Air. Kai-. Al MaCU.Y.
Thi Sixth Annual Fair of the “ Southern
funa Agricultural f-eciBTT,” held in
Macon last week, was by far the greatest exhi
bition of Agricultural, Mechanical and Artistic
productions ever m de in the South, and. for
extent, variety and the general excellence of
the articles shown, might safely challenge com- i
pariaon with the finest Industrial I xhibitions of
the North There was not, of course, such a
vast and bewildering assemblage of objects on
exhibition; nor were the pr Auctions of the |
workshop as varied and abundant as is gener- |
ally the case at the New York State and other
“ monster” Fairs; yet, the peculiar rmd t-fe
of eur people in all that pertains to the luxu
rious and ornamental departments of industry
and art, made the Macon Fair the most •
and 'Vet that we have ever had the pleasure of |
attending.
The grounds were by nature admirably ntteu
for an exhibition of this character; and the
manner in which they w- re laid out and ar
ranged reflects no little credit upon the taste
and liberality of the citizens of Macon; the
fairer and gentler portion of whom espect dly
distinguished themselves in that part of the exhi
bition to which they were devoted.
The we tl er, (" 'th the exception of YY rd- I
nesday, 28th, which was rainy) w » mild snd
a«»r eahle; and ihe immense concoure of “ air
women and br.ve men”—the loveli- ess, beauty
and chivalry of our bright Southern land—all
seemed to enjoy the see, e with high zest, and
evinced a disposition to make the occasion one
of ecul ar and unusual pleasure.
It would afford us the high-st gratification to
convey to our distant readers a just and ade
quate idea of the many new and beautiful and
tasteful things that we not red in st oiling over
the grounds: but the crowd was so gre rt, and
the objects claiming attention so numerous and
diversified, that *e found it imp-ssibk to do
more than jot do »n, here and there, a few hasty
notes, which we submit to the reader nearly in
the order that we find them upon our memo
randum book.
The first point of attraction, aftsr passing into
the enclosure, at the main entrance, was the
large hall devoted to Horticulture, Floriculture,
Needlework, the Fine Arts, Ac. This hall was
fitted up with much taste, and was exceedingly
rich in beautiful and artistic productions, of
every imaginable description. The s wo'ted
and silk embroidery, cutlery, Daguerreotypes,
oil paintings, fancy needle-work, Ac were
particularly fine; and the display of green
bouse and other plants has never, to our know
ledge, been equalled at a similar exhibition.
Mrs. Chas. ColJifts. of Macon, had on exhibition
239 distinct varieties of plants, among which
we noticed the following rare sorts, viz : Corne
lia Jap>-nica. 50 varieties ; < 'hinese lias. 20 I
varieties; Te« Plant, • oftee. Clove Allspice,
Camphor and Cinnamon trees; the celebrated i
Mango Apple of the East Indies, and many
others ; the names of which might pe haps. be
as new to most of our readers as they were
to oursJves. Bishop Elliott, of Montpelier,
through bis accomplished florist, Mr. Carolan,
presented a splendid collection of rare and
beautiful plants; and to Mrs. S. Rose, of Ma
non, we were also indebted for many valuable
contributions both of fruit and flowers. In the
way of Fruits, the display, though not large,
was very good for the season ; and we noticed,
with pleasure, several of our old favorites
among the pears and apples. Os the latter
Hon. Mark A. Cooper, of Etowah, presented
six or seven kinds raised in Cass co., mo-t of
which were obtained from the North ; and have
been thoroughly proven in • herokee Georgia
These specimens were exceedingly fine, large,
well formed, beautiful and delicious, and should
bring a redder blush than their own to the
cheeks of those who doubt the capacity of G or
gia ’O produce aoytning that can be successfully
grown ebewhere. Our friend and correspond
ent, J. Van Buren Esq, of Habersham pre
■-nted two seedling apples of fine qmli’y;
William Rutherford. Esq., offered eig’t seed
ling of his o n raising; Mr Jas. T. Hadclitfe.
offered some very large and fine specimens of •
the ‘•Duff a> d Mr. 11. L. Deane, of i
’ riffin, sent in specimens of the Newtown Pip- *
pin and Yellow Beilfleur Apples, and Vicar of i
Winkfield and Fas er Beurre Pears, that were
highly cteditable to his skill a* u pomologist. and
encouraging to all those who desire and yet i
fear to test in our soil and climate some of the
choicest no’thernand foreign varieties. Jus.
B. Jones. Esq., of Burk** co , presented a b«»x
of late Peaches, of good quality, picked from
the tree, October 24’h. 8. Rose. Esq., of Ma
con, offered a fine collection ««f Grapes, Pome
granates. Olives, &c ; Mrs Slappy, of Macon,
some splendid Pomegranates, and Vai. Great,
Esq., of Liberty co , offered for i remium (and
obtained it) 5 G anges of good quality raised
in lb* open air in said county The show of
preserved fruits, pickles, jellies &. ~ was unu
sually fine; and we noticed and had the plea
sure f tasti-g some very de'icious dried Figs,
cort ibuled by s me person whose name we
could n t learn. We did learn. however the j
me hod of making th in. which we most cheer
fully give our readers: “ Scald the figs in weak
lye Make a syrup f half a pound of sugar to
each pound of fruit - boil the figs in this'syrup
until they become t>an«par nt— then dry on
dit*hes in the sun;’* and, we will add ‘pack
them in drums and boxes and ship them, (ala
good round price,) to the unfo ternate inhabi
tants of c Ider latitudes.'*

