Te th relaaer't l Itrrgoa.
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

our delegate from theso truth lovtujr atia

as having been read during bis spoech In

which we now have before us.
Tho correspondent writes under d;ttQ cf
August 10, 1850;
'A muni tremendous struircle was made to pre

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. All

representation aro being made is, that if

Lanes Opinion of (ialacs la 151.
We clip the following from the Spectator
of May 8. 1851, which serves to show the
light in which Gov, Gaines was viewed at
the time of this early dato by Joseph Lane.
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. He save
he knows Gov. Gaines personally and favorably,
and endorses his appointment entire, barring his
political opinions."

counted upon tho support of the peoplo for

of democratic principles we aro to see, but
an uprising of tho people, regardlc of par
tics, to clear ourcouniy of tho opprobrium
brought upon us by tho " Salem clique.'1
The excitement increase, aud will in

thronged as lust Friday to hear the speaking,
from candidates. Mr. (trover led off, and
the only remarkable item of hi speech was
