check, the Queen Of England, hoping that her
name will be but ominous of her measures, has
ordered her fleet from the Mediterranean to cruise
along our coast, and her recruiting seargents are
at work in Limmerick trying to infuse spirit
of Loyalty into the hearts of the 'sIrish Boys"
through the golden rule of guinea head. The
cause of all this commotion is the Presidents
Message with regard to the long disputed boun-
dary line between the United States and the Pro
vinces of Canada. The Queens Ministers have
and forthwith we are bullied with the sweeping
navy from the Mediterranean, and Irish regi-
ments from Limmerick.
The boundary line is imaginary one; and
these troops of foreigners are faithful to their
youthful Queen on one side--on one day, ready
another day they would be willing to take the
oath to hate their beloved Victoria and bow a
willing heart to the laws and Government Of the
United States.
Suppose, asd it is not unlikely, that five thou
sand of these "Limmerick BOYS" are enlisted to
fight for England, and that on their arrival in
this country, they hear that all the difficulties
have been settled by Mr.. Fox, the British Minis
ister here, and Mr.. Forsyth, of our State Ee-
partment. They come to a 'ground-arms;' and
the Queen, anxious to rid herself of them, re-
leases them from their time of service. The day
ON which these paid-for foes to our country are
disbanded by the British Queen, an emissary
of our War Department goes to them with Mr..
Aliens resolution in his hand, and tells them that
if they will re-shoulder their muskets, and fight
for six weeks in the army of the United States
against the ghost of poor Osceoa, that at the ex-
piraton Of that time, they will be baptised in the
fountain Of liberty, and to them be impaired the
high privilege of deciding upon the interests of
that very Government they had once sworn to
injure.
God grant that they may not accomplish
their original purpose. We think the case we
have stated, so strong one against the whole
principle of encouraging the nroads of foreigners,
hat we will leave it to the reflection of every
man Of common sense.

As a matter of curiosity, we republish from the
National Intelligencer the two following notices
of anniversary celebrations.
The reader will be struck with the plain and

Ipiring style of the latter.
The Germans say, that Washington "o6ereF

rican celebration, some of these worshipers OF
their old whipper. Not one of those we met,
we venture to say, could UTTER in the English
tongue, "God save great Washington
To prove that General Washington was op-
posed to foreigners, we will hastily refer to some
of his emphatically expressed sentiments on
that very subject.
In one place he says:
"History and experience prove that Foreign influence
Including the Hessan in PARTICULAR sis of the most
baneful foes Of Republican Government"
Again, writing to Mr.. Morris in l77s, upon
the subject of appointing foreigners to office, he
wisely remarks:
.The design of this is to touch cursory upon sub
ect Of great importance TO the well being Of these States
and more than will appear at first view-I mean Me
appointment Of so many FOREIGNERS TO Offices Of high
rank and trust IN our service.'
Again:

pery, and, in behafof many many add, military merit
will not submit much, if any longer to the unnatural
promotion Of men them who have nothing than
little plansibiy, unbounded pride and ambition, and a
perseverance in application, not 10 be resisted but by
common frmness to support their pretensions."
In the same letter he continues:
"There is an evil, most extensive in its nature and
fatal in its consequences 10 be apprehended and that is
the driving of all your officers out Of the service,
and throwing not only yonr army but your military
ellis entirely into the hands of foreigners
All this is the language of Washington, and
we recommend it to the perusal of the German
card-writer ere he again attempts to puff foreign
devotion to George Washington.
The following are the cards we alluded to.
The latter cannot be read without smile:

Destructive FIRE-BowERY THEATRE BURNT.
About 2 O'Clock last Sabbath morning, fire
was discovered bursting from the roof of the Ame-
rican Theatre, Bowery. The fremen were prompt
in attendance, but this extensive building, with
the exception of the front and side walls, and all its
scenery, dresses, and furniture, in the short space
of one hour, heap Of ruins. The fire COM
mnnicated to the adjoining brick building, No. so
Bowery, occupied by Bradford Jones, the greater
part of which was destroyed as were also the
roofs and back buildings Of the houses, Nos. So,
56, and So, Bowery. The damage done these
buildings was about $4,000, on which there was
insurance. We understand that there was ins,l-
rance on the Theatre Of 900, in ten offices in
this city and two in Philadelphia, which will
cover about half the loss. The wind at the time
Of the fire southwest to west, and large pieces
of burning rafers were blown as far as Chrystie
street, in which livery stable in the rear of No.

destroyed, and colored man named Joseph, was
burned to death. This is the third time. within
about ten years, that this Theatre has been de-

J. j. Graves & J. NJ. Smiley, Editors.

Notwithstanding the unparalleled pres.
sure, which for the last twelve months, has
crampcd and trammelled every depart.
ment of the Mechanical, Agricultural and
Commercial community, the unwearied
and indefatigable energies of American
enterprise, are once more giving evidence
Of a higher and fairer prospect before US.
That quiescent attribute, which, for time,
seemed to mark and designate our down.
ward proclivity to carelessness and indf
ference, has fortunately awakened from
its sluggish apathy; and partially disin.
thralled from the fatal influence of a TOO
blind creduity in the infallibility Of
those whom we have elevated above US,
may we not still indulge the hope, that
there is yet held in reserve, a happy re-
suit in the experiment of this last and
once Purest Of Republics?
lnstlgated, in part, by that grand revolt
utlon which has already commenced, and
which is still going on in the opinion Of
the people, so far as respects the political
relations existing between the respective
States and the Federal Government, the
present Proprietor is about to embark in
the publication of the Liberty Advocate.
Two years ago, this Journal dated its
origin, at period when, in this County,
IT had many difficulties to encounter, and
the strongest opposition to contend with
The enduring, and, as we conceive, ortho
dox principles, which have nurtured and
sustained the journal through ''good and
through evil report" had then in their in.
fancy, butt mere minority which sustained
1t. But, the resistless march OF human
reason, before whose advance all obsta'
Giles must ultimately recede, has brought
about brighter and a fairer dawn; and
the Philanthropist and the patriot can
now look in prospective upon the re-
visit of those purer days, which once
pointed to the destiny Of our much DO
loved country.
The political creed ofthe Advocate will
be the same which it has heretofore adj
vocated. State Rights and State Soucr'
eighty, will be the arterial action which
shall give life and animation to its polltI
,al character. But, while exercising te''
lacity for those principles which will new
n yield to caprice, the columns ofthls Jour,
lal will, at all times, be open to liberal
discussion, and offered as ready channel
o the tide Of passing events, and an 40
eptable organ of general science and use
ul knowledge. -
We cordially invite the patronage OF all
hose who concur with us in sentiment, as
veil as the magnanimity ofthose who dis
ent from US in politics, to cooperate in sus'
aiming the press. The Advocate vii IN
