to riot on our delicate and complex system of
government. The gates of Rome must be dos

The Bill giving rid to the Brunswick A Flor

taken up this morning. Mr. Dunnagan moved
to roeonsidor Judge Baxter’s amendment, lost
on Saturday, which proposed submitting toe
question of Stole aid to the people at the next
Presidential election. Nearly the whole morn
lag Wat spent in debate consequent on Mr. D.’s

The Senate then took up a bill which pro
vides that toe Supreme court shall hold its sit

whereupon the Senate resawed the considera

Roads should be sold below par, no more bonds
should thereafter issue to the company so sol*

Judge Cone offered an amendment, but after

below par shall not bind too State. Tbe Jadge

Proscription practiced by onr Fore-Fath
ers.
In the Act of the Legislature of Georgia,
passed on the7th February, 1785, it is provided
that an alien may become a citizen, “who has
residsd at least twelve months in the same, and
after the expiration thereof, doth obtain from
the grand jury of the court, where he resides,
a certificate, purporting that he hath demeaned
himself as^an honest man, and friend to the
government Ofthe State,” and upon his having
Caid certificate duly recorded, and taking the
Oath of allegiance.
Fqr toe benefit and Instruction of some dem
agogues, who would confer upon all foreigners
our inestimable privileges, as pearls are cast
before swine, only to be trampled in toe dust,
we copy, the third section of the act entire:
Provided always, and be it enacted by the
authority aforesaid,. That no such person (ali
en boro, thus made a citizen) shall bo a mem
ber of the Generai- Assembly or the executive
council, or hold any office of trust or profit, or
vote, for members of the General Assembly for
the term of seven years, and «itf <7 the Legisla
ture shall, by special act for that purpose, ena
ble such person so to do. And provided also,
that all such aliens, or persons aforesaid, shall
be subject aad liable to pay such alien duties
as have been heretofore, or may hereafter be
imposed by toe Legislature.”
So we see that although an alien might be
admitted to citizenship and enjoy all toe pro*
tection of onr laws and institutions, yet was he
not entitled to honors and profits of office, nor
to exercise that actof sovereignty, to vote, un
til after a residence of seven years from the
time of taking the oath of all allegiance, nor
even then, except by special act in his behalf.—
Theoriginal act can be found in the old Digest
of Watkins, at page 303. Several of these spe
cial ants, naming the individual, may bb found
in the same volume—page 305, 307, 308, 340,
362,^nd on page 379 Alexander H. Stephens,
among others by special act, to all the rights
and privilege* of citizenship. Was this the
progenitor of our illustrious Congressman, the
Hon. Alexander Hamilton Stephens ? Whom
perhaps it would require another special act to
make a good citizen of.
We submit to gentlemen of the legal profes
sion, how mueh of the act' of 1785, and what
parts of it aro repealed by the 8tb Section of
the 1st Article of the Constitution of the United
8totes which confers upon Congress the right
“to establish a uniform role of naturalization.”

Opinion of a Northern Press.
The New York Evining Mirror tons alludes to
toe present disturbances, in Kansas:
The Abolition War Begun !—Tho virgin soil
of Kansas is stained with the blood of its citi
zens. The Abolition-fanatics and vagabonds,
wbo have been sent out by societies of organ
ized traitors against the Union, have at last
committed toe overt act, and a civil war is be
gun. Witfaoat entering into the abstract ques
tion, whether it Is right or wrong for white men
to own black men, we have now olny to look
at the simple feet, that Slaves are Pbofer-
TT.
The Missourians are fighting for their prop
erty ; and in this they have as much right to
claim toe protection ofthe Federal Government
as if they wece fighting for tbe purses in tbeir
pockets, the horses in tbeir .stables, or the food
and plate upon tbeir tables. On the other band
the Abolitionists ars blustering and murdering,
not in self defence—not to protect any tangible
rights—but merely for an abstraction of doubt
ful equity, and of which' tooy really care but
little or nothing beyond tbe present notoriety
and the future political consequence it may
give them.
We do not justify all the acts of the Pro-Sla
very men of Missonri; but inasmuch as we res
pect a man who stands ready to defend hi* prop
erty with J>ie life, in foe bloody business, our
sympathies are decidedly against tbe Aboli
tionists. And we hope they will get such a dose
of pills from tbe muzzles of Federal muskets as
will silence tbeir Anti-Slavery and treasonous
clamor to tbe sod of Time.

