lished the public heart will be shocked at the awful and
tragical circumstances.
REPORT UPON THE MEMORIAL OF THE Ma
TIVE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION.
As the demand for this able Report by Mr.. Russell Of
New York Chairman of the Select Committee in Con-
gress upon the Memorials to repeal the laws Of Natural
izaton has been great that could not supply more
than half the applicants we have been induced to
print it in this number and now invite the attention Of
our fellow counrrymen TO careful perusal of it,
Our next paper will contain the Report of the Associ-
alton of this City upon the evils of emigration, the taxa
ton upon the increase Of papers rom foreign
countries the augmentation of criminals and crimes, and
the convincing proofs of the absolute necessity and not
mere expediency for the repeal of the laws of Naua-
zation
From this document our good citizens will see that we
had in the organization Of this Society something much
beyond the creation of political pay that We were SO
thoroughly convinced that moral condition Peo-
pie and character Nation in danger OF de-
suctve corruption from distant sources as to induce MS
men of all parties and creeds-to bury the minor con-
sderations Of Federal, Democratic and Whig destinc
TONS and generate from the whole phaanx Of patriots
who, under the of Native Americans should re-
deem the country from the effect of foreign preudices
and foreign vices abroad and from the influence of for
egners at home. We believe we shall succeed, and
trust our BRETHREN wherever they will cheer us with
the cry of all hail' Native Americans.
The attack of the Globe upon the Navy, is as OBJ
served last paper atrocious assault upon that
part of the national defence, which has given character
TO our country over the wide World. 1t perfectly in
keeping with that sayish propensity to court every thing
c,r nd tha instt Of he
prevalent in this age. The Navy sandered by the Co.
vernment Who would have thought that mother,
whose life had been saved by her brave and gallant off
spring. could have turned upon that child and sandered
and injured it This spectacle, degrading and disgust
ing now presented by the Official Paper in this City,
whose poor Editor we alone hold responsible to the
Country for this brutal and characteristic attack. We
never can believe that Mr.. Pauding the Secretary
could have penned the article for he has written for his
country in other situations, and attempted to elevate her
character upon other occasions Now, the Navy is off,
ciay degraded before the eyes OF the whole World and
that flag which Great Britain, mistress she of the
deep, could not disgrace, scofed at by degenerate
man of own country What has the Navy done to
deserve this wholesale abuseths wful misrepresenta
ton on the part of the Globe? Have not ships been
sailing every quarterdsplaying in every sea the ban
ner of free and immense People-protecting
merce in the Eastern Isles of India, among the Maays
and has not puged the Western Islands Of their pirates
so that American may repose in peace upon
those formerly ensanguined waters? We have had no
wars s true by which the laures of the last great
Act might be increased in verdure and freshness and by
which stars might be added TO the galaxy of naval
glory, but we have Navy industrious and
active and ever has been Paraysed let the fault be
laid the door of him who has inst resigned his Secrea
ryshp the Department that controls its fate The dis
cpline Of the Navy has increased based upon moral
and intellectual foundations and the junior officers that
are brought up for examination gdy questioned in
the practice of their profession, and intoxicating drink is
almost banished from among the senior officers.
Honor and genemanly department distinguish our Off
GERS and we cannot but express disgust the bare
faced impudence of the Globe in attacking branch OF
the public service, distinguished in for its bravery
and in peace for its high toned sentiments of honor
At future day will devote much attention TO this
interesting and important subject for it is wish TO
the national honor preserved unblemished in all its de-
partnent and not only to prevent them from being in
ured by Foreigners but from being nsulted by Natives
