We are not likely to be driven into Native
Americanism, but there are things going on
around US to which we Cannot shut our eyes, and
which demand tho earnest consideration of the
community. Night before last, Maj. Davezac
had French meeting, to array the French pop
lation of our City under the aag of Polk and Dal-
les. Last night mother Tammany had a Ma
tive meeting $50 she called iO in the Park, to re
solve that they also would support Polk and Dal
las. We suspsc. good part Of the congrega.
ion collected by very good rocke'-fring and such
like expedi ants, ,werc Natives of other lands than
this, bu, that is not material. a French meet
ing one night-n Native the next-ali for Polk,
Dallas, Wright and Texas. So they go. Our
business at present is with the French affair


Who can fail 70 see that such meetings are di.
recuy calculated to in,ite and foltify Nativism
Heretofore we have had meetings Of German
Wings or Logo Focos, and possibly of irish also.
This is exceptionabe and tendsto evil, but it has
passed OF. But a general meeting OF the natives
of another land 10 discuss among themselves ano
decide which party they shall cast their votes
for, has hever before been known in America


And this was not the worst of it; for in such
cases bad leads to warae inevitably. Maj. Dave
zac, addressing III F.ench d meeting Of French
men, assembled to decide on and adopt decided
course in politics, Gid no: hesitate to appeal to
their French prtludices and hatreds. and bring
them to bear in faver of Folk aud Dallas. He
appealed 20 them To vote against Mr.. Clay in or
der to beak down the Tariff and open market
for more French Gods 10 ous country, (these
wsre not his precise words but his ldea,) and ne
also urged them to vote for Polk and Dallas as a
means of securing the Annexation OF Texas and
thus very probably creating War between this
country and England, the hereditary object OF
French hatred. Here the whole meeting shout
cd their enthusiastic appreciation


We ask all Americans-we care not where
born-to think of these things. Is 1t true that
those we admit to the proud relationship OF
American Citizens are aot really Americans, but
continue to Re French, Germars or Irishmen, as
thev were before? Then their Naturalization is
q mocksry and farce. But not must be
that these wiye-workers who are now thrusnng
our Adopted Citizens into false position, from
which evil is certain to result, Will yet be reouked
BY the calm judgment of the whole American
People, including ihose born IN other lands
Surely they should re.
