We, therefore, like those patriots, seeing
portenous evils approaching our country from

sometimes reply to our expressions Of appre-

or less, do to injure the United States
But when we tell our countrynen, that IN
1907, the foreign born population in the United
States, bore proportion to the native of about
some to forty" and that now the proportion is
about one to five or six, and that from two 10
five hundred thousand foreigners arrive annu-
ally in the United States,

are now five millions of individuals Of foreign
birth in the United States, or about one third OF

are paupers and Migrants, supported at the

The mayor of Baltimore, the Hon. 5. Smith,
recently forwarded to the President of the Uni

following paragraph.
"a transport Of inmates from the house OF
correction in Gotha, will sail from hence to
Bremen, under the escort Of Police officer,

subsequent communication to the President
Of the United States, informed him that four.

were not struck off, until near the Fort.
