New-York daily tribune., 1844-11-23
men, thet Natipis,n put us in a position where


men, that NGt;otSn put us IN position where
we were likely To gain only rome portion of the
10000 Lcco Naiioes and lose some portion or
ali OF thu 10000 naturelized Wings, and under
these circumstances VIC could not iai: to be in
jured b7 this apparent Irritation with Natiprsm
We have in the result oil cur Elections the proof
CT this position. The week before the Phiiadel
phia Election we were sure Of carrying the STATE
We bad learned that we could bear the drain
that Birncy;sm was making from our ranks We
should have done so but from the fact that some
| thousands of Naturaiised Wings, alarmed q. the
progress that Natirism appeared to be making
IN the Nhig ranks, left US and voted with the
Texas party.
This is tho reason why Erie county gave l844
majority instead of 25G0-es she otherwise
would. In this county VIC hso and have had for
many years, large nsturslized Wing vote and
here we were particularly exposed to loss irori
this movement TO the honor OF the naturalized
Wing voters be it said, that large nembers OF
them looked beyond the surface Of things and
saw that Nctiuism was totally distinct and sepa-
rate from Whigism, and adhered to The Wing
cause with courageous fidelity. If they had all
left US we should not have had one thousand ma
1rty. Iobservc that the difference between the
vote of Polk and Wright in the City of New
York is some 1900 That is the utmost amount
that our Electoral ticket received from the Loco
Natiros and in gaining that we have lest thrice
the number Of naturalized Wings. Even this
lesson Of adversely does no. seem to teach WIS
dom to the bigoted Natpes New steps are being
taken to extend the organizations and push the
doctrines of the party and it now seems to be una
voidablc that this strange political absurdity must
have its day-and perhaps there can never be
better time than the next years to fight out this
political episode Ltt This organization proceed,
and all the bigotry, llliberslity, Federalism and
folly that have bacn so long stumbling block in
the way Of Wing success will be purged from
the great Wing party, and leave us Inc simple
elements of enlightened practical Democracy
We will 60 vigorously along In the broad path
of universal political enftanchisemeut. The Ma
tiues viii be trying the experiment Of circum.
scribipg political rights by legal and peaceful
methocs -anzexperiment such as has never been
successful in the whole history of man.
We shall be endcavoring to put the ballot into
the hands of every male inhabitant of lawful age;
they will be endsavoring to take taway from one
particular class. 1t does not require prophets
ken to foresee which will succeed.
So certainly as one billow follows another upon
the troubled ocean, SO certainly will political rights
be resumed by the sovereign People till they enjoy
and exercise them all as they arc enumerated in
our Declaration Of Rights and independence
Natives, if they hope 10 succeed must expect to
gain from the Loco.Foco party more than they
alieDato riom the Wing party. Surely the expert
ment in New. York ought to salts y them OF their
error No party objects TO having natu'alIzsd
citizens voting with them. The moral serse OF
the Natire is not shocked at having citizen OF
foreign birth vote tho NatiDe ticket; 1t is only
when they are against him that they are dan
The great Wing party-the strongest and
best organized minority ever beaten-will ad-
here to its faith its organization and its battle
naion. Nor is it in danger of being weakened
5y des ertions 10 Natiuism. Its moral condition
viii be much improved by losing all the mate
rial that sympa'hizes with this new aosurdlty'-
II is the party of universal enroneAisensent, and
that viii be its object and its name.
