"THE NATIVE AMERIcAN.-We have neglected for
time past notice the accession Of H. Brent. Esq
the editorial department of this paper. Mr. Brent was
the editor while the paper in IFS infancy and strg
CLING against the democracy Of nun beIs. He was noble
advocate and its may be attributed III great
measure 10 his exertons MI Jones' the assistant editor,
s also gentlrma Of much merit, and good Wrlter-

1t IS win re uctance that insert the above comPi-
mentay but incorrect notice of accession to the edi
torial chair Of the Native American. We thank our
Georgetown brother sincerely for his kind remarks and
wish that he would aid by his energy to carry ont the
glorious principles that aborng to establish into
a national system. There too few laborrrs in the
field and vet the harvest is abundant. Why will not the
'.4drocue come ont for its native land, without yield
ing one inch of prediction for its avorte candidate
for the Presidencv' Our ohect IN inserting into our
columns the notice Of the Advocate" is TO correct an
error into which it has fallen. MIR. Jones' is not plain,
unsubsantial "Mr.', but is a worthy member OF the
Medra Faculty, ready and willing at all times to heal
the malides Of his fellow beings and at present laborng
to heal foul wound in the policy of his country which,
by the by is the most refractory patient our worthy
friend has met with since he took his degrees. We are
proud Of friend for he is man without fear and
without reproach There is another into which our
Georgetown cotemporary has fallen. Dr. Jones is not
the assistant editor Of This paper, but ne IS the CO.
editor responsible equally with humble self for all
the fighting, and cosbartr in ali the glory Of our mutual
omplishments. No. the Doctor is not an assistant
but he is Ieaderand to whom look for counsel
and advice in very difficult path,oder than onrse
he has the world and judged its character in various
situations life Let cali him assistant. but let
the warmest tribute Of praise and admiration gather about
his name. He shall not read this editorial in manuscript
least else would he grow and knock the type
that ushers it to the world into typical pie This the
second time that have had occasion to speak about
our editorial broer and it is not usual to hear ed
tor prasing another perhaps is not in disciplined taste
but follow nature and, accustomed to "speak ont
we utter that which do think and know 1t provokes
US to hear humble name qnzzed in this way by our
fraternal prints; and apt to grow positively angry
when we see praise coupled with "Mr Jones, in
stead of Dr. Jones' assistant stead Of senior edi
tor We work humty and yet do that labor in deep
devotion and the egosm of should not appear
at our mast head bnt that unwilling that the
nv should think that the Association cannot number two
Leona.s bold enough to stand in the pass Of danger
But there is no danger. We have been threatened, and
we have found out the threateners and despse them
They are not rationathey maniacs; and let then
come on We invite them to the attemptwe defy them t
that mortal issue, and promise, individually, to stan'
sthe fire." Dare they attempt A' No. We wall
abroad clothed in the panopy Of cause, and
from the death Of the murdered in the cowardce of h
would be assassins. They may cheat for money they
will never kill And why? Because they fear tina
mighty arm that the Native American Association can a
all times WELD that which, like the lever Of Archi
mdes preserve city or destroy the army of foe
