TIE NATINISTS


The last Wing dcdica,es "a few words TO Ma
taralized citizens" end rrofsscs 10 give the opi
Mons of Henry Clay" on the subject CT naturali-
zaIion. We shall reserve any remarks We may
have TO make upon ii, until The report, which is in
the hands OF Committee, shall have been re-
ccived BY the Shockoe Association. We trust,
that they will take some pains in collecting inc
facts and asccrta ming the political bearings OF
the two parties 10 this neWiaasicd association oi
"Na,iye Americans" We are not advised, at
this moment, of any Wing in Virginia who goes
for changing the Naturalization laws-with The
exception Of Mr. Archer, who is an ardent friend
of Mr. Clay, and is for extending the period oil
probation 10 81 years; seven even beyond the time
adopted during the itt61l lar administration OF the
elder Adams But We have no doubt, from all
that we see in the public papers f,he North, and
hear OF their political combinations, that The Clay
Parry in those dgginS are much more afflicted
with them than the Democrats are, and are court
inc their cooperation as zealoasly Is the votes OF
the Aboli,ion;sis
In the mean time we shall shoot all the hum
bugs OF the Wings as soon as they take wing
1t was our fortune To strike down one OF the hum
huus Of Mr.. r. Il. Daniel. in relation 10 the cleo
ton Of MAYER OF. New lolk-aIG now we shall
expose one of the ilundcIs OF the last Richmond
Wing:
"You too are toll, (,ays the Whie) that The
Wing PARTY are opposed 20 The naturalization
and voting oil fo:eigners--a statement coniradlci-
CT hy the whole history Of the country! lon are
told, moreover, Is lie Catholics arc told, hat iAe
Native American SGc:e;y Is NEiS--ihe W h:.
parry in Disguise; Statement; so VIGOROUSLY
false, that in one OF the Philadelphia ConSrts-
sional Districts Lewis c. Levin, l.ocoioco, aEd
active member Of the Society, is run ey the Ma
| live American Parry OF hat District Is tier can
diate against f. JOY Morris, ESQ"
|, was the Federal party certainly who passed
the Alien Law OF '93-and who extended the
term from 10 IA years (Gs we shall show from
the eloquent ard able Address 10 The Dcmocra-
tic Citizens OF Pennsylvania which we have
promised 10 lay before oar readers -5ul how IS II
Tia, We see Through such different spectacles, aid
refer To such different authorities, from those OF
The Richmond Wing, in relation TO The politics OF
Mr. Levin? Here IS our cr1dcacc!
From nc Philadelphia Spritoftae Times Sept. 10
"Popuarily, on the par: Of a candidate Tor pull
lie office, is :! singular thing. II is variously cs-
I teemed, variouSly acquired and rarously under
| STOOD Old-iashioned people, with oid-iashion"i
notions about honor. dcccncy ard integrity, are
very ap, 10 think popularity the product o! amia-
he qualities and exemplary department The
Na,ivi>is of Philadelphia entertain very differ
ent opinion. They conceive that the man who
I cGa torror money is popular, and that the man
! who can borrow most money from the most dis
! tinguishcd persons, is the most popular man be-
/ yond all spIte.
"We infer ina, such is the anomalous logic oi
the Natiyis<, from the fact that they have taken
an unusual degree OF pains 10 show that their
candidate for Congress from the Isl district, Mr..
| Levy or I.evin) actually borrowed $500 once,
/ when he was destitute through dissipation, in
kentucly. of Henry Clay. To b" sure, Mr.
Levy. (or LeYin) used to relate the circumstance
himself in another way. He always avclrcd
tia, Mr. CIR ,-on $500 Il him a. co1ds, and then
loaned him The same sum 10 get RID O! him.
Bu, of this, no matter. They have published
The statement in every direction. As Mr.
Levy, Cor LEVIN Ike aoa Of The Na'irc zen
Oidqtes. IS a rarm supporter of Mr.. Cloy
Ter the ncrl Presidency. We cannot infer thai
The anecdo,c was IchcarSed simply 10 expose the
lauers weakness, in illustration of the old adagc
that "a fool and his money are soon parted" II
follows then, That lis object was TO elevate Mr. L.
in the public opinion by showing that aler he had
! sqnandered away all his wealth, and hy his cx-
! ccsses reduced himsc,tto starvation, i man so &C.
iebralcd as Mr.. Clay Thought him WORTHY OF a loan
| of $500 And this they denonlinatc c"idencc Of
popularity! We dislike such personal topic, for
we conceive that a mans private recnniary ai-
| fairs have 10 business III 4 newspaper. BIT the

introduced itto the public II wasdonc by another
tNa:ive" candidate for office who was formerly a
