of sense also, when, in letter to Patrick Hen

The subject is becoming daily and hourly more

favorable indications in many quarters of pro-
per spirit arising among the people. They cam
not too soon take the subject under their most

relation to the proceedings of the Native Ameri-
cans in this city.
REPEAL OF THE NATURALIZATION LAWS.
We are gratfed to perceive that public atten-
ton has been drawn to the important subject of
repeal Of the present Naturalization Law. Re-
Gently highly respectable meeting was held in
Washington City, upon call ofupwards of sepe,,
hundred subscribers, for the purpose of forming
a s'Native American Association" the object of
which, as avowed, is to our institutions from
the corruption of foreign countries, and ourselves
from the loss of our birthrights; to attain which
the association pledge themselves to cooperate
with their fellow citizens, in all lawful means,
to procure repeal of the naturalization law; to
use all proper and reasonable exertions to exclude
foreigners from office under the General or State
Governments; and moreover not to connect them
selves with the general or local parties OF the
or be connected with any religious sect
or denomination. We hope auxiliaries may
spring up over the country to strengthen the pa
rent stem, and the laudable efforts of those who
nave engaged in this great undertaking may be
crowned with success.

THE NATIVE AMERICAN.

We have received the first number Of this pa
per, published under the auspices of the Native
American Association of this city. The open
ing address Of Mr.. Brent, the editor, gives an
earnest Of the spirit and ability with which the
paper will be conducted. He eschews all party
politics-al local jealousies-all sectional feel
ngs, political, religious and geographical; and
cleaves to the one main object of securing and
elevating Native American principles in the ad-
ministration of the Government This is as it
should be-for the subject is one that has nothing
to do with political religious parties. It is
pre-emnently and exclusively an American sub
lject-and one, too, of inappreciable importance.
How can we hope to maintain American prin-
ciples Of civil and political liberty, but by Anne
rican feelings and opinions?
The address Of the committee appointed by the
Association to explain to the people of the United
States its objects, and the mode in which it
proposes to accomplish them, is an able paper,
and deserves to be extensively circulated. 1t is
an epitome of important facts and wise reflections,
which it would be well fors every native Ameri-
can citizen to study attentively. The time. is
fully come when the most urgent necessity de-
mands that something be done to save our insti-
utions from the fate which has befallen all others
Of similar character. Rome might, perhaps, have
still been mistress of the world, had she pre-
served in their original purity the high privile-
ges of Roman citizens hip, proudly and patheti-
cally and eloquenty apostrophized by her great
orator in his speech against the tyrant of Sicily.
We trust that the able and jealous editor of the
Native American, and those who support him in
his efforts will not look to the right nor the left,
but press forward to the accomplishment of their
great design, and by restoring the fast falling prn
cples Of AMERICAN liberty, restore again the proud
honors Of American citizenship, and give assu-
rance to the world that our experiment of self
government shall be fairly tested upon its original
principles.

BILE in advance, or SO at the end of six months.
The paper will be under the editorial control of
Henry ]. Brent, Csq. of this city-a gentleman
of high character and acknowledged abilities.
We sincerely trust that the paper will meet
with extensive patronage. The time is come for
action on this great question. The ballot-box-
the great bulwark of American liberty--is fast
passing into the hands of foreigners, for so they
must be called, though domiciliated among us
Mere civil enactments cannot change men. They
may be endowed with the privileges Of American
citizens, but they cannot, by mere force of law
be converted into Americans in day:
