FOR THE PRESIDENCY.
The Philadelphia Ledger of the 10th inst,
publishes the manifesto of the Native Ameri-
can movement in Pennsylvania. for the cleo
ion of Gen. Pierce to the Presidency over the
patriot Gen. Scott; who has incurred the
deadly hostily of these narrow minded bigots
for the. li5erality Of his views on the Natura-
lization Laws, and the position taken by the
Whigpress for Catholic Emancipation in New
Hampshire, and the equal rights Of Native
and Adopted Citizen. We append this
manifesto of the Philadelphia Church Burn
ers. verbatim ct iterdtina, as it appears.in the
Ledger, and commend its perusal to Demo
cratic Adopted Citizens throughou the coun
try:
TO THE INDEPENDENT MEMBERS
OF THE AMERICAN PARTYl-The
State elections have been held and very brief
space inIerVenes before the Presidential con-
test!
1t must be apparent to rejecting minds,
that the real issue of the struggle for sup
remacy, lies between the two prominent can
didates before the country, Gen. Pierce,
N | w in6eld Scott; and for one of these
Americans must vote or be disfranchised.
Entertaining the conviction that in the pres
ent crisis of public affairs, of the Wing and
Democratic parties, the Democratic party
is the most reliable, the most in earnest, to
maintain the integrity of the Union; with
out pausing to assign other causes, our indiVi-
dual preference are for Pierce and King, and
we shall, to the extent of our humble abilities,
end~avor to persuade our American friends to
unite with US at the promoting the success of
the democratic nominees, on the present oc-
casion.
In publishing these opinions, we are aware
they reflect only the sentiments of thousands
of Independent Americans, and so far from a
disposition to dictate others for whom they
should vote, we cheerfuIy abide the result
at the ballot box.

Gen. Peter Sken Smith, who signs the
above Document, few years age headed the
riotous mob which destroyed the Catholic
Churches in Philadelphia, and has been one
of the champions of the Native American
movement ever since it commenced. A more
proscriptIve and iIliberal bigot there is not to
be found in the length and breadth of this
free Republic more dangerous foe Of poll
tical and religious liberty cannot be produced
than this same Smith, aud his associates in
this Pierce Movement on the part of the
Native Americans, Beebe, Crap. Paynter.
Lears, Rhoads, Cameron, Miffin, Davis. and
Bragan. Crap is the editor the American
Standard, the central organ Of the Natives at
Harrisburgh; and James Cameron is one of
the Democratic party of Pennsylvania, and a
brother of Gen. Simon Cameron, ex-U. S.
Senator from that state. We understand
that Gen p S. Smith has just returned from
visi. To Gen Pierce in New Hampshire, and
has probably secured the promise of Gen. p.
of office and patronage to the leader of Penn
sylvania Galivsm If they shall work for Pierce
and King.
