Mutilated Extracts.
Thb Age thla morning sajs:
"The radicals no longer dlsgnlse their appro
benslons of defeat In tbls city. In foot, tney
'give op' their entire city ticket, and are now
only scrambling for some of the minor offloea
that are to be voted for. On Tburday last thb
Evknino Tkxkqraph, a radioal newspaper,
published hereabout-, aald 'there i grant danger
that lh Republican will not carry tht city of
Philadelphia on Tuesday next. There U at pre
mt a strong probability that u will b defeated.'
Thla 'strong probability ' haa now been re
duced to an absolute certainty, and none of the
radical leaden really believe that ihey have
the Bhoat of a chance of succeeding on tne 13th
Instant."
We do sot objeot to the Age, or any other
of the Demooratio journals, quoting from any
article we publish as freely as they please;
but we do object, both on the. ground of truth
and gentlemanly honor, to hare oar mean
ing perverted by not quoting all that we say
In connection with a statement. The old
story is told of the atheist who fortified his
opinion by stating that the Bible said, "There
is no God," omitting the rather important
connection, "The fool hath said in his heart,
there is no God." With equal perversity
the Age quotes just enough of our articles to
convey a meaning entirely distinct from that
Intended.
"THE ClTT IN DANQBB, AJTD IIOW TO SAVE IT.
There U great danger that the Republicans
will not carry the city of Philadelphia on
Xueeday week. There la at present a strong
possibility that we will be defeated. It may be
asked, 'What I do you mean to say that the
atrocious dootrines of Seymour and Blair com
mand the support of a majority of our paopleT'
"We answer without hesitation, Nol If the
real sentiment of the citizens could be obtained
at tne polls, Philadelphia would Rive ten
thousand majority for Tyndale. But unless
some measures of the most decisive kind are
taken, it will matter little what may be the
real sentiments of the people. There have been
foing on In Philadelphia frauds so unblush
ogly outrageous and criminal, that we pause
In astonishment at thedarlugof the attempts
made. The wlsh.s of the legal voters will not
matter one Jot or one tittle In deciding the
result, nnless measures of great magnitude be
at once put Into operation, and with a firmness
and a vigilance without ceasing the forgers and
perjurers be brought to Justice."
Such is what we actually did say; and we
leave it to oar readers if the impression oon
Teyed in both oases is the same. We never
feared the loss of the city to the Republicans
if the terrible frauds which were then
just being nnearthed could be deteoted and
punished. If there are 10,000 fraudulent
papers on the street, is it unreasonable that
we fear that an honest expression of public
opinion will not be seoured f
We regret keenly to see our neighbor conde
scending to pick flaws in what we say, and to
endeavor to wrong us by misquoting or peck
ing at typographical errors. We will cite an
infltanoe, small in itself, but which displays
what we mean. At the time of the earth
quake in South Amerioa we stated that
32,000,000 of people had perished. Of ooarae,
the error was typographical, and was shown
to be so by the body of the article. The Age
seleou the error, and oomments on it. The more
recent case of the infamous falsehood in regard
to General Tyndale is one too fresh to need
recalling to the minds of our readers. All
these things show that the spirit which is of
late aotnating our contemporary is not of that
tone nor even of that honest spirit which we
should expect of the representative journal of a
politioal party. We desire to call the atten
tion of the Age to this matter, as in thus
aoting it is appearing in a manner detestable,
and whioh all right-minded citizens of every
party will repudiate.
Naturalization in the Supreme Court.
