The September number of the Bentley's Mis-
cellany, the Editor seems to have drawn pretty
fully on his American resources. He gives his
readers, under the head of a Chapter on Gour-
manderie--a chapter complete from the Passages
of Foreign Travel of our countryman Isaac APP
pleton Jewett-without, of course, giving any in
timation of the source from whence it is drawn,
and with the precaution of leaving out two or three
American illusions and reflections which are to
be found in the chapter in Mr.. Jewetts book.
Then he has an article under the head of Uncle
Sans peculiarities, which is so very coarse and
vulgar, that it must have heen obtained from the
cheapest of the Trolop or Fiddler travellers. The
number closes with story called a Night on the
Enchanted Mountains, the scene of which is laid
in Tennessee. The motto is credited to Yam
kee Rhymer, and the whole article bears the
marks of having been quietly transferred from its
place in some newspaper or Annual, on this side
Of the water, to its corner in the Bentley-Boston
Daily Adv.
No man would be SO stupid as to counterfeit
on bad Bank. The Editors were conscious that
it would attach no discredit to them or they would
not only not have drawn SO copiously from such
source, but they would certainly not have been
guilty of plagiarism. What should be thought Of
authors who, while stealing our literary property,
our sentiments, opinions, and expressions, are
guilty of the gross inconsistency of speaking Of
us, as Nation, in an abusive and contemptuous
manner; to say nothing about the estimate tina
should be put upon work whose Editors woult
degrade its pages with trash SO low, SO mean, Sc
vulgar, as that assigned in the courtly language
the Bentley Magazine to Uncle Sam7" We
know the bird by its feathers.

In the Philadelphia Ledger we observe an ad.
dress occupying column and half of matter by
Mr.. Buckingham, M. P, to his fellow-country-
men, headed aduice to British emigrants."
From the singularity of this heading we were in
duced to read it. 1t is addressed to the Eng
lish, Scotch, and Irish, leaving their homes for
America" accompanied with the hope on the
part of the Editor that it may be extensively
read by the emigrants and their friends on both
sides Of the Atlantic It is certainly good
epistle on temperance; and so far as the lessons OF
sobriety are inculcated we sincerely hope his ad.
vice may be followed by all men in all countries.
But, incorporated in this letter, there is evident
ly exhibited lure to emigration, if not cover,
effort to encourage 1t, which calls for, not merely
apprehension, but the strongest condemnation. In
the name Of earth and heaven, are we doomed to

a ehevaiier, than man of science and if militia
ry distinction were desired and deserved, could
not our distinguished countryman have found
a grade intermediate between corporal and a
major general ample for republican ambiton'
There appears to be something in this that savors
strongly Of desire for the fancied dignity of
a foreign title incompatible with our republican
principles and institutions, which deserves animad-
version unqualified. Thus much for the reciPi-
ent Of this nominal honor This translator of
the New Testament into what is called the
Bengares language, reminds us of the celebrated
Psalmanazar Of other times, who duped the Bishop
of London and other creduous alumni, by pre-
tended translation OF the Evangelists into the Ian
guage Of the people of the Island of Formosa,
which the ingenious author, when in after years
his morals became BETTER was constrained to ac-
knowledge as pious fraud and as far as lay in
his power to withdraw from circulation. We do
not apply this to our countryman, but we think
that he who would be pleased with this empty
baube of King, would use any means to pro.
cure it.
If his object were the promotion of literature,
and the elevation of the American name, why did
he not address his labors and his productions to
his own countrymen, or some of their societies or
colleges, instead of seeking the " low ambition
and the pride Of kings!"

