To flic Democracy of Bibb.
We are requested to state that a meeting of
the Democratic party of this County, will be
held at the Court Mouse in this city, on
( This, Tuesday, 2d of August, (Sheriff's sale
day,) to nominate a candidate for Senator and
twoRepresentatives in the next Legislature;
or to take such action in reference thereto,
and connected therewith, as may be deemed
advisable and proper.
“What Ik the matter again I”
What is the matter with the sovereign Jun
to of Columbus ? We gave Senator Iverson, in
the last Telegraph, eight closely printed col
umns, to present his case Curly before the pub
lic, and took a little more than balfa column to
point out that his consternation for the South
must be groundless on his own showing. Was
hot that more than fair dealing ? If we did Mr.
Iverson injustice, there was his speech to set
'him'-rigjrt—a hundred .words to our one—care
fully studied words—elaborated to the last de
gree. Was his case the worse for the interfer
ence of tht.Telegraph ? Certainly not, unless
his friends doubt the effect of the Griffin speech
and do not want it circulated among the peo
ple. Upon what principle of justice or reason,
then, do they assail and abuse the Editor of the
Telegraph by name, through annonymous com
munications in theTimes. Our connection with
the Southern press dates twenty years back, be

YEARS AGO.
In 1827, Mr. Van Burcn was a great favorite
with the Crawford and Troup party, but cordi
ally hated by the Clarkers. In 1S36, he was
supported by the Union party for the Presiden
cy, which was mainly composed of the Clark
men of 1S27. The Troup an* Crawford party,
then State Rights’ men, opposed Mr. \ an Bu-
ren with great hostility and supported Judge
White of Tennessee.
A leading Clark organ in April, 1827, says:
“ Mr. Tan Boren and Mr. Cambreleng of New
York, arrived on the 12th inst. at Augusta, in a
Steamboat from SavaDnak. It if said, that they
will visit Oglethorpe Comity, (where Wm. H. Craw
ford then resided,] to drink Whiskey and play
Chess with the family.”
According to the appropriate custom then
prevailing, the 4t> of July, 1827, was celebrat
ed with great eriat—a dinner was always given
and toasts. At a dinner in Macon that year,
Mr. Holli»sworth gave this sentiment:

The Life of Jams* Watt,with (elections from hit cor
respondence. By James Patrick MoirbeiA. Re
printed by D. Appleton A Co. 423 pp. 12 mo.
To the curious in mechanics this wi.l be an
exceedingly interesting book. James V att was
substantially the inventor of the Steam Engine,
at least, he is so claimed to be by tho English
press and people, although the idea of genera
ting motion r-y steam is traced back to i period
as early as 120 years before the Christ an Era,
and the cylinder and piston to Dionysilts Papin
iu the year 1690. Watt was reared in < flasgow
and London to the trade of Mathematical In
strument maker, and his ingenuity and skill as
a mechanic, early lead to his employment by
scientific persons in the repair or/»iuruction
of model experimental Steam Engines, a circum
stance which gave direction to the stud r and la
bors of his life. His first Stationary En. ine was
put in motion July 5th, 1769, at Kin ieil, and
in November of that year, Dr. Roeb ack, his
friend and backer, offered the one-half o his two-
thirds interest in the patent for a sum not less
than £1000. In 1772, Watt developed the idea
of propelling boats by wheels and ti e screw
propeller, and in 1783 he applied tbs Steam
Engine to the tilt hammer. Of Fulton, the eras discussion proceed*,

see the coherency—the consistency of the Sen
ator’s ideas, and this want of perception on our
part, though we gave every body opportunity
to detect it by publishing the speech, has open
ed wide the flood gates of vituperation 1 What
means this lordly intolerance of opinion ? Is it
part of the tactics, or are the Senator’s friends
fretted and discomfitted at the reception and ef
fect of the Griffin Speech?
For our own part, we admitted in the Tele
graph, before we published the Speech, ami we
are willing again to say, that Mr. Iverson did
himself injustice in that Speech—that it does
not convey a just idea of the man as a States
man. His general course in the Senate shows
him to be a prudent, careful, industrious, and
steady going man—much more judicious than
inflammatory. Judging from the past, wc con
fidently predict that if re-elected to the Senate,
the Telegraph will generally coincide with the
Senator in his views ot public policy, if freedom
of opinion is to be permitted. Wc arc confi
dent, in the teeth of the Times vituperator, that
we shall agree fully in opinion about the Nor
thern abolitionists, and go out of the Union to
gether.