Thb faot that a dozen blank certificates of
naturalization, sealed with a seal whioh is a
fac-rimile of that of the Supreme Court, and
signed "J. Rosa Snowden" m a hand whioh so
nearly resembles the writing of that gentle
man that he himself has beea unable to de
clare under oath that it is not genuine, has
oreated a profound impression throughout the
community. If twelve of these doouments are
found on one man's person, the perplexing
questions arise, how many of them are in cir
culation T and how many of them will avail on
the 13th of October to counteract the ballots
of true and loyal citizens f It is true that
Chief Justice Thompson left his seat on the
bench and took the witness stand, where he
emphatically declared that the signatures
purporting to be those of the Prothono
tary were forgeries; bat if Colonel
Snowden himself oould not feel
Bale in making a similar declaration, what
hope or expectation is there of the judges of
election being able to distinguish between the
papers which bear genuine and forged certifi
cation? Moreover, the impress of the seal of
the Court was, to all appearances, a perfect
fao-timile, whioh even the enthusiastic Chief
Justice could not call in question. Putting it
all together, it is safe to assert that every one
of these fraudulent or stolen naturalization
papers, of which the captured dozen were a
mere sample, will be presented at the polls on
election day and triumphantly defy all
aorutiny. There may be bat a hundred of
them : there may be Ave thousand. The
sooundrel who would steal or forge a dozen
would steal or forge a barrel fall quite as
oon, and with as slight oompunotlon of
jonsolenoe.
And in the faoe of these startling facta, what
has the Supreme Court done t What steps
have been taken by the Chief Justice and his
associate to investigate this matter, to probe it
to the bottom, to ascertain with the slightest
appf oaoh to certainty the number of fraala
ent or forged papers which have been put
jaQoat f In answer, we can only say that the
Court has pursued a course in relation to this
matter whioh will tend to establish the guilt
or innooenoe of its Prothonotary, and nothing
more. The episode of the twelve blanks
signed and sealed in due form, to be filled up
as the exigencies of the Demooratio party
arise, has soaroely ruffled its composure in the
matter of naturalization. The Judge Etill sits
composedly on the bench, whiling away the
time with pen or paper, or actually engaged in
hearing the argument of oounsel in oases
entirely foreign to the subject of naturalization;
the Prothonotary is still kept busy affixing his
signature to naturalisation papers, without
even glanoing at the names they bear; and the
crier and tipstaves oontinue to administer th
oaths to applicants and vouchers, half a dozen
or more voices mingling at once in the monoto
nous work.
A citizen who had the parity of the ballot
and the welfare of the country at heart would
imagine that if the court chose to do nothing
more it would at least attempt to remedy the
glaring irregularities of its present praotioe in
the matter of naturalization, and oaase it to
conform to the plain requirements of the law.
That It has not done so is patent to every one
who has ventured into the court room daring
the past few days. The judge may as wel1
be asleep or in the island of Terra del Fuego,
as far as the ceremony of naturalization is
concerned. That there has been no change in
the praotioe of the court in past years is no
palliation. A hundred thousand Irregularities
in the past are no exouse for their repetition
now that the fruits of these irregularities are
being developed day by day in a manner whioh
startles the people.
The only question to be considered is as to
the state of the law and its requirements
These have been so clearly and inoontestably
set forth by a distinguished member of the
Philadelphia Bar, in a oommunloation ad.
dressed to Judges Thompson and Sharswood,
and published in the Press of thla morning,
that we quote from it at length, as follows:
The proceeding by which an alien obtains
bis final certificate of na'.urallz tUon Is a Judi
cial proceeding, to be oauduoted under the su
pervision ol the court, nU not of Its clerk, and
the alien obtains his certificate by the judg
ment of the court, of which a record la or ought
to be made up. 7Craucb, 420. Therefore every
certificate lsoued on proof made to your pro
Ibouotary or bis deputies, which proof haa not
been made In the actual hearing of the court,
and which has not been actually passed upon
by the court, Is unlawfully Issued. And ainoe
aliens, or their kind friends of the Ddinocratlo
committee, will seek your court for naturaliza
tion, I submit thai It Is your clear lawful duty
to give to each application exactly the same Ju
dicial consideration that you give to a Jury trial
at AUt Prixts, or to an argument in bono.
