But il further proof were necessary 10 es.
tablish the affinity Of feeling existing between
the Natives and a large portion Of the Wings,
| it is furnished in letter recently written by
Senator Archer, Of Virginia. to committee
of Natives, in which he pledges himself as
follows:
''.ft tile ensuing session Of Congress I shall
sci our ball in motion. 1t will te driven back
for time, for the slang CT ''asyium for the
oppressed of all countries" is just now as
cenda ant; imparting as it really does in its re-
suits, tina. the oppressed shall be received here,
without privilege TO become the oppressors
without restraint. But we shall snbdue this
slang, as political men come &c find THAT they
may express their nausea for it with impunity.
This lesson, yon. the people, must impress on
them. for it is through their instrumen,ality
that our purpose and work Of conservation is
10 be accomplished"
Mr.. Archer is known to be the warm per.
sonal and political friend Of Mr.. Clay, and
was his second in the difficulty with Col.
King. There are therefore grounds for the
belief that his letter speaks the sentiments Of
| his friend as well as himself. The "ball''
which is to put in motion a. the next session
of Congress is the project for changing the
naturalization laws, and introducing the twen-
ty.one years residence qualification.
! Against any such innovation upon the pre-.
sent laws the Democracy ever have warred,
and they ever will war. They consider it un-
reasonable and unjust to make men bear the
burdens of taxation, and submit TO all the re-
quirements Of law, for so long time, without
admitting them to the full enjoyment Of the
rights of citizenship. Resolutions declara,o.
| ry of their views upon this bject have been
| passed at all the National Democratic conven-
| tons which have been held within the last
eight years and perhaps we cannot more APP
propriately close our remarks at present than
| by re-publishing the one adopted by the late
| convention which nominated Mr.. Polk. 1t is
| as follows:
"Resolved. That the liberal principles en-
| bodied by Jefferson in the Declaration Of Ia.
| dependence, and sanctioned in the Consiitu.
ton, which makes ours tie land Of liberty,
and the asylum Of the oppressed Of every ma
| ton, have ever been cardinal principles in the
Democratic faith and every attempt TO a.
| bridge the present privileges Of becoming cit
liens and the owners Of soil among us, ought
TO be resisted with the same spirit which
swept the alien and sedition laws from our
statute book"
