LOUISIANA .NArIvE AMERICAN"

LOUISIANA "NArIVE AMERICAN"
1t cannot be generally known as yet, that one
of our auxiliary associations in Louisiana has es-
tablished daily paper with the above title we
say il cannot yet be generally known because II
has been only very recently established: but, in
asmuch as ii is engaged in a most righteous, pa
trotc and tariving cause, and is certainly conduc-
ted with more than usual talent, even as compared
with the very best papers of our country, we can
not avoid calling public attention to it everywhere,
and inviting our co-aborers in typography, Of
whatever party to notice its objects and its career
We extract the following descriptive deposition
from one of its last numbers.
From the NJ O. Native aper.can
The difference between native American
Wing and native American Democrat, is the
following:
The Democrat believes that by slow and
steady process, country with her great facil-
ties, will eventually acquire the acme of national
greatness, and that altho' more slowly acquired,
yet her greatness when attained, will be more
firmly based. The Wing on the contrary, believ-
ing our country susceptible, from her boundess
facilities of attaining by rapid strides, the full
stature of colossal manhood, is desirous of push
ing her immense resources to the utmost extent
to attain speedily as possible, the highest point
of national power and glory.
And both parties are actuated by pure love of
country, operating through different perceptions
of the same ultimate object, but well know and
feel that whenever crisis comes, In which the
security of our common country is perilled, both
parties will lay down their peculiar opinion, and
rush to the rescue Of their common country, as
was evidenced by the late unanimous vote Of both
parties in Congress, when the President of the
United States was invested for a time with al
most dictatorial powers.
But what's foreign American patriotism! Why,
one press inimical to General Jackson's election,
madly hazards the suggestion, that she is Irish
man, or that it is matter of doubt whether he
is an American or an Irishman," and instantly
nine hundred and ninety out Of every thous-
and Irishmen in the United States, are ready to
lay down their lives to elect him-and he is elect
Martin Van Buren, succeeds him--he promises
to sfollow in the footsteps of his illusrious pre-
decessor," and dees so as closely as possible
commercial embarrassments arise, and deep pecu-
mary distress overRhelms the commercial COM
munity.
Where are now the countless Irish patriots
who supported General Jabkson with such en-
thusiasm, when they heard that it was doubtful
whether he was not himself an Irishman?
Where are they Row?-when the same politi-
cal principles are carried out by his successor,
which were projected by General Jackson him
self. Echo answers where !!
Where are they now!-Their pockets have
been touched With no holy love Of Democratic
institutions to govern them, they not prepared
to suffer for the faith that is in then-so long as
Irish pride was fattered by the exaltation OF a
supposed Irishman to the Presidency-so long
they were laundering Democrats; now when they
suppose that their private interest will be sub
served by a change Of party, they are roaring
Wings.
Are these the principles which are to actuatc the
American citizen in his political aspirations, and
to control the elective franchise Of our country
or if they do-how long will our republic en-
dure?
Does the Wing party believe that partizans OBJ
tanned by such flimsey inducements, are to be de-
pended upon to sustain their principles!
If they do, they will find themselves deceived.
When the time of trial comes, and the clouds of
adyersity lower over the Wing party, their for
eign allies will abandon them as they have so re-
Gently done the Democratic party.
But are our country's institutions to be depend
ant on the vascillang masses of foreign citizens,
who like the " cowboys" of the revolution hang
on the skirts of both armies, ready after each
battle to join the victor, and pounce upon the van
quished of either party!
If these are to be the bases of American party
trumphs, with the immense masses Of foreigners
which are now swarming into the United States,
American institutions will soon be overthrown,
and The Sun Of American Liberty aciH speedily
set IN blood.
Nothing can save us but total and final RE-
PEAL OF THE NATURALIZATION LAWS, NOW AND
FOREVER.
