III.IBERALITY AND IMpuDENCE.

a Na,uralized Citizen in he Richmond
Compiler has finished his lang nam at last We
shall dedicate few structures 10 his illusions on
Monday We hlash. that any citizen. (bc he nntu-
ralt-ed or le be nG'rc) should have poured ont 80
much acrimonious bile upon the Republican par
II of his city. He charges The whole Loco
Foco par,y," a. this gentleman is pleased 10 call
them, with IAN ritter opmsii0n 10 Mc prosperity
of Pickmondn Does this sCrihhlcr forget. that
many nj that parry were born hcfe-that they
have ot course the sironges. associations and the
deepest affections for hcr-lha, others have been
living here for thirty or lory years. Gas We have
beenl with family devoted 10 ney people, with
all their interests inrescd in the city, with de-
termination TO die in her bosom, and 10 have their
bones buried here? Does this liberal ard rabid
| Wing forget, that these men may have as sincere
an attachment TO the prosperity OF this city
as he or any naturaized citizen may have!-
Ne Tor auSht we know, may he "a bind Of pas
sage and beast Of preyO Does he forget, hat
these men have already done as much il not more,
for the civ than himScli-and that in ;Ecr views
only, abonl Tie manner Of promoting her fro>rc-
ri,y, they may differ with himself or any "Nalu-
rallied Ciiizenl" Are they, therefore, 10 be dc
nounced as enemies TO Richmond are they 10 be
put under the ban Of The cty-denied, perhaps,
fire and water, because their ideas cannot Gracty
tally with those of an Liberal scrlbbcr Are We
10 be impuden;ly told, by any man, (be he naive
or be he natura iZed,) that because cur watch
does not precisely keep time with his-lhat be-
cause there are measures which the Wings pro-
pose, that the Republicans do not approve,
whilst we prefer other measures TO promote
her prosperity, therefore 90 use his own mo-
des, words.) THAT party do no. descrUe rate

mask is. Ecray be Natra!ized CitIzen. He
NAV have teen rcsiden. OF 80 gears, or Of a
monitor he may be an a!rant imposlor, Tor
auqht that we know. We care rot to know what
he is, or even TO know such 4 man. Bu; hold,
that no man but The most violent of I'll rabid
Wings, could have uttered he shameless senii-
men.s, which he has poured ior:h through four
Nos Of The Richmond Compiler, without The
slightest check, so far as Ne are advised from
me Editors Of that paper. Il is really too bad
Parry spirit has degeneratad 10 the vilest excess
when such writer is permitted 10 disgorge his
venom upon a whole parry without any eXcep-
tion-a par:r, that is so respectable for lis num-
bers for Inc talents that adorn it, Tor the principles
which they fairly and honestly support
Ther are To he dis!ranchised, iorsooth, if this
"Naturalized Citizen" could have his way
because they honestly differ with the Wings, a.
to certain principles and measuTes-bccauSc,
in fact, instead Of looking 10 the Federal Co
vernment for the lat,udnous exercise Of its
powers, We think il best 10 keep thai Govern
mcnt Limited TO iis proper orbit, and princi-
pally to look TO our own Stale Government,
and 10 the energies of the people themselves for
The hes, means of advancing the prosperity of our
beautiful City We OF the Republican party.

held up as enemies of The Cily, and cut of from
the usual privilege Of American citizens. Take
this mans own argument, and APPLY il 10 his own
case-and that of his party. The Loco Focos
have a majority in the State, a. his party have
in his city. We Nhe Loco Foros, the Repubi-
cans believe that bocauSc the Wings differ with
US oil certain principles and measures. they (he
Whigs) arc lin utter opposition 10 the prosperity
OF Vrginia--and He6ej0r", that the Wings ''do
not deserve a vote in The State or in any part OF
The country interested in her growth and vel
fare'-What would this "Naiuraized Citizen say
TO This absurd and outrageous doctrine1 We
have not terms sufficiently strong TO express our
indignation and contempt, for the impairment de-
nuncia,ion Of this meddeSone dcmagoeue We
sec his object, and We despise il. But We have
no room to-day for further remarks upon his pro-
ductinns Our columns are better employed, than
in hunting such Coon. We shall steal short
space in our Mondays paper 10 touch and ex-
pose the points which he has made We gridge
