The Globe quotes from the Albany Argus, some ami
madversions against the Native American Association
Il think the Globe had better mind its business
and attend to the "Madsonian, of which it evideatl
has its hands full.
j The Argus calls the s'Natve American ga pest
lent print" Yea! Verify. 1t is indeed "pestilent'
to the enemies of the rights of Native Americans
to the enemies of pure republican principles and epub
lican institutions. To all such, it is "pestilent''-ust
as temperance and exercise are pestent to disease.
The Argus says, that the "Native American Associ-
| alton" Fprofesses to wage "a proscriplive warfare
against all foreigners whom it stgmatizes,' &c. This
such perversion Of the TRUTH that call it gross
fasehood would be no more than it merits. confess
cannot but regard this with regret for hitherto had
been accustomed to pay the Argus unfegned respect.
But what can |, what ought to think of paper that
thus wantony and publicly asperse an Association
IN the very face Of the record! ! know not whether
the Editor of the Argus is foreigner or native.-
But, whatever he be, know that in the revolution
we had an Arnold; and we have no reason to suppose
that foreign gold has get lost its influence on this side the
ocean,
"Who needs to be informed" says the Argus, ssthat
this Native American feeling is exclusively of Wing
origin!" True. We glory in this origin. 1t did in
deed, begin with those good old Wings, Washington
Jefferson, Adams, Hancock, Madison, Carroll, and
their worthy and venerated compeers Yes truly; this
"Natlve American feeling is Of this Whig origin
There is not a smack Of old Ioryism in it. They,
with whom it originated, transmitted it us vigorous
and fourishingand it still lives, and will live in spite
of all the powers of Europe and their hired presses
The Argus strives to make the community think that
we are connected with of the political parties of
the day. We will prove this charge to be false by our
actions.
The Argus stgmatizes the principles of our Associ
alton with the epithet of ''detesable. What are our
principles! That foreigners who shall hereafter come
to the United Staes shall not acquire the right to vote
for officers of Government and to hold Offices SO ea
silly as they do. These are the principles which
the Argus and every despot of Europe, who desires
the subversion Of republican institutions sdetest'
from their very souls.
The Argus says Federal principles, and will
meet with the sreprobation of the democracy" Our
federalism is the federalism of Washington, and our
democracy, the democracy of Jefferson. Our princ-
pies may meet the eprobation of the Argus democracy
but know it will not meet that Of the Jefferson de-
mocracy. What says Mr. Jefferson in his letter to
dalion says he, shad been given e .n recommen

ary tory in any Of his oices These the princi-
pies of the immortal Jefferson, the father of American
democracy-and these the principles which the
Albany Argus says are ssdetestable If it be modern
democracy "detest the principles Of Jefferson the
Argus would have US believe, away with such democ-
racy from us. We detest it. We go back to the de-
mocracy Of '9S and 1901.
If paper protesting to be democratic, had ventured
in the day when Mr. Jefferson promulgated these prin-
ciples to stigmatize them as federal, and detesta
ble,' in what light would it have been regarded! 1t
would have been queer looking thing enough, and
the Editor, verify would have been pretty looking
democrat Ha! ha! ha! The bare idea. is SO ludic-
rous it makes me laugh But, people Of the United
States, mark! Be ye not deceived by names. Be as.
sured, the man who at this day will venture to de-
nounce the principles of Jefferson sas detestable,"
was never democrat at heart. He has only it
as cloak to hide from your eyes his love of Kings
and other monarchica deformities

and foreign domination here, away with iI We will
have none of it. The Argus and its adheents well
come to it ALL But what right have they to fight for
foreign powers under false coors! Do thatlions skin
and shew yonr hideous forms!
1t is clear the Argus does not know which side Of
its bread is buttered, it would mind its own busi
ness and let the Native American Association alone.
But if it will assail US, why, be it So "Come on Mac
dufo and we'll see sswho first cries hold enough!"
