Foreign Influence.

The anti-American presses throughout the
crountry have asserted and re-asserted that
could not be felt in any election. An examina-
ton Of the following statistics plainly exhibits
the controlling influence of the foreign votes
IN the cites therein named. The proportion
of voters in the two classes of votes is based
upon the established rule that one-seventh Of
the population are voters. This is true, with
regard to the native population. Among the
immigrant population the relative proportion
of females and children to the males is much
less than among the native population, conse-
quently the proportion of voters among the
foreigners is much greater than one-seventh;
but we have allowed them this advantage in

political mammon. This patriotic gentleman,
although, as we believe, he has NOT changed
his honest concictions on this subject, is found
a leader in this unpatriotic opposition. If he,
like many members Of the American party,
objects to its organization, why does he not,
like them, and like an honest politician would,
join in his efforts to carry out its principles,
end use his talents to correct its evilse He
well knows the difficulty Of forming party on
new issue he well knows that no party can
be formed without in its infancy, having some
Objectionable features in its modus operandi !;
he we'll knows that this is not important, as
the evils, if there be any, can, and will be corr
rected, and will not be injurious, to the inter-
ests Of the country, and he we'll knows that
the principles for which this party is fighting
are paramount to all minor questions of organ
ization, and that it is his duty, holding the
opinions that he does, to join heart and hand
in the good work. We ask all candid men to
think of this. Can native American citizens
trust such man? Can adopted citizens trust
him? Are they willing to place confidence in
him in preference to others, who boldly de-
clare their native American principles, and
guarantee their ''vested rights" to all citizens
whether native or adopted We think not.
Adopted citizens have community Of interest
with us. They are raising families, born on
the soil; their posterity alike with us are in
terested in resisting the baneful effects Of TO-
reign influence, and we believe the time will
come, if the present American party fails in its
efforts, when they will be among the loudest to
cry out for repeal or amendment Of the natur-
alization laws. There ase many of them now,
who see the necessity Of action in this matter,
and they are nobly working to bring it about.
God speed them in the good work, and we will
assist them iL ii with our might, with feelings
of pride that we are SO nohly sustained.

N. o. Bulletin, VS.. Clinton Quarantine.

A. j. Law, Sheriff of East Fe'iciana, died at
Clinton La,, last week Of yellow fever. He
contracted the disease at Port Hudson. His
death caused great panic in the town, and
"two-thirds Of the people left for the country"
So says the Democrat of the 25th. The Town
Council has passed an ordinance humanely i'm
posing fine of fifty dollars on any citizen
"who shall receive or permit to remain in his
or her house, any person or persons VINO shall
come from any place where the yellow fever is
prevailing" And this, too, in Louisiana! We
could not have believed it possible for such an
ordinance to pass the most benighted body
corporate within the limits of the State. The
Town Council of Clinton had better emigrate.
Suppose the fever should attack them, as in
Norfolk, and their neighbors should act in
this spirit? All "if, andif," said the farmer.
Bul
We feel greatly obliged to the erudite Editor
Of the N. O. "Bulletin" for the compliments he
has thought proper to bestow upon the mem-
bers of the Corporation of our village. The
ordinance of which he complains, was formed
for the protection of the citizens of this town,
and we will merely add-if the Elitor had
PASSED thro' the ordeal of the epidemic which
prevailed here in 1858, and which carried off
some 70 or 80 its population, he would proba-
bly, have considered the members of the ''Town
Council Of Clinton" in reality "6enighted,
if in their wisdom, they had not enacted the
precautionary regulations, which he fains to ri
dicue and dispise. Selfpreservation is the first
law of nature. Are there no Quarantine regu-
ations enforced in the city Of New Orleans
Perhaps the carping editor of the Bulletin
"had better emigrate" himself, and learn a
whit of that practical knowledge and expert
ence, which he seems to think the "benighted
members of the "town Council of Clinton
must be entirely destitute.

THAT WIG TRIcK.-IIon Wm R. Miles,
one of the old and able Whig leaders and ora
tors in Mississippi, has taken the stump against
Know -Nothingism and is canvassing the State.
He can see no relationship between the Whig-
gerry he preached on the stump in former cam
paigns and Know Nothingism, and therefore,
he opposes the latter. Thousands of "old
line Wings" in the State will be found acting
with them. Indeed in Southwestern Mississippi
the Wings denounce the new movement as a
democratic triot'-Creole.

The Way the Thing is Done.

The brag game of the nti-American con-
sisis in announcing Withdrawals from the
American Order, which are very often repro
duced, and published over and over again, for
effect. Many of these Withdrawals are entire
" bogus, as the following letter to the Alexan-
dria Rapides) Republican, conclusively proves
Crescent.
HINEsToN, La. Aug. %, 1856.
To the Editors of the Republican:
Conference.-The anti-American party have
crcu'a ated report that twenty -one members
of the Know Nothing party have withdrawn
their names from the wigwam at this place.
Such is not the case. We have had one to
withdraw, and the reason why he withdrew
from the party is because his father is for
eigner.
In the Louisiana Democrat, printed in Alex
andria on Wednesday, the 22d Of August,
there is a list of Withdrawals from the Know
Nothing party, and in that list are the names
Of three persons, and which three names,
propose to bet the person who had the lis. pub.
lished one hundred dollars that no such per.
sons ever joined the Know Nothing party in this
parish, and furthermore, that no such persons
as the three names published in that list ever
did live in this parish; and if he will bet me
two to one, l will bet that those three persons
named in the list never did live at all.

powerful to decide the contest between either
