the Federal party are the bottom Of what is called
NATIVE Amercauiam," and some secretly some o.
penly advocating the passage Of law, l to pTeUent

them IN this system ofoppression lei mention few
facts Isl every Native Anne rcsn paper supports Clay
and Frelinghuysen for President Every Native Aneri-
can does the same. Nearly every federal paper us'fes
The Native Americans in their oppressive doctrines.
Nearly every federal paper claimed the Native Amer-
can victory in New York as Whig UictOry
end. Many Of the leading (sderaliss who brought ont
Clay are boldly advocating that as he is elected
they will pass law to prevent all nOurazed citizens
from holding office in The United States, and also from
voting, until they have resided here 81 years We pub
Ished few weeks ago speech Of Senator ARCHER,
Zone Of the leading Clay wings who or presenting a
petition for law as we have described above used the
following language: .........
/ IL L. had
not as yet sufficiently attracted the attention Of the peo
pie of the United States There was, he thought a
growing combination of circumstances which furnished
ample ground for the conclusion that the great mass o
uneducated foreigners, wholly ignorant of the nature
and value Of our institutions annually pouring into the
country could not within the short period Of five years
fixed by the present law become FL to with
due Of their value and responsibility, The rights
and privileges ofnaiive born citizens The premature
exercise of such rights had grown TO an evil of gea
magnitude, of which there had unhappily but too re-
Gently, been painful demonstration. Ifno other per
Son in the national councils should take up this subec
he would himself III the proper time, tChen that party
1.-THE whg party should INTO po,cer ,ohich ooutC
gus effect to vieos Of sound policy some mea
such as the emOriahsts justly concluded had noU
become necessary"
Here is what one of Clay's greatieaders says. Marl
it, he says so soon the Wings get into power the!
will give effect to resos such the Native Americans cal
for that is to disranchse all our Germans Irish ant
other citizens from ever holding Office, or voting uhti
they have spent 81 years in the country. What coulc
be more plain Since this speech this same U. s, Sen
ator has published letter in the Native American pape
in Philadelphia in which he reiteates all he said before
and adds that the moment Clay is elected "he will Sc
the ball in motion. Add to tins the fact. that most
the leading federal papers have applauded his speec
and letter, true whg doctrine, and what more proc
do you went that the Federal party are with the Nait
Americans, man, against natualized citizens. Tru
g some of their presses pretend 10 denounce it, bu, this
70 all deception. These presses who are thus Prac
:, sng hypocrisy have never published Archer's speec
nor his letter. but endeayor to keep the Germans IN til
rs dark as to all he said. Are they not ,hen greater en
mles to the nauralized citizen than those who bold
'> advocate the native doctrneSl ... -
70 But we have more proof Throughout New Yorl
10 Pennsylvania and Delaware the fedealiss and native
D. have united for the coming election. They say the
cause is one and the same. They all go for the san
j. men and measures. And before October you will st
r. them n those states drop the name of whig and tai
IS The name of Native American.
10 When we look at all these facts and then rememb
that the lejesiss have ever opposed the naua|lz
