IppJ als yesterday unanimously reversed, the
decision of Judge Bay, requiring an uuth of
allegiance to the State, in addition to the oath
of fidelity to (he Federal. Constitution, as a
condition of admission to citizenship. It will
be recollected wliat a handle Was made of
Judge Bay’s decision,, by the Mercury,
and the nuilifiers generally, during the last
State elections, to pursuade adopted citizens
that their primary allegiance was due to the
State. It was in vuinrUmi Wet contended, that
the oath of allegiance to the State was required
without warrant of law—that it Was an inter
polation into the law of naturalization— r the
Mercury could not be convinced, because it
tcoulcl not. The,highest judicial tribunal in
our Sta'te has now however settled beyond
further caval, that foreigners may now become
citizens of our . great and glori us republic,
without other pledge of their allegiance than to
the Constitution of the United States—in
which we readily a^mi:, is implied and inclu
ded fidelity to each and every State in.the U-
uion, in which tiiey may happen to reside, in
ail matters not conflicting with the “supreme
law of-thc land,” to which they have pledged
their faith by a solemn appeal to Heaven.
It may also be m irked that as the appeal
court have now unanimously decided that a
foreigner, by simply taking an oath to support
the Federal Constitution, may becotno “a cit
izen of the United States,” it is time that the
nullifiers.should begin to suspect that “there is
such a ihingr strictly sparking, as a citizen of
the Unite l States.”—char. Lieu.

Tifo following extract of a letter, from one
who was at Washington} when Clay’s bill was
passed, ami in ;i situation to inspitc confidence
in what fee says, will help the nullifiers to the
decision of tho question, (about which they dif
fer s irvidely among themselves,-) whether that
measure is to them a victory or not.
“I'Ir. Calhoun,” says the writer,' “would
have been pleased to have voted against the
amendments offered by Mr. Clay, by direction
of the Committee, but with the expectation
that they would he carried, and then to have
voted for the bill, as anicndi d, on its passage.
He mas told huircvtr, that unless the details
mere supported by him, thc.bi/l would be laid
upon the table and he must abidt the conse
quences. Whatever may be said after their
return fo S; uth Carolina, when they were at
Washington, the nullifying gentlemen were ex
tremely anxious for the passage rif Mr. Clay’s
bill, and they voted for amendments which ap
peared to us to be an abandonment of the prin
ciples they Ilk] befyro maintained.”—ib
asceumued^allthe public accounts and vouchers
relating to the receipt and disbursment of the
public moneys have been saved;
“It is understood that the fire was discover
ed at half past 2 o’clock pn .Sunday, morning,
by a person accidently passing. The flame
was first seen issuing from the windows of the
room on the upper floor adjoining the centre
projection, on the-riorth front. The alarm was
immediately given; and by great exertions on
the part of the Secretary and other public offi
cers, as well as on the part pf the- citizens gener
ally, wlio seemed to lake an equal interest in
tiie matter, the most important-part of the pub
lic papers were preserved] The puplip. rec
ords arid documents, being die chief objects of
solicitude, the principal and earliest efforts were
made lor their preservation. *'
“The manner in wiiiclj the fire-originated,
has not been ascertained. The. necessary-
measures have, however, been taken to obtain
information on the subject, and, as soon as the
result is known; it La communicated to our
readers. It ; ppears that the messehger, yjjiose
turn i> was to watch, w as absent, from sickness,
iiud that the person who usually sleeps in the
building, was not aware of the fire until he
was awakened from the oqlside.
“The Secretary has, .with great proiriptness,
engaged several contiguous houses opposite to
Strother’s Hotel, for the usl of the - Treasury:
the public books and papers have already been
removed to them; and the. business of the De
partment will be transacted there today as u-

JOHN BULL’S opinion; •
YYc call tho attention of tho reader to the
following article, taken from the Lynchburg
Vur^Uiiati: .
“Brin’s London Weekly Messenger is a
strong advocate for nullification ami recession,
auiTis uugitnJy pleased that tiie “Legislature
ot \ irgmj.i expressed an opinion favorable t-
Carolina.” . it ' tiiuks.tiiiU each slate is at lib
erty to withdraw iruia the .iuiou and to dis
solve its coiificctiou as one of me firm of Ba
ring & Go. may at any ihue leave such firm, and
set up an independent establishment ol'his own.”
1 tiuuk you, Mr. Bull, ior your opinion; wnicii
may L;e disinterest, d, bui which, coming from
such a source, you will excuse us lor receiving
with u little suspicion. Our Union lias long
L-oei. au eye-sore to our stepmother, and it may
be ail uncharitable judgment, but we rather
tank, sue would not sfic-d many even croco
dile te n, were it sundered tomorrow.—But to
proem u* ITm Loudon Messenger, calculating
lUw chances ol civil war, ados—‘‘Flanked by

Mr. Kelley thinks that the. enterprise in
which he and hundreds ol others are engaged
oilers a desirable and good .way of promoting
individual happiness, and of sustaining the in
terests ol our country, aud the cause of human
ity. Hq denounces, as a palpable falsehood
the story which has of late circulated through
the public prints, that the expeditions which
■Lifted last spring lor the Columbia river, were
destroyed by the Indians on the Rocky Moun
tains. L' « tLrs recently received, testify to
tjicir-safe arrival, and trial they suffered hut
iitilc inconvenience, and no disaster, except
ing that two men of twelve descrtcrs.froui Capt
Wytlfs company, were massacred by the Black
foot Indians; [a lesson to all others, never tb
desert a good.cause.] The recent story, that
the Pawnee Indians, who lived on the diract
route to the Above interesting country, arc hos
tile to whrte’roen, is likewise false and has
deceived the' public.
Both of-these.stories, Mr. Kelley alleges,
were tabfii-at d lor the purpose of detering
emigration across the RoCky Mountains, and
preventing a settlement being made, which, in
its just and important operations will of course,
break up our profitable monopolies in the fur
trade.
We know nothing of the justness of
Kelley’s statements, but deem it right to
pres -nt-them to the public. An American
settlement once well established on .the Colum
bia river, at its •month, would no doubt be of
for talents, and is probably the first man in the
Ptuinylvania delegation,-so fai* os native ability
is concerned. He is a firm friend.of the Presi
dent. but yet is half gone over to the flitllifiers.—

On Saturday last, Afiu Elizabeth, daughter of

infant's death was as v siuguiar as tho circumstan
ces were destressing, Some time ou Fridays it
is not kuo\yn at wliat hour,-having by some means
got hold of a box of percussion caps, slip swallow
ed tin unknown number of them, 25 of which
were afterwards brought up by an emetic. That
event furnished the first evidence of what was on
her stomach. amLit was then too late for rcmtqy,
Her subsequent agonies were the dreadful con
sequences of so deadly a poison as antimony mid
the other ingredients of the fulfuiualing powder
contained iu the caps.
Ou the contrary, should the Governor have tli re
release previous to the withdrawal of the p.-oce;-
against the ^t.'ilr, it surely, would have been a
subject for cetisn/c Hy any frnenif Georgia.—
But that profundity of prudenee and discretion
that has always characterized his excellency, the
Governor, as u statesman And devoted, friend tc
the often assailed rights of the State, prompted
him towithhold 'mercy uiuil the offeuck-rs had in
humility an 1 penitence presented themselves to
his —xcolldncy. Aud in this only olficiaL.agt, at
which amurmur has ever been utt- r:d, we approve,
and protest against the belief of the design..lyhieh
some few* malcontents have imputed to him,.that
is tho fear of meeting tho exigency of t ie last re
sort, “force.” Although we hold with the saying
of one of the wise, “Sufficient unto he day la
the evil thereof.” for should the Governor have
deemed a clash with the Federal Court like to
result from a continuance of ih“ detention of ’be
missionaries, prudenee must have taught that it
is the duty of all public functionaries to steer our
ship free from storm and injury if possible.

