The time has been when mechanical occupa

thrived aa sorely, aod more safely, if not more

It ta acknowledged that out American-born
mechanics are superior to any other, bnt now
we find nearly every branch of mechanical bu
siness throughout foe country earned on by for
eigners almost to the exclusion of foe native-
bora. The influx of foreigners, and foe com*
petion of fqrign labor, have reduced foo wages
of mechanics to sack a standard that Americans
are unable any longer to devote themselves to
to such pursuits. The introduction of foe pau

dition of the laboring classes in this country to
foe.level of foe same classes in Europe, and

This feet is already evident to foe observing
people on foe otter side of foe Atlantic. A
writer in a repeat Irish paper, eommentingupon
this state of thing in foe United States, very
truthfully remarks:

Such ta indeed foe fact, and foe excessive in

Here ta foe essanoe of foe Americanism of
foe present day. Here is devoloped. from twe
opposite, yet distinguished sources, foe very
starting point of foo American organisation-
love of country! That very identical spirit—
and when iteeaseatobe prevalent to animate
and inspire, there will be ooihiog left worth
earing for—created foe much abated and cal
umniated American party of the United States.
Collateral issues may have crept in, and party
spirit m*y have exercised some influence, but.
the organisation would have never known vit-
ality, combined wifo power, except for the nat
ural, all-pervading iustincis of nativity, to
which we have hurriedly referred.
The Americana of foe United States feel that
they are bound to their own country by ties, and
duties, and loves, superior to all other obliga
tions. They wish to govern their native
land exclusively, and, although they may not be
as capable as others, they are disposed to assert
their inherent, inalienable right. To foe op
pressed of all lends their hospitable doors are
ever open, their, generous hearts and liberal
hands always ready to afford succor and en
couragement Bnt they protest against their
geests becoming governors of foe mansion that
has kindly entertained them, or that the seek
ers for a secure asylum should set up for law
makers and political dictators.
The offences of foe Amerioan party have this
extant—no more.—[N. 0. C re sent
Daniel Webster on Americanism.
The principles of the American party are by
> means novel. As far back aa the adoption
of foe constitntioQ, onr wisest statesman fore
saw foe evils which would* eventually arise
from foe annual influx of foreigners—and the
immortal Washington himself declared that
the insidious wiles of foreign influence would
subvert our liberties, unless the jealousy of a
free people.were constantly aroused against it.
From that time to this the most sagacious
statesmen of foe land have foreseen the dan-
pr, and warned foe pe0 ple of it American
ism is no new thing, evolved from the restless
fomentation of parties. No matter how much
other iasoes may have overshadowed it, the prin
ciple bat always been deeply imrlantet in foe
popular heart It ta one thing to obtain liberty
; —it ta another thing to preserve it They
make a fatal mistake who suppose that liberty
once obtained will endnre forever unless prop
erly watched and guarded. Of the troth of
this position, we have abundant proof in the
recorded sentiments of foe best men of the
country. -
In November, 1844, after foe defeat of Hr. A
Clay, for the Presidency, Daniel Webster made
a speech in Faunneil Hall, Boston, in which
foe necessity for the American organization of
foe present day, was distinctly asserted. Said
Mr. Webster:
The repeal, without retroactive operation of
all acte of Congress making grants of land to
unnaturalized foreigners, and allowing them to
vote in the Territories.
yH.- Hostility to the corrupt means by
which the leaders of party have hitherto forced
upon us onr rulers and our political creeds.
Implacable enmity against the present demor
alizing system of rewards for political indepen
dence.
Disgust for the wild hunt after office which
characterises the age.
These on the one hand. On the other— Imi*
tation of the practice of the purer days of the
Republic; and admiration of the maxim that
“office should seek the mt.n, and not inan the
office,” and of the rule that the just mole of
ascertain ing fitness for office is the capability,
the faithfulness, and foe honesty of foe incum
bent or candidate.
VriL- Resistance to the aggressive poliey
and corrupting tendencies of the Roman Catho
lic church in onr country by the advancement
to all political stations—executive, legislative,
judicial or diplomatic—of those only who do
not hold civil allegiance, direetly or indirectly,
to any foreign power, whether civil or ecclesias
tical, aud who are Americans by birth, educa
tion, and training thus fulfilling the maxim
“Americans only Shall Govern America.”

or exemption, by any. political combination of
its members.-or by a division of their civil al
legiance wifo any foreign power, potentate or

