which alone. it was thought, could have given the
wound, was bent or curved over somewhat Now
if it was bent by the bone it was before the lat
ter was broken; and if bent at all before it broke
through the bone, il would have continued to
yield, without breaking through-for the more it
bent the less resistance it could make to the OPP
posing force. But the negro is dead from this
wound, and public opinion seems to be not salts
fled as to how it took place.
In this state Of doubt, it is the province of the
grand inquest of the county to investigate the
matter fully, SO that death at our very thresholds
should not, as TO its cause, remain mystery.

Mr.. EDITOR: take the liberty, through your
paper, to call the attention of our City Authori-
ties Gf it has not been done already through the
medium of some other paper, to tile dangerous
condition of Fourteenth Street Bridge. CHANGING
to pass over the same day or two ago, my at
tention was suddenly riveted by the WORKOUT APP
pearance Of the Bridge here being no less than
three openings or holes, sufficient to admit small
boy through with ease, and am sure of sufi-
cient largeness to be the means of breaking the
legs or otherwise doing injury to the unguarded
horse, or any other animal that might be SO un-
lucky as to be caught in that dreadful snare. l
give this notice more particularly for the benefit
of those who have CORRESPONDING, that if a
horse unlike a many gets a leg broken. he is of
but little value afterwards. JUSTICE.

Wehave been forcibly reminded Of the grounds
taken originally, in the formation Of the associa-
tion-that emigration would increase progressive
ly--by seeing, in several papers, notices Of the
number Of emigrants already preparing in Europe
TO come over in the course of the summer
These notices far surpass any thing Of the kind
which has ever occurred before, and we may
Justly dread the fulflment of our worst appre-
tensions. We do not pretend to know any thing
Of the truth of the statements, but already nearly
400, 900 emigrants are announced as having de-
parted, or as having made preparations to depart.
Is this country prepared for their reception as CT
.izens? Shall we act in the matter now, or wait
till their numerical strength is greater than ours?
They increase faster than we do. Some of them
are on the side of the native, but thousands Of
the native are on their side. Shall we remain
idle and wait till they get sufficient power to pass
general naturalization law' or is it more pru-
dent to act while we have the power!

Mr.. Editor: The third article of the Constitu-
ton OF the Native American Association says
"We will not hold him guildess of his country's
wrong who, having the power, shall place TO
reigner in Office, while there is competent ma
tive willing to accept" would 90 farther still,
Sir than what the above article calls for, and hold
him who would give the preference to foreigner,
to the exclusion of his own countrymen, traitor.
The appointment of foreigners and their sons
to Office, to the exclusion Of Americans, has be-
come almost an every-day's occurrence. In one
of your late numbers, you mentioned the appoint
ment of two Irshmen to lieutenancies in the ma
rine corps, when there were upwards Of hum
dred native applicants. This was outrageous, but
only remarkable for its enormity; for many other
appointments might have been added, but parti-
cularly the appointment of post masters deputies,
agents, Tor whatever they are Called upan the
southern mail line from this city, to the exclusion
of numerous native applications. 1t is to be la
mented that those in power should be 50 lost to
the interests of their country, and to their own
may rest assured that, although Americans may
bear with them for while, they cannot much
longer stand such repeated insults and outrages
upon their feelings and understanding may, their
rights. Not long since, and we were on the eve
of war with the nation of whose subjects those
appointments kaxe been made. In that event,
what an enviabie situation would we not have
been placed in--our departments filled with TO
reigners, and our troops commanded by Irish
men! These are startling facts, and it is high
time that the voice Of every American should be
raised in condemnation of those who abuse the
power thus placed in their hands; it is time to
crush, at once, such inraods upon our rights, and
stamp with shame and infamy that man who is
SO lost to the dignity and honor Of his country as
to prefer crnging, sycophantic foreigner to one
of his own counrymen. History can allot him
no other title in its annals than that of traitor.
N. B. Since writing the above, I learn that
one of the above agents has been removed, the
other suspended, upon charges of intemperance
being brought by the captain of the boat.

CoRONER,S INQUEST.

An event took place, lately, from which it was
currently reported that negro man, the slave OF
the public gardener, was killed. A jury Of in
quest was summoned, who rendered the follow
ing verdict:
:. That the deceased came to his death by a
deep wound on his head; but how the said wound
was caused or inflicted, the testimony is not suf-
fcient to enable the jury to form satisfactory
Judgment
What the facts are, we have no means OF know
ing-but here was a negro slrve lying dead, with
his skull broken in, in the cook-room OF a per-
SON who had very lately become his master
the wound inflicted through the hat,-and that
in public house, in the midst of numerous per-
sons, white and black, where intercourse was in
cessant and in broad daylight. The jury, an IN
telligent body could come to no satisfactory con-
clusion from the evidence adduced; but the man,
though he fingered in comatose state till next
day, was evidently killed by the wound upon his
skull-and public sentiment is left to conjecture
as to the probable cause Of his death. 1t is said
il was attempted to be made appear to the jury
that the negro must have come to his death by
falling on an oven-door, of sheet iron, that was
leaning up against the brick wall of the fireplace.
This, however, is improbable, for varions rea-
sons: lst. The wound was inflicted just above
the arch of the forehead, and the skull could not
come into contact with the iron plate sufficiently
at right angles in relation to each other to admit
Of the one penetrating the other, but the plate
would have glanced upward towards the crown Of
,he head, if indeed, The force from simply falling
on such plate, though it struck perpendicular to
the BONE could have fractured it, this is rendered
very improbable, from the negro's being drunk
m il said TO have been his condition, from the
known fact that drunken persons are SO flexible
a seldom 70 receive much injury from the great
est falls Moreover, il is believed that the lror
plate was not stubborn enough to resist the skuii
bone at the point where the fracture occurred
There was no blood on the plate, and the corne

In'the execution of the project which we have
already stated, we have presented the great prin-
ciple that all power, Legislative, judicial, and ex-
scuve, belongs to, and resides in, the native CT
tizen, except so far as the native has conceded a
participation in the exercise of such powers to the
naturalized citizen. In the course of what we
have said, we have necessarily adverted to some
of the reasons why such concessions should al
ways be made with great caution. Our Associ-
alton is avowedly formed to procure repeal Of
the laws of naturalization. This is the great OBJ
ject. All things else are but auxiliaries to this
end. We have not, as we think, embarked in
this cause unadvisedly. We have seen many of
the evil results of them in our own day, and we
think we foresee many Of intellectually greater
importance in preparation for the future. We
know Of no means by which they can be effec-
tually ayerted SO long as the present system of
naturalization is kept in operation. They may
be mitigated in some of their frghtful consequent
ces by making the term of probation longer, but
they cannot be arrested SO long as the right to
citizenshipis offered as bonus to emigration
1t il however still question Of political expedl-
ency, and one Of the gravest character, whether
the benefits derived 10 the country, and the bene-
fcence conferred upon the emigrant, do not more
than counterbaance the evils resulting from their
admission to citizenship. This is the point to
which we propose hereafter to say few words,
promising only that we shall look exclusively to
the interests, political and social of this country;
and if we find them injuriously affected by the
naturalization laws, we shall not feel obliged to
consider the advantages rendered TO the citizens
Of other lands.
We will not have it in our power to discuss
this matter to-day, other pressing duties requiring
our attention. In our next number we will en-
deavor to resume the subject, and to examine it
dispassionately, as it should be examined.
