Association Of the Uaitsd States.
WHEREAS it is an admitted fact that all Government
are not only capable, bat bound by all the pIinci
rles OF sional preservation to govern their affairs
by the agency OF their own citizens and We believe
tbs republican form of our Government to be an
object OF fear and dislike to the advocates Of mon
arehy in Europe, Tor that reason, 1t for none
other, in order to preserve our institutions pure
and unpoiluted we are imprratse'y called upon ~
administer our peculiar system free of all foreign
influence and interference. By admitting the
stranger indiscriminateiy to the exercise OF those
high attributes which constitute the rights Of the
native born American citizen, we weaken the al
tachment Of the native, and gain naught but the
sordid allegia &c Of the foreigner. Thc rights Of
the American, which he holds under the Const.
taion Of the Revolution and exercised by him
the glorious pTerogatire OF his birth, are calc-
lated to stimulate TO action, condense to strength,
and cement in sentiment and patriotic sympathy.