National Legislature, by elevating to that dig

qualifications, purer morals, and more unselfish

The American Party.
Tho result of the State elections this year,
whether satiefaotory or otherwise, cannot re
move the oonviction from the minds of a vast
number of foo American people, that no reli
ance can be placed upon the old politioal or
ganization! to give quietude and peace to tbo
public mind, and stability and perpetuity to onr
free institutions, aod that a new party is abso
lutely necessary to soenre, if possible, this de
sirable and patriotic otyeet. It ta admitted by
all candid men, thatfoe olti Whig and Demo
cratic parties no longer lift, wifo tbo dtatine*
tivo features and attributes which marked tbeir
early history—their palmy dnya. Torn into
fmgmonte, divided into factions, with discor
dant elements ever fermenting schism* where
there ta a pretence of unity; wifo no concord
of principle, no concert of action, the Demo,
emtio party, as now constitnted, presents nn un
wieldy, lifeless mss*, powerle** for good, potent
for evil—the repository and prey of political
pettifoggers and spoilsmen. The high place*
of trust, once occupied by enlightened states
men and patriots are usurped by demagogue*
and tricksters. The great and material inter
ests of the country are lo t .sight cf in the
never-ceasing strategies and labors of President
making and the consequent scramble for foe
spoils. As President-making has become foe
chief desire and employment of modern demo
cratic Statesmanship, g vory ingredient, however
discordant, is sought as an element of strength,
and to swell the motley ranks of progressive
democracy. Hence, at the North, freeaoiliim
is no barrier to a loving embrace and a cordial
affiliation with this piebald party, whilst North
and South, the foreign influence, bought aud
.nuteed as a distinct and control!ng element, ta
now actually the mling power of foe Republic,
because tbe balancing power. That this Is fact,
not fancy, we have only fo revert to tbe last
President! il election. In that election, the
foreign vote exeeeded the popular majority for
Pierce, by nearly 150,000, whilst in each of
fourteen States, which gave one hundred and
fifty-two electoral vrtes, the foreign vote was
larger than Pieroe’s majority, and in the aggre
gate more than twice as large as his aggregate
majority in all these States. If one-half of
this vote had been given to his opponent, Gen.
Pierce would have been defeated. Who, then,
elected General Pierce? And who marvels
that his administration should gain the ap
plause of Bishop Hughes?
With these nd other startling facts and
.events before ns, is it strange that the sober, re
flecting, unaspiring portions of American free
men should be alarmed at perils which environ
foe Government and threaten the destruction
of its- republican institutions? -.Is it strange
that men of like patriotic feelings and aims,
should break loose from old party ties and asso
ciations, and band together to rescue tbeir coun
try from the rule of foreignism ? Is it strange
that when foe sons of tbe sires, tbe natives of
the soil, see their landed patrimony bestowed
upon foreign paupers and criminals, that dem
agogues may rise to power and place, and their
sattelites riot npon tbe spoils of officer-1* it

Mb. Bmtoo: The Daily Intelligencer, nt At
lanta, doe* not seem to take in good bnmor a
piece signed “Cass,” in a recent number of tbe
Chronicle and Sentinel. The editor says that
“ the matter of the sale of the ears is too well
known to need further explanation here.”-—
Agreed. It ta too well known. It ta an ineff
aceable blot npon the eharaoter of foe Empire
State. It ta mortification to the pride of ev~
ery Georgian, which could never have occurred
under any administration worthy of the high
trust committed to it. When Mr. Campbell or
any of hta stomp wish to attack Georgia, what
a magnificent finale tbto sale will make for one
of Mr. Stepbene’ eloquent defences! It ta a
new arrow for bis quiver. It ta a novel and
grand feature of Georgia Railroad policy. The
property of the State of Georgia was sold by a'
Sheriff ia Tennessee, because to did not, or
could not pay its debts! This i* tbe humiliat
ing part, "too well known to need explanation
here.” It admits of no explanation.
"There has been no dissatisfaction on foe
part of the Goorgte, Central, and Macon Roads.”
Is the editor unapprised that tbe cars of these
road * were detained so long on tbe State Road
that there was jnst complaint—that the State
Rond gets tbe use of these cars only on coridi-
tion of tie paying ten dollars a day for every
day that they are kept beyood ten days on foe
State Road? It ta this dependence—absolute
dependence of this great State work ea private
companies,, that is the humiliating part of tbe
affair. Poverty -is, however, no disgrace. If
Georgia ia too poor to equip her Road, let her
say so—it is nothing to be ashamed of. But
let this gasconade about $150,000 dividend
cease. Let there be no further attempt to de
ceive the people on this point. Every one at