••ne hundred “Chanticleers” o the Poultry
Department, who e ranges of coops, boxes
and cages, piled o»-e upon 'hr other. ‘ loom up”
somewhat imposingly in the distance. Messrs.
D. Redmond, of x trama, and « frarr'ODins, of
Macon, were the principal contribu o»s, and we
hazard nothing in asserting that for extent,
variety and attractiveness, the show of Poulin
upon th s occasion, has t ever been equalled in
America, except perhaps by the great exhibi
tii nh-Id in Boston in Nov* mber. 1849. Tbs
co.lection of the tw«» gentlemen *bove named
comprised about 70 varieties of useful and
ornamental domestic fowls : many of which are
very rare and valuable and have never before
b-o-n ra sed in Georgia Among those particu
larly worthy of mention in the collection ■ f Mr.
(.'•llins, were the Hong Kong, the Imperial
Chinese, the Gr»*at Malay, the Chittagong, the
Guelderland, the Black Spanish, the White
Shanghai, the Cochin < hina, and the Brauiah
Pouter towls; Aylesbury Ducks; African and
Egyptian Geese; African and < hinese Ban
tams; Sumatra and wild India game fowls;
• veral varieties of fancy P'geons. the beauti
ful and unique httlo Quail of California and
msny other varieties Mr. Redmon i’s coll c
tio embrac’d among many others, the follow
ing: Dorkings, Shanghai fowls f I lack, yellow

Georgia and Southern game fowls; 'ebright
Bant <ms; M bite d •.; ’tunes* Silky do ; black
Jaaa; J» rsey Blues; Crested, Aylesbury,
Rowin, Muscovy and oilier Ducks; Chinese,
Hong Kong, (or Poland) Bremen, Java, West-
Jihalia and Wild Geese; Wild Turkeva; Pea
owls and Guinea-fowls. Mr. Geo A. Smith of
Macon, exhibited some very extraordinary
game fowls, of the wild India and Sumatra
breeds These fowls, which have been import
ed into this country quite recently, have created
quite an excitement among the “/•*€>,•” and
ou account of their great rarity and reputed
good qualities in the pit, command high prices,
and are very' eagerly sought after The Suma
tra game fowls arc very beautiful and * gstne”
looking birds; and Ute wild Indian is the most
rapacious and vulture-like specimen of the game
stock hat we have ever noticed. !n the way of
fancy Pignone, Dr. Geo. M. Butey.of Rome,
made a beautiful and attractive exhibition. His
cage, or coop, which was quite large, was a
pretty Gothic Cottage in miniature, iu which
might be seen twelve different varieties, includ
ing F mails. Pouters, Carriers, Capuchins,
Magpies, Tumblers, Ac. Dr. B. also exhibit
eda fine coop of Dorking and Black Poland
fowls, and the taste and neatness of the cages in
which his poultry was confined, were the theme
of getiwral remark and commendation. Mrs.
J. V Jo ids, of Atlanta, off* red a large coop of
pure white Muscovy Ducks.some tin* Bremen
Ge »», Java fowls. Jke.; and other exhibitors,
whose names ar»* not in »»ur pos<esston, contri
buted other varieties to the large and unequalled
list we have enumerated.
The show of C a i Tt k was unquestionably the
very best ever made in Georgia or the Sooth;
and to this depa 'Un ant R. Peters. Esq., of At
lanta, and Messrs. J. B. ai d J. V. Jones of
Burke, were the principal co» t i but ora. The
first named gentleman made nine entries of
pure Devonshire stock, most of which were
•elected with great care, and * ith an especial
eye to their milking qualities, from the herds of
George Patterson. Esq .of Maryland, and the
' essrs. Hu»lbut. of Connecticut Accompa
nying the. entile was a printed strement from
Mr. Peters, a portion of '• hich we subjoin in
order that our distant readers may be informed
••to the peculiar men's • f thia valuable breed,
which an* admitted by all those who posts* ssanv
knowledge on the subject, to be the only im
proved and on e breed ad «pted to our short pas
tures and sultry climate.
Mr. Peters, after some specific ‘tat emeu Is as
to the age, food and general management of his
Devons, proceeds as follows:

