I :go, To the Presidenttisnd Secretary of the Amer , lean Repablio4 Association, High Street Ward: 1 ~.. Gaanzans,:--- enclosed circular was handed to me lag evening ,by a gentleman whom I suppose , be one of you, and as I cannot conseienti onl y accept your invitation to jnin your asso c ation, it beconnis my duty ce to tell yon the reason ;ha. '.. -The.political party of ;Inch your assoeia , : tiori fortes a, part, !has existed for some months in this county, a ' having from my youth taken an interest n political affairs and the origin and P of parties, it , was, natural that this party of yours shanld receive, as it did, from me, coatiderable attention, and that thereby I should becpme acquainted with its principles and d4igns. lam a "native born" citizen, was born and 4of Philadelph" M • bred in the county of nu, aelphia. . .y an cestors, both patenal and maternal, although ,1 1. of Gennan,deoce t, were for two or three generations back, born and reared on the wit of Pennsylvania • so that if nativity inspires " • patriotism, I ought to be a patriot, and if I know, myself, I-will, whenever circumstances require it, take-"'bold and decided stand" in the defence and,Protection of the "flag of my country' and of the institutions which 'it is designed to protect; arid of• which it is the -emblem. ; 1 • Arid if-i have ft proper conception of my own feelings, I would be second to no one in " resisting the encroachments of foreigners . ..nylon the rights 4nd privileges of the citizens of this eountiy ;II and I would with equal alacrity resist all', influences, whethx . r foreign _or domestic*, that would in any degree jeop ritdize or disturb !those invaluable rights liber ty of consciencl,t and freedom of opinion, tt ' der •which_ our country has so long existed in peace and quietness. But you ask me to come anitaidyou in re sisting the " enc echments of foreigners up on the - rights an privileges of native born eit (to lune. Your eirCular and your party assume that those who I l ere by accident bornupon -the soil. of the U ited States, have rights and privileges which l those , born elsewhere have -; not. In this aastimption I most decidedly differ, with you. 1- The framers of the 'Consti tution very wis t e . ; provided that every office ' under the I r liei States, even unto the high est, shotild be attainable by a citizen of the ,; proper qualification, no matter where born, and every man who seeks a home on our shores, even if born in, the desert of Siberia or on the fey shires of Lapland, is, when nat uralized according to the constitution and - laws of the Unin, an American citizen, not &foreigner, and is justly and righteously ,en -1 titled - to all rights and privileges equal with -those whoieaccidental birth-place was upon the soil pf the United States. And why should you ask me to protect the flag of my country against the encroachments of those who iii 4 not happen to be born in _ the same place I was? .. And Omit you that those noble-hearted pa- ! • triots pledged their fortunes—risked their 1 lives and alrihat was dear to them on earful --•-merely that one race of men--merely 'that 1 those born on one spot of earth should enjoy i . the blessings of liberty and.free government? i . —think yote.that those brave soldiers of - for- • eign birth fonget side by - side with Wash- i , ington and G.14.t.4i, with Green, Sumpter, Ma rion and Morgan, merely that those born on I this 'soil shouldlenjoy the fruits of their toil 1 and sufferings ?1 No, No. Our fathers fought 1 for and established a government. ,that was a \promised " Asellum to •the 'oppressed of, all 1 nations," where, the defeated patriot of all f lands and climes, whether he bore the cross ; of. Christ or'the cresent of lifahornet, should I find a home and a resting place. ' • Or do, you want more recent evidence of I . the disposition of those of foreign birth to ins -1 taro and"defend the " Star-Spangled Banneri"l Go to the plain of Chippewa--eto ;the battle! grounds of Bridgewater and Fort Erie--there you will find that the blood of foreigners was freely poured Out in -defence of the American flag and Arnericari instillitions, and there you will find the beached and mouldering bo . nesi of foreigners mangled and ,commingled with those of natio - born citizens. ' -• ' Is it not th "same "Star Spangled Banner" differtng only 'a the number ofite stara,thet _waved 'over et gallant band-, who so nobly fought., and. i a of-whom so nobly died un der the walls if Quebec=--that enshrouded the • dead body of that noble hearfed Irishman, Richard Mon gomery, who`there fell fighting ~ in its defence I Is not the same " Star-Span gled Banner - under which Lafayette, Pu- I - . laski, De . :slab, Ruiciusko, Stu ben, and 1 many others of,foreign birth fought the bat-', .'' tles of our I depennence: and in defence of 'which many, of them shed their blood ? Is it not the sem:. "Star-Spangled' Banner" Aid' waved in triumph' on the ramparts at Yurk to,vn, over the victorious allied armies of --Franteeand America? Why then do you ask me to aid yOu in excluding the fellow 'coun trymen of these men from the protection and ' support. ofthis seine " Star-Spangled Banner?" And do you lelit know thatin that noble band which asset bled in our. old State House, on the morning of the memorable 4th Of July, 1776, and illere signed and 4110 that sacred instrument ishieb gave birth to our tuition,- there were-many foreigners ? in that body - there wasenc'eeeeking to escrude or preseri6e any One, because of his birth-place or religion, but all—all 'olfied inpledgeing their livesefor tunes, and creel honors, in support of the Bbe iti es of - maize. . l a I cannot therefore, without becoming re creant to the principles and purposes of our . forefathers e ljoin with you in proscribing men because of tleir birth plaCe, or in depriving` theta of any of those invaluable rights that it was the &Inge of those sages they should en joyjoy ~i • : ---- But there 123 another, equally powerful rea r son why I annot join your association. Re cent events -have .shown ,that the party of which it' fo s a part, would 'be a very dart gerous one • to:entrust with power. In ours, above all other countries, should the law and \ the law' pr 4 reign supreme. No outrage, however grie,m, Wbether committed on a single individual or by_st body of them, can under any eircunistanc.es justify or excuse a resort to mob viOtace on the part of those injured, to redrew Oar grievances or avenge their wrongs; r the, party that resorts to, such `means is *tirely unfit' tohave power in ..a re imblicom.ccruntry, and in my bumble judg =Mt no iatace-loving, orderly citizen, can coosistetrtlybecomeauached wit.