-lookat tbe result in our own State. The cities
of Augusta, Atlanta, Athens, Columbus, and
Macon gave handsome majoritits for the
American ticket, and elected their members to
the Leislatore. In Alabama, Mobile :>nd Mont
gomery, the two lat-geet cities in tbe State, and
contoia nearly half tbe foreign population ot
that State, tbe American ticket was triumphant.
In Tennessee, look at the result in Nashville,

In foe abstract, this proposition might be
true, but there are otter attendant circumstan
ces to be taken into consideration. Tbe veiy
reduced price of tbfe labor ta its great source of
evil, it ta inadequate to foe comfortable sup
port of femilies, and faence a large portion of
these foreign laborers seek an asylum in onr
poor-houses and prisons. The statistics of pau
perism aud erime in this country exhibit a most
astounding disproportion offoreingers thus sup
ported at pnblie expense. Without this source
of sopply, many of onr pnblio institutions of this
character would be almost without patronage.
This ta tbe great secret of tbe cheapness of for
eign labor; foe redaction in foe price of wages
is made op at foe pnblie expense, and, if we bad
time to make foe calcntation, we ere sure it
could be conclusively shown that, in addition
to driviog onr American mechanics into occu
pations—in addition to the evil influence’ of a
body of paupers and criminals upon the mor
al* of the commnnity—tbe cost to the public of
maintaining foreigners in our prisons and alms
houses more than compensates for all tbe differ
ence in foe cost of labor. Andew Jaekson once
said:
It ta time we should become a little more
Americanized; and, instead Of feeding tbe pau
pers and laborers of England, feed onr own; or
we shall become paupers ourselves.
And bis terrible prediction bids fair to bo
realized, unless, foe efforts of for Amercan par-
ty, such measures shall be adopted as will pre
vent this fearfa! increase of foreign pauperism
and tbe competition of foreign pauper labor
with native American industry in thta country.

The American Mass Meeting in the Park in
New York on the night of tbe 17th was one of
the most enthusiastic ont pourings of the people
ever witnessed in the empire City. The Ax'-
press says:
Men assembled in tbe Park last night, not by
the hundred or tbe tbonsand merely, nor by tbo
acre, even, but(so it seined to ns) by the square
mile- It was, indeed, a mighty and majestic
manifestation of patriotism and Intelligence—
and what is more, the result of but a very short
notice in tbe advertising columns of two* or
three of tbe previous day's newspapers. As the
nigbt drew on, the crowds grew denser and den
ser, until at length it was found utterly impossi
ble fora Stentor even to be heard from the plat
form in front of the City Hall. Stands, there
fore. were impr vised, on the East wing and on
the West—and the speakers from both were
listened to by enthusiastic, but orderly thons
ands. There was speaking, also, from the City
Hall steps—indeed, at one time, we thought-
there was speaking every where—over even to
the steps of Old Tammany—right across Chat
ham street. AU that part of the city was-alive
—with a multitude apparently animated by a
common impulse,-and a common determination.
The nominations and all. were heartily Indor
sed. and if tbe spirit whieh distinguished the
proceedings of- the eve ing—from tbe first to
last—be an earnest of that which pervades the
Americans at large, they have every encourage
ment for looking forward to a brilliant and de

If the necessity of a reform in our naturali

deny that it ta still more so at this time. It is

American people a recognition of tboir import

was great in 1844, when Mr. Webster proclaim

reforming onr naturalization law*; it has so in-
creased sinee foot time that tbe necessity is
now most imminent and argent. The danger

