aB olitIon - in - congress.—If
•here were no other ground of preference,
he consideration of this question should
be sufficient to induce the people to elect
the Union candidates for congress. It is
air to presume that our nidhfiers, if elect
ed will act as other nullifies have acted^
in that body. The course of the nullifi
es in congress has been disreputable and
injurious to the South, and has benefited
none hut the abolitionists. They have
constantly exaggerated the numbers and
the strength of the abolitionists; and
what could be more grateful to this pes
tilent sect, or more favorable to its growth?
The idea that they are powerful and ns-
iu" is calculated to aid them in making
proselytes. These men, professing the
utmost abhorrence for the abolitionists,
studiously sought to give them what they
most desired, an opportunity of magnify
ing their importance, and ol agitating the
country, by the public discussion ol their
doctrines in congress. The nullifies
were deeply mortified, when the adoption
of Pinckney’s resolutions seemed to put
an end to these protracted and pernicious
debates, in which the two mischievous
factions had vied with each other in cast
ing fire-brands. After these resolutions
had been agreed to, Slade, the most hu-
sv and meddling of the abolitionists, in
troduced a petition from Pennsylvania,
praying congress to reject from the new
constitution of Arkansas, the clause which
prohibits any legislature of that State
from passing laws for the aboliton of
slavery within its limits; and while Union
men frowned indignantly at this insolent
attempt to dictate the terms of their con
stitution to the people of Arkansas, W ise,
the notorious nullitier, the boasted cham
pion of his party, was so delighted at the
revival of the strife by the abolitionists,
that in a voice loud enough to be heard
by two thirds of the members, he ex
claimed, “Glory! Glory!!” He was in
an ecstacy of joy, because the attempt to
put down the abolitionists in congress
seemed to have failed. But he was dis
appointed. When an effort was made a-
gam to open the discussion of the ques
tions raised in this petition, the speaker
declared the debate to be out of order,
because incompatible with one of the re
solutions of Mr. Pinckney, which had
been adopted.
The nullifiers denounced indiscrimin
ately the people of the North, heaping
censure and abuse even on those upright
and generous men, who, living at a dis
tance from the South, had voluntarily be
come the defenders of southern rights,
and the eulogists of southern virtue; and
who had successfully repelled the calum
nies, and defeated the projects of the fan
atics. Their course was violent, illiber
al, and unjust; and tended only to evil.
While the abolitionists wickedly press
ed measures, which, if adopted, would
infallibly' lead to a violent rupture of the
Union, the nullifiers most pertinaciously
held ou to the same subject, for the sole
j)iir|Mise, it seems, of aiding to produce
extreme exasperation, and irreconcilable
hatred between the North and the South.
The prudent and patriotic conduct of the
Union members of congress stands in
strong contrast to the criminal policy pur
sued by the nullifiers in that body'. The
Union men performed no act which could
increase the importance, or advance the
schemes of the abolitionists. They ex-
jxised the impositions by which the aboli
tionists endeavored, for effect, to pass
themselves off’as far more numerous than
they really were, by attaching the signa
tures of women and children to their pe
titions. They treated the fanatics as a
wicked faction, bent only on evil, and who
ought not, through the medium of con
gress, to be permitted to intrude their o-
pinions on the American people; and, af
ter long and violent opposition from the
nuIUfiers and abolitionists, they succeed
ed in passing resolutions, which reduced
the abolitionists to silence on this hateful
topic. They treated with kindness and
respect, Beardsly', of New York, who had
hroki n up a convention of abolitionists in
Utica; and other northern men, who, in
their respective communities, had boldly
encountered and defe ated the schemes of
the abolitionists. Their whole course
was well devised to prostrate, and to
keep down the miscreant faction, and to
strengthen, and to multiply the friends to
the constitution, and to southern rights
throughout the northern States. While
opposing the abolitionists with energy,
efficiency, and success, they deemed it
unnecessary, impolitic, and criminal, to
weaken the l nion of the Slates by alien
ating the South from the North, and the
North from the South. Their course was
firm, wise, and virtuous; and they have
proved themselves worthy to be entrust
ed with the care ol these most delicate
and vital interests.
