An American Party.

An American Party.
The State of New York has given her
Electoral vote to James K. Polk. and
that electoral vote, if he is elected has
given him the Office of President of the
United States. We need not say that
we record this result with no satsfact-
ion; for we regard it as a calamity to
the people of the country, and an espec-
Ial atiilctlon 10 all It's business prospects.
The result, indeed, ia this State, is more
than public alflction. 1t disgraces US
IN our own eyes, and before the whole
people. We know not upon whom TO
cast the blame, for such result, except
upon our opponents, u some thousands
of Abolitionists-th last Of whom no
donbt could have prevented the election
of James X. Polk. They have chosen,
with some honorable exceptions, how
ever, and in the exercise of an undouht-
ed right, TO give their influence entirely
to the election Of man hostile 10 all of
their views, and nominate and now C.
lected by Southern votes, and Texas in
lluence. If they can reconcile their
conduct with their principles be it So
We have no animadversons 10 cast up-
on them beyond the result 10 W hich they

have prevented The evil, and SO could
the Wing party in spite of them, but
Tor the FRAUDS of their opponents.
To this result then, we must come at
last. That fraudulent Foreign roies
haze given the electoral cote of the
State Of Nea0 York TO James K. Polk.
aud that the same fraud perperaied
efse'chere has giren him majority OF
Tie electoral rotes Of Tie counLrg Our
enemies cannot conceal this fact. 1t is
beyond disguise. 1t is seen in the vote
OF this city. 1t is seen in the vote oCSt
Lawrence and Jefferson. 1t is seen a.
long the river counties, and every where
where there has been foreign material
to make voters of Most melancholy
OF all, 1t has been seen IN many of our
public courts, where, with indecent haste
and IN the Indulgence Of a proscriptive
spirit against the Wings, there has been
the manifestation of great partiality
for sympathizers in politics and where
justice has been trampled under foot
What have our courts OF law TO do with
politics? What right have our Judges
to bring their party predictions upon
the Bench? Is this the price Of the pla-
ces they received, and is Justice thus to
be mixed Up with party strifes, scram-
bies .Jr Office, and the schemes Of polti-
! cal sportsmen to defraud the people of
their rights? From NINE TO TEN THOU
SAND CITIZENS WE'RE MADE IN THE STATE
OF New York, WHO NEVER VOTED BEFORE
THE ELECTION OF TUESDAY LAST. More
foreigners were made citizens by thou
sands than the majority given to Mr..
Polk,-and the worst feature Of all, has
been, as we had abundant testimony du-
ring the process of naturalization, that
PERJURY had as much influence in the
manufacture of foreign voters as the
truth itself. What is true of New
York city, is true Of the counties that
give the greatest Locoloco gains in the
extreme parts of the State, and what is
true Of the State, is true Of the Union.
The victory Of the Loco Focos is not
: that of AMERICANS, but triumph Of J.
rishmen AMI Germans over AMERICANS.
