AN ASSOCIATION OF NATIVE AMERICANS.
WE have reached an important crisis in our pc

country hitherto separated by broad lines either Of
principle Or Of policy, differ now scarcely in any thing

and DemecratsY We know Of none and if these
hitherto rival parties shall msintan their respective

But new issues have arisen, having no referenc 10

upon the future welfare Of the ceuntry--and which
issues must in their discussion progress and termi-
nation annihilae these two parties which, for years
past have battled with alternate success for political
supremacy.
A new era is at hand-an era which will be char
acterzed in the future history Of these States as the
ERA OF PATRIorIsNi Throughout the length and
breadth Of this glorious Unon the masses of
the American people have spontaneously and simulta-
neously started the inquiry-"ARn NOT AxERIcAss

people for years past and yet until now, with few
exceptons, the American people have seemed 70 be
blind TO the progress Of 1oregnisa in the land. We
need not on the occasion Of presenting this circular
prospectus TO the country, assign the for this
sudden and general manifestation Of the purpose Of
the American people 10 take the reins Of govern
ment into their own hands; 1t is sufficient for the
object we have now in view to state the undeniable
and obvious fact that such purpose erists.
