owing 10 our foreign population, that the coming
generations will up ignorant OF their coIhtiys
history. Is the duty Of every parent ana teacher
instil in the youthful mind the principles OF true
patriotism The second duty OF every American
citizen, and indeed the most important duty, Is 10
secure pure ballot. First, by restriction Of
suffrage. Despite the fact that England has adopted
the principle Of manhood suffrage, | hold that no
man should be allowed to vote until he can read.
Every man who claims the right 10 vote in Americs
should DC able to read the American Constitution
and the ballot which he is voting. second, every
man should be compelled 10 exercise the right Of
IN
or local government, blush for those who lie down
suplney and refuse to try 10 remedy this evil by
their votes. And never can any reform be effected
In New-York City until honest citizens do exercise
corrective influence by their ballots. Third, This
right should be exercised rightly. \ true citizen
should be patriotic and not partisan. We must make
our power felt at the well as at the polls.
Every who Is truly patriotic will see the need Of
work along these lines
