II was under burning sun, in the month q July
last that crowd Of human beings were landed upon
the beach near Amboy. They appeared steady ana
respectable, and gave tokens of health and comfort
except here and there poor creature, whom long
voyage and scanty subsistence had covered win
weakness and debility.
"Wherc do you come 'front.'"
"Wo have been driven from New York by the
Mohawk savages2'
"What are you going to do2'
eve are going to erect hut to protcctus from the
sun on this burning beach, till get into the in
terror That cool billow coming up the sandy beach
is the only friend have found IN this cline as ye
"What brought you to this country :"
Our ancestors left our native shores, and were for
full century received by the Indians with friendship
and hospitality here. We also come for the same
reasons that they came"
Sand don't you receive the same kindness ;"
"The common descendants Of those ancestors
now in New York, bone of our bone, flesh OF our
flesh, have driven us away frem Their shores 10 be
buried in this houseless beach If the Indians had
had still possession of that Island we would have re-
ceved common hospitality"
"And what are you going TO do with that ban-
ket?"
I" / am going to make it the covering for hut to
protect my wife and daughter who, after long sea
voyage have been denied into the great city
because l have net money enough 10 pay for all OF
u.s."
This conveys merely brief idea Of the numerous
scene. of distress and suffering, increasingly caused
by the nhuman and atrocous legislation Of the num-
cipal government during the present year.
Some Of the great principles on which our institu-
tons and laws are founded are humanity, phanthro-
py, and patriotism, with industry and worth. The
early colonization of these states grew out of desire
in the colonsts to better their condition, TO improve
the of life, and spread the glory and the ge-
MUS of the race from the rising to the setting of the
sum- From the first settlement Of Plymouth and
jamestown, up to the month of July, 1887, embracing
period of than two centuries, these principles
nave been in constant action. Even the very savages
of the seventeenth century, received our ancestors
with Kindness humanity and friendship. They did
not ask whether a man was poor or rot TO enttle
him to kn1ness. They did not pass municipal laws de-
barring his entrance into our rivers, merely to sub
serve miserable delusion and empty pretence.-
They found him a stranger seeking new home, and
he received the hand of welcome. He broke their
bread-he tasted Of their cup.
On these humane, civilized and christian principles,
practced upon by the very Indians Of the wild woods,
has this mighty country grown to its present magni-
tude. From few wanderers at Plymouth Man
hatta, and jamestown, we have become mighty
and powerful nation The wilderness has becomevo-
cal with civilized Efe-the mountain is cut down and
evelled to the even ground-the rivers are peoped
with floating palaces-the fields covered with corn,
grapes, fruits flowers We are a great, rich and
mighty people, Shall we, therefore, the descendants
IF the original race who first braved the stormy At
antic, wrap ourselves up in costly urs and debar
he blood of our blood, the bone OF oar bone, from
enjoying also the same chances with ourselves !?
The policy which has been originated by the pre-
sent atrocious party in the municipal government, Of
irving away the emgranfs from ports by high
,enalties is barbarous, inhuman, cruel un-Amerlcan
md unchrstian. In commercial point of view,
very able bodied emigrant to this land of eternal
rares and everlasting vallies is worth least $1,000
the national capital. But on the scored phlanthro
~ an enlightened civilization, great AMBITION their
,aue is ncalculable--uncountablc The miserable ex-
:usc that some Of these emgrants may be worthless,
pa,ry falsehood. The great bulk of every class
,f emgrans from Europe 10 America is moral, in
lusirious useful, and civilized. Ignorance, immora-
iy disease and corruption never seek foreign land
is the healthiest and purest classes of society that
always seek better fortune in another country.
We cannot conceive, therefore, any policy any
conduct any course Of measures utterly subyersvc
Of every principle of utility feeling philanthropy and
as the measures put in force against
European emigration by the present corrupt party in
power in this city. With the most daring eifrontery,
this inhuman band Of men, worse than cannbals of
the South Sea- have dared to put forth ticket frem
the Broadway House and Masonic Hail. containing
the names Of the very men who originated and car
ried out this barbarous system in the corporation.
Can the free and humane people of the city sustain
such band Of impudent and dirty pretenders TO ex-
Will not the blood Of the glorious race
from which we all sprung boil up in Indignation, and
hurl the Hoxie faction TO perdton next week
Throughout this great city the elements OF morals Of
Justice Of equality of liberty, of civilization, of high
are in commoton. dsgraceful and
overwhelming defeat overshadows the Hoxie, Ellen
Jewstt Dick Robinson, bubble spectators, rotten
ticket proceeding from Masonic Hall. II
cannot and will not succeed. Rouse people of New
ork and crush the deesled faction in its very first
throes Of existence.
