THB NA.TURALIZA.TiON QUESTION.
The question as to how far the righ
to grant citizenship to aliens was conj
trolled by the Constitoional provision
which provides that Congress shall have
power to pass general naturalisation
laws has lately been much agitated. We
some time back expressed our opinion
that the? power of conferring citizenship
rested in the general government and
not in the States. We see some valua
ble evidence on this point has lately
been brought to light. The question of
the exercise of the power on the part of
a State, was raised in the Senate of the
United State as far back as 1826. It
was supported in the affirmative by Mr.
Preston, of South Carolina, Mr. Porter,
of Louisiana, and others; but denied by
Mr. Calhoun, supported by many able
men of that day. The argument of Mr.
Calhoun is conclusive. We quote from
him.
“ Allien atul citizen are co-relatve
terms, and stand the contradistinction
to each other. They, of course, cannot
co exist. They are, in fact, so opposite
in their nature, that we conceive of ope
but in contradi: 'Miction to the othere
Thus far, all must he agreed. My next,
step is not less certain.
The Constitution confers on Congress
the authority to pass universal laws of
naurulizntiou. This will not be ques
tioned ; tier will it be, that the effect of
naturalization is to remove alienage. To
remove alienage is, simply to put the
foreigner i t tlie condition of a native
born. To this extent the act of natura
lization goes, and no further.
The next position I assume is no less
certain ; that when Congress has exer
cised its authority by passing a uniform
law of naturalization (as it has,) it ex
cludes tuv. right of exercising a similiar
authority oil the part of the State?. To
suppose that the States could pass na
turalization acts of their own, after Con
gress had pa-sed an uniform law of
naturalization, would be to make the pro
visions of the Constitution nugatory.
I am now prepared to decide the ques
tion which tny colleague has raised. 1
have shown that a citizen is not an alien,
and that alienage is an insuperable bar
rier, till removed, to citizenship ; and
that it can only be removed by comply
ing with the act of Congress. It fol
lows, of course, that a State cannot, of
its o>vn authority make an alien a citi
zen without such compliance.
The general practice of nearly all the
States of the Union is in accordance with
Mr. Calhoun’s decision. If Congress
were to change the naturalization laws
to-morrow that change would be effec
tual in deciding the terms upon which
aliens arc to be admitted to citizenship
in nearly all the States, simply because
the constitutions of those States pre-
scriblc United States citizenship as a pre-
requisite of S tate citizenship.
TROUP AND LAFAYETTE.
When the Marquis de LaFayette visit
ed the United-States, George M. Troup
was Governor of Georgia. He received
him at Savannah, and, surrounded by
his aids and an immense concourse of
people, conducted him to the capital,
where admirers of the nation’s guest
had congregated to do him honor from
every part of the state. At The dinner
given in his honor, tables were spread
cm the campus on the east of the capi
tal—Governor Troup presiding with'
LaFayette upon his right hand and his
son on his left hand. At the feast, it
was announced that the Governor would
give a toast: silence reigned supreme,
when Troup arose and in a stentorian
voice, which reached the extremest
verge of the vast multitude, said :
11 ‘A.union of all hearts to honor the
nation’s guest; a union of all heads to
promote the country’s good.’’
We doubt if the visit of LaFayette,
which called out so many good things,
produced anything equal to this toast of
the G.nernor of Georgia.

THE REV. MR. CRUMLEY.
This gentleman, so favorably known
in this community, has been in our ra'.dst
for several days past, soliciting aid to
enable his denomination to repair their
church building, which suffered very
much, in common with Savannah gene
rally, during the storm of last summer.
From what we can learn, his visit has
been very far from fruitless, though we
cannot record his exact success.
We had the privilege of listening
Sunday evening, to a recital of various
incidents coming under the observation
of this truly self-denying and worthy di-
ciple of his Master v e shall not attempt
to rehearse one of them, but would sim
ply observe, that our feelings, like those
of the large and attentive audience al
ternated between a burning sympathy,
horror and extreme disgust —this latter,
at the exposure pf human character un
der peculiar circumstances.
At the time the gale was at its worst,the
epidemic was also severest—the last
public light was extinguished and the
last morsel of bread eaten. 52 deaths
the 12th of Sept, was the largest bill of
mortality furnished by any other day. It
is supposed there were at least 1500
persons died during the season of dis
tress. But the sufferings of our sister
city, as this gentleman remarked, can
be but feebly portrayed by language and
at this distance. We wish the speaker
continued usefulness, and his city, a to
tal recovery and a bright and glorious
future,

