Thai Villula Discussion again
“Fair Play,” the Enquirer's correspondent, takes'*R.’ to
task upon his hasty sketch ol the discussion at Villula. He
charges him with misrepnsentafioi* in one material point,
and an evasion of truth in?others.
“R.” gated that Col. Watts opposed the acquisition of
Cuba and the Nelnaska bill. “R.” repeats that statement,
“Fair Play’s” opinion to the contrary notwithstanding—re
lying upon the impression made upon his mind by that
speech of Ins at Villula.
The substance of what Col. Watts said there ‘R.’ noted
thus: “Had he (Watts) been in his friend’s (Dowdell’s)
place, he would never have permitted that bill to pass
without striking the “squatter sovereignty” out.” This, iti
connection with even stronger objections, induced him to
make the statement. He considers him .a conscientious
man, —one that means what he says, and says what he
means. If lie would not have voted .for the bill with
the squatter sovereignty clause included, it is evident that
he would not have voted at all, or he would have voted
against it. “R.” knows that on many other occasions he
made professions of friendship towards this bill, but these
professions were those of a pretended friend who say -,
“Come hither,brother, I would speak with thee,” and as
he receives him in bis fond embrace draws out a dagger
and stabs him. “Fair Play” would judge a man a poor
friend of his, 1 fancy, who would expose his faults in eve
ry crowd he passed,who would say that he was his friend
but that lie would steal and tell lies.
Qualifications were annexed to all of Col. Watt’s pro
fessions of friendship to the Nebraska Bill. In Montgom
ery lie being lectured, it is supposed, by Jonse Hooper, be
fore lie took the stand, endeavored to explain away iusob~
jections, and had the audacity to charge a piece in the Ad
vert zer &. Gazette exppressing the honest convictions of
the writer, from his knowledge of his views, as false. He
went so lar on this occasion as to slate, that he was Capt.
Abercrombie’s adviser in Congress and that he told him at
Tuskegee to vote lor the bill. This shuffling was in keep
in with the tact he displayed in backing out of his position
on Cuba. At Girard he unqualifiedly denied favoring its
acquisition. Three days after, being pressed hard by his
competitor at Warrior Stand, he said he rather thought he
did lavor it.
It was once customary in Virginia, when money was
scarce, to pay off dues with tobacco, and wheat. A con
gregation agreed to pay a parson so many bushels to preach
to them a year. Alter filling several appointments,he saw
much dissatisfaction manifested among the brethren. He
grew impatient to know what was the matter, and finally
asked them. “Why,” replied they, “we don’t like your
doctrine.” “Oh, if that’s all,” said he, “I’ll change that
I want that wheat.” When the Col. found that his po
sition on Cuba and Nebraska was unpopular, he changed
that, because lie wanted that wheat—a teat in Congtess
Perhaps more laudable motives still might have influenced
him. lie may have been pursuaded that he was wrong by 1
the cogent arguments of Mr. Dowdell.
“Fair Play” .(-quints prodigiously towards pedantry in
one clause ol his effusion. Why should he mention the
lad that “It.’* had appropriated three words to le found in
Tennyson, if't was not to inform ihe public that he. Knew
that theie was such a woik as “In Memoriam.” It is ques
tioned very much whether he yet knows what “looming
bastion” means as it was used—certain it is that he did not
when he penned his strictures.
“He considers what was said in reference to the num
ber ol foreigners, &c., not worth the time it would take to
to answer it.” Such sweeping expressions as these are
subtei luges of the ignorant, who skip over proof and ar
guments and light upon assertion, which they call conclu
sion.
