The following New York City statistics set forth the amount of _crime_
committed in that city for six months ending in June, 1855:

"It appears that the number of arrests made during that time
were 25,110. Of these, no less than 9,755 were for intoxication
and disorderly conduct combined; and 7,025 for crimes that had
their origin in the dram-shops, to wit:

"Assault and battery, disorderly conduct, vagrancy, &c. The
greatest number of arrests were in June, showing that during
the hot weather, as is generally the case, more liquor was
drank. The birth-place of the criminals, for two months, was as
follows:

United States, 1,750
Ireland, 5,117
Germany, 1,010
All other places, 4,847

"It needs no argument to prove if there had been no
intoxicating liquor sold in that city, a large portion of the
crimes and the misery resulting therefrom would have been
prevented."

MORE INSTRUCTIVE STATISTICS.--The Jersey City Sentinel of the 22d ult.
publishes statistics of crime and pauperism in Jersey City and Hudson
County, as follows:

"Number of inhabitants in Jersey City, 21,000, viz.: natives,
13,000; Irish, 5,000; other foreigners, 4,000. Number of
persons who have been confined in the city prison, 4,100, viz.:
natives, 75; Irish, 3,550; other foreigners, 475. Number of
persons confined in the county jail at present, 68, viz.:
natives, 2; Irish, 58: other foreigners, 8. Of 188 persons who
have been inmates of the Almshouse, none have been natives, and
no foreigners except Irish. Of 723 who received aid from the
Poor-master, 2 were natives, and 721 were Irish."

We will now submit, as authorities, some names which ought to have
weight with the American people, and which demonstrate, beyond all
contradiction, that we have had "Know Nothings" in our country in
former days, if they were not called by that name! Here are the words
and sentiments of these "dark-lantern patriots:"

"Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence, (I conjure
you to believe me, fellow-citizens,) the jealousy of a free
people ought to be constantly awake. It is one of the m
