by one principle only, that Of strict adherence
to Socialistic and Desical opinions, The two
last mentioned class Of artists are fortunately
for u.s. birds Of passage, as they are of prey.
Doubtless there arc many among them worthy
men, but not sufficient to be classcd as any
other than "thc exceptions that prove the
tue;" and thus viewing the alien by a
'Dcmocrat's' advice, We think for principles
of morality they deserve little consideration
and that in defence of or "aliars and our
fires" strict supervision should he held over
this mass, and that our present naturalization
laws are insufficient to accomplish this
beneficcnt end Who that has ever lived in
thronged city, where most they congrcgatc,
will deny that this is not the correct repre-
scntaton of facts; and would ask are these
the men to claim the sympat!ics Of great
party, or is it Wings OF Democrats. that do
not cry we want Rcform-Poitical Reform
and a restoration of our liberties from
prostitution to the vagarics of foreign paupcrs
and infidcls.
| Nor is this demand made nore especially
by the whigs-(for inysc!C, identified with
no party, can only claim TO he a "looll2r Oh
in Venice.') Father it may be considered a
natural onshcott to the mal-govcrnmcnt Of the
present administrations: who first diSgu"tcd
all men, especially Of their ow.. party, by
the appointments Of Soulc, Sanders and 9TH
crs-worthy partners as they have proved
hcmsllves;-and will Americans justify the
course they have pursued. The most go'i
Gus triumph Of diplomacy would hardly
throw into shade the ignomny of their con-
shame doubly palpabc Could they point

dcavors with Piercc's Instructions that in

next campaign, and the adlitonal st0' added
to our National ensign might shed a lustrc

your synpathics so freely on that noble
band under Fillmore. probably because they
are in the minority remember the words CT
a great ancient politician "conSueSSe eata

lated: "Providence sometimes clcvatcs those

1t may appear nyidious to pass over the
general invitation EXTENDED 10 the Wings,
to enter the ranks Of Democracy as the only
ark that en- safely ride the sea cf political
agitation. 1t is for wings to reply practical

the alarms excited by the recital of those
her ors to come for myself, there still remains
sufficient confidence in the ballast Of our OK
ccllcnt constitution to preserve the "Ship Of

the substitution of a refined materialisn for

secret organizations, but this secrecy vas the
initiative measure only. The party stands