edgments of this .bedv to his honor. Judge

Dr. Bartlett,—In compliance with the request
of the '^eorgia Agricultural Society, communica
ted by you in Jauuary last, J hero furnish yon a
very brief account of the method pursued !>. me
in raising silk worms, aud preparing the silk ex
hibited at the last fair of the Society, I kuow
so.very little eu the subject, that nothing hut mi
entire willingness to contribute that little, to ad
vance Ih;.- patriotic object of your association
would have induced ms to trouble you with this.
In 1831,1 fed-12000 worms, (they were the
Grst I had attempted to raise) which produced
a little over thirty five pounds of cocoou^, besides
what were reserved for the production of eggs.—
Last spring, owing to uegject, my worms bad
hatched aud most of them died before I observed
them, aiid it was then so early that I could ob
tain no tnulbcrrv leaves to feed them on, and had
to tisc lettuce the first three or four da] s. 1 placed
llifc. worms ou a table covered with paper, and
strewed over them a moderate quantity ot. the
leaves tcleaii find. Tree froifi wet) cut or broken
it.tosin .il pieces, four times a day. Every third
or fourth day they were removed to a clean place
(gradually enlarging the space as they increased
u size, j* and the litter swept off." After the Prst
twelve td fourteen days; the leaves were given
whole ; or cvei; ot't branches a f« ot or more long,
which I think better, as tho leases do not wither
so soon, aud if will also save mtich'trine and trou
ble iu distributing them. After the first three
weeks they were not fed any particular number
of tiinc.'i, but file leaves .were supplied as fast as
they were consumed or became dry. Ou the 25th
day they were removed to the frame/Ait h a net
work bottom, allowing twenty square feet to eve
ry thousand worms. From this time they were
fed w ith twigs two or three feet long sfifaid on as
to form a loose open pile, permitting tho free cir-
cnhuiouofih - air through it. In this pile of brOsb
the cocoons were formed Tin* kind of mulbe'-ry
used was the n»tivo_blark mulberry. Owing to
the early batching, and coldness of the weather
afterw ards (no care being taken to preserve ;t
uniform temperature in the room wltefe they

In preparing the silk, the cocoons were put in

G. A. WINN.
as the Presentments of this body.
As the care of all ptiblic matters by the nature
of our Government, have become subjects to be
enquired of; and as free au l prudent expression
thereon i9 commonly expected from Grand Juries,
w« therefore urge to be heard on a question of a
political character, which appears'to have excited
disquietude amoug-.sotrie; few of our foilow-citi-
zeris.' After repeated attempts, from a quarter
th.it little justice!* ineasurcdout to the weak,to as
sail the local interests of the.State of Georgia, we
were encouraging ;R hope; that; fair prospects were
presented, that utt! might uuinteruptedly and in
peace exercise the right to control all tilings with
in the chartered limits of the'’State, and especially
to legislate over the soil, save those rights which
the State of her own will surrendered for purpos
es of general utility. &c.
The history-of our Government affords ample
testimony that eitfitr misguided zeal, ora wanton
desire to distract the harmony of the Union, by
those who are dazzled and allured by splendid
schemes of arbitrary anti strong government has
had great influence to array, in a hostile attitude
the - Northern and Southern sections of 6vr com
mon country, in coQgequerico«f peculiarity of in
terest, and iu tliistruggle on diversified subjects,
it was the misfortune of our own State, to act a
part not of the least- importance. That part of
the State in the occupancy-of the. Cherokeb In
dians, .was long a fruitful source of dispute, and
nllow.ed pretext for our kind secret friends at the
far north, to display a disposition to misuse the
power of majorities by contrasting the right of
Georgia’s titizens to plough and plant their own
lands. But our northern sovereignties having fail
ed, with all tile power anil wisdom of ail aristoc
racy fo effect the great and desirable object, that
suggested the .contest, to wit, to make a President
for the United States, relinquished their forlorn
I ripe tt* cheat or frighten the people of Georgia
fiom the occupancy of those lands, which wo be
lieve were held independently aud without con
dition or restraint; and from this conflict between
the Federal Government and the State of Geor
gia, ensued the necessity of criminal legislation
over the Cherokee country for purposes of great
moment for the tranquility and good order of so
ciety. In one instance it become the duty of the
public officers of government to arraign persons
residing within the limits of the -Cherokee boun
dary, who- wore the exterior only, of men in holy
order-', who wantonly anti wickedly as we believe
set at defiance the constituted authorities of tho
State. Put our law. not regarding persons in its
operation, earned them to stibmit to the penalty
prescribed for offenders. And when they' per-'
ct-ived that the executive of the Stale was deter
mined to maintain tho dignity of the State, and
knowiug that the magnanimity of the executive
could tdotie afford relief, tiiey withdrew a process
in the Supreme Court against her, a-ul made
heir bumble reliance on the exercise ofinereyfor
their discharge. Called upon, under these circum
stances, the Governor, convinced that he had
faithfully maintained to thelast ditch,the rights of
Georgia l y an exercise of his prerogative, di--
ch irg 1 the offendin:: missionaries, who find
made full penitence for thcii refractory spirits—
