All who have at any time thought upon the subject, appear to have be come alarmed at the danger with which our insli unions arc- threatened from this cause ; and i w e mistake not, the period has at length arrived, ' when liiosB'tviio love their country and are ambi tious of establishing a national character of our own, andalthe same time desirous of perpetua ting our republican form of Government, are pre pared in unite in the enquiry how far our present Naturalization Law s are calculated to have a ben eficial or iniurious effect upon the perpetuity of our institutions and the happiness of our people. In all ages o f the world there has been implanted inkind an affectioi tlia t w h ich he I expectation, le action has already become too apparent, to authorize the belief that they will not act with promptness in an affair o f such vital importance not only to our National Hit to the cause of liberal principles V and for ages to come. [From the Neui-York Cour. and Enquirer.1 Sir —It is truly .painful to see that political opinions cannot be defended without disturbing religious preju dice and calumniating a Clergy whose principle it is, never to interfere with politics. The question here is hich our insli- not whether our laws of naturalization admit or not of cause ; and if improvement—Heave the decision of that question to length arrived, poliiicians—but was it necessary to represent the Ca- ® - • I tholic Clergy as intriguers who exercise a control over our elections, when it is a fact well known that notone of them ever voted or interfered at all, either publicly or privately in our elections. If any one has done it, let him be personally exposed ; but let not the whole body be calumniated for the imprudence of any individ- ihe nob d no nation ,’crc not remai f this f r s t o f virtues in a yet if we paus Jiav e w e a s its force? hav( tc r e d i t ? — th e a n s w e r m u s t the Yiegalm.

T h is rule is as ap plicable to the laws on the subject of naturaliza tion as to a n y otiiers j and we call upon the reflec ting portion o f the people of the United States to enquire whether there e.xfsts any longer a solit reason why we should admit any foreigner to rights of citizenship. There is no country Europe in which an American can become entitled to such rights, and where, w e again ask, can be found a single argument in favor of our granting them to iliosc who may think proper to make this their place of residence ? W e are ail taught from our cradles that tbiscoun iryry iss thehe asylumsylum off thehe oppressedpress of the world- t i t a o t op the last refuge for those who are contending in half of liberal principles in Europe, the cho land in which the Goddess of Liberty has erected her temple, on the altars of which her Lamp is burning with a brightness that forbids the idea of Elingiiished.

Secure to him all these privilege: on the very day he places his foot upon our short if you wilt - but as we value our form of Govern ment and would transmit it unimpaired to our pos terity, never let tiie native of any other soil be permitted to partake of, or divide with us the mi inestimable right of an Am e rican —the right o f : iling our rulers. All that a foreigm ner can In reason ask, is the Law s and the benefits arising lecu^ protection of our La w s and the benefits arising from our Institutions; and so sure as we continue to grant more, so certain is it that those Institu tions must soon lose their present character and our country become subjeetto the control of for eign powers.

Surely there is much cause fiir reflection on the p r e s e n t position of affairs; and we call upon eve- T' 3 A m e r ican to whatever partj- he may belong, to give his candhl nttemion to the subject of our hiw-s natumlizing foreigners, and to insist upon their repeal.

A s a matter of course, all who are in the country at the time of such repeal, and shvU give notice of their intentions to become citizens within a certain period', should be protec- teel in their rights, for it is their rig h t to become citizens under certain restrictions, and it may be that it was for Chat purpose they left their native land.

The Marquis ol W e llesley is said to havci resigned the office o f Lord Chamberlain. It is also stated that the earl of A l bemarle has resigned the Mastership o f the horse; but the Sun contradicts this latter report. A Lon don paper o f the 19th gives the following note from a correspondent from the House of Commons:— H o u s e o f C om m ons , ) ■ ’ H a lf past one o’clock. ) Great commotion prevails here— all the comittees are in confusion— and the order list is so made out that it appears to be the intention to have no house to-night. A s two election committees must be bal- lotted for, it is scarcely possible to avoid this, but every effort will be made. T h e reason assigned for this emeute is, that Mr. Spring Rice, after de claring that he cannot lead the house has resigned.

