The native American., 1837-08-10
A PICTURE,

We call public attention the following facts, af-
forded by the intelligent New York correspondent Of
the National Intelligencer. These two hundred are
doubtless the elite of the emigrants, men who may
possess some pride and money, and not Immediately
dependant the parish; and who, finding that they
had arrived in land as much beggarly European as
their own, have thought it better to return to their old
haunts. Let prosperous breezes fill their sails, and
welcome be they 70 the white cliffs Of Old England!
The population Of New York must, indeed, resem-
BILE the miserable cities of the old world, and to
foreigner present familiar spectacle; and yet we
claim to be separate in laws and government, and
distinct in our habits and customs. How long will
we remain so if we to have the great limbs Of our
population inoculated with this corrupting of
foreign emigration!
What benefit is to be derived from the return to
Europe of this two hundred batch, when Cath
crime street the bed of thousands of these impover
ished peope-a portentious figure of the final destiny
of our country-blocking up public avenues with
their bodies they will hereafter mar and possess our
public places of trust; whence, looking around our
country, and seeing thousands and thousands of their
countrymen lying about penniless and worthless how
easy will be for their leaders, who possess these pub
lie powers, to call upon this rouse and usurp
this fair country to themselves? That these results
may happen is probable; for the "Lverpool Mail'
states the number of emigrants to New York at ten
thousand per month! And is it not fact, that Prince
Meernich is making arrangements to despatch to
shores four hundred and fifty thousand of his subecsl
Now sixty thousand inhabitants, according to the law
of the United States, have right to form State and
these four hundred and fifty thousand subjects of
foreign Prince, can form themselves into States
They have the power if they have the will and are
tenants Of liberty only twill Of foreign despots,
and dependant them for the majority in our Nation
al Legislature.
Are these things to be borne by the sons Of the Re-
voution Of seventysix! But we will 90 on in our
toleration of this evil, until every right shall have
been yielded: and, with every right, every hope of
gaining them. Crushed in spirit and in body, we will
lie PROSTATE beneath the feet of Holy Alliance Of
Kings, and then the proud anthem will go forth from
the thrones, rejoicing in the subjugation of the people
Of the free United States:
"Large numbers Of emgrants continue 10 arrive: a
British brig to-day brings $780, Some of the late arri-
walls bring the smallpox; and board of one ship, il
is said that Of the passengers died of saruat;oa
These are horrible evils, and Congress must remedy
them. Many Of the emigrants are deceived in Europe
by shippers and then cheated when they arc shipped
il does seem as il Europe was pouring out its vast
population upon US. Our streets are full of foreign
beggars. During the hot weather their appearance in
the morning reminds Of Naples, or the I.evee at
New Orleans, where so many make beds of cotton
bags One of our streets (Catharine street) is long
bed, the pillows being the stepping the bed the
