An the National Democracy and its venerable head. 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: Advertisements. We arc requested to call attention to the fol lowing: R.

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*, work says that be ordered his first S' cam En gine in 1803, from Watts, at Soho, des gned for his vessel called the Clermont The Engine was shipped in 1805, and the-trial tri > up the Hudson made in 1807. of that paper to be prostituted to personal abuse ofusasa “wolf in sheep's clothing,” ‘Viper,” ‘yankee editor,” Ac., for the simple reason that we cannot for the life of us see how the South and slavery are in imminent danger and “doom ed to inevitable destruction,” wlv'fc, by the Sen ators own showing, we can bring the North to our feet by recourse to dwonion, and as an in dependent sovereign tp' < defy H>e world in arms,” progress, wealth And prosperity? We can’t 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 “A Spectacle!—A novel exhibition was witness ed in our town one day last week.

The title tells the whole story with sufficient amplitude of detail Paul Morphy’s movements and triumphs have occupied more space in newspaperdom in the last two years than any other subject we know of; and it was a fitting sequel that the honored incumbent of that ar duous, responsible and delicate position—his late Secretary, should condense and consign them to immortality in a book.

Nor tm I oftbe num her of those who believe tbst we have sustained any injury by these agita tions. It la true, we were not responsible for them. We were not the sggres- ors. We acted on tne de fensive. We repelled u sanlt, calumny and asper sion, by argument, reason and troth. But so far from the institution of African slavery in onr section be ing weakened or rendered leas secure by the discus sion, roy deliberate judg ment is that it bas been greatly strengthoned and fo r 11 fi ed—strengthened and fortified not only in the opinions, convictions, and consciences of men, but by the action of the government. At thia time, there is not a ripple upon the surface, lira oonntry was never in a profounder quiet, or tlie i people from one extent of i it to the other, in a more perfect enjoyment of the blessings of peace and prosperity aeeured by tboae institutions, for which we should feel no less grateful than proud. ties are honest in tireir views, whilst in others, “the wish is father to the thought,* and in many sel fish considerations give utterance t o sentiments and opinions which are not seriously felt or enter tained. My own opinion is, that the institution of slavery in the Southern States is not only in dan ger, bnt without a prompt, bold, firm and manly couneon their part, is doomed to inevitable de struction. The evidences of the troth of this propo sition are numerous and unmistakable. Whatever others may say- whatever del—-e hopes may be entertained to the contrary, I consid er all lost at the North. The Northern clans are to be mustered to the cry of “down with Slavery.' and the black flag of-'uni versal emancipation'’ will be raised alolt, never again to be furled until it shall wave in triumph o- ver a disgraced, degraded and destroyed South, or met at the threshold by a manly spirit of Southern resistance, be driven back to its native regions to lead on the dark destiny and fortunes of a separate Northern Government. In short the conduct of the masses of the northern People exhibits more bit- tern ess and hostility to wards their Southern bre thren, than ever marked the bloody contest of bor der nations sincetheworld began. There they are—wide assundcr as the polls— All is lost, says Mr. Iverson—everything gain ed, says Stephens. Doomed to inevitable de struction, says Iverson—I see no cause of dan ger, says Stephens. More bitterness and hos tility than ever marked a bloody border contest, says Iverson—At this time there Is not a ripple on the surface, says Stephens. Some slight discrepancy here—we take it Let the Junto elevate their aims and strike at Stephens. He is the man fer their shafts. Harper Tor August Is received and for sale at Mr. J. M.

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: Price* at Colmnbaa.

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 has cursed our country. This in the lace of the political and social ca reer of Baltimore for the past five years, needs no comment or refutation. James Buchanan. He charges the loss of Kan sas and the increasing power of free-soillsm up on the democracy in Congress, and the treachery of the President in sending free-soil Governors to Kansas. Even the gallant and patriotic Pierce does not escape his censure, for he says, “that Gen. Pierce put over Kansas a batch of freesbil Governors and other Federal officers to warp with official patronage and influence the sentiments and political action of the people.” And the present administration, he says, “has followed the example of its illustrious predeces sor.” Where was Mr. Iverson while this treach ery was going on ? In his seat in the Senate consenting to it by his silence; and never until he wants to be returned to that same seat does he condescend to say a word about it. Upon his own showing, Mr. Iverson Iias been an un in that distracted country under the American &*** sentiael ‘" d OU S ht not *° returncd to the Senate of the U. States.

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 way to popularity in this State. He seems might ily pleased with Georgia customs and Georgia whiskey. He is noir on a visit to our late candi date for President” In January, 1S27, a leading Clark journal j “Great interest begins to be excited on the sub- debt, and without any poor kin. A Bright Democrat.—The Macon Telegraph tells the following of a member of the faithful down among the Lower Creeks. “Down in Butler the other day, the Agent told us a countryman came in and looking at the big hand-bill announcing this meeting, read with unfeigned surprise and indignation—“S-t-a-t-e O-p-p-o-s-i-t-i-o-n C-o-n-v-e-n-t-i-o-n !!” “Wall now,” says he, drawing back, ‘JTm agin them fellers all tho time. I say dum any body that’s opposed to the State.”—Sav. Republican 28th 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. PHILANTHROPIST. For the Georgia Tdsgraph. 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.

They are all pleas: 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, Elections.

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.
