| As scarcely ever see the New-YoIk PebeIan,
IIlst IIuin yuGl paper OF ruudy last, inat
that paper had attempted t. deny some Of the pc
stions which had taken in my last letter 1t ap-
pears from your paper OF Thursday morning last,
that the Pebcian denies the truth Of my assertion
that it had attacked Mr. Clay as an enemy of
Nutivism." BY turning 10 your pager Of Monday
last you will see that only stated that had been
fol3 tia, the Plebean "coEGen'ned Mr.. Clay for
advocating tie rights OF naturallzed citiz-ns and
Catholics in this Republic" This | understand
The Plebeian 10 deny Now let us 90 TO tbs record
have just been favored with glance al file of
the PIebel2n. In that paper OF Oct. 5, 1871 on the
second column, Is long editorial. IN which II Is
acknowledged, that IN Philadelphia, Lancaster
Chester, Delaware, &c. large number OF the VA
Jlves were members OF the Democratic party-and
that . Henry Claws vote will be fully % coo less
than the vote for Markle," because the Natives
would so for MaTkle but could not support Dir. Clay
In Tie Plsbeian OF Oct %, 1914, on the second
column is an editorial article stating that las the Ma
i've American procession OF the previous evening
passed Tammany Hall, there were gwen Loud,
long and strong cheers for Polk and Dallas, Wright
and Gardiner
In the me paper (Oct. -, ISL on the third
column, IN another long editorial, the following;
sentence occurs:
Erery man attached to the yatire party not IRON ne

The Plrbeian then quotes extract from Mr.
Clay's letter 10 the Rev d. \. Gallitzln IN which
ne condemns Natiyisn, and an extract from his
speech on the American System IN praise OF the
NaIuralzed citizens, and concludes BY an appeal 10
the Native" citizens 10 vote against man who
used such language.
Again, in The Plebeian of Oct. %, 1874, appears
glowing description OF a meeting OF Natives, whose
names I'll nearly column OF that paper, l500 r-
Rsring unpublished, who pledged Themselves 10
vote against Mr. Clay and Tor Polk.
IL the Pebeian OF October SOFA, 1874, in the third
column, the Editor again quotes Nj Clay's eulosy
on the NGIuralIzed Citizens IN his American Sys-
tcm' speech, and also from speech delivered by
Mr.. Clay IN Congress, March 20 ana 81, lS2i, IN
defence OF The Catholics, who had been unJusIly al
tackled By gentleman from Democratic Virgin
A:ier quoting these liberal opinions OF NJ. Cay,
Tie Plebeian cOnclsdes the article IN these words:
