NATIVE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION.
The receipt of a pamphlet, " stitched in blue,"
purporting to be an “Address from the Natlvo
American Association of Louisiana, to the cititcns
of the United States," has caused u* to reflect on
tho subject of the Naturalization Laws.
The democracy of tho United Stutes, nearly to a
man, hail tho approach of natives, of other »limes
to our shores, and adopt them os brothers of their
own.
The Aristocracy, although loving every gewgaw,
or vain trapping, for lordly equipages, a fleet to
scorn and ccntetnn tho hardy tiller of tho soil, who
Is driven by oppression to this happy land, or who,
from choice, selects it ns his future homo—tho
dwelling—tho grave, of himself and his posterity. ,
Sinco tho days of tho older Adams, alien and sedi
tion laws have been a favorite themo with tho olignr-
chists of America. It has been tho rock on which
their fondest hopes havo boon split, over and over
again—and their mad and illiberal dosiros scattered
by tho wind of freedom on tho sen of anarchy and
discontent. It is futed to bo so again!
In tho work boforo us tho most preposterous, and
Anti-American doctrines uro promulgated—the most
unblushing assertions made, by men, who them*
solves h ivc not a whit more interest in the Const i-
tion, than those thoy would exclude.
Native Americans! Why, Black Hawk or
Tecumskr—Oseola, or Alhoator have, or had,
much better claims to this exclusive natno than Mr.
Dalik Peyton, or Mr. WioatKTON, member*, or
Colonel Christy, tho President of this new Asso
ciation, which presumes to amend the Constitution,
and drive all foreigners from the land!
Native Americans!! Soventy years have not
posted away sinco wo became a nation, and could
uso the proud name of American chitons—and tho
men that accomplished tho liberty of our country,
and emancipated it from foreign thraldom, nover
clogged thnt enviable distinction by tho epithet tia-
the—no, thoy left that for the " wise men” of Now
Orleans, who arrogato to themselves the right of
revising tho Naturalisation Laws.
Native Americans!!! Who was Washington,
^ tho savior of his country—tho instrument of Divinn
Providence fur a mighty purpose t Who, wo ask
again, was this great man—who commanded tho
rospoct and admiration of his enemies, and who
was, indeed, “ the first among men t" Georok
Wash ikotoN, was tho great grandson of an English
country gentleman. Ho first drew breath on tho
banks of the Potomnc, and in his unrly days ho was
called a Virginian. It is true his ancestors lived in
Virginia, for three generations;.hut will any mnn
take it upon himself to say, that Washington
would not havo been us brave, as wise, ns good, hnd
lio been born in the country of his ancestors, and
emigrated hither, as ho was through all his life 1
Certainly not. Did ke ever make any distinction
between tho braves thnt surrounded hint, and whn
flocked to his standard from tranxnilnntic climes I
Nover! Hu knew the tamper of their Idados, and
that tho foreign arm was us ready to strike for tho
freedom of America, as thoso of her own sons.
Native Americans!!! 1 Who wore tho ollicors
to whom the immortal Washington,confided somo
of the most hazardous enterprises during the Revo
lutionary war 1 To Steobkn—to Stiuuso—to
Lakaybttx. Yet thorn brave men, whoso blood
was shed in accomplishing tho freedom of this
country—in giving birth to thnt lilmrty which this
pseudo Amur icon Association would dosecrato—
those bravo mon, according to native American dog.
mas, bad no right to unshoath their swords—to at
tempt to free America,. until thoy wore twenty-one
years in Ike country ! Oh, absurdity! Oh, non
sense ! Thy numo is tho Native American Asso
ciation—and thy homo is Now Orleans!
f Notice Americans!!! ! ! In tho hour of trial,
was there n man in tho camp of Washington more
ready to do his duty, than ho, who loving freedom
with his wliolo heart, evun braved tho dangers of a
voyage across tho broad Atlantic, to intermingle in
the strife ? No.—When tho fata of this great na
tion was decided by tho over memorable Declare-
ration of Independence, tho nnmo of Mathew
Thornton, a foreigner, shono as conspicuous os
that of any oilier of the Conscript Fathers.
