CHINESE BEGdARs. --Itappears that
New York contains number of Gee
lestials," who, having come to this
country as q theatrical company, have
been reduced to the condition of street
beggars. Why should there be an out
cry against these poor devils? They
came here with the honest purpose Of
instructing Americans in the merits Of
Chinese theatricals, and failed; and,
perhaps, they are like many would-bo
gentlemen, unused to work, and there
fore resolved to live at the expense Of
other people. They at least have the
merit, we believe, of not being trans
ported convicts or beggars, which is
more than can be said of thousands who
are cast upon our shores from Europe.
We quietly submit to tho imposition by
the despots of Europe, and why should
we be disquioted even if China, or our
new friends of japan, seeing our lik-
ing for this class Of population from O.
ther quarters, should resolve to favor
us with some thousand or so specimens
OF Asiatic rogues and mendicants? Is
1T because their complexions will pre-
vent their being converted into "better
citizens" within a few ycars2 IT must
be; for whole cargoes Of the MAIN, the
halt and the blind, highwaymen, bur.
glars and pickpockets, have been emp.
tied upon our wharyes without obser.
vation or complaint. Nay, they have
been speedily transformed into citizens
qualified to rule at the ballet box, and
competent to perform the duties of
public officers. --Bah. C7ipper.

glous freedom as having been IN issue
in that contest, and he says that the
Democrats and portion Of the Wings
who acted with them, 'smdintaincd'
ana "a'obly supported" that cause
Now, unless it had been opposed or in
some way assailed, there would have
been no necessity for maintaining, and
no merit in supporting it. The fair
nay, the inevitable inference then is,
that those were arraycd against Mr..
Wise and his friends, were waging war
on the cause of civil and religious free
dom. Ia. s.f
How did they oppose it? Certainly
not by the mere act of voting against
Mr.. Wise. He doubtless means that
the warfare was carried on by attempt
ing to establish the ascendency of the
principles and measures of the Ameri-
can party. .....s
This naturally leads us to enquire
what those principles and measures
are, and to the consideration of the
question whether there is any antago-
nism between them and the cause of
civil and religious freedom.
Some great fundamental principle
lies at the bottom Of every party Or
ganization. 1t is the root to which all
the measures and policy of the party
may be traced. Itgivcs the complex
ion and character to all its legislative
and executive action.
The leading principle Of the Whig
party was conservdttsm--exh exhibiting it.
self in opposition to what it conceived
to be unwarranted assumptions of
power by the federal executiye-in a
deep devotion to the CONSTITUTIONAL
a love oflaw and order--and in a rev.
erent looking up to the fathers of the
republic for instructions and guidance
in the affairs of government.
The cardinal principle Of modern
democracy, as it appears to me, is rad

regard of the teachings of history and

disposition to regard the will Of the
majority as the measure of its power
and the guide of its policy, however
much that "will" may be opposed to the
letter and spirit of the Constitution
and an arrogant assumption that mi
noritles have no rights--and may be
trampled on, prescribed, dsfranchiz-
ed, aud gerrymandered at pleasure.
The vital principle of the American,
party is "Amcricanism developing
itself in deep rooted attachment to
our own country--its constitution, it's

the transcendental philanthropy of a.

tai vigilance American Institutions and
American interests against the bane.

In my next number will unfold in
detail the measures and policy which
legltimatcly spring from this principle,

The nomination of Millard Fillmore,
oy the American party, is Southern
act but we believe he will suit the North

better for a reelection than any other
man In the country, and we shall not be
surprised if he should occupy the Whito
House for the next eight or twelve
years. ,-ar
