n:c uu tiiod oi'Acurfare yriuu.jV alj its force
to bear upon a single pofnt.'. The enemy to be"
overwhelmed is the new opinivii ccmmonly
designated "Know Nothing.". Setting out
with the assumption that a coalition exists be-j
tween thlsoprnion and the whigs, the ceni
imUee charges the coalition wifh having "es
poused the doct :ine ofpiosaip, ion against all
citizens not native barn vf. whatever religious
faith ;" and with being in "close alliance- with,
a secret and oath-bound association which pro
poses to punish men fur conscithte sake."
We propose to consider these charges in
their' order.1, ' ' " "
1. Is' it proposed by. airy- one to proscribe
nattirtlized citizens ? Certainly, no body of
men has proposed to deprive that class of the
elective franchise ; or to expell them from the
Sates ; .or to exclude their children from the
schools ; or to tax them more heavily ; or to
prevent them from entering the professions or
acquiring real estate ; or to impose on them a
ny burdens not borne by their fellow-citizens.
: What then does .the Hemocratic Committee
mean when it talks of "proscription," and of
taking "from citizens the civil rights which
they have acquired under the constitution ?"
We shall let it answer. ' .
, "It is an attempt (says ti e committee) to
settle a policy not recognized in any law of
this country, that hereafter no man born out
of the country, shall hold a civil office under
the government." If this means any thing, it
is that the right acquired by a naturalized for
eigner it the right to hold office. We are incli
ned to think that tins right depends on the pri
or rights of the people, to elect whom they
choose. A newly made citizen has the right to
hold office, if he can get it ; and not without it.
The democratic committee assumes that if
a foreigner is a candidate, voters have nothing
else for it, but to put his name on their ballots,
under penalty of high treason to the constitu
tion. But the committee fails to point out the
clause in that instrument which secures to fo
reigners the offices of the country. Its Avhole
reasoning on this point is wretched sophistry,
addressed to the feelings of the class most in
terested and the scruples of the conscientious'
ignorant. The cry of proscription raised by
a defeated candidate is ridiculous. The ma
jority wili vote for its own men, and if a can
didates happens "to be of the majority, so
much the better for him.
But it is said that a natuaaHzcd foreigner
may be of good character, effective abiities,
thorough education, numerous virtues. patriot
ic sentiments; orthodox religion, &c, &c; and
that none of these things will avail him, that
"the standard of capacity and honesty is to be
overlooked, and the circumstance of birth
and birth alone, must decide who shall till the
offices of the government. Mcst true there
are exceptional cases under this general rule
as under every other. If Kossuth were a
candidate he would be beaten by any Brown or
Smith. It is a hard case, you say that the"
accident of birth should defeat Kossuth. So,
also it seems hard that he who comes of age the
day after an election cannot vote; he must wait
a year, because by an "accident of birth," he
is not a day oMlt.
The true inquiry is whether the general rule
is in the main reasonable. If the political con
dition of the country is such that the elpction
of any man of a certain class would be taken
as an indorsement of certain improper move,
ments on the part of that class, it would be a
patriotic duty to vote for his opponent. Thou
sands of our citizens voted for Mayor Conrad,
because the election oi" Mr. Vaux would have
been regarded as a a triumph of a corrupt ad
ministration. Every member of the Central
Committee may be conscious that Judge Pol
lock is better qualified for governorship than
his opponent, jet every one of them will
"proscribe" him because they think it impor
tant that the party roprosepted by the Judge
shall not gein the ascendancy in the state. For
similar reasons, Americans may decline, in the
present condition of the country, voting for a
ny foreigner. And this without any hate to
loreigners as such, but from a sense of patri
otic obligation to break up the dangerous com
bination existing in that class to support their
own men for office. We allude to facts well
kno n. There is not a member of the demo
cratic parly who is not aware that his party is
now dictated to by its naturalized members,
who, as the price of their support, dc-mand an
enormous share of the spoils. There is not a
politiican who does not know that ' wherever
the democratic party has acquired the majori
ty -in a northern state, it has been by a coali
tion with the compact foreign forces, moving
under the generalship of bishops and priests.
The only effectual method of breaking up this
coalition, is for every good citizen to vote so
as to deprive the foreign clique of the advan
tages promised it by a bargaining in politics.
