THE TRUE AMERICAN.

Such is the name of new paper. the first num-
Der of which we find on our table. 1t is published
at Madison, by JOSEPH A. SoAERBr & Co, and
devoted. as its indicates, principally to the
interests Of the American party, Or Know Moth
ings We were not before aware that this new
organization had become numerous in Wis
consn as to be able to sustain paper, nor do we
now imagine that such is the case; AID unless
patronage is received from some other source
than from the members of the Order, IN this
State, it will undoubtedly be short lived.
The sentiments put forth in the editorials of the
True american are by means proscriptive OF
rabid but quite mild. The abuses of the elective
franchize, are not thrown much upon the
shoulders of Foreigners as upon american
demagogues Upon this subject the editor re-
marks:
we do not propose 10 make fnrei gners an
swerahle for the sins OF demagosues- American
demagogues are the men that have opened the
food gates of Anti -Arnericanism upon US, by
purchasing votes for themselves with offices OF
honor or profit, bestowed upon foreigners, very
many of whom were in every respect unqualI-
fed
Were il not for these .4rnolds these utterly
selfish and traitorous Spectators ~ the lives and
liberties of American Freemen, the present con-
test between the sons of America and foreign IN
fuences would not have an existence"
In the above remarks, there is certainly much
truth Americans themselves are most guilty in
these matters. AT every election, American citl-
gems are seen TO urge votes into the hands of
foreigners who they know are not voters, and
very many of them, through the influence of
Americans find their way into the ballot box, for
the purpose of swelling the vote of party. We
say let the blame rest upon the guilty ones, and
not upon those not sufficiently acquainted with
American institutions, to know that they are doing
wrong when thus casting, unconsciously, an lle>
gal vote.
