NATIVE AMERICANISM AGAINOf ill the ridiculous faction# that ever disgraced Ihii tounirTi «carceJy excepting that of red-mouthed oboli-(jou\*Wi fwe-aoilwm, and the forty other isms that infest,|0d canker, and poison the American body politic, nonebu ever hoisted its hvdrn head among us with more hid* w deformities, with more of the serpent’s venom, than tho Native-American party. 1 And of what is this kcrtff caM ctm,P°sod? What arc its aims—what itsnarpofiCB a,,d objects?\Vshave Hiclit before us. They ate here fully disclosed. \Ve**c in the in the secret causes that contributed to ‘bringaboiii the late mischievous results in Pennsylvania. The Philadelphia (a olive-American] Sun, the organ of that guilty faction whose sharp-set appetites are so ready * fallow up the whole of our foreign settlers at a sin* fl« meal, has opeued up the sceno that exposes their jaked deformity to tho jupt rebuke of an insulted people.This party strenuously claims to have been the very firstto bring forward the \ name of General Taylor for tho praidency, and that of Governor Johnston for the chief mtgiitrato of Pennsylvania. The native Sun boasts Tert vehemently and vociferously on this point The editor *}'*• **The native-American party camo into ex* hieoce but a few years ago, and their power liqs ilrcidy been foil lo tho extremity of the Stateand that ••upon the 7th of November it will be also felt throughout the nation.” ‘‘Their fourteen thousand votes,” continue* thi* unfledged Native Sun, “have already turned the election for Governor in this Commonwealth, o'nd mainly contributed to placo Win. F. Johnston in tho Guber-jiitorial chair.” Tho editor still proceeds, lie has not yet finished bis boastful cry over the late Pennsylvaniadefeat of the Democracy. He comes yet closer to thomain point, and thus exultingly rejoices over the fuel that they “have great reason to be proud of tho result; for flmost,” says the enraptured editor, “almost immediatelyifter tho receipt of the news of the resignation of Govrghunki we suggested the nomination of Mr. Johnston for that office. 1IJLet us examine further. Here again wo have tho fctak avowal of what this nativo party so ardently and warmly claim to have done in effecting the whig Presidential nomination. Stand back, Mr, 13alie Peyton; go into tho corner, Mr. Truman Smith, with your pliant secret circular readers, tools, and followers. Your labors md toils are but a cipher to the great work accomplished bv Lewis C. Levin and his band of natives in the goodly city of “brotherly love.”' Hear the editor of the Native organ: “It is a singular factthat tho same Native American party* which firstigggested, and afterwards triumphantly elected Governor Johnston, first brought forward also to the notico of thopeople* for the high office of PresidtMit of tho UnitedStates, ‘Old Rough and Ready,’ the people’s candidate!” And, % a ^resolution of these same natives, passed at ibcirrecent national convention, the n«?iee* of tho wholepiisa were jnvoked to rally with energy in support of Gen. Taylor; and the Sun, from which we now quote, in tematYing on the Philadelphia selection, says that “that eonrtvtioa adopted their nominee;” and the editor most eiahingly cries out, in view of thcur great victory, “Houj proud a position we already occupy! ” Proud position, truly. 'And it needs only the warm and generous support fifth e foreigners of this country to render it enviable. Uri-der the golden rule we are required to “love our enemies,’’ tad why should not the foreign vote of this asylum of the stressed of all nations be everywhere given to build up this Native American interest and spread abroad its influence over the land?Irishmen, we make an appeal to you.