UNITED STATES’ TROOPS IN

two hundred L,7.'ted States regulars, into
Lowndes county', for it? protection of
that and the surrounding couiJtry against
the depredations of Indians. It is u-'.’ri-
cipated, that when operations shall be re
newed in Florida, parties of Creek In

western counties to their ancient homes;
and this force is designed, we learn, as a
preparation for such a state of things.—

Hancock County, September 16, 1836.
Ge.vti.kmkk—The Georgia Journal of
the 13th iitst. contains a communication,
with your names appended, addressed to
myself, in eomrrion with my colleagues,
in which you desire a declaration of opin
ion in regard to certain interrogatories
therein stated. The answer shall be giv
en in the same spirit of frankness, with
which it was sought. Nay, it becomes a
source of satisfaction, that y ou have pre
sented the occasion, upon which 1 inav
make known to the people of Georgia,
the course which I propose to pursue, in
regard to the Presidential election; as
well as the views which I entertain in re
lation to the constitutional power of Con
gress, over the subject of slavery in the
federal district, and the Territories of the
Union. Should my opinions upon these
points, be ratified by' the people in my re-
election to the House of Representatives,
I shall consider myself bound, not only in
good faith, hut as instructed, to sustain
them, until subsequent and unequivocal
devolopemcnts denote a certain change in
their opinions.
The first question put in your address,
is, “will you in the event of the election
of President of the United States, devolv
ing on the House of Representatives, in
the present contest, vote for the candi
date who shall have received the vote of
the Electoral College of the State of Geor
gia, or a majority thereof not only on the
iirst ballotting, but so long as his name
shall be run?”
It is well known, that the great mass
of the people by- whom 1 had the honor
to be chosen as a Representative, were
at the time of the election the decided
friends and supporters of Mr. Van Du
ron for the Presidency'. It must also be
equally clear, that their Representative
must have entertained a community of
sentiment and feeling with them; other
wise their interest would not have been
confided to him. I find myself, therefore,
irresistibly led both bv inclination and du
ty, to support the claims of Mr. Van Bu-
ren for the Presidency, until some sure in
dication is presented, of an alteration of the
public will. 'To sustain that will when
fairly expressed, is, with me, a fixed princi
ple—an unalterable determination—not
withstanding the doctrine lias not only
been questioned, but set at open defiance,
by those who have a sympathy for every
other candidate for the Presidency', in pre
ference to Mr. Van Bureu. On the first
Monday in October next, I shall be pre
sented to the people lor re-election, as the
political friend of Mr. Van Buren. If re-
chosen bv them, no obligation can be
plainer, than to support his cause, until
subsequently and specially instructed to the
contrary. The election of Representa
tives on the first Monday in October, be
ing the first indication of public opinion,
and consequently holding the Represen
tative hound to conform, until some pos
terior act of the people shall show a
change of will.
We come next to consider, how far
and under what circumstances, the result
of the election for Electors, one month
thereafter, should affect the previous aider
of the people, and the conduct of the
Representatives just chosen. The solu
tion of this question will furnish as pre
cise an answer, as I am capable of giv
ing to the above interrogatory. In point
of time, the choice of electors is subsequent
to that of Representatives. For all prac
ticed purposes, the two acts lose their suc
cess') re character, and become concurrent
and simultaneous acts of the people—-just
as much as if both elections were held on
the same day; one month of time being
too short a period, in the ordinary course
of things, to admit of any real change of
the popular will. This view of the sub
ject could only be changed, by a decisive
majority for electors at variance with the
preceding election of Representatives,
which will put casualties, and tlie apathy
of the people to come up to the choice of
Electors, beyond the possibility of a ques
tion. In such an event or any others,
establishing beyond doubt, that the peo
ple have altered their opinions, I shall
most assuredly adhere to the Democratic
principle scorned, and repudiated- by the
friends of Judge Jl hiti—OBE'l OR RE
SIGN! f however strongly' incline to
think, that the latter alternative would
have my preference; for among the sev
eral candidates for the Presidency* I
know of the administration of none which
I could suppoit, judging the future by'
the present, except that of Mr. Van Bu
ren. I never w ill unite with ultra Feder
alists, Nullifiers, Buukitts, and nr tiers oj
Andrew Jackson, in the motley and de
graded policy which inevitably awaits
them!
Having disposed of the first interrogato
ry, we come to the consideration of the
second, which is in the following words.
