Does tie gentleman know what transpired in that city at the election? Does he know the conduct of the United Statescommissioner? That superserviceable official has called in question the naturalization of over fifty thousand people. male and female. naturalized from 1853 to 1868. By raising a question as to the naturalization of certain persons during these fifteen years he has put in jeopardy estates which passed through the phases of acquirement. escheatmnet. &c.. during that time. to say nothing of that high estate of the American citizenadopted or not--tbe right of suffrage. in regard to which your President has said in his message just read that in this country it is the right of every citizen to cast an honest vote and to have his vote counted honestly! There may have been irregularities South. there may hate been tissue ballots placed in some boxes. as I see it alleged. But when gentlemen make a point of that kind. as no doubt the President in his message meant to do. they fail to remember that the navyyards. run under radical supervision. (which the gentleman from Maine knows all about.) ran. not very recently. the "tapeworm" ticket in California. a foot long and an inch wide.