Bishop D ubois is a F re n c h m a n , and wt have ever looked upon him as a pure man and sin- 3, we are confident, has in no way Tered in our elections, though it is within our knowledge that he has had reason to lecture the Irish P r iests under his charge upon the impropri- iir meddling with politics. But while we the appeal Bishop D i looked upi cere Christian. H e, interfered in our eii iwledgi ety of thei ^ _ thus exonerate him and feel satisfieci that he has not offended against the spirit of those institutions w h ich p r o tec t him , w e a r e in no w a y disposed to shrink from the responsibililyofliaving charged the Irish oortion o f the Caiholic Clergy with a direct and highly dangerous interference with the exer cise o f the elective franchise by those whose con sciences are in their spiritual keeping. W e beg the Bishop to bear in mind that during the eight years we have conducted the Courier and Enquirer, this paper, more than any other in the country, has stood forth in the defence pf the right of the Catholics to the quiet en joyment of their re ligion, unawed and uninterrupted by the prejudices and fanaticism pfzealols and well disposed misgui ded persons o f other denominations. Our object has been to secure religious tolerance to every sect in the true spirit o f our Institutions; and with this view, we have been compelled to advocate so stren uously the rights of the Catholics, that w e have called down upon us much o f the odium which the lanatical portion of the community heap upon the ics themselves. It cannot be supposed, there- W e hav-e frequently questioned whetherther thehe Cath olic religion wasconsom stitutions, and facts am t < la n l lo the spirit of free In- id circumstancesircumstances nowow withinithin nd c n w edge, have satisfied us that in a country where the right o f suffrage is extended lo ible to be greatly abused i :ome dangerous to our Liberties. Although the Bishop o f Ncw our kno’ „ , like ours, where the all, it is liable to be 1 extent Liberlies. ip o fN c -Y o r k disapproves of any interference in our elections by the P r icst- it through the con/cm'on- thus possessed, it power to control and direct the votes eniieihs of the ignorant Catholics.— hood, he will not deny that at, and an abuse of the influenc is within their power to control ot nineteen tweniieihs o f the ignorant Cai If this be so, and that it is must be admitted by all, then is the Catholic Religion hostile to free insti tutions—not by reason of its tenets and the prin ciples o f its faith, but in consequence o f the control ling influence its Priests exercise ovei of their ignorant followers. But our and laws secure to Catholics the free exercise of their religious faith ; and in consequence, we shall always stand ready lo defend them against moles tation from other sects. Convinced however, that they have it in their power to subvert our institu tions, and believing that the Despots of Eui are prepared to make a desperate assault u their institutions through the means of con European Priesthood and hundreds of thousc of ignorant and vicious subjects whom they are prepared to send us, wo can discover no security against the threatened danger to our civil and religions liberties but in the repeal of our Natural ization Laws. Then the Catholic Religion would cease to be the object o f alarm to all who have the welfare of the country at heart, because it could ercise sufficient influence over the minds dive citizens to make them forget what is of their birth and the laws and land. Our native population, irily always be more or less enlighten- r system of general education; while -y, the emigrants from Europe with due to the country instiutions of the land, must nee ed under oters, of whom 9000 a election it is cslimati on the contrary, the emigrants from Europe will: but few exceptions, are of the most ignorant class incapable for a long period after their arrival ing U3, cither o f appreciating the blessing o f our institutions or understanding the principles n which they are based. ut we have wandered from the subject o f the Rev. note. H e surely cannot expect to prove by a Caiholic that by his spiritual adv he was directed to vote for the T o ry ticket; if he will take the trouble to inquire he will think, discover that with two exceptions, every Irish Cutholie P r iest in this city took an active part against us in the last fall election. In the first place, it is known, and admitted even by the “ Truth Teller,” that the Irish Catholic vote was “ almost unanimously” given for the Tory candi- id this in itself should open the eyes of ill 3 the truth o f those suspicions, which on former occasion we have reason to believe, he entei laincd on this subject. But we will mention othc facts for his information. On the day of our last fall election, one of the most distinguished physi cians in this city called at our residence and made the following statement. In the summer o f 1832 he attended a great number o f Cholera patients against whom he made no charge, and among those he succeeded in rescuing from the grave were a great number of the Irish poor. In the spring of 1834 tw enty-nine of these men called upon him and asked to be instructed how to vote at the pending Charter Election; he gave them W h ig tickets and they deposited them in the Ballot Boxes. On the Saturday preceding the fall contest, he sought out these men and again gave them W h ig tickets, which they promised to use. H e subsequently discovered that gne of them at least, had not voted the W h ig ticket; and on enquiry ascertained that all the others had voted for Jackson and misrule. T h is induced him to send for one of the most re spectable of their number of whom he enquired why they had deceived him. The man hesitated ;on for his conduct, _th in appear ungrate- for a long time to assign any reason for his conduct but at leng said, that rather than appear ungrate ful he would state the truth, which was that thi ^riest had been am o n g them, and they died to vote the T o r y ticket!! This is one o f many instances o fih the ances o f e kind; but it may be said that the man did not tell the truth, ) will give another fact about which there con be no mistake. An Irish gentleman who is tio ^ a Catholic, was on a visit to a Catholic friend shortly after the fall Election. W h ile there a Priest called to whom he was introduced as a countryman, and as it was under the roof o f a Catholic no doubt he was supposed lo be of that Religio.n. After s( conversation on the subject of the election he put to the Priest the question, “ w-ell, what course did you advise our c o u n trym e n to pursue in the recent election?” H e answered unhcsitatii R in the itingly,— “ Oh p together and : only mode o f let him send for any portion of his Caiholic fl and make them tell the truth, and he will discc that with two exceptions, all the Irish Clergy in thiscity have taken an active and highly improper, part in Politics. T h e Bishop says, “ it is a prin ciple of the R. C. Clergymen not to interfere in politics,” and “ it is well known not one of them ever interfered at all either publicly or privately.” That the Bishop has been greatly deceived by those around him is evident from these hasty assertion: so utterly at variance with the his Clergy, and consequently Clergy is of no value except as regai W h y w e ourself, when in communion i Lclrson party, never attended a political festival Tam m a n y t la ll that an Irish R o m a n Caiholic riest in full communion with the Bishop, did not md and ask a blessing upon the feast; and doubt is the practice to this day. H ave also attei political purposes and as w e before said, > h a v e been p r o s titu t e d to hout his being apprised of it, usiore said, his denial of it ----- nothing when weighed against the fact cumstances within the knowledge of every this community.

