AN ASSOCIATION OF NATIVE AMERICANS.
VXTE have reached an important crisis in our po-
w ltica history. The two leading parties In our
country hitherto separated by broad ines either Of
principle or Of policy differ now scarcely any thing
AasionaI Bank formerly an essential point Of diff.
ference between rival parties has moso no advocates
A Pyvtsctivs Tariff for the sake Of protection which
divided parties and distracted our National Coun-
cils has become obsolete question OF party policy
protection to American Manufactures. % a modifoa-
ton Of the details Of present tariff system ID all
that Is demanded by the most strenuous advocates Of
protection 70 American Industry.
The distsSbaon Of the proceeds of the public lands
among the several States formerly claimed by one
party, and the application Of those proceeds solely in
aid OF the national Treasury claimed by the oker
party, have both yielded to compromise Of these
hicting opinions far at least to sink these ques
tons ds Issues between Wings and Democrats A plan
formed Of compound Of "squatter sovereignty of
graduation" and Of surrender to the States in
which they lie, likely TO withdrew the public
lands from the arena Of future party contests.
The improvement of hos,Jors and vigys by congress
sional aid, on which political parties have hitherto
differed at different times, has now become less aques
ton Of principle than Of local and sectional contest
and 1t will doubtless be adjusted by the next Com
gress upon that basis Of liberaty and justice de-
manded by the spirit Of the age and the true interests
| of the country &GHI3
Other questions, Of minor Importance, on which, at
different times the two prominent parties Of the coun
try disagreed have now, by change ofcrcunsances,
become obsolete. What. then, remain as issues Of
any theoretical or practical Importance between Wings
and Democratsy We know Of none; and If these
hitherto rival parties shall maintain their respective
organizations, they will do so for the mere sake the
sp0sls of p0lCer! s
But new issues have arisen having no reference to
the party organizations of Wings and Democrats
issues which vastly important in their bearing

The evils incident TO the indiscriminate immigration
Of Foreigners into our country-the consequences Of
permitting such immigrants to enjoy the right Of
suffrage the degrading effect OF elevating for
eigners to posts Of honor and trust under our gov
ernment; all these have been seen and known to our
people for years past and yet Until n0ac, with few
exceptions, the American people have seemed to be
blind TO the progress Of fosegnasm in the land. We
need not the occasion of presenting this circular
prospectus to the country, assign the causes for this
sudden and general manifestation of the purpose Of
the American people to take the reins OF govern
ment into their own hands; it is sufficient for the
object we have now in view to state the undeniabe
and obvious fact that such purpose ersts.
We now come forward to present to our fellow

November daily, and on the goth weekly.
A cash capital amply sufficient to commence and
10 continue the enterprise has been subscribed and
secured 10 be advanced by q number Of wealthy and
influential gentlemen; and we are insured n daily
circulation snrpassing that of any paper now pub
,lished in Washington city. The number of our
weekly subscribers will depend upon the enthusiasm
of our friends in the several States but have such
assurances that we cannot doubt we shall commence
with many tiousands and that year will not trans
pire before our weekly list viii be sweed 70 more
than ono hundred thousand. - o .taf
Our position at the seat Of the federal government

resentaves Of the States and Of the people annually
assemble, and where prominent men OF all parties
periodically sojourR for many months IL considered
by as, and by our friends, the most favorable
for the publication Of the ORGAN or THE AMERICAN
PARTY and If the most untring devotion 70 the ad-
vocacy Of the doctrines and policy of this party shall
give us claim to its support we know we shall de-
serve, and we trust we shall receive II.
