NATIVE AMERICAN ASSOCIATIONS.
Preamble and Constitution Of the Nqtiue American
.assuciQtion Of the United SLaLes.

.assJciation Of the Uniied States.
Whereas 1t is an admitted fact that all Governments
are only capable but bound by all the principles of
national Preservation to govern their affairs by the
cy of their citizens and we believe the republican
form of Government 20 be ohect OF fear and dis
like to the advocates of monarchy in Europe and for that
reason if for other in order to preserve our nstitu
tons pure and unpouted we are imPerativeiy called up
to administer peculiar system tree OF all foreign
influence and interference BY admitting the stranger
indiscrmnaely to the exercise Of those high attributed
yAich constitute the rights Of the native born Amerlhan
citizen, weaken the attachment Of the native, andgain
naught but the sordd allegiance OF the foreigner Inc
ights Of the American which he holds under the Cons
non the Revolution and exercised by him as the go
o;s prerogave Of his birth, calculated to stimulate
action, condense TO strength and cement III sentiment
and patriotic sympathy.
Basng then the ght and duty TO confederate on these
high truths profess other object than the promotion
of our native country in all the walks of private HONOR
public credit and national independence; and therefore
we maintain the right in its most extended FORM of the
native born American and he only to exercise the va
GUS duties incident to the ramifcaons Of the laws exc
cutive Legislative ministerial from the highest to the
lowest post Of the Government: and TO- obtain this great
end shall advocate the ehre repeal OF the naturaza
ton law by Congress. Aware that the Constitution for
bids, and if it did not we have no wish to establish
er post tacto laws the action seek with regard to the
laws of naturalization is intended to act in prospective
character We shall advocate equal liberty TO all who
born equally free to be so born, constitutes when
connected with moral qualities in minds, the arsto
cracy of human nature Acting under these generic prin
cples further hold that to be permanent people, we
must be united one, bound together by sympathles, the
result Of political origln and to be national, we
must cherish the native American sentiments to tho entire
and radical exclusion OF foreign opinions and doctrines IN
troduced by foreign paupers and European Poica az
venturers From Kings our gallant ioreathers won ner
berties slaves OF Kings shall not win them back
again. -.
lemny believe that the day has arrived when the Amerl
should unite as brothers TO sustain the strength and
purty Of their political institutions. We have reached
that critical period oeseen and by some Of the
cearsighted apostles Of freedom when danger threatens
from every ship that floats the ocean to our shores;
when every wind that blows watts the ragged pauPers to
our cities bearing in their persons and characters
the elements Of degradation and disorder 10 Preven'
these evils we are called upon to unite cur energies
To fight over this great moral revolution the shadow oi
our first revolt Of glory will be the duty Of the sons Of
those wars, and we must go into the combat determined
to abide by our couay TO preserve her honor Tree from
contagion, and her character as separate people hgh
and above the engraftment Of monarchical despotsns
