These agitations, our gravest and best citizens have witnessed with equal alarni and indignation,, and they have found theuisclve impelled to invoke tho patriol- isiu ot tni naiioii to nieiiiiai upon in icdy wbieh shall restore peace to the dis- .ted luinds of the disputants, and aup re men tract ply better purposes to employ the energy that has been devoted to this unhappy dis cord. To accomplish this, the American asbociatiou or rmrtv has suddenly 'arisen iu i every section of the country. It comes to ! inaugurate a new era, i ; which tho original j purpose of our Union, shall be re-asserted, : and the hopes which animated its authors ahall be infused anew infi the heart of tho 1 living generation, by a tVsh invocation of that national spirit, which lives not more hi 1 . .. . the glorious memories of tlie past, than it does in the native instinct of every Auie-1 rienn bosom at tho present d uy. j The timo is T.roiiitious to this crcnt re- form. All men ackuowlidge that the old jliuctive ojilnlou. iiii'Bi r wuing twnv these, it is tonally spparMit tbat they have intcrvtulioii of tiiellapsed into a condition which has lost them much of the confidence of the people, Thev lie om n to the rrnroach of nubstitut-! incr for honest differences of i ud.'tiient tir.oii f questions of public concern others of ui- baste motives they propose to a continued strife. They seem to baro grown ojt of no better motive than a desire to keep up division for the profit of those who may thrive by it, in a career which looks t) ho . ohiect of honorable ambition and scarcely affects to refer to the public good. I'arty . . . . , . action has thus, in a irreat decree, lost all dignity above that of a mere struggle for the power of dispensing patronage, and has done what it could to inculcate iu tho mind of the people nn opinion that Government is but a complicated system of rewards for ofliee-seckers, in w hom tbe faculty for faithful service is the last and the least of the qualifications' they are expected to present. To this latter strife the accidents and tlie necessities of the dav have brought new and dangerous auxiliaries. The ei t v or misrule which has overborne large uum- bers of tho subjects of European monarch- i"i and the att-aetions which have been loffered bv the I'nitcd States to manv who desire to better their fortunes, have, for some years past, turned au immense cur- rent of emigration towards our shore.

T r I and w hilst nearly all with .-o;ne couspicu- ous exceptions muf lift turned to useful account in the labor required upon our public improvements, and iu the settlement of our broad aud uncultivated territories, it is equally true that this accession to our population has not been unattended by evils of serious import. The emigrant, ig- norant of our institutions and laws, often ignorant of our language, necessarily in all chscj uiiimbucd with tho traditioual and native seiitiinent which gives life and per- manetice to our institutions a sentiment without wliich no American citizenship can be relied upon as tbe support of a true American i policy ha beeu permitted, after Hon of a few years, to be brought ircld of national fellowship arnTed the probation into the circld with all the powers for good or evil v.heh i I .i .: s ., ! ii.i ood or evil v. bjeli if the soil.
