This paper was established here, about ten months
ago, with the view of promoting the best interests of the
country by establishing national character, and of pre-
venting the alarming Of immigrants who are inces-
sanity landing shores from participating in the
management of Government and to stop this threat
ening current from farther pressing upon US. Also, to
cut off all who do not possess the legal right from

summatlng which has been constantly urged, and, we
trust to the satisfaction of all coanrynen, far

CHARGE OF sELFisHNEss REFuTED.

We often accused Of sefshness in wishing 10 ex-
clude foreigners from the enjoyment Of all the privileges
of citizenship, and esteem just selfish TO refrain
from distributing among them our property. Self pres
ervaon is the first law of nature and paramount to all
civil enactments. The destruction Of the life Of fellow
being is divested Of crimnaly when it is absolutely
necessary 10 own and the who, under such
circumstances sabs to the heart brother, is held
perfectly Justifabe in all civilized communities. Ii

munies Of citizenship when such is absolute

blessings which, while they obtained for us at the
cost of life, we justly prize still dearer than life The
charge preposterous. Continue TO extend to the
crowds Of foreigners that constantly rushing
into already injured country the rights Of citizenship
and in short tne through their increasing numbers and
demorazing influence, shall be deprived of all con-
troll over our own Government and become the mpotent
subjects Of foreign ignorance, cupdty disorder and mis-
rule. We dare not trust our property lives, much
less our liberties to the mercy and direction Of those who
have no kindred feelings with US, and who, like the
adder, when warmed into life by Kindness will un-
giatnfully pierce with its deadly stisg.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT.


On Thursday last document No. $40 of the House

and Consuls and Others the subject Of paupers
and conyicts introduced among US.
To this document is appended two extracts from an
Irish ncospaper entitled the Truth Teller published il

authorities Of New York the other for their endeavor
to enforce the municipal regulations against that evil

have with the words Of the resolution of Congress, in
obedience to which the correspondence is communicated
with the subject to which it REFERS how they
interpolaed with the letters at loss properly to
understand. We think, however, that they must have
been appended to the other papers surreptitiousy by
foreigner in the service Of of the Departments
for party effect and TO indulge alien feeling and
desire to spread defence before the people at the
pense Of Congress and under the apparent sanction OF
public authority.
We look upon this insult to Representatives;
and trust they will inquire into the motive that actu
ated it.
This important document, having come 10 hand too
late to be introduced into paper Of this week. will be
published entire in next and call the attention OF
our counrymen to it in advance.

the Gospel, and in that capacity had duties to
attend to, which he considered of more impor-