When all might havo becu lost by treachery—who
was it sold his country—who wns tho traitor/
Benedict Arnold, a native Ainorican citisen—
one a ho would bo all perfect in the accident of his
birth, for all tho purposes of the Native American
Association of Louisiana.
We have said, however, nearly enough. It is
evident, from the production before us, that it is a
work which will destroy itself. It is a tissuo of
abuse—a catalogue of calumny, and a string of
groundless assertions. Tho “ hodenrriers of tho
Emerald Isle," is tho title by which Irish adopted
citizens are designated. “ Ignorant herd," is ano
ther of its choice phrases. “ Impostors," and
“ Impudent pretenders," “ spurious citizens," aru
nmongst its mildest tarms of reprouch
Our readers must remember an ahortivo effort
that was made in New York anil Brooklyn, some
two or three years since, to produco a sensation in
favor of tho " Native American Party." It failed
most signally. Tho highminded citizens of these
places frowned down tho project. Such injustice
would not bo tolerated. The party were bold,
Thoy went for depriving even thoso who had al
ready secured tho right of citizens, by terms of tho
lafr,of tho. privilege of voting until they hnd been
SI years resident of that Stale. This outrage on
vested rights was too glaring; an! although Mr.
Mayor Clark, and his satellites, did their utmost,
the party frittered uwny, and u now among " llio
things that wore."
This New Orleans Association is an effort to re-
wive that defunct body in another field, where it is
' hoped the principles that ooiminated it will take a
firmer root. The jealousy of the Creoles is appeal
ed to, arid it is thought that their distrust to tho
.\nglo-SoxM, oiAl Milesian races, will water tlw
tree of Native Americanism most effectually. Tho
Creoles.vas a people, havo no great lovo for what
they term tho “ Yankeesand thus the worst pos
sible passions are to be made to bear in favor of the
plans of the Native Americans—par excellence.
That the wbule affair is a " Whig" trick, fo hs
pl^ia as tho noonday sun, which warms the earth.
Air. Peyton (of whom wo havo before spoken) is
iu Magnus Appollo. The " Whigs" know that in
# * Union tlwra is strength," and henco they would
divide and conquer those whom they dura not at.
tack, while in solid phalanx. Yes—the " Whigs"
«we a deadly hate to tho adopted citizens of this
Republic as a body. Most generally the man who
came to this country from abroad, bsvs experien
ced the working* of despotism—(be; have known
whet it is to be deprived of the birthright of man—
therefore, they are able to ere ate glance, on which
elds of the contending parties they should /Inge
themselves, and they take their stand with the lie-
mucrotic Party of the country. Did they suffer
themselves lobe cajoled by tbs "Whigs," and per-
mlt tb« party to im*uni to power oq their shoulders,
we would boor nothing of "repealing the Natural,
itetiee Lews," as beg as they remained willing
tools—buf •! foeass tb<-y sew fit to exercise their
rights as freemen, then thoy would bo menaced
with Alim and Sedition Laws. This is true Whig-
gory—nnd their motto " Divide 11 Impel a" is a
most appropriate one.
Butthcy will not succcod. Th* Mississippi rolls
through pntliluss forests, whore the woodman's nxo
was nuver heard—the Ohio watcrshmindless plains
—iho rail prairies of the mighty West urn yet on-
tilled—nnd their cmmtlrss acres could give happy
homes to all the nmioits iu Europe, Why, then
should we bo selfish f Nature has given us doinnin
enough to lie tho greatest people on tho earth—all
wo require is population, and that wo tojoica to
lenrn is increasing in an almost incrediliV ratio.
Who would stay tho ball of our country’s glory t
No true American.