"Tne act of Congress of Uih April, 1802, sec
tion 1, provides tnat any alien, etc, may be
admitted to bicome a clilaen on certain named
conditions, and not otherwise. Among these
conditions are, that at the thus of bis applica
tion he shall ueo.are on oath, etc.. before tome
one of the courts, thai be will support the Con
Blltnilon of the United States, etc, whioh pro
ceedings shall be recorded by the clerk or the
court; that the court admitting him shall be
tatnjled that be has resided within the United
Statve five years at least, etoi tnat be haa be
haved as a man of good moral character,
attached to the principles of the Constitution,
etc., and well disposed to the good order and
happiness of the same, elo.
"l.very line of this act and all the subsequent
legislation expressly recognize the judiolal
character of the proceeding, and assume that
the conscience of the court must be satisfied
before Its Judgment admltticg the alien appli
cant to citizenship shall be entered. See 7 Kill,
137. No argument can add foroe to the plain
letter of the statute, nor cau any argument be
necessary to convince the minds of Judges
as familiar with statutory construction as your
Honors. I need therefore only add that if the
language of the aot were doubtful, the third
section of the act of 1821 weuld resolve that
doubu for it. In terms, makes the preliminary
declaration of Intention to become a citizen,
made before the clerk, as valid as if it had been
made before the court. Under a familiar prin
ciple of construction thla settles the question
as to the necessity of making the final declara
tion and its proof not only In court but to the
satisfaction of the court."
As John Quincy Adams has been imported
into Pennsylvania to address the Demooracy
of this State, his views gain additional impor
tance at this stage of the canvass. If Mr
Wallace, however, imagines that this degene
rate representative of a noble name oan change
the opinions of a single intelligent Republioan
he is wofully mistaken. If the original John
Quincy Adams were living at this moment, no
man in Amerioa would be listened to with
more respect, no man would more heartily
rejoice in the victory won over slavery, atd
no man would more impressively warn his
qountrymen against reviving the orippled
power of the treaoheroas and dangerous Rebel
conspirators. We would be glad to exohange
a one-hour speech of "blind old Dandolo" in
behalf of Republicanism for all the vapid non
sense his grandson can utter on behalf of the
Democracy until the ides of November.
As the missionary efforts of John Qutnoy
Adams, Jr., must necessarily fail among Re
publicans, perhaps Mr. Wallaoe will send
him to the Demooratio strongholds. Berks
county, for instance, would be a good Iooality.
There General Jackson's name is still annually
invoked to cover the multitude of sins perpe
trated by modern Demooracy, and a favorite
charge against the Republicans is that they
are responsible, in some inexplicable manner,
for General Jackson's failure to secure the
Presidential prize in 1824.- The Berks oounty
Democracy would be muoh edified by an elabo
rate discussion of this lively topio by the
grandson of Jackson's successful rival.
As it has also been customary
to rally the faithful in Berks county
by a recapitulation of the alleged enormities
of John Adams' administration, John Quinoy
Adams, Jr., oould be profitably employed la
expatiating, for the benefit of his Demooratio
Pennsylvania associates, upon the deeds of his
great-grandfather as well as of his grand
father. As the preaent status of the new
favorite Demooratio orator is attributable to
his illustrious ancestry, he should maka the
most of the historical reminidoenoes with
which his name is associated.
Let the Supreme Court of the Common,
wealth of Pennsylvania assemble in bans
at once, if it be pofs'ble. The honor and
dignity of the Court demand It; the good name
of the Commonwealth demands it; the parity
of the ballot-box and the rights of legal voters
demand It. If ever there was a crisis in the
history of the State whioh required the calm
and deliberate action of our Supreme judicial
tribunal, that crisis is upon us now.
The Spanish Revolution.
Ths last Brurbon sovereign has been driven
from her throne, and all good men will rejoioe
that the Spanish revolution has been an imme
diate success, without muoh bloodjshedding.
