doctrines of the Native American Societies, as pro-
mulgated by those recently established in New Or

of their forefathers can entertain such feeling
wards the oppressed Of other nations, but it is
strange to US that the editor of the Hawkeye whom
we know to have such feelings of sympathy for the
"darkes," that he would not advertise runaways for
the cash, should favor such society.
We shall not attempt to show the ingratitude or
injustice Of these societies. at present, but will
ask the Hawkeye for these societies, to tell how
in the celebrations of our National Anniversary they
pass the following sentence in the Declaration
of Independence In enumerating charges against
the King of Great Britain, it says ~
:" He has endeavored to prevent the population Of
these States for that purpose obstructing the hl,cs
for naturalization Of foreigners; refusing to pass
Others to encourage their migration hther and rails
ing the conditions Of new appropriations of lands"
If it is said our lands are now occupied. we can
point them to the extensive and uninhasited plains
Of the far west that need but the industry of the hus
bandman to make them smiling gardens.

are Native Americans, born and reared on free soil,
taught from our infancy to revere the names Of an
Emmett, Lafayette, Montgomery, Koscusko,
and DeKalb, as well as to honor the name Of less
famed foreigners, for their chivary their endurance
in the cause of universal Freedom, and it is with
shame we confess that some of our boosted Ameri-
cans have so far forgot humanity to the oppressed as
to refuse their countrymen the freedom they assisted
our ancestors in acquiring for Shame upon such
jealousy. Who are these Native Americans that
they alone should enjoy the blessings Of Liberty =
Did they bare their breast to the musket ball and
bayonet when British Tyrants sought to smother
the kindhng spark of Freedom! No--those who
engaged in that struggle saw too much herosm and
noble daring in the of foreign chimes to wish to
keep their friends in the bonds they threw Off
The members Of these societies are those who have
no other boast than their American birth and have
feeling Of ars,ocracy in their bosoms, which leads
them on IN their course that they may some day see
beings SO low that even they can look do,ya upon.

for two hours, rivetIng the attention Of
the audience; while reviewing the dis,res.
sing policy of the party now IN power, SO
far as the interest of the South is concern.
ed. His aIuslou to President TyIer's
Bank veto, was received with a bad grace
by those who elevated him, and with the
shouts OF those who opposed his election,
and who conlended for principles and not
for men, he gave an able review OF the
evils which we must suffer by the new
Tariff and destructive acts which Henry
Clay and other federaIists, are preparing
for rs. DIR. Gwin is in every respect
worthy OF the high Office to which he as
IpIres, and although he is not a lawyer,
yet he is fully able to contend for the glo
rous principles Of the jackson parity
The DIR. having concluded his most ex
cellent speech, Mr., John ID. Freeman

the most able and eloquent manner, adj
Vanced the strongest arguments agans

The original charter, OF the Union Bank, a.
well as the supplemental bill to be uncon.
