We are requested to acknowledge the receipt
of a letter, addressed to our Ex-Presdent, Mr..
II. M. MoRr1T, from New Orleans, containing
the names Of seventy new subscribers to our
paper. ;.
This is the cause of every man who loves his
own land and countrymen in preference to the
land and subjects of other nations; and we hope
the spirit that animates our friend M OF Loul-
sana, will inspire others of our people to oestlr
themselves in this behalf and to send us the num-
incnts Of strength to continue our labors.
like spirit animates our friend J. r., OF ST.
Louis. Mo-, whose letter of the 22d ult we have
the pleasure TO acknowledge, containing Slo lor
four new subscribers. The paper complained
of by 7. R. as not received, is regularly mailed
with the others for St. Louis; and there beng
no other complaint, the presumption is that some
person takes an improper liberty with that copy

A FOREIGN CITY.

1t is stated in New York paper that the num-
Der of foreigners in that city is about seventy
If two or three thousand be the majority Of
either party among the Americans, whether Wings
or Democrats, how easy is it for this foreign null
titue to control an election in favor of either side
as they. may please. Verify the government Of
the State, and indeed Of the nation, is in the
hands of the Philistines.
Parties, as such, in New York and other pa,
ces, similarly situated, fear to come out boldly in
opposition to foreign influence; this shows the
absolute necessity on the part Of those differently
circumstanced, of attending to this important con-
cern, which requires no sacrifice of popularity.

We insert to-day another communication from
our talented frend of Louisiana, under the sig
nature of "A Democat," which we commend to
the pcrusal of our patrons. In it he urges what
the most of the native Americans throughout the
country, who have taken an open part in the ques-
ton, advocate, and which forms material object
in the Association in this city, and that is an en-
tire and unconditional repeal Of the laws and all
the laws of naturalization. We believe the line
of demarcation is rrevocably drawn in feeling be-
tween natives and foreigners, and henceorth no
man, or set Of men, of our own land will look
with complacency at the enjoyment OF. political
rights, or the honors and confidence Of office,
by any save those who are naturally part and
parcel of the soil, and owe, through the religion
of nature an nalienable allegiance to its inter.
ess, its institutions and people. The more this
subject is examined the stronger are the ties of
our own countrymen felt for one another, and the
stronger are our preudces to the alien, and their
prostuted allies among the natives. The two
races must henceforth live apart in feeling, and
he present generation submit to the curse of this
lscordant mixture, in. the hope and confidence
that patriotism and expediency united will, i'll the
repeal of unnatural laws, restore the homogenity
which nature and political security demand.

we know it is natural, nor do IRE condemn the
disposition; but that it is perfectly compatible
with n true depofion to the land in which they

any tolerable knowledge of human nature will be-

any one attempt to obscure the sun, i'll his meri-
dian splendor, with his hat, as to convince the
world that this assertion is true. For how can a
man be convinced of the truth of proposition
which he finds refuted by the innate principles Of

torest to the Native American. ltls one OF those
rare instances in which the effect OF our broad and

striking illustration of the clanish spirit, inherent
and nalienabe i'll the cmgrants, but also noble
example of the strength and vigor OF the lnstltu-
