Am there I a great ileal of tulfc just now among puliticiann, nml the p.-ojlo generally M to the position which Uuv. Guinea and Cen. Lane occupy upn the question of tlia right and irivil'gc't of foreigners, a held by the American party, we have thought it our duty to make a few candid statements in refurence to thia matter. We have been very much paiuod hy the courso tuken of lute by unprincipled mid wicked men in trying to convince you that Gen. Lane's party was friendly to foreigner, whilst Gov, Gaines, from Lit having received tlio nomi nation of the American patty, stood in a Loatile position to all who aro not native lorn citizen. Now we are honest in our conviction when wo assort that even lite Know Nothings ihcmaclvca aro much more truly your friends thnn Jo Lano or his ad mirers. If wo are wrong, Dr. McLaughlin, aud many other fureigncrK, whom we have heard express themselves, aro equally mis taken with us. We, a Americans, come to you like open, honest, high-minded man, and tell you that wo honestly conceive it to be our duty, aa true patriots, and lovers of our own country, to do somothing to avert the danger which hangs over us, from the rapid influx of furuigu paupers and monarchical emissaries, who are altogether loo haitily admitted to the rights of suffrage and the privilege of holding oflices under our gov ernment. Our viow of the matter is thia, that for eigners ought to remain here long enough to become AmtricunlirJ before they are permitted to tnko a pnrt in the affaire of gov ernment. How long that shall be, wo have not decided, but wo ure willing to leave it to our wisest and bent statesmen to decide.- Tho idea that wo wish to take away an uf the rights and privileges of the elective franchise from any of you, who aro ul ready naturalized by duo process of law, it entirely erroneous These rights and privileges, you are well awiuje, aro secured to you by our glorious constitution, in thut wiso pro vision, which no American would ever wish to disturb, and which forever precludes tho possibility of any of your right boing wrest ed from you by ex post facto legislation. Our cause, when properly understood, reo onjuiends itself equally to the truly repub lican and America loing foreigner, and to the nativo born citizen. For this ro'iion, our party already embraces thousands uoti thousands of foreign born oil ictis, w base no bio independence and truo patriotism have prompted them to take a stand with us, as the only truo republican party that now ex ist, and the only (.oliticul source of hope for our country's delivoranco from tho plotting achemesof wily demagogues, aud traitorous politicians, who would suit their country to a foreign KWcr for a yearly income of twen ty nine pieces of silver, if a purse of that size would insure them their daily bread, without their boing compelled to tarnish their kid-covered bauds by grasping the im plements of honest toil. We aro the only olitical party , now in ex iatenee, who vote nJ M .,r)M.,y., without being swayed in our conduct by ei ther the fear or hatred of any cWof men, whother bom on "Christian or on heathen irmiitul " V. -..... .... .. I , e. ., uul aimjiiui uv motives which art'eet those whose ignorance and il liberal sectional feeling induce them to lool with suspicion upon every man, no matter how virtuous, intelligent, aud patriotic, who lapnod to be born in some other section, aula, or kingdom, thus that in which they may nave Happened to com into the world f entertain no more prejudice against a foreigner, because he it a foreigner, than we do against a native born citizen. Neither are w disposed to deny that hundreds aud duy better qualified to exercise prot-erly the privilege of the elective rrancwie man wi ny native U.rn citif us. Those of our for eign population who are already in the en. joyment of this privilege will continue to enjoy it, unmolested by the American party. Our object i to avert the threatening storm which all intelligent and houcst men must see is fast gnlhcriug over us as na tion, by the rapid influx of foreign outcasts from tho various European governments, who, In their ignorance of our political poli cy, and tho fucility with which ournaturuli. zatiou laws introduce them into the enjoy ment of elective privileges, are fast becom ing a very dangerous balance of political power, when thrown into the scale with a minority of-corrupt and unprincipled Amer ican. You have only to look at the history of our government for the last ten years, for the most abundant proof that in all the rcceut political struggles between the friends of re form, and wholesome moral conservative legislation, on the one hand, and licentious, drunken, liberty-hating native born dema gogues on the other, tho great mass of new ly imported foreign votes have, invariably, been thrown in the scale, where ambitious politicians have staked their all for the success of just such principles as aro at war with the genius of a government, whose perpetuity rests upon the virtue, patriotism, and intelligence of our law making power. The reaion why this is so, it isnot necessary for us at present to inquire into, any further' than to state the fuct, that bad men, who place themselves in the position of political aspirant, are always ready to make greater exertions, work with more untiring enerpy, oxhibit a thousand fold more blustering, swaggering, protended zeal, for our glorious liberties, and treat more liberally to strung drinks, which dethrone, reason and inflame the passions, than are their more ord-rly and less animal competitors. Consequent ly particular pains are always taken by the-e wicked demagogues to hunt up such newly imported foreigners, and by every artifice and strabigem, of treating, coaxing, flatter ing, and the uso of the most flagrant false hoods in the representation of tho princi ples of their opponents, they wheedle the poor unsuspecting foreigner into tlicir sup port, under pretences of the purest friend. ship and most disinterested love, when the moment their role is secured theso political wretches: are aa little concerned as to wheth er they have even food and raiment, as they are for the swine that wallow in the mire. We have the most ample proof of every statement we havo made as to the real love which demagogues have for foreigners, in tho history of the treatment which Dr. Mc Laughlin has received at the bunds of this samo "clique, which is now trying to hon ey him and bis friond into a support of their men mid measures. You have been ofiou told by these gentlemen ( ! ) that you ought to support Jo Lane in preferenco to Gov. Ouities, becauso Gaines was a Know Nothing, aud consequently an enemy 'to foreigners, whilst Lano on the other hand, having denied his connection