Jones, were very fine animals; and in common
with those of Mr Peters, attracted a great deal
of attention. Os pure breeds, other than the De
von, we noticed none upo.i the grounds
worthy of particular attention; although we
were informed that there were on exhibition
some good • cross-’s” oi ths Durham, Ayrshire
and other breeds. Os “Native” co as (improp
erly so called) we noticed a few; but could
discover nothing attractive about them, for the
reason that an impure or “cross bred” animal, i
though possessing good qualities itself, can
not be depended upon for ranstnitting tho e
qualities to its progeny. We, tlieref<»re. have
long since ceased to expect any' benefit from
“c osses” or mixtures of mongrel animals; and
look for improvement only to the judicious
management of the pure , aces, whose points j
and characteristics, a long course of steady and ■
determined effort have rendered fixed and per
manent
The display of Horses of all kinds, was quite
remarkable; and. we are assured by those
t whose judgmeut in such matters we can fully
| rely ou, surpassed any previous exhibit on. it
• may appear somewhat invidious, where all
■ were so good, t • make any distinction, but we
• canuo help remarking that one or two fine i
■ cults, belonging to Major oollcy, ofCass; ■
the horse “St* el,” of Mr. Williams, of Men- '
wether county, and a horse belonging to Mr.
Bell, of Columbia county, attracted our particu
lar attention and admiration
Os Jacks and Mules, the show was also
very good. Among the Jacks, we noticed some
imported Spanish, of fine appearance, offered |
bv Mr. Easley of So. Carolina: and among the :
Mukra the splendid matched pair of Mr West, <
of Kentucky; the large Georgia raised mule ’
of R Peters, ami the young matched pair of i
Mr. Evans, of DeKalb, deserve particular men
tion.
The show of Swise, though imt large, cm- i
braced several fine specimens of the pure Sus- i
I folk breed from R. Peters, «f Athnta. The j
Suff Iks, for symmetry of form, early maturity,
good fattening properti* s, vigor of coubtitution, I
and general docility of disposition are une
qualled by any breed of Hogs in this country :
and cannot tail to prove very valuable to all
who do not wish to drive thur swine on foot
to market; for which latter purpose, they are
altogether unsuitable, on account of their
smallness of bone, heavy bodies, and short legs.
We noticed, also, on the ground, several
••cresees” of the Suffolk and common v «rieti s. •
none of which, however, at all approached the
true SutTolks in the desirable and valuable
points mentioned; although they were all su
perior to the common “land pikes” and “alliga
tors” of the country.
The display of Long Wool Sheep was very
superior—We noticed 15 or 16 of the New
Oxi’ xUUi** Hrerd. »»f of
Keybold, in Delaware, from R Peters, of At
lanta 'he New are a noble race
of ’ beep valuable both for wool and mutton,
and of great size and capacity for the produc
tion of both; as an ev deuce of which we may
men ion the fact that the old patriarch of tins
flock, who was on the ground, weigh* <1 2'o
pounds, and yi hied, at his last clipping” or
shearing. 14 pounds of unwashed wo I. There
were also on exhibition some Merinos from the
flock of 11. B. Randall, Esq., of Cortland, N. '
Y.. and a very fine *outh Down Buck, and j
some grade or cross bred Downs from J. V.
Jones of Atlanta.
Os Agricultural Biplfmests. we noticed
a considerable variety ; but with (he exception
of an Improved Harrow, from D. Johnson, of
Gordon; a fineculting-b x from a gentleman
of I’olunibus, whose name we have forgotten;
some self-sharpemng Plows and a Wheat Drill
from R. P ters; a one and two horse turni g
plows of the Belgi «n patten, from C. Le Har
dy, of Floyd ; some guod 1 and 2 horse tn niiig
plows from Williams. Moffatt X Co., Knox
ville, Tenn.; and the usual amount of cultiva-
I !••', uotton-scrapers, cotton-press models, Ac.
we aw nothing worthy of particular commen
dation.