At Forsyth, the same year, Jesse Johnson,
Esq., a zealous Clark man, gave this
“O Sovereign State ? what have you done?
You've made a Governor of a Tory’s son.”
In July, 1827, under the head of Sheriff’s
sale, might be found the following:
“Will be sold at the house of Wm. C. Osborne,
the place of holding courts in Muscogee county,
Ac., signed, Bird Young, dep. ahff."
This Bird Young is the Simon Suggs of Johnse
Hooper, and Is now living in Tallapoosa county,
Ala.
In that year, the Sheriff’s sales of Carroll,
Muscogee and Fayette, were published in the
Georgia Telegraph, as being the nearest paper
then existing.
Look how Darien promised to be a great com
mercial emporium in those days. The Darien
Gazette, in June, 1827, says:
“Although we do not believe our city will rival
New York or even London; yet we do believe that
all the produce of the West, will be landed upon
our wharves and re-shipped to such port as the
owner pleases.”
Darien, we are sorry to say, has not realized
the hopes of the sanguine printer.
Fair Athens, in 1828, had a population of e-
leven hundred, and a writer of that day says :
“It is also worthy of remark, that it contains its
twenty six four wheel carriages, a like number of
gigs, sulkeys, Ac. Girls bey und the power of enu
meration, and last though not least, twenty six wi
dows. Visitors of green fourteen or ripe forty need
not sigh in vain."
Let us see what our Macon fathers were about
in those days.
In April, 1827, we find in an old file

doomed to inevitable de
struction. The evidences
of the troth of this propo

Payments from the State Rond.
The “Savannah Republican” is scandalized to
learn that forty thousand dollars have been
paid in the Treasury from the State Road for
July instead of thirty-five thousand. Indeed
this appears to be a growing evil. That paper
says, “This is just what we predicted. After
standing at thirty-five thousand and thirty-six
thousand'for many.months, we felt sure the re
nomination of Gov. Brown would bring it up to
forty or fifty thousand!. Wc shall expect a pro
gressive increase till the day of election, and
then a sudden lolling back to the old notch of
“thiriy-fivc thousand.” We make the predic
tion and leave it for time to test its correctness.
Wo arc much inclined to regard the income of
the State Road, like the Democratic vote of
Chatham county, as regulated wholly by the
emergencies of the occasion.”
This is outrageous conduct on the part of the
Governor, and we put to him as a charitable and
Christian gentleman, whether he ought not to
suspend these payments, before the opposition
fret to death about them. We were in the
State Convention, the other day, and heard an
opposition speaker say that $35,000 a month
was no return at all from such a work—it show
ed only miserable bad management The Gov
ernor increases it to forty, but it pleases them
no better. When there were no payments they
felt outraged—and when payments come they
feel worse. What cad be done to please the op
position? We fear they can’t be pleased any-
iow.
Another Collapse.
The New York papers are discussing the
probability of another “commercial revulsion”
like that of 1857, this Fall, and some of them
think its “coming.” Will the banks take war-1 thus speaks of the approaching Gubernatorial
ning and suspend in time ? or will they “wait for 1 contest:
That woe quick time.
Here is another specimen of enterprise. On
4th July, 1828, Mr. Simri Rose (this cannot be
our youthful cotemporary of the Messenger,)
gave this toast:
“Our Domestic Manufactures or Georgia Home-
spun, let our patronage be the Tariff that encour
ages and protects it.”
About the same time, the
“Telegraph takes pleasure in noticing the gen
eral use of the fabrics of our own looms among all
classes, from the highest public functionary down
to the fashionable Belles and Dandies.”
Speaking of toasts, however, reminds us, at a
Bachelor’s Dinner on the 4th of July, 1628, at
Monroe, Walton county, this was given:
“Old Bachelors—Like fleas in a tar bucket, are
not to be envied. Old Maids, like terrapins on
fire, are more certainly to be pitied.”
