The Native American movement hrst COM
usenced in New York, in the fall ls42. Ger,
taiu Locofocos thought the Locofooo council
of that day was giving too many OF the small
Offices Of the city to lrishmen. They wan
Ted the places themselves, just as is now the
case among the Locofocos OF Hamilton eoun-
8 ~. and because they could not get them
they bolted, and determined they would not
vote for foreigner for any office. Bitter
qaarrels ensued, and personal violence was
the order of the day. To prove that this dltl-
Guilty was ofpurely Locofoco origin, We quote
from the Washington Globe, of November
10. 1913 This paper was, at that time the
6rgan Of the Locofuco party OF the nation

conduct OF the Democratic City Council,

Eens has not come up to the calculations OF
its authors The Native Republican party
as it was called, by the diversion OF from g.
600 to 5000 votes from the regular ticket
TO one of its own choosing, lost to the De-
mecracy two Of its strongest wards, and the
secession lost the Democrats the sheriff and
3 some Assembly men, and had well nigh de-
feated the whole ticket"
The National Intelligencer intimated that
the Wings had lost by the Native American
( ticket. The Globe denied it, and said (same
dny)
@This statement of the National 1ntelgen-
GER of this morning, is directly in the teeth
of the truth, as admitted by the journals OF
its own party in New York, is in contradic-
tion Of the notorious fact that the wards in
which the Native Republican ticket obtained
Fnaiorities, and threw the Democracy IN the
minority, have, on all occasions, proved to be
among the strongest Democratic wards IN
New York, and it is in conflict with the cir
cumstanees which are known to have given
birth to the schism in the Democracy, viz:
dissatisfaction with a portion of it to the em-
pIoyments given to the adopted citizens by
the Democrats City Councils. The purpose
Of the Native Repu hlicans. was, topush other
Democrats favorable to their views against
those whom they accused of disappointing
them. Whiggery voted its own ticket!
The Globe predicted that the Native Re-
pubIicans would vote for the Locofoco can
didate for President
@Whe can doubt that, when the local ebul-
Iition against the Democratic city councils, in
consequence of the implied mai -admlnlstra-
lions Of it's patronage shall have subdued, and
the simple question is, shall we take the nom-
ination Of the most avowed and unfinching

crat, cheated, and persecuted for his fidelity

present Democratic majority will be swelled
BY at least as many thousand votes as are
now counted on the split tieket?-(Globe,
Nov. 10, ls43.
The New York correspondent of the Globe,
wrote as follows:
..The N alive American ticket polled at least
ear thousand Votes, iye-sixths Of which came
from the Democratic party. That ticket (the
Native American,) obtained majorites in two
OF the of the strongest Democratic wards in
the city, the 9Ih and 11th. They
went of from the Democratic party on &C
count of the city corporation, (which is Dem
ocratic, you kac=l having given many Of the
Eower Offices Of the city, such as WdtchnldR, DC

undue number of the Offices to the Irish

The Evening Post, the organ Of Locofoco
ismin New York city, thus spoke o
the same election.-( From the Globe of tht
same date.
@The vote ofthe Native Americans is muci
larger than We supposed it would be-
The butchers mostly, who have hitherto beer
known as sturdy Democrats voted that tick
ct. We see therefore by whose votes thu
regular Democrrtic Ticket has failed in re
gard to some of the candidates. 1t is tht
votes OF men who are With US on the mali
questions of State policy, who are with US oil
the Presidential question, and who will b
with us hereafter. The result is. in no man

Here is the evidence We challenge an.
man to turn to the Globe Of that date, ant
examine for himself And what is the con
clusion to which the mind is forced? Is
not established, beyond the shodow of
doubt, that the Native party originated will

In conclusion We ask, is it not shameful. dis