Tbe adriee of tbe best men of tbe land, from

Facts lo Regard to the Texas Election.
Says tbe N. O. Creole:
Most of our readers will recollect the Hot».
JoKn A. Wilcox, of Mississippi, (or a consider
able period a representative of that State in the
Congress of tbe United States. Mr. Wilcox,
now a resident <>f Texas, writes as follows to a
friend on the snlyect of the late elections in
that State. Our reader* will observe the
positive proof thus afforded our oft repeated as
sertion that the South is compelled to resist the
present naturalization laws if «be would preserve
the power at home to maintain her own institu
tions against the interference of foreigners who
are forming a party within her very bosom, hos
tile to her interests. He writes:
There are about,ten.thousand foreign voters
in this State, and as far as has been lieaid from
they .have been a unit 1 conscientiously be
lieve that tbe American party did not receive
fifty foreign votes, I cannot, at present, give
you the. result, in this Stale. We will however
be beaten I think, some two or three thousand
votes.
Yoa will then discover that Texas ta com
pletely under the control of foreigners, .nine
out of ten of whom are. abolitionists. . In this
place there ta published a German Abolition
paper, and Northern Abolition societies have.
established agencies here, to whom tliey send
by mail tbe New York Tribune and other aboli
tion sheets, forgratuituua circulation. I have
beep informed that one agency receives five
thousand copies. Now sure it is to me that if
tbe people of tbe extreme southern States would
think for a moment, they must conclude that
this ta an artful stoke'of the abolitionists to make
a free State in Western Texas, apd thereby
hem into a compass as narrow as possible the
power. Since m'y arrival here the Germans
held a large convention in which they declared
in favor of the abolition of June-—of oaths, in
Courts of Justice—of the Sabbath, and of Sla-
very. * '* . .
On tho day of be election here, the Germans
paraded their Flag (instead of the National)
through the steeets. They marched in proces
sion through tbe city chanting German nation
al airs. The French singing-foe Maraelliaa

Take these facta in oonnectiun with tbe re
cent abandonment of opposition to the repeal
of the Missouri Compromise line by tbe Free-
Soi lore of the North and tbeir deadly hostility
to tbe American party, and we can plainly see

very bitter in. bis denunciation oftbe American
Party,and advised the unties to have no busi
ness intercourse with its members ; neither to
trade with them, employ tbeir professional ser

their schools. Judge Warner, we believe.pro-
fesses (or did before tbe election) to abhor what
he was pleased to term the proscription of the
American policy. If he canahow any thing in
that policy bordering on the proscriptivenesa
of his own sontiments, as characterised above,
we will admit that it ta the most anti-republi

ever adopted by a political party of thta coun

A Baby Elephant.—One of the female ele
phants belonging to Barnaul's traveling Menag
erie, has recently given birth to an infant thus
disproving the assertions ofBuffbn and Gold
smith that these animals never gestate while in
a state of captivity. Several years ago a simi
lar occurrence took place at the Zoological Gar
den, in London, and soon after another at the
Jardin des Plantes, at Paris, while this is the
second instance in this country. The New York
Sunday Times says the one in question is per
fectly formed, and differs from its parent only
in size, but that difference is so amazing that it
becomes ludicrous, and when one sees the ‘baby’
walking to and fro under its mother, the im-.
pulse cannot be restrained to langh at the oddi
ty of tbo comparison. Tbe balky motherte Care
of her ’baby’ is described as extremely humaii
like and affectionate. If an apple, for instance,
is given to tbe latter, the mother takes it in Her
trunk, examines it closely, and then, as if satis*
fled of its harmlessness, returns it to her infant
to eat. The watchful care, the jealous fond
ness, the assiduous and untiring attention of
the parent-monster, is eminently worthy of im
itation by many a being who makes profession
of a much greater share of intelligence.
Will it be done?—Tbe. Atlanta Disoipline
says : “The Grand Jury impannelled for the
second week of our Superior Court, recommend
a thorough examination of the charges of%or-
ruption iu the management of the State Road,
by tbo next Legislature. Should this matter be
brought before that body, and a committee ap
pointed to investigate the charges made—who
will prosecute it with proper energy and in the
right way, we feel assured that every charge
will be sustained, and that uew features of cor
ruption will be developed that will astonish the
people of Georgia. If Gov. Johnson, esospes
impeachment he may be attributed it to the
large majority bia party has in the Legislature
and not to tbo foot that be does not deserve it.
We are Inclined to think however, that they sup
ported him in the late election, because the
charges were so glaring and outrageous* that
they could not credit them; bnt should the in
vestigation bo instituted, and the corruption es
tablished, as it wili be, we feel confident there
will be honesty and patriotism enough In the
Legislature to overoome tbe tenets of party, and
vindicate the honor and interests of the State
and her people.
“If our Deinooratfe friends refuse to institute
tho investigation, of courao it will he a virtnal
acknowledgement of the truth of tbe charges,
and must leave a stain upon the oharneter of
its present ro/-angers. If theV are guilty, let
them bear the shnmo—if they are innocent, jus
tice demands that they should be honorably ac
quitted.”
We should be pleased to see aueh an invest!*
tion made, if it can be through and complete,
but we do not wish to see a mere white-washing
committee enter upon tbe work; And we have
no hopo that any other would be appointed by
the Legislature. That each an investigation is

took her into the Massachusetts port from which
she had sailed, but was utterly unable to se
