The NATIVE AMERICAN PARTY. For the
first time the Native American party OF the city
of Baltimore has thrown out It's banner to the
winds, and resolved to do lattlc under its ample
fo!ds-and how can we anticipate failure when
the principles advocated are those which should
be adopted by every American citizen, and by
which alone the institutions Of the country can
be maintained in their purity. To doubt sue
cess would be TO impcach the integrity and
the patriotism of the citizens of Baltimore
The ticket presented by the Native American
Convention should be particularly acceptable 10
tUc mechanics and aborng portion Of our cti-
Us, who are so seriously feeling the injurious
Influence upon their labor produced by the
great influx of foreigners, who, by working at
tn" mere cost OF subsistence, throw the natives
OF the soil and other citizens ont Of employ
,ncnt and deprive them and their families of,
shc means Of support. This is general COM
plant throughout the city, and it is grievance
which must increase year by year. unless some
remedy can DC applied. The genticIaea nam-
I'd on the Delegate ticket are nearly all me-
chancs; and now is the time for the nechan-
les of Baltimore to strike for Their rights. Let
tbrnI rally man!u!ly in support of the Native
American nominations Cor Congress and the
Legislature, and it will be seen, that Amefi-
cans no. only can, but will rule themselves
Where is the American who can take cXccp
ion to the gentleman nominated ipr Congress!
Captain Thompson has served his country ''in /
The tented field" and bears a reputation for in
tcgrlty and hbcrahty merchant and Il citi-
zen, against winch the tongue of malice itself
cannot utter syllable. If elected, lac will
strcnuously sustain in the House Of Reprcsen- /
tatlves the great principles Of the Native Anne
rjedus, and thuS promote the lasting interests
and prosperity Of the country. by clecting
him we obtain one more vote and powerful
influence in the house in favor Of suc, change
IN the naturalization laws as shall secure the
rights of the citizens agoln,; Infringement
overthrow the monstrous corruption which now
,s- SIS III our elections, and prevent the extern
SION OF foreign influence in our land. BY cou-
oeD'rating their votes upon the Congressional
and Legislative tickets offered by the Native
American Convention, tho citizens OF Baltimore
may confer lasting benefit upon themselves
and their children, bat cannot, by any POSSIBLE
ity, infiict injury upon either. The evils conf
pained Of are universally acknowledged to ex
st, and why should there be hesitation in APP
plyng the corrective? VIII either Of the old
parties correct abuses upon which they mainly
leyend for success? Ii cannot be expected
On the contrary at every election which has
taken place for years past, naturalization com
iuittecs have been appointed, whose main bust
ness it was to manufacture citizen voters out OF
foreigners, many Of whom had probably not
been in the country the time required by law
Seeing that this practice has prevailed 10 ru-
nous extent, and that all the feelings Of patti
otlsm have been absorbed in the one considera-
,ion of party success, it has become ndispensa-
bic that there should be a distinct organization
of citizens, pledged to pursue a more patriotic
course, and to wrest the control Of affairs from
,hosc who are thus disposed to render the cleo
tive franchise so dog cheap" as to be almost
utterly worthless We call then, most earn
estly upon all citizens, native and naturallzed,
who prize freedom at its true value and who
are unwilling that foreign governments shall
oyerwhelm us with their ielons and paupers-
who believe that some acquaintance with the
principles Of our Government and the nature Of
its policy is necessary to the intelligent and
pure exercise of the elective tranchise-to unite
in forwarding the great work taken in hand by
The Native American Convention of Baltimore.
