AMERICAN ALMANAC.

We have received from Mr.. Franck TAYLOR
the "American Almanac" for lSi3-and, from
glance al its contents, we feel authorized TO
II commend il as most valuable collection of
miscellaneous knowled ye-embracing many de-
parlments Of science, political, astronomical
and statistical.
To the politician ii is valuable as a manual of
reference he will find in its pages lit OF the
and Constitutions, and returns of the late Pre-
sdentia campaign, with other various iniorma.
ton useful in his vocation. The scientific in
diyidual has but to turn 10 its contents to di.-
cover the elements for facilitating the eIuclda-
ton of ma hematical problems, or TO discover re-
suits prepared for his inspection; and to the po-
lilical economist, we cannot too warmly com
mend the Commercial Retrospect" which i'm
bodies in fewer words and clearer style than we
have ever before met, the history of the cause of
our late commercial and agricultural depression.
Every man who aims TO be legislator, every
one who wishes to und rsiand the invariable
rules Of trade, upon which so much of every
ones prosperity depends, should give that arli-
Gle net only one careful perusal, but equent
and exclusive attention, that it may be indclIbly
impressed upon the memory.
We are sure the purchase Of this book will
be repaid an hundred fold by the information it
conveys.

Earnest writes us to say that ne and great
many others Of different politics have resolved 70
break of from all existing parties and iorna Ma
tive American party Very well: the world is
WIDE, and this is a tolerably free country. Al
we ask is thatthosc who regard the Protective Pol
icy and the election Of Mr.. Clay IN lS44 as OF vi
tai Importance will not be scduced into this new
movement. We know good many sterling
Wings whom it may drive away from us, not d
man that viii gam by it. Always heretofore
we have seen Loco ocos coax Wings into these
Native American movements, and then back
cut and excite the Adopted Citizens and inmi-
grants against the Wigs Those who, like our
correspondent, are disposed to cast every other
consideration to the winds, may dip INTO new
projects but we prefer TO secure the good within
reach instead Of grasping al shadow and thus
losing every thing Native imcrcanism viii
amount 10 little beside exciting i'll viii and hatred
between our Native and Adopted Citizens, and
transforming few little men INTO great ol.cs,
pro tenn.
AS to Naturalization, every man knows that
the provisions Of the law are shamefully evaded,
and the privilege grossly abused. We VIII do
what We can to correct these evils. The law re-
quires unblemlsAed moral character OF those adj
united to citizenship. Let this be adhered TO,
with the other acquisitions Of the law, and the
swasms of foreign thieves, baclilegs, and drunk
ards which Europe annually pours upon our
chores would no longer be admitted TO poiute our
ballot-boxes and disgrace our honest and worthy
Adopted Citizens We wish these could be in
duced to take hold Of this matter. and repress the
fragrant eyasions of the law which ultimately
operate most iniurlously upon them. But as to
etfectIng any alteration of the law TO render It's
exactlons more stringent, the idea is utterly CHI
merical. The thing cannot be done, and if it /
could the States will claim and exercise the right /
of admitting aliens to citizenship In derogation OF
the law, as Illinois and Michigan have already
done; and then where is your Naturalization
Friends OF Henry Clay at this moment our
German Adopted Citizens, several thousand
strong, are in open revolt against Tammany Hail. [
and the Irish perfectly understand the juggIcs of
that den Of iniquity and countcnancc them only |
for so long as shall suit their own purposes The |
Native American movement is expressly calcu [
lated, ifnot designed to drive these stragglerS all
