Or. Moore. ESQ.

o. y. Moore! Esq,
4 As this gentleman has takenso much pains
70 deny that the wings. as general thing,
were in favor Of the Native American move
ment, and in his speech at the Whits Bear,
Hotel endeavored 10 fix Natiyesm upon the
Democratic party, of course, he will excuse
Us for informing The adopted citizens Of this
community how he stands upon that ques-
lion.
On the night Of the State election, when
the returns of Wayne township had besn
counted out, democrat, whose name we
have, and whose affidavit (ss well as that Of
several others) to the truth Of what we state
can be obtained, stepped into the Mayors
Office and told Mr.. Moore tina. Wayne town
ship gave only fourteen of majority for the
wings, and asked "Who's tainted now Pr
Mr. Moore aDgrily replied;
by Cd, as long as the courts are per-
mittod to manufacture potsrs the whigs might
as acell gipc ap%
Now, who wo, Id have supposed, from the
speech of Mr.. Moore at the White Bear tav
ern, that such were his sentiments? "As
long as the courts are permitted 10 manifac-
turs poters!' Does Mr.. M. look forwardito
a time when the proposition Of Gen. Scott to
repeal all laws upon the subiectAyill prevail
and forever prevent the courts llpm manu-
featuring voters ?" Who can doubt il, if he
desires. like every whig does. ths success Of
his party?
We make this statement out no disre-
spect to Mr.. Moore, (althoughhe has thought
proper, as we are informed, OF several occa.
sions during the campaign, to pllude to and
criticize us severely but when he attempts
10 impose on democratic voters,--to throw
on the shoulders Of democrats weight which
Gen. Scott, and the whig party now carry
we will not be silent even if we gain his dis
pleasure in bringing his name before the pub
lie. AKA.

Enthusiastic Meeting of the Democracy
In the First Wardi
On Monday it was noised about that o. F
Moore, Esq, would deliver an address OF
that evening at the White Bear tavern
At the time appointed an immense crowt
assembled and Mr.. Moore began his speech
We will state for the information of lhos,
who may not be aware of the fact, that th'
first ward of this city is strongly democratic
being largely populated with Germans. Tb'
object OF the meeting, therefore, was not Il
be mistaken. 1t was TO bamboode the Ger
man voters into the support Of the man whit
was ''fired with indignation" at the votiu,
of adopted citizens. BUT, we guess th'
whigs caught tartar. The people under
stood their intention and indignation wa
manifest Oh the brow of every honest Ger
man present. But few weeks had elapse
since The wings cursed and abused them
calling them the "back Dutch" and wishin
tina. every one Of them had been hung a

marks before he found out where he had miss

lii the meantime, Capt. Kennedy, tn

thinking he had as good right to speak fc

{ Scott, bounced into cart across the stree
and made flaming Free Soil speech.
: Mr.. Vallery, oerman, and Sheriff {