The argument referred to was Col. Watt’s crushing ar
gimu'ut, and embraces, as he stated in every speech, the
whole reasoning that caused him to join the Know Noth
ings. If “Fair Play” will not look at the argument, nor
answer with jaundiced eyes, it cannot lie explained even lo
his comprehension. The Col. stated that the census of
1850 shows that there are two and one quarter millions of
foreigners in the United Slates. Two millions of these
were in the North, and one quarter million in the South.—
Three fourths of the two millions North were in the noith-
Wt-stern States. He argued that the ratio of emigration
had vastly increased in the last five years, and there were
now five millions *4 foreigners in the United States, sett led
in the proportion above stated in different sections of the
Union. Thai a majority liked the institutions of the Noufi
better than the South, or they would not abide theie. He
urged that upon running the divisor, ninety odd thousand,
through four millions and a half, would give about fifty re
presentatives to the North in Congress by virtue of the num
ber of foreigners—this added so much more strength lo the
Norih. It is granted that he was correct with regard to
tiie census of 1850,hut the ratio of increase since that time as
he states it is incredihle.lt would over double the number of
foreigners every.s years which is not the case. It is thought
that the ratio of increase is not so great since the last census
as before. The reasons are that for the last year or two, it
has been diminished greatly by the wars of Europe. A con
sul and other persons have recently been arrested for en
deavors to procure recruits in thiscountiy to fight the bat
tles of the Allies. There-have been but lew foreigners
landed here the present year. The war will cut ofi emi
gration for a number of years, to come. It is thought that
them may be three millions of loreijjners in the Union now,
settled in the different sections of the country in the pro
portion above given by Col. Watts. It is not thought that
the vast majority have settled in the North from any pecu
liar love for their institutions, bill because they cannot com
pete with slave labor. Nor does it seem that it is an unfa
vorable symptom, that the vast majority have settled in the
North West, which we presently will show. Now running
the divisor, ninety odd thousand, thtouglqtwo and half mil
lions, and it gives twenty-live representatives to the foreign
ers of the North, and through one half million it gives six
members to foreigners South. How do the Kuow Noth
ings propose to remedy this? They do not propose to cut
off emigration entirely, ; but compel foreigners to remain
here a certain number of years before they can vote, no
allow them to hold office, and affix other h restrictions upon
Catholics. Their policy will allow the rag, tag and bob
tail of creation to pour in upon us as much as ever, who
do not deem equality & privilege, and keep out all intelli
gent persons who would feel themselves degraded by these
restrictions. The number of foreigners then under the
Know Nothing plan would be nearly as great as now,and
the class of foreigners as a whole worse than now. Slates
are represented according to the number of residents. The
number of foreigners not being much diminished their rep
resentation w’ould be the same. The North-VV net, where
t iat vast majority of foreigners reside, is the most conserv
ative section of the Union. Indiana sent eleven members
to Congress: seven voted for the Nebraska bill and both
her Senators; only _two voting against it. Douglas and
Shields were from the North West. New England only
sent two members to Congress who voted for the bill.—
They were hung by their constituents in effigy and burnt.
Here the foreigners are few and show their devotion to the
Constitution and the South, as evidenced in the Burns riot
The speech made by Seward about his 700,000 foreigners
North West, was made, as Jell. Davis said, a week before
hand, for the purpose of building up the order South. He
laid a trap in which “Fair Flay” with all his brethren have
been completely caught.
There is another “feature about “Col. Watt’s argument
which w'e think will prove fatal to the whole. Out of 3
millions of foreigners in this country, a fraction over one
quarter of a million are South. This 9hows that they are
not formidable here and never can be. Facts show that
foreigners North are friends of the Constitution and the
South. Shall we then go noith with Gardner and Wilson.
qq a crusade against our friends, wb#n the evils which the
Know-Nothings would remedy do not exist among u.-? It
-they should become too numerous, or threaten evil, Ala
bama has the power to correct that evil herself. Natural
ization only gives national protection to the property and
person ol an individual; the Slates can say that a foreigner
may vSte in ten days after he lands, or not until forty
years. \\ by make a national question of that, over which
the generalagouernment has no control? Each State can
regulate the evil, if it be one, lor herself.
In conclusion,“R.” must say to “Fair Flay” he has done
with him, and if he still insists that his answer to Colonel
Watts’ argument is not worth notice, he replies that he can
only furnish him with arguments, supply him
with brains. * R.
For the Times &. Sentinel...
Messrs. Editors: —ln the Times & Sentinel of las
Tuesday, I noticed a short epistle from John J. McKen
dree, Esq ,in which he says that “at a Denjocratic ‘meet s
ing in l find a position [given tome to
which 1 am not entitled.” He further goesYm to deny that
lie has ever received the Third Degree of Know
ism. In reply to Mi. M'Kendree. I can only |ive the same
statement that I did on the occasion alluded 10, and leave
the reader, as I did on that day, to form his own conclu
sions. I said, that Mr. Masofo said, “he went to Columbus
to take the third degree, but when heMound, what it purpor
ted to he, he said he told John McKendrec lie’d bed --d il
he'd take it.” 1 did not say that Mr. Mason went to Mr,
Mclvendree, but that he went to Columbus- to take the
degree, and told Mr. MeKendree he would not take it.—
Mr. Mason is a man whose ver.icity no one doubts, and
therefore must have stated facts. It Mr. Me Kendree is
clear.it is strange that such a conversation should have oc
curred between him and Mr. Masop. But as 1 have before
said, 1 will leave that matter for the public to judge. Mr.
has denied having revived the Third Degree,
and 1 don’t pretend to question his statement, but it will le
remembered iliat Know Nothings, from the greatest to the
lea-4, so far as my observation extends, [strange as it
may seem, have all denied it. In attempting to rid him
sell from the “very appearance of evil,” Mr. Mclvendree
has endeavored to cast a conteinptabio reflection upon me
and in the attempt has unwittingly employed a sentence ol
commendation, he says, “the genueman (alluding to me,)
who was made to contribute lo the amusement of the au
dience,” &c. That was true, Mr. Me Kendree, in part, for
it was truly amusing to the good and true—to the unterri
tied, but it was “death in tliftpot,” judging from external
appearances, to the“*Bam” family, when they ,saw exposed
to view the hideous form of “rfani” and that the “trick”

Castli; Rock, Dade Cos. Ga July lf>, 1855.
