NEW YORK, WEDN =—— A Letter to the Candidates for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States, concerning the Naturalization Laws, the “ Native American Party,” and the Civiland Religious Rights of Adopted Citizens. GaotLemen:—The undersigned citizens of New York, in view of the approaching Presidevtial elec- tion, and the great interests involved therein, and being desirous to vote understandingly, and with strict reference to the principles of the candidates before the people for the pee of President and Vice President, very Jespecuully, submit to your consideration their opinions, with the reasons they have, and the views of severai high authorities with reference to naturalization aud the rights of adopted citizens—and they earoestly desire that you will severally make known, at as early a peri- od ag possible, your respective sentiments, and pro- bable course of policy, on these questions, should some or either of you be called on to perform the duties of these high offices at the ensuing election. We desire to know whether you thiuk that any, and jf so what, alterations are required in the natu- ralization laws? A And whether you approve or disapprove of the organization in this country of political parues tounded on the exclusive principle of depriving a portion of your fellow-citizens, however well qual ified, of the advantages attending a participation in the hooors and emoluments of office, because of the place of their birth, or on account of their re- ligious belief? Agalso, any reasons you may think proper to give forthe conscien ious views you en- tertain on these importdut subjects. Hf * A faction or class have arisen in our city, as suming the name of * Native Americans,” pledged to oppose the naturalization of our brethren from other lands, or, which is nearly the same thing, to exclude all foreigners from naturalization until they have been rerident among us twenty-one ears, and also to exclude them from all offices of OnoT, paveer and trust, and from the exercise ot the right of suffrage, after they are naturalized. This party has possession of the city government, and its leaders and presses, aided by the vast pa- tronage of the corporation, advocate the principle of a national or favored religion—of proscription from office and equal rights ot large bodies ot our fellow-citizens, because they do not conform to the spiritual doctrines of the combined sectarians now in power; and, generally, of the exclusion from office of all citizens of foreign birth, and es- pecially if of the Roman Catholic persuasion, be- cause of their birth place and religious opinions The body of persons thus banded together upon pereecuting, intolerant principles, have disturbed the peace of society throughout the Union, wounded the feelings of their fellow men without a cause, and risked both life and property in New York by their violent, ill-advised publications, while their adherents in the sister city of Philadelphia have, oftener than once, within the last few months, risen in res. rebellion against the laws, inciting a portion of the people to deeas of treason, blood, and arson; resisting the constituted authorities, civil and mil- itary, even unto the death, unul, in the words of an address agreed to on the 10th ult., at a meeting ot citizens, ‘of the highest standing in their sev- eral pursuits, and of the highest character for res- pectability and usetulness,” and presented to the Governer of Pennsylvania, in independence Hall, (whence had issued sixty-eight years before, the great Declaration of American freedom, “ peace, security, and reputation” ‘‘seemed about to take fhght tor ever” irom. that city, * At the civic election here last spring, a majority of the voters of the party called whig, ubandoned their party organization and candidates, and united with the ‘* Native Americans,” as did a lesser number of those called democrats, thue§enabling the most intolerant faction ever known among us to obtain the control of the city government. We desire to be frankly informed whether ei- ther of the candidates forthe Presidency is pre- pared to support the prayer of such petitions for a repeal of the naturalization laws as were submitted to the Senate of the United States, at its last ses- sion, with the apratent sanction of Mr. Archer, 0, e of its members ‘ When the constitution of the United States wes agreed to in convention, the fathers of the republic went into a full consideration of the quesuon et naturaiization, and in accordance with their judg- ment, and the powers of that constitution, Generai Washington deliberately approved a naturalization Jaw, which only required « probation of two years, without any previous notice whatever. The au- thor of the Declaration of Independence would have been still more liberal to the stranger. One of the charges brought by the men of 1776, in their Declaration, against George II]., was in this form: “He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the laws for the natu- ralization of foreigners, refusing to pass others to encou- rage their migration hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands.” If the fathers of our repnblic, most of them native born British subjects, thus denounced the British king as ‘‘a tyrant,” “ wofit to be the ruler of a free people,” because he ‘obstructed the lawe for the naturalization of foreigners ;”—if the venerable Franklin, as may be seen by reference,to the Jour nal of Congress tor 1775,went so far as to propose to receive all Ireland into our contederacy ;—if, as 1s unquestionably the case, these United States have been settled by emigrants from England, Ireland, ~cotland, Wales, France, Holland, Germany, Sweden, and Denmark ;—if the Federal Constitu- tion expressly authoriz: s our present naturalization laws ;—if our greatest and best statesmen have de- fended and approved them if the law of 1802 has been tound to answer expectation, as well in time of war as of peace ;—if America is the land, not of one class, one tribe, one people, not of those alone who are born in it, but of the oppressed of other climes ;— if it is, as the world admits, “the land of the free and the home of the brave ;”—if citizens of foreign birth have been as faithtul to the Consti- tution as those native born, and we have never heard of any sttempt to prove that they have not been so; and if the beginning of civil di cord is dreadful in its effects now, and would likely be much more terrible in the event of a foreign war finding us a divided people, we desire to know wherein the conduct of the “Native American par- yi, ot 1844, and their abbettors, is less wicked and letestable than was that of George III. and his lords and commons, three score and ten. years since 7 i : The illustrious Jeflerson,fia 1801, in his first mes- sage to Congress, indicated the true policy of our country with regard to foreigners. These were his words : “I cannot omit recommending a revisal of the laws on the subject of naturalization. Considering the ordinary chances ot human life, a denial of citizenship under a re- sidence of fourteen years, ia a denial to a great propor- it; and controls u policy pursued, {com their first settlement, by many of these states, an il believed of con ence to their prosperity. And all we refuse the ui jitives from distress that poapitely ‘ea of the wilderness extended to our fathers arriving inthis land? Shall oppressed hu- pee ef find no asylum on this globe? The Constitution, indeed, has wisely provided that, for admission to certain offices of important tru: residence shall be rquired sufficient to develope character and design. But might not the general character and capabilities of a citizen be safely communicated to every one manifesting a bona fide purpose of embarking his fortunes perma. nently with us? with restrictions, perhaps, to guard ogainat fraudulent usurpation of our flag; an abuse which brings 90 much embarrassment and loss on the genuine citizen, and so much danger to the nation of being ji volved in war, that no endeavor should be spared to do- tect and suppress it.” It ig a curious fact that the Father of the Native American party of this city, and probably in the Union, is one of a proscribed race—Mordecai Manazsah Noah—a political Jew, who, when ad- vocating the claims of Messrs Harrison and Clay, in alliance with Mayor Clark and the whigs, in 1835, coarsely denounced foreigners, especially the Irish, as ‘‘ most of them extremely poor and igno- rant, many of them very depraved,” urged the en- actment of alaw to prevent any foreigner from voting, for twenty years after his arrival among us, drafted a plan of organization for the faction who now rule here throug! jotry, and in Philadelphia through bloodshed and rapine, and in his Star, of August 18th, 1835, invoked the elements of politi- cal discord in the Christian world, for a considera- tion. * * * * * ‘Mr. Noah, when he artfully invoked the aid of religious animosity and the strife of contendin, races, for electioneeri purposes, at the risk o the lives and properties of his fellow citizens, might have remembered that even while the foreign ene- my who made his now scattered and persecuted Jewish countrymen ‘strangers in their own Jand” thundered at the gates of Jerusalem, the bitter strite of her own sects and factions, stirred up by such as he is, caused the holy city to become an easy prey to her enemies. Mr. Noah must have seen that in warming into life the now dominant taction, he was exhibiting @ cee degree of ig- norance and prejudice than that of which he had accused the Irish Catho That in 1844 wellinformed man in the Union really fears the in- fluence of either the Pope or the Pretender is an assertion too ridiculous and absurd to obtain one moment’s credence. In view of the policy of England, fromthe days in ESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 7, 1844. which Joho Heary was seut among us by Castle reagh, Liverpool,and Sir J.Henry Craig,her persecu- tion of Catholics; her encouragement of orange clubs, which seem to follow the colony government of Canada, from Toronto to Kingston, and from Kingston to Montreal; and her annual votes of se- cret service money—it is much more rational to suppose that the hund of that really foreign govern- meat, which sought to strangle our nation in its infancy, to use the words of Mr. Van Buren, and has ever since endeavored to retard its approach to manhood, is in the Fhiladelphia riow, and in the movement by which the friends of such