NATIVE AMERICANIsM.

We have been SO often asked, What are
the objects proposed by the Native American
Associations, and we have SO frequently an
swered those inquiries, that we must be ex-
cused for occasional tautology. But, we
have been SO much tainted with a want OF
aim, that we deem it expedient often to recur
to first principles, and to replyto some OF the
questions put to us, in way that we hope
will be satisfactory.
Thousands Of emigrants, among whom, IN
order that the rule may be established by the
strength Of exceptions, might be found many
honest and valuable people, have been annu-
ally poured into the United States, filling the
land with languages and habits strange and
uncouth. They come from every country
in Europe, but particularly from Germany and
Great Britain. The former casts forth its
surplus beggary by the subscriptions of her
princes, and the latter by regular system
Of taxation upon the parishes. The necessi-
ty OF Kidding those established governments
of these people is obvious, if persons will turn
their attentions to the wild and agrarian doc
trines that are there preached, and which these
irresponsible people are selected to carry out.
Reaping no benefit or protection from the
laws, save from that which doomed them to
dependence and immortality, they were
known to be willing at any time to lift the
black flag Of desolation. and under the COM
mand Of unprncipled demagogues, march on
to plumber and destruction. They are now
shipped to this country, ignorant Of the laws
of their native land, and with but one instinct
still alive--the natural affection even for the
novels OF sin or the palaces of shame, where
they were born--they come to us, say they,
to increase the worshippers Of liberty. They
may love liberty, but do they love our laws
that consecrate that liberty to all the purpo-
ses Of divine Justice and social peace? Do
they know aught Of the concessions made by
the native population, among themselves, for
the restraining Of the wild impulses SO Incl.
