NATIVE AMERICANIsM IN N. YORK.

~
New York Courier and Enquirer, TO which
we call the attention of our readers, and es-
pecially our natnralized citizens. There are
more than one or 70 locofoco-would-be-
leaders in this county, who, although they
know better, are busily engaged in c%ircula-
ting the liethat the Native American party is
made up from the whig party and originated
with it. They expect to excite the preiu-
dices of. naturalized citizens against the
wings and secure their votes to bolster up a
cause fast sinking into contempt. We do
not expect, by the publication of these ex-
tracts, taken from their chief organ at Wash
ington city, to stop the lies of these reckless
seekers and expectants of Office, but we do
hope TO open the eyes o fthe intelligent nat
uralizedcitizen TO the true facts of the case.
That the Native American party originated
with the locofocos. there is not a Doubt
The Globe admits it. Read for yourselves
From the New York Courier and Enquirer.
THE GLOBE AND THE NATIVE AMERICAN
PARrY.-The Washington Globe fills column
after column with attempts TO identify the
wings as a party with the "American Repub-
l~icans.n They will prove as impotent as. they
are unprincipled. In this city, where the
matter is perfectly well understood, such mis-
representations can deceive no one. Every
one here is we'll aware that the organization
of the party styled the "Natiye Americans
grew out of the Locofoco ranks; that it had
its origin is the virtual prescription exercised
I-LL.o i 1aofoon a5tv nouarnnonf fnurardS
native born citizens, in the distribution of of
fees, for the sake of securing the party sup
port of naturalized citizens-and that its
chief strength was and is stilldrawn from the
ranks of the Tammany party. In this city,
we say, these facts are well understood
Elsewhere, however, they may not be; and
as the Globe sees fit falsely to charge upon
the wings, the origin of this newsparty, for
the purpose of making party capital out of its
allegations, we ask attention 10 proof, from
files of the Globe itself that the charge is
falfe:
The Globe of Nov. 10, 1913, in the course
of some editorial comments on the result oil
the then late election, said:-
s'The great split in the party occasioned
by the offence taken by a portion of it at the
conduct of the Democratic city council which
was charged with giving more than a due
share of the Offices TO naturalIZed citizens
have not come up to the calculations of It's
authors. The Native Republican party, Ga.
it was called,) by the diversion of between
5000 and 5000 votes from the regular tick
ct, TO one. of its own choosing, lost to the
Democracy two Of its strongest wards,and tht
secession lost the Democrats the Sheriff anC

feated the whole ticket" s.
This extract proves, by the Globe itself
that the organization Of a new party was The
result of 'great split" in the Democratic
party':-that this split was occasioned by dis
satisfaction among the Locofocos themselve
at alleged misconduct of the Locofoco Gil,
government; and that it resulted inthe loss o
ssbetween 5000 and $1,000 votes 10 the loco
foco ticket. u~Frss e.Hs
But againi-The Intelligencer intimate
that possibly the new party had derived sup
port from the wings, and that the wings ha
thus lost strength in consequence ofits organ
ization this is in fact, what the Globe say
now,-behold what it said Nov. 10Th, 1S4s
on this very point:
HThis statement of the National Intell
gencer of this morning, is directly in th
teeth of the truth, as admitted by the joul
mails of IFS own party in New York; is in cor
tradiction of the notorious fact, that til
wards in which the Native Republican tlcke
obtained malorities, and threw the Democri
cy in a minority, have, on all occasions, pro,
ed to be among the strongest Democrat
wards in New York; and is in conflict wit
the circumstances which are known 10 hay
given birth to this schism inthe Democrat,
viz: Dissatisfaction with a portion of it
the employment given to The adopted citizer
by the Democratic City Councils. The pu
port of the Native Republicans was TO pus
other Democrats favorable TO their view
against those whom they accused of disar
pointing them. Whiggery voted its ow
ticket" 81
This is, certainly, an alI-sufficient excu
patton ofthe wings from the charge of ha
ing originated and strengthened the newR
publican party. "Whiggery'' says the Glob
''voted its own ticket.h
Thus far we have copied from the EDITOR
columns ofthe Globe their New York &C
respondent spoke the same sentiments,
the following language:
"The Native American ticket polled
least 5000 votes; FIVE sixths of which can
from the Democratic party. That ticket, (t
Native American) obtained majorities in ty
of the strongest Democratic wards in t
city-the 9th and 1Ith." = = eth
went off from The Democratic party on q
count of the city corpoation (Which IS Den
cratic YOU know having given many of I
lower offices of the city-such as watchm
&c. &c.-to the Irish; and the snow of t
