authorized to send back those WAC, having once
been admitted to the country, cannot earn their
subsistence in America: and
IVIereas II is much less the business oil the
German Emigration Society Of New York to pro-

Resolyed. That necessary steps are TO be taken
tn preyent their transportation to this country,
! We hardly know neither to complain ofthe igno-
rance of tine Government of Wurtenberg, or to
Express our establishment as its shamelessness.
That government knows, or ought to know, that the
Americans will not receive these emigrants who have
been sent here by a German State or its communes.
In this the Americans act unon the presumption
that the State OF the cCmmunes viii pay the travel
I ing expense OF such persons Only as have become
dangerous or cumbersome To the state. that Is, either
criminals or paupcIs. We hardly blame the
American authorities for declining TO receive such
/ pen sous. Now the government OF Grttinberg
has resolved TO allow those persons to return to
their iatherland whom it has sent away TO the
new world
J If this resolution be communicated 10 the Ameri-
can authorities it will not only he received with the
scorn which il deserves, but it will lead to more
stringent measures against the Decentralization Of
criunals and paupeIs In the harbors OF this county.
las the government OF Wurtem5erg asked itself
what is to become OF the people 70 whom 1t refuses
a donlici? Shall they wander about Oil the ocean
Ike the FLYING Dutchnau? Has chat government
asked itself the question what it would have to say
in case the authorities OF New York should send
the Inhabitants of BlackwcifS Island TO Wurtem'
berg and then protest against their being sent back
by the government
We know very well that there are individual
where people vino are honest and able to work,
have been sent thither, for this or that reason at
The expense Of the state. In such cases. which are
very rare, it is indeed possible that the innocent
should suffer with the guilty.
/ We are not vet aware whether there is any other
government Of Germany that Nil make display OF
it, ignorance or It's iHconsiderateness in regard to
such matters, In such an awkward way as the gov
eminent of Wugjemberg has done 1t is to be hoped
that they @il spare themselves the disgrace oil such
plumbers.
We have no time to comment on these facts
to-day. We place them before our readers for
their consideration. Our American friends
should preserve them for use in the coming
canvass.

ocratio Meeting ut Washington.
The fortv-eight Democratic members of Con-
gress. at their recent meeting in the Federal
Capitol, adopted the following resolution,
which was offered by Mr.. JONES, Of Pennsyl-
vania:
Rcao7rcI. That the Democratic members Of the
House OF Representatives, though in temporary
minority in this body, deem this fit occasion to
tender to their fellow citizens Of the whole Union
their heartfelt congratulations on the triumph, in
the recent elections in several Of the Northern,
Eastern and Western, "a well as Southern States,
of the principles Of the Kansas Nehrasks bill and
NE doctrines of ciH and religious liberty ,cbjch hare
6cc3 so rjolenY oSsaited By secret political order
k,oc1 as the hHow Noth1g party; and though in
a minority we hold it to be our highest duty TO
preserve our organization aud continue our eiloIts
in the maintenance and defence OF those principles
and the constitutional rights OF every section aud
every class Of citizens against their opponents OF
every description whether the so called Republi.
cans, Know Nothings, or Fusonists and to tins
end look with confidence to the support and
appreciation Of all good and true men-frends Of
the constitution ana the Union throughout the
country.
We rapuJ!ish the foregoing resolution for
tie purpose Of directing attention to the lines
which we have iaLicize3 In the heat of an
active political campaign, partisan orators and
presses may overstep the bounds Of reason,
Justice, propriety, aud truth, and not be held
guilty with malice aforethought, Zeal may
outrun discretion and judgment. But there is
nothing TO palate the guilt of those who de-
liberately, on such an occasion as that which
called the forty-eight together, sink the ele-
waited statesman and the high.bred courtesy
which should distinguish an American Con-
gresham, and utter the SANDER that the Amer
lean Party has assajle3 I" tie doctrines Of Grill
and religious l6TtyP Come from what
quarter it may, the allegation is untrue, and
should be treated as an unnitigated libel upon
large portion of the freemen Of this Union,
whose devotion to the doctrines Of civil and
religious liberty is the glorious orilamb UNI
der which they gather to protect and defend
the free institutions Of their country. They
have witnessed with alarm the growth in our
midst of sentiments of hostility to civil and
religions liberty" as GUARANTEED by those IN
si'u,ions and have sundered the party Ties
which formerly bound them, and organized to
check the extension Of and, il possible, eradi-
cate the pernicious Influences which are at
work undermining the Constitution and the
Union Honest in their opinions, they sup
port their principles with energy and decision !;
Uut not without respect to those who differ
with them. II they are in error the way to
convince them of it lies not amidst SANDERS
and dcnuuciltions; but through reason and
argument. If the opposition cannot bring the
aid of the latter to their cause, let them ADAM
don il nothing that requires the former 10
uphold it, is worthy of the support Of intelli-
gent treenen.
