question whether or not all other public questions
ought to be or could be merged in single one.
On that question, Mr. X. decided one way, other
Wings another. Whose judgment was right, no
one will doubt who considers either the event, or
the opinion of an enormous majority of the Wing
party, or that of all those leading men on whose
patriotism and prudence, in all public questions,
the country has so long relied. We say all this
with the better right, because we too are as much
attached as any body to the reform for which Ma
tive Americanism calls, and have only refused, like
Mr.. X, to make that the sole principle of our
politics
In his letter to his constituents of 2lst Novem-
Der last, to be found on the file Of the National In
telligencer, Mr.. KENNEDY spoke out upon the sub
ject Of Native Americanism in the following manly
terms:
81 say to the Wings, raise again your flag. Stand firm
in your present array Go apart into any other combna
ton, but stand your ground WHIGs. The election
has forced upon adoption addition to our old formula
of principles great and abuse calls for the aid
Of the Wings to THE REINFORCEMENT OF THE PU-
RITY OF THE BALLOT-BOX. II is fundamental in this
Government that the People of America shall speak truly
ia their elections that their voice shall be suppressed by
fraud violence and that neither shall it be outweghed by
voices un-American mean by that that shall vote
in elections who has not heart to feel with American
people, and mind accimaed to understand, at least
the difference between American and foreign interests To
compass this great end must have odcation Of the
La,us of Observation-Disclosures modification shall lenghen
the term probation greater in the introduction
citizenship and strengthen the securities against fraud
We say with all our heart hospitality to the stranger, full
f fi,l
enlargement his labor but privilege interfere in the
legislation of the nation until he has lived long
enough the country understand its interests resist the
caoery Of demagogue who would make him. through his
norance the instrument of the bases designs and until he
has sufficiently identified himself with people to feel that
their welfare important him than the welfare Of all
others Our laws at present do not give these securities
and may presume that there is not intelligent honest
hearted natuazed citizen in this Union who does feel and
acknowledge the necessity Of this reform In accomplishing
this great purpose it will be the resolve Of the Wing party to
stand by the Of Religious Toeraon spurnng the
base attempt which has been made and will not to be
made again. to connect the Wing with the odum o.
religious persecution.
"For these ends the Wires need oganizaton nc
new That which bear has been consecrated in
many battlefield of Freedom, and WILL trust long
rally the brave and pure spirits who stand up for Popua
hignt ana rec government IN pme 70 come US
assume another"
Such the ground here taken by Mr.. X. ha,
been tina! taken every where by THE VINO PARTY
1t is every where Native American in principles
Native American as Locofocosm is the opposite
What more would any reasonable Native American
have! Can both together carry their measure al
present? VIGOROUSLY not. For that purpose, they
must have maorities in both branches Of Congress
and they have joint majority in neither. The eff
fort was made and bill introduced at the last SEES
sion by the Wings, through Mr.. J. r. INeERsoLL
For such bill, what Wing will not vote! AND
who but Wings are ever to carry it! Is it by get
ting in an anti Native like Mr. GILES, (Mr. KEN
NEDY's opponent) and turning out Native ant
Wing like Mr.. KENNEDY, that the naturalization
laws are to be changed 1t is shame to think 0
such thing; and they who are willing to LEAF
their felow-citizens into such mistake are surely
very indiferent after their present turn shall b
served, how completely such conduct may break W
all sympathy with the Native American cause