“Do you believe that the Congress of the
United states, possesses the constitutional
power to abolish slavery in the District of
Columbia , or in any of the Territories of
the United Stales, or in any other manner
whatever, to legislate upon the subject?”
Upon this topic, you might be referred to
my votes, without exception, on the sub
ject of abolition at the last session of Con
gress, in denial of that power. The Con
gress of the Union is hut a legislative body,
on the reverse order of similar bodies, in
the States, possessing only such powers as
arc specially granted; whilst the latter
possess, for all ordinary purposes, all au
thority’ from which they are not restricted.
In respect to the federal district, however,
it is invested with a “power to legislate
in all cases whatsoever.” This general
grant of authority is the basis of all those
opinions in favor of the disputed right.—
But I consider those words to bestow le
gislative power only, and not to affect the
rights of property, which arefundamental.—
The same constitution which makes the ge
neral grant, restricts it by T a guarantee that
“private property' shall not be taken for
public use without just compensation.”—
'flic abolition of Slavery is not such an
u<e 1<; is recognized by'tlie Public Law, or
the ConsliCL’tioil. The Congress of the U-
nited States seems to possess in this par
ticular, the same authority' ov
°r the feder
al district, as the state legislatures ovef their
respective states. Thelatterin my o‘piua;a
have no authority to abolish slavery, un
less it has been specially given. In the ab
sence of such express control, the people
of the state can alone dispose of the sub
ject. The Territories, in my conception
stand upon the same basis as the federal
district But therf is one remaining view
of the whole ground which I cannot avoid
presenting. From the evident connexior,
between the questions propounded, to
gether with the fact, that one oi the XV ri-
ters is an elector upon the White Ti<7“ e f*
and perhaps the others his supporters, u
seems clear that the idea intended to be
conveyed by the communication, that
Mr. Van Buren is barred from the Presi
dency* by the fact of admitting the dispu
ted power, and that a representative who
denies it, acts inconsistently in sustaining his
cause. To those who are disposed to
think either branch of the proposion to be
true, the following extract niav be adduced.
Mr. V an Buren says in bis letter of the
6th March last, to a number of Gentlemen
of North Carolina, who sought his opinion
on the constitutional question,—“Thus
viewing the matter, I would not from the
lights now before me, feel rny’self safe in
pronouncing that Congress docs not pos
sess the power of interfering with, or abol
ishing slavery in the district of Columbia.”
Hear the conclusion. “But whilst such
are my present impressions upon the ab
stract question of the legal power of Con
gress—impressions which I shall, at all
times, be not only ready but disposed
to surrender upon conviction of error,—I
do not hesitate to give it to you, as my de
liberate and well considered opinion, that
there are objections to the exercise of this
power, against the wishes of the slave hol
ding states, as imperative in their nature and
obligation, as the most palpapie want of Con
st! uf tor al power would be.’' Some gentle
men cannot conceive such a case. Let
the following he taken as examples.—
Congress has an unlimited power to raise
taxes. A tax of one hundred dollars upon
each individual, without an adequate em
ergency, would lie equally objectionable as
u the most palpable want e.f Constitutionalperwer
would he." The same may’be said of the
power to declare war, to make treaties, to
raise and support armies, and of every
delegated power abused to an extreme.—
In conclusion, we may say, that Mr Van
Buren’s opinion is that the abolition of
slavery’ in the district of Columbia, would
involve a violation of obligations equally
sacred, with those of the constitution itself.
For one I consider his pledges as ample as
those of Judge Tl kite. I cannot distrust
their redemption. 1 know that his friends
have stood with us in fraternal zeal shoul
der to shoulder, repelling the assaults
of abolition, whilst his opponents, North
of the Potomac, have made speeches
in the halls of Congress in favor of the
fair petitioners and given the petitions in
many respects, a kindly reception. Go
vernor Marcy, the political friend of Mr.
Van Buren, stands a monument of good
iitith to the South, in recommending to the
last legislature of the state of" New York
the suppression of incendiary’ publications,
by penal enactments. If this should ever
be done, it will be by the friends of Mr.
Van Buren—whilst abolition will array’
its black banners against it. He is not
their idol—but rather the subject of their
vituperation and polilitical abhorrence.—
Let the manifesto of Arthur Tuppan and
his coadjutors declare, when they recom
mend the choice of u am/ other candidate.”
