REMOVAL. The office of the native American has been removed from street to Pennsylvania avenue, a few doors East of the Railroad Depot.

Communications for the upper part of the City left in the Postoffice will be attended to. Sept. 6. JOSEPH ETTER. NATIVE AMERICANISM.

We have been so often asked, What are the objects proposed by the Native American Associations, and we have so frequently answered those inquiries, that we must be excused for occasional tautology. But, we have been so much taunted with a want of aim, that we deem it expedient often to recur to first principles, and to reply to some of the questions put to us, in a way that we hope will be satisfactor)'. Thousands of emigrants, among whom, in order that the rule may be established by (ho strength of exceptions, might be found many honest and valuable people, have been annually poured into the United States, filling the land with languages and habits and i uncouth. They come from every country in Europe, but particularly from Germany and Great Britain. The former casts forth its surplus beggary by the subscriptions of her princes, and the latter by a regular system of taxation upon the parishes.

The necessity of ridding those established governments of these people is obvious, if persons will turn their attentions to the wild and agrarian doctrines that are there broached, and which these irresponsible people are selected to carry out. Reaping no benefit or protection from the laws, save from that which doomed them to dependence and immorality, they were known to be willing at any time to lift the black flag of desolation, and under the command of unprincipled demagogues, march on to plunder and destruction. They are now shipped to this country, ignorant of the laws of their native land, and with but one instinct still natural affection even for the hovels of sin or the palaces of shame, where they were come to us, say they, to increase the worshippers of liberty. They may love liberty, but do they love our laws that consecrate that liberty to all the purposes of divine justice and social peace Do they know aught of the concessions made by the native population, among themselves, for the restraining of the wild impulses so incident io humanity Whenever any of these foreigners set up as tcachers of politics in this country, as they often do, they immediately become rabid upon the theme, as Cobbett, McKenzie, Fanny Wright, and others have already done. The foreign prints, established at different points, are intended as pioneers to the great mass of that millioned horde of foreigners who are devastating this country with their principles, and that sooner or later must accomplish a mastery for themselves in this country, unless we resist their inroads.

The Duke of Richmond, some years ago, at a public dinner in Canada, said that Emigration was a policy with the Crowned heads of Europe to annihilate the liberty of the United Slates." How easily would that be accomplished. These hordes aflft not informed for what purpose they are sent here? but artful, designing men, men of ability, are despatched with means to establish presses, that are known to have such concentrating influence over colonial settlements and and they commence the insidious war. They commence the disparaging comparisons between the natives and the foreigners, until the piide of the latter becomes so excited, that they forthwith boast openly of their superiority. Let any man who reads this article pause for a moment, and his mind will present him with a hundred facts to prove our assertion. Actuated by these feelings of flattered vanity, operated upoii by these partizan presses, sometimes printed in a language not intelligible to the American authorities, and liable to contain plans ruinous to our institu lions, where will ihey slop when their numbers shall have grown into concentrated armies They are opposed to the native population, because the native population is at present in the ascendancy; and if there was tio foreigner in office, the (lame of their hate qnd envy would burn so ns to be seen by all.

At present tliey have been flattered and rewarded, and they are taking peaceful means of obtaining and preserving in their hands all power. This is no idle speculation, but ster. ling facts, which we gather from observation and from reasoning 'upon the principles that away mankind and it is to prevent the farther increase of this natural element of opposition to American liberty and American law, that the Native American population is aroused. It is an inevitable consequence of the long peace in Europe, that pauperism and population should increase and it is natural that those Governments should ship them over to England will not send them to herColoniea, because she knows their deep depravity of education and are those men, who were the paid soldiers ol carnage, fit to be citizens of a moral Government, and finally masters overa nation, whom, in former days, their fathers waded through blood for seven years to conquer, but, thank God, could not subdue We are contending against this moral danger, which, ere long, will find sinews and muscle and become physical and we find it already seated upon the ermine of the in office every wherever existing, opposed to the true interests of the country, from nature and education, if not from will. The inevitable effect of the array of foreign publications in our country against our countrymen, is to alienate still more, if possible, the feelings of the foreigner from whatever is truly American, to rouse the just jealousy and fears oi the natives, to foment enmities, to produce separations, and to weaken and eventually to sever the tie that binds us together as one people.

Let not our fellow countrymen indulge in self-delusion, and believe that there is an inherent principle of strength and stability in our institutions which would necessarily defeat and prostrate the malign influence of foreigners, without any personal effort of our own. There was a lime when the Romans could have made such a boast. But then all her citizens were Romans. When she let in others, she let out the palladium of her we all know her sad fate. By neglect Governments have been neglect ours may share the same fate and if, with our greater light and experience, we permit it, we shall deserve to be spurned for the little value we set upon our best boon.

Let us swear, therefore, on the altar of our beloved and common country, to fight and win the second great battle for liberty and ourselves. Deprive us of liberty, and from that moment there would be no honor in the now proud declaration, I am a citizen of the United States. A people without liberty, or an effort to gain it, do not deserve a coantry. A people who have a country and will not preserve it, are a curse to that country, and an incumbrance to the earth. Hundreds of thousands of our people who never heard of our paper and our objects, cherish our sentiments, and deprecate the evil which our exertions, yet circumscribed and but partially known, are intended to remedy and contemplate in passive solicitude and alarm the fearful consequences which threaten us from our unpardonable toleration of the laws of naturalization, and if possible, the more culpable apathy as to the dangerous deluge of injurious and degrading foreigners, overwhelming us from all quarters with paupers, vagabonds and convicts.

