The native American., 1837-10-14

tiopary fathers relieved country from dependence
on foreign power so the American party destined
to achieve second independence, and to rescue us
from foreign influence and control The cloud which,
at tho time the right Of suffrage was extended, was mo
bipoe than mans hand" has expanded until tcovers
the whole political horizon; and unless something is
DONE and done speedily, II threatens not only TO
rase our patriotic efforts for the preservation of
rights and iberes but to subject The whole fabric Of
our republican institutions to foreign influence and
control In the last five years, 900 foreigners have
arrived at the port Of New York alone direct from sea;
add to this the great numbers arrived at other ports in
the Union--the Immense influx from Canada-the
100000, it is said, coming from Germany and let
wait for years, and, owing to our political divisions
there will be person in Office from constable to
Senator. who will not be The representative of a
foreign vote, if foreigner himself and the native
citizen will be an alien in the country Of his birth.
We sometimes met by the objection, that if we
discourage emigration, we do our country an injury !;
but they mistake the OLDEST Of the Native American
party, who suppose them unfiiendly to foreigners.
They not for placing any impediments in tho way
of emigration for they hold that every man, who pos
sesses the ability and the willingness to labor, how
ever poor he may be, adds to the actual wealth of the
country nor do they class paupers any but the
tual inhabitants Of foreign aims houses own,
such have lost their Of independence by recei
wing parish relief. To all they are willing TO extend
full protection, in person and property, and in every
lawful pursuitto all in the country, the benefit Of
our naturalization laws, they at present stand, but
closing the door firmly and forever against all
cessions. They wish to preserve the public faith,
far as it is already Pledged and may have acted
lnducement for any TO come to u.s. nvioate and thus
understood by foreigners, it is generally satisfactory
them, for they see that it gives additional value
the rights they already possess.
After the present generation shall have passed away
and the places which occupy shall be filled by our
own children, we shall If the objects Of the Native
American party are attained, have national charac-
teran identity Of feeling and interests which do
not now possess and never shall long our natn
raization laws remain unaltered.
We have been personally accused of being nnfrend-
y to foreigners. We repeI the charge with scorn and
contempt. Look for some whom we have exposed in
Robinson. fnr nstance-and the return is, non est in
uentus." Go to their Office in Dublin, end you will
find it besieged ny the deuded demanding return tor
passage money on contracts never fulfilled, and Great
ing popular tumuts. Go 10 their Office in this city,
and you will be answered. the parties have found II con-
veent TO be absent; and, unless mistaken, be-
fore long, there will be other developments Of the same
description.
We claim, then, for ourselves and the Native Amer.
lean party, the appeaton Of the true friends OF the
foreigner and the emigrant We would give them
every projections and every opportunity Of advance
ment. We would guard them against delusion and
imposition, and would promote their happiness and
we'll being, by tonfning them TO the pursuit OF proper
ty, happiness, and responsibility, and keeping them
of our Political squabbes and divisions their chill
dren will possess privilege rendered more valuable
by their exclusion. But there is one distinction we
would extend to the foreigner Of good character GER
tfcate Of citizenship, en- his having served for seven
years in the United States military naval service,
his being disabled battle under the star spangleG
banner Of our country twill then be mark Of honor
to be an American citizen but, shared as il is at pre-
sent with the refuse foreign poorhouses, the refugee
from Justice the incendiary, and the assassin pursued
BY the ayenger Of blood. cast upon our shores as
second Botany Bay by the clemency Of monarch, it
will soon become term of disgrace.
1t is iime then, that native and adopted citizens
should put their hand to the work-the redemption Of
our common country; and that the Native American
party-ts aims and objects nnderstood-should be the
prevalent party throughout the Union.
Our strength may not lay in the Atlantic cities but
even there, already the conservative party and
wherever throw united strength, that division
must and will triumph but wherever, in the country,
we shall raise the Native American banner, we shall
rally around il the democracy Of numbers, in the hon.
est yeomanry, who will merge all distinctions OF CLAY.

felt the power Of it in their against the United
States Bank, and the DEMOCRATIC NATIVE REPUBLl-
CANS will show the force Of it at our elections.
Let, therefore, silly politicians characterize native
and adopted citizens as factionists, because they
in favour Of restricting the elective franchise they
show their ignorance and their want of patriotism, and
will be disgsaeed and defeated at the polls; shall
we hesitate to every exerton in our power to OBJ