It after these facts, gentlemen will still de
liver themselves over to doubt, and gloo
my shadows on the subject of abolition, so
far as Mr. Van Buren is concerned, they
would seem to be infested with a malady
for which “no cure can he found in the re
sources of reason and argumentation.”
I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, with
very great respect, vour obedient servant,

THOMSON IAN MEETING.
Pursuant to previous notice, the Talbot and
Merriwether counties Botanic society met at
Macedonia church in the county of Merriwether,
<>n the 10th September, 1336, und adopted the
following preamble and constitution:
Whereas the Medical law of Georgia, passed
in the ) ear 1823, hy the influence of a monopo
lizing class of men, contrary to the wishes and
best interest of the people, imposing upon the ci
tizens without their consent, a law uncalled for
by them, depriving them of iheir constitutional
and natural rights to choose their own physicinn,
one in whom they have the utmost confidence,
curing their diseases without being forced to
swallow the most deadly poisons known in the
whole material world; and whereas a great
number of the citizens of Georgia have |>etilion-
cd to the Legislature for the last four years, to
restore to them their natural and constitutional
rights to choose their own physicians, and that
such physicians should be exempt from the pains
and disabilities of the medical law of Georgia;
and whereas their petitions and prayers have
been treated with contempt, to the dissatisfac
lion of the citizens, and great injury to the life,
health and happiness of the community, com
pelling them by law to employ physicians in
whom they have no confidence, dealing in all
manner of poisons to remove disease; where
by we are compelled to swallow poisons of the
rankest dye, or struggle under the violence of
disease without the assistance of remedies; and
whereas the Botanic System has been clearly
and correctly proven to the satisfaction of every
unprejudiced mind, far superior iu removing dis.
eases, over that of the old practice; and whereas
the most learned and honest members belonging
to the regular medical faculty, have spoken
highly in favor of the Botanic System, declar
ing the superiority of its remedies in removing
disease,
Resolved, That the members of this society
consider the medical law of this State, a flagrant
infringement of civil liberty, a tyranical impo
sition upon the citizens, an unwarrantable pri
vation of one of the greatest blessings ever be
stowed upnn man, and a base violation of the
natural and constitutional rights of the pe.op!e.

CHOLERA.—This disease, if proper-
I v managed, is no more to be feared than
a common col:!; by far less to be dreaded
than the ag io and fever. Provide your
selves with a supply ol the Thomsonian
Medicines, and you have nothing to fear.
Call at the Botanical shop opposite the
Citadel, or at the one opposite the Circular
Church, and purchase a bottle of Anti-
Cholera fK'rtip, a sritall vial of the 3d
preparation, and a bottle of No. 6 r and
you may defy the disease in all its forms.
Should our friends living at a distance
from Thomsonian Physicians be visited

Pepper and Brandy freely—or if that can
not readily be obtained, use red pepper
tea, or pepper sauce, until the patient is
thrown into a perspiration. By no man
ner of means use Calomel in any form;
nor indeed any of the recipes with which
our daily papers have recently been filled,
without sending for the cabinet-maker to
take your measure for a coffin. The dis
ciples of Thomson have never lost a case
of Cholera when they have been called
previous to the patient’s being in a state
of collapse. We make no invidious com
parisons; nor do we make these remarks
from any prejudice or ill-will to the Fac
ulty generally; it is not because we love
them less, but the lives and health of our
neighbors more, that wc have alluded to
the subject at all.—Charleston Southern
Evangelist, 10th instant.
Cholera on the Plantations.—An en
dorsement on the Way Mail from North
Santee says—“Two cases of Chole
ra on Col'. T. Pinckney’s plantation,
South Santee—both dead.
A letter received from South Santee,
states that six cases had occurred at Col.
Pinckney’s plantation, fourofwhich termi
nated in death—the other two under treat
ment.—Charleston Patriot, loth instant.
Direct Trade with Boston.—Wc are glad
to see that a direct trade with Boston, has
l>cen commenced by our enterprizing fel
low-citizens, Hawes, Mitchell and Col
lins. The fine schooner Ricnzi, from
Boston, Berry, master, is the pilot on this
occasion. We hope she will soon be fol
lowed by others, who cannot fail to re
alise profit by the adventure.—Darien
Tclegiaph.
