The native American., 1837-10-14

We throw ourselves upon the patience OF the read
er, in the discussion we are about to commence. we
may feel ourselves obliged to travel ever extensive
fields OF argument ami quotation, before we can ac-
complish the end have in view. Without further
preface, we will proceed 10 our subject.
We have con,ended here and elsewhere, that the
principles Of pure republican form Of government
were liable great changes by the influx OF foreign
es. This assarii N has been contradcied by certain
presses, and the patriotism, virtue, honesty, modea-
ton Of the emigrans lauded 10 the skies and in many
instances, placed far above the qualifications IN
The native-born
The stream Of emigration has been setting in upon
us ormany years. Ever since Buonapaite's over
throw on the field of Waterloo, 1--WE like to date from
in the worlds annals The population of the va
rious kingdoms Of Europe as heen increasing with
rapidity. IN former days, the bullet and the bay

the poor house. Consequently, he poor man, too
proud 10 seek enge in the poor house. is driven 70 the
ails Of England, and the pauper to The shores Of the
United States.
We have all seen Of what manner Of men these
pauper princes are-we have seen them sleeping on
the pavemen,s of New York-ihe curb stones Their

We will merely give graphic picture, taken by an
English writer, Of The itteror of Of the Of
an English poor house, in Kent county.

alter give our leaders more perfect insight into these
palaces Of the pauper Our object now is TO draw a
parallel which we hope will be remcmb cred by our
enemies.
we have seen the account of meeting Of people in
the city Of New York, styling themselve loco Fo-
css, who broke into the doors of Tamnany hall, and
head' by foreignerdrov the natives from the room
where they were forming political plans to advance
their peculiar, but still American cause. This we
noticed at the time with proper comment b,:t have
been shocked at the spectacle Of party Of ea-
gning together to overthrow all the guards established
ny man in his free state, around the temple Of his
hope, and 10 break down the barriers that protect
females from the assaults OF barharous and incarnaie
devils. We have shu1drred at this dark spectacle
we gazed upon it. and thought Of the rapid and won
derfu change that had overspread The face Of this
country snce the systena,ized introduction Of foreign
.ers by the thousand. We quote the resolution with
undsgused disgust.
:. That all debts be declared to be debts of honor;
thatthe judiciary be reformed, and presidents abolish

and that state convention be held in Utica on
