mildest terms OF reproach.
Our readers must remember an abor-
tive effort that was made in New York,
and Brooklyn. some two or three years
since, to produce sensation in favor
Of the ".NatiDe American Party" 1t
failed most signaly. The high-miaded
citizens ofthese places frowncd down
the project. Su. h injustice would not
be tolerated. The party were bold.
They went for dcpriving even those
who have already secured the right Of
citizens, by terms Of the law, OF the
privilege OF poiing until they had been
81 years resident in that State. This
outrage on vested rights was too glaring
and although Mr.. Mayor CLARK, and
his satellites, did their utmost, the par

This New Orleans Association is an
effort to evive the defunct body in an
other field, where il is hoped the prin-
ciples that animated it will take fir
mer root. The jeaiousy Of the Creoles
is appealed to, and it is thought that
their distrust to the Anglo-Saxon, and
the Milesian races, will water the tree
Of .EiattUe Americanism most effectually.
The Creoles, ns people, have no
great love for what they term the
"Yankees;" and thus the worst posi-
bic passions arc to be made to bear in
favor Of the plans Of the .NatiOe Ameri-
cans--par erceltence.

Before we lay down our pen-re-
GREETING that in the 10Th century, we
have to combat such prejudice--such
littlencss of mind--wc may remark
that the "Address Of the louisiana
Nail0e American Associations" declares
that ''hordes Of foreign mechanics and
artisans" have ''monopolized the whole
mechanical business Of the United
States"-that Ghosts of foreign mer-
chants have obtained the control Of our
banking and commercial business
that every department of Law, Sci
ence, and even Divinity is being rap
pidly overrun by foreigners a
''Iarge majority of the Offices Of trust,
profit, aud honor are occupied by for
cigners"-that the "Prolessors in our
Colleges and Universities are foreign
ers''--and that ''the Press has been al
most absolutely monopolized by for
eigners." The"Addressp says great
deal more which we have not room to
notice: but we may ask If its assertions
are true, should not the American PEG
pie rejoice that the benign influences
Of their hallowed Institutions are able
to attract such an overwhelming array
Of foreign talent to their shores2 For
surely, men who can Gil the stations
which the "Address" assigns them,
could shine in any sphere-and be
come eminent under any government.
Why, ifitis so, our country will soon
do more for literature than did Italy Of