rioters have obtained power in New York, than to ulaimn old women about the Bishop ot Rome, whose tem- poral power is scarcely sufficient forhis own small dominions We might quote numerous authorities, showing the friendly feelings ot Presidents Madison, Mon. roe, and Jackson, towards adopted citizens and immigrants of fair character, and towards the American policy generally pursued since 1776, but enough has been said to prove that those of ue who have invited their frends and brethren to bring to Atmerica their wives and little ones, their wealth aud their enterprise, were warranted in so doing. A clear and explicit statement by the several can- didates,for the Presidency, of their views on a question far too important to the common weltare tu be made an electioneering topic oi ull next No- vember, 18 most anxiously looked for. _ Lu their enmity to liberty of conscience and equal rights to worstup God according tu religious be let, the “yNatve Americans” of Philadeiphia have burnt christian churches, piled libraries of books on divinity in the streets and made bonfires ot them, and patucularly singled out as objects of hatrea and contempt the professors of the ancient faith of Christian Europe, the Roman Catholics—very unfit objects for their hatred and vengeance. ‘The immortal Washington looked upon the Catholics ot his day with very different feelings. * The father of his country was too just to desire to forget that while Protestant England was ex- erting all her powers to enslave our free States, Catholic France ani Catholic Spain gave our tore- tathers an efficient aid, Whence came the arms with which Ameticans gallantly engaged at Sara- toga? What just maa can desire to torget the eignteen millions of dollars given us, and the fleets and armies sent to our aid by the Catholics of France, in the time of our utmost need? Did not Commodore Barry, an Irish Catholic, command our navy? ‘* Native” tories there were, but who has ever heard of Catholic tories in ourrevoluuont Yet, were the wild and discreditable principles of “the Natives,” now in power in thiscity, realized, would not the civilized world cry ‘‘ shame” upon that ungrateful people who would reward the 1omfan- tic enthusiasm of the great and good Latayette by a refusal to his son, should he require i, of an asyluin within the Union, except he were to come among us as a political slave, to behold the faith of his #athers exposed to insult, and himself inca- pable of holding the meanest civil office, or of vot- ing-for the constable of the wara in which he might reside? Abstract the aid given usin the war of independence, by France, Spain, and the Irish, and then judge vf the probuble results. Exclude foreign-born friends, asthe Native party, 80 culled, are pledged to do, and men like Alexan- der Hamilton, Albert Gallatin, Charles Thompson,. Robert morris, Thomas Addis Emmet, Gutes, Barry,:De Kalb, Montgomery, Steuben, Kosciusko, Mercer, and Lawrence, will be lost to us in future. They were all of them born foreigners. So were the Pennsylvania Line, generally. Had foreigners been excluded in 1775 and '76, where would have been the nation’s independence? Did not the fanatics, Anti-American in principle, be their birth place where it might, who paraded the Bible asa party emblem for electioneering and sectarian pur- poses, last April in the Park, at the hustings, and In the streets and lanes of New York—did nox they act in open defiance of the fundamental doctrines ot that Christianity which, though perpetually in their mouths, was evidently far trem their hearts? Be a a Ce a In a epeech by Mr. Van Bureo, at Tammany Hall, as reported in the Avening Post, of Dec. 2d, 1832, he said: ‘“Muny, very many, of our adopted citizens of almost every country, have ehown that they valued as the: onght, that most valuable of all franchise, the right of sufirage” ; And, speaking of the Irish voters, he added: “Their numbers, their inflexibie adherence to the cause of public liberty, wherever their lot happens to be cast, give them undoubted claims to the cousideration of all who are sincere friends to that cause themselves. When the unusual attempts which have been made during the late canvass to influence their prejudices, and subvert their principles, are considered, ali candid minds must admit, that, whatever may be their portion of the infirmi- ties incident to all manxind, venality—base, contamina ting and degrading venality, forms no part.yThey haveon the contrary, in a manner the most signal and complete, rolled back ‘upon their accusers the calumnies which it has been the fashion for years to heap upon them, and shown themselves worthy possessors of the right of sulf rege, by the zeal, inflexibity and incorruptibility which they have evinced in its exercise.” In a letter addressed to Henry O'Reilly, John T. Gough, and others, of the ith AS it Asso- ciation, dated 27th December lust, Mr. Van Buren says: * Respect for the Irish character, sympathy for the op- pressions they had endured, and admiration of the heroic, uncalculating and uncompromising devotion to Popular Right, which they have Uiplexent ‘both at home and ia every country that has adopted them, at all times and un der all circumstances, a1¢ feelings which I have cherish- ed