Americans shall rule America In other woras rior x mean to deal in no equivocation no j elusion to cover up nothing, dodge nothing, deny nothing. In other words then, that native born Amen- j cans shall fill all offices of political importance unde such as President of a bank Rail Road, or other Corporation, but every office which gives to its holder an influence on the legislation of tlie country. These are the offices from which we are pledged to exclude Foreigners, and this is the position I am prepared to maintain." It is not denied that we have enough, and more than enough competent Americans to fill every office we have to bestow, but it is urged that such a distinction is odious and unjust to our Foreign popu lation.. Howiff it unjust 1 He has been deprived of nothing-by emigration here. In his own land he did not even have the right of suffrage. His property was never Tor an hour secure. II ia personal liberty was constantly in danger. He could not write, or speak his sentiments with impunity. He was ground down witn taxes. JL press ffanar ranmt at any mo ment tear nun irom me uosom 01 ms iamiiy, or an oi- . .e landord turn that fam; honae on .A. world. All this is changed. We have friven him the riarht to vote. . We have inven him peace. We have i:-iven him, security. We have given him indepen dence, and how because we will notgive him the right to make the laws by which we are to be governed, he forgets in his arrogant ingratitude the hundred bless ings we have showed upon him, and repays the safety of the Altar by malignant aspersions of the Ministers to whom he owes his protection. It is a delusion to talk about the rights of Foreigners. Priaileges is the proper word. We were not bound to extend to j them the right of suffrages. We were not bound to give them protection, liberty, peace, independence. j All these were voluntarily gifts. It was philanthropy I in its broadest sense. Nor is there one . of the mil lions who flood the country . who would not have ex changed his own land for oura even if the Constitu tion had denied him the privilege of voting. The other avantageshe obtains would have been sufficient, and more than sufficient to have made him anxious for a i shelter beneath the wings of the Eagle. Where then.is j the injustice? He has all he asked, more, much more LliUil 1M5 WVIVUV1 XtOiVV; VV7V7LX TVXlLlflg w uiavi xuw 1 o argued that exclusion from office fixes an odious brand upon him. Without stopping to remark upon the absurdity of such a position it is sufficient to say that the brand is already fixed by the Constitution. It is upon him now, and will remain upon him until that instrument is torn out from the archives of the nation. Tlie second Section of the first Article prescribes that no one shall be a Representative in Congress who has not "been seven years a citizen of the United States." ! rie have twenty or more years a resident of the country before his Naturalization papers were ta- . , ... i . t i ken out, and yet ne must remain seven years , longer before he can occupy the post of a Representative. Here is a distinction and a broad one. It is idle to talk about degrees of infamy If exclusion for life renders a man infamous, exclusion for a term of years must have the same effect. Both alike presuppose a ! difference between the Native, and the Foreigner. oifinn ftTul hotb. whether inst- , jv or uniostly. give a preference to Native born citi- : zens. : : : . . .. . The mird section of the same article prescribes that ! no ns shall a Senator who has not "been nine years a citizen of the United States." Here the dis tinction is broader, jls tne omce id iiupnauw us the danger arising from ij Aranee. or oreconceivea . . i nnininns lienomes irreater t ,e more careful the framers ! s 4 I'm ' . X ...nMa f 1iA OMlnAda 0f Xa- oi tne jjonsutution were to "" ivw Mo tive citizens, until at last in the highest .of all offices Foreigners are excluded entirely, :In the.first section of the second article the Constitution declares that "no person except a Natural born citizen'.' shall be "eligi ble to the office of President,' and the twelfth amend ment declares that no foreigner shall be eligible to the office of Vice President. It thus appears that for eigners are absolutly prohibited by the' Constitution from filling the only two offices which emanate direct ly from the whole people, whose incumbents are elect ed by the whole people, and who are in an especial manner the guardians of the rights of, the people. What stronger distinction is it possible to make be? tween the Native, and the foreign bom citizen T In comparison with that, how poor and how weak is the mere resolution of a political party that they will not vote for foreigners? If the declaration of such a pur pose by .those who are called Know Nothings is odi ous, unjust, infamous and tyrannical, what will, you do with, that Constitution we all profess to revere? From that green and living root they extracted the essence of their creed. Whatever of wisdom what ever of patriotisms-whatever of sincere devotion to Kberty and the country may encircle, them is drawn ftom the same healthful source. Strike them down and you aim a blow at the supreme law of the land. Strike iJieiiV'elown,! and you prepare the way for amendments to the Constitution which will soon have :'Ft W if rvrtf vfLsaola in mm in tlimu i .? tx z ;x x jl x cnanw. . 1 am ug ware uiat ii i uueujuuiry lu r f-xt. -i ,j-. : :i We 1 areexidtihjypeited to the fact that there are but three millions of foreigners, while there are twenty millions of Natives. : Tliesefigures are not accurate, we. will take them as they are given us. It must be remembered that of this three millions of foreigners, a 1 rememDerea uu 01 mis mree muiions 01 ioreignera, a proportion are voters.

