ADDRESS
THE
NATIVE AMERICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION,
rQ THE CITIZENS OLE TIE IfNITEn sTA ATES

FELLOW CITIZENS When, in the history
of nations, great and increasing evils arise,
and invade the rights, or threaten to destroy
the just and natural privileges of a people, it
becomes equally the duty and the interest of
that people to present to the world such rep
resentation Of their grievances as shall tend
to justify their efforts to remove those evils,
and establish permanent means to prevent
their recurrence. 1t has been the fate of all
nations, and especially of Republics, to suffer
in various ways from the encroacbments and
assumptions Of a foreign people; and il is an
unerring truth of history, that most Of them
have lost their liberty and power by such
means The peculiar institutions of the Uni
ted States have exposed them, more than any
other, to the evils and wrongs of foreign en-
croachments; and experience has already
shown that they, like most other people of
historical notice. are now realizing like conse-
qnences from like causes. Influenced by
these considerations, large portion OF the
native citizens of these United States have
felt it to be their most solemn and imperative
duty, to associate and pledge themselves one
to another, for the purpose of awakening their
countrymen to sense OF evils already eXpe-
rienced from foreign intrusion and usurpatlon,
and the imminent danger to which all they
love and venerate, as native Americans, is
momentarily exposed from foreign influence i;
and also to use all honorable means to dimln-
sh those evils, and oppose barriers to their
future progress. They have therefore called
together, in Convention, in the city OF Phlla-
dephia, the representatives OF those native
Americans who, clearly seeing and feeling the
evils and dangers complained OF, have the
moral courage to oppose and redress them
and now, in conformity with usage and duty
these representatives announce to their asso-
ciates and fellow citizens the great objects
contemplated by the Native American party
their reasons for action, and the principles by
which they propose hereafter to be governed.