Before we lay down our pen—regretting thnt in
the 19ih ceuiury wo have to contbutsucli prejudice
—such littleness nf mind—we may remark that the
" Address of the Louisiana Native American As
sociation," declares that "hordes of foreign me
chanics uud artisans" have “ tn m-q.ulitfd the
wholo mcch snical business of tho U. du os"—that
" hosts of foreign merchants have obtained the con
trol of our bunking nnd commercial business"—■
that every" dupartmo.it of I.nw, Science, and even
Divinity is being rapidly overran by foreigners"—
that a “ largo majority nf the offices of tut t, pro
fit, and honor, are occupied by foreigners"—that
the " Professor* in our C-illi*go**and Universities
uro foreigners"—and that •* tho Press Ins boon al
most absolutely monopoliz'd by foreigners." Tho
"Address" says a great deal more which wo have
not room to notice—but wo may ask if its asser
tions are true, should not the Amurican pouple re
jolco that the benign influences oftheir hallowed In
stitutions are able to attract such an overwhelming
array of foreign talent to their shores ? For surely
men who can fill tho station* which the " Address"
nssignsthnm, could shine in any sphere—and be
come eminent under any government. Why, if it is
so, our country will soon do more for literature
than did Italy of old. Our mcichant princes will
rival thu Medicii—and Columbia will bo tho sent
of Religion, of Science, of Letters, and iha Arts;
and yet these few Native Americans would pnss
laws to keep men of talent from emigrating hither.
Short-sighted policy—silly statusmnn-hip !
Whoever heard thnt nny of tho nations to which
a Paul—an Auoustixk—or a Peter, prearhed
thu Gospel of Divine Lifo, made any objection to
these Apostles of their Great Moster, because they
were not natives of the benighted lends in which
they tarried f Yet wo have shown th it tho Native
American Association of Louisiana, objects to Di
vines, b"Ciiu*o they were not born in Amorica!
What a set of mon to impugn the wisdom of our
ancestors!
We will pursue this life subject again!
THE WHIGS OF CONNECTICUT—THEIR
SOUTHERN FRIENDS, AND CO-LA
BOURERS.
In these times, when political summersets, nnd
federal joggling, nro tho order of the day, wo should
be surprised ut nothing. It is, though, revolting to
our Southern feelings, to sco our greatest f>os, tho
Abolitionists—or their friends,—tho "Whigs," re
ceiving tho indirect countenance—tho protection,
and tho support uf a portion of tho press of tho
South. Why is it sot Has tho demon of party
such complete possession of our opponent*, tliat
every avonuo to thoir homes—thoir understanding
—their common sense, even, is closed, and no room
is led to ho occupied hy country or patriotism—by
domestic lies or public duty? And is it so /
Wo somotimo sinco stated that the resolutions re
ported by the Democratic Committee of ike Con
necticut Legislature, wore rejected by a STRICT
LY PARTY VOTE. Yes—the Senate of Con
necticut rejected tho resolutions by a vote of THIR
TEEN FEDERAL SENATORS to EIGHT DE
MOCRATIC SENATORS—being the whole of tho
Senate. - Yet, after this historical fact, for the proof
of which, .wo refer to tho legislative proceedings of
Connecticut, will it ho believed that any portion of
the press nf Georgia would defend these " Wldgs"
—would give them tho pmiso which is nlono duo to
tho Democrats of that State f But they havo.
Thu Mucon Messenger, a short tiinu after, hnd tho
following which appeared in olker " Whig" papers
in this Stnto about tho same timo:—-
Tho Legislature of Connecticut have mude a
very brief und sensible decision on tho Abolition pe
titions with which it has been troubled by mischief
making, busy bodies, who are nlwnys more atten
tive to thoir neighbors’ concerns limn theit own.
They stand up to their own Constitution, und re
spect tliut uf.tho countty us become* honest and
patriotic freemen; nnd if all othprs would do the
same, we riiouM soon see an end in the jealousies
nnd dissensions which now disunite different sec
tions of our country.
