SENATOR WILSON'S NATIVE AMERIcAN1sN

Senator Wilson, if the following synopsis Of
speech made by him in Brattleboro', Vermont
be correct, is no longer "Natice american, ~
We copy from the correspondence of the New
York Tribune:
MIR. Wilson promised by stating that in h.,
opinion the time had arrived when all the NOM.
nations of the party should be made and voted
openly. The time for secrecy was past. The
object of the American party was to infnsa
vitality into the effete political organizations
1t was not intended to restrain immigratior
nor to draw down this Republic from the lofy
position which it maintains as the ASYLUM (o-
all the oppressed of Europe. Our shores should
be ever free to him who, by the labor of indps
try, seeks an improved fortune, whatever NAV
be his nationality or religious belief. But the
American party intends to provide against and
even to resent the conduct Of European Govern.
ments in sending here ship.loads of paupers and
telons; 1t is intended to prevent the organic.
ton OF adopted citizens in distinct bodies. &C.
cordlng to their various nationalities, and thu,
acting on the political movements of thisc conn
try. Thus, said the orator. America shall M.
in the future witness the humiliatug nece,.,,
of one of her greatest glories stumpng Il.
country and becoming enraptured with tb.
sweetness of the German accent and The
richness of the broad Irish idiom.' Ii NAV
be, to obtain this end, the laws of naturalLatioo
should be made more stringent or at leas, that
the existing laws should be more conscientiously
carried into effect. He deplored that the Leg.
islature of his own State should have PASSED
the amendment to the Constitution excluding
naturalized citizens from office in the Com.
monwealth."
Well-if the Know Nothings of Massachu.
sets have come to the conclusion that there
ought to be no secrecy, no inequality Of politi.
cal rights on account of birth or religious con.
nections, no restraints upon foreign inmigra-
ton, but the Encouragement of distinct nation
alities among us, the prevention of the import
alton by European Governments of their felons
and paupers, and a faithful enforcement of the
existing naturalization laws, let them come out
and say SO. They will then relieve themselves
of the stigma of Know Nothingism and Native
Americanism. Until they do so, we must ac.
cept General Wilson's statement of their aims,
as defining what he desires, but does not exist.

THE NATIONAL ERA: WASHINGTON D. c. JUNE 7, 1855.

One might suppose that practical men, honestly
intent upon redeeming the Federal Government
from Pro-Slavery counsels, as the present great
duty would find way to do it. Can they ac-
complish the object, by fighting in separate
Parties, warning against one anotherf Can
they do it by contributing to the success of
Parties pledged against this object? What
then is their first duty7 To withdraw from
such Parties. What their second duty? To
unite heartily in an organization pledged to
the accomplishment of the object. Does not
common sense teach this? Let the Democrat
come out from his Party; let the Know Moth
ing come out from his; let the patient waiter on
Providence cease to look for signs and won
ders; let them come together, with single
eye, and steadfast purpose, and say, our votes
shall take the Federal Government from the
hands of the Slave Interest, Slavery shall not
exist in Federal Territory, Kansas shall be
free, the Federal Government shall be placed
on the side of Human Liberty-then, let then,
act.
Now, the Anti-Slavery Democrats are carried
along with their Party; very well, we, and thou
sands upon thousands of Anti-Slavery men, can
not act with you've leave you to be led and
misled by your Pro-Slavery guides. The Anti
Slavery Know Nothings beg to be let alone;
very well, we, and thousands upon thousands of
Anti-Slayery men, cannot act with you've
leave you to be throttled by your National"
brethren.
We take our stand upon this position-in-
dependent, direct, open action for Freedom,
against Stauery, subordinating, and, if 'seces-
sary, postponing to this solemn issue, all other
Questions If the American People who are
Anti-Slavery can be rallied on this policy, the
country will be saved in 1856 from slavehold-
ing rule; if they cannot be, then it is doomed
to the curse of another Pro-Slavery Admins
tration.

