AN ASSOCIATIONS OF NATIVE AMERICANS.
WE have reached an important crisis in our ps-
Wv itical history. The two Leading parties in our
country, hitherto separated by broad lines either of
prncpe or Of policy differ now scarcely in any thing
A National Baak, formerly an essential point of diff
ference between rival parties, has advocates
Pyvteotioe Tariff fpr,the sGke of protection, which
once divided parties and distracted our National Coun
cs has become obsolete, as question Of party policy,
simply because rere7ns tariff affords incidental
protection to American Manufactures. A modifca-
ton of the details of present tariff system is all
that is demanded by the most strenuous advocates Of
protection 70 American Industry.

among the several States formerly claimed by one
party and the application of those proceeds solely in
aid Of the national Treasury claimed by the other
hicng opinions SO far at least to sink these qes-
tons 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

and 1t will doubtless be adjusted by the NEXT Con-
gress, upon that basis of liberalty and Justice de-
manded by the spirit Of the ago and the true interests
Other questions, Of minor Importance, on which. at
different times the two prominent parties of the cou-
try disagreed have now by change circumstances
become obsolete What then, remain as issues Of
any theoretical practical Importance between Wings

hitherto rival parties shall maintain their respective
organizations they will do for the mere sake of the
sp0is of po,perf
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 country and which
issues must IN their discussion, progress and term
nation, annhiate these two parties which, for wears
past have battled, with alternate success, political
supremacy. 1.{a4 -
