By Americans, we mean both na tive and naturalized citizens in the broadest sense. . They. should now organize, and irrespective of party, color, religion or former nationality, demand that .their representatives in congress pas?, and the executive- departments enforce" such laws as will etop further immigration to this countiy of outcasts from the slums and prisons of Europe.
