OUR CAUSE AND OUR PROSPECTS.

The cause in which we have embarked, we are
g.atifed TO find, is progressing with steadness,
which augn-s the best results to the true interests
f the country. Although the extreme excitement
which now agilates the two great political parties
Vt the nation, consequent on The near approach ot
the Presidential election, in great degree causes
the great question Of Native rights, to be some
what overlooked, yet the nrreaing interest which
our private sources dscoses to US, gives assur-
ance that the great struggle between Native rights
and foreign interference is but temporarily post
poned. As soon az the casual excitement, which
now agiatcs the whole people, shall have passed
away, the great object, which for three years we
have had constantly view, will present itself to
the people in such an aspec! must enlist the
feelings of every patriot in the land.
We cannot be mis- aiken when we express our
conviction, founded upon the best information,
that ere another year rolls round, the cause OF
Nniiue .4me,lcanism will absorb the considera-
ton of all others, Of minor importance,-and
what subject is there that is not of minor impor-
lance 1t is true--and the virtuous people OF the
country feel that it is true-lhat some vigorous
measures should he adopted to protect the free IN
s'ilu,ions Of the country from being overrun and
rampled upon by those who feel none of that love
of country. which is the very life-blood OF our
liberty and our institutions.
We are now making arrangements for extend
ing the usefulness Of this paper, by sending it
abroad through the whole land. and in quarters
especially where the people are ready to take part
in the great struggle that awaits u.s. bu: who have,
as yet, heen in almost utter ignorance of the sand
VIII Oh has been taken by and our gallan! friends
in Louisiana. We say then to our friends, cheer
up, and holl oa with spirit to the good cause and
.ely upon it that the clouds which have for time
overcast our prospects are clearing away, and a
bright and glorious dawn awaits us.
