EMIGRANTS.

The following extract, from the New York cor
Of the " National Intelligencer," shows
that the Scythan hordes are pouring in upon US
from the Northern Hive. Formerly it was APP
pretended that the multitude of one class from Ire
land would raise such distinct body of foreigners
that the rest Of the country would be employed IN
nnttng down the evils of their doings. Now,
however, the poor Melesans are likely to be
thrown in the shade by the host of their ancient
enemies, who come to outnumber them, as well
as us. We say their ancient enemles-because
those who know any thing of the history of Ire
land, will remember that the most cruel as well
as prosecuting, enemies Of that people during their
war for their religion and rights, were the Dutch
who invaded Ireland, with the Prince Of Orange,
in the times of James H. and not only devastated
their towns and provinces, but in cold blood butch
cred the inhabitants wherever they could be found
The tradition Of this cruelty has been treasured
in The burning bosoms Of the Irish, with more
tru,hfulness than in the pages OF written history
and we cannot but believe that the day will come
when the ayenger Of blood will make this now

MARRYATT, HIS BOOK. AND THE METRO
POLLS,

An article has appeared in City paper, within
the present week, conceived in a more patriotic
spirit than usually characerzes the editorials of
that print, and which, it affords us qualification to
observe-a qualification which would have been
increased had the writer gone still farther in re-
proving his countrymen for their slayish adula-
ton Of foreigners. We are not content that the
.Aristocracu alone shall be blamed for what we
consider national propensity. The reproach
attaches to no particular class or party. If we
show unmerited courtesy to educated foreigners
who come among US, only to write abusive books
about us, there is another class of foreigners, who
can neither read nor write books, good or bad,
which, Heaven knows, comes in for full share
of our affections. If the one receives undue hon
ors from the Arstocracy, the other is by no means
without its worshippers. We should receive,
with contempt and adherence, all that comes TO
us marked with the levity of foreign manners, or
the impurity of foreign morals.
AS counrymen, or as individuals, we can only
hope for prosperity and security, by being true
to ourselues.
Although not very refined in its mood, the tone
of the article in question: nevertheless, encourages
US to believe that there is in the heart Of every
American Of education, and reputable character,
however he may occasionally be swayed by
morbid sympathy for the suferings of oppressed
humanity latent spark of National feeling
which circumstances may kindle into flame.
The better genius of the :" Metropolis" seems,
for once, to have descended upon its columns.
Nav its visits be neither few, nor far between.

happy land the theatre where the scenes Of retri-
button are to be enacted.
The human mind is constantly agitated by the
remote impulses of past times; and whenever
great events happen, they are the regular sequen-
(ces of long period of preparation, the sparks of
blows given i'll past ages, whose scintellations
have just reached us in the great distance. Thus
it is with Revolutions, which, however sudden to
the eye Of common observation, are, nevertheless,
the inevitable results of regular confederation,
founded, as regards human judgment, in proper
cause. Seeing this, and that our people and
hemisphere, for any thing that concerns US, are
free from the elements of such ends il is wise to
keep ourselves clear of the materials and motives
that lead to them, and thus avoid buckling on our
backs the mislortunes Of others. 1t is for this, as
well as for other reasons, that we wish to preserve
the distincliveness that exists between Americans
and foreigners and if that desire is not accom-
plished, the people of this country will see, ere
many years, that the tragedies that ought to have
been worked out from their elements in other
other lands, will, with the emigrants be translat-
ed, by our own folly and weakness, to our own
doors.
"The emigrants are throngng here. Our
streets abound with strange faces, and strange cos
tunes. The Rhenish musicians attract good
deal of attention. What country this! unused
with myself as bareheaded platoon of ron-s-
ded women and field-bronzed men passed by my
encampment in nook of this strange Gotham
Here, there are the refugees of the Old World
whom we are to metamorphose into American
citizens, and whom, or whose children, we may
send back Ministers Penipotentiary TO the
Sovereigns who now would hardly deign to ad-
nit them their presence. The appointment Of
Mr.. Blocker to Holland, who speaks Dutch, and
whose ancestors came from Holland, and of Mr..
Muhlenberg to Vienna, who speaks German, and
whose ancestors came from Germany, are illus
tratons of the truth of this thought. In this gate
way Of the New World, where the Old is rush
ing in-the Swiss from his lpine declvty, the
Irishman from his rejected boys, the Scilian from
his macaroone and his grapes, the Swede from
his lands of pine, the Prussian from the historic
battlements of the Rhine, the German from his
soldier-trodden plains-one cannot but muse upon
the mingling destiny of nations amalgamating
under Saxon auspices, and forming Republic
of selEgoverning People in many Sates.''

