YAZoo CITY:
SATURDAY EVENING, NOV. %. ga,
Native A1nerrcanism.

Native AmerICamiSm,
Stripped OF the various Suises it has assumed
since the days of John Adams, Of alien and Sc
tition noIorcty, has in the recent contest been
as severely reprimanded with defeat as attended
its advocates in ninety Such must ever
be the inevitable consequence attending the eff
forts Of the enemies of republican government.
To the demOcrdcy of Pennsylvania and New
York must all praise be awarded. Opposed as
they we're by the combined forces Of federalism,
Whiggery, Native An,ericanisn and Abolition
lem, still triumph has sealed with appreciation
their patriotio exertona. And the victory ac-
quircd by them, reestablishes their claims to the
prominence they occupied previous to the strug-
Gle of 1910. We'll may they exhibit a conscious
feeling of just pride in resuming their original
positions occupied by them in the adamantine
arch OF the Union.
With the friends and advocates Of partial le-
gislution, Native Americanism) the republican
party of the United States can, never act in con-
cert--their professions, acts and declarations
place as wide gulf between the two As sepa-
rates truth from fulsehood. Error ami prejud ice
may have led from the fold of republican virtue
and simplicity, a few-but their return arain TO
The support of the rights Of the whole family of
man and to the further establishment Of the
principles which nerved in fierce combat the arms
of our fathers, can BE hailed in the result cxhil
tied in the recent contest in these States for
President.
And what sympathy can be extended by the
Democracy TO those VINO Claim ;.n.uu,.ity |
the accident of birth, and would bar from the
participation in the benefits Of our government
the hardy sons of other IOnds, who unhesta-
tingy surrender all joys TO enable them to meet
with us on equal terms in this broad arena of
freedom! Do they, when becoming citizens OF
this republic ask for additional favors to be |
granted! Do they demand that the laws we
have enacted should be set.aside TO favor them
No. Bot with as much reason and justice could
they make such demands, as we can appeal for
their rights, now admitted them by the laws Of
our land, being restricted. They come among
us to be citizens OF the United States Of Ameri-
ca-our laws admit them as such and by such
admission we seal the bulletin Of freedom, writ
ten in the beet blood of nn Irish Montgomery at
Quebec. Shall we, who in our infancy, were
indebted for safety to the arms Of a Lafayette,
Kosciusko, a DeKalb, and hosts Of other for
eigners, spurn from the land rescued by their
proves from the grasp Of tyranny,-their de-
scendants, and the people of their country. Can
such an act be the one watch shall evince the
gratitude free America tenders for the services
Of those who have left their homes TO moulder
on her well fought fields! May Haven avert the
exhibition Of such gratitude by our people.
To the settlement of foreigners among US are we
Indebted for the products which cOthe and cover
in ripened grandeur the fields where once our
western forests stood, aad now laid low by the
arms of the sturdy German emigrant; by the
spade in the hands ofthe Irish labJrer have our
marshes been drained, our lowlands brought TO
cultivation, and health restored 10 the valles
where sickness ard death had held their mourn
Gul sway; though often oentering in the heart Of
the pioneer their fatal shafts.
But few We end idle-their industrious habits
they bring with them-and when once they have
rating air Of freedom, we end them filing up
and joining in ali the various branches OF our
mechanics and trades. Theyare citizens-auo-
citation, il nothing else, would distinguish them
as such. They man our ves'elsi and # danger
calls, will not the foreigner be found at his post,
in the van, aud longing for an opportunity that
be may eyince his devotion TO bis adopted land
Such was the case in the late war with England,
When Massachusetts, refused 70 send her citizens
beyond her own borders, when called upon 70
aid in ehastising English aggression. And Mas
sachuseiis is whig State now, aud always has
add ever viii be, what in modern Pra'e is called
NATIVE AMERICAh!
Are these men to be divistsd Of the rights they
now enjoy, and by then entered into with good
f-ithl Shall our country, contrary 10 al for
