IRISH EMIGRANTS.

Nothing scarcely can be conceived more distress...
ing than the situation of an unfriended stranger ar-
riving here from across the Atlantic, without the
turnips of helping himself, awl without even coon',
acquaintance with the men and things about him,
to enable bibs IA judge what path 1w shrink' islet to
secure him front the miseries of absoltire want.—
Such, however, is actually the ritioation of lion.'

vide foe these forlorn brings, several attempts have
heels made hr associstions of humane indivirlools
here, but nothing hitherto has appeared so promis-
ing as that of which an account here follows
At a meeting of Irishmen and descendants of
In -hnsr►y held at Harmony Ilan, on Tuesday,

rpon motion of Timms, ADD,. EIISIFT, the
Circular preeinu.ly issued on this subject was
wail by the Secretary :
(CIRCULAR.)
It is a sentiment long felt, and often expressed,
that 1111 l should be undertaken on behalf of
the Einignisits who II telt to these shores.
Wallow, 'm fixed destination, they remain in
the sea port., uppt:l becoming victims of bail cows- i
eel and bad example, they lose the pure and Inest
energies with which they left their native land, and
sutler worse than shipwreck in their moral qualities.
the Goverientetit of this great Republic is well
aware of the polvantage to be derived from so great
a mass of laborious industry, when usefully direct-
ed and employed—and of adding to the nation's
strengths, men whose attachment to the institutions
of dos country is assured by so many ties. Rot it
is in the order of things, that 6 1111 l eof the friends,
particularly the coutitrymeu of these emigrants,
who have been some time established um! known,
should come forward to attest the necessity, and
guarantee the solidity of the enterprise.
If this has nett lwen done sooner, it is because
every advance ia social improvement must come itt
its sra‘opp. It is the rip tress of the occaviosp, and
the coke of the times that now speaks.
It has been remarked, that among the lands now

We, a hose mimes are undersigned, have suet to
constilt upon the means of promoting some esta-
blishment that might be a rallying point f►r the
rti,tre 'sell, and give to the wanderer • habitation
and s Milne. We have thought of no better way
than to address, by this Circular, the friends awl
well-•ishers of Ireland, whose co-operation might
give most wrieht to the measure ; and to submit,
whether it might not be advisable to join all our
efforts, and petition Congress early in the ensuing
Session, for a grant of a suitable tract, upon
crcd►t of 14 or 15 years, subject to such conditions
and modificatious as the Gose ttttt tent may most
fitting.
To the Government we would offer no deceptive,
(Missive, or precarious motive, rather choosing to
make its w►sdom, benignity, and patriotism, the au-
thor of our hope.

We request of you, if you approve of our senti-
ment. and of our project, to advance and promote
it by your best endeavours; either by forming
or-
Kattiard associations, or by ohtai ii io ig individual sig-
natitres, to :I petition of the elfrct stated. We have
ill yet been able to dig. .t a plan, and have rather
chosen to make this humble beginning, in hopes
that we ►hould soon receive additional light upon
the subject from the correspondence we solicit.
We shall, nevertheless, isroceeil to investigate the
subject, and challenge the co.niwrist of good
mud respectable men, and request of you to du the
same.