DISCUSSION ABOUT THE REPEAL OF THE
LAWS OF NATURALIZATION.

y We see by the New Orleans " Native Amer-
can" that discussion, by the invitation oil that
naner. has been commenced between " Pontiac
on the American, and by I" Seneca" on the side
Of the foreigners. The arguments are temperate
and well conducted, with the exception OF lew
uncourteous terms,-bestowed upon names, 1t is
,rue,-which will suffer no obloquy from the as
sault, but which weaken respect for the writer.
Thus for instance, Seneca asks, What is
the development Of Judge Blackstone's principles
Of international law, more than what q every
ROYAL idiot had already assumed!" This same
learned iurist," says Seneca, would as grave
" hail Mr.. George Guelph" (meaning George
III. San imported sprig of German Royalty
"as his Majesty, King of France" Blackstone
was but the creature of sycophancy' We have
ourselves no complaint to make that the champion
of1forepners, should deal as coarsely as suits ms
nature with his own people, but we should Ger
tainly respect his productions MORE II ne woul'
allow the names of venerated men to rest under
the conservation of their virtues and talents In
stead Of arraying them in abusive forms ''
strengthen sophism. The question: whelhe
the laws Of Naturalization ought or ought not t
be repealed, does not depend upon the doctrine
or opinions Of any set of men upon abstract prn

FEMALE OCCUPATION.

There is spirit abroad, in reference to sub
jec Of deep interest to every phiIanthropist, which
has recently given expression TO some very bene-
VIOLENT and sensible views, from several quarters
We mean the employment Of Females There is
something in the course of thought and feeling OF
an American female, probably attributable 10 the
more general dissemination Of knowledge among
all classes of the SEX in country that prevents
them from applying themselves with facility to the
laborious and unin,elleotual occupations Of those
Of other countries. This popularity is observable
not only in the upper and middle, but, where vir-
tuously instructed, in the very poorest classes.
The employment usually assigned to our needy
almost invariably inadequate to their comfortable
support. That the employments properly adapt
ed to the physical capacities of females, are nearly
monopolized by our own sex, and that hardy men
are too often seen discharging efiemnate duties,
is undeniable, and is an error much to be deplor-
ed, and calling loudly for correction. The en-
ployment Of females should not only be such as
will better requite their industry, but should be
appropriate to their delicate physical construction,
and sedentary habits, and should assimilate more
with their peculiar taste. The project of instruct
ing females, apprentices, to the use Of the Burn
or Graver, emanatng we believe, from some phan-
thropic institution Europe, met our eye some time
since-a project which pleased us with its novel
ty, and the feasibility Of which has since been
fully demonstrated. H.
There is lady of our community, who, in the
mere employment of elegant LEISURE" (for, I'M
like those whose cause we are pleading, her lot
has fallen in pleasant places, has produced some
specimens Of the graphic art, which would do no
discredt to we'll practced lord Of the creation"
In the achievements of the pencil, too, there is
another, who, hough absent in distant city, we
are proud to testify, has arrived at equal excel :
Ience, and whose continued endeavors, we trust,
will secure her an enduring fame, and golden
reward.
With these facts existing around us, it is not
too much TO hope, that the subject will continue
to interest all those who have the well-being of
the defenceless and needy Of the gentler sex at
heart until some mode shall be adopted for reduc-
ing these crude suggestions to the form Of a settled
system
The native American. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1840, 1839-09-21

ciplcs in Europe. 1t is a matter which is 10 be
argued almost exclusively from the consequences
which immigration, sanctioned by these laws,
have produced among US. Ii is, indeed, sort OF
analysis of cur condition as people, with the
view of ascertaining--frst, whether the crude po-
pulation of Europe has not brought with il great
|er proportion Of vice. poverty, crime, and disor-
ganizaton, than would have resulted from the or
binary progress of our own people?
And, secondly, whether the admixture of those
strange and discordant materials from other lands
among our Native population, does not tend to
impair, if not altogether pervert, the formation of
a National character.
Inasmuch as it is held TO be an axiom, that any
cause which increases crime, is public evil, and
any impeachment to National character, is draw
back upon its strength, we conceive that without
going into the minutie of all the actual disadvan
tages of foreign population, on the one side, or
the pretended advantages on the other, it will
be sufficient if the parties combattant in this I'M
dertaking shall show, according the side he has
taken, the negative affirmative of these points
We do not ourselves intend to dictate to either
of these writers, as to the course their thoughts
shall take, but we hope we shall be pardoned in
saying, we believe the majority of their readers on
both sides will understand them better, and be
more satisfied with their conclusions either way,
if they will give illustrations of their views, by
reference to the sayings Of our own patriots and
statesmen, either of the Revolution or the present
day, instead Of sending US to the musty tones of
Bynkershoeck, Grotius, or Buramequi.
In conclusion, however, we must say, that on
the whole, the communications of :" Pontiac and
"Seneca," are creditable to the writer's. The
first shows scholarship, courtesy, zeal and talent;
the latter, zeal, ambition, industry and talent,
and, what is of, great qualification to US,
lurking admission that, although he has espoused
the cause Of the foreigners, he thinks as little Of
their pretensions as we do, else he would not
have sneeringly said, in reference. to the Swiss,
that "to come over and teach our stupid fathers
of re, some of the doctrines of Burlamaque,
should certainly deserve our gratitude
Pontiac's' preliminary essays have been we'll
received, and we venture to say that " Seneca"
ere he closes the contest, will have to confess that
although he may have labored ably "to make the
worse appear the better argument" he has widely
failed in his efforts. Perhaps the result may be
consolation, for though mans pride may in
duce him to wish his intellect all powerful, still
his heart will triumph in the triumph of its own
virtue, and none can be greater than that which
ends in the welfare Of the country
