In a momeut Chauvel looked as though he were entirely forgotten. No convention of. ready to hold up kis right hand and any party has yet dared to put forth a/swear that the gallant Lafayette had Squire Williams thought the “Declarbut condemn the policy of the Republican party of the state as evinced in that resolution passed at their late state convention relative to foreigners. For the siim prospect of gaining a few Irish votes they have sacrificed the hope of concil. iating the Americans by such action. To strike a blow for the purity of elections and to end the practice too alarmingly frequent of crowding foreigners fresh from their mother sod into the naturalization courts for immediate political purposes, the: people of ‘Massachusetts recently decided by a powerful vote that no foreigner should vote until two years after naturalization. The Republicans of this State, in convention assembled, denounced the course pursued by the people of a sister state as Anti-Republican, and seek to make amends to the foreigners by a most unwise profession of love for them. It seems to us this is loves’ labor lost as welias an outrage upon good policy. For the educated foreigner, if a member of the Republican party, is attached to it probably from principle and will vote with the party whether in Massachusetts or not, and not a whit sooner on account of that condemnatory resolution. Those who are liable to be deterred or attracted by a name, belong to the Democratic party as naturally as dregs go tothe bottom of a vessel. It is useless to spend time and argument on ninety-nine Irishmen out of a hundred. By the immutable laws of gravitation they fall into the loco foco organization, and itis like pulling a bull up hill by Therethe tal to get them out of it. fore little or nothing is gained by the resolution, but on the contrary much lost. Those native Americans who have as yet no party but who when compelled to take a choice between existing . Shades of politics would go with the Republicans, are alienated by such action It does not please one of these that a foreign vote is esteemed higher than his Besides it is bad policy in another respect. From the present aspect of parties no one can say that JolnJ: Crittenden John Bell, or John Minor Botts may not be the candidate for President supported by the Republicans of 1860, with Governor Banks for the Vice Presidency. The tone of some of the most preminent Republican papers renders sucl nowinations more than proballe. themselves embarassed by the resolution ) Will not our California Republieans find . when compelled to defend the Americanism of Bell, Crittenden, and especially Banks ?

No convention of. ready to hold up kis right hand and any party has yet dared to put forth a/swear that the gallant Lafayette had Squire Williams thought the “Declarbut condemn the policy of the Republican party of the state as evinced in that resolution passed at their late state convention relative to foreigners. For the siim prospect of gaining a few Irish votes they have sacrificed the hope of concil. iating the Americans by such action. To strike a blow for the purity of elections and to end the practice too alarmingly frequent of crowding foreigners fresh from their mother sod into the naturalization courts for immediate political purposes, the: people of ‘Massachusetts recently decided by a powerful vote that no foreigner should vote until two years after naturalization. The Republicans of this State, in convention assembled, denounced the course pursued by the people of a sister state as Anti-Republican, and seek to make amends to the foreigners by a most unwise profession of love for them. It seems to us this is loves’ labor lost as welias an outrage upon good policy. For the educated foreigner, if a member of the Republican party, is attached to it probably from principle and will vote with the party whether in Massachusetts or not, and not a whit sooner on account of that condemnatory resolution. Those who are liable to be deterred or attracted by a name, belong to the Democratic party as naturally as dregs go tothe bottom of a vessel. It is useless to spend time and argument on ninety-nine Irishmen out of a hundred. By the immutable laws of gravitation they fall into the loco foco organization, and itis like pulling a bull up hill by Therethe tal to get them out of it. fore little or nothing is gained by the resolution, but on the contrary much lost. Those native Americans who have as yet no party but who when compelled to take a choice between existing . Shades of politics would go with the Republicans, are alienated by such action It does not please one of these that a foreign vote is esteemed higher than his Besides it is bad policy in another respect. From the present aspect of parties no one can say that JolnJ: Crittenden John Bell, or John Minor Botts may not be the candidate for President supported by the Republicans of 1860, with Governor Banks for the Vice Presidency.
