REPCALICANISM. — The &Torts to organ- IkrltrliPtiYeand iptoleratv party, under the name 4. American ktepublicen., is going on in several of the Mei of our country' , and, owing to the partial dis- faitaab of the Whigs, which will be consequent on ilairdien;., it may have ephemeral strength and int. mtansl. : But we are confident it cannot extend ht.- rod the cities and some of the chief towns—nor can mist foi any cousiderable length of time. Of this the -irieturrof the Native -party in New Orleans fur viishes strong - evidence. There they rose, flourished for a few months, managed to elect a Mayor, (Wm. . . -Fresl4) and - now Nativism in - New Orleans is dead 'Some weeks since, in an article on Nativism, we 'posed its identity with a cardinal principle of the 'Federal pang, which fell with John Adams in 1800. We shoWed that the Alien and Sedition Laws were but the fruits of Nativism triumphant and full blown. And that the only points of difference between the 'Federalists of 1800, nod the American Republicans of 1844, were, that tbo Federalists fixed the period of gstiohation fur the foreigner, before he could be natural-1 ized, atfourterot years—the modern Natives want to I snake it tweets-one. The Federalists affected great fear• lest the irreligious principles of a part of the Trench revolutionists should take root in this country— the Natives have a pretended horror of Catholicism and the Pope of Rome. But we have other and powerful evidence of the identity of the creed of the Ancient Federalists and Modern Natives, in the proceedings of the notorious ly infamous Hartford Convention. These proeeed 4ngs show how directly Nativism has been transmitted down the tide of time, from Federalism of 1800; and 'that it is a bed and dangerous principle, which every .true Dernoonit should repudiate and oppose. liow -could a principle be good that, as in 1800. would lead miessto pass and sustain the infamous Alien and Se dition laws; and, as in 1814, would band them into a -treasonable Association, whose purpose was to stab at 'the very shah of their country, when she was con- Af.nding with a foreign foe—to spread abroad anarchy crud civil strife? The following was laid' down by the Hartford Con aerttion u one of the causes which led to the last war -with Great Britain, which that Convention, as is well ..4coown. opposed and denounced: "Seventh'', The easy admivion of naturalized fo. 'Wirers. Iskpisces of trust, honor or profit, operating as an indocement to the malcontent sfibjects of the old world to come to these states, in quest of excco- Aire pstrooge;snd to repay-it by en abject devotion to estecutive measures." It is worthy of remark that the very next cause of acomplaint against the government a hich these trai tors sought to overthrow, was "Hostility to Great Britain." Thus, the Natives of 1814, at a time when the country was involved in a bloody war with that 'haughty power, denounced those aho manifested 4'Hostility to Great Britain." But here is the argument by, which the Hartford Convention Natives supported their seventh propo. -sition. How similar to some that are tried by the iNatitres of 1894. "That the stock of population already in these , Slated, is amply sufficient to render this nation in duet time sufficietly great, and powerful, is not a contra verrible question.—Nor will it be seriously pretended, that the national deficiency in wisdom, arts, science, anus, otaittne needs to be replenished from foreign -countries. Still, it is agreed, that a Pheral policy should offer the rites of hospitality. and the obi of settlement, to those who are disposed to visit the emir -try. But why admit to a participation in the govern *vont, aliens who were no patties in the compact— sktro are ignorant of the nature of our institutions and -hike no stake in the welfare of oar country, but a hat is recent and transitory! It is surely a privilege suffi '<lent to admit them after due pt obat ion to become cit. izens. for all but political purposes.—To extend it be yond those limits, is to encourage forrigners.to come .to these stone as candidates for preferment. The i , conventicin forbear to express their opinion upon the inauspicious effi..c s which have already resulted iodic •honor and peace of this nation, front this misplaced . ..and indiscriminate liberality." The result of the deliberations of the liartfut d Con. Ntntion on the subject of admitting foreigners to the rights of native eitiz.ns, is set forth in the following resolution, which must have been the model for a por eion of the modern programme of Native principles: "Sixth. No person who shall be herdafler nntural ized, shall be eligible as a member of the Senate or 'Mouse of Representatives of the United States, nor • capable of holding any civil office under the authority -of the United States. -Could any stronger proof that Federalism and Nu livism are identical be required ? And can any demo crat hesitate to oppose this newly vamped scheme of Atbe enemies of his principles, by which the whigs now 29t0 accomplish their overthrow 1 We are confi o ant every Jeffersoainn Democrat will answer, No. 1 The threats of persecution uttered by some 'whig manufacturers against all their workmen who voted the democratic ticket are very silly, and if put into effect, might be somewhat dangerous to their own • interests. They know, or ought to know, that the 41emocrata form a majority of the consumers in zountry, and that it would not be wise for any class •of manufacturers or business men to odopt a course Abut will compel the democratic purchasers to combine against them in selfdefence. If democratic workmen .are to be proscribed for opinion's sake, democratic pumtrasers will be apt to ovoid dealing with those who ;practise such pitiful tyranny, and leave their money -with men who have more correct notions of the pri •vileges of American citizens. We would advise the , wbig manufacturers not to begin this genie or they may 'find in the enil that they can be reached by the same system. rAey are more dependent upon the public • than their workmen aro on them, and the injury that they might inflict upon those in their employ by dire • obargingthem ferreting as their own preferences die. • tated, would be visited upon them ten-fold by an honest public that isalways prompt to rebuke such heartless - .attempts at oppression. 4f any democratic workman -should be discharged for his politicol opinions, he hasl •ouly to let the fact be known, to have the petty tyrant punished for his proscriptivearrogance, by,thecondem nation of every bonen man of all parties.

