Payton, Esq., of tilauuton, Virginia, iu relation to the questions ot naturalization and the African Slava Trade.— The latter is quite brief, and is substantially as follows ; “There can be no difference in the degrees of protection accorded by Government to native und naturalized citizens. Our f'onstitutiou recognize* no difference iu this inspect. If a person euu ex patriate himself from a foreign government, and swear allegiance to this, and still owe any thing to the foreign power, lie is In the singular and iu credible predicament, of owing allegiance to two countries without being on titled to the protection of either. If•• would accord the fullest protection to all our citizen*. “in the t/'oiiventiou, the t'onstitutlon was a creature of compromise, uud the African .Slave Trade was the subject. tioutb Carolina and Georgia wished to continue it { Virginia, Penn sylvania, New Jersey and New York wished it terminated; New England was passive in the matter: South Carolina and Georgia finally car ried their point of eontinuance till tho year 1808, with the understanding that it should tbon end. ft, therefore, became the vital compromise of tho instrument, and must be held as sacred as the in strument itself. In this view Judge Douglas de clares himself to be irrevocably opposed to the re-opening of the African tilave Trade.” Texas Poll! Ice-Crop*.

Tnr Prack Crop. —Tho recurrence of the j peach seasou is suggestive of a few remarks ou the subject. The Georgia and Carolina peach crop is about over, and compared with the promise of fruit in , February und March, has beeu very small indeed. • Hardly five per cent, ofthe quantity anticipated came to maturity. Thiv dpclino was caused principally by a late frost. Messrs. J M Nunez j A Cos., of Columbus, Georgia, wrapped their fruit i in paper and packed it in proper chipping*, in tho result they were amply compensated. Their ; shipments must have averaged $lO to sl2 a bush j el in thi* market. The same heasy frost, assisted by an iuscc ( , which stung and spoiled much fruit, made sad ravages among the Delaware and Maryland oi chards, aud wo think not one-fifth of the quan tity promised in May, will bo realized.

The Nomination op Mr. Saxe. — The nomina tion of Mr. John G. Hex©, the poet, for the office of Governor of Vermont, is thus celebrated In verse; “Prince John of Vermont,” being told t’otlior day, By an elderly friend, in a cavilling way, That tho’ his attainments were many and rare, He was something too young for the Got .'s chair; “No matter,” quoth John, “whatever tho doubt, It isn’t a point worth disputing about; For a* to thoohair, the incumbent may hot it, , I’ll bo old enough for't by tho time that I gut. it!” 1 * Independent Smith” v*. “Federal Union.'* Tho Independent South dobs great injustice to the Federal Union by copying the following from “nn old lllo” of the Journal it M****ng*r: “The Editor of tho Federal Union himself is II ditnnionitt, and if hi* solemn asseveration could 1 be taken in a court of justice, wo could prove him I lube one before any petit jury iu Georgia.” At the time that was written the Federal Union was differently officered ; Col. I>. C. Campbell wus then the Editor, and was a strong Southern Rights man. It is now edited by Messrs. Bouglit<>n A N'isbet. Wo know that the former ha* a pious Ti gard for the “glu-ri-ous Union,” and wu think that the latter in ibis, deeply sympathises with hi* “venerable’* Senior, bo it is unfair for the South to quote from the Union, when it had an Editor that acquiesced in tho doctrine* of Senator Ivor- | Mon, to convict it of inconsistency at a time whui , it* Editors do not hold to the same doctrines.— The Senior is noted for his consistency in politi *. A truer mau to this party never flourished a pen or *pilt ink. Tho Democratic administration*, both State and Federal, find iu him 11 ready, able and zealous supporter. Some slack-twitted Item . ocrat have filed some trifling objections to Mr. j Buchanan. All such have been well rebuked by ‘ tbe Senior. He approves of every tiling tlie old ; gentleman ban done, even to the kidnapping of j Walker. “He never names” his party or it* len der* “but to praise.” He lots the other side do tho grumbling, and if they do, ho conn* up boldly to the defence. The South then is “chucking away its time” trying to prove the Editor inconsistent. It will make much better out to change its attack, and come dowu on him for his intense Union con tieUncy.

M c have m> idea of discussing this question, though we have had some opportunity of compar ing it with the white slavery af the North, where, aim..at universally, there is no sympathy between the servant and the master or loistress, no nttaob* ments that grow with their mutual growth and strengthen with their strength, no nursing of a sick servant, no employment of one except while he or she remains well enough to work.

But a- a limiter of justioo to all concerned—tho*e corn plaint.■ should ho lodged at tho proper quarter— and those who are charged with tho supervision and responsibility of this intricate, difficult and extended business, should bo made to (tear the burden of their own wroug or negligence. Tho Post Office Departumid has provided a number of special Agents at different point* in the country, whoso husinoss it is to superinteml i ho carrying and delivery of all mails in their re spective districts, to investigate all losses which may occur, and to see that contractor* who arc paid for the transportation of the mails, faith fully perforin their contracts. These then are hamlaotncly remunerated for their services, and if in any case they fail to perform their duties, it is the duty of the Postmaster or Postmasters to whom the fact becomes known, to lodge informa tion of it at the proper department at Washing ton. These I’cinarks have been called forth by the various and systematic efforts In different portions ol the district, to iujuro .Mr. Orawlord, by at tempting to place at his door the inadequacy ol mail facilities throughout the district—and the failures that are eousiaully occurring. A tew suggestions will mako Apparent the in justice of theso attack* Mr. Crawford ha* uo control of the Post Office Department or it* ao tkons, and if he were to devote bi t attention to tho mail arrangements even in so small an extent of territory os is contained iu his own district, lie would havu little or no time to give to the gener- ! ul legislation of the country, aud the other inter ests of his constituents. Neither is it iu the power of Mr. Crawtord to establish or abolish mail route* at his pleasure, uud if this power were vested in tlio hands of one man, the whole reve nue of tho couutry would bo insufficient to supply ihe demand for new mail routes, uud the increase of mails which has been engendered by the spirit us enterprise produced by tho completion of rail road lines, tho projection ofothors, and the vari ous schemes of internal improvement now agita led in almost every conunuuity. Mr. Crawford can do uo more thau any other Representative upon the floor of Congress—which i to suggest to the l'osi Office Department the establishment of such mail routes aud offices in his district, which, iu his opinion wilt be pro ductive of tho greatest good to the greatest uuiu her—and only so many of these us can Tie cover ed by the quota due hi* diMtrict from tho up propriutiou made by Congress for tho transput lu lion of the mails. This much he has done, auu a von more, for the second district, during hi* term ol'office, ha© enjoyed uioro than her jus; *bari of the appropriation made for carrying the mail* iu this titute. Wu trust that thoso *0 anxious to carp at Mr. Crawford and hi* official course, will look mote 1 closoly into this matter, will examine our sug gestions, aud the conclusions which must arise from them, und oeaso to attach blame to Mr. Crawford, without they can show that he is just ly on<itled to it. While on this subject, we would say one word about the discontinuance of the mail between Oglethorpe and PotidLown, the blame of which has been attributed to Mr. Crawford. At the lolling of the last mail contracts, that contract wus bid off'by a man from Alabama, Mr. Craw ford had no more to do with it tiiun any other in dividual in tbe district, uor cun he now, by an> set of his, hasten tho department in its action regard* the matter. 80 soou as the tact of thu failure of the contractor is made known ot Wash ington, that route, in its regular course of* busi ness, will be ftflscn up and re-let, and those m*i interested in it, -<hffi)j<l *o to it, that it is not again bid off by an unrespdhnble party.
