Woodward Opposed to Forelgn
-- era Becoming Citizens.
Judge "Woodward] tho Democratic
nominee for Governor of this State,
was a member; of the Convener
propose amendments and revi*
Constitution of the Commonw
Dating the sittings of the Convention
be offered a resolution as an amend-
ment to the - Constitution, that there
after alt persons of foreign birth be
disqualified to vote 1 or jhbitf office - in
tho Commonwealth. In support of
his amendment he | made a lengthy
and characteristic speech. Belp'w wo
g|ve the resolution and from
Woodward’s speech, to which wo de
isiro to call the special attention of
(those of our citizens who are of for
eign birth. We quote from tho pro
ceedings of the-ebnvention as publish
ed! page 445. .
; ‘‘A (motion was made by Mr. Magje,
of Periy coant}’, that the Convention
proceed to the second reading, and
consideration of resolution No. 48 in
the words following, viz :
Resolved, That a committee be ap
pointed to inquire into the expediency
of go amending the! Constitution ot
Pennsylvania as to prohibit or .to pre
vent the future emigration into this
State Ijbf free persons of-color and
fugitive slaves from other States or
j territories j_ ;
Mr. Woodward moved to amend by
adding there the words “and lhatsaid
committee be also instructed to in
inquire into the proprietyof so amend
|ing the Constitution as to prevent
j any foreigners who may arrive in this
| State after the fourth- of July, 1841,
I nom acquiring'the right to vote or to
; bold office in this Commonwealth.—
I in his speech in favor of his iamend
j ment he makes use Cf the following
; language. -I! -
“Sir, 1 appreciate ps mpeh as any
mam living, tho manji political rights
and privileges Which I. in common
with the people of lire United States,
are now enjoying; and it is my hon
est impression that wc do but squander
tkose'j>rivileges in conferring them upon
every individual rr ho chooses to come and
claim them. Ij know that a great ’por
tion of those who come among ns from
foreign countries consist frequently
of the vcorst part of the population fit
those countries;! that they are unifc
quainted with the value of these priv
ileges and that therefore they do
not know how to value them. I think
tljatin thus confering* indiscriminate
ly upon all we; are .doing injury to
our liberties and our institutions, and
J believe that it tho time has. not yet
come it will speedily come when ! it
(will he indispensably'necessary cither
for this body or some qther body fit
j this State or of the United , Slates to
inquire whether il is not right to put
I some plan into I execution -by which'
foreigners shojild tie prevented from
! controlling oi|r and brow
beating our American citizens- at- tho
polls. And what claim (have foreign
ers from any country —aye, sir, from
any country which 'is strofig enough to
justify us in prostituting, our political
privileges by coriferring them careless
ly and indiscriminately on any indi
vidually who may reside hero for two
‘or three years—ibecomo a naturalized
i citizen—and then command bur. offi
i cee ? There are very iriany of these
j emigrants who know nothing of. po
j-litical privilege in their 'pwn country
■ before they emigrate to this. -
The.word is unknown to them or if!
they hear of ,it at all they hear of it '
as something in which they have no
participation. Is not this tho fact ?
-Sir we all know',that it is! We know
that- very, many of these emigrants
never enjoyed any political privileg
es . themscjves—that they have no
knowledge ,of them, and Je.ast of all
have they any knowledge ofi our peo
ple,government or-our inatiiutiona?—
The acquirement of this knowledge is
not the work of a day. They have no
sympathy with us, and they have no
qualifications to render them fit recip
ients of these high political privi
leges ” ; -
Tbo ! above extracts are.sufficient wo
think, although the enii.ro speech
might bo qu"itod| as it abounds with
abuse of foreigners and fallacious rca
soning to prove that no foreigner
Should be. permitted ' to, enjoy -Ilib

! deliberately expressed of,
| George W. Woodward, the Democrat, |
| ip nominee for Governor of this Com
j rnonwcalth —the learler of a party that
j has always professed so much! love for
! the The parly, in ndrai
j nating Woodward, indorsed his sen
j timents and say with him that to con
j for.the right to vote upon foreigners
l is squandering our privileges. The
jjiat ty has changed from its opposition
to Americanism and not only become
the exponents' of;tho doctrines of that
party, but go much farther in their
radicalism, denouncing foreigners of
all classes, and [from every country,
in terms more | bitter and language»
more abusive than ever was in
dulged in by the most enthusiastic
Know Nothing. The American party
only proposed that foreigners should j
be in this country a certain term of
years before being naturalized and
enjoying the privileges of citizenship.
Woodward urges the necessity oi*dis
franchising ail foreigners forever.—
He speaks feelingly about prostituting
our political,privileges, by conferring
the r|gbt of citizenship or., foreigners.
Amefipanism was altogether too mild
for this defender of 1 our institutions
against foreign encroachments.