The Plowing M tch did not come off as anti

; teums for the work, Hereafter, it would be
i well for those intending to compete to bring
i tea.Ds ofoAvu, mules ur horses trained to the
I work, with experienced farm bauds who can
■ both “ hold and drive.” The matter of deep or
i shallow plow.ng, width of furrow-slice, method
of lapping furrows, and turning under manure,
i is very imperfectly understood among us;
I and our knowledge can only be increased by
1 practice, at d such opportunities of seeing the
I w ork well done, as are afforded by a well-eon

At the close of the Fair, the list of Prizes

as often as a prize was a wauled, it was handed

This method of distribu ing Agricultural
prizes is new and in excellent taste; mid we

will soon pass into disuse.
And here we might before closing, devote

I a! best, imperfect; and there is no good reason

I who asmime the management of Agricultural
1 Societies any more than among common mor
tals. We may, however, venture to suggest to
I those who • aiinot fail to make the application,
j that, on future occasions, a li tie more courtesy,
; patience and suavity, with thus ighte t possible
1 disposition to accommodate the public who
• mainly sustain the Society, cannot fail to be
Idled as a rovelty by the great tnajoritv of the

Antl«Slaveiy in ihe South* <
Our comments of October 231 upon Ike
extra'rdmsry posi ion assumed on this subject
by the Cartii u’ionafet & Republic, were
intend’das a protest, not as an anument.
We did not ai d do not consider the ques’ion
there is or not an anti s avery parly
in Georgia f’’ a* at nil a debatable) q leslion
We do not desire to give any countenance
wl atever to he suppo'ilicn that it is 2 sul j c
of any dv übt, <>r admit ing of any discussion
Ttio Constitutionalist and Republic, cf the
24 b uhiam, reiterates however, and a tempt
to prove the assertion, that 'hero ei.cts ‘ a
very C' nsiderable anti-s’avery party in on,
midst.” The b.ct adduced by us as a com
an nt on the assertian (i o. that cf tho 30
argest slaveholdtEg Counties in the State, 23
gave majorities to Mr. Coea) it explains by
•he coi.fi lent expression of opinion that‘ in
most cf those ve y Counties a majority of the
slaveholders voted for Gov. McDonald.’ To
this no other reply would seem necessary than
an equally confident ixpretsion of oi.r op n
ion to tho contrary. There is no certain mode
of ascertaining which class of voters io any
County supported a particular candida’e
From our own meant of observation, tnd
from the probab’y a flee
ted voters, ohr rec'ee’y O[ pesi e
to that of the Ccnstituiicnalist & Republic.
In trery Congressional District in the fiiate
Mr Ccbb received a majority vo’e Is there
an enti slavery party iu every District? In
•he l.irgest slavehcldi’ g Counties he received
mapriiies. In tho smallest •laveholdicg Coun
ties ba received mejaritics. His triumph was
un versa!. We do tot therefore consider
that there is any foundation for the jon
[ made by the Consti utiona'i-t. It cerlair.ly
has tflertd no proof of it. So far as the
1 possession of a large slave interest was calcu
lated to inflience vo e-, its (Let was to lean
L to tho side of stability ra htr than to that of
i change, of xn inc inaticn to which, justly or
ur j is ly, the Bouthern Rights party was cer
’atnk suspected.
“ Th« largo mjuity he (Mr. Ccbb) has
obtained is dtc.sive evidence of the existence
us a very considerable anti-sir.very party in
our midst.” This is the statement cf the
Constitctioua’ist & Hfepv.blic. Quo model
I low dues i'prove it! We deny the infe
rence, and ask for the chain of proof. By
i s reply "c barn tb&t the rfrc’strj evidence is
only in it e ‘-Care <ay ’ that if mears txi»'« d to
ascertain the ». ote, the major:? of slaveholders
would bo found oc the side of Gjv. McDcn
ald. The present aseerti n proves no more
han the past The ‘Mare say” having been
made in the former artic.e, the pre/ would
now havo fuu»d its appropriate place. Mo
per icleuf proof is offered. 'Fan grave charge
rests barely on the opinion of the Cons itution
a'i.u & Republic.
Tne charges against Mr. Johnson we will
iot argue. Thov’ry leitir calling forth the
certificates quoted by the Constitutionalist &
Republic, gave ns the n a-on of calling for
them the denial of Mr. Jciisson that le held
some of the or inions ascribed to him. He
did not there ore iuu upon t; o e opinion?.
H-s avcWHj ground ws* that of rhe Georgia
P.aif rm, pledging him to resist toms of the
very measures it was implied he might favor
Wiihout reference v> the merits ci the con
troversy i i< evident that he ran cn no such
issues, and Lis election was no e ndoisemeiit of
the j-en irnsiits imputed to him.
N :r do the “fru tful thcmie for c iD'Bem”
sugges cd by the speech of Mr. Summers
delivered 19 y*-ars ego furtith more matter