The question now is, What is to fohow f Is
Spain to be allowed to rise to her proper place
in the family of nations, under a strong bat
liberal and popular government, or is she to
become Mexioanized and sink to greater depths
of degradation than ever beneath a reign of
anarohy caused by the efforts of rival ohiefs to
grasp the sovereignty of the State f The
tyranny whioh for so many years bore down
upon the Spanish people was so utterly oon.
temptibleln lis charaoter, that their submis
sion to it for so long a time is a fair argument
against their fitness for the enjoyment of a
more liberal and enlightened rule. The power
of the Spanish priesthood, more deadly and
dangerous than Bourbon stupidity, must also
be broken be fort any permanent reforms oan
be expected; and the bold which the Church
of Rome has upon the minds and hearts of the
people will, it is feared, be the greatest obstaole
in tte way of their political regeneration.
Thus far Hie progress of the revolution has
been in every way satisfactory. The Queen,
whose notorious lioentlonsneBa brought the
blush of shame to the cheek of every high
minded Spaniard whenever her name was
mentioned, has fled from the country, and
yesterday Marshal Serrano, aooompanied by
seven generals of the army, entered Madrid
in triumph, with every demonstration of re
joicing by the people. A true patriot and a
statesman, Eapartero, has been plaoed at the
head of a provisional goverment, and a cabinet
has been formed as follows: President, Ser
rano; Commerce, Castello; Marine, Topete;
Justice, Aquirrez; War, General Prim; Foreign
Affairs, Ologaza; Finance, Madoz. Daring
the review which took place yesterday in
Madrid, the troops carried, side by side
with the national flags, banners upon whioh
were inscribed the significant mottoes,
"Down with the Bourbons," "Sovereignty
of the People," "Religious Liberty," and
"Free Education." The two last-named mot
toes must be the watchwords of the revolu
tion If it Is to prove anything more than "a
transitory success. It is reported that Gene
rals Gaillos and Prim are adverse to the forma
tion of a republic, and, whether sincere or
not, they are undoubtedly right on this point.
There is, perhaps, no oountly in Europe less
fit for a perfectly free government of the
people like that of the United States than
Spain, and a republio is not to be expeoted, or
even looked for, at the present time. A strong,
but liberal constitutional monarohy, with a
man of enlightened ideas at its head, is what
Is now needed; and in such a government,
and in the prohibition of priestly meddling in
affairs of state, must the advooates of reform
centre their hopes of a permanent deliveranoe
from tyranny.
Shall Perjury be Triumphant?
Wb have made an earnest effort to counteract
the wholesale perjury of the' professional
vouchers of applicants for naturalization in
the Supreme Court, as our columns have
abundantly testified during the past few days
The exposures whioh we have made have
caused the alarm to be taken, and now every
conceivable obstacle Is being thrown in our
way. On Friday a crier of the court, throngh
stupidity or wilfulness, perverted the instruc
tions of Judge Sharswood, and caused us'to
lose an entire day. On Saturday, when Judge
Sharswood had given speoifio instructions
which were entirely satisfactory to us,
eitner through negligence or design, a
huge bundle of papers were presented for the
examination of our reporters, and it was no
until the labor of the day had been brough
to a close that this second triok was detected,
and another day found to be wasted. It is
barely possible that both of these obstructions
were accidental, but it is soaroely probable.
The crier and olerk who were the instruments
of the delay are both Demoorats, holding
their positions by virtue of their Demooracy,
and retaining them only so long as they
continue faithfully to serve the cause ot the
Demooratio party. There 'ore, whether acci
dental or designed, the delays to whioh we are
subjected will appear to the publlo in the
latter light; and not until our labors are per
mitted to oontinue without obstruction will
the Demooratio party and its instruments be
relieved of the imputation of a - design to ob
struct the ends of justice.
Tub infamous attacks of the Demooratio
press upon General Hector Tyndale should
aronse in his behalf an irresistible feeling of
enthusiasm. He is not only one of the bravest
and most brilliant soldiers of the war, bat a
citizen beyond reproaoh, and an enterprising
and honorable merchant; and he is gifted with
rare intelligence as well as unimpeaohable in
tegrity. Philadelphlans have never had an
opportunity to vote for a manioipal oandidate
aioie worthy or their suffrages, and in eleotlng
him the city would seoure a noble Mayor.