pjiSI KNOW-NOTHING.
Some of the National Era’s coadju
tors having charged that the Know-No
thing movement originated with King
George IH. and others averred that the
Hartford-Convemion-Federalists set the
ball in motion, we would call their at
tention to the following opinions expres
sed by the “Father of his country.”
These extracts are copied from Sparks’
publication of the Washington papers,
and their authenticity will not be ques
tioned. y-
Was George Washington an intole
rant bigot ? Was he a traitor 1 Was he
an enemy to the public liberties. Was
he not rather not only the purest patriot
that ever lived, but also “a friend of
mankind,”as Benjamin Franklin desig
nated him.’ This “friend of mankind”
raised his warning voice against the dan
ger offoreign influence in this country.
Let not his countrymen pass it by un
heeded. Nor was he alone in this:
Jefferson, Jackson,Harrison,Clay, Web
ster, Madison, and a host of the high-
test names recorded in our nation's his
tory, did the same thing.
As to the principles upon which this
mysterious Order is believed to be or
ganized having originated in modem
times, those who so believe exhibit the
most inexcusable ignorance. These
principles were more stringently laid
down in the Mosaic law than the most
rabid Know-Nothing ever dreamed of
carrying out in this country.

Morristown, May 17th, 1777.
To Richard Henry Lee—Dear sir ;
I take the liberty to ask you what Con
gress expect I am to do with the many
foreigners they have at different times
promoted to the rank of officers and,
by their last resolve, two to that of Co
lonel ? These men' have no attachment
to the country, farther than interest
binds them. Our officers think it ex
tremely hard, after they have toiled in
the service, and have sustained many
losses, to have strangers put over them
whose merits, perhaps are not equal to
theiro wn, but whose effrontery will take
no denial. * * * It is by the zeal
and activity of our own people that the
cause must'be supported, and not by a
few hungry adventurers. * * *- I

EARLY TIMES IN CHEROKEE.
We are indebted to a venerable friend
for calling our attention to the following
letter, written in 1797, by Col. Benja
min Hawkins, and recently published,
for the first time, in the Marietta Geor
gian.
Our correspondent, in his note to us
mys : “ I removed to the Cheroke Na
tion (now Forsyth county) in 1816, as
a licensed trader, and remained with
the <5herokees some twenty years—du
ring which time l learned to speak their
tongue and became acquinted with most
of their people. Sarah Waters I did
not know, bnt Sally Hens I knew well.
She lived in what is now Cass County,
about half a mile below where the rail
road crosses the Etowah river. She
was half-blood Cherokee and half white
—a woman of good sense and good
character; as much so as her situation
would permit...... Many of the Chero-
kees at that day were sensible, honest

ness-like manner.
“The Mysteries op Trade."—Our
friend from W n told a good story
the other day of a pack pedlcr who was
exposing certqjn wares for sale at auc
tion not a thousand miles from here.
Mounting his stand, he commenced,
“ShcnteelmcnS; here is one very splen
The young man has been educated in
England, under the direction of his fath
er, and now resides in Georgia. My
other interpreter was a fine young widow,
sixteen years old, who surprised me by
speaking correct English, and saying
she was proud of my having selected
her with Mrs. Waters, to explain the
benevolent views of the United States to
her countrywomen. In the evening 1
visited the old men and women in the
hothouse, and remained three hours
with them. They enquired with much
anxiety into their future prospects. I
explained the object of my mission, my
love for the red women and determina
tion, if practicable, to better their situa
tion.
They expressed much satisfaction
that they might remain in their towns
in peace, and that the government meant
seriously to assist them. They would
follow the advice of their great father,
General Washington. They would plant
cotton, and learn to spin and weave it,
and they hoped I would get some wheels
and cards for them as they should be
ready for them. They could make corn
enough, and were wi'ling to labor, if
they could be directed to turn it to ac
count.
The next day I was visited by all the
women in the town, and I had a long
and interesting conversation with them.
They informed me that they performed
almost ail the labor themselves : that
the men assisted but little, and that in
the com. They generally made plenty
of corn, swee: potatoes, pumpkins, beans,
ground peas, cymbiins, water and musk
melons, gourds, coleworts and onions;
they had planted some cotton; made su
gar, hair baskets, sifters, earthern pots
and pans. They had some hogs, cattle
and poultry. That the men hunted in
the proper season, and aided them with
skins, to procure clothing and blankets,
such as I saw: but that this was not
sufficient to make them comfortable,
and the poor old men, women and chil
dren, were under the necessity of sleep
ing as I saw them, almost all of them,
naked in the hot-house. That they suf
fered much for the want of salt; that
they used but little from necessity, and
when they were able to provide them
selves plentifully with meat, they were
unable to preserve it for the want of
salt.
In the evening they told me that
many men had been sent into their na
tion to their chiefs, but I was the first
who thought it worth the while to exam
ine into the situation of the women. I
had addressed myself to them, and talked
freely and kindly to them, and they were
sure I meant to better their condition.—
They would follow my advice; they said
they were healthy ; lived to old age ;
some few had had the ague and fever ;
but that generally speaking they were
never too unwell to labor. When they
bore children, they were their own mid
wifes, could most of them turn out the
next day after they had delivered them
selves, and pursue their ordinary occupa
tions. They bathed every me ruing in
cold water, which made them healthy,
and they some of them suffered much
anxiety of mind from the neglect of their
hasbauds* who were given to change,
and would often put them away without

