Pauper Labor.

FROM the LGEOpeau -hftt, VI A1e'ion
3lst., we hear the British government
has detailed naval vessels to convey the
discharged aYbizans" to Canada. Our

forcing them into voluntary exile, as
choice between two evils and the least in
their estimation. They deem their pros
poets Of happiness better in foreign

them in merry England. =,
The government sends these skilled
iaborars TO Canada, well knowing that
they will cross The border with the first
spare dollar they get possession of, to
share the fortunes Of the ever advancing
race of yankees. Let them come. Wis
