 MIsRFPREsEETATIoHs BY BRITISH TORIES The outcry which was ra,sed by ihe friends nf Mir. Clay against foreigners, upon the result of the Pres deIal election, was immediately echoed by the Tory Journals in Eng land, and sOw comes back 10 he seized upon by whig journals in thls country as evi- dence of "Bruish v,ews" Tba editor of ihe Liver pool Mail would make first rate Native American, well Whg, in this country, although in bis own he may be an Emglishman and Tory. The follow ing paragraph, from his paper of November 30h, will establish our l,st remark:
 ''The false, it not fraudulent, principle upon which the American constitution is founded is year by year sinking the fpi,nbc deeper ia the mue. FoI instance it is the Aaw arre that every foreigner who has II 'A his power, by means Of Il declaration, to | hec' free citizen, and vote in the elecious- The Anefica's thlnght this wise policy at the nenc lnent of iher Independence. on the principle, Flat having stolen the properly of their king, they had an equal right to steal hs any other king 5 | .ubjec-. IL E an adage that stolen property never ihrises-neve,, in lhe end, benefits ,he thief; and the AmericaIis have length discovered this o be a fact. For nasy years, tens of thousands of Irish men, Germans. Poles, and other foreigners. have landed On theIt shores, vast proportion of them in rags, hungry and homeless, ready ofcourse, to wo, beg, tight, Hr do any thing for dish of potatoes, Il | slice of pumpkin pie, and draught of sour cider. | These nen have become electors; and they aie moi | only formidable in poni of numbers, buI, what is more to the pnpose, every mans vote IS worth from len to fifteen votes in all the large towns. They con seQuentlv carry all the elections by force and fraud These statements mere enargemen,s upon the texts furnished by whig papers immedialely afier election. According to 'Briiish views" our iorefa- hers- stole King George's land, and steal ing his Maiesly's subiects But as stolen pr"pert, never thrves, it gives the Tory some comfort that the "stolen subjects" have absolutely taken posses sion of our government and "car,y all fhe elections | by force and trauCi"
 But the Mail has caught the very name of the Ma tpes, as well as ler spiril and he gives them a high | rank our society. He goes the full length of the most rabid Natp in his remedy, far ouistrpping most of the party in this country. Bui le, him speak | for himself:
 "The native Americans, of ihe more reputable class, complain of this and lament it. IL IS lamenta | ble indeed-ills dsgraceful-t Is deuaoralizing, but they have right 10 complain, for they or their fa | tbers framed the code of laws under which this vii. ainv, in the first place, and canker worm now, was introduced into the republic. They deeply feel the evil, hut afraid they have not the courage, il they have tho power, to provide remedy. The 0R- | y eflectual cure would be to pass law that none shall be allowed to exercise the political franchise who cannot prove that they natural born citizens of the United States. Fms, of course, would cause | d commoiion--a sort of Irish rebellion-perhaps some burning and bloodshed. But until some such law is passed the republic will continue te sink in the estimation of all intelligent men, and become more and more odious in the eyes of the world."
 The concluding paragraph of the Mail furnishes a
 
 | CEv, who was ssrespectedby the BITTER PORTION | of tue Amercans"-by ihe Lords of the Loom-lhe Bauk Barons-and all that class of psese1o oaristo- erats. he has been rejected and Mir. Polk, who "be- longs the Jackson and slave faction of the South'' who is openly pledged in favor of the annexation of Texas, and who is not known in Europe, has been elected. The hafconceaed menace couched in the 'doubtiul war" expression as well as ibe malicious insinua,on ps to our public faith, will excite no olh- CT than feelings of scorn and indignation in the bo- sons of all patriots. Bnt the paragraph will rom. mand the proper commentary from the reader:
 "Mr. Clay was universally respectfully the better portion of the Americans, as man of moderate opi- nions, excellent business habits, and concaiory manners. Besides, he was well known Europe, has long been before the public, active legislator, and chasiened by years and experience. Who Mir. Polk Is we may guess from his supporters He evi | denly belongs to the Jackson and slave fac ton of the south, whose uncuncealed designs up on Texas are for the purpose of manufacturing two States of that envied territory, and iurn- ing the balance in favor of the slave owners both in | the House of Representatives and in the Senate. If heoand his party are bent upon wresllng Texas for such purpose, ,-ll can ouly be done at The expense of doubtful war, for which we suspect the republic can Ill spare the means. Before any dollars ex pended upon an invasion and robbery of this kind, would suggest the pfoprety of first paying their | European creditors"
 A s.douLsfaf war'' indeed-Great Brtaia cannot make it ssdoubifu!' We know what our county men ha,s done, and they able able do iI,e same | thing aeaIn. a . IHro'I
