continue to invite to their shores these villains
who regard murder and destruction no more tha
they do the political rights of this country.
| Since the election has passed away, every thin!
seems perfectly still, and the press in Baltimore
together with its satellites, the local politicians
are as silent as the grave. Not word of anger
against the foreigner, but gently softly, and sooth
mglyy, they are dropping into their old course Of
cajoing, and begging these people to vote with
toned to us by gentleman from that city, of a
certain party, that paper had hurths side very
much in the canvass-that our opinions and doc
trlnes were quoted against his party, and held up
to the foreign population as scare-crow. We
were not exactly desired to keep quiet in this mat
ter, but it was broadly limited thatt Native Ame-
rican Party would eventually crush all hope in flu
ture, of ever making the foreign vote instrument
tai in obtaining power.
One very important branch of this subject pre-
sents itself to our consideration and we wish sin
cerely that party editors would for a moment give
their attention to it, and cease to be poor partzans
for breathing space of time.
The account of that Baltimore election will be
read in Europe-read from the local and other pa
pers, and what will be the conclusions drawn by
foreign minds in Europe, of the permanency and
purity of our form of government. They will see
at once, judging from the cowardly and recreant
accounts afforded by the Baltimore papers, that
natives will not permit natives to vote, unless they
secure that right in blood. They will ask, what
is that government worth that cannot guard its
smallest immunity from outrage? The National
character will be abused and tarnished if these i'm
pressions be not removed; if these people are not
told. boldly and without fear, that it is their own
vile outcasts who bring disgrace and disorder upon
our popular means of government. 1t is SLAM
der upon the national character to suppress the
truth. But the poor and mercenary politician must
rule and drect-his wink and nod must be taken,
and willing editors, to save a subscriber, will
readily give up the proud prerogative of truth,
for considerations that disgrace the man while
they may increase his purse.
The Irish and the Dutch, and other foreigners,
created the riot in Baltimore, and the fact can be
established by testimony. We call upon the Bal
timore papers to tell the truth, II they dare!

THE artificial basins.

Hoao 1t IS lManaged.-On Monday, September
81, several carriages from Newark and one or two
from Patterson loaded with men evidently foreign
ers, drove up to the Van Buren, House in New
ark. AS the court Of Common Pleas was then in
session, it was supposed that the object of these
men was to apply to the Court to be admitted to
citizenship. None of them, however, appear
ed in open Court, but the Clerk of the
Court, Samuel IL. Berry, in defiance OF law
privately and unknown to the Court, at the Van
Buren, House aforesaid, admitted them to citizen
ship. The Court having inquired into the matter
at the close OF the term made the following order
and directed the clerk TO enter the same on the
minutes of the Court

We published in our last an account of the
late elections in Baltimore city. 1t was evident
from the statement casually made in one of the
Baltimore papers, that the aliens were the orgna-
tors of the vile outrage upon our laws. They
found that they could not vote, owing to the vigi-
lance of the Judges, and they determined to deprive
the Americans Of that political privilege. rio'

ing the blessings of freedom with the rights an
privileges which the American people, of all tn
nations upon the globe, alone enjoy, so trifinl
and inconsiderable, as toustify us in this cupabl
indifference to the proper and necessary measures
to secure these blessings to ourselves and to pos
terty? If we have lost all sense of the solemn
obligation under which this dear-bought inheri
tance has laid us-if we are determined to ac
regardless of the claims of patriotism and of what
is due to posterIty-f in the partisan scramble
for office, personal profit and aggrandizement, we
act upon the maxim that 'sWc are men of princi-
pie according to oar INTEREST," then may we ex-
pect and shall assuredly suffer the fate of an an
cient Republic, which was openly set up to the
highest bidder; and if this be the design, it is GER
tainly expedient to scramble hard for the loaves
and fishes as these must decide who shall be the
successful bidder.
To enlist armies of mercenary foreigners, and
put arms in their hands, is laying the foundation
of our overthrow-it is yielding our most invalu-
able rights-it is in contravention Of the most
impcrious duty-t is literally giving up our coun-
try.
The descrters are Irish, English and Scotch.
We commend them for refusing to fight against
their countrymen; and as to the dishonor of having
enlisted, received the bounty, and then deserving,
we expected nothing better from them. 1t was
right to deraud us of the bounty, to punish us for
our credulity and confidence. 1t was ri ght for
them to desert, because it would have been unna-
tural to have stad 1t is our own authorities we
condemn for their folly and recklessness, in thus
imposing upon and disgracng the United States
by giving counenance to foreigners, as officers or
soldiers, in her armies; practice which all eX-
Perience and common sense condemn.
The Commercial Advertiser says: ''Durng a
time of peace desertions will take place from all
armies. The soldiers life is life of inactivity,
and many who would make good soldiers in war,
desert because they like change"
How many native Americans can the Adver-
tiser point to or name as deserers from their own
ture to say. But if this desertion was simply be-
cause they were inactive, why did they all 60
over to the Britis:l-why did they not go in any
other direction? Was Canada the most desira-
bic place? or did they wish to take sides in the
Canada contest, to find field for their patriotism?
Stuff! We would have expected better logic
from the Commercial Advertiser and more pa
triotism from those who profess to be patriots.

"Deserters are crossing to Cornwall from the
American troops stationed at Fort Covington,
every day. Four crossed last night before.
Twelve in one body landed below Gray's Greek
on Tuesday last. They wear the Yankee uni
form, and are composed of Irish, English and
Scotch The few remaining at that place are or
dered to the interior.-Corn'caN Observer.'
"Durng a time of peace desertions will take
place from all armies. The soldiers life is then
life of inactivity, and many who would make
rood soldiers in war desert because they like a
change. A few days ago two privates came into
Montreal, in full uniform, having deserted from
the lines, somewhere in the neighborhood OF
Rouse's Point; and few weeks ago we saw at
Chatham, on the Thames, two deserters from the
u. S. Army. They offered to enlist in the
British Army, but the commanding officer at that
post would not receive them.
Deserton is very frequent from the British re-
giments in Canada, also. Great pains have been
taken to prevent it, by statonng only married
men near the lines; but the soldiers will go of
Notwithstanding 7. Com. .4du."
The above article from the Cornwall Observer
and the comment Of the N. Y. Commercial
Advertiser we introduce into our columns not
only to exhibit the facts, but to offer few ap-
propriate remarks which these facts suggest and
call for
The desertion of soldiers from the American
ranks under any circumstances would be consi-
dered generally as strange occurrence. But
when it is known that these deserters were for
eigners who have left the American army and
gone over to the British army-the army oi
their counrymen, with whom there was chance
of coming in conflict, the surprise ceases, as in
that event they would be compelled to unsheathe
their swords in deadly combat against their friends
brothers., fathers, and their own cuntry.
This is perfect verifcation Of the argumen
we have so often endeavored to impress on the
minds of our people, that it is the most egregous
folly to expect to make patriot soldiers out o
alien subiects-subjects in the true sense of the
term of other nations, bound by the oath of al
legiance, and held to service at the command o
the monarch whose subjects there are.
Can it be possible, after such ample proof o
the indiscretion of this practice-with numerous
facts like the above staring us in the face-tha
our Government should not only permit Tor
eigners to be enlisted in the military service o
the country, but that, as we have lately seen
orders should have been issued for the raising
regiments of foreigners ,indiscrimnately to tigh
our battles !? who that is possessed OF common
discernment cannot see what fatal consequences
might result from such unwise and reprehensbl'
conduct! Is our country and her institutions o