Again, at the same time and place—
“Marriage like a mouse-trap—easy to getin, but
hard to get out.”
And here’s a conundrum:
“Why is Houston County like an urchin about
to be flogged? D’ye give it up? Because it
faces Twiggs.”
Many of our readers recollect when Macon
was settled, that her commercial future was
mainly dependent upon the practicability of
navigating the Ocmulgec River with Steamboats,
and thereby attracting all the trade of Middle
and Upper Georgia. Macon was supposed to
be the only point in the State which could suc
cessfully rival Augusta as a Cotton market, and
her friends looked forward to the day when a
daily line of StnmliMts d.,uU tic cstatmsned
to Darien and Savannah. The acquisition and
settlement of the Indian country, between the
Flint and Chattahoochee, and the arrival of a
steamboat loaded with goods at the Falls of the
Chattahoochee, called by the Indians “Wowa-
kah” (troubled waters), and the laying out of
the town of Columbus, created no little anxiety
among those who had made large investments
in Macon town-lots. Columbus at a very early
period in her existence, laid claim to superiority
overall the Georgia towns as a market for cheap
groceries, and more especially in the articles of
Western produce—such as bagging, rope, sugar,
molasses, whiskey, flour, dec.; and the friends
of the frontier town maintained that by reason
ofa better river, and her proximity to the West
Indies and New Orleans, the Columbus market
would afford iron, salt, coffee, bacon, and other
articles, cheaper than any other trading town
in the State; and in 1828, a letter appeared in
the Milledgcville Recorder, which stated that
goods could be brought from New Orleans to
Columbus in eight days, and that sugar, whis
key, and other Western produce, could be pur-
cliased in Columbus and hauled in wagons to
Macon and Milledgeville. and sold lower than
the Macon traders, who get their goods by Da
rien and Savannah, could afford to sell them.
These statements were denied by the friends
of Macon, and in August, 1828, we find the fol
lowing Price-current of the rival markets given:

This was deemed a closer in favor of Macon.
Macon Land Sales.—The sale of Reserve
Lands and Town Lots dosed about the hist of
October, 1828.
“The choice Lots have sold high. The 100 acre
Lots of Pine Barren sold from oue hundred dollars
down. Oak and Hickory, of the same size, sold
from fifteen hundred dollars down. The highest
half acre on this side brought three hundred and
five dollars. On the East side, the choice one
acre Lots sold from seven hundred to one thousand
dollars. Fort hill, the site of old Fort Hawkins,
comprising one hundred acres of poor land,
brought twenty-one hundred and fifty dollars. The
one hundred acre Lot, containing Cold Spring, was
purchased by Mr. Washington lor three hundred
dollars. The Macon Bridge was sold for twenty-
six thousand one hundred and fifty dollars, bnt the
purchaser failed to comply with the terms of sale.'
In May, 1828, we find the following items
bearing on the political issues of the day:
“.Proof Positit*.—The editor of the Geneva
Palladium offers to ‘proveon oath’ that Thurlow
Weed did declare that the object of his journey
to Washington was to procure aid of the General
Government, in using the Morgan excitement for
the benefit of the Adams party.’
Another:
Tlie Sincerity of the Freedom
SIIRIEKERS.
We copy below an article from the Franklin
Patriot, published at Farmington, Me., which
is rather.calculated to strengthen the belief en
tertained by a great many persons, that there
is a great deal more hypocricy than sincerity
in the professions of the black republican ofXew
England:
Mr. Rice died some three years ago, in Boon-
ville, Missouri, where he resided, leaving an es
tate of some fifteen thousand dollars, about lialf
of which consisted of slave property. Dying
without issue, his brothers and sisters and their
representatives, inherited the estate. Three of
these heirs resided in this town, one in Strong,
one in New Sharon, one in Fayette, one in
Gardiner, and one in Lowell, Mass., and every
one of them belong to that large class who
are ever ready to “shriek for freedom” and shed
crocodile tears over the sufferings of the “poor
slave.” As these slaves came into their hands
without any effort, cost or sacrifice on their part
to obtain them, it would certainly be more tcas-
onable to expect their liberation at their hands
than from Southern slaveholders who have paid
for their slaves, acquired them as they do other
property, been accustomed to theirservices and
familiar with the institution all their lives ; yet
the result proves the reverse to be true. These
conscientious anti-slavery republicans unani
mously decided to have theirslaves sold into that
perpetual bondage which they have so strenu
ously denounced as the “sum of all villainies.”
