AN ASSOCIATION OF NATIVE AMERICANS
NXJ II have reached important crisis In our pe
w litical 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
A National BanI, formerly an essential point Of diff
ference between rival parties has 1oto no advocates
P1otcsi0s Tariff for the sake Of protecton, which
once divided parties and distracted our National Coun
oils, has become obsolete, question of party policy
simply bscGuse "ssDenus tariff" affords incidental
protection TO American Manufacturer A modiHca-
ton OF the details of our present tariff System s all
that is demanded by the most strenuous advocates Of
protection 70 American Industry.
The dishidsion Of the proceeds Of the public lands
among the several States as formerly claimed by one
party, and the appoato Of those proceeds solely in
aid OF the national Treasury claimed by the othsr
party have both yielded to compromise Of these CEN
hicting opinions far at least to sk these ques
formed Of compound Of 'ssquatter sovsrcignty, Of
graduation" and Of surrender to the States in
which they lie, seems likely to withdraw the public
ands from the arena Of future party contests
The Improvement Of ha,boys and sieers by congress
sional aid on which political parties have hitherto
differed at different times has now become less ques-
ton Of principle than Of local and sectional contest
grcss, upon that basis Of fiberaty and justice de-
manded by the spirit Of the age and the true interests
Other questions Of minor Importance. on which, at
Try disagreed, have now by change circumstances,
| become obsolete. What then, remain as issues OF
any theoretical or practicalimporancc between Wings
and Demecrataa We know of none; and if these
hitherto rival parties shall maintain their respective
they will do 50 for the mere sake Of the
/ spoiIs of P0,oer %
But new issues have arisen, having no reference to
1 the party organizations Of Wings and Democratic :
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
nation anihilate these two parties which, for years
past have battled with alternate success political