with that or der, might bo safely presumed to be a friend to foreigners. Now, we should like to ask you, honest reader, if, admitting the truth of every pretoiidud revelation of the print pics of tho K. NVa, (every onoof which, liowovcr, wo pronounce to bo a baso forgery, and not one of them stating the truth in ref erence to matters which havo como to thorn through the two very uncertain channels of " knot holes" and "perjured men", ) you cm Hint many or all of those "revelations" any ground for tho belief that K. N.1 havo any wisti or lntcntiou to deprive you of any of your rights, or your property I You must all answer, No ! Well, that being conceded, you aro com pelled to jvltint that oven if Gov. Gaines i a K. N, (which tho very fact that theorem of the "clique" has charged it upon him, ren ders it extremely doubtful with many,) he is certainly more entitled to your support your friend than Joseph Lano, who now represents tho false democracy of Oregon. vt nen wo call it tho Jtihe domoeraey we have no intention to injure tho feelings of a single man, who, from want of investign lion, and an opportunity to understand their principles, may havo attached himself to this party, merely on account of the pleasant as. soei.itions which cluster around the name thtybaveso unjiu'ly usurped. The term ilemocracy means something more than the elevation f an office-seeking few, at the ex pense of the dearest interests of the groat ma ol our citizens. Democracy, iu the tru Son A nf lliul ter into an investigation of either the uum beror character of the principle of true de mocracy. Rut we can tell you something about the number nd character of the prin ciplo of Oregon democracy in very few word, as we havo studied their organ for rears, as candidly as we could, in order to ascertain precisely what they meant when they called so vociferously, upon us all, to " vote for principle and not for men. As far as we can ascertain from their own published productions, and from their ma neuvering on their political eiieasuoaru, their creed contains just eiyltt of these pre ciou jewels. One of them Is coulined to the body of their party consisting of their dupes and supporters, whilst the other lev- en are confined to the head of tho party, consisting of oflice-seekors and demagogues. The one principle consists in choosing just such men for office, no matter bow illiterate and unprincipled, as aro designated as favor ites by the wire-working caucus-makors in some dark corner, where the honest yeo manrv of the country are seldom invited to come. The other teven principle held by the ipoils gentry, are " Five loaves and two fishes." These all put together muko up the atn of tho eight principles, which you are called upon to support instead of sup porting "men." Now the creuture who is the embodiment of such a creod of princi ples in any country or clime may hardly be jailed a "man," and tho organs, very appro priately, warn us against gratifying any lit tle .natural desiro we jnay cherish for voting for men instead of such principles. - But what we set out to preve was that this same party is very hypocritical in their lato pretensions to a very great love for foreigners, whilst to prove their zeal in your behalf, they nre sparing no pains to d). noiincu the American party, and everybody who sympathizes with tln in, us also J. Gaines, who has received our iiuminution as the best represetita'ive of American prin ciples and true democracy. Dr. McLaugh tin, who is well known to be nn Englishman by birth, an American citizen by adoption, aud a democrat of the old school, has assured us time and again that Jo. Lane and others of his party have, instead of exhibi ting auy great love to him as a foreigner nnd a brother democrat, used the most dis honorable means, such as misrepresentation and the most palpable falsehoods, in order to deprive him, not only of his character, but also of his projxrty. Every Old Ore- gonian knows that, the representations that have been made in tho halls of congress con cerning the Doctor's treatment of the early settlers of this country, with the express object of inducing congress to deprive him of his just rights to the "Island claim" in Oregon City, were entirely false disgrace ful to their perpetrators, disgraceful to our territory, and made with the sole object of transferring the Doctor's property to tho pockets of sorao of theso samo gentlemen, whose bosoms aro now so suddenly bursting with tho milk of sympathy for foreigners, that they are almost ready to deny that they wore themselves born in America, for the sako of getting tho foreigners' vote, just at this particular election. Now, kind renders, is not Dr. McLaugh lin tu!kinr like a sensible man. when he as serts that he would a thousaud fold rather risk a Know Nothing with his character and property than to risk Jo. Lauo or the party to which ho belongs ! IIo says that hi) knows Lane to be a natural Know Noth ing, and besides, ha thinks that he lacks the character for truth aud integrity which the Know Nothings possess, even admitting all to be true, that their enemies chargo them with.1 lint te show you tho political hypoc risy of the men, who aro now so loud in their protestation of lova for foreigners, we will quote a few extracts from private letters written by these samo gentlemen to our first delegate, and read by him on the floors of congress, iu order to prejudice American citizens then against McLaughlin, nnd which wero afterwards circulated from out) end of our territory to the other, solely as an ap peal to tho i;itici; feeling known to exist among the people, and which it was desired to arouso against the Doctor aa a foreigner. Ono under dato of Oct. 5th, 1850, writes thus : "I am much gratified to learn that the land hill pawed the lleuae in tils aliapo it did, reserving the McLaughlin ciaim. Your course will b sustain ed.

These same men (if such they may be calledl who are now believed to be the au thors of those letters, are tryiug to prejudice the foreign voters against Gov. tiaines, from the fact that he is the choice of tho American party, a party which they repre cut being inimical to foreigners.

There aro many living witnesses to the fuct, that Mr. Lane spoke in the highest terms, of tho character of Gov. Gaines as a brave soldier, a rotitleman. and an honest, bizh- minded man, nnd one whoso appointment as Governor of Oregon, was creditable to tho Administration from which he received his appoiutmeut . "General Lano. in hia iiieeeh on Thursduv last. paid a great compliment to tho present Governor, llis Excellency, J. r. dames, lie says he knows no Whig he would sooner see Occupying the Gubernatorial chair; and that in hia appointment the Government has acted discreetly.
