@e Most disgraceiul scenes, by both
political parties, to the peace of society,
and to the honor Of our country, have
taken place in the city of New York The
whole is caused by the avenues to corrup-
ton which are inviting demagogues to
perform scenes at our ballot boxes, with
foreign machinery and outcasts of our
own country that would make honesty
shudder. If for no other reason, this
should be argument enough for every pa
triot, to lay hold of our cause, and raise it
at once TO the pinnacle Of our country, as
arallying point for all its friends, against
corruption, and false pretenders to liberty.
Until our cause is made the common
cause of the Union, frauds, and perhaps
disunion, will threaten us on every side.

ON PRESCRIPTION.
EcoNTINUED.1

There is another kind of prescription
which meets with our unqualified appro-
baton; and we trust that the time is not
far distant, when it will be universally
adopted. We mean the prescription of
Foreigners from Office. We care not from
what land he may have come; we care
not what talents he may possess; we dis
regard what wealth he may have brought
amongst us he should not hold an office
under our Government, ohile a Mative of
oar land seeks 1t. In the first place, the
Foreigner has no right to it. In the Sc
cond place, it is the right of the Native.
To refuse then the first, is to deprive hin,
Of no right; while to bestow it on him, is
an act Of injustice to the second.
The display which is often made about
philantrophy and benevolence, is the mere
verbiage Of the day, and is but part of
that system of modern philosophy which
is waging an interminable warfare against
all that is sacred in Religion, and all that af-
fords security to life and liberty, property
and character. We know that pllilantro-
lphy and benevolence are virtues, and
should be practised by nations as well as
individuals. To clotIe the naked, and to
feed the hungry, are precepts of obliga-
ton; and wo be to the man who can, and
does not perform them. To the Foreign
er, therefore, who comes to our sho ore in
want, the hand OF kindness and charity
should be extended. If hungry, we should
feed him if naked, we should clothe him
In him, we behold the image of that God,
who the Father of us all, and for which
a Saviour died /; but, these duties no more
imply the obligation of conferring on him
the right of suffrage, or bestowing on him
the Offices of our Government than the
admission of stranger in our family
obliges us to confer on him the right Of
prescribing the rules by which it is to be
governed. We have done enough when
we have admitted him; and while it

u We would remind ou friends at a
distance, that many of them owe for two

be backward in "paying up" as the
expense we have been under TO meet
their views, calls for corresponding ef
fert on their part to enable us to meet our
engagements. Many, also, nearer home,
could materially helpus by prompt pay
ments.

We have very recently been advised
and entreated, by well meaning friends nc
,Ionbi to alter the course we have been
pursuing in relation 10 certain questions
which have, FOR two years past, conSidera-
bly, aaiIafed the public mind. We are told
that, So far as our influence goes, we are
endanpering the success Of the democratic
pafry 10 the approaching Presidential con-
test-thai we are strengthening the hands
OF federalism, and lending our aid TO the
overthrow of democracy, & the establish
nent of the federalparty 10 power, &c. &c.
Now, while we cheerfully accord to these
friendly advisers the best Of motives, and
appreciate The kind feelings which have
prompted them TO give us their advice, we
must nevertheless be permitted 20 question
the ccnuineness aud soundness Of their POI
liiicai faith, and odoubt whether they are

directly or indirectly, advocated federal

parted from the ancient landmarks OF true
democratic faith, or withheld our support
from Jefersoniau principles ! Oh no.

what, then, does our offence consist /, In
what way are we encangering the perma-

duty as a aenlinel upon the waichlower Of
liberty, raised our warning voice against
the anii-repuhiican practices Of men who
have. through the generous confidence Of
their democratic fellow citizens been ele-
waited n posts Of honor and trust in the ma

some OF The measures OF the President him
sell, and to charge him with the perpetra-
tion ol. acts inconsistent with his charac-
ter as a protested democrat. We have
exposed The errors and inconsistencies. Of
our parry leaders, aud endeavored 10 bring
the democracy back TO original principles,
from which they have SO widely strased.
