with very little attention. Such party necessarily ex-
lists, Tor It's foundation is in the constitution OF human
nature. Every man loves power, and IS continually
surviving 10 obtain It, Some seek II over all, and Will
yeid 10 none but such gigantic spirits, the Cesars
ana Napoeons OF their respective ages, are rare The
majority are content to seek it over part, and, In
order to obtain it, very readily submit To the other
part Upon this foundation is built party in this
country, who continually seek dominion II existed
during the revolution, exhibited itself IN the conven-
llon that devised the Federal Constitution, and has
since appeared in all political action. In the re-
volutlon some politicians eontendcd Tor independence
but not Tor liberty They sought separation from the
mother country, not because they wished 1t to be
Tree, but because they wished TO be its masters.
The tories opposed the separation, because they wish
ed to rule through the agency of the mother country
In the convention, the first of these parties conended
hrst Tor monarchy, something resembling one; and
secondly, for consolidated and highly aristocratic
republic The second party could not appear ~ the
convention; but returning after the revolutionary
war, tney nave ever since been active IN our national
poltcs, and were particularly during the last war;
The hrst OF these paes after numerous defeats, are
convinced that 1t cahnot rule the country without
ioregn aid and the second adhees to It's old allegiance
to 1oreign country. Hence they now unied and
pursue the same object through the same means, a
change OF our institutions through the agency Of Great
Britain This party therefore consists OF old tories
and their descendants, and of those who seek the rule
OF the country, who would perpetuae that rule by
changing its Institutions and who perceive in sub
Jectlng It's commerce, manufacturers, and financial
affairs to England, the readiest means of attaining
| their ehject.
The portion ofthe press directly subservicnt TO this
party is to be found in cities and of all city
presses, the bodest, most direct, least disguised in
attachment to foreign interest is to be found in New
! lork. This is easily explained. New York is the
great emporium of our import trade and large pof-
on OF this trade is in the hands Of foreigners, subjects
to the British Government. That city contains more
aliens than all the other cities in the Union, and of
these, large body are not only British subjects, but
engaged in commercial operations. They therefore
exercise no nconsderable influence the press in
New York, for subscribers and advertisers, they
furnish 1t with considerable, and in some instances,
the greater portion of its patronage. Nor is this all
Several of these presses edited by Englishmen
who are not only British Subjects but Of the srctes
sect OF tory poli,ics. In press constituted, we
should naturally expect to find frequent detences Of
British opinions, euloges Of what democratic repub
cans would consider The most eNceponable of British
institutions, and opposition to country and its
government, In all its disputes with foreign nations.
PENNSYLVANIA NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
/ From the Reformer
We present the reader with the remarks of Mr.. Ste
vens, in the convention of Pennsylvania, on the right
Of petition Had he confined himself to The subject in
its local bearing-n its municipal aspect no could
rightfuy have complained. But he chooses to depart
from the question: as it affected the rights of his
:. 'scoored BRETHREN citizens of PenDsy vana, and in
dulge in wholesome denunciaton of the entire South
eIn people. They will read his miserable jargon with
the contempt and deestation which it justly merits
What care the people of the South for the silly IL
rades Of such fellows as Stevens? A mad-house for
such Bedlamites-or Bridewell for such atrocous
| agita,ors. We scorn his fretfu and most lagtous
calumnies. Messrs. Brown, Porter, aud Biddle, as
the reader will see, branded them with alsehood upon
the spot.
There is bnt one point of view in which we choose
to consider these remarks Of the fanatic Stevens. In
one part of his contemplate TRADE he observes
1T will be strange, indeed, if there is any son Of
I" Ireland here, who, after having obtained his own
emancipation by the abandonment of his country,
6 will take the part of the STAKEHOLDER against
1 6 freemen How many of the gallant Of Erin
have left their own country because of its oppres
sions! And shall they come here as the advocates
6 of tyranny? Who the accursed descendants OF
6 Cain! and whether they were black or white, it was
!" not for him to detemine-the domestic slavery Of
this country the most disgraceful institution that
+" the world ever winessed--under any form Of gov
''ernment-in any age.''
i The vile object of this fagous appeal cannot be
misunderstood. 10 rail- the great mass of foreigners
who are, in the main, totally ignorant of our nstitu
tions-and who, from benefcent, but most unwse
policy have been allowed te WELD the influence of the
ballot box, and, through that to inlse foreign
spirit In institutions, against domestic policy of
the southern States is the open the undisguised pur
| pose of this incendiary etator. No man can doubt
this, nor hesitate in opinion to its tendency. The
Royal Leg ion in Philadelphia, which was so prompt
W urn 1W eTtHp 10 execute "VuerS,s Will,
doubt, be equally prompt in this black crusade
And shall we sit quiet while these things pass
ing before eyes? Shall foreigners be organized
and armed with the power of overthrowng our inst-
tuons, and carrying civil war; devastation, and blood
over one half of the Union! We trust not. We trust
that Niue americans, adopting the example set in this
city, and elsewhere will rally man. and demand
a repeal of the naturalization law. Every day shows
the necessity of united and prompt action. Europe is
empylng her asyums, and shores daily crowd
ed with foreign emigrants. Give them the advantages
of refuge, bnt right to control free institutions
II would be dangerous to them and to Let their
children grow up amongst us, and become identified
with Us in feeling and principle and thus ente them
selves to all the privileges Of citizenship But let us
cautiously guard against the dangers of foreign dca-
ton. The naturalization law must be repealed; and
native Americans ought demand it at the next ses-
sion of Congress. Then will Mr.. Stevens, and the
men Of his caste, cease TO Let the South look to
| this matter Immediately.
"fhe State constitution, said Mr.. Stevens reserves
g the right Of petition to c5ens and if colored men
:. not citizens, then they have the right the fur
g ther ground, which has been assumed by the gen.
tleman that subjects may petition to those who are
g placed over them. Have the blacks right to pc
