Constantine republican. [volume] (Constantine, Mich.) 1836-1838, 1837-07-19

The Wings at their old tricks again.-The
Wing papers of New York City closely watch ev-
cry vessel that arrives from any foreign port, and
If they show by their shipping bills two or three
hundred passengers, they make out two thirds Of
them Foreign Paupers; when at the same time,
these paupers as they choose TO term them have
many Of them money enough to buy up cart
load of just such fellows as those Wing editors in
New York, who take such particular pains to
herald every man that arrives in tho city, whe-
Their to stay or to pass through, who happens to
have ON any thing but dandy breaches and ruff
fed shirts, as foreign plupcrs.
Tho fact is they ure trying again, as they did
some two or three years ago, to create an excite
mcnt in tho minds Of the American born against
foreigners for political effect, but it will never Co.
The people of this country know very well that
the time was when there were none out foreign.
ers hcro-thoy know also that our forefathers
were most OF them foreigners who fought the
battles Of oar country and established Free
/ Republican Government, of which every Ameri-
can ought to be proud to boast.
Thes, foreigners, so freely denounced by the
Wing press of Now.York city, as uagrants and
paupers, ara very many of them FARMERs-the
best portion of the English population, who are
induced to change their own for a more Demo-
cratic and Republican Government. Many OF
this class have settled in this vicinity, and are
constantly settling in upon our vacant lands
through tho western country. The great secret
of tho matter u.s. that these foreigners get tired OF
cristocracy before they leave their mother coun-
try, and consequently when they get Nfe, and as
soon as tho Constitution of the United States al
lows them to vote, they generally go with the
Democratic party and are bitterly opposed to the
measures of the Wing aristocracy.
We extract tho following article from the New
York Commercial Advertiser on that subject
Messrs. Editors-In such time of eX-
citemen. in regard to emgrants arriving al
this port, should take it kind if you will
publish the following fact, it being, ! believe
a very great contrast to most Of the present
arrivals at Now-York. In your paper o.
Thursday you gave in your list of arrivals
the British ship Arkwright, Aberdeen
(Scotland) with Is cabin and l46 steerage
passengers. At present the papers of tins
city class all such arrivals as foreign pau
pers, coming to fill the poor houses OF New
York. Now, sir, can, from the best au
thority, inform you that of the above l64
passengers, there are not ten of the number
now remaining in New York-the greater
proportion of them being farmers; 66"were
destined for one township in Ohio, nearly
forty for Upper Canada, part for tine int.
rior of this state, and part for the far west
The few who remain in New York are faI
from being paupers, but people in moderate
circumstances. A great proportion Of
those who have gone to the country have
done so with view Of purchasing land, and
having among them a capital from ten to
twelve thousand pounds sterling. Before
leaving the ship they presented Capt. Der.
ME, genuine son Of Neptune, and man
of sterling worth, with a splendid case o.
mathematical instruments, made by Fry d
Shaw, Water street, as small token ol
their gratitude for his kindness and atten.
ton during the voyage. For the corrobo.
ration of the above, refer you to the con.
signees, Wood. Johnson q Burrit,) DR..
Rockwell, and the officers Of the customs
New.York. AN ABERDONIAN.
1t is stated that in one vessel, at least 3d.
900 dollars were brought by the cabin pas
sengers alone.
