Naive AmericnnisEn Unmasked.
"Unless we stop emigration, we can't preserve
The liberty of our country. Ifit continues, the
time Will come when we will have TO rise in arms
and massacre the foreigners, or make them our
StGpes, in order to preserve the free institutions
of our country, and transmit them unimpaired 10
our children
The above damning sentiment was promulga-
ted by Gen. Dearborn on late occasion of his
acting as chairman of Native American meet
ing Philadelphia. These sentiments are not
entertained merely by General Dearborn and
few deluded followers, but by nearly the whole
whig party, and the claims of their candidates at
the last Presidential election we're urged upon
the ground of their being natives, by many ac-
credited whig papers. Who does not remember
the charter election in New York city, in the
spring of last year, when the wings rallied round
the nominee OF the American Republican party,
and succeeded in electing him by large major
ity; or the more recent Gubernatorial contest in
Pennsylvania, when these same Native Ameri-
cans over whom Gen. d. presided, and whose
sentiments he so clearly sets forth, united with
the Wings TO defeat the Democratic nominee,
and succeeded in carrying that county by an in
crease gilmore than 1000 votes over the previous
year. The principal Arguments brought to bear
upon Gov. Skunk was that he had walked in a
procession of his German friends and relatives
on the occasion of their laying the corner stone
for new church, and that Dutchmen and Irish
men were going to vote for him.
These were the arguments to be found in all
the Wing and Native American papers, the latter
of which were everywhere advocating the claims
of whig candidates to Office, as the readiest way
of carrying out their principles, and so high had
they succeeded in raising public excitement
against foreigners, that OF one time in Philadel-
phia, the acknowledgment TO be an Irishman or
Dutchman was to be the subject of violence,
bloodshed and murder.
But this is no new feature in the creed Of the
Federal Wings. The Alien and Sedition Law
of old Jonn Adams, which filled the land with
rapipe and violence, was their darling Thatact of
the old FederaIjsts required Is years. residence for
a citzenship--modern Federalism requires 81,
and the being debarred from all offices of trust,
honor or emolument. But the Democrats, after
a contest that has never been surpassed for ran
cor and bitterness, succeeded in electing Tho
mas Jefferson to the Presidency, and under his
hat lal ooJ e.. a,
to this day his name is never mentioned by the
modern Federalists without being coupled with
the bitterest invectve But these sentiments
becoming unpopular with the people, the Fede-
raliss found it expedient to conceal them, but
they were not the less cherished, and though
hidden from the sight they can be traced through
all their subsequent acts, until some one more
Dolder than the rest, comes out, like Gen Dear
born, and avows them openly
Our fellow-citzens who were not fortunate
enough m be born on particular spot on this
planet will think it strange that our liberties can
lot be maintained unless by their murder, or the
them into slaves, particularly when
hey recolect that if it had not been for such TO-
eign Americans as Montgomery, Lafayette, De
Aalb, Koskiusco, and a host of others, we would
AVE had no "free Institutions to trassmt Gun
impaired 10 our children" They will see that
ii the acts of ancient and modern federalism
converge, true as the needle to the pole, to the
anne common end, the concentration of power
n the hands of the few.
The people of all classes will take note of
hese things, ponder and reflect on them, make
P their minds OH the subject, and in the full con-
dence oil just cause, we court the result.
