The New York Tribune In the following arti.
Gle speaks the truth. Why should not Foreign
.ers forget that they are Foreigners hero when Ia
king part in the political affairs of our free coun-
try. Why should they &C, and vote as Germans,
French, Irish, or any thing but AMERICAN
CITIZENSl The Democratic party is respon.
sible for their separate ac,on--the appeals which
have been made 10 them as Foreigners, as Ger
mans, and Irish, &c., by the Democratic party
keeps up their distinctive organisation. And
that same demagogical and censurable plan of in
huencing them threatens seriously to disturb their
own peace and happiness.-Rieh. Compiler.
BAD POLICY.
Tammany Hall is bent on ruinnr itself and
at the same time doing lasting mischief to its
dupes. One night We have German meeting in
favor of Polk and Dallas, and Germen process
sion; then we have French meeting to discuss
the Politics of the Country, and gravely resolve
to support Polk and Dallas. All this in the face
Of Formidable Native party, instigated by just
such measures, and when the flame of Nativism
VIGOROUSLY burns 6ercer and spreads wider daily.
Every considerate man feels that an Irish, Ger
man, or French meeting in our midst to make
demonstration on our Elections, is direct incen-
tive TO Native connteraction, and in some sort an
argumen. therefor Will our Adopted Citizens
never learn to net and think as Americans, and
repel every appeal 10 them as Irish or French.

not willing that they should be lightly SUBJ
Jected to the peril Of destruction, through the
ignorance and recklessness Of foreign voters
Hence, he required that foreigners should be-
come, 40 to speak, naturalized in their senti-.
ments, habits, sympa,hles aud manners, be-
lore by legal naturalization they should be
incorporated into the body polite and invest
ed with the rights aud dignilies of citizens
And, certainly, the principle Of this enactment
must commend itself to every sober under

the most true hearted patriotism though,
doubtless, the application of the principle need
not, IN all cases, be carried to an equal degree

WE TOLD THEM so.

Our readers will recollect that VIC appraised
the Locofoco pipe-layers who voted in Balti-
more at the late elections that they were ana
iously expected there on Monday, where suC-
fcent evidence was in waiting to convict
them OF false voting, and perhaps of perjury.
u has turned on! as we told them. John Nj.
Basseu, William Nicholas, and Thomas Full
Ter, Alias Filler, of this city, charged with at
tempting TO vote at the 4th ward polls, and al
so James b. Ruth, for voting at said polls,
were arrested yesterday, and held to bail.
We ply those deluded dupes who have been
pushed on by men here who are ready for the
commission of any crime, however heinous,
to save their sinking party--men, too, who
are barelaced enough to call themselves NOR
ally honest! There Is another step necessa-
ny to satisfy public Indignation at these out
RACES on the right of suffrage, that Is, arrest The
instruments in this city by which the fraud
was planned. We can put our finger on them.

of lands in Georgia upon some such principle.