Their decision has been carried into eflect—
The slaves have been sold by the administrator
in Missouri, by their orders A gentleman of
this village, went to Missouri as agent for the
heirs to close up the estate, has just returned,
bringing with him six pr seven thousand dol
lars dividends arising from the sale of slaves
and other property up to this time, a portion of
the property having been sold on time, the pro
ceeds of which are not yet available. Doubt
less these “freedom and humanity” brethren
will continue to advocate the abolition of slave
ry—jingling their slave money m their pockets
while they abuse Southern slaveholders, inclu
ding those to whom they have sold theirs, for
not liberating their bondmen. Such is black
republicanism in New England.
“Hard Check. ”
A strong illustration of “ hard cheek ”—vul-
go, unquailing effrontry, was given by the Balti
more Patriot the other day, in these words:
We charge the Democratic party with intro
ducing mob law, destroying the purity of the
ballot box, and sapping the foundations of our
form of Government Like Pandora’s box, it
bAS been the source of almost every evil which

Another case or Inconsistency.
The lion. Wm. L. Yancey, ofAIabama, late
ly delivered a pretty thorough disunion speech
in Charlotte, South Carolina, which seems to
have been marked by the same inconsistencies
we have pointed out in the Griffin Speech of
Senator Iverson. We have seen only a notice
of the speech in the Washington Constitution
ol last Saturday, which states tliat the “Whig”
and the “Democrat,” newspapers of Charlotte,
both condemn the speech, and says:
“The “Edgefield Advertiser” is nut a little tor/
on the temporizing and inconsistent course of
these ultra dechumers. Here Is a singularly
striking example of incongruity. In his plea
for disunion, Mr. Yancey says bitterly of the
“We mast be content to exist, like the girdled
tree, lingering out a feeble existence, in a short
time to die under the influence of such a policy.”
And yet, in the same oration, he thus truly,
and by no means with exageration, represents
the power, resources, and character of the
South:
“We have eight millions of people educated
to the use of anas trained to self-reliance with
a thorough knowledge of government princi
ples, with as much real spirit and manhood as
was ever possessed by any people. We have
unity of production, unity of institutions and a
compact country. We have the great product
without which the world cannot do. We are
rich in all the elements of prosperity. When
our lathers resisted the whole might of England,
they were scattered along tho seaboard to the
Atlantia They possessed no such good gov
ernments as wc possess in our State govern
ments; they had no system of revenue such as
we possess; they had no such amis, or means
of manufacturing arms, such as wc possess.—
They were but three millions in number; they
were divided even amongst themselves as to the
propriety of their resistance, and yet for eight
long years they maintained the contest with
England, and maintained it triumphantly; we,
far differently, far more favorably situated, with
nearly three times the number, with almost in
finitely greater resources ami wealth, can defy
a world in arms. We have one other power—
a power never to be despised, always to be de
sired—it is the power derived from being right
in our causa”
How absurd, then, to talk ofStatcs, thus en
riched, thus armed, thus fortified, thus inspired
by genius, and skill and heroism, thus blessed
with the choicest gifts of Heaven, in climate,
soil anil production, as doomed (if confined
within the American Union) “in a short time to
die under its influence.”
“Mr. Van Buren, it ia said, is fast eating hia

A clear illustration of thejBepublican’s invet
erate prejudices. The man
can.”
But he says again in this speech ,’•‘that the loss
of Kansas to the South was the fruits of the
Kansas and Nebraska bill” Why, what docs
Senator Iverson mean ? Did he not vote for
this bill ? Did not the whole Georgia Delega
tion in Congress vote for it? If the bill was
wrong upon principle, why did he give it his
support ? If it was intended to make Kansas a
free State, as he now says it was, was Senator
Iverson too stupid to find out the designs of its
authors, or was he too recreant to his duty to
make their designs known tc his constituents ?
