we noStcu the new nag, fchdeTS IL very ulllI-
cult for our carriers to deliver the paper with
as much regularity, or at as early an hour, as
they will be able to do after few days. We
ask our patrons to be a little patient, and we
will endeavor to serve them more promptly
hereafter. Those who may be neglected will
please make it known at the counter
Up WITH THE Flag. The "Public Index, >"
published in Portsmouth, Virginia, by MIR. Tho
mas c. Connolly, late of Baltimore, has hoist
ed the American Republican flag Mr. Con-
molly is gentleman of cultivated mind and Il
forciblc writer We hail his adoption of the
American Republican cause with great plea
sure, as he will be Il most valuable auxiliary.
Ia Boston, and in other places, the American
Republican flag has also been run up within a
few days-and, in fact the principles Of the
party are rapidly spreading, or rather, being
manifested throughout the land The convic-
ton is becoming deep and general, that there
must be an alteration in the naturalization
laws; or that we shall subject our government
TO the control Of European powers. 1t is not
alone from the evil of the great influx of free
immigrants, however ignorant they may be of
the principles of our government, and incom
pctcnt to fulfil the duties Of citizens ntclligibly,
that we have to guard there is another evil of
even greater magutude-that is, the shipment
to our country, by foreign governments of Grim
inals and paupers. Official documents shew
that this has been done, and that it Is contem-
plated on a large scale. In proof of this asser-
ton we submit the following extracts from
letter received by f. List, Esq, Consul at Lelp
sic, in reply TO u circular issued by the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury, on the subject of foreign
warrants and criminals
II have made inquiries with respect to the
transportation of paupers from this country to
the United States; but state affairs being in this
country not as openly conducted as might be
desired. ! have not been successful until oflate
when. by confidential communications, / hare
learned things trhich 1rW require energetic med
smtS on the part Of The United States 10 be coun-
terucicd. Not only p1rtperS, but criminals, are
transported from The interior Of this country in or
der to be embarked there for the United Staiesm
"A Mr.. De stein, formerly an officer in the
service of the Duke of SAKE Gotha has lately |
made propositions TO the smaller states of SAX |
,ony, FOR TRANSPORTING THEIR CRIMINALS 10 The |
port 0t Bremen, and EMBARKING THEM THERE |
FOR THE UNITED STATES AT sEyENTY-FIyE
DOLLARS PER HEAD, lchch offer has been accepted
by several Of them. The first transport Of crimi-
aaS, icho for the greater part haze been condemn
ed to hard tabor for life, (among them two NO.
ToRIous ROBBERS, PETER and ALBREcHT,) .
will leave Gotha on the 10th of this month";;
and it is intended by and by, to empty all the
warehouses and iaiIs of that country, in this
matter. There is little doubt that several other
states will initiate the nctarous practice. In
order to stop it, have sent an article into the
General Gazette of Augsburg, wherein have
attempted to demonstrate that this behaviour |
was contrary to all laws of nations, that it was
a shameful behaviour towards country which |
offers the best inducement to German manu-
features"
sit has Of lato also become n general prac- |
tice in the towns and boroughs OF Germany, to
get rid oftheir paupers and vicious members by
collecting the means for calculating their pass
age to the United States, among the inhabi-
tantS, and by supplying them from the public
funds
1t is also stated, that in a letter from the
Mayor of Baltimore General Samuel Smith,
we believer to the President, he says, that
fourteen convicts from Bremen had been land
cd in this city, who had been shipped in irons
and that their irons were not taken off UNI
til they were near Fort Mclenry. And these
fourteen convicts were not only landed on our
shores TO renew their course of vilany; but in
five years they were no doubt manufactured
into American citizens, with all the rights and
privileges of freemen. Can native or naturali-
zed citizens consent to continue IA law which
thus places on an equality with themselves and
children, the vest convicts of Europe? Is this
country to become the receptacle of all the
paupers and criminals Of the old world? and
shall such persons be permitted to interfere
with, and perhaps control our elections!