Messrs. Editors: mej to invite attention to a
section ot Georgia which has lieen but little explored and
which is but little known. This beautiful and romantic
place is in the extreme northern part of our Mate, on a
spur of Sand Mountain, which rises from the valley ol
the Tennessee river, and extends tor many miles into tin*
State of Alabama, it is about five miles from the Nash
ville & Chattanooga Railroad, and about three miles lrom
Nickojack Gove. i liC name ol the place was suggesud ,
by the castellated appearance it presents to tiie beholder
as it looms up Irom tiie valley below. Immense ma.-rsesot
rock, like a great wall, girt the entire goige ol the moun
tain and seem to bid defiance to all approach. The ap
pearances here would indicate that some tremendous con
vulsion of natuie had rent the mountain asunder, tor the
putpose ol disclosing to the eye ot man the valuable liea
ures concealed in its bowels. Not lar Irom the sum ml
are inexhau?tible beds of Bituminous coal, and their prox
imity t ( > the railroad promises a rich reward lo those who
are engaged in extracting this valuable mineral from Jtr
deep and hidden iwe sec;. An association was formed,
last year, under the name of Castle Rock Mining Compa
ny, tor the purpose ot working these coal beds, and though
they have not done much, yet sufficient development .: have
been made to warrant euluiged operation* the ensuing year.
There are several oilier coal bed- in tins vicinity, aid the
neighboring Slates oi Tennessee and Alabama, most ot
which (where not too lar Irom the rail load) may in-, min
ed with protit. i In* beds <>t coal are generally about 3
teet in thickness, some thicker and some less so. 1 lie
Castle Rock Mining Company have it in contemplation to
construct a wooden track,railroad Irom a point near their
coal pit to Shell Mound on the N. Al C. Railroad.
In addition to tliCMmneral lesourees of this region, we
have a climate unsurpassed for health and eomloit. The
atmosphere is pine and salubrious, and Ihe water is dear as
crystal, cold enough, and delicious as the nectar of the
gods. The nights arc so cool that it is a pleasure to sleep.
•Could one of the denizen-: oi your sultry dime he *>.ud jfli
ly translated to this place, he could well say with Saucho
Fanza,“blessed be the man who invented vleep.” No
need of taking a fan lo bed with you here; no courting ot
“tired nature’s sweet restorer;” it comes unbidden, and you
rise in the morning gay as a lark mid vigorous as a giant.
This region ol our Mate has been hitherto an almost * ter
ra incognita;” cut ofl Irom the great body ol its territory by
mountain barriers, it hardly assumed to lie a part ot our
noble commonwealth. Tim completion of that stupen
dous work, the Nashville and Chattanooga railroad, has
made it quite accessabie, and it is now beginning to be ap
preciated. The outlet opened by this great avenue fur Ihe
iranspoitatiou of its mineral wealth and its grain, has great
ly enhanced the value ol the land and given anew impetus
to the forming community. The crops of wheat here are
good beyond precedent, and the prospect of the corn is so
tine, that it is thought this great and indispensable article,
which has been so scarce the past tear, will not he worth
more than 20 or 25 cents per bushel.
✓ The land on the mountain top here is quite level. The
soil seems lo lie well adapted to the production of all kinds
of truitz and vegetables, and is'‘peculiarly favorable to the
growth ot the vine. When this part ol Georgia is more
tally developed, it is believed that it will be one of the
most desirable portions of our gr at and beloved Slate.

Patrick Henry, Henry Clay and Daniel Webster on
Immigration and Religious Toleration.
“Encourage immigration, encourage the husbandmen,
the mechanics, the merchants of the old world to come
and settle in this world of promise ; make it the home
of the skillful, the industrious and the happy, as well as
the asylum of the distressed ; 611 up the measure of your
population as you can by the means w hich Heaven has
placed in your power, and I venture to prophecy there
are those living who will see this favored land among the
most powerful on earth. Yes, sir, they will see her great
iu arts and arms, her golden harvests running over an
immeasurable extent, her commerce penetrating the most
distint seas, and her cannon silencing the vain boast of
those who now appear to rule the wavts.” —Patrick
Henry.