One or the other of these two things is true, and
taking either horn of the dilemma, Senator Iver
son shows himself disqualified for the elevated
position he aspires to fill. But he says that
“without Congressional protection to slavery in
the territories the South will never acquire any
more slave territory.” Well, Mr. Iverson, why
did you not put this principle in the Kansas
bill ? Why did you not at least make an effort
to do it ? Here is another admission of retnis-
ncss in your public duties, showing again your
unfitness for the station you have occupied.—
Mr. Stephens, in his great speech at Augusta,
argues like a sensible man, when he says “that
without more African stock the South never
can acquire more slave territory;” but you want
territory without slave population to occupy it
Nonsense! But this is like the balance of the
reasoning with which this speech abounds.—
Reasoning did I say? I beg your pardon—there
is no effort at reAsoning in this speech—it is a
labored, artful appeal to sectional feelings and
prejudices—an attempt toget up afuror of South-
ernism—a storm of indignation against the
North upon which Mr. Iverson may be return-:
ed to the Senate. Hence, Mr. Iverson com
plains that “under our Constitution and laws
Northern people are allowed to come among us,
and travel witli impunity through the country
and leave abundant opportunity to incite insub
ordination and seduce our black population
from their allegiance.” He urges this state of
things as a reason why the South should separ
ate from the North. But hear him again—
“iVoio (he says,) under the Constitutional guar
antees we cannot exclude the North Pirate from
our soil—in a separate government he would
be an alien and a strainger without the right
even to enter ex-cept bj’legal permission.” So
tliat according to Judge Iverson we now have
“Northern pirates,” in Georgia, but when his
grand Southern confederacy is established no
Yankee foot is to tread its consecrated soil The
thousands of honest and patriotic Northern peo
ple at the South will take warning in time, and
govern themselves accordingly. It is truly
mortifying to reflect that a gentleman occupy
ing Mr. Iverson’s exalted position should ut
ter such language and publicly proclaim and
publish such sentiments. If he is not entirely
demented he mast know that the people of
Georgia are too intelligent and patriotic to en
dorse such unreasonable views and policy. The
love of office is too strong for the frailty of hu
man nature or Judge Iverson would never have
exhibited the weakness and indiscretion dis
played in this speech. But while it may liave
been a personal misfortune to Judge Iverson
that he made this expose of himself at Griffin,
it may be well for the Stale, since it will doubt
less lie the means of causing his seat in the Sen
ate to be filled by a pfcrson more competent to
discharge its duties than Juiigo ivorsnn shows
himself to have been. There are other por
tions of this remarkable speech which I shall
reserve for examination hereafter. In the pros
ecution of this purpose, I shall endeavor to han
dle Judge Iverson’s disunion project as it de
serves to be handled—shall show its paternity
—its objects; in short; I shall try to strip the
“sheep’s clothing” from off the “wolfs back,”
and dress the animal in its true livery. He
that “sows to the whirlwind” must expect “to
reap the storm.”
A NATIONAL DEMOCRAT.
For the Georgia Telegraph
Mr. Clisbv—I have read, in the Telegraph
of July the 26th, a [to me] profoundly interest
ing letter from Daniel E. Sickles, on the subject
of his reconciliation with his offending and guil
ty wife. I was disgusted with the published de
tails of the trial and on hearing of the recon
ciliation after the plain proofs of guilt which in
duced the murder, I regarded Mr. Sickles’ last
act as foolish and censurable. But there are
some passages in his letter which, in my judg
ment at least, are worthy of calm and deliberate
consideration. Take the following, for instance
“I am not aware of any statute, or code of mo
rals, which makes it infamous to forgive a wo
man ; nor is it usual to make our domestic life
a subject of consultation with friends, no mat
ter how near and dear to us. And I cannot al-
low even all the world combined to dictate to me
the repudiation of my wife, when I think it
right to forgive her, and restore her to my con
fidence and protection.”
