We have often attetitptud, io preVent-onr delud!.

men to leave their Country in hopes of visionary
Kapp i4CSS in the United States of America
Cruel has been the disappointment to many .per-
sons from Ireland. A.meeiing took .piace at New
York', on the 27th of November, for the purpose
of procuring Eoine settlement for .these unfortu-
nate ,Emigratits: and to this meeting the tollow=

"The Neeting in New York, Which assembled in order to
deviSe meastires,fpr the relief of those' unfcirtunate and' de-
, laded wretches who have absaduned this country in the hope
of nsi;etingWith employment and wealth, in -the United
States, but who their, misfortune, .have diScovered
that they.have left their native land only to expirience-itilMS-
pitality starvation, and contempt. For this to be sure they
have hardly any one to blame but themselves :cOruein sense
might have suitgcsteilto them that in the sitici of Ainerica,
as New York, Philadelphia, Boston, or CliarletoWri, it ,was
only rcaSonable• to expect that every 'bratia of trade; every
object of profitatle pursuit, was occupied already as fully,
and in some cases as overstocked by established•tradersi
as any where in Europe; that' iii the civilized dis-
tricts, hgriculture :Was sutlicientry supplied with la-
bourers : and that they brought with them no niantr-
facture as the unpatriotic emigilitits from England, no vine.
and olive as the jacobin refugees of Fi-atice; td introduce them
to the notice of the Speculators or the Government of their
adopted country. But they , stOrned- the didates of the
common sense of the Old. World; common sense of. Tom

Paine, the pious panegyrist of America, being; we Suppose,
far superior. All they thbughti;rf was, that Acherica is a fine
place and a free place, where every man is a Patriot, and
co adventurer can fail of beingetaliebed by the mere breathing
of the'air. Profligate niusters of vessels, who did not care whe-
ther the miserable ..dlijectsof their delusion were starved Nt,
not, provided they could extort their freight; bukzeil
this fairy tale continually in the ears of all Who they
thought were foils enough td listen to them : and shame;
to say, NtiWSpaper Writers ‘re' found every wherei
aye, even in this very •city, syread the , same story,
to publish exultingly die number of unfortunate emi-
grants, and to t.riuuiph in the approaching blessituSlo
entailed all who had the happiness aif crossing the At,
!antic: And what are these blessings ? Let 'this document
linsiVer, this document drawn up by tractors or the suns 'of
tritors; by Men envenomed against their native country,
whd have al'‘Vays been preaching tire advantage of eatigra,
forced try want td lretome noxious and dangerous ;' they
:►re deClared hi have become burdens arrd scourges
to the Anierican cities ;' nhthing, it is Said,

scarcely .Can be conceived more distressing than
the situation of these titifriended strangers',' they
have `fifst,' says Mr. Sampson's Circular, the pure anti
honest energies with which they left•thcir native land, and
b:ive suffered worse than Shipwrecli in their moral qualities'
These are,the.blessings of the land of liberty and the slays
trade ! And what does the charity of Mr. Emmett, and Dr
Nl‘Nevin, and Mr. Sampson, and the rest of the gang of run-
away rebels, propose for the relief these miserable men ? Why
a Petition to Congress, to give them waste uncleared lands
among the Illinois; and, if tills he granted (tt problematical
point), they Will have the sublime felicity of working like
dray horses to cut down the treei, and enitivate the soili
with rifle-gun in hand tdptottet thrniselt^rs against the In-
dians; and iii the end, peihMte; after paying either with
thillars oP pe.isotial slavery for this indulgence, bo turned out
like old Dan Boon, and the original settleri of Kentucky, by
some knaiiSh act of an unprincipled CongfeSs.

" Mr. Emmett, koWel,er, Sits the love tl:e
tchiStittltioit Of the States. Pretty conart this, by the way,
for starving men ! But, we do nut ntul•lt doubt the truth of
his assertion : many of theni are worthy of liming it. Frau,..

tion Of those who have sought Auierici. We dd. not pity
them for their sufferings : we dd not envy the acquisition of
