Singular Disclosures respecting the Organ
OF the /" Native'' Party In this City-The
Present Condition OF the Party-Their Fu-
ture Course and Prospects.
We have been aware for some time past that
very great dissatisfaction existed in the nativen
party, with regard to the management and conduct
OF their reputed organ-the american Republi-
can" II now seems, that recent developments
have been made which threaten very serious dis
aster to the party. The pursued by the print
alluded to has been very much in opposition to the
wishes and principles Of the intelligent and inhuen
tial masses of the "natives;' and it is Disco
vered that in this disorganizing and unpopular
course it has been directed and controlled by
little clique, with Alderman, who is promi-
nent candidate for nomination on the Congresson-
al ticket, at its head. This Alderman, whose
name has been communicated to US, is virtually
the proprietor of the paper, and it has been made
completely subservient to his selfish purposes, al
together Irrespective Of the general interests of the
party.
This case presents another very significant illus
traton of the injury inflicted on political parties
by their so-called "organs." As in the present
instance the party prints owned and controlled
by despicable Iigues of corrupt and selfish traders
in politics, destitute alike of patriotism and Of
common sense-isnorant Of public opinion, and the
effective mode of managing, directing, and con-
trolling it-and who continually, by their blum
dering, selishness and malignity, involving the
party to which they attach themselves, In diff
Guilty and disaster. We every day see this exem-
plIied in the conduct Of the wing prints in this
city The six seven different ciiques represented
by the Courier, the Express, the Tribune, the Anle-
ricat, the Commercial and the other petty partizan
prints, with Mr. Clays name at their head, eter-
nally squabbling and fighting amongst themselves,
and daily furnishing weapons of attack to their adj
versaries OF the democratic party. So toe with
the locofoco party. Witness the bitterness, the
malignity, the persevering luminosity, with which
the Evening Post and the Piebeian assai each
other 1t is needless to say that these party jour-
mails, chiefly in consequence Of these chickering's,
and from their being understood to be merely the
organs of particular cligues Of office-beggars and
rotten politicians, have no influence on the great
popular mind. They are, in fact, justly regarded
by the intelligent, sensible, and honest members OF
the party which they profess to represent, curses
instead Of benefits. They are the pirates of the
newspaper press, hosting the respectable flag Of a
great party, merely for the purpose Of carrying on
more successfully their work of plumber of public
property, and assassination Of private character.
The ''.native" party in this city have been pecu-
liary unfortunate in their newspaper representa-
tive. 1t has represented only the bigotry-the IN
tolerance-the violence-and the cupidity of the
party. 1t has given utterance to the intelligence
the patrlotism-the punty-and the earnest love
Of reform, which exist amongst the best portion Of
the American Republicans. II is not at all surprising
that such general dissatisfaction with its conduct
and character, should prevail amongst the respect

supposed that it had the support Of the respectable
and influential portion of that party Mayor Har-
per has been much chagrined on several occasions,
by insinuations that he was responsible for the
scurrty--the bigotry-the PROCLAMATION Of Scrip
ture, which have SO often disgraced its columns.
But certainly this was to be expected by the Mayor,
80 long as the print in question had his apparent
sanction and that of his adherents. Now, how
ever, there is a fair prospect that this weak and
dsreputable journal will be checked in its work of
