We end in the New Orleans Tropic, q
letter from the Hon. BAILEy PErros, adj
dressed to the President Of the Native
American association Of Louisiana, with
drawing from that association. and declar-8
ing that a separate organization by that
party is both unwise and ineffective. The
letter does not fail to intimate, that the
only effective way for the views Of that
party to be carried out, is for the Natives
to unite with the whigs, in their party or
ganization.
The history Of the rise and fall, and Of
the ultimate object Of Native Americanism
has turned out to be what we predicted in
the beginning. The party was started BY
the wing party, under the disguise of no
party, at FIRST, the better to lead astray
such democrats as might easily be deceiv-
ed, with an intention on the Part Of the
whig leaders, to form and keep alive dis
tinct party for season, and when the
proper time came, to cry up the impolicy
Of further and separate organization Of
the party, and to give general invitation
to the new sect, to come over to the wings,
alledging as reason that such a step would
be the only sure way by which they could
accomplish their objects. By this maneu-
yer it was supposed they could allure
such Of the democrats as might belong to
that party at the time Of their gracious adj
vice. This is the history Of Nativism, this
the history Of anti masonism, this, in fact,
the history Of abolitionism, this the history
Of the anti-rentism Of New York, in all Of
which and many more, the wings have
been among the prime movers, and always
sought at the earliest moment to turn them
into account for the wing party.
They are now proposing and carrying out
a union Of the Native party with the wings,
upon the pledge on the part Of the wings,
that il they can succeed by the union, to
carry out the doctrine Of Nativism. We
ask, the particular attention Of that .,orthy
part Of our community in Iowa who are
made up Of emigrants, and the descendants
Of emigrants to this country to this ma
neuver. If the wings can come into pow
er, they will not hesitate, to deprive your
brother who may not yet have come over
to this country, of the possibility Of obtain
ing to the rights Of citizenship; they will
not hesitate to draw the lines between you
and your descendants on the ono part, and
those whom they style the native born on
the other. They think that because you
and your father were SO unfortunate as not
to have been born on the soil Of freedom,
that therefore you are unworthy Of Free
dom. And their doctrines when carried
out, would work prohibition Of inter-
marriage betwixt your children and the
children of the natives Of the soil. On the
other hand, it is the doctrine Of domocra-
cy. and Of liberty too, that this great earth
is free, to exercise the most humane and
liberal policy towards all who may wish
to come and live among US from foreign
countries, because our fathers were once
emigrants themselves; knowing, that if
our government and people greet you as
brothers and equals, and bid you welcome
to the sweets of liberty, your hearts will
burn with gratitude, and that your arms
will be nerved, your steel sharpened, and
if need be, your blood and treasure freely
Law ished in defence of the Union and its
laws. Let the God Of liberty spread lib
eral,sn., and teach all men to greet man as
his brother.