without knowing at the time that a
movement had been made in that direc

preacher thus sums up the. history of a
woman who had been called to her long

of the mass of women, but we think
some important chapters are left out.
The mass of woman are born, goto a
boarding school, get married, go to

that; and our opinion is. that any one
who eats well, and drinks well, and dies
well, has done more for tho world than
many distinguished people succeed in

up a family well, she has been a

To Gov. Morris Esq.—Dear sir:—
The design of this is to touch cursorily
upon a subject of very much importance
to the well being of these States; much
more so than will appear at first view. I
mean the appointment of so many for
eigners to office of high rank and trust
in our service.
The lavish manner in which rank
has hitherto been bestowed on these
gentlemen, will certainly be produc
tive of one or the other of two evils,
either to make us despicable in the eyes
of Europe, or became a means of pour
ing them in upon us like a torrent, and
adding to our present burden.
But it is neither the expense or trou
ble of them I most dread; there is an
evil more extensive in its nature and
fatal in its consequences to be appre
hended, and that is the driving of all
our officers out of the service, and throw

if any longer, to the unnatural promo,

thing more than a little plausibility, un

severance in the application to support
their pretensions, not to be resisted but
by uncommon firmness ; men who, in
the first instance, tell you they wish for
nothing more than the honor of serving
in so glorious a cause as volunteers, the

day following want money advanced to
them, and in the course of a week want

and policy of the measure requires to be
honest and virtuous, perhaps, as any

ever, were as base as people could be.”

A RELIC OF THE OLDEN TIME.
Tho following letter is from the orig
inal manuscript, handed us by a friend,
written by Benjamin Hawkins, well
known in the history of Georgia as an
Indian Agent. It will be read with in
terest by the Citizens of Cherokee Geor
gia, who now inhabit a country, which at
the date of the letter was the hunting
ground of the Cherokees. The only part
of the letter which excited our wonder
is that the writer, (an old bachelor)—
should have won so much upon the re
gard of nature’s dames—the squaWS,
Fort Fidius, 4th of March, 1797,
How, my most estimable friend, could
you bestow ten lines of compliment on an
old bachelor and a long chapter on mor
als from your di ooping melancholy city ?
—on one who has traversed the Chero
kee mountains, and Creek hills, for four
months, without a tent with but one
bear skin and two blankets, and has not
suffered himself to be stopped by
rivers, rain or snow. Can such a man,
who is easy and independent in his cir
cumstances, be in his senses ? He does
not want money, and he has the happi
ness of being one among a few chosen
friends who justly estimate each other.—

enigma :—
Friday, 1st December, I sat out for
Etawwau (Etowah.—Ed.) and arrived
there cold, wet and hungry. I had dis
missed my pilot and interpreter, and
depended on the directions of an In
dian, who pointed out my way for me,
and informed me of two women—Sarah
Watson and Sally Hews—both half-
breeds, who spokeEnglish well, f missed
the path, and travelling through the
woods, entered the town at the opposite
end from that intended. Here I applied
to 8 or 10 persons before I could get one
to direct me to the interpreters; and
this was an aged woman. She conduct
ed me to the house of Ogoseetah, a prin
cipal chief: his wife received me kind
ly, and sent imm jdiately for Sarah Wa
ters. She arrived, I informed, her who
considered, and whether it is consistent 1 was and what I wanted. She inter-
with justice or prudence to promote
these military fortune hunters at the
hazard of our army.
Baron Stuben, I now find is also
wanting to quit his inspectorship for a
command in the line. This will be pro
ductive of much discontent. In a word,
although I think the Baron an excellent
officer I do most devoutly wish that
we had not a single foreigner among
us, except the Marquis de Lafayette,
who adts upon very different principles
nection, some had brought their pride in
aid of them, and surmounted the insult,
and some had fallen a prey to the con
stancy cf affection, and died of their own
hands.
In every house I enter, 1 find the chil
dren extremely alarmed at the sight of
tP.S, and many of them scream out. Yet
when they are informed who I am, they
execute any order 1 give, with eagerness.
I inquired particularly of the motheis
what could be the reason of* this. They
answered that this town was the remains
of several towns formerly settled on Tu-
galo and Keowee, who had been much
harrassed by the whites; that the old
people remembered their former situa
tion and sufferings, and frequently spoke
of them : that these tales were listened
to by the children, and made an impres
sion which showed itself in the manner
I saw. “
I shall leave this in a few' days, and
enter again the Cherokee country. I re
ceived a few days past a new commission
in company with General Perkins and
General Winchester, to run the line be

