+ " answer 'he boCoioco party. IL there
is any honor or any dlshonor about il, they
are entitled to the credit of the movement.
We say this, inoriag ,ohai zoe utter. And
now, for the proof. We quote from author
Tty that no Democrat will deny. We refer
to time, to the papers, 10 everything that
Is necessary to make the evidence complete
and overwhelming.
The NativeAmericah movement first com
mcnced in New York, in the fall ofIs43.-
Certain Locofocos thought the Locofoco
council of that day was giving too many of
The small Offices Of that city to Irishmen.-
They wanted the places themselves, INST as
IS now the case among the Locorocos of
Hamilton county, and because ,hey could
not get them they boted, and determined
they wonId not vote for foreigner for any
office. Bitter qnarrels ensued, and person.
violence was the order Of the day. To
prove that this difficulty was Of purely Lo-
cofoco origin, we quote from the Washing
ton Glole, Of November 10, lS43. This
paper was, at that time, the organ of the
Locofoco party of the nation. Read the
following:

"The great split in the party, occasoned
by the offence taken by portion of It at the
conduct OF The Democratic City Council,
which was charged with giving more than
due share o'the Offices toInaturalized citizens
has not come up TO the calculations of its
authors. The Nqtire Republican, party as it
was called, by the diversion Of f'om 5000 Ia
5000 Uotrs tram the regular tichet TO one of
ttsop1 ct00sia7, lost 10 The D.mocracy too of
fts str0Hgar 1rgrds, and the secession lost the
Democrats the sheriff and some Assembly
. men, and bad we'll nigh defeated the whole
ticket.''
The National InteHigsncer intmated that
the Wings had lost by the Native merican
ticket. The Globe denied it and said (samo
days
"This statement of the National TpteIli-
gencer, of this morning., is directly in the
teeth Of the truth, az admitted by the journ-
ais Of its own party in New York, is in con-
tradctiJn OF the notorious fact that the ,cqrds
N which The NatiUe Republican ticket obtained
mGjori!ics, and hrelc n DeraOcracv in the uli-
nOrity, haze, on ALL OCCASIONS, PROVED TO
BE AMONG THE STRONGEST DEMOCRATIC
WARTS IN New York, and it is in conflict
with the circumstances which are known to
have given birth to tue sch;sm in the Democ-
racy, viz: Dissatisfaction iritA portion of IL
to the employment giren TO the adopted citizens
by the Democratic City Councils. The pur-
pose of the Native Republicans, was, to
push other Democrats favorable to their
views agsinst those whom they accused Of
disappointing them. WHIGGERY VOTED ITS
OWN TICKET"
The GLOBE predicted that the Native Re-
Publicans would vote for the Locofoco can.
didate for President.
"Who can doubt that, when the local eb-
u! lion against the Democratic city councils,
| IN consequence ofthe implied mal-adminis-
stration Of its Patronage, shall have subsi-
ded,. and the simple question is, shall we
take the nomination of the most avowed
and unfiinching Federalist, or our own true
hearted Democrat, cheated, and prosecuted
for his fidelity to the cause OF popular rights

privileged monopoly who can doubt, we
say, that the present Democratic majority
will be swelled By at least as many thousand
r0tes as are Hop counted on the split ticket
Giobs, Nor. 10, 1913.
The New York correspondent Of the Globe.
wrote as follows:
"The Native American ticket polled at
least sic thousand potes, fve-sixths of which
came from the Democratic party. That
ticket (the Native American,) obtained ma
Fjorities in two Of the strongest Democratic
wards in the city, the 9th and llth.
/ Thew went off from the Democratic party on
account of the city corporation, (Which is
/ Democratic, you Know haTTng given many
OF the lolrer Offices of the city, such as uqtch-
man, dc, 10 the Irish, and the show of the
day makes the Native born Democrats who
are poor, feel their grievances keenly. do
not believe that the city authorities have
given an undue number of the Offices to the
Irish. But the poor classes lcho lcant these
ogtces think so, and that is enough to make
them cast their votes as they dd."-GloJe,
Aou. 10, 1913.
The Evening Post. the organ of Locofoco-
ism in New York city, thus spoke of the re-
suit of The same election-( From the Globe
of same teteJ
"Fhe' vote of the Native Americans is
much larger than we supposed it would be.
The butchers mostly, who have
hitherto been known as sturdy Democrats,
voted that ticket. We see therefore by whose
votes the regular Democratic ticket has fail

is the votes of men who are lcih US on the
main question of State policy, who are with
us on the Presidential question, and who will
be with US hereafter. The result lie, in no
manner, with regard to any of the candf-
dates, Whig triumph"
Here is the evidence. We challenge any
man to turn to the GloJe of that date, and
examine for himself And what is the con-
cluson to which the mind is forced! Is it
not established, beyond the shadow Ofa
doubt, that the Native American party or
iginated with the Locofocos!
/ In conclusion we ask, is it not shameful,
dispraceful in the last degree, for a party
that is proven TO have originated upon this
exclusive idea which even to this day ex-
cIudes Catholics from holding office in the
Democratic State of New Hampshire, to
pretend to force their own bantling on the
