The Native Americans

The Natives held n National Convention in Philadelphia, July 4, and organized their party. About 100 delégales appear to have been present. The resolulions declare, amongother things, that ihcv wil] not voie lor any but those boni on our soil, nnd nurturcd among our iii stitutions: ihat no foreigner hereafter arriving in the United States shouíd be allowed to vote without a residence of 21 years: that a National Convention of the party should be held at Pittsburgh in May, 1847, to nomínate candidates for President and Vice President: that all foreigners, coming here to reside, ought to pay a capitation ta.v large enough to prevent the excessive influx of vicious and pauper emigrants: and that no aliens should be allowed to land in the United States, unlfss of good moral character, and able ;o support t'iemselves.the facts to be established by a certifícate of the American Consul at the port whence they emigate. It appears from their doings above, that the Natives intend to be the first in the field at the next Presidential campaign. But they cannot succeed at al), except in a few of the principal cities. Their organization has not the elemenls of a great party in it. It seems to be quite as rnuch of a "one idea" party as the Liberty paity, and that idea - dislike of foreigners - hateful and despicable in its character.CQ Cnssiiis M.

We g'wc all prnii-e toCas6ius for Iiis mnnly stand on this fubjoct, in the Pnce of public opm'on ot llie Soutli. He cvinces more cournire than lus distiiifjuislied natne?a!íe, who has hfen a duelüst all htfl life. Lnst yenr. when rlenry was queetioned if he would opain fipht a duel, he would not roply n tho negative, altfiongh he was then nearly seventy years of age! (Lr Grpely o!" the Tribune, in hi poütical madness, seema to havo lost all regard for Iruih. In a late paper he 6ays of the !ast campaigri,- ''The Abolition orators and editora muid not but know that nine fiüt of everv ten of their voters vvere drawn from the Whig rank?, and o evpry arresion impruved the chanco of Polk. If they ffot twenly votos in a lown bhip. they cid the Locofocos as pond service as if they Ind petsua. ed nine Whigs to vote ditectly forPolk." We cannot but believe that Mr. Grpely knew he was station that which was false when he wrote this paragraph. He cannot be excueed oq the plea of ignorance. He well knew ihat nine out of ten of the Liberty voIers were nol Trom the Whig ranks, but that tlie proportion was mucli nearer to equalit.v. We are sorrow to put the Editor of the Tribune among that large clnss of editora vvho delibeiately and wilfully assert what iliey know to be false, for the purposo of misjeading their readers: for we have thought better things of him; but ws know not liow to apol otfizefor him in this case, un'ess we consider him absolutely msane. The reputation of the Tribune forfairness and candor is rapidly on the decline.
