The American Republican
Party.-Our Position.

The result Of the late Presidential Elec-
ton, and the many frauds committed by
foreiRus in obtaining papers of citizenship,
has fully convinced US of the great necessi-
~ Of a change in our Naturalization LarS.
And believing as tre do, that the time has
now arrived for every American citizen to
take a decided stand either for OF against
the true interests Of this country, has the
more induced US to fling to the breeze the
proud and noble BANNER of AMERIcANIsM,
and which banner we are determined shall
wave il our masthead until it shall be fear
: ed and respected by all who wish and ear
neslly desire TO trample it in-the dust.
It's a we'll known fact, that during the
great political struggle which has just end
ed, that frequent appeals were made 10y
locolOce papers, to nGturdlizcd citizens, TO
vote in body, not simply as citizens, but
as foreigners, for James K. Polk. Now,
we ask every candid and rational man,
be he native OF foreigner, if this is not the
EIeN interest in this country, and should
be opposed by every American citizen
And what will be the result of such state
of thingsl In the language of cotempor.
airy VIC say-"if they coalesce as foreign
CrS, do they think the American people will
not unite as natiUes?" If the question is
WHO SHALL RULE, can they imagine for a
moment that they who tweed humblcd
proud Britain, will submit to be put down
by those who have sought their country
for its Liberty,and who have found in that
country equal rights. a cordial welcome,
and brOtherly sympathy.

cessiOn Burial OF the Coon
bY Bows!

Ny DVSSs
Our nsghbol of the Democrat, in his
paper of the 2sth ult., gives {" by request
of the boys of this place'') a most dOleful
and heOrt,rcnding (tO the Wings as he sup-
poses) account of the burial Of the "Whig
Coon," on Monday night the 25th. Now,
the fact is, in our opinion, our big friend Of
the Democrat, gives the account to his
readers more to crafty his own feelings
than to satisfy the whims Of his juvenile
democratic friends.
Our neighbor attempts great display of
the solemn proceedings, and 1t may all be
true for ought we know, as we did not wits
ness the procession and ceremonies Of cons
signing the noble Old Coon to his last rest
ing place, but had he died natural death,
and not been basely assassinated by the
lOcos, We might probably have assisted in
paying the last tribute of respect to our
departed friend-we are informed, however,
by friend, that the largest portion Of the
procession was composed of boys, a few
men, and the rear rank negroes, and that
some few Of the "unterrifed'' took the
back track that led to the place of inter.
ment.
We have been tauntingly informed by
democrats, that many of our whig friends
took the burial proceedings in high dudgeon;
this we know is not the fact, as we believe
every whig is possessed of too much good
sense TO take offence at children's play, al
though our worthy neighbor endeavors TO
make great affair Of il.

with "a most amiable leer. They pointed the
Wings to the skies and talked about provdental
dispensatlons. But The mighty mass OF Wings at
Lexington, estimated al 10000 to $4,000 enthu-

suspicious 1t was fuel for their fire and more
