of America, under the eyes of an intelligent American population, and in the face of the
world, proclaim that the American nation is a band of "Robbers," and that what by our
Laws we grant as a boon, is the "right" of all mankind, which we dare not refuse! Listen to his language: "We are all "foreigners" on this soil, as we
have contended before. The white man obtained it by robbing ihe Aborigines of their possessions, and if we pursue strictly the right to this soil, we must find it vested in the IxiaANS." Can it be possible that these Foreign citizens
who have been received with open arms, and protected by our laws, should so soon presume to declare that what we oiler in charity and kindness, is theirs by "right," which we dare not withhold? What would Washington
admitted ef an arrogant Foreign party,
dares to tell native Americans that they are a. bre..d of fobbcrsand, that the offscourings of Europe, the outpourings of her workshops and prUans, the ignorant and vicious of her
poor-houses, and the turbulent and corrupt of
he-subjects, th? transpotrd convict and the condemned felon may all come here and demand a, a "right" that citizenship whuh we very innocently imagined was granted as a favor to, the oppressed patriot. But thank God the avowal has been made in good season, it is not A-ct loo late to leach these impudent
upstarts, that whatever may be their bargains with the Tory leaders, the deceived and insulted people of the United States are not prepared to ratify them, and lhat they have developed their plans a little too soon to ensure their success. As the danger is close at hand, and the im
pudent bravery of the foreign party daily in
creasing; let our native American population
meet in their respective wards, and without
distinction of partv, resolve, that however
much they may diner on other political ques
lions, they will not support lor any onice wnat-
ever, a candidate who does not pledge himself
to use all honorable means to insure an imme
diate repeal of our naturalization laws,t under such circumstances as shall in no way affect
the rights of any who have become naturali
zed, or who may declare their intention to be
come so before the repeal of such laws. In
this sacred duty to our country, honest men oi i
both political parties, may and will unite with
out in any way compromising their political
principles: and we solemnly pledge ourselves that the Courier arid Enquirer, forsaking all
other parties, and all preferences for individ
uals, will go heart and hand in this good cause,
and refuse all support to those yho do not act
m concert with us. Let us stand by our rights as. Americans, and teach those who
would deprive us of them, that if we are a
nation of robbers," we have both the courage and ability to retain our booty, and will only dispense it at our pleasure to those oth
er robbers who presume to claim as anght,
what heretofore we granted them in charity
as a boon. A. 1 Courier.
turbances of Tuesday night were in custody at our police office, awaiting their trial yesterr day morning. It appears that about three hundred Irishmen assembled last tight at the corner of Cross and Peaii sti Jn-imed with clubs, on which they commenced, breaking windows, and other acts of violence. The watchmen in vain attempted to put a stop to this proceeding, as the rioters were too numerous to be dispersed with so small a force. Several of the watchmen were knocked down and severely treated by the mob, who were not contented with using clubs, hut actually made use of Jirt arms, and several pistols were fired in the crowd, but whether loaded with ball or not, we have not ascertained. Additional assistance having arrived, a considerable number with great difficulty secured, and brought to the watch house. The riots now begin to assume the roost alarmingand threatening aspect, as it seems that not a few are provided with fire arms, which it appears they are not backward in using. Several respectable individuals whose windows have been broken, have expressed their determination to fire on the assailants, should their property be again attacked.--.V. F.

It becomes our painful duty to report one
cf the most awful and destructive connagra'
tions that have visited our city since the great
fire of 1S10. About half past 12 o'clock last
night, theb ails of St. Michael s Church sounded the alarm, but before any number of citi

Here follows a description of the progress the fire made, &c We regret to add that while two colored

WETUMPKA, (ALA.) JUNE 6. We learn that a murder has been commit

deed are nearly as follows. The deceased
White absent from his house was pursued and threatened by an Indian, who said that a connexion of his had been but a short time since killed by some white person who had not been punished for the act, and that he intended to slay some white person to revenge the injuiry done him. Suspicion was excited by the numerous threats made by this Indian, and
the deceased having been missed, was searched for by his neighbors, and was found killed, and laying some distance from the road, where he had been dragged. He was shot
ceeded in forcing it into the stream, ad al
though its efforts to c;capc were powerful,
they succeeded in bringing it in triumph to the opposite side of the stream, when who should this supposed inhabitant of the upper world
