THE NATIVE AMERICAN.
[coMMUNICATED.]

Messrs. Editors: On the 10th inst, for the
purpose of looking at the Presidents House,
took walk thither, in company with Mr.. w. of
Indiana. As we are both entire strangers, never
having been in this city before, we stepped up to
the door of the White House, with view to gain
admlance to crafty curiosity natural to every
citizen of this free country proud Of her institu-
tions and proud of the prosperity Of the Federal
City and its many magnificent edi6ces. With
these warm feelings and these anticipations, only
judge of our astonishment at being denied admit
lance by the porter, in an insolcnt and foreign
Irish accent, who planted himself between us and
the front door, which was then open, which he
slammed in our faces, declaring we should not en-
ter. We demonstrated, and said Mr.. Van Buren,
would lose his friends by such insolen conduct
of his servants. The fellow then declared that it
was not Mr. Van Buren, but the Commissioners
orders that admittance should be denied. The
Irishman then wheeled of, most impudentlv, and
abruptly shut down the side windows, that we
should not even have peep of the peoples pro-
perty. All this, Messrs. Editors, was done in the
most offensive manner by an insoent foreigner.
Now, would ask, are these things to be tole-
rated Are we Native Americans to be trampled
on by these Irish menials-these green foreigners!
Are our feelings to be wounded by these Swiss
domestics If they are. we must have another
4th of July, and declare our independence not on
ly of foreigners, but of all those who encourage
and pamper them, to wound the feelings of true
Americans.
As this disclosure is sheer act of Justice, | am
unwilling to shrink from the responsibility, and as
Native American proud of his name and country,

To the Editors of the Natire .4nericnn:
GENTLEMEN: Like thousands of others had long
looked with dread at the accumulation of foregn-
ers upon our shores, and with still greater dread
upon the facility with which they obtained the
legal right of intermeddIing with our elections,
but almost despaired of any thing like concert of
action for the arrest of the evil, until accidentally
met with a number of your paper. Hope was
at once awakened, and felt called upon by every
principle of patriotism to lend the cause my feeble
aid, at least so far to become subscriber to
the paper; since which, as my thoughts have been
oftener turned to the subject, the more alarming
has our situation as people appeared.
| recolect, in years long passed, to have heard
the warning voice of some of our revolutionary
patriots, urging their children and countrymen to
reflect, before it should be too late, upon the
dangers which would arise from a TOO great in
tlux of foreigners; or if still permitted to come and
enjoy the fruits of the land whose freedom and
peace had been purchased by so much of priva-
tlon, of toll, and of blood, at anv rate not to allow
them to participate too in the election of its
rulers. And we'll do recollect the oucrv which
was raised against these patriots by every seeker
after popularity. Over many of them the grave
has long since closed, while the remainder, finding
no journal Independent enough to give utterance
to their views. have been compelled to weep in
silence over the delusion of their countrymen
STANCE, strange deluson And yet history is full
of warnings against it. In almost every page we
read OF nations, divided by parties, arrayed
against each other, and each inviting foreigners
TO their aid, until those foreigners have become
strong enough to assume the mastery; the only
difference being, that there the weapon has been
the sword, and here, thus far it has been the
vote. But will it be the vote twenty wears hence
II we do not arouse to sense of the danger till
then!
How cheering then it must be to everv lover
VI MS country, to witness the success of the
Ndtaoe .7mertcdn .4ssociation and to find
among It's earliest and stanchest friends, the
Intelligent Mechanics Of our CITY, Independent,
high-souled, not wishing Office, and not to be
frowned into silence by the possessors Of it. thew
will continue to memoralize for change of the
Naturalization Laws, and call upon their brethren
throughout the land to join them in it, till thai
change has been effected There is every reason
to hope, too, that our farmers, who equally pos.
sess all these high qualities, may be induced Ia
come with their all powerful aid to the rescue
before it be too late.
Let none be restrained by the oft-repeated sen.
tlment, that this country should be the s'asyum
for the oppressed of all nations'' .asyl,.n, we
are willing it should be, but we are not willing

that those who are fed by our bounty should turn
and dictate to us the manner of it. 1t is not true,
however, that this is the only asylum open to
them, for Great Britain has colonies at the Cape
of Good Hope, in New Holland, New Zealand,
and elsewhere, and offers abundant inducements
for all her surplus population to repair thither.
But no. they will not, for there they must en-
counter the privalions and dangers which our an
cestors encountered in redeeming this land from
its wilderness condition, and they will never con-
sent to encounter like prvations while we con-
tinue to offer them an equal share with ourselves
in all the blessings which our fathers tolls pur-
chased for u.s. A. B.

daring flights. Among living novelsts he has no
equal--among living writers no superior; vet we

ions-eorrect and qualify others-and tear out a.

GG5sThe following beautiful and affecting verses
were composed by the late Mr.. Conway, son of
Bishop Conway. We rejoice in having an op-
portunity oflaying them before the public, as we
believe they have never before been published.
They were presented by Mr.. Conway to the
celebrated phanthropist, Mathew Carey of PhiIa-
delphia, and by him to Mr.. Boyce, the vocalist.
Mr.. B. has an excellent voice, and gives the Irish
airs with peculiar force and thrilling effect.

tome EuHoTS " Inc NdItOe .HWeTtC"I
GENTLEMEN: ask the insertion of the enco-
sed lines from New York paper, hot because OF
their intrinsic beauty alone, butbecause they pour
tray in touching melody, that strength OF feelng
with which all men, but especially lrishmen, re-
member not only "Me red-breasfea daiSaes lhd
spangle the felds," but every tree they have
climbed and every rock they have bounded over,
in their natire land. How truly does the poet
say that :" his hearts III old Ireland wherever ne
goes" And the sentiment lives in the heart of
every man. Say what he will, every foreigner
in this country, whether native of England,
France, Spain, Germany, or Ireland, chershes
corresponding sentiment in the inmost recesses of
his heart Pluck out this love of native land from
the heart OF man, and you pluck out the heart it.
self. He who ceases TO cherish this fine feeling,
ceases TO be man and becomes monster, hate
full to himself and dangerous to society. And yet.
because you have asserted this great truth, and the
Native American Association seek to induce their
countrymen to act upon this salutary and sanitory
principle, we have seen, and still see, foreigners
of all ranks, from the smaterer of Greek and La
tin in college halls to the miserable victims of the
grog shop, senselessly lash themselves into a
phrenzy, and overwhelm you and the Association
with abuse and billingsgate. Not an lrishman
who peruses the lines send you, but whose eye
will be moistened with tear but still he will
have the bodness to assert, even while weeping
for the home he has left, that he loves this country
better than his o,cn. Credat mdeus apella, non
ego; or, in plain English, ''Tell that TO marines,
sailors wont believe it," No, gentlemen. we cn'-
not believe it; as Jack Downing says, "Hs agin
all nature" Go on, then, pursue your course
with temper, but with frmness; disregard the
SCOTS and sneers of demagogues, and the revilngs
of foreigners; and, before very long, the whole
mass of the American people will applaud and
unite with you, and even foreigners themselves,
when they come TO their senses, and look calmly
forward to the true interest of their own children,
will approve your doctrines.
