With reference to their opinions upon tie
Repeal of the Naturalization Laws, individ-
uas may generally be divided into three elias
ses. The avowed advocates 1.-the measure,
It's avowed opponents, aud those who rank
themselves on neither side. That the active
members of the Repa Party far outnumber,
and surpass in effective influence, their avow-
ed and active opponents, is unquestioned, or,
at least aaquestionable. The third, or
neutral, and for the present indifferent party,
outnumber both.
Now let us take reasonable view Of the
changes which in the natural course Of things
may be expected to occur in the relative posi-
ton of these three classes. The effective
superiority Of the Repeal Party over their
professcd enemies, is to an incalcnlable de-
gree enhanced by the fact, that they are en-
bodied and organized. Our enemies act sep
arately and without organization; and we
venture to predict that they will continue so
to do. We dare them to organize, to make
the true issue with us. We know, however,
that they will not. The moment that it were
done, would be the moment Of our success.
Now apart from the consideration Of the
merits of our cause. admitting for the time,

balanced ; what we ask is the result that may
reasonably be inferred from our position and
efforts, and those Of our opponents. Our
numbers, we admit, are not now sufficiently
numerous, though far surprising those of our
open and avowed opponents, to effect Re-
peal of the Naturalization Laws through the
Ballot Box. To accomplish this, the large
class of those now neutral or Indifferent mus,
be wrought upon, and from their ranks acces-
sions to ours must be drawn. Upon this
class, how much more effective must be our
efforts, than those Of our opponents. We
are already large and certainly highly res
pectable body, well organized, with Associa-
tons and Journals devoted to our principles
springing up North, East and West, and
above all, composed Of Native American citi
zens! They, on the contrary, comparative
ly few in numbers, without organization, the
few papers that support them being alien III
their entire spirit, and their ranks filled with
foreigners and ephemeral demagogues! Be
tween two such parties contendng for the
mastery, does it require prophets vision to
foresee the result?
And why is it that so many still stand
neutral and hesitate to assume a decided po-
silion? Daily we hear them saying, 1--WE
admit the force Of your arguments, we are
aware of dangerous aggressions constantly
made by foreign influence. But wait--wa
for few short months, and then we will
join YOU heart and hand, and ensure your
triumph" Why then should we be discour.
aged? Discouraged! away with the pusillan
nous throught! Cleary do we see the com

REPEAL OF THE NATuRALIzTIoN Laws will
be one Of the leading questions at the balIo
box and on the floor Of Congress. Let the
question be made, the issue joined and we
feel no apprehension of the result.-Neu

The settlement Of Texas by emigration
from the United STATES, and the settlement Of
the Taiey Of the Mississippi BY Immigrants
from Europe. "
The United States have been sending out
from among their hardest, their best, and
most intelligent population, the materials that
have formed new and gallant Republic on
territory wrested from Mexican despotism.
By whom have the places, once occupied by
these bold advanturers Of whom we have been
deprived--by whom have their places been
filed BY the subjects Of European mon
archs. What subject for serious and ,Don-
dcring contemplation to the rejecting, fore
seeing mind Will the eagle Of American
Liberty be forced to withdraw his outs'retcEl-
cd wing from above he starry constellation
that now gitiers on the banner Of the Ameri-
can Union, and wing his free flight still far
ther Westward, until he finds more con-

Why does not European immigration
direct its course to the boundess and fertile
territories Of our, sister Republic of Texas!
The reason is obvious. The perls of new
settlement have to be there encountered !;
Mexican hostility on the one side, and Indian
depreaations on the other, must be first met
and quelled by the descendant of those
dauntless spirits who originally effected the
subjugation and civilization Of this western
continent. When this shall have been ac-
complished, and Texas shall present the
same peaceful security that the United States
now do-when the bones of her gallant sons
have bleached her wild forests and their
blood fertilized her broad praries, then doubt
less will European immigration divide with
them also its many blessings and faUors.-