T h e intelligence from Brussels is somewhat sin gular, and the principal circumstance related in it, appears to have made a great sensation, as well as to have excited much discontent— at least among the oppositionists. Their papers are ful! o f indig nant articles on the subject.

Such were the appearances ; but the real action and organization of the whirlwii doubtless continued much the same, from its fii origin to its final disappearance at sea. T h e effects are certainly much the same in all parts o f its track wlierever it touched the earth. The motions o f the air itself arc o f course invisible, and of the visible matter, such as clouds and other more ponderous objects affected by the whirlwind, only the lateral o r ve r ti c a l movements can be perceived acco rd in g to tlie laws o f penspectivc, and it ffiay Well be doubt ed whether the violent motion, of real whirl wind around ilscentralcone dr vortex’ i i ever seen at all—but only Us elTects upon* the exten’or and surrounding clouds and floating matter.

T h e Rev. Dr. Milledollar, who from the College in New-Brunswick view'ed the tornado with great attention during its progress, says, that it appeared at times to contract very much in its lateral dimen sions, assuming a very dark and dense appearance —again it would expand itself and exhibit a more smoky and fiery aspect. T h is accords well with the appearance o f the track, which about a mile east o f New-Brunswick is narrowed in passing through a field of grain to a width not exceeding one hundred feet, but on striking a wood immedi ately contiguous, the trees are affected on a width of two hundred feet, showing an expansion in the body o f the real whirlwind as it ascends from the earth, while the cloudy or dusty cone which ap pears in its centre near the earth, rtssumes a contra- ly form.

The article is written with much ability, and the pressing importance of having those laws im mediately repealed is set forth in language that cannot fail to convince all but those who are willing to sell the country to secure the spoils of office. If ignorant and unprincipled foreigners, who know and care nothing about our institutions are to control our elections, ** may cease to expect any thing like an honest or enlij ened expression of public opinion upon any subject. W e hope the attention of all native Americans will be turn ed to this important topic, and that a united effort will be made to have the naturalization laws repealed, that those enemies o f republicanism who are prowling about the country in all directions, and striving for influi and power, may be speedily arrested in their worl evil, and rendered powerless at elections. If there Is not enough of native republicanism in the country to keep'the government in the right path without calling in foreign aid, the seeds o f death are already sown through our system, and our boasted republic is on the high road to ruin. There is another able article from the Courier and Enquirer, showing the extent of tho interference of the Catholics and the Caiholic priests, as a body, in elec tions, to wliich the reader’s attention is invited. This, like tho one above mentioned, shows the great impor tance of preventing foreigners in future from exercising the privileges of the elective franchise, O’C o nnell G u . ir d s . —An attempt has been made and is still making, lo raise a regiment of infanlry or artillery, in New-York, to be called the “ O’Ooiinell Guards,” and composed of Irishmen. This dariri tempt of the Irishmen, aided no doubt by many Ai cans who will stop at nothing lo gain political influence, to raise and establish a military corps of foreigners in that city, has aroused the just indignation and alarm the native citizens. There might as well be a ro{ ment of mercenaries in the pay of a foreign gover ment quartered upon the city as a body of such me thing, and who liesitalo to involve the city in civil war. They could never be needed for any purpose of public defence, the attempt to organise and arm them as military corps is therefore the vile, incendiary and traitorous scheme that has been set on foot in this country.