'2. The charge of j-uuishiuz men for conscience
sake is brought against the new movement. In
all the general declamation of the address on
the subject of the right of every man to enjoy
his religious views without molestiion, every
good citizen will heartily concur. Who does
not regret the excesses committed by the fanat
ical and the ignorant on both sides the insults
to the American (lag, the assaults on persons
wearing white felt hat Sj the attacks on Ameri
can processions, the blowing up cf churches,
and the riots between Prctcstant3 and Catho
lics It is these very excesses which every
good citizen wishes to avoid, while he would
leave every one t he "right to consvlt his own
conscience in matters of religion." But no cit
izen has a right, under pretext of conscience,
to menace his fellows. A Mormon saint should
refrain from parading his religious seraglio in
the streets of onr large cities; a South Sea
Islander would hove no right to kill and eat
his enemies on one of our public square's in ho
nor of his god ; a Hindoo woman should not
complain that her rights cf conscience were
trampled upon if restrained from pitching her
child into the Delaware as a sacrifice ; nor
should a Catholic or other bishop,twhen he
endeovors to get into his sole control all the
property of the churches of his sect, to exert
a gigantic moneyed and real estate power in
onr midst, to split into fragments the school
system of the state by dividing the school fund
and to control the actronof tho state, are met
with a stern and unyielding resistance. If
Bishop Kendrick wishes to worsip the Virgin
Mary and the saints, that is his business; if
Bishop Kendrick wishes to own every church
in the east end of thr state as trustee of an Ita
lian princeling, that is quite a diil'erent affair,
and one on which cant is out of place. When
the Pennsylvania railroad company wished to
own more real estate than was thought safe,to
leave in its.handsthc state interposed its veto
Bishop Kendrick may well bo restrained in the
same manner. A bishop has no more right to
have a conscience as to tho quantity of realms
tate ho shall own than'the- President of a rail
road ; and a law which should forbid anv indi
vidual to act as trustee for more than one reli
gious congregation, and forbidding any con
gregation to own any real estate, eiecyl ike
parsonage church and cemetry, would not bo
justly chargeable with infringing upon any
rights of conscience. : ' - - . r '-.
Of that part of the address vhich is devof
ted to. the peculiarities of the secret associa
tion, known as "Know Nothings." we have no
thing to say. We are not members, nor can
we judge of its principles except by its action;
Up to this time, it seems to have acted dis
rrfptlr. There is one cla-s of secret political
I association? which are highly censurable : w
refer to those whose object it is to promote the
claims of its members to office without refer
ence to-principle. To this class belongs the
notorious association of some forty or fifty De
mocrats, 'The Miami Tribe,' which. figured at
Cincinnati some yeaisagoand which has con
trived to monopolize the offices and control
the party. When we have any evidence that
the present association is pursuing the same
course wc shall not hesitate to denounce it.
A's a whole, the democratic address may be
pronounced a wordy, ad-capUmdum and incon
clusive document.-PAjiad. Register. '.. r
" ' . Native Amcricanit m Ligsussed. '
' Political Native Americanism, since the ad
vent of the Now-Noth.ing orgauization is being
fully discussed by the leading journals of the
country and recently .grave and potent Sena
tors at Washington have given the subject con
siderable attention as evidenced in the debate
on the Homestead bill. Iu the course of this
debate ; Mr. Dodge, Senator from Iowa, repea
ted the calumny that the Philanelphia riots of
1844 were begun by Native americans, to which
the Sun rejoins as follows:
"A peaceful assemblage of citizens,lawfully
collected and engaged in the expression and
defence of principals dear to evry-republican
heart, were ruthlessly assailed by Irish Cath
olics, with fire anus and" other murderous im
plements. The attack was premeditated; for
houses had been loop-holed; muskets plenti
fully provided, and ambuscades prepared from
which to deal out their deadly volly. There
had never been a suspicion of violence enter
tained by the American citizens, and conse
quently they were defenceless when attacked.
But the provocation was maddening. A mee
ting was called for the next day in the State
House yard, to vindicate the rights guaran
teed ' by the Constitution of the freedom of
speech, and of peaceably assembling."
