 United States, and shotlld not only be brought into the lives Of the people. but made good use of. Every man should be sufficiently educated to be- come a citizen of the United States. If he has no knowledge of the English language or the ways of the English people, little application to the study of books, and observation of the man.
 ners of the people will soon enable him to talk and act as a citizen of the United States. Every man who lives in this country and who is old enough to vote, should be made a citizen and voter so that he may be able to- take part in the great affairs of the fore most country of the world. Once a
 voter, man should make himself &C., quainted with the political world. The speaker then went on to tell how a