If it be suffered to go on much longer with the progressive augmention, by which it has been marked for some years past, there will not be a mouutain top to be seen above this flood on which the political ark can rest with safety, for all will be in foreign hands. This baneful influence is ccrtain to end in strife, in conflict, and in revolution, when our National Banner will be torn stripe from stripe, and its stars hutled from their spheres, never more to cheer the eyes of freemen, unless those who are free are also brave, and at once take measures to prevent this evil. The tree of liberty itself will be exterminated, and the last hope of the world will vanish upon the wings of the eagle, in his flight to unknown regions. It is not for us, who, steering between the political parties that now agitate the country, directing the prow of our vessel to those calm seas of national honor and repose, to stop by the way side to discuss what we conceive to be the minor phases of events. Every thing is fast verging into the current in which we sail; and the principles that we advocate are mightily in advance of the minor efforts of partizan patriots.

A country has its peculiar destiny, and in its fate is wrapped up the hopes and fears of millions living and millions yet unborn, and Christianity is suspended over the course of Liberty and Civilization. The destiny of our country is so noble in the prospective, so sublime in hope, tint those who steer constantly fa its light cannot be entranced with the glorious vista that opens upon their vision. Liberty, Law, Religion. Virtue, thb A Me ant! Sciences, the gigant.c growth of man's mirid, all are deeply iitler-, ested in aiu! it should be the delightful duty of all patriots to advance nud expedite that event. Let, then, all unite in ridding the pathway of that country, of all retarding obstacles, and banish forever from our shores, that motto, set up by cupidity, viz.

Welcome, ye of all classes and all climcs." The parties, then, of different docilities, will becoinc patriotic and not office seeking, and hut one star will light them in their combats, the good of their common and original own native land." We repeat that we enter into no feelings of partizanship, but are obeying the s'rict injunctions of the Native American Constitution, which declares, We will not hold him guiltless of his country's wrong, who prefers the foreigner to the native." Let any man dare to tamper with these hordes of aliens, and the voice of the American press ill be raised against him, whether Van Buren, or Harrison, or any other man, ambitious of his country's honors. It is unfortunately natural that foreigners should seek the aid of those who can furnish them with offices and snch is the phrenzy of rly warfare, that all parties are eager to attach to their interests the floating hordes of criminals, who flock to us from Europe. It is only the accident of power that attaches them to the ins," and arays them against the "outs," and let a change of administration take place when it may, without a repeal of the Naturalization Laws, and the parly succeeding will be courted by these foreigners, and so on until their super-preponderating influence will make the American Government but the play thing of knaves and the banquet of villains. In view of all this, we ask, will not our patriotic citizens support the papers sincerely devoted to their feelings, their rights, and their interests 1 We ask, and hope to receive it. TO THE PUBLIC Whether Native, Naturalized or Foreign.

On Monday next, the 21st instant, we will place before our door, a Bulletin Board," on the plan of those in New York and other Eastern cities. On this board, will be found all the news of the day, whether American, Foreign, or Political. We shall endeavor to keep it fresh, so that readers may not be disappointed, when they call, in seeing something new and interesting. Our exchange list will enable us to keep before the public eye, every thing of interest. We say therefore to all, come and read the Bulletin and learn the news.

It has been suggested to us that the gamblers who have been run out of other cities flock in upon us, and are becoming a nuisance to the community; and we have been asked where our officers are, that the Roulet tables between 7th and 4 1-2 streets, are permitted to laws to the contrary notwithstanding. We will look into this matter, and speak on it further hereafter. NEWS OF THE WEEK.

Whatever difference of opinion may bo entertained relative to the object of tho Smithsonian Bequest, which provides for the diffusion of knowledge among men," we may gather this fact, that tho main intention of the testator was the selection of the most efficient agency in the accomplishment of the end he had in view.

The agency lie wished to employ were the people of the United States, and he addresses the Congress only as their organ. lie is not careful to settle the question as to the character of the knowledge to be diffused the institutions of our free Governments are to him a sufficient guaranty that wholesome, moral and intellectual nutriment can alone be diffused under their sanction; Ilad he endowed a college in Europe, he well knew that any knowledge which might emanate from it would be monopolized for the use of the aristocracy, and not "diffused among menor, if diffused, tinctured with doctrines adverse to the happiness o.f tho human race. Had the bequest of Smithson been committed to any power in Europe, the intentions of this testator in diffusing knowledge among men must have been frustrated. It would in no case, it could not in accordance wiili the royal, noble, or episcopal pretentions, be so applied as to enlist the general enterpj ise of the people iu the promotion of his object. It is foreign, to the policy of any class possessing power in any of those countries to enlighten the people; because it is denied generally iu all of them, that the powers exercised by their rulers are derived f'romthe people.

On the contrary, in these United States, it must be the natural desire of A'ic rulers to afford to the people every facility of acquiring knowledge and this being well known to this benevolent man, he wisely appointed the most efficient and hearty agency upon earth for the diffusion of knowledge among men. The people of America are therefore looked to by the whole world with the most thrilling interest. Great is the responsibility devolving upon them. It is written in legible characters upon all their institutions, "This people is not governed by force, but by their attachment to the principles of law and order; by their devotion to truth, justice and right reason." Knowledge is essential to the security of these hallowed institutions. The mistakes of government cannot be of long duration; sordid interests acting partially 011 different sections of the great domain, or on different portions of the people, will not long continue to disturb the just equili briuin of the governments, if the people will only advance in the acquisition of knowledge.
