ENrnUsIAsM The Native American party
OF this city is proceeding with enthusiasm in
the political canvas, and we shalt be much
mistaken if the vote which will be given at
the approaching election, do not astonish both
OF the old parties. We have no doubt that
large majority of the voters of this city and
state are decidedly favorable to the principles
supported by the Native American party, al
though old party attachments may prevent
their open union with tina; party at the present
time. The public meetings have been well at
tended, and the speeches delivered received
with enthusiastic appreciation. The mechan-
les and working mon of the city have taken
the matter in hand, and they are the right
kind Of men to 90 ahead in whatever they UNI
dortake. They have examined the evidence
which we have published in relation to the in
Aux of foreign criminals and paupers, the
frauds committed at elections, Sc, and they
see and feel the necessity of farther legislation
on these subjects. They are not willing that
European convcts and paupers shall take the
bread from themselves and families, and hence
desire that measures may be adopted TO destroy
the cunning policy of foreign powers in send
ing their useless and criminal population to
our shores The time will arrive, when every
American citizen will shew his hand upon this
subject; and it will then be seen, whether or
not Americans are capable Of ruling them
selves. The proper spirit is spreading through
the land, and will make itself to be felt in
Congress

THAT SENTENCE. We were much gratihed
few days since, in recording the sentence
passed by Judge Edmonds on MIR. John Van
Buren,, attorney general of New York, aud Mr.
Jordan, a conspicuous attorney, for dsordcrly
conduct in Court. In passing the sentence Of
Imprisonment, the Judge said-''the court had
a higher duty to perform, than to con.
suit their private feelings, and for his owr
part, he should regard himself as unworthy Of
his station, if he should allow any pain which
ancc of his duty And how could it be expect
ed that the weak, the ignorant and the unin-
formed, should be made to respect the laws
and maintain order, if such violations Of it,
among those who were high in rank and sta
ton, and well informed, should be overlooked
or visited otherwise than by an appropriate evil
dCnce Of condemnation"
This is the true ground--the higher the sta
lion of the offenders, the greater the necessity
of enforcing the law, as an example to others.
1t would be rank injustice to permit such men
as Mr.. Van Buren and Mr.. Jordan to escape
with fine which they could pay without in
convenience, and imprison more humble trans
gressors for the same offence. Nothing has a
greater tendency to bring the judiciary into
dsrespect than such observation-disclosures we
are glad that Judge Edmonds had the frmness
to send the two offending gentlemen to goal
Let Judges always oct in this manner and
courts ofjusticc will be sure to have the respect
and esteem of all right-thinking citizens.

Anecdote of NIr. Calhoun.

We have heard story of MIR. Calhoun
which speaks so we'll for his independence Of
character, that we think it ought to be put on
record for general circulation. Mr.. Calhoun
being pressed bv some Of his friends TO retain
his connection with the new Administration,
as duty which he owed to his friends, re"
piled with spirt:-"I will not comprom1t my
own honor, nor the honor of my friends by
conserving to remain where | am Being
pressed to accept of the appointment OF MIN
lister to Eng land, we are told that his answer
was:-''lf should accept of the appointment,
| should probably receive instructions which
could not obey" And again. being asked
if he would not return to the Senate. he said :
mo, shall retire to my plantation, to await
the turn Of coming events"
We have no sympathy with Mr.. C"lhoun's
public opinions, but we have high regard to'
that indie pendence of character which places
him above the suspicion of mean action.

The Washington correspondent of the: N :.
\: Commercial Advertiser (whig) thus speaks
OF the new Secretary:
81 am inclined to come to the conclusion.
after all, tina, Mr.. Bancroft means to turn ia
something of river into the Angen stable of
the Navy Department, and sweep away many
OF the abuses which have grown offensive
there to the public nostrils. The sentiments
which he avowsin private conversations in-
dictate that ne has SOME idea of the Hpreuiean
labor before him, and the nerve to undertake
it. His predecessor, Mr.. Henshaw. BEGAN
the work, but unfortunately. he did so before
re was confirmed, and, of course, arrayed all
the parties interested to sustain the present
abuses against him, to prevent his confirna
ton. Mr.. Bancroft is beyond the reach of
such hostility, being firmly seated in his pow
er for four years. He is friend of prog ress.
and an advocate of reform; and he has now a
fine opportunity for raising the character OF the
Department. and making it conform to. the
spirit of the present, rather than, as heretofore,
Of past ave.
