"What do they intend doing?' "Will they run
a separate ticket in the faIIg Gin what state is
their organization Show do they design to
keep up their separate existence :" "Wil they
indeed run ticket of their own?" M
We do not know much about what the natives
intend doing, and we believe that they are them
selves in great degree OF uncertainty about II as
We are, or any body else. But il we don't know
what the natives are doing or what they intend,
we know very well what they should do BY all
means, and at all hazards, they should run a sepa-
rate ticket II is utterly impossible for them to
maintain their existence, unless they run separate
ticket And there can be little doubt that the SEN
sibe and intelligent members Of this party are well
aware Of this. There is no alternative for them.
They must either do this, or perish IN the early
rosts of the coming winter, which will be upon
them and the late fall cabbages before they know
what they are about, if they don't hearken to us,
their calm, disinterested and philosophic friend.
The fact is, we want this question about the
naturalization law settled. We want it disposed
OF at once, and stop put to all the talking, squab-
bling, fighting and bravado, about it, And we're
not at all particular how it is settled. We don't
care straw whether the naturalization law be
repealed or not. 1t is all the same to us whether
the term Of residence, necessary to qualify for
citizenship, be one year or a ceprury-only settle
the question. 1t is great folly to waste SO many
words about it. And the "natives' never can set
tie it, unless they run separate ticket. "Yelow
Flowers and "Native Blossoms and "American
Republican Dandeions," may be scattered all
over the land, and the lungs Of seventy and seven
Summons, albeit made Of leather, may be worn
out on the snative" rostrum, but all will be as un-
profitable as the sowing Of the wind But by run
ming separate ticket, the "natlves" will decide
the matter at once. They will, by doing so, be
certain Of swapping the Wings in the coming
election, and surely that will be doing something
-"glory enough for one day." And doubtless
they will knock the Irish even farther than into
the middle of next week-into the middle of the
next half century at least.
So, then, natives, make your choice, and be
quick about it. On one hand is victory, and set.
Element of all this abbering about the naturaliza-
ton law,-on the other, defeat and disgrace If
you do not run separate ticket in the fall, it will
be equivalent to running off the field, leaving all
your banners, drums and trumpets, +" Yellow
Flowers" and sNarive Blossoms" in the hands of
the enemy.
WHAT ARE THE CATHOLICS DoING?-We have
every reason to believe that the Catholics will
come out with extraordinary force and unanlmty
in the approaching election. The movements of
the "natives," have had wonderful effect in st-
muating the Catholics into unprecedented cleo
pioneering activity. They will pour in their thou
sands and their tens of thousands into the demo-
cratic camp, and in all probability may decide the
result Of the Presidential contest.
AL the movements of the Catholics in the pre-
sent campaign, have been conducted with great
quietness and peace. They have had no public
meetings-no public appeals-no public gather
ings-no infammatory publications Of any descrip-
ton. Attending the same churches every Sunday,
they have had peculiar facilities Of meeting, con-
sulung, and arranging their plan Of operations,
and the result has been a quiet, widespread,
and effective organization for the purpose Of sup
porting the locofoco ticket. And the respectable
portion of the democratic party has discovered a
great deal Of discretion and judgment in abstaining
from exciting appeals to the Irish. The I" native"
movement has, we believe, exercised salutary
influence IN preventing, in some degree, that abom-
nable intriguing and trading for the Irish vote
which we have seen in times past. Left to them
selves,-free from the influence OF the demagogues
of their own party and of the corrupt party factions,
the Irish, class, are in all respects excellent
citizens-sober, industrious, frugal and orderly.
1t is only when they become the mis-
cradle, degraded tools of trading politicians,
or demagogues amongst themselves, that the
Irish became demoralized, and unworthy of
the privileges Of citizenship. And we believe
that we quite justified in stating that the infu-
ence Of demagogueism is diminishing amongst the
Irsh-they have been taught some useful lessons.
The evil consequences Of Bishop Hughes conduct
at Carroll Hall, have opened the eyes Of the Catho-
lies to some very important truths respecting the
duties and the pecuarties of their position in this
community. The conduct of that preate was in
deed strongly condemned from the first by many Of
the best and most worthy Catholic citizens Now
it is pretty generally regarded by them in it's proper
light.
We see in the peaceful and unobtrusive manner
in which the Irish are now conducting their share
of the electioneering movement, the evidence
that what we have just stated is correct. And the
influence of the Irish vote in the result of the cleo
ton will be now more important than ever. In
this city the Catholic vote is probably upward Of
twelve thousand. That will be cast altogether fol-
the locofocos. In Maryland the Catholics can
carry the State. In the great valley Of the Mssis
sippi, the Irish are very numerous and influential
In Ohio they also constitute an important portion
Of the electors. In Illinois and Michigan they are
very numerous. Altogether, the Irish vote exer
cises tremendous influence on the general election
in this country This year it will be brought out in
unexampled strength, and will contribute i'm
mensely to the force of the democratic party in th
great and decisive contest
| PUBLIC INFoRMERs.-One Of the evils, and no
the least Of them, produced by municipal regu
lations, forcing people to sanctfy the Sabbath, ii
the creation Of very disreputable elias Of men
who are known as public informers. We already
see this effect produced here, by the attempts o
the new corporation to punish volotions Of tn,
sanctty Of the Lords day. Last Sunday severa
individuals of low and disreputable character wen
into some of the hotels, and after getting some re