AN AMERICAN CHIvALIER.-Mr. w. Is. HOdg-
son, an American, and lately arrived from Peru,
the bearer of the Treaty of that country with
the United States, has received the title or deco
ration of Cheralier of the Legion of Honor, from
Louis Philippe, King Of the French, for certain
learned researches he has made in the Oriental
languages.-Er. paper.
By the amendments to the Federal Constitu-
ton, no citizen of the United States can accept
any pension, present, or title from any foreign
prince, or government, or nation. Then il any
title or emolument be connected with this order
of the Legion of Honor, the recipient must either
deposite it in the Department of State, or cease
to become an American citizen. Still, as testi-
monial of respect for literary merit the confer
ring of this order in the present case is honorable
to both the giver and the receiver.-Pha Ledger
Is not this an order of knighthood-and is not
this title evidently in contravention OF the pro.
vision of the Constitution adduced by the Ledgeri
If then the Constitution be violated by the act
how can it be honorable on the part of Mr.
Hodgson to have received il for literary merit OIL
for any other consideration! This is very unsa

One magistrate in England committed in 1887
no less than $4,000 persons.-N. Y. Star.
The Tories and Hessians coming!-The
Kennebec (Maine) Journal of the 10th, gives the
New Workers this timely warning. Look to it:
Ne'0 Yorkers look oM.-We understand that
large number of Irish and other laborers who
had been imported into this State to carry our
election, have since the election, gone to New
Y York to assist in the election in that State. The
forces which were sent into this State from New
Hampshire and the British provinces, will mostly
be sent to New York before November. Those
of Illinois have already gone to Michigan.-ib.
The first item from the New York Evening
Star above, is only instance out of the aggre-
gate number of statistical facts showing the quail
ity of that population which we derive from
abroad, and which infests our otherwise happy
country; bearing about the same proportion to the
multitude of such cases, that drop does to the
ocean. If one magistrate committed in ono year
$4,000 persons, what amount would our readers
suppose were committed by the magistrates OF
England, Ireland, and Scotland, collectively! AS
we cannot imagine prison room and sustenance
diC CStCCiiCu HidLtcES, we tHcTelOTe must
consider the crimes or defalcatons for which this
army Of prisoners were committed as important
in an equal degree. If, as far as these commit
ments followed crimes, we suppose due proper
ton of the guilty escaped detection, what addition
should be made to this number! So much for the
united kingdom. How much better is the provin-
cial popuation'-what are the tidings from Ca
NADIA! Why, that bodies of men were sent from
there to traverse the contiguous States in view Of
the periods of consecutive elections, to disturb the
peace, insult the dignity, mar the morals, attack
the institutions, and mock the sacred rights of the
people of the United States! Are these express
sions rash or raving! No. They flow from the
deepest conviction, and from cool, deliberate re-

use orabuse these degraded foreigners, is degraded

lis it sol above all, does the public press of thi:

We publish in this number the meeting Of the
Native American Association at Brooklyn, which
we copy from the National Banner. We must
express our regret that our friends in Brooklyn
should designate their Association by the party
appellation Of " "Dem0crafs"--not because we are
opposed to the principles which originated that
political party, but because we think all party
distinctions ought to be merged in that of the one
great party Of Native americans, that we offend
not the feelings prejudices of any, but concli-
ate all: course which we think dictated alike by
prudence and policy, while every one is left to
cherish his own peculiar opinions on matters Of
minor importance. We are all aiming at the same
things and endeavorng to attain the same great
objects by purifying our Government and our
country from foreign control and influence. We
therefore would earnestly and respectfully sug-
gest to our friends Of Brooklyn and every other
place, to drop that distinction and let us take the
broad position which we can all occupy in COM
mon without conflict; and on which we can stand
cemented by one common bond Of union, ever
bearing in mind the maxim of the Father of our
country, 'united we stand, divided we fall''
We are, however, gratifed that the " Demo-
Gratis" have come to the aid Of the Natives, as it
at nails to the counter that base counterfeit
charge of false patriots, that we were "Whig''
party; while it must be obvious to all, not will
fully blind, that both Whigs and Democrats en-
list under our banner. Wings may unite with
us in one place, and Democrats in another, and
from whatever party they come, if they fall into
our ranks on principle. we hail them as brothers.
