piesa5le and Constitution of the Natoc american
Association Of the United States.
Whereas it is admitted fact that all Governments
are only capable but bound by all the principles of
natoEa preservation, TO their affairs by the agen
cy OF their citizens, AMI we believe the republican
orn of Government TO be object of fear and dis
like TO the advocates Of monarchy in Europe for that
reason if for other order to preserve our nsu
tons pure AMI unpoited mperatiyey called up
,nanence and interference. BY admitting the stranger
indscrmnaely to the exercise of those high attributes
which constitute the rights of the native born American
citizen we weaken the attachment OF the native, and
gain naught bnt the sordd allegia Of the foreigner
The rights of the American. which he holds under the
Constitution Of the Revolution, and exercised by him
as the glorious prerogatve of his BIRTH calculated TO
stimulate to action, condense to strength, cement IN
sentiment and patriotic sympathy.
Bang, Them the right and duty to confederate on these
high truths profess no other object than the promotion
n orr native country in all the walks OF private honor
public credit and national independence and therefore
we maintain the right, in its most extended orm OF the
native born Americana and lie only to exercise the varl
Gus duties incident to the ramcaons of the laws,
uve legislative, ministerial from the highest VI the
lowest post of the GovernmcntaGd to obtain this great
end shall advocate the entire repeal OF the natlraZa
ton laws by Congress. Aware that the Constitution for
bids and if it did not, have no wish to establish
post facto laws the action we seek with regard to the
laws of naturalization is intendedo act in prospective
character. We shalt advocate equal liberty 70 all VINO
were born equally free to be born, constitutes when
connected with moral qualities in our minds the arsoc
racy Of human nature Acting under these generic prn
cip,es we further hold that 10 be permanent people,
we must be united one, bound together by sympahes,
the result of political organ and to be NATIONAL
we must cherish the Native American sentiment, to the
entire and radical exclusion of foreign opinions and doc
trnes introduced by foreign panpers and Enrop'an poll
@tical adventurers From Kings gallant oreathers
won their libertes-the slaves of Kings shall not win
len back again.
'Relgiousv entertaining these sentiments, we as So
EMMY believe that the day has arrived when the Amer
cans should unite brothers to sustain the strength and
purity of their political institutions We have reached
that critical period foeseen and prohesled oy some Of

ems from every ship that floats the ocean to our shores
when ev cry wind that blows watts the ragged panpers
to cities bearing in their own persons and characters
the elements of degradation and disorder. To prevent
these evils called to unite our energies
To fight this great moral revolution, the shadow OF
our first revolt Of glory will the duty OF the sons OF
these wars and must into the combat determined
to abide by our country preserve her honor free from
contagion and her character separate people, high
and above the engraftmen of monarchica despotlsms
