ceive that the effort to start i" Native American
party in Boston is likely TO be dead failure. 1t
seems to go backward of late. Mr.. Webster has
come out distinctly against the organization OF the
new party in New England, and AYERS that the
wing party is quite sufficient for all the purposes #
those reforms in relation to foreigners and natural
ization, so much talked of by the "natives" We
believe that Mr.. Webster is right. The wing party
has always been more or less in favor of registry
laws and such reforms and restrictions upon the
naturalization laws as might ensure the purity Of
the ballot-box and we are very much disposed 10
think that the wing party is right those points
Every candid man must admit that there has been
a great deal of looseness In the administration Of
the naturalization laws; though we do not believe
that they have been violated to the extent pretended
by some of the demagogues Still we should be-
very happy to see reform take place to a mode
rate extent-such as Mr.. Webster and the whig
party will no doubt advocate.
II is probable that the natives'' will disappear
altogether after the Spring Election in this city.
Ia Albany, the attempt to organize party on these
principles has been recently made, but with small
success. If the wings would come out in this city
with common sense declara alton on the subject q,
the naturalization laws, and distinct pledge to
give US city reform, they would utterly annihila,e
the natives" and also beat the locofocos, giving
US, perhaps, for one year, something like good
city government in New York
"THE MONKS OF Monk HALn."-There has been
playing for some time, at the Chatham theatre, a
puer.le piece of obscenity, under the title of thc
Monks Of Monk Hall'-in which the principal
characters are an unprincpled rake, the 'cully" OF
q bawd-house, female decoy- duck of the same es
Enlistment, the "mother' of the concern, and
young girl, lured there to her Destruction, and AT
last rescued by her brother, who had visited the
place willingly enough, until he found that his sis
ter was one of the victims. The main scenes and
incidents OF the piece occur in the various cham
bers OF this establishment, and the language, man
ners, and conduct of the parties are, we should
imagine, pretty fair transcript from nature, al
though somewhat over colored in the more revolt
ing particulars. The whole affair has not decent
sentiment or respectfully constructed sentence to
redeem its grossness; and we know not which, in
its way, deserves the severest condemnation-the
morals, the merits, the manners of this disgust
ing mass of filth.
This, we believe, is the first time in New York
that the scenes and incidents of the brothel have
been presented upon the stage, and we have been
waiting some time to see if our pious and bible
loving authorities would not become conscious Of
the existence Of this nuisance and take means to
remove it. Seeang, however, that they are other.
wise employed, we take the liberty of pointing
their attention it, and of calling upon the Mayor
to prohibit the representation of this piece either
by having it withdrawn from the stage, or by sup
pressing the theatre altogether.