MOVING AT LAST,

We could not believe that the real opponents
of Slavery would prove defaulters in the cleo.
ton of l856-that they would consent to be
swallowed up in Know Nothingism-that they
had made up their minds to drift with the cur
rent Of events. A large portion of the Anti
Slavery press NAV be dumb, but the People
will speak out In Ohio, on the 18th of july.
we hope they will break, "as a thread of tow
is broken when it toucheth the fire." the
green withes" with which tricksters have at
tempted to bind them. Indiana, as would
seem from the following call, is about rising:
To the init !Sldrery Men Of Indiana:
The undersigned respectfully invite Won to
meet with them in Convention ut Indianapolis,
on Wednesday, the 9th day of June at ten
o'clock A. NJ, for the purpose of taking into
consideration the present state of our cause.
The crisis, in our opinion, imperatively demands
it. A remarkable political revolution has swept
over the Northern States within the past year.
great work, in the opinion of many, has been
done for the slave. Old party lines have been
broken, whilst new element in our politics,
springing into life at time when all true men
should have been united against the Slave
Power, has succeeded to q considerable extent
in compicating the Slavery issue, and subordi-
mating it to minor questions. Let US meet to-
gether and provide for the future by doing the
duty of the present, guided by the light OF the
past. Let us determine how much was surface
and how much was depth, IN the late movement
of the people in this State, how much was done
for our cause by honest and hard fighting and
how much was done against it by mere dipo-
macy, in temporarily combining opposite and
irreconcilable elements in deceptive triumph.
The question of Slavery must swallow up the
others, and destroy any party that shall sink or
ignore it. Let US then prepare for the great
battle of 1856 by an early endeavor to crystal
lie the present distracted elements around the
true central point. Let us have it understood
that an Anti-Savery man is, of necessity, the Toe
of caste, bigotry, and prescription, and in favor
of the brotherhood of all men, without regard 10
race, color, religion, or birthplace. Let us not
be disturbed as to the numbers who may Join US,
but solicitous only for the honor of our cause as
the sure means of its triumph, firmly trusting
that through our fidelity the right result will
come. Let us be steadfast in our work, endeav-
oring to impart something of permanence to our
organization, and thus avoiding that instability
that would form a new party, with a new name,
for every campaign, and thus fritter away our
strength in the 6ckleness of our schemes, instead
of outstanding it for effective service. Once
more, in the faith and courage that become the
genuine disciples of the Truth, let us stand to-
gether for the Right.

PRESBYTERIAN GENERAL ASSEMBLY, N. s.

The st. Louis papers bring us the proceed
ings of this body on the Gath May. The SUBJ
ject of Slavery was under discussion.
The committee on bills and overtures made
a report to the following effect:
90 l. That the General Assembly address
Pastoral Letter to all the churches under their
care, reafhrming the action of past Assemblies
in regard to the sinfulness of the system of
Slavery, and expressing their deep regret at the
intemperateness of word and action which has
too often characterized the spirit of those who
have conscientiously aimed at its overthrow,
and that they urge upon the churches earnest
efforts by all christian and constitutional modes
to remove the evil from our midst.
"'2. That a committee be appointed to report
to the next Assembly on the constitutional
power of the Assembly over the subject of
Slavery in our churches, and that we recon-
mend this evil be removed from our church as
soon as it can be done in a christian and con-
stitutional manner
"This report gave rise to warm debate.
Rev. Mr.. Glenn opposed the first proposition.
Rev. Mr.. Crittenden advocated the report, and
pronounced Slavery to be an evil of great mag.
nitude. Rev. Mr.. Eva, of Washington city, Of
fered the following substitute:
"Whereas the General Assembly has al.
ready repeatedly borne its testimony in regard
to the system and practice of slaveholding. as
it exists in this country; and whereas the con-
sideration of the subject in this body is undesi-
rable, inexpedient and njudicious-therefore
6" Resotred, That the proper course for this
Assembly to pursue is to take no action what
ever on the subject
Mr.. Eva advocated his substitute, but it was
rejected amidst much confusion.
Rev. Gideon White, of Tennessee, opposed
the report, and commended that this continual
reiteration of Anti Slavery resolutions was use
less, childish, and significant of dotage. All
ecclesiastical action on the subject was wrong
it was nothing but quackery. The subject was
not concluded at the hour of adjournment
"On the 18th, the Church Extension COM
mittee was appointed, and trustees for the
church erection fund and the Presbyterian
house of publication elected.
"The report on the subject of Slavery was
then again taken up, and, after considerable
discussion, it was verbally amended, and adopt
ed by large majority. The Moderator there
upon appointed on the Pastoral Letter respect
ing Slavery, Rev. Drs. j. p. Wilson, Billiard,

