AN ASSOCIATION OF NATIVE AMERICANS.


wv X have reached an important crisis in our po-
~ htical history. The two leading parties in our
country hitherto separated by broad lines, either Of
principle or OF policy, differ scarcely in any thing
National Bank formerly an essential point Of diff
ference between rival parties has ,00 no advocates
frotscttpe 1d,.H for the sake Of protection, which
once divided parties and distracted our National Coun-
ellis, has become obsolete question of party policy,
simply because "yevenue tar$f' affords incidental
protection to American Manufactures. A modifca-
ton q the details Of our present tariff system is all
that Is demanded by the most strenuous advocates Of
protection 70 American Industry.
The dtsfsdt0n 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 other
party, have both yielded TO compromise of these CEN
hicng opinions far ut least as to sink these ques-
tons az issues between Wings and Democrats A plan
formed Of compound Of "squatter sovereignty" Of
which they Lie, seems likely to withdraw the public
lands from the arena Of future party contests.
The Improvement Of hor5ors and rivers by congress
siona aid on which political parties have hitherto
tion Of principle than Of local and sectional contest
and it will doubtless be adjusted by the next Con-
gress upon that basis Of liberality 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 parties of the
try disagreed, have now by change circumstances
become obsolete. What, then, remain us issues Of
any theoretical or practical Importance between Wings
and Democratsp We know of none and il these
hitherto rival parties shall maintain their respective
they will do 80 for the sake Of the
spoils Of poaoeri
But new issues have arisen having no reference to
the party organizations Of Wings and Democrats
issues which are vastly important in their bearing
upon the future welfare of the country-and which
issues must IN their discussion progress, and termi
