ut E7ycI gr paupcrs in the seyora! alms-houscs of
THAI commonwealth, IS annually, we believe,
rrrS3c out and returned TO the Office Of the Sc
cTpE4gv of State. We have before us the re-
cusu taf 1914, from which It appears that du:-
lag lSst year three thousand and eighty-seven
peesc,as of talt description were supported in
a. asa chusctts. This number is greatly OK
Creited. we suspect, in other States; and we
ao2ae whether it is not surpassed in Maryland.
L!4s>sa paupers are sent from the alms-houses
OF Europe to be supported at the expense of the
9s2alr Of the United States and tho number
N&K SO greatly augmented, if no measures-be
xEEssEiso ly the State Legislatures or the gene

Massachusetts list Of foreign paupers, says
E'ts'aNele of Massachusetts, calculate the cost.
Sa. Is -, three thousand and eighty-sepsn persons,
&c 0utpourings of foreign wotk-houses and
ltEsf5zs, were fed, clothed aud housed by YOU,
ard, til they die, you must continue to do so.
In sfss same time, t6Vr hIndred and sirieea-a
zraIlsE group-haye made their appearance
foF@ the same sources, and they are now safely
ss'a2gsa and boarded at your expense. We do
rhiG c@DpIain Of our own worthy, unfortunate
laafcr hut would any other country tamely put
,f$ TIta such shameful, unrghteous imposi-
si1a as this9 Read, weigh the consequences of
tAasa extraordinary influx of idlenoss, crime and
se5iiit2 determination of this great multitude, to
itss apon your hard earnings. Their political
aahGe&ce on the destiny of the United States,
thrsaehou. the Union, is already Of the highest
1s,s:Tast and Importance, and must be curtailed."
sState startling facts in connexiou with this
sagEect will be made known, when the testi
ana'sE lately taken in this city shall have been
ra{,i5sned. The fact will be incidentally estab-
EtsteG, that some Of the authorities of Europe
kAys empued the contents Of theil poor-houses
an u2r wharves, and that these destitute beings
aaEc sought our alms-house Immediately on
hnssdsng. 1t will also he shewn, that criminals
hsgc been thus transported, to grace our coun-
try zad to enlighten us on the subject Of free
guargnment. In proclaiming our country to
5s '"tac asylum of the oppressed of all nations,''
W. hardly presume that it was designed to in
e.sal&e criminals and paupers sent out at the !
expense Of other governments,