Tennessee Volunteers.—These brave men
have at length arrived. And a handsomer,
braver, anti well mounted set of troops,
wc never have seen. They are composed
principally of the yeomanry of Middle and
West Tennessee, together with some of
the most distinguished individuals in that
State. They are encamped about six
miles east of the city. They have come
most opportunely to save Middle Flo
rida from the scene and carnage which
has been the unhappy lot of the eastern
portion of our territory': our citizens who
had volunteered to defend the frontier,
and whose term of service having ex
pired, were returning to their homes to
look after their neglected crops, and to
recruit themselves after four months’
hardship and fatigue; and the newly rais
ed forces were yvholly inadequate to de
fend the frontier on the Suwannee, fre
quent inroads having been made in Jeffer
son count}' by the savages, who have
left sad traces behind. By the acquisition
of the Tennesseeans, together with the
regulars and friendly Indians, we hope
to be enabled, not only to defend our
selves, but to carry the war into Africa,
and teach Oseola a different lesson from
the one he had last spring.
We are not acquainted with the precise
time yvhen the forces will commence
offensive operations, but presume it will
be shortly. Governor Call has been con
fined to his room for the past week, but
we are happy to state, is now convalescent
General Read, yve are sorry to hear, is
also seriously indisposed.—Floridian, 11th
instant.
From the Arkansas Gazette, 30th iili.
The Western Frontier.—The requisition
of General Arbcckle on our State for
troops, is not based on any idea or fear,
as yve are informed, of meditated hos
tilities by the Indians against the whites
at all—but is altogether in anticipation of
disturbances among the Creeks and Cher-
okees, themselves, as to the rival claims
of Holy M'Intosh and Nea Mathla to the
Chieftainship of the tribe. This contest
looks as if it would be fierce, and not
ended without much disturbances and
bloodshed. General A. only yvishes to be
prepared, as we understand it, for any
emergency.
The Governor and aids left this place
on Thursday last, for the South, and
expect to overtake our Volunteers at
Washington, Hempstead county. The
troops will then proceed to Fort Towsori,
where they will be armed atnd equipped,
and ordered from thence across the coun
try to Fort Gibson. No one Seems for a
moment to entertain the idea thai these'
troops will be required on our Mexican
frontier*
The Creeks and Chcrokees.—We learn,
by a letter from an intelligent gentleman
residing in one of the Indian nations yvest
of Arkansas, that
“The Indian errantry, at this time, is
in a state of considerable excitement.—
The Creeks and Chcrokees have held a
secret council, at which, it is believed,
they formed an allutncc, to sustain the
present Creek Chief, Roly M’Ixtosh, in
authority, against the claims of Nea
Mathla, who was the second Chief of
all the Creeks east, and is noyv at the
head of a numerous band of his people,
approaching their new countiy west. A
great National Ball play took place, a few
days ago, in a remote part of the Chero
kee nation, where, it is supposed, their
plans were developed to the great body
of the Cherokee people. But nothing has
as yet happened, or is likely to happen,
to disturb the slumbers of the good peo
ple of Arkansas.”
New Orleans, September 15.
From Texas.—We have this moment
learned by an arrival from Galveston,
Texas, the following information from
that quarter. The election there has re
sulted in the elevation of Houston to the
Presidency, and Lamar to the Vice Presi
dency. Another attempt, which proved
unsuccessful, has been made by a Span
iard, of the name of Paves, to rescue San
ta Anna. Upon being examined, he stat
ed that he was employed for the purpose
by the Mexican Consul of this city; this,
however, is doubtless void of all founda
tion.
The armed Texian schooner Terrible
had taken several Mexican prizes, which
were sent in for adjudication.
The Texian army, of about 3000
strong, had removed their encampment tet
the OurtH^i rtc$f Matagorda #av.

ton, to
i, (Texas.) Au,
Fnrltmuion from General Samuel '
the Citizens of Tiatae.
From reports which have reached me, I am
induced lo believe that our situation is unsafe;
some Chcrokees with the native Castilians, have
returned to the Cherokee village from Mata*
moral, and aay that the Indians of the prairie
and a Mexican force are about to attack this
portion of Texas. The counties of San Augus.
tine, Sabine,- Tanahaw and Beval, as well .-is
Nacogdoches, Will forthwith organise the mili.
tia of each county. The following requisitions
are made to sustain the United States’ force at
this place, until reinforcements can arrive at
this place from general Gaines, viz:
Sixty .four from San Augustine, fifty-six from
Tanahaw, fifty .six from Sabine and thirty .three
from Bevel. The troops will repair to this
place with the least possible delay, and report
to the commanding general as soon as they
arrive.