lor reflection on share y than do the speeches
of the former editor of the Republic (nuw
co-editur of the Constitutional!*! & Republic)
at ale-s interval, to wit, of 17 years, furnish
lor reflection upon State R ghts and State
Sovereignty. If the lai er is al liberty to tn
certain a change < f sentiment, perhaps the
(ormer may be allowed the like privilege, and
ihg. fqlkiwibg. Le 89 lh«‘
present position StMMZFs It is
ak p n from a published and widely circulated
letter :
“ I voted to insert that piovi.ion ia the new
Constitution woicb specifically prohibits emancipa
tion. I stated eiprewly that even without such a
clause *he Lrgltlatuie wculd have no to
emancipate.
“ I am a slaveholder myrelf to a considerable
amount. 7am at fix d tn my opposition to all
and <r ry scheme, State or Federal, caculatcdto
oflici the ra ue or secmity oft' vc property ct
any man in the Commonwealth, ’
Thia was going out of Georgia to sustain a
charge trade upon romeos her people, at d
we need have given it no reply. We furnish
the extract however as an act of j is ice io
Mr. Summers.
But the Cher kee country furnishes an
ite of proof. The true ao’.ut on cf the ex
trao.d.nary vole o r Mr. Cobb i« to be fourd
in the fact that of the Counties where alav.a
bear t*e smallest numerical proportion to
frees, an (i. e. in Cherokee) he received ba
heavi« at vo»e. “Judging from pas; political
affinities these Counties would have v ted for
G v. McDonald.” The disproportion Le
tween the number of slaveholders and non
savthoklers furnishes the “true solution” of
their vole.
This handsome compliment *o the Chero
kee population will doubtless be he'd by them
in i rateful and everlasting remembrance
We fancied thst a plea for their misconduct
in vo ing for Mr. Cobb more just and more
honorable, might have been found in their
love of co’nristency, in their adherence to that
■ d ctrine of kdu infttr: nt i n held ny the Do
i mocrats during ti eu d alignment of pul es,
and once held by 'ho Con-titation dis! itself.
j Mr Cobb remained firm—staunch to the
j creed On the other portions of ’he creed its
own acknowledgements show hitn aour.d, for
it -‘makes no charge of ar;ti-»'a. ery sent ments
against Mr. Cobb, and asserts that “he is and
has uni.'ora.ly been upnn all practical ques
tions of leg slativa policy, a Demnctst, as be
tween Democracy anti Federa’ism ”
Woy then should past “ polit-cal albnhies”
have drawn th-m iway, or far that mi ter, have
drawn even the Consti’utionalist itself, from
the support of Mr. Ceaa t
Dy the way, out of what material does the'
Couetituiionaiia & Republic propose tho “ re
organ za ton of tl.e Democratic party in Geer
gia 1 ’ Tne Cherokee De nocracy cons-itu'e
a very ruipoitant wing of it. Yet their rote it
is which furnishes a part of the proof of the
existence, in our n»ds‘, of the very con‘idera
ble aa i slavery party we are discoursing of.
■•Slaves are fewest in prepor ion to white
popul.tiou’’ inCh-rokee; and this that paper
considers t'-e true eo 'stimj of the el raoidina
ry vo.e which Mr- Coxa received.
Does it pant now for a resumption of for
mer “ j olitical affinities’* with th-se cnsound
Cr.ero as Demo ra r, and for a roorganixs icu
of tbe Democratic party out of euti-slavery
elements 1
The rort fact furnished by the Constitu'ion
a! st and Republic as “ not devoid of evidence
of the exia ence of an anti slavery par y in
our ntidst ” must produce a startling etfect
upon one of the co! eagues in the editorial
department of <hst paper. The repeated elec
tion of Mr. STxrBBXs, after his '1 exss annex
a ion ep seen is the fact referred to. Thera
o ection of this distinguished gentleman cer
tainly met with no open oppos ti< n, and we
suppose was not entirely unaCed by the ef
forts of one of the editors of the Cons.itutior:-
siirt & Repub'lc II it furnishes evidence of
the existence, in our midst, of an anti-slavery
party, why doee not ttie same fact bring it
nearer home tr.an the midst of Georgia—into
he very sanctum of the Constitutionakat &
Repubtie office T Which horn of the dilemma
note the Constitutionalist chrese ; to acknow
ledge the tapport of Mr. STsrrxas no evi
dence cf anti slavery propenri ie«, or to hug
the charge of anti slavery to its own boa mt
But we need notice no furthur their futile
aud partial arg'i meols. V>'e repeat the posi
tion assumed tn our former article, that we do
n t fasten tne s i 6 ma of anti-slavery upon our
pohticai friends or foes. Let nut abolition take
to ilsatf aid and comfort trem the cheering fact
that there is an anti-slavery par’y in Georgia
3o far is it from being the ease, 'feat such a
party has arisen, that on the contrary we do
not bo leva public sen'iment at the South wa
ever rounder than at present. The diaeursi n
of the subject has remaved the doubts of even