These are remarkable words to be uttered by
the man who has slain the seducer of his wife;
but, are they not noble words ? Are they not
a step in the right direction ? Ought not the
same code of morals which can forgive an offend
ing husband, also to forgive an offending wife?
and if a hasband must not be repudiated for the
violation of marital vows, neither should the
wife be. In my opinion, the law of inexorable
custom has been too much on one side, in cases
of this kind. A man may offend at pleasure,
and yet be received into good society, and be
forgiven, too,, by the wife of his bosom; but
woman—poor woman! — must be condemned
and cast out forever, and that for the first and
only offenca Sir, this law does not mete out
even handed justice to the female sex. It may
be proper that a separation* should take place
in all cases of connubial violations; but in every
case, let the wife stand on the same platform
with her husband. Mr. Sickles may have rea
sons for forgiving his wife, which he could not
disclose to the world, and which the world may
have no business to know; and if he can recon
cile it to his feelings to live with her, he is re*
sponsible to no man on earth for his conduct;
and if he has a clean bill with his Maker, in
other respects, he will be neither censured nor
condemned for taking his repentant wife again
to his bosom and his home. And who can fail
to be moved by the following paragraph?
If I ever failed to comprehend the utterly
desolate position of an offending though peni
tent woman—the hopless future, with all its
dark possibilities of danger, to which she is
doomed when proscribed as an outcast—I can
now see plainly enough, in the almost univer
sal howl of denunciation with which she is fol
lowed to my threshhold, the misery and perils
from which I have rescued the mother of my
child. And although it is very sad for me to
incur tho blame of friends and the reproaches
of many wise and good people, I shall strive
to prove to all who feel any interest in me,
that if 1 am the first man who has ventured to
say to the world an erring wife and mother
may be forgiven and redeemed, that in spite
of all the obstacles in my path the good results
of this example shall entitle it to the imitation
of the generous and the commendation of the
just.”
Were it not for the crime of homicide to which
Mr. Sickles is obnoxious, the above sentiments
would have a beneficial effect on all sympathiz
ing and considerate minds; but they are senti
ments which look to the salvation of the wife
and mother, and the guardianship and protec
tion of an innocent child, and must, in due time,
be approved bv the wise and good.

Bights of Naturalized Citizens,
The enemies of the Administration are ma
king themselves very ridiculous on the subject
of whether foreigners naturalized herj can vol
untarily return to their native country and re
quire the Government under which taey were
born, to ho!d and treat them as foreigners and
citizens of this Republic; they of a sudden are
painfully exercised in behalf of poor foreigners,
because Mr. Cass declared that it is rot compe
tent for any and all foreign vagabonds from the
old world to come here and get their naturaliza
tion papers and then voluntarily return to the
country they have abjured, and ir.vcive us all
in perpetual war for their protection, or rather
to render their worthless lives famous, as was
tried a few years ago by one ofthem in Vienna
The only fault I have to find with the Admin
istration in this business Is that they have
backed down, or rather have been scared down
from the undoubtedly legal position first taken
by Gen. Cass. The question is net whether
citizens and subjects can expatriate themselves
—but whether they can at will so divest them
selves of their allegiance to their native coun
try as that, on their return to that coantry, such
allegiance cannot attach to them. There is
not and never has been any one knowing enough
to be admitted to the Bar, such a dunce as /iot
to know that by the common law recognized
by the law of nations, no citizen or subject can
divest himself of his allegiance to his native
country while within, its dominions. But that
it is at the same time admitted tliat each and
every State may, by express law, absolve their
citizens or subjects from such allegiance par
tially or wholly. Well, where is the hardship,
friend Patrick or Minliecr? You have not on
ly forsaken your native country , but you have
sworn and twice called God to witcess that you
repudiate the shabby concern, that you will nev
er more obey any of its laws, so help you God.
What business have you there after that ? If
one of your minor children were to do that
swearing, he would have no more to do with “the
old folks at home”—but should hj afterwards

Grave Digging; Extraordinary,
The latest news from Panama reports that
some gold images having been discovered at an
Indian Burying Ground, near David, in that
State, a rush for the new “diggings” had taken
place, and some eighty thousand dollars’ worth
of idols of all likenesses had been excavated
from these ancient depositaries of the dead.
“Following after idols” had become common
in PanauiA
Ailantlius Trees.