The bountiful crops and almost unpreoeden

There is one praotiee in vogue among too

of investing money which one owes. This,

Kansas Difficulties.
There is at present, an intense excitement,
in some-sections, and a deep and thrilling in
terest everywhere throughout the length and
bTeadth of our beloved coontry, in regard to
tbe difficulties in the Territory of Kansas.
These troubles, all have their origin in the
bigoted folly, illiberality, and narrow minded
ness of freesoil fanaticism; and since that the
issue, which has been made in Kansas between
lreesoil and slavery, was not properly provi
ded for in tbe Bill organizing it as a Territory,
the South should so act ss to maintain tbe
character she has so nobly sustained in past
emergencies, of high toned Statesmanship, lib
erality and genuine conservatism. The South
should fearlessly and patriotically maintain her
rights, but not suffer herself to be provoked,
by any meanness of her opponents, to any
indiscretion or wrong course of conduct.
If civil war ensues the awful responsibility
rests with those Emigrating Societies of the
Eastern States which undertook, by artificial
means, to change the natural tide of emigration
and thereby accomplish the double purpose of
ridding themselves of a surplus population,
restive, lawless, worthless and dangerous to
the welfare of the community; and at the
same time gratify—as they hoped, and as the
sequel bas shown with poo much reason—their
envy, by crippling tbe growing prosperity of
tbeir Southern neighbors.
Tbe course pursued by these Societies was
underhanded and in exceeding bad faith to
wards the South. A false stimulus was given
to emigration, and sectional and political pre
judices were appealed to still large numbors,
swayed rather by a spirit of fanaticism, than
by a proper regard for thoir individual interests,
joined in to swell tbo “crowd for Kansas,
^Thcre is one fact in regard to the “ material”
sent, by these Societies to Kansas, out of which
citizens were to bo manufactured by a very
summary process, that ought to receive a
psssing notice ; and that is, that their prima
ry^ object was to sond tbo large importations
of foreign paupers and criminals; and tho
“ squatter sovereignty,” by its magical power,
would, in a jiffy, after landing in tho territory
make good Democrats of them all. This was
regarded as a “ Democratic move” and the
“Chicago Democrat,” a leading Pierce paper,
says: “ Tho same Democratic principles which
make as detest slavery, make us anxious for a
healthy foreign (migration os tbe boat means
of getting rid of it.
Tbe action of those societies induced the
citizens of Missouri to adopt moasures for coun
teraction, and thus step by step the sectional
strife' bat procoodcd till tho true patriots of all
sections look upon it with fearful forebodings.
Blood bas alrtady beon spilled, and it is to be
feared that Kansas is abont to bocome toe thca
tre of a sanguinary strugglo. Tho flames of
intestine war, lighted op in one corner of the
Union, will, if not suppressed, spread to other
points of oootaet where the materials can be
found for a pro-slavery and an Anti-slavory
conflict—sectional prejudices Hid strifes will bo