without interruption through along pablio life already greatly protracted.” Governor Seward, whose mother was the daugh- ter of Irish parents, presided at a sepeal meeting in Albany, on the 3d of January, 1844, and | eliverea an address favorable to Irish independence. “The people of trelant (said he) exhibit the first in- stance of a tavolation begun end prosecuted under the in- fluences of humanity, and in harmony with the injunc- tions and sanctions of the gospel of peace. Shall we who achieved our freedom by sacrifices of bl ur own and freely drawn from foreign lands;we who have liberally lent sympathy, money, arms and men to other revolutionary states, refuse our sanction to the peaceful, heroic, sublime revolution of [reland !” “In the days of our revolution, Ireland was with us t> a man; and now there ia not a citizen among us, with an finerieee heart, who is not cordially the friend of Ire. land!” So said Bancroft, the historian of the United States, in a late address delivered at Boston, _ On the 3d of pebay, Henry Clay deli- vered aspeech inthe United States Senate, the notes taken on which he revised, and it was pub- lished on the 3d of March, ina supplement to the National Intelligencer. The following is an ex- tract:— “Of all foreigners, none amalgamate themselves so wast with our people as the natives of the Emerald ele. ia some of the visions which have passed through my imagination, I have supposed that Ireland was origi- nally part and parcel of this continent, and that, by some extraordinary convulsion of nature, it was torn from America, and, drifting acroes the ocean, it was placed in the unfortunat open-hearted indifference about human life, characterizes the ink tanta of both countries. Kentucky has heen sometimes called the Ireland of America. And I have no doubt that, it the current of emigration were reversed, and ret from America uponthe shores of Europe, every American im- migrant to Ireland would there find, as every Irish immi- grant here finds, a hearty welcome and a happy home.” Mr. Clay, in a debate in the Senate on the pre- emption law, Jan. 6, 1841,Jsaid: When a foreigner has once been naturalized, I regard him as a brother, as a member of our political community, and as entitled, with some few constitutional excepti to all the rights of native born citizens, and to the protec: tion and defence of the government at home and abread.” ftis evident that a very large number of Mr. Clay’s warmest friends here, and in Philadelphia, are either disturbing the peace of the community tor electioneering purposes, in the most reprehen- sible manner, or that they believe him to be the candidate of the Native American party, and (like his friend, Mr. Archer,) the exponent of their peculiar principles. We trust that that gentleman, in view of recent events, will frankly and manfully define his position. Insincerity forms no part of his character; no considerations of ex- pediency would, we are well assured, induce him to countenance and ty ose measures he believes to be injurious to the honor and interests of his country. Several years after Mr. Clayhad expressed the sentiments concerning Ireland and Irishmen,which we have quoted, the Albany Argus thus acknow- ledged a national debt of gratitude to the Irish:— * An Irishman, the instont he sets foot on American papene, becomes ipso facto an Americal was unl lorroly the c: during the whole of the revolutiona: war. A native of Ireland stood in need of no other cert ficate thanfhis dialect. His sincerity was never called in question. He was supposed to have a sympathy of suffler- ing, and every voice decided as it were intnitively in his favor. Indeed their conduct in the revolution amply jua- tified this favorable opinion ; for whilst the Irish immi- grant was fighting the battles of America by sea and land, the Irish merchants, particularly at Charleston, Balti- more and Philadelphia, labored with indefatigable zeal, and at all hazards, to promote the spirit of enterprise, to increase the wealth, and maintain the credit of the coun: try; their purses were always open, and their persons ‘le- voted to the common cause. On more than one imminent occasion, Congress owed their existence, end America fog ad preservation, tothe fidelity and firmness of e Irish.” Governor Clinton, who had the best possible op- | portunities, as Mayor of New York, during the last war, and in other public capacities, thus replied to an addressof the Irish citizens of this city, on the 18th of March, 1815, thirteen years alter he ha voted for and advocated in the United States Senate the re peal of the fourteen year bill, and the adoption of the five yoane of probation, in force since Jefferson signed the act of 1802. “If [had veen even insensible to those natural predilec- tions which every man must entertain for the country men of his ancestors, (ssid Mr. Clinton.) yet patriotic considerations would have inculcated the expediency of cherish migration ; for take away from Amexica her population of that description, and who would not mourn over the loss of many of the best heads and best hearts of the nation? Who would not lament so ala ing a diminution of our physical strength, and such an irreparable destruction of our productive industry ?

