The utter sbs,rdty of the Wing leaders in perssting

The Democrat it appears, charges the Journal of Com
merce with being an embitered Whig print" which is
inferred from the charge of Loco ocoism made by the
Journal against the Democratic party and the Democrat
recognizes in the Journal the same anti republican
and unjust spirit of persecution and prescription that
which characterized the Wings in the Senate of the Uni
ted States in their ndeatgable exerons to debar honest
and Industrious foreigners of the right of pre- .empon
Supposing the Democrat to be conducted by an Ameri
otherwise would not condescend to notice him for
the reason as have heretofore declared that when
required to contend for native lights against aliens
and foreigners, it must be in another way would ask
him what claim has the foreigner to the right Of pre-
emption' Is il not he have any, by the law: And if
when the law enacted it deemed proper to
grant this right may not the power that made the

right Certainly it may.
We rejoice to see Members in that august body and

different political opinions agree on the subject ofnatiue
rights in contradisnction from foreign privileges, who
have rmness enough to brave and defy foreign influence
when the rights of their conntrymen involved: and
our exalted opinion of their independence and patriotism
is only eqnaed by the ineffable contempt and ndgna

mercenaries &c., confess we do not understands and
this may be- and probably is garbled extract from that
paper. ..
We never heard at any time of Whg leaders "endea-
voring to win foreign mercenaries nor do be-
lieve it, will we believe that any party. as such,
would be guilty of such act whatever individuals Of
any party might be base enough to do
But that which particularly requires to be no.
ced and which deserves the severest in this
matter, is the question which the Democrat complaining
Iy asks"Are to understand that the Wings ofN. York
intend to deprive foreigners of the right Of sufrage
Without designing to this question cherish the
hope that this is the intention of all Native Americans
by whatever party name they may be called: and who
shall prove to be far traitor to his country as to
contend in behalf Of the foreigner, for the right of suf
frage, especially at present exercised, will be the
mark at which the keenest in qnver will BE-
aimed.
We would pull out the vipers tangs," if it shoule
the heat; and he who would not help us de-
serves to receive the disgorged into his own
veins.