" We would merely remark that these resolutions
were ndupted by u Wit to Legislature—what sonfO
of our neighbors denouncing an " Abolition—Fed
eral WliifrLegislature." Let them publish this,
and call It Abolition if they choose—thoir renders
can judge of it for themselves. Are not tho senti
ments heroin contained quite a* Democratic as
thoso of Dr. Duucan 1
Ye*—worthy Sirs, they are " democratic"—-and
the work of Democrats alone—not a " Whig" hnd
finger in the pie." Wo did not expect to re
ceive praise in this quarter—yet it is so. Tho Mes
senger, and its compeers, did not know, perhaps,'
that it woja committee of Democrats, who did the
good work. If they did, would they pruiso so
largely /
Tho history of this report is worth recording. We
have given it in a brief compass before; but the
following, from tiic Augusta Constitutionalist, wo
prefer to our own; because, while we rorroboruto
each other, the weight of our evidence united, will
no doubt bo of more avail, than if they were taken
singly. I fear tho Constitutionalist :—
" Report of the Joint Committee of the Connec
ticut Legislature, on the subject of slavery, Jf-e.—
Ourruudur* will doubtless recollect, that the pcii-
tion* on the subject of slavery. Sir,, made to the
Connecticut Lcgisfiilurc during its late session, were
referred to u committee composed entirely of De
mocrats. This was done by the whig* in the hope
that tho course which tin* committee might pursue
would injure tho piny to which it belong-; if a re
port should bo mud. 1 adverse lo the prayers of the
petitioners, then would the whole of the abolition
ists be arrayed againu (he Democracy; while on fh -
oilier hand, if the report should lie favorable to
thoso prayers, it would be referred to as a proof
that a large portion of ihe n-*t’iio>ti De noerucy are
desirous of conciliating the aboliii.ini-t-, which
would excite asainst them all tluf lovers of Uie
Union, and especially the ciiiz-ns of the South.
Such, beyond question, ware ilx, motives by which
the whig* were aciustud in ill* appointment of this
committee,tod they were worthy a pirty which
has ever mistaken cunning for wisdom. The
port of the eommiilee has been made, ami is not
less remarkable for tnceminent ability with which
iliswri.tcn, than fur the sound Democratic doc<
trine* which it contains. In *11 respects, it D ad
verse to the views of the abolitionists, and adds
another proof pi the many that havo been before
given of liter .urn determination of the Democracy
of New England to countenance no interference with
the domestic imiitutions of tits* Smith, such as is
wished for l*y the abolitionuts. We are rejoiced
that such ha* been the 'cult, and have lo thank the
Connecticut w bigs for giving our friends such an
excellent opportunity for manifesting their prinei-
pies, lhou|li they wnra far front atiifripallng such
• decisive report a* hs* been made by the commit
te*. They judge their opponouu by tbenuelve*.
•m expected something U e jeiuiiiael nature, but,
a* usual in such cases, they have been foiled by the
honesty of those whom they hoped to overthrow."
From the above, it will bo scon that the " Wl^x*
dodged the question of Abolition—they knew the 1
the Abolitionist* would uso it to their advantage, or
disadvantage, at the coming election—therefore,
thoy threw the *• responsibility" on the Democrat*.