“The honest, patient and industrious German, readily
unites with our people, establishes himself upon some of
our fit lands, tills capacious barns, aud enjoys in tran
quility. the abundant fruits which his diligence gathers
around him, always ready to fly to the standard of his
adopted country or its laws, when called by the duty of
pMijolLm. The gay, the versatile, the philosophical
Frenchman, accommodating himself cheerfully to all the
vicissitudes of liie, incorporates himself without dif
ticuliy in our society. But of all foreigners, nolle amal
gamate themselves so quickly with our people as the ‘na
tives .f the Emerald Isle.’ In some of the visions that
have passed through my imagination. 1 have supposed that
Ireland was originally a part and parcel of this continent, and
that by some extraordinary convulsion of nature, it was
torn from America, and drifting across the oceau, it was
placed in the unfortnnle vicinity of Great Britain. The
same open heartedness, the same generous hospitality,
lhe same careless and uncalculating indifference about
human life, characterizes the inhabitants of both countries.
Kentucky has been sometimes called the Ireland of Ame
rica ; and I have no doubt that if the current of immi
gration were revised and set from America, upon the
shores of Europe, instead of being from Europe to Ame
rica, every American emigration to Ireland would there
find as every Irish tmigrant here finds, a hearty welcome
and a happy home.— Henry Clay.
“It seems to be the American destiny, the mission
which have been entrusted to us here on the shore of the
Atlantic, the conception and the great duty to which we
arc horn, to show that ail sects and all denominations,
professing reverence for the authority of the author of
our being and belief in his revelations, may safely be toU
crated without prejudice either to our religion or our lib
erties.
“We are protestanls generally speaking, but you all
know that there presides at the head of the Supreme
.Judicature of the United Slates a Roman Catholic ; and
no man, l suppose, through the whole United States,
imagines that the Judiciary is less safe, and the adminis
tration of public justice is less respectable or loss secure,
because the Chief Justice of the United States lias been,
and is, a firm adherent of that religion—and so it is in
every department of society among us.
“In both Houses of Congress, in all public offices, we
proceed on tlie idea that a man’s religious belie! is a mat
ter above human law, that it is a question to be settled
between him and his Maker, because fie is responsible to
none but his Maker for adopting or re jecting the reveal
ed truth.
“And here is the great distinction which is sometimes
overlooked, and w hich I am afraid is now too often over
looked in New England, the glorious inheritance of the
sons of the Pilgrims.

The Opinions of American Sages upon Natu
ralization.
The Know Nothings are pretending to quote the
opinions of the sages and heroes of the American Revo
lution against the naturalization of Foreigners. It ought
io be a sufficient answer to these pretended quotations
that they conferred upon Congress the power to estab
lish a uniform rule of naturalization : and that the law
passed by them in 1802 is now the existing law of tho
laud. But we are willing to meet them on their own
ground. We appeal to the writings of the fathers.—
Hear them :
Washington’s Opinion.
“The bo.-om of America is open to receive, not only tho
opulent aud respectable stranger, but the oppressed and
persecuted of all nations and all religions, whom we shall
welcome to a participation in all our rights and privileges ”
Jefferson’s Opinion.
“1 cannot omit recommending a revival of the laws on
the subject of naturalization. Considering the ordinary
chances of human life, a denial of citizenship under a resi
dence ol fourteen years, is a denial to a great proportion of
those who a-k it, and controls a policy pursued from their
first settlement by many of these States, and still believed
o! consequence to their prosperity. And shall we refuse
the unhappy fugitives from distress, that hospitality which
even the savages oi the w ilderness extended to our fathers,
arriving in this land ? Shall oppressed humanity find no
a-ylum on this globe ? The Constitution, indeed, has wise
ly provided that, for admission to eeitain offices of impor
tant tiust, a ievidence shall lie required sufficient to deiop
character and design ; but might not the general character
and capabilities of a citizen be safely communicated to
erery one mttuifesting a bona fide purpose or embarking
his life and fort nues permanently with us ?”
Madison’s Opinion.
“Should the proposed Constitution have the intended ef
fect of giving itabiliiy and reputaiiou to our government,
great numbers ol respectable F.uropeau men who loved
liberty and wish to partake its blessings, will be ready to
transfer their fortunes hither. All such would ieel the more
tilication of being marked with suspicious incapacities
though they should not court public honors.”
Franklin’s Opinion.
“The people in Europe are friendly to this country ; even
in the country with which we have lately been at war, we
have now, and had during the war, a great many friends
not only amongst the people at large, but in both Houses oi
Parliament. Iu every other country in Europe,all the peo
ple are friends. We found in the course ol the revolution
that many strangers served us faithfully, and that many na
tives took part against their country. When foreigners,
after looking about for some other country in which they
can obtain more happiness, give preference to ours, it is
proof of attachment which ought to excite our confidence
and affection.”