ture hopes. have never witnessed greater
disappointment in an election. The Know
Nothings had set down the Old Dominion as
safe for them; and that, by uniting with the Re-
Pubhcans of Ohio, they would so far encourage
the Order in New York as to defeat the Seward
Wigs, and those united with them, and thus
start Oh on the Presidential election, with fair
prospect for Sam Houston, or Garrett Davis, or
kenneth Rayner. But / think their hopes
must have somewhat abated since their rout in
Virginia. Indeed, every indication now leads
me to believe that the new organization is on
the decline. Yours &c.

of New Hampshire, who stated that it involved
the only material point of difference betwee,
the church in New Hampshire and the General
Assembly, and he trusted that it would be fairv
and openly discussed; in reply to which, the
Moderator, in general terms, "alluded to the
position of the General Assembly upon this sub.
ject, stating it to be the same as expressed n,

the bondman, and hoping always that the time
would arrive when all the evils and impsrlec.

Our friends in Ohio are beginning to rec.

documents among the People during the
campaign just opening in that State. An
active editorial friend in Geauga county, or
dering fifty copies of Facts for the People,
says:
reason few of us in this village have raised
the means of procuring fifty copies of Facts
for the People, for gratuitous distribution.
We know of no more effective agent for the
dissemination Of Anti-Slavery Truth than this
publication"

" LETTERS TO THE PEOPLE ON HEALTH AND
HAPPINESS"

We have had the pleasure of reading some
of the proof sheets of new work, entitled as
above, soon to be issued by the Harpers, New
York. 1t is from the pen of Miss CATHERINE
BEEcHER, who has devoted herself for many
years to careful consideration of the subject
OF these Letters; and who has embraced the
results of her inquiries in form adapted to the
comprehension of the masses Of the People.
She commences by introducing the reader to
his own animal system, putting him in posses
sion of the keys which unlock its mysteries.
This brief anatomical and physiological sketch,
for clearness, conciseness, and ineigibleness,
surpasses anything of the kind that we have
seen from professional writer's.
The rest of her work embraces the entire ava.
tenn of hygiene; and the revelations made Of
the vicious physical training, or absence of all
regard for the laws of health, in our Academies
and Colleges, especially in institutions of learn
ing for girls, and in the every day life of Amer.
lean women, together with the fearless animad.
versions upon medical practice in relation to
females, must create a profound sensation
among the People, and tend to produce most
beneficial results.
With unshrinking courage, Miss Beecher
combines rare discretion, strict conscientious.
ness, and kind and genial spirit; and she
clothes her thoughts in simple, clear, vigorous,
Anglo-Saxon style. We hope the work may be
given to the Public without delay.
The first lot of new land warrants was issued
on the LIST instant. They are for l6O and 100
acres, respectively, the warrants for 80 acres
not yet being ready. They are printed from an
elegant plate, engraved by Rawdon, Wright, &
Hatch, Of New York; the designs being by Mr.
Bruf, an artist Of Washington, d. C. The war
rants for leo acres are embellished with Dor.
traits of President Pierce and Hon. j. C. Dob

Senator from Pennsylvania, the author of the