Died at its residence in Georgia, on or
about the Ist Monday ia October last the
Southern Rights, alias Democratic Southern
Rights, alias Democratic State Rights Repub
lican par'y- I' was one of three ris'ers born
at one birth in Naeh.ille, in JruO, of «h'ch
otto emigrated to Mississippi, another to Ala
bania, white the third dircc’ed its steps to
Georgia. These maty headed sisters were
noted especially for their stentorian voices,
but also for faces of brass and singular pro
pensities to eat fi.-e. The Georgia sister was
the last survivor of the three. The manner
of her death is somewhat uncertain. Some
suppose it to have been occasioned by the
pressure of a superior cumbent mass of no
iess than 18,000 votes. Olheis conceive that
ehs c«me to her untimely end by a species of
infanticide, being killed by her own parents
The question ‘-to kill or not to kill his child
of ona year’s growth 1” was certainly discus
sed by them, and with heartless calculations of
expediency, decided in favor of the murder.
Others, however, consider it rather in tho
light of a divorce by death (effected by the
murder of a former spouse) from Southern
Rights, with a view to propcsitiens of matri
mony to Democracy. Such propositions are
obviously now making on all bands, and he
suit pressed with such vigor as to give great
color to this supposition.
Whatever the cause of the death—-er the
1 motives of the murderer;—it is evident t'.at
the Southern R'ghts pa,ty is dead, and its un
-1 happy relict laudab’y endeavoring to secure
itself from the pains of widowhood,by a speedy
’ second marriage.
I. will be observed with what coolness the
expediency of tho killing—the fact cf the
death —and ll e new crrar.getn-.-nts consequen
upon it are discussed in the very funeral dis
courses delivered thereon.

