Senator Iverson’s Speech at
GRIFFIN.
This speech will command much of public
attention. It is, an able exposition of South
wrong’, and embraces a rente ly for their cure.
By some in the South it will be prom unccd an
:dtra, disunion effort; while, by others, it will
be lauded as a s.iund, patriotic, Southern
document, "tit for the times.” from the senti
ments of which no Southern man should shrink,
but, at leas t, prepare to embrace.
in earnest terms, we commend a careful
perusal of this able and patriotic speech to our
readers, and particularly t > those who look
• upon any practical and efficient remedy for
the wrongs heaped upon the Soutn, ns ‘••(mi
son” to ti e Union, ami who are ever ready
to sound a needless alarm when a Southern
Confederation is named. Senator Iverson Im
spoken ably, wisely, patriotically—on the side
of the South, it is tine, but still, asking for n
more than she onght to demand. In his de
fence of the institution of slavery, as it exists
in the South, he has exploded the abolition
doctrine, that the rich are alone benefited,
while the poor are degraded by it. The con
trast which ho has drawn between the poor
white limn at the North, and him at the
South, it both striking anil convincing. O
the former, be snys: "The Northern people
boast of their superior knowledge ; of the dif
fusion of education amongst all classes: whilst
it is a well as ertained fact that more igno
rance prevails among their laboring classe
than in any other portion of our country.
T hey can read, and write, and cipher, but u
for a general knowledge of men mid things,
they are. comparatively, profoundly ignorant:
they know little of their own, mid less ol
other countries. At the South, though the
poorer classes may not be so far advanced in
book reading, their general knowledge of men
and manners is far more extensive anil useful
Mixing, as they do with the higher classes
they acquire a knowledge, and take an inter
est not only in relation to the affairs of their
own country, but of foreign lands: they are
familiar with the current politics ot the day—
w ith the operations of the government. They
are, in short, the best informed, most intelli
gent, most proud, patriotic, and liappy poor
class of auy nation in the world.”
This is true, and Senator Iverson demon
strates it in his speech, lie shows that the
institution of slavery depends not alone upon
the slaveholder—that its existence and pro
giess will ever bo maintained by the poorer
classes of the South, who experience its nd
vantages. The taunt, therefore, of the North,
th ‘ the poorer classes of the South will not
permit the slaveholders to break up the Cnion
i:. maintenance of slavery, is an idle one, a.«
tu ■ North will find it to be. when the time o
trial comes. Not only upon this feature of
society in the South, produced by the exi t
enco of African slavery, is Senator Iverson
clear and convincing, but his whole defenci
of it is one of marked ability, and will—if any
defence of it can—make an impression favor
able to it upon the Northern mind ; while, nt
lie South, by all who will read it, it cannot
but strengthen our attachment to that insti
tution. and. in the language of this distinguished
son of Georgia, make us firmly resolve tliu'
" slavery most be maintained—in the Union,
if possible; out of it, if necessary: peaceably
if we can ; forcibly, if we must.”
The aggressions, too, of the North, or of tin
tree States, commencing with the Mitsoiiri
Ileetriction, up to the rejection of Kansas witl
the Lecompton Constitution—with tho inter
mediate fraud practised upon the South in tin
admission of California, and which Las dehid
the South into vain compromises of her right-.
Sen. tor Iverson reviews with the sagacity <>:
a statesman; one jealous of the rights of tin
■until, and determined to maintain then
henceforth at every hazard. Would that .
united South would stand by him in the da.'
that will surely come when the South will
demand Congressional protection of its right
in the Union, or independence out of it. Tin
first being refused, Senator Iverson, for thm
and other causes, advocates the formation of .•
T itrthem Confederacy. But we will let him
speak for himself. He says:
"In my opinion, the true safety of the
S .nth. well as her true honor, dictates .•
fir-n and manly resistance to the first sttoce--
of the abolition parly. « Inch shall be so Hided
upon opposition to slavery, and looks to' it

S ckles and His Wife.
The* New York Irilnu. es Tuesday last,
«iy- *
;• Wo arc credibly infuraci from various |
soarca*, th't the HotviraVla Dan'ni E. Sickle.?
ha« bcoctnc entirely reooncilad with his wife,
i and is now living with bar in ma -itftl relations,
a’before the death us tho late Philip Ba ton
Key. We are alro assured that, in taking this
remarkable step, Mr. Sickles has alienated
himself from most, if not all. of tliosa of his
personal and political friends who devotedly
ndherod tu him during his recent imprisonment
and trial.
Tho reconciliation between Mr. and Mr«.
Sickles was consummated, as we arc informed,
while Mr. S. was residing at the house vs a
friend, on the Bloomingdale road, about half n
mile from the former residence of Mr. 8..
which, for some time pa’t, Mrs. Sickle’ ha
•«cuT:ied, either alone, or with some'of tho
member.’ of her own family. The suspicion
of hi i host were excited by the repented ni
: sences of Mr. S., at unusual hours: and whe<
I he eame in very eurlv one morning, he wn»
interrogated by the h st mid another friend
who was present, ami on hi’ positively denv
ing their right to question him. and re r usinr
to give an explanation, they shook hands witl
him forth: last time, and he withdrew. It is
said that he has since addressed letters to h’s
f irmer iniimato associates, notifying them for
; innlly of the resumption of conjugal relation
‘ between himself and Mr’. Sickles.
! One of our cotemporaries has been to th<

