[For the American Republican,

NassRs. EDIToRs,- observe that writer
in the Baltimore Patriot Of Wednesday last, in
speaking gratefully Of the abundant harycsts Of
our own happy land, as contrasted with the
scarcity of agricultural produce existing in
Great Britain, aludes to the probability OF a
large accession to our population from immi-
grafton, arising from tins cause;--and lie fur
thcr speaks of it as an advantage to this coun-
try, particularly i'll 'Lueduelng" the Western
wilderness. Now, srs never had any Obiec-
ton to the 'right sort'' of emigration to this
favored land when the emgrant is honest and
industrious, and his sole object is to better his
condition in life, and that Of mis- family by hon
orabc skill or industry; but as friend to the
institutions OF my country, and experimenting
danger to their permanency from these crowds
OF aliens who will continue to thtong in upon
us, would suggest TO the very respectable ed
ltor OF the Patriot whether it has never occur
red to him, that, under our existing natura2a-
ton laws, these enlgrants might not "subduG"
the liberties and institutions of the country by
the ballot box, whilst they were Subduing the
western wilderness To my mind this is
question lraught with great interest to the peo-
pie of this country, and every honorable effort
ought TO be made to avert such deplorable
apprehension.
That the emigration to the United States
from Europe will be far greater i'll numbers
than ever has taken place in one year, during
the next Spring and Summer, no one need
doubt Paupers and criminals will be emptied
on our shores from the crowded poor houses of
Europe, and hastily manufactured into Ameri-
can citizens, to WELD the sovereignty of the
blood-bought Republics.

GENERAL COURT MARTIAL-SECON
TRIAL OF CAPT. VOORHEES,.

WEDNESDAY, July 2, 1s45.
The examination of Mr. Griggs, the pilot, on be-
half of the accused, was resumed and concluded.
He testified that he acted on his own judgment in
anchoring the Congress on the Horse Shoe, instead
of going into Hampton Roads; and that the vessel
could not have been taken into the roads at that
time. A number of questions were put to him by
the court, as to the wind and weather, and why he
did not anchor in Lynn Haven bay, instead of an
chorng on the Horse Shoe. He gave as his rea-
sons that the vessel was close by the wind, and fell
off when within two and half miles of Cape Hen
ry light; and lost the current running at the first
quarter flood into Lynn Haven bay, and took the
current up the Chesapeake bay. He thought the
ship might have been beat up the light-boat that
night, but not into Hampton Roads. He also test-
fed to two attempts (Which failed) get under way,
on Monday, to go to Norfolk from Annapolis.
The examination for the prosecution was resumed,
and the Judge advocate called Lieutenant D. D. Por-
ter He testified that the order of the Secretary Of
the Navy, to proceed from Annapolis to Norfolk
without delay, was received by Captain Voorhees,
early on Saturday morning, the 18th of March; that
on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, until the after
noon Of the last day. the wind was fair to 60 down
the bay for Norfolk; and he knew of no cause
whatever for the delay from Saturday until Tues
day, when the ship left Annapolis. There was, to
his knowledge, but one attempt to get under way on
Monday; and he knew no sufficient reason why it
was not persevered in
He also testified to the establishment of general
ORDER both verbally and in writing for the govern
ment of the frgate Congress, authorizing the lieu
tenants to punish the men in their discretion, not
exceeding six lashes for one offence. The order in
the order-book produced by Capt. Voorhees,, he be-
eved to be the same as was contained in the order
book used on board the ship.
The first direct knowledge he had of the intention
of Capt Voorhees, TO go to Annapolis was when they
were twenty-five miles outside Of Cape Henry, and, as
officer of the Deck he was ordered by Capt. Voor-
hees to hail for bay pilot to take the ship to AM
napolis; and they took pilot accordingly: That
the captain told the pilot he going to Annapolis
The witness then followed the directions or the pilot
and stood in toward Cape Henry, to take the bear
ings, as the pilot said in order to proceed to An
pilot, as to the reasons for anchoring on the Horse
Shoe. The wind was fair for Hampton Roads.
They had the suddingsails set, and could lay free
course to Lynn Haven bay and the roads. He
knew of no difficulty circumstance that made it
prudent or necessary to anchor on the Horse Shoe,
or to proceed to Annapolis. The next day the wind
was fair, and they might have retraced their
and gone to Norfolk. Before Mr.. Porter was cross
examined the court adjourned.
