I~fressmenf.--We have devoted large
portion OF our columns to day to this sub
ject, in order that every one who reads NAV
know the extent of the evil. duly appreciate
the importance of the question it involves,
and detect the abominably wicked and gross
falsehoods which are propogated on the
subject by some of the federal party. We
exhibit.
1st. The sentiments Of every administra-
ton from Washington's to the present !;
from which it vii be seen. that they have
all viewed it as an evil which the nation ne
verought to submit to,<and one which affor-
ded ample Cause of vak

short period of 19 months-and these not
embracing, in Col. Lyman's opinion more
than one third ofthe cases that actually 90
Cured during that time 271 applications
TO MIR King (Rufus King, who was nomina-
ted by the federalsts for the vice-presiden-
Cyl in Is months and Mr.. X. tells you,
that with few exceptions, he was satisfied
that the applicants were real Americans.
&c. We show that very few of these i'm pres
sed seameh turn ont to be Englishmcn that
few have been discharged that many have
been detained on the most frivolous preten-
ces, lin many cases because the impressing
officer had destroyed their protections) and
that to many applications no answer has
been given. And,

small one to what we might give) Of the
practical and local operation of this accur-
sed practice. We show that more than $50
