THE NATIVE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION.


Under the auspices of the Association of Ma
tive Americans, recently formed in this city, will
shortly issue a weekly paper, to be called THE
NATIVE AMERICAN at 81 SO per annum, paya-
BILE in advance, or SO at the end of six months.
The paper will be under the editorial control of
Henry ]. Brent, Csq. of this city-a gentleman
of high character and acknowledged abilities.


We sincerely trust that the paper will meet
with extensive patronage. The time is come for
action on this great question. The ballot-box-
the great bulwark of American liberty--is fast
passing into the hands of foreigners, for so they
must be called, though domiciliated among us
Mere civil enactments cannot change men. They
may be endowed with the privileges Of American
citizens, but they cannot, by mere force of law
be converted into Americans in day:

vote until he is 81 years of age, and it is surely


no unreasonable demand to require OF foreigners
b residence for as long period at least. Inc
safety of our institutions, the safus popm'' re- n
ouires this prudence and precaution. Our polls
