Whereas, it has repeatedly occurred that
German emigrants to America, and among
them natives Of Wurtemberg, who desired to
return home on account Of sickness or incapaci-
ty to labor, have been forwarded to this coun-

Whereas, it is desirable that those who have
once emigrated to America, and especially
those who have been transported thither at the
expense OF the state or the communes, and are
unable, whether or not it be from any fault of
their own, to earn their subsistence, should not
return here to be a burden to the state or com
mune, which in that case will have defrayed |
the expenses of their journey in vain, and
Whereas, the American authorities are t
scarcel y authorized to send back those who,
having once been admitted to the country, can
not earn their subsistence in America, and
Whereas, it is much less the business of the
German emigration society of New York to
promote the return of such individuals, there
