IL that, while the editors Of the Gazete
ore both radical Know Nothiug., and
but . few months ago were ~ loudly
denouncing all foreign born citizens
and active in concerning measures to
deprive them Of tho dearest franchise
Of freedom. Nov they are such ar
sent admirers Of one particular class
Of adopted citizenss The answer 10
plain. II is not that they hate the
adopted citizens lea, but that they love
office more. From one third to one
half Of the German voters voted the
National Republican Ticket. Thence
forth from prosecuting and .Ianderisg
them, the Republicans pat them gently
upon the hack, call them "dear German
friends" and curse the Irish who oil
steadily continue to vote for the old
Democratic principles and measures,
regardless Of flsttery OF Islander.
The Irish are abused by the Gazette,
because they vote the Democratic tic.
ket, and refuse to become allies in a
warfare against the Constitution and
liberties Of their adopted country. Ii
they should coslesce with Black Re-
publicans, and the Germans all remain
in the Democratic ranks, We should
zee the Gazette again shrieking out
threstenings and slaughter against the
"D---n .'utch," ~ il did in lays
gone by, and the Irish would lie the
''dear friends instead. Such rank hy'

which that journal belongs, ough, to

Gems.
The Democratic party 10 bottolned
upon unchanscabl, principle, in respect
to the rights Of adopted ci,izens. II
looks at the spiri, aud letter OF the
Constitution, and the wants and needs
Of the Country, irrespective ., the po-
htics faith of adopted citizens, in de-
terminiag their rights, aud the duty of
