The YELLOW FLOWER. Flowers bloom Ia other
lands as fresh and fair ss ours, but not SO Tree;
their fragrance here il more rich, and aseends 10
heaven through atmosphere purhed by free-
dom's breath. We like the name OF our paper,
1t is full OF meaning, aud conveys 70 the reader
more than column Of argument: The poet says;
"a rose by any other name would smell assweet;
Not SO IN our case, the Naive Blossom STANDS
alone, and like the Banyan tree, will take root and
inocnlate all the ear h.
The CoMISa ELEcrToN-We look upon the CON-
ing contest as one Of \ most extraordinary cha
racler The Native American party against fac-
tons, promiscuously huddird together. Factions
composed Of traitors to the land, leagued with to-
reign hirelings- Of no country, character, or
God Men who have been thrown upon our
shores In tempest from all points OF the compass,
and whose principles are moulded 10 suit the Willy
demasogne-the prostu,ed politician, and the
men who would sell their country and bible tor
opponents Need we say what party should sue
coed? Need we ask What Wilt No! The die
is cast aud America will once more be free.
The QUESTION To use arguments in favor Of
change IN our Naturalization Laws with Native
born Is not unlike the contest between an ATHEIST
and thorough Chrs,Mn-the one IS siubborny

The gradual influx Of foreigners into our country
has now become matter OF serious consider ,tlon,

American party 10 not uhke he tabled Palias, who
issued from The brain of Jupiter in iul growth, and
Completely armed. The alarm produced by this
Inundation created this second Pdllas, and like her
Il will have 10 contend "for the most necessary

.ndeavored to oppose her, but she carried the
prize, and had the honor OF giving Athens the
name Of CecroIs. The Native American party
will do the same, aud will secure 10 the land Of

foreigners would wrest from US. Palas invented
warlike arms, chariots, spinning and weaving, and
was the protrectress Of the liberal arts she erected

cities, reared gorgeous temples, invented warllke
weapons, and means Of defence, and although the
owl and the cock are not our favorite birds, We
have one the monarch OF them all--the Glorious

The history Of Rome furnishes striking instances
Of the deplorabie effects Of an influx OF sran
gers INTO country. After the Romans had con-

from all quarters. Though they came, as il were,
sngly, and humble suppants, yet they, In effect
conquered their cohquerors. They Inundated all
obscured, overwhelmed, and utterly lost in an in
Vulnerable swarm Of foreigners The evil came
on by slow and imptrceptble degrees, but was al
last irresistible and fatal These were the persons

tory, outrageous, vindlctlve and burning with am

BEAUTIES OF THE SYSTEM Ms there not man
in one 81 our public Offices whose principles in his
own country were inlmlcal to the ruling pow
ers, that when asked here recently what party he
was for, innocenily enough exc aimed, "Anah by
st Patrick, I'm against the government"
05- Are there not men in Office appointed by
the executive simply for their usefulness at cleo
ilons, and their power and Influence over Ger ain
class Of foreigners, whose votes and principles
ever for sale 10 The highest tidd~r1 And in The
exercise OF that vocation, not unfrequently oppose
The native, and shlsld their county men from the
strong arm Of justice How long are these things

THUNDERBoLrs.-Th The arguments Of the Native
Americans, in defending their rights, are SO many
thunberbolts hurled by their Vulcan strength among
heir opponents, scattering their feeble nonsense t.
the four winds OF heaven.
