AN ASSOCIATION OF NATIVE AMERICANS.
l"E have reached an important crisis in our po-
htical history The two leading parties in onr
country, hitherto separated by broad lines either Of
principle or policy differ now scarcely in any thing
but in names.
National Band. formerly an essential point Of diff
terence between rival parties, has advocates
frotecta0e 1a,W for the sake of protection which
once divided parties and distracted our National Coun-
ellis has become obsolete as question Of party policy
simply because q "reoeaue taTf' affords incidental
protection TO American Manufactures. A modfca-
tion Of the details Of our present tariff system is ali
that is demanded by the most strenuous advocates Of
protection to American Industry.
The d.sfrbsos Of the procseds 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 as claimed by the other
party have both yielded TO compromise Of these con-
cting opinions, SO far at least to sink these ques-
tions as Issues between Wings and Democrats plan
formed Of compound Of "squatter sovereignty" 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 Aa,5ors and yiyers by congress
sional aid. on which political parties have hitherto
differed at different times has now become less aues-
ton Of principle than Of local and sectional contest;

A cuh capital, amply sufficient TO commence and
TO continue the enterprise, has been subscribed and
secured TO be advanced by number Of wealthy and
gentlemen; and we are insured daily

Our position at the seat OF the federal government
the centre Of political system, where all the rep
resentatives ofthe States and Of the people annually
assemble, and where prominent men Of all parties
periodically sojourn for many months Is considered
by U.S. and by our friends as the most favorable one
for the publication Of the ORGAN OF THE AMERICAN
PARTY; and II the most untring devotion TO the ad-
vocaoy of the doctrines and policy of this party shall

serve, and we trust we shall receive IL.
