ORIGIN OF THE RIOTS.

From the Philadelphia Saturday Museum.
Now that the riots are sueled, there is
time 10 review the occurrence, and TO give
an opinion on the origin of the disaster, il
was inevitable, and the means 10 suppress
it the best within the power of the constitu'
ted authorities.
There are different opinions as to The
propriety of inst'tuting a party with the
views of that calling itself Native Ameri'
can. Some of these opinions are honestly
held. Others are spurious, being simply ;
political deception to gain the votes of nat
uralized citizens, which is done by sup
preston of view really entertained, an
mendacious fattery uttered in place of il
We think it not difficult to find men, wit
but little liberality in their hearts toward
persons Of foreign birth, yet who for part
purposes are ready to oppose any move
ments like that Of the Native Americans
And it is very certain that for some tim
past, in order to gain the votes Of person
of foreign birth, irregular means have bee
taken, and distinction drawn between Cit
zens Of The republic where no difference
actually exist. We have had appeals mad
to German fellsw citizens, whereas patriot
ism and constitutional enactment know n
such persons, different in political sens
from Americans born; but all, under III
broad bene6cicn. provisions of the law, ar
