D. 0. DEAR MAR. SAATII : It is very gratifying to me that after our conversation on the subject you should have felt so assured of my friendship for our large foreignborn population as to lead you to advise them that my election to the Presidency would be best for them as well as for* all other citizens who are looking to rescue this Government from privilege and open wide the doors of opportunity in America alike to the worthy immigrants who come here to find larger liberty and to those who were born In America. The Democratic Party could: not without forgetting its very origin advocate an illiberal policy In the matter of immigration. The party may almost be said to have originated! In opposition to the alien and sedition laws by which the Federalist Party sought to all but shut the doors against naturalization and at the same time silence the criticism of our people against their Government. America has always been proud to open her gates to everyone who loved liberty and soughtopportunity. Let me read that again-: America has always been proud to open her gates! to. everyone who loved" liberty and sought opportunity.
