The Native Americans

We never rxpccted to sec a Nat ve American erganizntjon in WWIitenaw counly - But one has been formed; nnd being desirous of lenrning (lie-ir principies from tlietnsehes, we aitcnded two of ihciï meetings. As verv few of uur reai'ers ere over present nt n 'Nulive'' inceiiup, t may gratify thein ifwe ubjoin ilio Fubstunccof some notus we took rn these occasions. Thefirst meeting Was held in tlie Conrt lon-e, Oct. 17, and was addressed hy Edvard L. Fuller, f.irriierïy Whig Senator from liis Conltfy. Mr. F. commenced by refl-rr ng to the freednm which ought to exist in hiscoun'.ty. Tlierc should be free thnught - a free pres? - free Conscience. Vet tliie 'roe-dom was greatly re.-truined by the snack es of politica I party spirit- a popish, intolernt spirit, wliitíh rpqnired thestrictest confor nily to the Cstablished modes of pnech nnd ction. Yrstcrday lie wtis bioïióif curted 'rom the Whig party, on account of his Naive American principias, although h had laored in it for ten ycars past willi zeal and Rurnestii(;s8. Emigration to the United States from forgn countries was increniiig. It was oti nnied thia year at 300,000. In New York .lone G7,000 foreigners had landed in fivc nonlhs. Most of these were Catholics end oigbt -tent lis of Inetti wt're degraded, vicious and norant. Thcy bring willi them their irrj'idices and nntiniialities. Thv know little ir no'hing of our liistory or instiditions, and re, thcrerorc, td a great exient, incapalile of he fcelings of pottjoijeuj for their adopted ountry. The drift of Mr. Fuller's nrgumPrit Vas to how ihct the emigration of the Catholics to big country vvai? da ngcrons to our polilicnl nstitutiens. In support of this pnsitioiic he dduced variotis fncts: - that the Pope claims, ho íuhji'cthn of evèry human being: tint the Bishops take ari onth to be faithfol to the 'ope, to keep his secretfi, to observe nlí liis np.ndates, and cnusc them to be ob?erved by 3iher.s: that t!ie Jesuits, (of which there are nany in thiscountiy) aro bound by oñth to ecognize the supreriiac)' of the Popó over all ther authoritie?, nnd to labor fór the overhrow of heretical governm nts: that the Cstholic priesfs are unlike uil othor politicians among Os, ihasmnrh a tliey hnp no fimiilios uid thoir cnly antbititm enn be the pxnliniioii if their ordrr, (Vhile ihey are suhjcctcd to B 'oreign power: tint tlie proatcr part of the 5reigÖ eniiyrrants are very ignorant, eaiily oiitroÜed by a few, and go in roñases, and can, ií tlicy wili, wield o balance of power to subvcrt our Jibertied. Tiiat thev would be dispoped to use their inlitjcal flíCí ndoncy forrthia pnrpose, he argu'ed from their principies, fíe reíd from flie )re?ent Pope' Ëricyciical Ietter. parograglis n cónaëmnafion of liberty of cowscience as a 'pftiUfiïtuïl ci'ror" - aiifl m reprobaiion of he kidttvsled uberly nf the preas,'' He reorrei! to EngiÍ8li hïstnry to hovv llrat íhíJ 'ope liad nssiiined power to abnoive Sdbjstíli 'rom thoir oath of alleginnre in tli ensn of Cing Johü and of Qneoti Elizubetli. Riynond of Thoulotiee was lïlso depri vod of his omporalities by the Pope, and snftmrri prnice liy lieing wliippcd by a fhntik. Heneé, bij )aih óf allpgiiincê, taken by a in -uppcfrl of our guvernmunt, could nnt hn relird on, eo lont' ns cvery Catholic prie.-t could ibrolvji his parishioners from all obliffnlton to obcy tlK-ir aalh. Mr. Fnllnr ro-id from 3rovnsn tothowtlnt the Ciithnlic Church s the church of God, nnd that our i'nstitutioris 6!ioiild be engrnfted u'pon 'ü, and that 'Deruocrncy is ú. íhiscbieTous dreun whVre he (Jntholic faith does iiot prcvail.' Thf Catholic Telegrapli at Cincinnati promulga ed similar ppthfñns. Mr. F. theri iiwe a hislory of the Lftopold foundation, iistablished m Germany for the promotiun of Cntholicsm in tbc United States, which is hended am! controll'd by the Austrian povernmont. lic quoted from Gibbon and Sismondi to prove that Canicalla's act for nalurahring nïl foreigners was a great etcp towards Uio full of tho Ronnn' empire. In his rcmark'i, Mr. FuÜor referred to th' motto exliibitcd in New York - 'American-han't rule usv- to a wish oxpre.