between Spain and the Uniel States,introduc J
cd in support of the position that this govern j
merit shi.uld iu’etposo for the release of Mr. ,
Thrasher.
‘‘And it 8 agreed that ths subjects or citizens cf I

fee’*, shall not L-c liable to any cnibaigo cr detention

ether party, and ttueft agents shall have fret access
to be pieierd at the proceedings in such causes, no I
at the taking cf a I ex iminatians and evidence
which rn iy be exhibited in s*aid trials.”
Ii Mr. Th sash er wcs a citizen of the United
Sta:e’, under the above article, the
uient ought to interfere. But unfoit titelv for
t lose who rely upon th'S arfcle of the treaty,
Mr. T. is nd a cilizmof the United Sites and
his not been, ncco’ding to tho Picayune for
near twenty year-*, for he has been that long
a resident of Cubi. li 5 is a native of Toil
land, Maine, and with hie brother and parents
moved, nr ar twenty years ago,to Havana,where
he has resided ever since, lb has , therefore
by h 3 own voluntary act, expatriated himaell,
( which according to the principles of our gov-
1 ernmer.t he had a right to do) ar.d cannot
claim its protection, in thia or any other tiner-
l gency. It was to vindicate this right of expa-
I trillion on tie part of a citizen or subject that
produced the war of 1812 between England
i and tho Uaited States—England contended
that her subjects could nor expatriate ibetuselvae
f and claimed tho right to impress them into her
service wherever found. This obnoxious
3 principle the government of the United Sta «n
a w and* England was
j forced into an acquiescence in the position
i- of the Unit ed Stntes, And it is scarcely rea
e so.iable to suppose, that she will now repudi
e a’ei principle, lor ifaa maintenance of wl.ica
I she went to war, to satisfy tho factious clamor
of a few discontented sprits, who are very
e arxious to involve the governments of the
it United States and Spain in a war. Besides, it
1- is perfectly absurd and rid colons to assume
e that because a man happens to be born on our
y ao'l, that this government is bound to protect
him wherever he goes, no matter how long he
e may have permanently resided abroad.
Ie Let u« fiippo.o that Mr. T. had resided in
II Maine tili at’ainad lhe age of manhood,
J ’ had then removed to Havana, Persia or China.
and resided there per naneully, for fifty years,
and in his old age had baen imprisoned on a
—
mere ttHpicion cf enmi y to the govcrnn.ent
under which he lived; dies any man suppore
that this government is bound or would be
bound to pro ect him? Certainly cot. I!e
o'* os it no allegiance, he affords it no suppor ,
and couid not be required to gire it a d in any
emerpsney* Whit claim hsa he, then, upon it?
Note whatever.
That Mr. T. iia most worthy, aceompliahed,
high lou'ed gentleman, end is an innocent
v.ctim cf Spanish tyranny, we save no doubt,
and ha certainly menu the warmest aympn hies
of every lover of Freedom. But until cur
government establishes is her course of po'icy.
that it is her duty to rush to the reacue of every
citizm of a corrupt, tyrannical government
who may be the viciiui of its prosecution, we
canno' consent to fold our arms and see our
people running riot about Cubm affairs, with
out warning them against the consequences ol
such foilr.
Mr. Thrasher is the architect of his own
fortunes; he abandoned America and sought
the protection of Spain, and he must acquie ce
in the result. We are aware that these eenti
menG will be vc ry obnoxious to the Cuban
eympithisers generally, and to aU that impul
sive class who are influenced rather by feeling
than julgmen*- an I reason, and we shall pro
bably be denounced as heardess, and such oth
er choice cp thets. Such things do not cis
turb us. We have a duty to perform as well
tooursefee?, to cure untry,and our citizen?,as
to Mr. Thrasher, and we sha I pel form it re
gardless of all such taunt 7 . Ti at duty is to
hold our government to the strict and rigid per
formancc of its duties, consulting rather the
chart up *n which it is based, the sympa
thies of a portion of the people or the clamors
of a faction to direct its course.

of o ir own. which, to tsy the least, are fully