The courts have decided that refusing to take a paper or periodical from the office, or removing and leaving it uncalled for, is "prima fade" evidence of intcntipnal fraud, every body of emigrants are males. This wm thi$ case even in Californiawhen the emigration Was only from one portion of our territory to another. . All of us can call to mind cases in which the head of the family alone is a foreigner, while the wife and children are Natives, These go to swell the number' of Natitei on the census books, while the voter the efficient and controlling power,, is set dtfwn is one foreigner. Let us look at the other side : Of the tWratymilliotxl of Americans, about one-half are females. This dis poses of ten millions. Of the remainder, at least two thinls are children and boys too young to vote. That disposes of near seven millions more, and brings the number of voters down ranch nearer to an equality , than is at all agreeabld, or than our opponents are wil ling to admit. These facts have toot been unknown to or unmarked by Politicians. There ia not an. aspir ing Demagogue in all the land who has not, time and again, made himself conspicuous as the avocate of Foreigners. William H. Seward, with his cold caH . culating, heartless selfishness, is the leader in this race of adulation to! whatever is of foreign extraction ; and many better men who ought not to be named in the same breath are hastening in his footsteps. Even tne veteran soldier whose life had been passed among bullets whose nerves had never been shaken in tho deadliest conflict, when ho was a candidate, quailed . Deiore tne vast lntrucnee these strangers had acquired. '- uvvv,ub ucvauio no uiueiv w ito vm Two public acts in the recent history of the country exhibit still more strongly the dangers of foreign in fluence, and admonish us to check it While We have Jet ' the power. In the autumn of 1849 Father Mathcw, an Irish Priest, who had acquired great celebrity as a Temper ance lecturer, paid a visit to the United States. He came to Washington and a resolution was at once introduced to allow him the privilege of tho floor of the Senate. This was opposed by Mr. Calhoun on the ground that it was lowering tho dignity of tho Senate, and cheapening its honors., By myself and others upon the further ground that he had while in Ireland indulged in denunciations of slavery and taken part with the abolitionists against the South, which I considered an unwarrantable intermeddling With mat ters that in no way , concerned him. Notwithstanding these objections the resolution passed by a decided ma jority, and Father Mathcw took his seat upon the floor of the Senate. Not long afterwards Gen. Til low, who bore upon his person the marks of honorable wounds recently received in theservice of the Repub lic, visited Washington,-and fotthd, to- his mortifica tion no doubt, that the place which had been occupied by a Catholic Priest was inaccessible to him, a na tive born American, and late a Major General in the wars of his Country. Nor was he alone a sufferer.--Every officer! w-ho served in the Mexican war, hot a member of Congress, or an existing State Legislature, r. was in like manner excluded, with perhaps the singlo exception of Gen. Scott, who had received a special vote of thanks during the war of 1812, which of Itself entitled him to admission. It will 'not do to tell ma V that respect for the cause of temperance produced this r astonishing result The Congress of the U. 8. are not remarkable as disciples df temperance, and that very day there were perhaps not six Members of tho Senate who did a not drink wine at dinner, or brandy before. i " ' The Irish "vote was the controlling cause the de sire to conciliate that large body of naturalized citi- t zens who looked tfp to Father Matthew as a superior being. It was this which gave to the Foreigner and the Catholic afl importance-above and beyond that of the soldiery whose blood had been poured out like wa- tcr on the plains of Mexico. It was this which in duced the Senate to forget what it had been to throw aside the severe