Nobly did the latter do their duty a* ritfo<*n«ofthfo
groat Republic. The report gave the Abolition
ists no hope, nnd, consequently, they threw their
weight in the *cn!o of the " Whlgi
We do not now intend to say much on this sub
ject, as it i* understood throughout tho country,
anil it was not until wo saw the following very gra
phic paragraph, in iho Macon Mcsssengtr rf tho -4th
Inst., tbatVro concluded to add a word to what wo
hail already raid. The Messenger is one of the
suppoitors of iho Connecticut "Wldgs"—and n
paper too that rejoiced nt tho election nf tin* Arch*
Abolitionist Slade, of Vermont—a trow " \Vhtg r
of iho most approved model. The Messenger
snys,
" We notice nn article In tho Savannah Georgian
of tho 96th till , in which the assertion is made,that
when tin* question was taken on certain residudo-
in opposition to Ah-diiion Petitions that li id been
brought boforo tlm Connecticut Legist' lure, that ev
ery Whig voted against them, nnd every Dick John
son Democrat, iu their favor. We will not ur-ler-
lake in impistc.li ih-» veracity of the Editor of tho
Georgian, but will remind him of one fact which ho
nt-iy reconcile with *ti* assertions if lincun. In the
last Legislature there wns n handsome whig major
ity—Haw then were these resolutions carried, if
they all voted against them t W ill he show us how
this was done T
" Another article in tho same paper snys—that
no whig paper iu Connecticut advocates the cause
r.f the South—nnd nil sustain tho cause of the Abo
litionist*. &c. We have no other reply to mnke to
this, ilmn that it Ufulsc, utteily false—nnd wo nro
prepared to prove it so, by testimony thnt cannot
bo disputed, whenever it becomes noccssary."
Now, the unswer wo givo the above unlmndsomn
remarks—tho fining production of -iS nuliern advo
cate of Slade- IPAtirs, will be found in the following
from tho Hartford Times of the d iy after tho re.
port wn* mude. Tho Times, published on the sput,
says:—
"Slavery Report.—The great length of tho
LcgLIntivo proceedings, together with the very nblo
nnd conclusive report uf the committee to whom
were referred several petit! •<ine relative to slavery,
which wo hy before our re id *r*, h ive excluded hI-
nmsi nil other m-ittur from our columns. The re
port will be rend with grant (merest. Wo have lie-
fore stited that the presiding officer* of thu Snnato
and House took tho u:iu*u d co-n-se of upp.tinting a
iniij'iray of their political opponents on this com-
iniitee, for tho purpose of avoiding ie«psn«ini!ity.
Well nnd faithful y have this mnj.yiiy discharged
tlieb duty. Tho report wns rejected in tint Senate
on Thursday by n strict pnily vote—the thiitecii
Federal Senators voting in favor i>f ii* d.•'finite post
ponement. mi l thu eight Democratic Senators sus
taining the report. Wo sli-dl comment mure fudy
upon this .-u ijcut next week."
The Messenger nsk* us, how could the rcsolu.
lions, he speaks of,be carried if the" Whigs" voted
against them?—wo will tell him. Supp-meall the
Dcmncnits voted for them nnd some of tho more
moderate " Whig*" did thu sume, they might he
carried. Now, purhups, lie cun add a new leaf to
his book.
One tiling is certain, however, tliat the voto in
tho Senate of that State, which is 03 component a
part of the Legislature, ut tho House, vent a strictly
parly vote—IS "WHIGS,”to* DEMOCRATS.
Can tho Messenger show it* whore the Democratic
party went against the South, in the Connecticut
Legislature T We linvo shown him wlrnt hi* pets,
tho " Whig*" have done. Thoy went in n solid
phalanx against the report in the Senate. Wc
think tho Messenger bad bettor lmvo "kept dark”
on this subject. Culling names, nnd impeaching
tlio" veracity" of contemporaries, will not go down
.with reflecting People nt this timo of day. The
Messenger talks of" Dick Johnson Democrats!”
—which doe* he prefer I "Johnson Democrats,"
or SLADE-WII IG$?
Tho Messenger, also, in a manner ut once cha
racteristic of “ nil thu decency, and nil the talent
party," pronounces a statement of ours, concerning
tho Whig press in Connecticut, " false—utterly
false," Assertions like this, wo will not bandy
with tho editorial writer in tho Messenger, but nt
this time, would merely call on that editor for proofs.
Let him show us, if lie can, thu “ Whig" paper in
Connecticut that “advocates tho cause of tho
Smith?" It is “necessary" tliat ho should do so
now—mid produce some of their eloquent defences
of tho South—their opposition to abolition, nnd
their ailvocucy of our Institutions. If Im can do
this, wa will cliuci fully render strict justice to such
n paper, by bestowing credit wlioro credit may be
due, and will imil it as an lionoralde exception in
these day* of blue-light Whiggory.