Price Two Cents, Atnocious anp Unnatural Murpex IN Puita- pELPHIA.—The Coroner was called upon yesterday morning to investigate a case involving a murder of a most upnatural, brutal and atrocious character. The Coroner being confined to his_bouse by his late accident, deputed Alderman Hoffner, of .oyame: sing, to officiate in his place,and this magistrate proceeded about 9 o'clock, A.M, tosummon a Jeary, and began the investigation. The murdered persen'is Rebecca Brown, awoma: about thirty five years of age, the wife of an Irish weaver, named James Brown. The couple lived in Gulielma street, in the routh-western part of the city. Brown was of late, much addicted te liquor, apd had been in the habit of maitreating bis wife for along time. Last Friday night he beat her in a most shemeiul manner, when the beating ax well as her cries, were heard by Henry Homil- ton, her father, who lived in the cellar of the seme build- @ they resided in. On the Monday previous he beat her in the presence of the father in the cel ar kitcben, ond when she screamed and halloed “murder,” he choked her. ‘The father is an old man snd a cripple, and gid not interfere, because he could not separate them. His treat- ment having become insufferable, the poor women, on Saturday last, being compelied to reck redress from the law, had him arrested and brought before Alderman Jobnstone and committed to prison on the charge ef us- sanit and battery. When she ap red at the Alderman's ottice to tes nat her husband, she was scarcely able to articulate, from injuries that hod been inflicted by him upon her throat and mouth. Her whole neck and face, and head too, exhibited marks of his barbarity. Notwithstanding all this, the deep and abiding aifection of the wile was so manifest, that she cuncealed the real extent of her injuries, and in fact the ultimate couse of her d afier the commitment for her husband had e imploringly besought hia release from Brown, however, was sent to prison, till remains , and the wife returned home in @ condition so evidently precarious, that ell who saw ber thought she would certainly die which opinion wes but too truly realized. On Sunvoy evening she crawied down to a cellar in Tenth street, below Washington, oc cupied by an Irishman with whom she was acquainted, named Samuel Elliott. Here she grew worse, wud alter lingering until 6 o'clock yesterday morning, expired On her death bed she disclosed the fact of a most heinous, end, perhept, unparalleled outroge, perpetrated upen her person with a par of tongs by the monster in humon shape—her husband. Her body was found to be bruised all over, and her garments were stained and saturated with blood. Alderman Hoffver institnted a post mortem examination, and the investigation before the jury wus resumed at 2 o'clock, PM. The father testified that his daughter had bed seven children by her husband, only o1e of whom was living ‘Through his brutality she had had two miscarrioges, ove within a few weeks. He had known him to beat her a hundred times. She told him on Saturday. that hes hus band said, “ Pll fix you where you cont show your mark,” and then thrust a pair of tongs np her bedy. “She showed beifperson to thet quire’s lady andjto another lady A sister of the deceased’s hushand, who hived mn the upyrr part of the same house with them, wes examined but nothing could be elicited from her, except that the ce. ceased Was greatly given to drinking wine to exces, and that she had recently gone off and staid from home teve- ral days and nights, and lost a sum of money belonging to her husband, which had caused them to wrangle. She and the deceased were on bad terms. She denied having heard the beating on Friday night. The tongs with which the monstrous outrage was committed belonged to this wit ness, but she declared that she saw no blood or stain on them. Dr. Alexander Wilson, South street above 12th, testified that the deceased was the most drunken woman he ever saw—that he had seen her lying drunk at the cor- ners of the streets, She came to his store on Saturday evening in a state of intoxication, and told him of the eneral maltreatment of her husband and of the outrege fe had been guilty of. Mary Watts, an Irish woman, who lived two rquares from Brown’s house, testified that Mrs. Brown cume to her house on Saturday morning in a weak und fainting condition, with a face and mouth so shocking to look up- onthat she (Mrs atts) was almost frightened ino a fit. Mra Brown was unable to sitin a chair atthetime. She detailed the circumstances and particulars of the cruelty and barbarity of her husband, and exhibited ber person to her, Mrs. Watts advised her to go to Dr Lewis. She told Mrs. Watts that after putting her husband in prison, her sister-in-law, would not let her come into her own house. Mrs. Watts now advised her to ond stay in the cellar with her father, She came to Mrs. Watts ‘gain on Sunday morning, appeared somewhat better, and changed her linen, She went away and Mrs. W. did not see her again till she saw her a corpse.

Agrees with Dr. Duffee in his detail of the general appearance of the body; the first thing that struck us was the large number of old bruises and scratches; the most prominent and recent one wes on the right ride of the chin; striking fullness about the throat; deep seated internal abscess, apparently of two, or three, or four days date; slight effusion beneath the left eye; the body wes a bloated, diseased one ; that of a person of the most i em- perate and worst habits. There was no visible injury of the vagina or uterus—no tongs, in my opinion, coulo have been used; appearances did not indicate any thing of the kind; the appearances were such as weuld be found after @ recent miscarriage.
