We wish IL were possible 10 oisUioale Nhe VI Son
!! of our expiring Common Council where Inc Peo-
ple generally could read it-not that we "ouid VIII
TngIv condemn our fellow citizens 10 such an m
a;c,;o, for any considerable tIme-not al al with
a,,, ,r,eot reasons AT this moment, however, II
:. r,o.t desirable that New-York should know what
sot of men direct her public councils, what is thei'
of intellect and what their elevation OF pur-
nose To this end, few days perusal of the
American Republican would strikingly contribute
The last issue OF that delectabe sheet ma. nearly
column of Editorial drivel about the Greeley
gang Earl Greeley, and such drivel IN reference
TO the approaching Charter Election Our reason
for opposing the Native movement ls thus sfanoi''-

In life In which they stareA-hat they evnce thef eb'
omed hostility 20 the unprecedented growth OF pure
can principles. The men Of the Tribune are nov
fighting for their bread, &c &c -
Now we don't remember that the Natives, win
all their good will for IT, have been aoie 10 oePli'e
ys of anv natronagc beyond the $500 per annum
which the Corporation (Whig or Loco-f0co) LOT I,
ne,lv paid US in common with all other papers oi
decent circulation, for publishing all the CITY Ad
vrr,isenents; and we have now more Advertise
men,s thar we can publish al five times the prce
the CITY paid u.s. This exhibition of Native lloer-
aljtv. therefore, though it was plainly detrimental
10 the Citv's interests, was not at all so TO ours.
And we defy Nativi:rn TO take any thing more
from US.
And b.o;des, the Corporation hnrdy- -Rnrdy con-
stantly asserting that the Whigs have no chance OF
succesS-tha, the contest is entirely between the
Natives and old Tammany, from neither oi which
parties can we expect or ask any thing We ask
every sensible man to Judge, therefore, whether
paper which subssts on Corporation Job work and
advertising looks well engaged IN twittng US OF our
supposed wants and necessities. Was any man, OF
any party, ever asked TO contribute dollar or give
any Corporation patronage 10 sustain The Tribune
Never Whenever our voluntary patronage does
no, sustain this paper ii Will only ask Of friends OF
enemies a decent burial. How has IL been with
our accuser?
The American Republican at length founders
into this aPpeal:i
"whgs Of New-York. you who, with u.s. would rally 10
the rescue Of your country from foreign donnailo can
you will you your knees and bend your necks TO the
IDOL deity of The Trbnef Are you content to let that
cormorant journal swallow you and your freedom OF op-
on and love Of country, down into their omivorous
naws2 VIII You tamely bear the taunts and scofn oil
men who work alone for wealth and aegrandze-
men, whom you have e1 and fittencd by your bounty
and who sustain their pesterous payer and put money
in their pockets would hand you soul and body to
the foreign around and IN country
for lis Destruction We think not"
1t is very plain on the surface of things that the
Natives have no confidence in thrir own principles
| or their own strength. They are etcmally sneak
ing into their neghbors' camps, and trying 10 carry
off what does not belong 10 them. We do not ask
them to vote Tor our candidates; why do they not
stand on their own ground, and ask votes for their
candidates on that ground? Butt Fhigs, Dem
ocrats, every thing but Natives, are begged and
ccaxed to vote for Mayor Harper and the oily
Common Council. Messieurs Corporation officers
you will find that this burrowng game has been
played out already! The Wings will not be
cheated again