The Field of ’56
Tho Presidential track is clear for the race
of 1850; and the time to bring out tho candid
ates draw* near. Tho American Party, by
tbeir recent triumphs, have placed themselves in
a position to win an easy victory. A glorious
opportunity opens before them. Let wise coun
sel prevail, and the strong Republican element
of Protestant Americanism may now be eleva-'
ted and inaugurated os the ruling spirit of tho
Union. But too new party must speedily divest
itself of those dements of weakness—Oaths
and Secrecy ; and cultivate a more Christian
toleration towards all religious sects—which do
not admit of any human supremacy over the
State.
Romanism is scarcely deserving of tbo name
of religion. It is simply a Secret Order, strug
gling subtly and unscroupulously for temporal
power, and using the sacred name of Christ as
a cloak for its sins. It is for this reason that
we oppose it, that we protest against it, and
that wo regard its active Jesuitical agents as
disqualified for tbe discharge of the executive
offices of the Republic. There is a system of
espionage and proselyteisin connected with
this powerful hierarchy, that renders the whole
system of Romanism incompatible with Re
publicanism. It is based upon tbe ignorance
^nd superstitions of the masses; and crowned
by the loro of ritual splendor and easy absolu
tion among the vainer, wicked and wealthier
classes.
There is not a word spoken against Romanism
at a dinner table in'New York, overheard by
Catholic waiters, that may not be repeated at
tfie Vatican, if the Poposo wishes it The ser
vant behind your chair tells, the Priest at the
Confessional, the Priest tells the Bishop, tbe
Bishop tells tbo Cardinal, and the Cardinal tells
tbo Pope. The wholo system is one wide whis
per gallery; and its tyranny ever has been,
and always will bo, commensurate with its pow
er. Therefore, every honest friend of Freedom
and Humanity must boldly protest against it.
The Nationality of tbo American Party must
be tbe main pillar of its support.
It must lcaro tbe cursed question of Slavery
where the Constitution has confined it—a do
mestic institution, entirely under the control
of the individual States. Then let them bring
ont good men for office—groat men for great
offices, and honest men for all offices, and all
the powers of their adversaries, “ with tbe de
mons down nnder the sea,” cannot provont
them from sweeping tbe fiold in 1856.
Among tbe prominent candidates for tbe
Presidency, we may mention Crittenden and
Morehead, of Kentucky; Fillmore and Law,
of New York; Bates of Missouri; and Chouto
and Everett, of Massachusetts. On tbe Presi
dential ticket, tbe candidates should represent
both the North and tbe South, and both of the
old political parties.—AT. Y. Slirrw

er place, at an improper time, or in mixed com
pany. Never make assertions about her that
yon think are untrue, or allusions that you feel
she herself would blush to hear. When yen
meet with men that do not scrnple to make
nse of a woman’s name in a reckless and un
principled manner, shun them, for they are
tho very worst members of tho community—
men lost to every sense of honor—every feel
ing of hnmamity. Many a good and worthy
woman’s character has been forever rained, and
her heart broken by' a lie, manufactured by
some villi&n, and repeated where it should not
have beon, and in the presence of thoso whose
little judgment could not deter them from cir
culating the foul and bragging report. A slan
der is soon propagated, and the smallest thing
derogatory to a woman’s character will fly on
tho wings of tbe wind, and magnify as it circu
lates until its monstrous weight crushes tbe
poor unconscioas victim. Respect the name
of woman, for your mother and sister are wo
men; and as you would have their fair name
untarnished, and their lives nnembittered by
tho slanderer’* biting tongue, heed the ill that
your own words may bring upon tbe mothor,
the sister, or tbe wife of some follow creature.’

Abolition—Again.
The leaders and presses ofthe anti-American
party in this State having with such pertinacity
repeated and rctiterated the charge of Aboli
tionism against the American party, as to delude
great numbers of honest voters—for they all
“played on a harp uv a (Aou-sand strings”-—we
are determined to do what we can to undeceive
them. In order to do this, we publish “line
upon Jino and precept upon precept”—in order
that, if the voters of Georgia are determined to
“believe a lie,” it shall not be for lack of infor
mation on the subject.
To this end we copy the following explicit
declaration from tbe National Era of the 29th
nit. As this paper is the recognised national
organ of the Black Republicans, Free Soilers
and Abolitionists of the Upited States, we pre
sume that no man with a thimble full of brains
will dare question its right to speak authorita
tively for tbe anti-SIavery or Abolition party.
Under the head of' No Man Can Serve Two
MuiW.—K«» /,<uL** in. t.hp above named issue
of that paper—in which the Editor undertakes
to demonstrate the absurdity of'tfie idea oFariii-
Slavery men acting with tbe American party
with a hope of ad vancing their cause—we find
the following distinct and emphatic declara
tions :
“The Know.Notbing Party is as distinct from
the Republican in.ita objects and.organization,
as from the Administration Pnrty, and just as
much opposed to one. as the other. Its para
mount objects are, to protract the period of
naturalization to twenty-one years, and to ex
clude from office foreign born citizens and
Catholics. * * * • *
“The Know Nothing Party makes this ob
ject paramount—It seeks power, for tbe purpose
of securing them. It is not an Anti-Slavery
Party, does not seek Anti-Slavery objects ; -if*
triumph will not be the triumph of Anti Slavery
cause. On the contrary, it is as much an an
tagonist of tbe Republican Party, as the admin
istration is ; wherever it increases, jRepnhlican-
ism decreases ; every one . of its triumphs in
volves as much the defeat of Republicanism ss
Administrationism; no one of its triumphs
paves the way for a union of the people against
the Slave Power, or weakens the adherents of
that Interest ; on the contrary, they all tend
to protract and widen the division of the free
States.
“It follows' that no man can be a Know Noth
ing and a Republican, any more than be can
be a Democrat and a Whig, or a Pro-Slavery
and an Anti-Slavery politician. Neither the
terms nor the things are convertible.”
Now, we will submit to tbe oandor of ati
moderately honest men to say where (aside from
tho leaders of the Anti-American Spoils party
of Georgia) an individual can be. found out
side the walls of a lunatic asylum, so great
an-ass, or so utterly lost to all sense of-truth,
honor and decency, as to repeat the ent-and-
dried, stereotyped LIE. that there is any con
nection whatever between Americanism and
Abolitionism.—Athens Watchman.

