The native American., 1838-02-10

We were in hopes that we would have been able to
publish in this number the spirited remarks of the Hon.
WM d. MERRIcK, in the Senate by which our readers
would have perceived that he has embraced almost to
their full extent the views Of the Native American Asso-
Citations of this and other cities.
On the same occasion Mr. CLAY forth boldly,
and declared his sentiments in favor Of Native principles
and in the discussion the Presumption Bill grounds
were taken which it pains to reflect upon, and by
those too, who should have borne the banner high
as any. Mr.. BUCHANAN, Mr. NoRvELL, Mr.. BENTON,
and others took part with Foreigners against the Native
American party; and one gentleman Mr. YOUNG, while
he contended for all the principles OF our creed, de-
nounced us, because called ourselves Native So
a name can make man hate creed but we will not
change it, though may thereby win from mpostors
the inheritance of our fathers.
In the course of the debate Mr.. Buchanan said there
was morbid excitement getting up in the country against
foreigners; TO which Mr. Clay replied that there was
morbid feeling existing in their favor.
These senatorial indications cheering; and hold
steadastly to the belief that will be the true and
holy cause after all
In truth it covers all other American grounds. 1t is
bold fearless system of projections; and we are dis
charging solemn engagement to transmit the nherl-
tance of our liberty uncontaminated TO posterity The
extracts which publish oday from Morse, show that
there is foreign combination to put down our Liberties
This is no morbid bait to gull the timid entrap the
nervous patriot We do regousy believe that there is
d.poon at least in Europe, to political prnci-
nles overturned There must inevitably exist hatred
to our free and republican form Of government and trust
ing to the enchantment of their long possessed power
the kings and monarches beyond the seas feel that the
battle must be fought between the right beauteous genius
of ibery and the boated but gallant champion OF the
Crowns.
Feeling this, opportunities will be seized, whenever
they Offer to weaken the confidence of citizens
in the strength Of their political palladium
For this purpose, how easily for the Governments OF
England Austria Germany and Russia, leaguing to-
gether in the discharge of the heavy pecuniay expense
to assist each other in the general crusade against
Young freedom. Let but Europe hear Of the invitation
to all her rabel to flock to western ands and every
facility will be granted TO the pauper and the convicted
feons Of their jas to crowd onward to the Ell Dorado
Like swarm Of Iocusts they will gnaw down our forests
eat up our harvess and the land with their gnor-
ance and barbarty.
Now in this country the mechanic arts flourish to ade
ouate exten all are supplied with work. the hum ofcon
slant industry rises the air and fills the whole nation with
prosperity and peace We gradually strengthening
ourselves truest way for young people to win the
maturity of sound and vigorous life; but to the me-
chanc arts if the millions of Europe flooded upon
us-our artisans will pine for competency The
hordes OF foreigners always willing to underworld
the native They have been accustomed to live on the
merest dregs of vegetable and animal productions, and
can underbd the proud mechanic of the Cned States.
Thus an honorable profit will be destroyed in the
chanic lines Of business while in the public Offices
different standard Of merit will be established "Can
you influence your countrymen" will be the question put
to the alien applicant by those high in Offices and will
ling subserviency will forever reap the reward at the
hand Of political knaves and all the channels ofour pros
perity thus damed up, we will cease to exist as ma
tion but basey lie upon natal SOIL abect in mental
and physical capacities But this bitter cup will not be
held to lips. We know the feeling that exists among
the members of the Native American Association in this
District and if our brethren elsewhere felt like them
we would hear from every quarter, instructions to Re-
representatives. to vote for repeal of the Naturalization
Law.