In taking leave of this subject, tiio editor of the
Messenger can complain of nn injustice. Wo havo
placed hi* article entire in our columns. This is
our general custom; that our renders may see what
is said pro and con. Will tho Messenger do tho
sume I “ Nous verrous."

Tho mooting was nno of much interest, and

A DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION.
Thoso merchants in ilia commercial emporium
of the countty—New York—ns well as those in
other cities who havo pursued n course of steady op
position to Iho Into nnd presont administration*
should pauio and refloct upon the injustice meted
outto their public servants. There nro many intelli
gent merchants who repudiate such opposition and
who acknowledge with gratofu! Amerlcnn feelings,
tho cflbrts of tho Democratic Administrations of
their country, for tho last ton years, to procure in
demnity for spoliations on their commcrco, and to
protect thnt commerce from nggrosslonof uny kind.
Others, however, withhold praise when it is deserv
ed, while they ardently seek for opportunities to
heap party wrath upon the heads of Democratic Ex-
coutiros. Is this politic,—is it just,—is it consist
ent with tliut American fooling which should glow
in tho bosoms of those, whoso enterprise unfurls tho
“ stars and stripes,", in tho most distant sens, anil
who in tho hour of conflict for their dearest rights
roly upon the American pcoplo, not us a party hut
as n community, to arm thoir defence, and to sus
tain that free trade which has been so imldy urged,
nt tho cannon's mouth, on aoa and on land,
THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE Mfift
CHANTS.
Let us now, in pursunneo of ihc-intimntion given
iu our paper of yesterday, inquire wlrnt tlm Demo
cratic Administration of iho Government, so vehe
mently accused of bittur and systematic hostility,
has done for tho merchants within tlm lust ten
years. Tho treo is best known by it* fruits; und to
use a more homely saving,equally true, “Tho proof
of the pudding is in the eating."
When Gonorul Jackson succeeded Mr. Adams,
tho foreign relation* of this country were in a state
of groat purplexity and confusion. Our oojcct is
nut to ennsuro others, but to vindicate tlm Domo
erotic Administration from unfounded charges. Wo
will not, for this reason, say whoso was tlio fault,
but so it was. Little hud lieen done in the way of
adjusting any of those points of controversy which
tho conflicting interests of nations inevitably pro
duce, except what rcnJeicd them more complicated
and inextricable. Wo h.u! lost tho West ItiJiu
trade, und Mr. Canning, tlio British Minister, hnd
declared ul).negotiation fur its restoration inadmis
sible. The French Government hud ceased even
to listen to propositions for indemnity; many of our
negotiation* liaJ been discontinued iu disgust;
others were at u duad stand; uud of others, the suc
cessful termination was beyond conjecture, if not
beyond Iiojkj.
This was most especially the case with thoso
claims for spoliations on the commerce of tho United
States, which hud from limn to timo been perpe
trated l>y the parties, great mid small, to tliat great
contest vv hicb ltn-1 lor so ninny years convulsed tho
nations of thu eu.th, and made her bosom the blood
stained hod of millions. The indemnity duo from
Franco was all hut a had debt, carried to tho ac
count of profit und loss. Tho cluim* on Nuplcs,
Denmark, ntul other powers, which had, either wil
fully or by caul-cion, seized and confiscated our ves
sels, were either iu abeyance, or relinquished in de
spair, and a nuliuuuluct of limitation loomed about
»•/ piwi-u ^u- r —-:lu! V „r u—v ■ ouster no
demand had lieen made for a long time, or it had
been urged in n sty e and tamper which mndo a
compliance Incompatible with national honor.
Such was the state of our foreign relations whan
tho sceptre passed from the hands uf tho Federa
lists, and a Democratic Administration succeeded.