The Daily Register, a neutral paper and con
ducted with marked ability, commenting on
the above paragraph, says: '
. "Our neighbour is, no doubt, correct in his
facts. But one thiitg is certain; the riots of
1844 were one of the prominent causes of the
re-action against Native Americanism which
robbed it of all moral power, left it a feeble
prey to the scheems of a few corrupt and de
signing men, and drove it into the extremes
of sectarianism and proscription. It is now
the object of the prsent party, some intrigue
ing Democratic polititians,and various traitors
among the Native Americans themselves, to
push them into riotous excesses, with the in
tention to destroy their influence by the re
action of public sentiment. In this plot we
trust they will be foiled by the judgement and
steady good sense of those who direct what is
called the Know-Nothing movement. The
American people will support a judicious
movement to break up the political cliques of
naturalized citizens, prevent the monopoly of
renl estate by eclesiastical corporations, and
secure tli-? blessings of a common school edu
cation to all; but they will not sustain riot,
arson, proscription, hate and sectariaisni."
It is very evident the principles and objects
cf the Native American organization has spread
.sufficiently wide to attract general attention
throughout the Union, uprooting as if by ma
gic, the force of old partizenship and scatter
ing in onr principal cities and towns all opo-sition-
From the signs of the times the ele
ment wili enter largely into the next Guberna
tural contest, and if successful, which is more
than probable, will roll up its sleeves, flushed
with victory, for the Presidential contest.

The Pate of Kaasas.
The emigrants are pouring into the tc-rritary
in greate numbers; but according to the laws
of the United States, or rather the treaties of
the government with the ludians, they are not
permitted to remain there. The Indian title
to the. lands is not yet extinguished, and when
our friend left Fort Leavenworth, the U. S.
Marshal was engaged with a posse driving the
squatters' and emigrants out of the territory.
Many, however, wore pushing onward beyond
the Fort to the borders of the great plains,
where t!.i'y hoped to be beyond the reach of
the Marshal. The country is not yet open to
settlement, and cannot be urttill the Indian
title is extinguished. This will no doubt be
effected as rapidly as possible; but the philan
thropist will ask, where can the poor Indian
go? That question suggests sad and solemn
reflections. Let us hope that many of Ihcni
will become civilized aud eijoy with us the
blessings of liberty.
The course which the officers of tho govern
ment feel bound to pursue, i-i producing much
ill feeling -among the emigrants. They are
hardy and enterprising, and seem determined
each for himself, to pre-ocupy a large slice of
this new and valuable territory. Desperate
efforts are being made by the Missourians to
induce slaveholders to go there, but the bal
ance of the feeling is against it. Many of
the most intelligent slaveholders admit there
is no chance for them. This should not lull
our northern people for a single moment, and
they certainly should not be detereel by the
blustering of the Misourians from going there.
Chicago Democratic Press.
Queer Brood of CuiCKF.xs.-Schcpard Cary,
in his speech at Bangor, said : "In politics he
had always been a ground-tier democrat of the
old school, and was not aware that he had
changed his opinions. But the old political
parlies were now entirely dissolved, if not
completely demoralized. Isms of various
kinds had drawn oif a majority from both or
ganizations. The democratic party was like
an old goose, that was foolish enough to let
anybody that came along thrust any and all
kinds of eggs under her, and shove her own
out in thecold. Consequently, the democrat
ic party had cf late hatched out all sorts of
broods queer kind of chickens peacocks,
ducks, aud fighting cocks some taking to the
water and some to the land and altogether
too unmanageable for the old lady to take care
of. For himself, he thought it was time to
seperate.
The Locofoco Address. We are informed
that the second address of the Locofoco State
Committee, whicJi strongly endorsed Nebraska,
was presented to Gov. Bigler for his inspec
tion, and that the Governor modified it very
materially, and sent out an agent to submit it
to the leading Free Soilers in . AVitmot's dis
trict, and ascertain whether the address, as
amended, woflld meet their approbation.
Gov.-Bigler is the veriest coward in politics
that ever filled the Executive chair. If he
lias any opinions of his own he is afraid to ex
press them, without first torturing them Into
such a variety of shapes that it is impossible
to tell what they are. When the agent re
turns, we persume the precious document, as
amended by his Excelcncy, will be given to
the public ! We are anxious to see the defor

After a short, but painful illness, this little one
has been taken, in all the bloom of innocence to
rest in the bosom of its Father. Her sorrowing
parents have the bright consolation that she has
been sx,ared the turmoil, trials, and dangers in the
thorny pathway of life, and that she now tunca her
cherubic harp in the pearly mansions of the Better
Land. How few among us do not wi.-h that we.
too. had been' removed, ere sin, sorrow, or care
darkened the horizon of life?
Then who shall grieve for thee, a young flower
