We call the attention to the speech of Mr.. Swea-
nv, delivered at the meeting Of the Native American
Association, on the 1lh instant.
The allusion made by Mr. Sweeny to an Tlshman
..ear to him. who refused to vote for foreign
ddate in order to rebuke the arrogance of his country
man, was Mr.. Sweeny's father.
lFOwing to Mr.. Beck's other engagements, he has
found it impossible act as Agent for this paper
We are therefore, without Agent. and persons de-
sous of becoming subscribers, will please call at the
office of the Native American, Elliot's Buildings,
Pennsylvania Avenue.
AS we have not got carriers we'll drilled, mis-
takes may in the delivery of papers, and in such
instances we would thank those of subscribers who
should be waited upon, to call at our office, send
us their naues, and the mistake will be corrected.
TO CORRESPONDENTS.
We regret exceedingly that we have mislaid the
communication Of sssubscrber'' from Georgetown.
We hope he will call over and see us personal
interview would be desirable with him.
We have received the communication signed Jack
son man in which he very cogently the futile
charge that the Native American Association, is nen-
ded for political purposes. That idle accusation is
daily wasting itself away, from its own weakness and
we therefore think it needless to defend ourselves
from so poor charge. We shall however be glad
to receive further communications from talented
correspondent upon any other subjects connected with
the great cause.
We have received lone; splendid and fervd poem,
and will give it insertion in our paper as soon as
possible.
"Omar' has been received and will be attended to.
