Gov. SEWARD OF New YoRK--PoL1TIcAL In
rRIeuEs.-We must contestant what .dnleri-
can can but feel--deep modification a. the base
intrigues of partisans, who would leopard the lib
critics of their country, and risk the extinction oil
their mother tongue, by the introduction into our
land, of foreign Teachers and foreign institutions,
10 the exclusion and in derogation, of our own
laws and customs. ......>
Has our country come to this, that we are toi
change our language to suit the emigrants from
all quarters of the globe? Have we SO far bar
tered our freedom, that unless our laws pub
lished in two three different languages, the par
ties refusing to vote for it, shall be threatened with
vengeance? When we look at Ohio, and know
the fact of her having had her laws printed in 9th
er languages than our own, for the especial Of
those, whose business it is, at least, when they
come among US, to learn our language,-we can
not but fear the consequences. When we know
the fact that the greatest difficulties prevail in
her Courts, in carrying on case, for the want OF
good Interpreters and the manner III which for
eigners are horded in all parts of our Western
country we can but look with heartfelt sorrow on
making towards our overthrow. We find Colonies
planted among us in every directon-notby good,
honest emigrants, such as formerly came among
us, and ived among as, and learned among us,
and transacted their business among us, and in our
own language-but CoLoNIEs-where the persons
who form them, squat on certain portions Of our
lands and within their own shire, transact all their
business in tongue and style foreign to, and at
variance with, ours and whose only claim to our
protection is, their ADOPTION of our country as
their own! They make laws for their own gov
eminent, and in their own language; as far as i
is possible for them to do, they keep all their bust
ness to themselves teach their children their fa-
theirs dialect; and retain their old customs. These
are no fancied assertions-they are plain truths:
-"Proofs strong as Holy writ" are planted all
over our Western and South Western country
And, let but tho monarchs of the old world get
their plans matured, and then will come the dead
ly blow. We will not stop to prove this last as
sertion at this time, but will proceed with Gov.
Stewards message. And, as we are always will
ling to give way for others in place Of any thing
we can say ourselves, we insert the following no.
tice oil that part of the message which relates to
the Education of Foreign Children. Though we
do not hold with all that is here asserted, yet, the
general TRUTHS contained in the article are enough
for us TO know, to ensure for it an insertion. When
we find men high in power, fawning and cringing
to foreigners for their votes-when we see them
forging the letters that will one day bind their chill
dren in the dust-when we see them hugging to
their breast an adopted child, and feeding it with
the best, while that Of its own blood is standing
by, picking the crumbs that are falling from the
table-we must " cry aloud and spare not"
"Freemen, arouse, the lines are drawn,
And sealed, the strong and fervent vow
Your country's genius waves you on,
And shame to him that falters
On, il the chanless strength Of mind,
Fling proudly back the veil accursed-
And b,eak the letters forged to bind
Your freeborn spirits in the dust"
We cannot even believe for moment that any
real friend Of his country could hold such opinions
c;hlscicn,iously Gov. Seward has advanced.
Political ambition has his reins-the love Of pow
or guides him and his vehicles filed with corrup-
ton-the corruption Of the party spirit of the
present day-that spirit that wllead man 10 gain
his end, no matter what means he uses to do it.
Then we say, let Native Americans come to the
rescue, as the Conservative Party of the Union
Jet them form their own party--and when they
asst their votes for man, let them ask the ques-
!, M, not whether he is Wing or aDemocrat, but
vb ether he is in favor Of Repeal Of the Natur-
liz alton Laws When this course is adopted, we
nav hope to see our Government regain its prls-
inc eau.y-but if neglected, we may prepare to
ang " our harps upon the willow" and mourn
yer tn, fate Of the Republic.
From the Truth Taller.
