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

The disfbutioa Of the proceeds Of the public lands
among the several States formerly claimed by oJ@
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

which they lie seems likely to withdraw the public
lands rom the arena Of future party contests.
The improvement of haYbors and riDeyy by congres-
sionsl aid on which political parties have hitherto
differed at different times, has become less ques-
tion Of principle than Of local and sectional contest
and IT Will doubtless DO adjusted by the next Con-
gress, upon that basis Of hberalty and justice de-
manded by the spirit Of the age and the true interests
Of the country. S5i55 gsr,s 0 .e 4....- \
