such thing, secondly, that the Journal piust have
known this; and, therefore, that it has intentionally
msrepresented the Courier "And yet, with these
facts before him" says the Courier "wh last

The Courier will find itself mistaken in ex pectng
asight Of the Journal article in the columns Of the
Tribune; but, in place Of the whole article, the Tri
bune has the following, which is enough to show
that the Courier was at least partially correct in its
conjectnres

course Of able and admirable reply TO The Courier

that the wings ever batted for rotten and loath-

divi,uals in Wall street, or elsewhere, may have
intended or desired the Tribune does not know;
nor is it material. The wing crank and file" fought
those battles in defence of a constitution outraged
in the highhanded acts by which the removal of the

prosperity, which those acts were legitinately cal.

This for the past; while, for the future, the Tr-
bune says:

We have given above fair epltome of the three
articles in the Courier, Journal and Tribune; upon
all of which we now desire to say word or two for
ourselves, independently of the controversy going
on between the three papers named.
We repudiate, altogether, the position of the Al
bany Evening Journal, that the wing party are
mitted 10 the naturalization laws they are. Ex-
perience has shown that many and gross frauds
have been committed under those naturalization
laws, and it is part Of our wing creed, at least to
advocate pure ballot-boX and just adminisra-
ton of the naturalization laws. We are no such
courtiers for foreign votes as to give TO foreigners
higher privileges than awarded TO our own
home born and home-abding people. What the
naturalization laws have DONE either by loo lib
cral construction Of those laws, or by faithIess ad
mnistration Of them, cannot now be remedied for
the future; but, for the future, we hold that Con-
gress is bound to amend these laws,-to confne the
naturalization to the courts Of the United Statcs
te divide the term of four years, SO that man shall
not vote for or two years after he has received
his naturalization papers; and not then, unless he
has been for The uhole term Of fire years pernla-
nently resident Of the United States. All this we
believe necessary to insure the purity Of the ballot
box.
As for the native American party, it bears within
itself the seeds Of political dissolution. party of

destroy others, but it never build up itself. The
Evening Journal says:

Bank Of the United States Having finally shaken ourselves
clear of that milestone let not tie another to our
necks.
We cannot answer for the experience of others.
The Journal may have defended "a rotten and oat!-
some benk, !" and il may have tied its neck TO such
milestone; but it has right to speak for others,
in relating it's own principles Of conduct. In the
West and South, tho wings defended a Bank of the
United States, because they not only believed such
