MEssRs. EDIToRs 1t is with pleasure that
YOUR paper has lately revived the hopes of the
Native Americans residing in these delightful
leIions, among their romantic hills, the mnia-
lure counterparts of the sod World, in
Switzerland Greece, Scotland Poland, and
other paces-where Liberty has always spread
IT'S broadest wing in blessing the world. From
those eminenCes we see the approaching foreign
;oe-not as at first, in our revolution, III bloody
and open wartare-5ut secretly, silently, and
,nalciously, sending the American, like Cain,
scithout a crime, to wander, unptied and alone
standing in the midst of plenty which his fore
fathers gained by their patriotisHI-tor, like
PhaToah's lice, those enemies are getting into
;he very sanctuary of our homes, tearing the
rarlands fiom our domestic affairs, and sending
Us to the workhouse, which they, In many in
stances, so fortunately escape by leaving Eu- |
rope. The evil is gradually creeping into our
factories here.

race which one Of them Mr.. MARTINI might
have gained by a little more perseverance, for
he has many influential friends in high stations
here and elsewhere.
The edifice under erection here for the Ora !
mite Manufacturing Company, is progressing
rapidly. The foundation was somewhat in ur- |
ed by the late food but it has been cffectually |
repaired, while many of the woIkmen, like the |
builders ofancient Jerusalem, weep and rejoice
that is, weep that so many foreigners are TAX
ing bread rom their children's mouths, and re-
ioice that even the crumbs falling from the Ia
BILE are their portIon-feeling convinced, as all
Native Americans do-that if we do not strug-
gle for our rights the dogs will snatch away the
little we have left. A factory is also being
erected at Eysville, four miles above, the wood
work being done by William Harrison, assisted
by Alexander lowering, of this place.
