AND BALTIMORE CLIPPER,

" passed. From these il will be seen, that the
par,Y u tins city is animated bya proper spirit
and determined 20 pcrscycre in It's efforts 90 re-
Gnya the country from the intolcIabic abuses
mac. whch it Is aboIinr. 'Romc was not
oDlH day. nor can the Native Americans
srpe.lly build up, without grca, labor and IN
dusty n spreading facts before the people, Il
au'y which, aiming solely TO promote the IN
.e3rs!s Oh. the country, shall be able TO destroy
od patty attachments and prcjldces. Bat this
.nly be done by perseverance,, as the principles
wG.1H are advocated by them are such as,
Oarn properly ind rsood, to enlist the feelings
D; tine American people in Their belief. The
.njpry sustained b. the mechanical and labor
,ng classes % spciety, by the immense numbers
oil torogn crmnIIs and plupers which are sent
into IBIS country, begins to attract attention
and 70 ocgc; complaint. The understanding
iys.c,9 pursued by these foreign immigrants
ms already caused the discharge from employ
7aa.: Of many Americans, or produced a ruin
aaa .,uuctiun in the prices of their labor. And
w1a, ylll be the result in future years, should
European governments be permitted to con-
@nle .hcj7 present practice; Il is easy to for
sr:..I American mechanics must either given
9aco 20 the foreigner, or be content to labor for
r....nrc Insufficient to support themselves
SIND a.mias in comfort and respectfully. -
THE rcaG.. will be inevitable; and, indeed, to
. cony,dcr.L.9 extent, such is the present con
GGloo Of things. Should not this prospect a.
Ana induce them to give their assistance to a
2lr.Y which is laboring for their protection aud
benefit How is the evil 20 be remedied? Let
4c legislature pass law imposing so high "A
governments shall find it to their interest to
Keep thor criminals and paupcrs at homes and
shca we shall have no immigrants arriving in
suy State but those who come from choice, and
Iom a desire to become useful and honorable
st.Lens. 1t might also be required that all i'm.
migrants shall produce consular certificates of
sha:acer-and in addition, as Il safeguard a.
gainst frauds at elections, that no person here
AFTER naturaIiz2d, shall be permitted to vote for
Bne or two years after becoming a citizen.-I
The FIRST measure is indispensable to the inter-
ssts of American mechanics, and we hope that
/ will be pressed upon the consideration of the
legislature. Let us endeavor to take care of
81: own households in the first instance. We
Believe the feeling to be general in favor of an
increased eapitation tax, and we hope that no
mare party considerations will prevent the a.
iop.ioA OF the measure. At all events it forms
one tenn in the political creed of the Native
American party, and they will endeavor to en-
brce j: with all their power.
But, j: may be objected, that if Maryland
,Aol!d SO increase the capitation tax upon i'm
migrants, as to prevent foreign convicts and
vaupcrs from being sent direct to this State
ihey may be landed in other States and find
,hc,i way here. To some extent this might be
'I,e case; but we suspect that other States would
ind 1t 10 their advantage to follow our example
for already are the prisons and poor-houSes
oa Pennsylvania and New York well filled by
D-eeo criminals and paupers The expenses
iUr supporting these are becoming enormous,
and constitute heavy tax. The people can
9o: be much longer blinded by the articles of
politicians as To the injurious effects in moral
ana pacaniery view, Of having our country III
Undated by this description of population; and
we may therefore expect that measures for self
gEo.ec.ion will be adopted by all the States ly-
ng apon the board. Indeed, it would be
al extraordinary thing for the American people
10 lvld .her arms and look with indifference at
j scene which is dsgraccful to their country,
ana 50 deeply prejudiclal TO their own interests.
L cannot be, that the spirit and patriotism
which animated our revolutionary sires, have
become cxtnguished in their sons. We shall
NO. believe it until it be demonstrated too clear
" Tor doubt
"A; meeting of the Native American Con-
venton Of the city Of Baltimore, held on We'd

peclous ~ the city of Baltimore, was more "a
tcrGo,e % our cause, in view of the partiZln
organizations EXISTING amongst us, than our
mos. favorable hopes had led us to expect and
Afforded continuation strong as proof need be,

are properly promulgated, when "OLD Mary /