dignity which had so elevated them in the minds of men, and to exchange the character of Roman sages for that of servile sycophants. There was a time when mat body was composed of sterner stuff. There was a time when sucn a proposition would have been treated with the scorn it deserved. But that was before the Irish Exodus. Now if we venture to question foreign merit, it must be done with bated "breath.'' If we venture to deny any foreign" demand, however imperious; we are threatened with political annihilation, and yettl am told we arc ' in no danger from foreign influence. When the Sen ate of -the United States has bent before the storm whereTare we to look 'for that pubjic Virtue which is sturdy enough to resist it? The other case to which I allude was still more out rageous. L. Kossuth had been actively engaged in exciting a revolution in Hungary, but when tho hour of trial came he shrunk from the danger he had evoked and flying across the frontier took refuge beneath the Crescent of the Turk. An immense amount of sym pathy was at once manufactured for him, and our Government, not to be behind the public expectation, dispatched a vessel of war to bring him to our shores. Of course this was done under the specious, name of svmnathv for strusrcrline freedom. But if there had been no German votes m the United States lam very much inclined to the opinion that sympathy would have expended itself in some less costly manner. But not satisfied with bringing him here both branches of Cougress passed resolution inviting him to Washing ton. He came in all the pomp which surrounds tho Monarchsofthe old world armed Guards paraded before his door to keep of the vulgar populace. And we wjio would not have tolerated such conduct for one hpur in the President of the Republic, not only submitted to it on the part of this Foreign men dieant, but actually invited him within the bar or the Senate, He entered with all his guard about him. The clank of Foreign sabres awaked the echoes in the vestibule ofthe Senate, and an eager crowd ot Repub licans looked on with wondering admiration at the pa geant. If the Dead are permitted to witness events upon Earth what must have been the feelings of the stern, Fathers of the RcpubBc when they saw the vel vet uniforms of a Foreign body guard within the sa cred precincts ofthe Senate 1 Let ns suppose them gathered about the immortal Washington, as they tom mnf tA rather in the davs that tried men's sou s, gazing in sorrow and silence upon tbe disgraceful spec tacle. There is Warren, Green, Sumpter. Marion, Lee", Shelby, Williams, Wayne and a hundred others of the mighty dead. They remember that it was Ger man cannon that thinned their ranks at Mud Fort and Red Bank. They remember that German shouts rang Vr. tin. field of Brandvwine. They remember that German- bayonets were dimned with patriot blood at Monmouth, i They remember Chads ford, and .Chews house, and many another field where they met the hlre4 mercenaries that England's gold had-'DTomTht acoss the Atlantic to fasten manacles upon a people who had never injured them, , and remembering this ther turn to each other, with the mournful inquiryj "are these our sons i are uu tnuuuvua oi uu? rewr tion already forgotten T" Ah ? shades of departed Pa triots, there ia an engine of power in our land of which in your day-yon did not dream, xnere are s iew hundred thousand German voters among us, and eve ry Demagogue who aspires to the Presidency, and all the Statelites that glimmer about him are vieing With each other in base exmcessions to German pride and German feeling. But the picture' is ft sickening one and I turn from it God knows it was bitter enough at the time, and I have no wish to dwell upon it anew. Not satisfied with the honors heaped upon Kossuth Congress determined to extend to him more ''materi al aid." Mr. Seward discovered that he was the Na tion's guest, and introduced ft Bill assuming his ex penses as & National debt Thewcount turned out tl i r. fm,nt This tilain republican ! martyr to liberty only lived at the rate of $500 per : .
