NATIVE AMERICAN MEETING There was a mass
gathering OF the political natives Of the Northern
Districts last evening, upon the old battle ground
in the Third Ward, Kensington. II was a decided
failure, considering the preparation and loud talk
of the party. What was most remarkable in the
whole affair, was the pains taken by the speakers
10 excupate the native party from the odlum OF
having encouraged the Southwark riots and the
cowardly assaults Of the Southwark Tabble upon
our citizen soldiers while at the same time assai
ing those soldiers with all kindso opprobrous lam
guage, sneering the officers and men, and assert-
ing that they were driven from the ground by eight
nine persons, assisted by thirty or forty halt
grown boys What do you call such conduct, but
the triumphant exnltation of rioters in heart who
Indulge the belief that they have irumphed over
the authorities and the law? Who deem the
withdrawal of the military virtual capitula-
ton to a lawless mob, with whom they thus
shamelessy sympathlze The sober and reflect
ing of that party begin TO the inevitable
tendency of the sentiments expressed by the lead
ers, and the utter lmposslbllity OF counterdctlng
the Wild and insane course upon which they are
driving, and consequently they are deserving IN
crowds, and will exert every faculty for the pur
pose ct putting end to this regio political
Frankenstein. la connection with the above meet
ing, one OF the best jokes is the assertion of the
speakers that the Southwark excitement was got
no by the leaders of both the prominent parties 10
create prejudice against the native Americans
Do the natives admit that their political organlza
ton Is so infamable and dsorderiy that any set OF
designing men can set II in blaze whenever they
think proper? That their material is OF such a
nature as 10 endanger the peace Of society upon
the slightest provocation, or even the shadow Of a
q 10 adm 1910 hev
make by the above accusation. Be assured, sir,
that these menin their remarks have unconsciously
admitted that which Is true. Their organization
IS one OF the most dangerous ever conceived of in
this or any other country beginning religious ia
naticsm and leading directly TO rebellion and mas
sacre. II strikes deadly blow at the existence of
our Republican institutions, and for that reason will
be put down by the people.
The PoLTTIcAL CAMPAIGN.-Partes have begun
10 marshal themselves in earnest for the fight Of
lSii Both wings and democrats now in the
delegate elections. The democrats elect delegates
throughout the city and county to choose candi-
dates tor local, state and national Offices Mon
day next, and from the temper manifested, think
superlative tickets will be put IN nomination. The
same may be said Of the wing party and, indeed,
these results are about the only good that will
spring out of the bitter waters Of the Native Amer-
can organization
DEATH or AN OLD NEWSPAPER PUBLISHER The
venerable Z4charia Poulson, the propr etor OF the
old "Dai,y Advertiser" and the last link which
connected our publishing community with those
OF the days OF FraRklin, departed this life last
night, full OF years and hoaors He retired from
business some years ago, when his paper was melt
ed into the present "North American of this
city. OF the property lett by him, (property, by
the way, is the first thing asked after upon man 5
demise,) have no means Of knowing, but pre-
sumo he must have died wealthy. | can give You
no good reason for this presumption, unless il be
that his standing in society was such as to max E
HIM an exception TO the generality Of newspaper
publishers
The CoURTs.-The Quarter Sessions was open
short time this morning, but the only business trans
acted was admitting man charged with not TO
bail. The Grand Jury are tardily investigating the
mares nest OF the armlng OF st. Mlch4eps Church,
kenslngton but the judge growls their slow ne -.
THEATRIcAL.-The new Pantomme brought out
at the Walnut street Theatre on Monday night is
said to be good, and drew on its first represe nta-
ton, a crowded house Ii has been repeated nigh
Iy, but not with the same success
AT the Arch the new play OF "R chelieu in
Love" continues 10 draw full houses. The tact is,
this establishment now takes the lead and will SO
continue 10 do, so long the manager continues
to feed the public appetite with food that is healthy
and digesiabe.
