For a long time past pains have been taken by the opponents of Democracy to break up the attachment of our adopted citizens for that party whose liberal principles have protected them from the hand of proscription. Four years ago Gen. Scott, then the Whig candidate for the Presidency, acting under the tuition of Wm. H. Seward, traversed the whole West, flattering, or attempting to flatter, this class of our citizens into his support. His appeals were so palpable and gross that the good sense of the Germans and Irish revolted at it, and the “rich Irish brogue’’ and “sweet German accent’’ contributed oaly to his defeat. Smarting under the rebuke which tliey had justly incurred, the same men who had thus attempted to propitiate the favor of the foreigners, turned about to avenge themselves, and the spirit of vindictiveness exhibited itself in a party organization founded in the single idea of a remorseless proscription of the immigrant who had come among us seeking a home under the liberal institutions of America. A party based upon a foundation so false, with no avowed principles of government to sustain it, sank in popular estimation as its objects and purposes became more clearly developed, and “the sober second thought of the people” consigned it to the grave.

Amongst them there was none more remarkable than the election of Wm. H. Seward, of New York, to the Senate of the United States. And there stands the record that W. H. Seward, the pretended friend of the foreigner, the mentor of Gen. Scott, received the votes of a large number of Know Nothings in the New ‘York legislature, and owes his electlon alone to them. It is acknowledged that to him, Mr. Fremont is indebted for his nomination. Without the assent of Seward, Fremont would not have been dreamed of. By his advice, and at his instigation Fremont was brought forward and made the candidate of the Republican party.

I While the bitterest animadversions are being indulged by our opponents on the position which the Democratic party maintains upon the subject of internal improvements, it is well that we have sufficient evidence upon the face of our statute books, and upon the face, too, of the country, to disprove the false charges so industriously disseminated. Not only have our statesmen in Congress, year after year, made liberal appropriations for improving the great rivers and harbors in every section of the country, but the map of the Western States is marked over with black lines,—not the black lines of the Black Republicans, which was to mark the separation of the States, but lines showing great chains of railway binding together the Union, and promoting the wealth and prosperity of all.

Of population which must attend upon giving and Tinicum slough, would come in under the such facility of communication to a country so fostering care of Uncle Sam, to the great detriment of his purse. The old system of corruption and public plunder would be set afoot— members of Congress looking to their own popalarity, and their own pecuniary gain, would be rampant around the doors of the Treasury, combinations would be constantly at work in the halls of legislation, and the legislators yiclding to temptation, would be seen, as of old, whispering in each others ears, “you vote for . ernment in the hands of the Democratic statesmy bill, for my district, and I will vote for . men will be put forth earnestly, to bind togethyours.” The Democratic party put an end to . et the extended borders of the Union, this system, long ago, by the firm and deterfiiigeie ayes mined stand which it took against the corrupting Arrourrusita.—8.

This is a question in which the people of California feel a deep concern, and each party has vied with the others in commending itself to the popular favor, by an exhibition of boundless zeal for its eonstraction.

For a long time past pains have been taken by the opponents of Democracy to break up the attachment of our adopted citizens for that party whose liberal principles have protected them from the hand of proscription. Four years ago Gen. Scott, then the Whig candidate for the Presidency, acting under the tuition of Wm. H. Seward, traversed the whole West, flattering, or attempting to flatter, this class of our citizens into his support. His appeals were so palpable and gross that the good sense of the Germans and Irish revolted at it, and the “rich Irish brogue’’ and “sweet German accent’’ contributed oaly to his defeat. Smarting under the rebuke which tliey had justly incurred, the same men who had thus attempted to propitiate the favor of the foreigners, turned about to avenge themselves, and the spirit of vindictiveness exhibited itself in a party organization founded in the single idea of a remorseless proscription of the immigrant who had come among us seeking a home under the liberal institutions of America. A party based upon a foundation so false, with no avowed principles of government to sustain it, sank in popular estimation as its objects and purposes became more clearly developed, and “the sober second thought of the people” consigned it to the grave.

Amongst them there was none more remarkable than the election of Wm. H. Seward, of New York, to the Senate of the United States. And there stands the record that W. H.

It is acknowledged that to him, Mr. Fremont is indebted for his nomination. Without the assent of Seward, Fremont would not have been dreamed of.

I While the bitterest animadversions are being indulged by our opponents on the position which the Democratic party maintains upon the subject of internal improvements, it is well that we have sufficient evidence upon the face of our statute books, and upon the face, too, of the country, to disprove the false charges so industriously disseminated. Not only have our statesmen in Congress, year after year, made liberal appropriations for improving the great rivers and harbors in every section of the country, but the map of the Western States is marked over with black lines,—not the black lines of the Black Republicans, which was to mark the separation of the States, but lines showing great chains of railway binding together the Union, and promoting the wealth and prosperity of all.

Of population which must attend upon giving and Tinicum slough, would come in under the such facility of communication to a country so fostering care of Uncle Sam, to the great detriment of his purse. The old system of corruption and public plunder would be set afoot— members of Congress looking to their own popalarity, and their own pecuniary gain, would be rampant around the doors of the Treasury, combinations would be constantly at work in the halls of legislation, and the legislators yiclding to temptation, would be seen, as of old, whispering in each others ears, “you vote for . ernment in the hands of the Democratic statesmy bill, for my district, and I will vote for . men will be put forth earnestly, to bind togethyours.” The Democratic party put an end to . et the extended borders of the Union, this system, long ago, by the firm and deterfiiigeie ayes mined stand which it took against the corrupting Arrourrusita.—8.
