T-A writer in the Worcester Transcript ofFri-
day inmaies, in the peculiar style, OF that puper that
we Published ialsehood Thursday, when we
stated that the North american Resieg is lead
ing organ of The whie party, and that Professor
Bowen, its editor, is a whg.
To prove that we were guilty. as alleged by the
veracous Transcript, that sheet informs the public,
on its own responsibility, that "Professor Bowen is
not the Wing party"
Now we never said that ''Bowen is the wing par
y." We never supposed, base as heis, that he rep,
resented fully the baseness which is concentrated in
the leaders of the Whig party. Bowen only rep
resenls feature of whiggery-the aristocrat-
ic feature. Herepresents that element Of the party
which hates civil and political liberty He, in the

He was nominated 8 years ago by the wings to one
80 orthe most responsible and important educational
offices in the State and when the Coalition refused
to confirm HIM this position, where he could mis-
lead and corrupt the minds Of the youth of this Com
monwealth, the wings espoused his cause as their
own-- defended his faIsfcaiuns Of history, and in
dorsed the principles Of desposm which he sustain

nent whig,' took occasion. in the Constitutional
Convention, To assume the championship Of this
Bowen, whose affection for Austrian despotism made
him rejoice in the subjugation of Hungary, and who
proposes to make slaves Of all those who flee 10
this country from that Tyranny which our Pilgrim
Fathers fled from, and to overthrow which their de.
scerdanis pledged their lives, their fortunes, and
their sacred honor
Bowen is not the Wing party, but he is one Of its
elements, and it would not be complete in its pres
eel state without him, and those whose senti-
ments coincide with his.
The Transcript fippantly asks US, "who they are
that, last Summer, in Convention, were so much
afraid Of The foreign population Of the large towns
and cities, that they have formed a Constitution,
with the express and unbIushugly avowed purpose
of deprving that class Of citizens Of their due share
in the government We do not know Of any such
persons, nor did we ever hear Of any such absurd
purpose. We have yet to learn that "loreigners''
have any share whatever in the government. No
body, SO far we know, has any share in our GOV.

no matter where he was born; therefore, 10 make
Constitution topriyirg the 'loreign population of
their DUE share in the government, would be about
as rational as TO expect truth from the Worcester
Transcript. II would be simply absurd, for they
have no share whatever. 1t happened, however,
through The operation of the present Constitution of
this saie, that men were sent TO the Legislature, by
the Wing voters Of the large cities, ostenshly to
represent the foreigners dwelling in them when, in
fact, they misrepresenled them-when, in act, they
belonged to party, one Of whose leading organs
proposes to make slaves Of them. 1t was proposed,
by the Ielormers in the Convention, either TO abolish
this fictitious representation, or to make it real, by
giving the foreigners votes. The senior editor Of
this paper distinctly stated, in the Convention, in
answer 20 the question Of prminent Wing, that,
so far from dislrusting the foreign population, he
would confer the right Of suflage upon every
man who declared his intention TO become citizen
OF The United States. The relormers had fears
Of the foreign populations but they not willing
that they should be made the basis Of false repre-
senIaiion-lhey not willing that they should
be voted for by others, and those others their nvet
crate enemies. who now wish to make slaves Of
them. The foreign population understand this, and
when they become citizens, aud have the right to
vote, they usually vote against the Wings. They
are not TO be deceived by the "Royal Wings" who
express their yranical sentiments through the North
American Review and Worcester Transcript.
