AN ASSOCIATION OF NATIVE AMERICANS
W. r have reached an important crisis in our po
w htcai history. The two leading parties in our
country hitherto separated by broad lines either Of
principle orof policy, differ scarcely in any thing
A National Bank formerly an essential point Of diff
ference between rival parties has noW no advocates
IrofecttUe IdyF for the sake Of protection which
once divided parties and distracted our National Coun
cls has become Obsolete as question Of party policy
simply because "receaae tarf" affords incidental
Prosecauon 70 American Manufactures: A modifca,
non OF the details Of our present tariff system is all
that Is demanded by the most strenuous advocates Of
protection TO American Industry.
The d.sfrabtoa Of the proceeds Of the public lands
among the several States as formerly claimed by one
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 CEN
ictng opinions so far at least TO sink these ques
tons as issuss between Wings and Democrats A plan
formed OF compound Of "squatter sovereignty,n 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 harbors and rioers BY congress
sonal 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
gress upon that basis Of berality and justice do
manded by the spirit of tho age and the true interests
OF the country.
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 practical Importance between Wings
and a! DemecratsY We know Of none; and if these
hitherto rival parties shall maintain their respective
organizations they will do 80 for the mere sake Of the
spOils of po,cerl
But new issues have arisen, having no referenc TO
the party organizations Of Wings and Democrats
issues which are vastly important in their bearing
upon the future welfare of the ceuntry--and which
issues must in their discussion, progress and term
nation, annhilate these two parties which for years
past have batted, with alternate success for political
supremacy