that proposifoins have been snbmtttted to Na

ablyoecepUd, namely:—that Russia will eon
elude a peace with the Western Powers without
the intervention of either Austria or Prnsssia;

Wh.o arc the Proscribers ?
It is a favorite emplyment with the Anti-
Amorican newspapers to chnrgo the American
Party with proscription, and this tco, in the
face of facts which proclaim that party as the
most unscrupulously -prescriptive which bas
ever existed in the country. They are savage
ly intolerant of opposition. They look upon
the members of the American Party as ogres,
who should be driven without tbe precincts of
civilization. To retain, an American in office
when they have the power to eject him, is,
with them, an unpardonable violation of tho
laws of papty fealty. These men who prate in
puling strains about proscription for opinion's
sake, would not let the sun go down on an
American officer iLthey had toe power to dis
miss him from it And yet, with shameless
effrontery, they make the welkin ring with the
wolf-cry of proscription. American citisons,
jealous of their liberties, and impelled by a
high senso of patriotic duty, cannot assemble
and quietly resolve among themselves that they
will not support for office men whose circum
stances of birth and rearing render it impossi
ble that they should understand and appreciate
our institetions, without being denounced as
traitors and conspirators, men who come as
“thieves in the night” to stoal away tbe liber
ties of the country.

A Notable Fact.
The elections for the past two years have de
monstrated this remarkable fact—that the Am
erican party bas exhibited its greatest strength
in those very localities where foreigners and
Catholics are the most numerous. .It would
seem most reasonably that this party would be
struck down.’where there was the most opposi
tion. Bnt toe reverse has been the ease with
scarcely an exception. In Maryland and
California, and in all the large oities where
.the balk ofthe foreign and Catholie population
resides, tho American party .has acheived its
most splendid victories—while in the Southern.
States, and in rural districts, where there is
little admixture of the foreign elements, onr
party bas Ready always failed of success.
The reason of it is plain, and constitutes one
of tbe strongest arguments -for. the' necessity of
the organization. Communities which do not
feel, and have.notdaily evidence, of, the dan
ger arising from fereign Infidence, cannot and
do not appreciate it. They see no danger - to
themselves, and hence they reject the princi-
pies ofa party which undertakes, to correct' an
evil of which they are not' personally sensible.
Hence the failure of the American party, in
secluded districts of the country. On the con
trary, in cities where the violence, tho insubor
dination, tbe recklessness and the radicalism
of the foreign population is daily patent , to tho
senses, the American party obtains its greatest
triumphs. It is the-presence of an evil which
makes men quick to remove -it The -absence
of it takes away the stimulus to- exertion, and
weakens too efforts of those who would or-
rest it.
Wo repeat that this is one of tho strongest
arguments for the necessity of the party. A
man will take medioino only when disease has
seized upon his vitals. In the enjoyment of
health, ho rejects the medioaments ofthe phy
sician, and defers any preparation for the foture.
Bnt an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of
core—and it may well be considered whether it
is not tho part of prudence to guard against the
insidious approaches of disease, before its actu
al presence warns ns of danger, and threatens
our speedy dissolution.—-Afotiono/Americon.