A correspondent of the New York Times,
denounces “in good set terms” the tree which
bears the above name,—and then goes on to
say:—
The late researches of Prof. Hetet, of the
School of Medicine of Toulon, France, on the
medicinal effects of the Ailanthus Glandulosa,
of China, now so common among us as a shade-
tree, at the same time that they established its
claim as one of the bestantidotes for the toenia,
would also satify the most sceptical of its un
fitness to ornament our residences. Its bark
contains a volatile oil, which is so deleterious
in its effects, that the assistants who had the
evaporation of the extract under their care
would be seized with vertigo and vomiting
whenever they came in contact with the va
pors. There is no doubt that it is ou account
of tho natural evaporation of this powerful oil
that so many object to having the tree near
their residences. The well-known unpleas
ant, herbaceous odor of its flowers should have
long since caused it to be discarded; but when
it is thus proved that under the influence of
our warm Summer months, unpleasant conse
quences may ensue, it would be wise to have
a3 few near our habitations as possible. That
these exhalations arc of a poisonous as well as
disagreeable nature is further proved by the
number of dead flies and other insects found
under this tree at seasons, as also by their
sickening effect on delicate persons, particu
larly children, often forcing them to gag.
Thorburn, Bridgeman, Downing, and other
horticulturists and landscape gardeners, unan
imously condemn the practice of planting the
ailanthus, a rank, overgrown weed at best,

shade and beauty, their flowers and fragrance,
endurmg for generations, and when not other
wise needed, furnishing at least good timber.
As compared with other trees, it would bo dif
ficult to assign any good reason for the pre
ference which has unfortunately been shown
for the ailanthus.
Long ago, convinced of the unhealthy influ
ence of the Ailanthus, the Macon Board of
Health, on the suggestion of C. A. Ells, Esq.,
recommended their removal from the streets,
but no responsive action was taken by Coun-
Fraucc and Great Britain.
Lord Lyndhurst in the British Parliament
lately made a speech urging an increase of the
Army and Navy, mainly on the ground of the
uncertainty of the peaceful relations between
Great Britain and France. He deprecated all
dependence on the mere forbearance of France j
and warned minsters against too much faith in
their ancient ally. He declared that the ancient
naval superiority of Britain had gone, and the
English army numbered but one hundred thous
and, against 450,000 French soldiers of tried
valor—as brave and disciplined soldiers as ever
followed a drum.
This Speech, the New York Herald says, has
been translated into French, and circulated in
immense numbers all over the Empire. Its ef
fect is thus noted in the Herald’s Paris corre
spondence of July 9th:
If Lord Howden’s remarks on the anxiety on
the part of every Frenchman to draw the teeth
of England produced a lively sensation hero—
and such they did most unquestionably—it is
absolutely nothing to the exacerbations caus
ed by the speech of Lord Lyndhurst That
speech fcAS been translated word for word; it
has not only been circulated in every journal
throughout the empire, but copies of it have been
sent into every town, village and hamlet of
Prance. Every soldier who can read has one
in his hand, and his comrade who cannot hangs
wistfully over his shoulder, while, what every
one seems determined to call the outrageous in
sults of Englands foremost legislator, are echoed
with every sort of emphasis and accentuation in
his hearing.
One is really astonished to see the nerve—the
exultation of spirit with which comparatively
illiterate men enter historically, geographically
and politically into the subject France, it is
protested on all hands—even though the Em
peror be disposed to exhibit his characteristic
forbearance—cannot put up with it England
lias now need of France—far more need than
France has of her. A fig for her navy; it can
not be everywhere. She has not a colony be
longing to her that France might not make her
onn to-morrow. Yes, it is an insult, gross in
sult, not to believe a great country when she
declares by her representative, in the face of
the world, that she has no ambition, no desire
for anything but tranquillity and repose—ex
cept it be the moral weight which the truly
great and good must ever hope to possess,
is to put arms of offence in her hands—to drag
her from her peaceful hearth and compel her to
assume tho panoply of injured dignity. What,
is it for this that she has borne with Christian
meekness the assassination of her great captain
in that lone isle whose name is ever like a trum
pet summoning every child of Franco to deeds
of vengeance? Is it for this that she has so
long forgotten and forgiven her humiliation in
the sight of the civilized world, when the Bour
bon was imposed upon her by mockery pur
chased with English gold? Is'it for this that
insult after insult has been passed by overlooked
on monarch and people for half a century—that
now we should be told our word is not worth
the breath it cost tp give it—that our soul is in
its very essence untrustworthy, deceitful, and
desperately base?
legal authority as your Zollicoffer-
The supreme Court, though haring the ques
tion more than once incidentally before them,
have generally waived it. But Judges Wash
ington and ELsworth,' had the direct question
before them on the circuit and unhasitatingly
decided that no one could divest himself of his
allegiance.
