BosToN FOREIGNERS" The takers
of the city census, under express
instructions, class native born persons,
whose fathers we're foreign born, under
the head of Foreigners" We know
one young man, Boston born, and
married to a Boston born wife, classed
as a foreigner, after the facts we're
stated to the census taker, who said
he had no discretion in the
matter. This mode of swelling up
the roll Of foreigners, will make a
false result of at least ten thousand
more than the true number in the
city.-Post.

A LAWYER SUsPENDED.-A limb Of
tho law named Perrin was suspended
from the Boston Bar on Friday, until
June next, for malpractice. It seems
that Perrin was defending a large
number of rum-sellers, and fearing
his case was hopeless, approached one
OF the jurymen and remarked to him
shat they both belonged to the
same political party, and that he
should rely upon him. thata disagree
ment of the jury was just as good us
an acquittal.'

Let the Truth be Spoken.

The sin Of the foreign vote is IN
pardonable-it is potent. The truth
has not escaped the keen eyes Of the
Federal inquisition-it has not failed
to excite the unscrupulous opposi
ton of Wing politicians = covetous of
power.
"Preter IAPERIUM nullius ayaris."
This, then. is the truth-it is the
old case of Haman and Mordecai, the
Jew in the Kings gate. The FOR
EIGN VOTE IS DEMOCRATIC! 1t has
ever been ecer true 10 tie South
This is the sin of our naturalized
citizenship. To crush this influence
never exerted adversely to the in
terests Of the Republic-this new
party has arisen. Singularly true to
their adopted country, these natural
lied citizens appeal in vain to the
evidences of patriotism-to the ar
my-roll and the battle-felds Of the
nation. In vain they point to the
bones of their brethren fallen on the
bloody fields of liberty, from the
heights of New England to the plains
of Mexico. DEMOCRACY is their
SIN fidelity to the constitutional
rights Of the South their distin-
suished enormity. 81 never saw"
said John Randolph, "the man who
aver saw man, who SAID he ever saw
l man that eusr saw an Irish tory!'.
No, no! DEMOCRACY is tile only sin of
our foreign.born citizenship-true,
unsectional, unselfish

A WIG TRIcK.-Weare frequently
asked how we know or what author.
ty we have for contending that Know.
Notbingism is Wing trick. We
answer that it has absorbed nearly
all Of the old whig party, and that
its principal leaders are or used to
be aspiring Wings, and having no
chance of promotion as such, have
seized upon this new delusion for the
purpose of riding into office and
power. This is our reason for be-
lieving it whig trick. The declara-
ton made by Democrats in their re.
nunciations of the secret order, where
in they uniformly affirm that tits de-
vice of the enemies of the Democratic
party to break it DOWNS our author
ity for stating that it is Wing trick.
These things added to other ominous
outgivings, are toour mind condem-
nation strong as proofs Of holy writ,
that it lisa Wing trick Of the deepest
dye.

An effort has recently been made to intro

they may creep into circulation somewhat,

MESsRS. EDITORS:
! notice that for several days past the
Frening Times has been engaged in the
christian labor Of whtewashing and cover
ing over the sins Of its particular pet, Gov.
shannon Of Kansas, and denies that he is in
favor Of slavery in that Territory. Denials
are cheap. and very properly resorted to
when there is no proof in affirmative, but in
this case will not satisfy the American peo-
pie, or even the readers of the Times. Now
# GOV. Shannon is not in favor Of slavery
in Kansas, why does he declare voluntarily
his intention to enforce, even at the point Of
the bayonet, the unconstitutional gag laws
and bloody edicts OF the foreign Legislature
of that Territory? Surely none but lover
Of slavery would be base enough to ATTEMPT
the enforcement of the acts of an. illegal
Legislature, declaring an honest expression
OF feeling felony. None but corrupt ty-
rant would for moment admit the power

putably Illegal 10 pronounce the pains and