kees and Chickasaws. This is as diffi
cult a trust as has been vested in me,
but if I live I will execute it. I have
applied myself to learn the Creek tongue,
and with some success. This I do by
way of amusement. I am not yet mar
ried ; nor do I smoke or drink.'—

on this score, as w-ell as to find me speak

PUBLIC MEETING IN NEWTON.
A large number of the voters of New
ton County met at Covington, on the
6th inst., pursuant' to notice. Gen. J-
W. Williamson was called to preside,
and W. W. Clarke, to act as Secretary.
Major Zachry stated that the object
of the meeting was to obtain a full and
fair expression of the wish of the people,
as to whom they preferred as their candi
date in the approaching gubernatorial
election, when the following preamble
and resolutions were introduced by W.
W. Clarke:
Whereas, Old party issues have no
-existence in the public mind, the old
question being either obsolete, or kept
alive by demagogues, for the sake alone
of the spoils of party triumphs, and
whereas it is of the utmost importance
that the people proper of the South
should, in the future, act as one man,
to maintain and defend the Constitution
as it is, the Union as it stands, and the
rights of the States without diminution
as guaranteed by the Constitution; and
whereas, by the old method of ascertain
ing public sentiment as to whom official
honors shall be committed, the seeming
public will is.often controlled by trick
and tricksters, whereby the people are
cheated out of their preference—and it
being desirable that the people in their
primary assemblies I’hould consult to
gether and act for themselves, and it
being desirable that a candidate for
Governor should be elected, for whom
all or most of old party men can freely
cast thetr votes—it is therefore.
Resolved, That we recommend each
County in the State to hold a meeting,
for the purpose of determining whom
they prefer to rule over them.
Resolved, That we request each Coun
ty that agrees with us to forward us no
tice of their action, and that when one
third of the Counties have responded
favorably, and united on some man to
be run, that t'te Chairman of the meet
ing appoint a committee of one from
each Congressional District to inform
the gentleman designated of his nomi
nation and request his acceptance.
After reading the Preamble and Re
solutions, the Chairman made some ap
propriate and favorable remarks. After
considerable discussion, participated in
by the Rev. McKindere, Tucker, P
Reynolds, Wanson Glass, Felix Hard
man, John Bass, Lewis Zachry, Ed
ward Thomas, Richard L. Sims, Alfred
Livingstone, and W. W. Clark, the mo
tion was made to adopt the Pr amble
and Resolutions, which was done with
scarcely a dissenting voice.
Major Zachry then offered the follow
ing resolution, which was adopted with
much enthusiasm ;
Resolved, That among the many who
would fill the Executive Chair with use
fulness and honor, there is one whom
we prefer—one who is most likely to
tecociie party men. We beliebe that
the name of Charles J. Jenkins, of
Richmond, will be responded to not only
by this, but every section of the State,
as the man above all others to meet the
crisis.

LATER FROM MEXICO.
In Mexico, at last, a new gafremt-
meat has been established, although
the old one stands, and will, as long as
it may last, which cannot be very long,
as it is entirely without means to live
upon.
The form of the new organization
stands as follows: President, Alvarez,
until the arrival of Ceballos; Finance,
Haroy Tamirez; War. Youcz ; Inte
rior, Payno.
Santa Anna has granted an amnesty
to all exiled individuals, from which Ce-
ballos, Serna and O’Campo are exemp
ted.
General Woll has been recalled from
the command at Matamorus.
All Tehuantepec is under arms. The
prefect of the same place was killed by
the inhabitants, and soon the final stroke
must take place.
Some one hundred and sixty bales
of smuggled goods have been confiscat
ed at the Rio Grande.
The specie Conducla arrived at Ve
ra Cruz from city of Mexico, on the
6th inst. with $2,200,000.
The schooner C. A. Libby, from La-
Guna, reported twenty-eight vessels
loading at that place, mostly for Euro
pean ports. The barque Susan, from
New-Orleans, had arrived.
The French war steamer Acheron
left Vera Cruz on the 7th, with 175 of
the Guayamas prisoners, for Martinique
via. Havana.
On the night of the 1st instant, at
half-past eleven, a shock of earthquake
was felt at Vera Cruz, which lasted
about two minutes. Ori the following
night at the same hour, the shock was
repeated, lasting about fifteen minutes.
These shocks were felt at Jalapa, Al
varado and the city of Mexico, but no
damage was done. It will be remem
bered that distinct shocks of earthquake
were felt on the same nights at many
points in New England, and also at Ha
lifax.
The Echo del Comercio, published at
Vera Cruz, states that the insurgents
had received a terrible blow at Zapot-

bushel of tomatoes, tlie wine will be as
good.
