THE .NATTvE" PARTY.

The National Intelligencer is scolded by "a Phila-
delphia paper entitled the (" Native American" for
what said in il, the other day. of the utter alb
sence Of any necessity for separate political organ
zation on the part Of those who desire only fair
and practicable amendment of the naturalization
laws. We take this scolding without offence, be-
cause feel satisfied that none is intended by it
the object Of the writer obviously being to spur has
party, and not the Editors of this paper. More
than that, we willing to forward the purpose of
the writer, who aims to show that in our views of
this subject we differ widely from Wings elsewhere,
by publishing the evidence exhibited by him of what
he supposes to be the opposite views of the Wings
Of Philadelphia:
Resolued, That the third party which has sprung
up is not the Wing party, and on that ground is
{ not ours that it does not bear our name, avow
our principles, or maintain our measures that it
{ is local, temporary, and Of one idea, while the
Wing party is Of and for all our country, through
all times, and in all emergencies"
Now, for the satisfaction Of the organ of the Phi
ladelphia Native American party, we distinctly
state that there is not one word in this resolution
in which we do not entirely concur. No party I" of
one idea" can be the Wing party, whose principles
embrace all national interests, and uphold them ALL
and in whom it would be rank desertion of their
duty men and as citizens to sacrifice to any sin
gle one of those principles all the rest however
closely and inseparably intertwined with the Ma
tional prosperity and welfare.
If any one desires proof of what mischief to the
country party /" of one idea' is capable of ac-
complishing let him look at the results of the cleo
ton held on Wednesday in the city of Baltimore.

MARYLAND ELECTION.

We give below all the decisive information that
has yet reached us concerning the election for Re-
representatives. in Congress and Members Of the State
Legislature which took place in Maryland on We'd
nesday last There appears TO have been but little
excitement and the vote is meager one as COM
pared with that of last year.
In the Congressional district embracing the first
fifteen wards Of the city of Baltimore, we have
to regret that our apprehensons have been realized
in the loss of Mr.. JOHN p. KENNEDY, the late
able Wing Representative from that district by the
running against him of a Native American tick
ct which was effective in securing the election OF
Mr.. WILLIAM F. GILES, the Locofoco candidate.
The vote in this district was follows For Ken
nedy 1862, Giles $500, Duncan l,l47.
Partial returns from the third Congressional dis
trct comprising Baltimore and Carroll counties and
the five upper wards of the city Of Baltimore, which
is the strongest Locofoco district in the State, render
certain the election of Thomas w. LIGoN, Loco
foco, over JOHN WETHERED, the late Wing men,
Der. Mr.. WETHERED was elected to the last Con-
gress in consequence of division in the ranks OF
his political adversares and was prevailed upon TO
take the field this year Independent candidate.
The accounts from the counties show that there
was great apathy among the Wings there, which
has lost several countless and rendered it doubtful
which party will be in the majority in the House
of Delegates. There was no election for the State
Senate except in Cecil to fill vacancy, where
Mccullough Q.ocofoco) has been chosen. The
next Senate will therefore consist of IA Wings and
Locofocos.
We have no returns Of Congress from the 9th
district, composed of Talbot Dorchester, Somer-
set, and Worcester counties we suppose, how
ever, that the Wing candidate Edward H. Long,
is elected. The candidates elected from the other
districts are as follows:

Extract from Letter from an Intelligent gentle
man an PHILADELPHIA, October IL

In regard to the Tariff question, it appears clear my
mind that the Wings desire get Of the Govern
nent and country, they should fold their arms and without
the slightest resistance permit the party power down
the duties on imports to an average OF 20 per because
such tariff bill would strike fatal blow the great nie
rests of the people, matter what may be their occupation
and in that event. in $780, there would be great rcvou-
lion in public sentiment the result of which would be in favor
of Wing NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. which all know revived
within the last three years all branches OF business But
the Wings desire to the country prosperous and happy
without reference to the succession they should by the
tariff Of 1912 long there shot in the locker In my
humble opinion, the Mexican-Texas question: Oregon
question, and all other questions whether foreign domestic

PRESIDENT TYLER AND THE PRESENT
ADMINISTRATION.

The Philadelphia American Sentinel, attributing
the result of the late Presidential Election TO Presl-
dent TYLER and his friends, openly reproaches the
present Administration with reachery in failing to
execute their part Of the implied contract by which
the good Offices Of the one party were to be COM
pensated with good offices by the other party.
1--WE think" says the Sentinel " that great in
Justice has been done to many Of the friends of
President TYLER, who CALAMITY assisted in the
achievement Of the late important victory Of the
Democr tic party. We well remember that when
the friends of President Polk were earnestly en-
deavoring. at a period Of great darkness and un-
certainty, to ride out the storm, the friends Of Pre-
sident Tyler came to the rescue. And after the
threatened vessel had reached the desired haven,
it was certainly act of treachery Tor those who
had been thus CALAMITY aided, to turn upon these
friends in need, repudate their services. and throw
them overheard"

The comet of short period, which returned to its

at the Philadelphia High School Observatory on the

position north of the sun more favorable for OBJ

than compensated for this advantage and for the
possession of superior telescopes. The three obser-