And the Supreme court in the <ase of Shanks
vs. Dupont 3 Peters, 246, says—“ The general
doctrine is that no persons can, by any act of
their own, without the consent of the govern
ment put off their allegiance and_ become aliens.
If it were otherwise, then a feme sole, alien by
her marriage, would become ipso facto a citizen,
and would be dowable of the cstite of her hus
band, which is clearly contrary to law. - ’
That was a question of succession to proper
ty by the heirs of a mother who was a native
of South Carolina, but married an Englishman
and settled and died in England. But is it not
madness and worse—is it not death for South
ern Statesmen to surrender such a question as
this—surrender the right of every State to sub
ject every one within their dominions to just
such laws as they choose to enact and enforce,
that are not contrary to compacts and treaties
by them assented to ? By what other princi
ple do the Southern people exclude black sail
ors and free negroas from abrtad from their
dominions ? Nay more—our slaves are esca
ping by thousands evciy year to the British
Dominions where they are madj by law sub
jects of her Britanic Majesty. A.ve we about to
admit, if one of these blacks sho aid be found in
the United States and be seized by his former
owner, Great Britain may demand him as her
subject and make it a cause of war on refusal.
There is no end to the ccm plications that
would follow the surrender of the well estab
lished common law doctrina But to put the
question at rest, Congress ought to pass a law
upon the subject so as not to permit our natu
ralization laws to conflict with public law as
they now confessedly do.

The Naturalization and Protection Ques
tion.—A native of Havana defends, through the
Alexandria Gazette, foe position of Gen. Cass
concerning the protection due naturalized Amer
icans while visiting their native countries on the
continent of Europe. The following extract
from his artv'fo is interesting:
A perso* can quit my native country without
molestation afterwards, if he remains till ho is
twenty-one years of age, and takes his chance
at that time of being drawn tor a term of milita
ry service. If he leaves after he is fourteen
ajd before he is twenty-one, he leaves with his
uture obligations hanging over him, and he
knows it. He knows if he afterwards returns
ward
tribute to the memory of his lamented friend
in Faneuil Hall Boston, on Friday, The Trav
eller says that when he introduced the follow
ing forcible and eloquent figure, the audience
could no longer restrain the expression of their
appreciation, and burst forth into continued ap
plause, which ceased, and was renewed a second
time. Speaking of Choate’s eulogy on Daniel
Webster at Dartmouth College, Mr. Everett
remarked:
But he does not deal exclusively in those pon
derous sentences. There is no dling of the arti
ficial Johsonian balance in hit style. It is as
often marked by a pregnant brevity as by a so
norous amplitude. He is sometimes satisfied,
in contise epigrammatic clause, to skirmish with
his light troops and drive in the enemy’s out
posts. It is only on fitting occasions, when
great principles are to be vindicated and solemn
truths told; when some mora or political Wa
terloo or Solfcrino is to be fought, that he puts
on the entire panoply of his gorgeous rhetoric.
It is then that his majestic sentences swell to
the dimensions of his thought; .hat you hear afar
off tho awful roar of his rifled ordinance, and
when ho has stormed the heig;hts, and broken
the centre, and turned the staggering witjgs of
his adversary, that he sounds lis imperial clar
ion along the whole line of battle, and moves

Accident to ilic Huntsville.
The propeller Huntsville, v.-hich left Savan
nah for New York last Wednesday, was discov
ered to be on fire in her holi about 4 o'clock
next morning. She put into Charleston with
out accident and all safe. ’Ihc Republican of
yesterday says:
We aro informed that Mr. Spence, the pilot
of the Huntsdlle, has returned to this city, and
reports that the only hole burned through her
deck, is about two feet from -he forward hatch
and immediately over the baggage. The origin
of the fire can only be conjectured, and as ac
cess to lit* baggage was freq jently had during
the day by passengers, it Is jiossible that some
one way have carelessly dropped a lighted cig
ar, or, what is more probable, matches, which
are so frequently carried by travellers in their
