We published in our last, the communication
of San Irishman's Slave" and promised our re-
marks in the next. We now briefly give them:
and, first, as to the ground of our hope in the til
umph Of our principles.


We may augur success to our cause from the
warm and extensive appreciation it has already
met with. We believe there is not native citi-
zen OF the United States, unbiased by party, who
would not wish us "God speed:'' and we think
there are but few even among those of the strong
est party feeling, when they come to reflect and
understand, more especially when they are sp-
prised of the enormous evil growing out of the
immense mixed turbulent alien population con-
stantly pouring in upon us, that will not heartily
unite with us, leaving the few who could be base
enough to dissent from us, under the scorn and de-
rision Of every honest man. We are of opinion
that this evil is SO great that it is only necessary
to be known to call forth universal resistance.


Parties will see that whatever prejudice the
interests of the country might sustain from un-
vernment, the recuperative energies of our nstiu-
tons would soon work out our redemption with
out necessarily involving life or liberty. Not so
with foreign influence. But, if we shall fail in
these Just expectations-if the foreigner still con-
tnue to interfere in our elections and the adminis
traton of the Governmental portion small or
great Of our countrymen, shall basely stoop to
court the foreigner for popularity, designedly en-
abling him to realize that "thrift follows fawnng"
If the practice shall continue of prefering for
eigners to office, not only over the heads, but to
the exclusion of natives-then our last hope is,
that there may be found fraternity who, loving
their countrymen better than strangers-too no.
nest 10 sacrifice their country on the unholy altar
of alien popuarity-too jealous of the dear-bought
Inheritance (the right Of suffrage, the emoluments
and honors of office, and above ALL country free
from the canker of transported paupers and moral
degradation ofliberated European convicts among
us) will resolve to put down this evil and redress
the wrong at all hazards, or perish in the effort.


The main question with our correspondent
that which he considers the touch-stone Of our
principles-is, "would you put in Office "a Natiul
american, whose elevation made certain by you,
support, would defeat your party! or would yo,t
not prefer the foreigner, who, by your selection


would bring you and your party into powerr