-sed somewhereby a Catholic priein, that the Tuquisition might be estaWislied nmong usj-to the immense sums sent over from Europe to cnd)W Cnthplic schoole and colleges - to the troubles respoclmg coinmon echools which had taken place in Catholic m-ighborhoods, and concluded by referring to tlie fucility with which the Catholic foreigners could obtain the balance of power, and tlirough that, every tiing thcy might wish. h was said that in Chicago a majórity of the voters were foreighefcr, and IJlinois wascontrollcd by them. In tbis County, two foreigners were alreadv nominated for the Legislature. Next year hey tnrght demand three, and the 3'ear after fotir mombers, till they nttoined tüpreme political power. On Wednesday evening nnolhnr meeting wns held. Mr. Fuller addressed the audionce on the same topics, tho scope of his remarks bt'ing directed ngainst the Cat!ohc laiih. The Ciitliolicö, he said, were opposed to three great princip'e of republicanim - liberty of concience, liberty of opinión, and liberty of the press-and their uscendency among us would rcsult in bloody persecutions anü massacres, such as had chsraclerised thcii carcer in Catholic States. The indicnlions of :his were seen in the butmng of Bibles, and similar acts of intolernnce. He referred to the trut-kling of polilicians of b'olh parties who were "6'f continually to build their churches, and quoten the language of a politi cian in tliin connty who deelared he liad paúl 9515'in grocery bill6, for the accomodation of foreignera, and yet there was no end to them. They woro also taxed in the shape of Repeal societies. Hp quoted etatistics to show that a very large share of pnupera and oriminal-j weru forcigners. He spoke of 8,000 llogal Irish votes having been polled at the N. York city clection last April, btit gave no proofs of it. líe was gratified that Dr. Beecher, Dr. Chccvcr, Sec. were laboring to wnlte up the people to the danger of Catholicism. - The Native party were alrcady triumphitig irNew York, Jioston, Baltimore, Si. LouiS) nhd other place?. The rcmrdy for the cvils of Catliolicism wan a restriction on foreign entójfratton, to be iitlposcd by I he General Government. Tha limitation of tile rightof suffrage to 21 years fefeidence )nl beeíi proposed, but was ihoiHit to be less rffectunl than a rrstriction upon thcir coming nmong' us at all. Rmigration if uncheckcdjWOüM not only continue, but wonld niigmeni; nná in 15 or 20 years the most valLinblo public fands would bc locatcd: n general riso ofreíil estáte would take plíicft: ond i syptetn of tenantry and serf'dnm, substantinly like ihnt of Irelnnd or Riissin, would cnpue, with all lts evila of poverly nnd oppress. ion. Tlie rptnedy was to keep out :he foroigners, and preserve this rich domain for our se! ves. We need Ecnreely sy to our rendere, that we lmve givéh tlns -keicli of Nativnstn merely for the purposes of inforinatioli, and not boennse we have niiy sympttthy witli its doctrinos. Ve do not shnre in tle anticipated evils of foreitfíi emiraiion, nor would we join in a crusade ngainsl Cntholics. Jf ibey aro dlsposed to come nmong us, we vould treat thero kindly, and let thein have that religious toleraíion which we claim for ourselves. If 'hey trcspnssed upen our rights, we wouldii ihen resist tlieir intrusión. I:i ono or two gerierntfite, these foreigiiere will become artnlgalitiitëd with the remainder oft.'io peopie, and will tafee rnnk among our most iníclügent and virluoua citizens. Our feehngs would lead a% instead of prohibilions and re f=tricíiojs, to extend to theopprrssed and dögrnded of other natioiis, the moot liberal sym-. pathy for their mieíbrtunes, nnd the largeat ib of tiióuglit, epeech and action.
