from practising this system of falsehood, and jade%
it was Limo for them to do se, fur the events of everfl

predictions of anticipated ruin to the manufacturing

It well known to the public that manyof the Facto

no doubt but they will find it a 'profitable investment of

have with more propriety than he did through the late
contest; eschew lying, avoid slander, reject forgeries,
repudiate the fifteen' whigs, and, above all, give up
that reprehensible notion of distuibing the public
peace by persuading the people to 'fight on—fight

MP It is suggested that all neutralized foreigners
who have taken part with or favor the Native move
ment, should surrender their own papers to prove that
they are actuated by principle, and not by the spirit of!
the 'dog in the manger." By so doing, they will start
fairly with the persons against whom their efforts are
directed. iVhat Pharisaical presumption is it for
Gr'ea't' DAUM and other foreigners who have enjoy
ed the benefiteofour liberal naturalization laws, to say
that their foreign brethren are unworthy the same
rights in which they exult, or to resttiet in the sligbest
sense, the tolerant meesuriss by the operation of which
they have prospered and grown proud !
M iiOWA RD has accepted the w hig nominat ion for
the Mayoralty. In his note of acceptance, Mr H. ex
presses a "distrust in his qualifications for a proper
discharge of the duties of the office." Judging from
what we hear, we have no doubt but a large majority
of the citizens agree with Mr Howard in this impres
sion, and that they will select a person fur the office, cf t
whose qualifications no man tea entertain the slightest I
distrust.
