men and Yankees, we ask you to look a!
this assault in its true light. The man
who put forth these base sanders, would
apply the same language, in a moment
to the Irish and German Catholics, if a
ma jorlty Of them should be suspected Of
hostility TO Locoocolsm. Look at the
principle involved. The leaders Of the
Locofoco party are ever protesting, with
their lips, their regard Tor adopted cit-

the country for a few months have
shown. Think you, follow adopted cit

Democracy. Not they. They are Fed

they suspect they can make political

Catholics, they will do so! Be not de-

"a FACT TO'BE REMEMBERED! ="
"Every Eaglishman and 'Orongemaa'
in the city OF Now York, entitled to a
vote, voted against the democratic party
on Tuesday The former has deadly
hatred against the democracy of this
country, who have twice whipped their
arrogant nation, since l776 and WILL DO
IT AGAIN SHORTLY. The Englishman
makes capital 'Native So does the
'Orangeman." so does The 6igotcd
Scotchmdn So does The dOrn east Snuf
fling Yankee, who never took any inter.
esl whatever in the success OF the dem
ocratiC institutions ofthe State OF New
York, except 80 far as his cupidty or
private interests were affected. Well
flax you out yet, depend upon it. You
can't hang together single month with
out quarreIing for spoiIs,'
The appeal 10 prejudice, to the war
feeling, aud TO religious feeling, con-
tanned in the above extract, is NOT more
Infamous than startling. Every honest
rejoicing man, who looks upon it as he
should, will turn away with Ioathing
and deteslation, from that narrow, par
tizan bigotry, that thus prostitutes eve
ry thing and ondangers every thing
worth preserving, for base parIizan pur.

The PIebiOn attempted 10 qualify or
apologize for The insullil had offered to
respectable and honest men, a day or
two afterwards; but the apology made
the matter worse, and exposed even
more signally the hypocrisy and dishon
esty oI tho man who had thus wRntonly
made the attack.
