AN ASSOCIATION OF NATIVE AMERICANS.
"E have reached an important crisis in our po-
~ lltica history. The two leading parties in our
country hitherto separated by broad lines, either Of
principle or Of policy differ now scarcely in any thing
National Bank formerly an essential point Of diff
ference between rival parties has n0to no advocates.
Projections Tariff for the safe Of protection, which
once divided parties and distracted National Coun
ellis, has become Obsolete question Of party policy,
simply becGuss "rsDsnus tariff affords incidental
protection TO American Manufactures. A modifca-
ton Of the details Of present tariff system Is all
that y demanded by the most strenuous advocates Of
protection TO American Industry.
The distribution Of the proceeds Of the public lands
among the several States, formerly claimed by
party and the application Of those proceeds solely in
aid OF the national Treasury, as claimed by the other
party have both yielded to compromise Of these
ictng opinions, 70 far at least to sink these ques
tons az 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, seems likely TO withdraw the public
lands from the arena Of future party contests
The Improvement of hsr6ors and rioers by congress
sona aid, on which political parties have hitherto
differed ut different times has now become less ques
tion of principle than Of local and sectional contest
and 1t will doubtless be adjusted by the next Con-
gress upon that basis Of 1iberality and justice de-
manded BY the spirit Of the age and the true interests
Of the country.
Other questions of minor Importance, on which, at
different times the two prominent partes of the coun-
try disagreed have now by change circumstances
become obsolete. What, then, remain as issues Of
any theoretical or practical importance between Wings
and Democratsp We know of none; and If these
hitherto rival parties shall maintain their respective
organizations they will do SO for the mere sake of the
spoils of posoer
But new issues have arisen having no reference to
<y.<~ ~
issues which are vastly important in their bearing
upon the future welfare Of the country-and which
issues must IN their discussion progress, and term
nauon annihate these Two parties, which, for years
past have battled with alternate success for political
