The way the Shadow fallS-MOFemeAt
among Foreigners
The expressions pouring in upon us from
Almost every section Of our State are, indeed,
cheering and significant Scarce mail but
that some new disaffecton in The heretofore
"sold Democracy, ,"is brought to light-some
new revelations of disgust with the principles
and practices of that Democracy. Heretofore,
l'the Irish and Germans, seeming content with
the name Democratic, have acted with the
Locotoco party, because they deemed that
Party at war with tyranny and aristocracy,
and friendly to the emancipation of the poor
and oppressed. Through long years they
have insisted upon misconStrueiion of Wing
principles, ana by the teachings of dema-
gogues. have iabored under the gross mistake
! Of supposing the Wing party allied to aristoc-.
racy and exclusiveness. But, as might be in
ferred, this deception could not always be
practiced; and now the politics Of our country
begin to assume a new light, by the revulsive
act!on Of these very mssses. Everywhere
there 10 a suspicion among them thst they
have been deceived, and the intelligent among
them begin to learn that they have pressed
an adder to their own bosoms, when they see
the whole English Press declare for the very
Party and men they have heretofore kept in
power by their influence and votes The
mask has fallen from their professed friend,
and they End that friend allied to British pol
icy and British interests-to the very people
who have enslaved their poor country and
would enslaYe them had they the power
And this knowledge of the deception SO long
practiced, is stirring up the Irish heart to re-
sentiment; they abhor the very name of Eng
lishmen, and when they fnd the Locofoco
party hand-in-hand with these very enemies,
ID is not strange that they cry out against
them. The speech of VIZ. E. RoBISsoN first
came TO his fellow eountrymen as warning,
aud it was not long ere they responded to it
by published letters, in every section of the
Union. One says; 81 am = friend to relig.

echoed, until, as we said, scarce mail but
that we have some farther communication
from the injured and disafected Irish.
But the Irish are not alone IN this reaction
sry movement. A short time since We re-
corded the fact of twenty Germans Of Cincin-
matt having come out for the Whig nominee.
Thursday We added three hundred and ffty-
SAG more who have publicly attested their
disgust with the SO called Democracy, and
have left the ranks Of that Democracy; to-
Gay we could add still further to the number

Now what conclusion can we draw from
this movement of the foreign citizens? Is it
not the upper current Of tide that is NOV
ing on silently, vet surely, to wEelming of
the detestable Free Trade Party? The man.
ner in which she movement in Hamilton is
viewed BY the whole Locofoco press, shows
their anxiety for the future. and We cannot
but feel cheered BY the prospects of that fu-
ture.
To our Irish Wings and German friends we
say then, "Be up and doing" Do your duty
