Equal rights and protection for naturalized ; and native-horn citizens at home and abroad. Tho assertion of American nationality, which I shall command the respect ot foreign powers, furnish an example and encouragement to people • struggling for national integrity, constitutional liberty, and individual rights, and the mainten- anee of the rights ot naturalized citizens against the absolute doctrines of immutable allegiance, them every Whig President Charleston made no | complaint of inability to protect herself, nor i sent any messenger to the Federal Capitol to ‘ make appeal to the Executive for protection of the city. On the contrary, Charleston was, prosperous, happy, and her citizens contented and feared no evil. Tlie same things are true of the city under Democratic Presidents.— Hence it is evident that some other party other than the Whig or Democratic party is respon sible for the unfortunate condition of Charles ton and her citizens. M hat party is it? W e answer undoubtingly the Radical party. We charge this crime, upon radicalism be cause of its attempt to reverse nature s law by placing the ignorant and barbarous over the intelligent and civilized ; because it lias arous ed the prejudice of the negro race against the white race ; because it has violated the Consti tution of the United States in making those voters in the States who were not voters before; because it has encouraged negro insolence, and j In this connection we would enquire if there is not some man of enlarged financial views who can suggest some just and safe plan by which sufficient funds can ba raised for the early completion, of the road to th’.s point ?— The road is a great public necessity, and will he built sooner or later; hut the interests of Newnan and Western Georgia demands its speedy completion. We have no faith in Mr. Scroggin’s bill to lend the credit of the State to the company, because we think the measure will be defeated, and if it should not be.it would not avail much, for the State just now has but little credit and no money. The subject of completing the road should be agitated again, and the farmers of tlie coun try who will harvest paying crops this Fall, urged to invest a portion of the proceeds of the sale of their cotton in the stock of the road. went ffi at. thus shutting them out from mor-' tal craze, to wander hungry and thirsty in sub terranean darkness forever. Grafton is a hot, dry, dusty, spot, surround ed bv mountains, rocks, steeps and rough-. Near it is a Federal cemetery, and judging from its head-boards we concluded that some body had been playing havoc with V.nkee soldiers. We well remember the 1st Georgia Regiment was up in this region—that Mushy and Imboden had penetrated many hidden m,,} by-ways in search of the Balti more and U iio R tilroad. And they succeeded well in finding it. The conductor on our train had a feeling recollection of them iu reduced Posh and a broken leg. lie says they were a terror to all that section of country.

Man- ; ker for the reason that his convictions of duty has led him to make an expose of the personal expanses of Congress, and it presents a most damning record of the party that claims to represent the moral sentitnent of the country. ; As •< co'temporarv remarks, everybody is inter- i r-sted iu o.ir public expenditures. Every man : out of office who lias to pay a share of these 'expenses by his daily toil is' trying to measure lit? weight and duration of the burden. It j seems bv the acknowledgment of the Republi- i can party that it is to continue with us for at j least forty years. Laborers and producers, . farmers and mechanics must, therefore, meas- ! arc- their strength, and carefully examine the : burden—for it is on their backs that the great j weight is mostly packed.

That the Radicals thus intend it seems to us tlmre can lie no doubt.
