PROMPT AcrIoY.-It appears, that ga atch Of
twenty-seven destitute ilibusters, shipped by the
authorities Of New York to Detroit, were promptly
sent back by the officers Of the latter city, the
other day." We do not mean to condemn this
action Of the authorities Of Detroit but to contrast
it with the practice which prevails in respect to
foreign paupers. In regard to the latter they are
sent to the United States, not by twenties, but by
thousands every year, accompanied In many cases
by convicted criminals sentenced to transporta-
ton TO this country, and are tolerated by our au-
thoHties. They spread through the land like
locusts, begging and stealing wherever they CO.
and yet we hear Of no prompt measure being taken
to arrest and send them back to their own coun-,
tries But letone of our cities undertake to trans
fer its paupers into another city, and they are imme
diately sent back to the place from whence they
came. Why should this discrimination exist? Are
the foreign paupers more useful 10 the community
than the poor OF our own country? This will not
be maintained. No, the motive is, to encourage
foreign emigration, even though the emigrants be
OF the very worst class-the DRAWINGS Of prisons
and poor-houses-tha they may be converted into
citizens, to be used by corrupt politicians at our
elections
Our cities are overrun by foreign paupers, who
are dumped upon our wharves by the hundred at
time, and from thence transferred to our aims
houses in few hours thereafter. We are made
the great LAMAR house of the woodland the secure
asylum for foreign criminals. Foreign govern
ments understand this thing and practice upon it.
Their own poor-houscs are emptied, and their
people relieved of the burthen of supporting
paupers, whilst our taxes are increased, and our
alms-houses filed by their discarded paupers
Will this practice never be checkedS Shall we
never have sufficient selfrespect to prevent the
practice of this gross imposition, with all It's i'm
moral and corrupting tendencicsS Not, we fear,
so long as nations affairs are controlled by party
which requires the assistance Of these foreign
auxiliarics to keep it in power. It seems strange
to us, that any persons should be fond of power
as to desire to retain it, even at the degradation
OF their country. But so it Baltimore Clip.

were the only troops engaged, met them charging
N the same order, whipped them, and chased them
more than ten miles, We are now on their trail,
though three days behind them, and have found
dead Indians every day and horses every few
miles. They have gone TO Arkansas, travelling
forty miles the evening of the fight where We shall
follow them until our provisions are exhausted
III our horses had not been so broken down, we
might have overtaken them,
Our wounded were left on the battle. ground,
a. small fort having been built for their protection
