Mynheer A. Gyurman, and Mynheer f. Wut
schel, late OF Hungary, some time since ISSUED
proposals for the publication Of paper in New
York, to be called The Denlokralischer VGlker
bund, in which they lay down their platform a.
follows: r.
81. The slavery question. Win regard q
Il, zoe cOnsidsr The compromise no settled solution
but provisional lan0, for the abroRatiO Of Uhich
at least so far as The ertradition Of slnUes is con
cerned, zoe t0iH employ all The means Dhich pub.
&c organ can command.
"2. Land reform. We defend the principle
OF land reform, and contend against monopoly
Of the SOIL
80. The policy of the Union with respect "
Central America. With reference to this point,
ry interference Of European powers in the ri
fairs of the American continent will unlesitat-
ingy be rejected.
"a. The tariff question:; and 5, that of intern
al improvements, Canals, rivers, and harbors)
AS we do net raise thee questions to the stand
ard OF our principles, but rather consider them
questions Of convenience, we give free discus
sion of the same in our paper.
SAT all the elections we will, therefore, take
particular notice Of the three enumerated prn-
ciples.
"a. GYURMAs,
Of. WUTscHEL."
Thus it will be seen that these ''illustrious
exles," who have as yet scarcely snutied the
free air of America, and are not citizens of the
United States, have undertaken to enlighten us
on the most important subjects of our foreign
and domestic policy. First, they set themselves
up in direct opposition to law of the United
States, based on provision Of the Constitution.
Secondly, they undertake to direct us in the
disposal of the public lands Thirdly, they
point out to us the proper policy to be pursued
in relation TO Central America in which per-
fectly agree with them. Fourthly and filthy,
with unexampled modesty they assure the good
people Of the United States, that "they do not
consider the tariff and internal improvement
questions as coming up to the standard of their
principles, but as mere questions of convent
ence"
1t seems to me these worshipfu exiles do not
so much seek this country with view to enjoy
the blessings it confers, and sustaining that gov
eminent by which they are secured, but to prop
ogate their mischevous, disorganizing notions,
and prepare the way for its dissolution. With
an insolent presumption beyond all example
their first step on landing on our soil is to in
terfere with the policy of the country, to under
mine its institutions, and advocate disorganiza-
ton, anarchy and ruin. Well might the dis.
tinguished Senator from Virginia, Mr.. HUNTER,
who-like his colleague, is worthy of the better
days of that illustrious commonwealth--depr
cate the accumulation of foreigners in masses in
the United States. We see its consequences
exemplilied in the paramount influence they al
ready exercise in many of the Western States as
well us in almost all our principal towns and cit
les. They will soon be sufficiently numerous and
organized to give the tone to legislation in
the Western States, and, of course, in the
general governnent--and have already become
of vital conseq fence in Presidential elections
The time u.s. perhaps, not far distant when all
native Americans, who love their country, and
place a proper value on the blessings of rational
liberty, will be called upon to rally to man in
opposition to this second Eruption of the Goths
and Vandals. Politicians who now use them
as instruments, will one day awake and fad
them their masters, if they are not so already.
Their ideas of liberty are more wild than the
widest of our Indians, and, for the most part,
they are equally unworthy of freedom, and I'M
fitted for its enjoyment. The Irish, notwith-
standing their inveterate propensity for break
ing each others heads for amusement, are, after
all, the best of these emgrants--for it is not
quite impossible to make good republicans OF
them, by proper breaking in. They are most OF
them Catholics, and tho tenets as well as disci
pine of that church are Incompatible with so
ciaism. The great majority of German, French,
and Italian emigrants, are socialists and of the
English, a considerable portion are Mormops.
What will be the final result of this strange
mixture no one can tell One thing is however
certain. We must either make rational repub-
licans of them, or they will make, socialists,
anarchists, agrarans, and transcendentalists of
us. I look to The Southern States as the great
barrier TO the pernicious ntoions brought into Mis-
country in the added pates of European re
formers.