This Call is made through the Judges or the
several counties, and must be regarded as the
law of the land; the troops will only be detained
a few days, so soon as general Gaines can send
reinforcements to this place they will be dis-
charged.
Let arms and amunition be brought; at least
one hundred rounds are requested. The com-
mander-in.chief will be with the freemen of
Texas. If they have to meet an enemy, nil the
men of Texas must have their arms in older—
to have liberty, we must be watchful.
SAMUEL HOUSTON,
Commander-in-Chief.
Maryland.—The Washington Globe asserts
that there is a majority of three thousand in
Maryland in favor of the Van Buren Ucket, and
adds, “that the opposition having carried their
Senate by a majority of two, is attributable to
that inequality of representation in the State
which gives to Cahert, with little more than
three thousand citizens, two representatives
in the body appointing the senators, and Balti
more, with upwards of sixty.one thousand, only
one representative. This system, which
makes three equal to sixty, does not exist in
presidential elections. The State votes by gen-
eral ticket, and we have scarce a doubt that the
majority of three thousand in favor of the Van
Buren senatorial electors will bo augmented in
that for presidential electors.”

FTEK the adjournment of the Court, the member* of
the Bar convened in the court-house for the purpose
of making arrangement* preparatory to ihc expression ol the
' ding* which i
melancholy feeling*
liber of t
lausl and do pervade every
member ol the Bar of the Coweta Circuit, in relation lo the
afflicting dispensation of Divine Providence manifested in ilie
death of our worthy friend and brother, NATHANIEL
BLANCHARD Es«.
On motion of Colonel Bailey, the Honorable Hiram
Waxneb wo* called to the Choir, and John D Steli. ap
pointed Secretary
On motion ofColonel Bailey, the Chair proceeded to ill-
appointment of a committee to prepare and report (at a sub
aequent meeting) a suitable preamble and reaolutious, con
listing of Messrs. Bailey, Alford and Latham.
On motion of Colonel Alford, the meeting adjourned until
tomorrow morning, 8 o’clock.
Wednesday Morning. 8 o’clock.
The meeting assembled pursuant to adjournment, and,
being duly organized, the following preamble and resolutions
were submilted by the committee, and unanimously adopt-
edjVil:
When death rats off a human being, die living are re-
minded of the uncertain tenure of life, amt the certainty of
their dwn approaching end; and thia ot itself is well calcu
lated to cast a gloom over the brightest joys of earth, lint
when a companion, a man of inielligenre, virtue and philan
thropy, and who. in his life, exhibited a pattern of every
manly virtue to the rising generation, and a professional cha
racter adorfied by learning, integrity and an honorable
courtesy, U adddriily arrested by the hand of death, those
w ho survive feel U sorrow that nothing earthly can appease:
they feel that man, fn his highest excellence, if but a flower
of the field, that all must wither, all must die, and that we
can only hold up tho bright mantle of the virtuous dead,
that the living, while they mourn, may look and imitate the
virtues of the departed. Such, such are the feelings of the
members of the Bar who attend the Coweta Circuit, ou
hearing the lamented death of our departed brother, NA-
THANIEL BLANCHARD. Therefore,
Resolved, That the members of this Bar have heard of
the death of our respected Brother BLANCHARD*
with the moat painful feelings of sorrow.
Resolved, That, while in life, our brother sustained the
character of an able, honorable and virtuous member of the
Bar.
Resolved, That, in the dMlh of Ur. BLANCHARD,
the Bar baa lust a valuable member, who adorned it by hi*
teeming and virtues, and tliecomraunity, in which he lived,
one of the most useful and virtuous citizens.
Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with bis distant
friends and relatives, in our and their common aflliiling loss
Resolved, Thai these resolutions tie signed hy the Chair
man, and countersigned hy tho Secretary, and entered on
the minutes of this Court, and that they he pfuhihhni in tlie
Journal and Federal Union at Milledgeville, and that a co
py thereof be transmitted, hy mail, to the paternal family of
