The American RepuDiicans.'

The Bay State Democrat, Boston, unquai-
fsdy pronounces the Native party here
Wlig' concern, got UP and supported almost
entirely by Wings This is the reverse of truth
It originated, first in the abuses, humbugs and
knaveries of Tammany Hall in relation to the
Adopted Citizens Secondly in the indignation
and excitement of the Amercan-bon portion OF
the sglfstyled Democratic party at the appoint
ment year since OF many lrishborn citizens to
sffice on the return Of that party to power IN our
Council which caused rebellion among the
butchers, market-men, &c. &c. who were brought
most Immediately in collision with the new lrish
Clerks of Markets, and like functionaries. So
far were the Wings from being foremost in this
matter, that hardly any Of us knew or believed
that the new party would poll 5000 votes last
Fall, when it first formed ticket and actually raj
lied nearly 10000 supporters, of whom certainly
more than half came from the ranks Of the Van
Buren, party, as the vote for the Wing and Loco
Foco parties was nearly equalized, though the
Wings took little interest in the Election, and
turned out very languidly. This Spring the Ma
tives' have polled most votes from the Wing
party, but on what grounds Let US, however,
hear the accusation of the Bay State Demo-
crat .

Now we will not ask the Bay State Demo
crat' and those who will follow in its track to take
our reiutation of the above tissue ofmsrcprescnta-
ITEMS. We CHE them to the leading Editorial in

every controverted principle or measure, an carly
and ardent advocate Of the Native cause, and
one tolcrably skilled and accurate in Political
computations when il chooses to be So The
