The native American., 1839-06-08

Gus discrimination, are to 60 out whether good
men or otherwise; and those who are the favored,
under the mantle Of some political Elijah, are to
stay in.
We hope this effort to impose upon the judg-
ment as well as the integrity OF the Department
particularly alluded to, for unjust and meretricious
purposes, will fail Of its end and that the Amer-
can feeling of the Commissioner Of the General
Land Office, whose course of conduct is marked
out by Typographical authority in anticipa-
ton, will prevail over the unmany and puerile
dictation of this new apostle Of public justice and
act consistently with his own sense of proprety,
and with that prevailing feeling which dictates
the patronage and employment of natives in pre-
ference to all Others. The Chief of that De-
par1ment has now an opportunity of illustrating
his independence and of demonstrating that
where the law does call for sacrifice, it shall
not be Of the bread and employment of his own
kindred. The General Land Office contains
number Of naturalized citizens, and for aught, we
know, of aliens, about some Of whom there were,
when the political news was doubtful, many lu-
dicrous stories, founded upon the Vicar of Bray
sayings and doings Of those statutory citizens
who huzzaed one day for Harrison, and the next
for Van Buren,.
We care not what party man is Of; we advo-
cate nor denounce neither; but we do say that
when the question, as to loss of Office is between
The native and the adopted CITIZEN the latter should
90 as matter of course; and we perhaps might
step far upon the threshold of politics as to adj
nit, with the present administration, that when
naturalized citizen is not particularly sure for
hours which party he belongs to, he
ought to be released from the trammels of office,
in order, that when in a free state of mind, he
may find out his true political creed.
POPULAR FLOOD FROM ANOTHER QUARTER.
What is the character of those emigrants from
Canada to the United States mentioned in the
subjoined article? Are they loyal or disloyal
subjects of Her Majesty Queen Victoria? If
loyal, why leave her dominions in crowds, seeing
the unsettled state of affairs on the lines between
the two countries :? 1t is evident that, whenever
the sol distant patriots on both sides of the line
think chance offers for success, they will renew
their outrages; and is this the way to show their
devotion to their Sovereign, by deserving her
threatened provinces in time of need and danger! !
If they be disloya, what is the plain inference to
be drawn? Why, that they are crowding over
this side to augment and strengthen the disafected
band, waiting suitable opportunity to repeat,
with more effect, in proportion to their increased
numbers, their lawless outrages on the borders.
Suppose, however, that peace should be estab-
lished, and the British authorities should disband
their military forces: the soldiery would doubt
infest us, as did the vermin of Egypt its plagued
inhabitants.
The Lewistown Telegraph states, that no less
