GROLNs.—There is an article in the New York
'Tribune in 'repot to the latetedection, which disgt a-
Aces the columns of
„Oat print—it would in fact, befoul
ifievoltititas of Wise's Courier. However deep may
to theasertification of the editor, it can aura no ex
tease far the atrocious slander and filthy abuse of the
Veutecratic party which he pouts forth in hie jeremiad
4critr the defeat of his party. He. insinuates that the
.election was carried againsttho whigs by the base awl
t hevile, and instances cartaip low haunts in New York,
*stating given deritocratic majorities. These majori
ties rimy meant to some
,hupdreds, and yet the TO,-
tune endeavot s to stigmatise the hundreds of thousands
rho, elected Col. Pott, as sharers in the iniquities of
those he points out. We might retaliate by showing,
from whig authority, where the "debauched" and the
•; immoral and profane" of the country should naturally
bar cast their votes, but it is unnecessary. It is enough
gat the worst and most dangerous man in this country
is &fisted, and that be bad his heaviest support in
'Ailinale Island, that plague spot on the body politic of
shase States.
; 12F . The N Y Tribune lesiva, with much earnest
isette. any union of the whirs and Natives: The Tti.
bane reminds the whip that, in New Yotk and Pent .
sylvania, where they bad en open alliance with the
Naives, they were defeats d—while in Ohio and Ma.
sylind where no union was fcrtned, the whigs were
triumphant. The Tribtine's course is certainly. the
moat politic for the whigs. If they cannot maintain
mhemselyes on the present organization. the Bah of
Nistivism will have no power to vuve them. Whigisnt
bu 1 foothold in parts of the Union where 'Nativism
can never take root. In States . where the whigs can.
succeed, such as Massachusetts; Vermont, Rhode Is
land, &c.they have no need of the aid of a Native or-
II
.canization, while in those States where they wete de.
Muted at the late election, such as New _ York, Penn-
Olvania, Virginia, &c they could nou s be tiiumphant
with all the help Nativism could bring them. And
an amalgamation with Nativism would certainly take
from the whigs both Ohio and Kentrcky.

SIRAN ` T RULE VS."—The whits falk•
st,sid a story thainfiag, bearing the aboveinscription,
..as carried at the hut great procession of theDemoe
wacy-Otibe city of New York. It was promptly and
positively denied at the time, but still the wbigs and
madras adhered to the lie. The following is the denial
ptiblisited by a prominent democrat the day after the
*hinder appeared :
• Deer Sir—Please pronounce the statement made in
-a slanderous vvhig paper of Saturday morning that the.
'Sixth Ward displayed in the procession of Friday
night, a banner bearing these words—“ Amer lean shall
not le over tui"—a lie of the bleakest cast ! Our
. loadin u g banner bore these words, under un American
• eagle—". Fostered under thy wings, we die in thy de
1. (coca." Your', truly,
"AMERICANS SHAN'T RULE US."
This story appears to be still kept up, of the presence
.of a banner, with the above inscription, in the Sixth
'Ward Division of the great Democratic Torch-light
Procession, on the Ist inst. It was promptly Conlra-
Aieted at the time, and was so pr.lpably übsurd that
'nothing but the most besotted pliability could, be
int
-posed upon by it. The true sentiment of the class of
citizens against whom it was intended by this story to
-array the prejudices of Nativism, was rather shown by
the bonnet which they did bear; representing the
American eagle, with the motto, "Sheltered by thy
wiagcsve will die in thy defence." It is likely that
such a banner may have Made its appearance for a
.few minutes at some one point of the procession, tho'
we have yet to beer of tho first democrat who saw it,
•*''and can testify that it did not pass under the eyes of
any of our reporters. If su, it was undoubted
brought into die line by some whig fur the very per
*pose of being thus used in their newspapers to trap
Democratic Native votes—precisely as another whig
tanner about "Polk. Free Trade, Texas and Sla
-wry," was brought in, though the bearer was, before

We have received the returns of the election held
in thiscnonty yesterday, and regret to shy dist the De
mocracy have been most shamefully "used up." Here
tofore the people of this State have been permitted "w
do choir own voting as well as their own fighting." but
yesterday we were htmored with about two hundr o ed
of the whie merchants from Philadelphia, New Yrk
and other cities, with scores of pipe-layer, who swarm
ed around onr polls throughout the whole day. The
whig employers threatened their workmen if they dared
to vote the democratic ticket, they would close their
shops and discharge every man. The manufacturers
thteatened that if this State went for Polk, they would
close all their factories and quit business. The conse
quence was, that many who have acted with the Dem
ocratic party voted the whole, or part of the whip tick
et. The vote cast in this city was 1453, over 100
mare than wes ever cast before, and yet our majority
is only about 30 less than at the Inspectors election of
the Ist of October.

I-spittle of piercing a millstone to see that this is pre
oisely all that is required to cause all the Democrats
already in their ranks, or whom they hope to enlist in
to them, to revolt against the insidious purposes to
which it is designed to put them. These leadets,who
now play off so coyly and shyly from the crushing em
braces of the dying whig party, know full well that
they are sure of the whige at any rate, and only repu
diate the public emalgamatibn as the necessary means
of carrying out the plan of dividing the democratic
party. However, we have no fears of them or from
them. Their principle is utterly un-American, and
hostile to the genius of our country and institutions.—
No strong national party can ever form, and maintain
itself,ou such a narrow, mean, petty and paltry ground
as this. The Evening Post thus well says of them:
"Every party formed, like that of the Nativists, for
the support of a single political measure, is always in
danger of being swallowed up by one or the other of
the two great political parties. It naturally falls in
to the ranks of the party with which it has the great
est affinity. There is nothing. that we can see, in the
way of a union between the whigs and the Nativists.