If any one can read the following seasonable article from to-day's number of "Meal's Saturday Gazette." without a leiattreideshaking, we can only say that he is less easily moved than we thought he was: "Belling Hale—ln a reeent number, we bed oc caeien to speak of the multitudinous uses to which the but is converted, in this enterprising , utilitarian and extensive country, where even a man's beaver can claim no exemptionfrom toil, but is condemned to do all warts of overwork, rendering the article a means of transporting goods, as well as a place of storage for such odds, and ends as are likely to come in piny du ring the day's progress. Ask a child for any thing and he forthwith takes off his hat to find it; and the child, as Wordsworth has it, is, in this respect us in others, "father to the man." Bat in additiOn to these servi ces on the part of the hat—Gesler was not en unrea sonable, then, in requiring homage to be paid to so woeful a member of society—besides being employed as a receptacle fur segurs, newspapers, collars, apples, groundnuts, unpaid bills, and ao forth—besides being a means of salutation and a method of giving emplsasis to a hurrab--the hat bas one purpose more, Which was omitted. strangely enough, too, at the present moment, when the fact is so continually in evidence; and we, therefore, hasten to correct the error. ~The hat may be regarded as a test of sincerity in assertion, and as the clincher to an argument. If a man 'will not be convinced by wordsolutt he is wrong—lf be is obstinate and will not defer to your opinions—what's the 1160 of disputing any longer?—Bet him a hat.— "Pooht--nonsonse—why, how yuu talk-1 . 11 bet you a hat;" which, being done, the heat of controversy is at once abated. The bat comes down upon the flame of discord like an extinguisher to the rushlight. If he is unwilling to bet hat, it is the immediate h fer ence that her dreads losing a hat, and has no faith in his own positions. If he does het a hat, there is, for the present, nothing mutt to be said. The hat is a peace maker.

The bat, then, is a new principle in the contention of men, acting as a sedative; and as of latter years,the violence which formerly marked elections, has to a very considetable. extent, disappeared, the fact is possibly to be ittrileited to the growing fondness of ' betting hats.

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE In Philadelphia, on Wednesday morning, the body of an elderly woman, named Helen M Cornwall, re citing in ti;e third story room tit' the house of Mr. Pat rick, in Prince street, was found deed, under circum stances winch lead to the conclusion that she put an end to her owe existence.

This led Mr Patrick to suspect that all was not tight, so, after applying to the Mayor, be broke open the door, but he found everything in proper or der, and in a few days she returned.

The former consists of 189 acres I R 36 P (strict) the old family Mansion of Woodville farm, with the out houses, three tenements, mill house, distillery, barn, stable, a good orchard. &c., the price of which is fourteen thousand donne'. The mill house, distillery and other buildings ad joining, with the !Mee tenement houses on this and' one ou the other farm might be made with an expen diture of not exceeding fifteen MuLtred dollars to ans wer the purpose for some years, perhaps until the pur chase money is paid. The latter consists of 206 acres more or less, with wsitudl tenement house and berm an orchard, Stn., the price of which is ten thousand dollars, both forms have an abundance of coal and lime stems, and are suf ficient well watered. Taken together the committee are of opinion that they are the most eligible offered, and that there is no other aupetior in the country fo r the purpose. The persons offering them are willing to take such payments and securities as the Overseers can give. The committee would therefore recommend to Councils to adopt the following: Resolved, That the Select and Common Councils do hereby advise the guardians of the poor of the city of Pittsburgh with the standing committee on city farm, to purchase of John F Wrensball and wife and Wm Ebbs as agent of A L Cowan, the respective farms offered by them to the Overseers of the Poor.' In reference to the ten acres in Allegheny city occu pied by the present poor borne, the committee are of opinion that it may be subdivided into - front 1W to 140 building lots of the usual size, and it is probable they would sell on time for an amount at least equal to rho purchase money of the farms, they would therefore submit the following : Resolved, That the guardians of the poor, with thestanding commute of Comicile, be required to sub mit to Councils fur their approval a subdivisioe of the ten Sete. in Allegheny city, so that if approved, Coun cils may console. to the sale thereof agreeably to act of assembly Lightly they'll talk of the spirit' that's gone, And o'er Ms cold *ahem upbraid him, Bet he'll never wake, if they let him sleep en.

A LOVE CHASE The Portland Argns of Tuesday gives an interesting account of a love affair which happened in that city recently, and which should be extensively circulated for the benefit of young marriageable damsels who are prone to fall in love at first sight. It appears that a stranger who went to Portland un business fell in with a pretty, inexperienced girl, and after a few inter views promised her marriage, and they agreed to start for Boston in the afternoon train ushave the knot tied. In the mean time the mother of the girl got an inkling of what was going on, and she went to the can to re strain her roving daughter from throwing herself into the arms of a comparitive stranger. The second Act opens at the depot, with the train ■bout to start. The mother had entered the cars and confronted her danghter and her lover, by turns entrea ting one to return home with her, and upbraiding the other for 'stealing away an old woman's -daughter.' The daughter would not heed her entreaties and tears. The lover was cold and indifferent to her threats. She told him he was a married man and uril riaeipled —and bade him beware of retribtr ion. To her daugh ter she appealed, that she might return with her, and make home'glad, which was now desolate. The pas sengers' feelings were manifestly on the side of the mother—but her appeals coubl not draw her daughter out of this cant. Meanwhile time flew, and the momenta of departure came. Thantoriser was still beseeching—the daugh ter panting—the lover frowning—when dame For tune for once helper.' the matron and disappointed the maid. The conductor inquired if the girl had a fiat*? She had not—and, as the rule requires pas sengers to be so provided, she was advised to step to the office to obta'n . one.