And what do wo now see, n* tlw fruits of ten years'
rule of that Administration ? Thocolouinl jealousy
of England has bou.i southed, and thu Wost Indies
onencX TIm French indemnity is recovered. Tlio
Neapolitan indemnity is recovered. The Danish
indemnity is recovered. The Spunish indemnity is
recovered. Evciy where tlio account bus boon
dosed, awl justice done to tlio citizens of tho United
States, hy tneuns which liave elevated the character
of this confederation to a point it never uttainod un
der any former Administration.
For whom, and for whoso banefit, did tlio Demo
cratic Administration thus successfully labor 1 For
merchants, who wore abusing uiid calumniating it
a* their enemy all the while. There wus not a sin-
glo man among tho piautcra, farmers, or manufac
turers, interested a single dollur in tlieso vast resti
tutions. All wont into thu coflbrs of merchants,
who still continue, with increasing energy, the cry
of hostility to commerce, and dcnouuco the Demo
cratic Administration only tho louder for every now
benefit it confers.
Nor is tliis all. Tlio Doinounitio Administration
perseveres in heaping coals of lire on tlio hare hum!
uf rank ingratitude, by laboring incessantly for tlio
interest of commerce Treaties havo bocn con
cluded with vurious potentates in tlio East, which
cither give extension or sonority to the trade in that
quarter, aiul negotiations are every where in pro
gress to plncenur merchant* on u footing of equality
with those of tho most favored nations. Still more
than this. Tlio most eflectual protection to foreign
commerce is every whore givon, und whorover tho
flag uf thu United Slates is insulted, tlicir citi/ens
wronged, or th ir property or per-on* violated, tlio
interposition is prompt, and tho chastisement ef
fectual. Measures are in progress to increase Iho
sphere of this protection in tho East Indies, on the
coast of Af leu, in tho Gulf of California, on tlio
Northwest coast of America, in the vast I’ucific,
and wherever tho enterprise of our merchants shall
carry the flag of tlio Union.
Does this look like hostility T Doc* it afford the
shadow of a justification ovon to tho charge of in
difference to thu interests of tho merchants J Docs
it not prove directly the contrary t Does it not de
monstrate a persevering zeal, u’wary watchfulness,
thnt siiouid bring a blush of shame cm thu fucc of
tha merchant for this ingratitude ?
It is revindicate tliut Administration from till
absurd imputation, that wo have stated these facts
and drawn theta canclutlnn*. Wc not expect to
'• coax," ns tho phrase is, whenever wo talk a littlu
reason to our opponents. Wo d > not aspire to the
glory of converting a single one of these stem Iwlli-
gcreuu, whom eyes are blind, while their mouths
are wide open, uttering deep and hitter denuncia
tions. With mon so despcrutoiy boot on being re
venged on somebody for imaginary injuries that
they grasp their own throat* instead of those of
other people, it is in vain to reason, and still more
vain to attempt persuasion. There, are, however,
some, we believe many, among them, whom the
arts and uxcltemcnts uf political loaders, and thu
inflam-itory language of party newspapers, have not
yet elevated re that pitch of phrcnzy, which equally
places them above the sphere of reason or the reach
of conviction—some who have not yet ventured so
fur boy *nd their depth in the vortex of speculation,
th-rt nothing but ono her expansion of the great
cred.t system esn aavo them from drowning—»ome
whilook hack with longing eyes to the days of
morean'ile stability and “hard money." To ihese
wo have addressed ourselves, not to coax or per-
suidc, but toronvinco by facts and reasonings, thnt
the De-nocratic Administration is their best friends,
aud tioit nevnr will there be any permanent endur
ing prosperity among them until tnc currency shall
•gain rest on a specio basis, und the great measures
of that Administration be accomplished. They ms'
be assured that, while it steadily refuses to sacri
lice the interMis of the other great classes of the
community at the shrine of oommcrco, it will u
steadily persevere in that oourse which bo*b reawn
and experience prove most permanently beneficial
ui tho merchants, whose prosperity can never rest
jwrmxnently on tliat which Im* no permanency.