Nothing is more ridiculous than the claiii

that odious Missouri restriction wliicli, f••
nore 'than thirty years, remained upon the

is the siairce ot linn b rless calamities whirl

equality ot the South was asserted, and hei

By these same men "hotel] us, to-dav, that

We regret that we wore absent from our post

speech s a* the Iverson Dinner.
The Empire Slate, nt Griffin, of to d y s ,
late, contains quite an interesting account of
he dinner to senator Iverson, of the ceremo- j
lies attending it, the enthu-iasm which pre- i
• ailed, and the speeches delivered. The an- I
lienee, that paper states, nnmliereil some five
’housand persons. The barbecue <»• a aplgn-
I’.d and bou* tiful one. arid Spoke well for the .
hospitality of our friends in Spalding. We .
<ave already referred to Senator Iverson a ■
speech, of which the Empire State *a v s:
•‘The speech it*eh we publish, and to it we
ucite the reader, nay, we earnestly urge upon
very Southern uian that he peruse it care
nllv; as a duty we urge this upon all who,
• tor weal or for woe,” are determined to stand
v the South in her demands for her constitu
tional rights—in her demands for equality in
the Union, or independence out of it. Os the
. mpression made u|*'ii the audience by this
peech, we shall only assert that it was deep,
.nd we feel that it will prove abiding. Never
<avo we witnessed a tnose attentive osdience.
For two hours —the time occupied by tiwt
peaker—the attention was absorbing. The
listinguished gentleman -poke eloquently, dis
playing a high order of cultivated oratory,
uid as one deeply impressed with the truth of
bis words, as well as with the conviction
that he was advocating the cause of his own
L native South ; that he was striving to stay the
.and of the oppressor, or bid tht-m .t|i uncom
promising defiance. But the speech speaks
"or itself, and we again urge the reader to pe
, use it for himself, and let no garbled extract
leceive him npoli a single point.”
The gallant standard-bearer of the Democ
,i aey of the Third Congressional Di-trict, Col.
, A. M. Speer, having been invited to do so,
, dso addressed the meeting. Os Mr. Spew’s
•peech the Empire State says:
“ The eloquent gentleman was entliusiasti
ally greeted by the Democracy of this part of
tie district. To many present he was well
unow.l., flnd with those who knew bim not, at
• he close of his remarks he became a great
nvorite ; all present were gratified that the
.anner of the Dem‘>ev«w/ of the Third District
• ias Ijoen placed in hands so fUJe ]o bear it on
o vict *y. We are sorry that we have no
, - ‘ see for wen n brief review of his eloquent
uid manly apwech. Suffice it to say. that we
1 ire proud of his effort; proud of the impres-
I -ion which he made; proud to sustain him in
. ■ he coming conflict, and prowl t" fed that the
1 Democracy of this section wilt spare np effort
I o ensure his success over the candidate of the
. j .ew-fangled ‘Opposition’ party.”
I The meeting closed with a speech from Col.
0. A. Lochrane, of this city, who, our Griffin
i -otwapornry says, “stoke in a strain some
, times wf overpowering eloquence, then in a
vein of satire, and then again of humor, which
» nly tho e who have heard this gifted gen
! letnnn can appreciate,”
We heard Col. Speer on the occasion refer
ed to, and can bear testimony te bis gallant
bearing. The Democracy of the Third pis
, rict may well be proud of their candidate.
I’liose wh > heard him on Thursday last—and
there were thousands who did—will give to
( him a most enthusiastic support. Like their
allant leader, they have resolved upon vic
tory. and will recognize “no such wo.d as
fa I,” until, on the first Monday in October
next, the struggle shall finally terminate.
Th© Charlsstoa Convention.
Georgia, as a unit, should be represented in
l this Convention. We say this with due repect
t. th ise who have urged, recently, the nomi
j latjon of delegates by district conventions;
and we were much gradfied when we learned
. that a motion to that end, failed to prevail at
i re ••;«• C ingresiional C invent! in in this State.
In the Charleston Convention, the con Tolling
sentiment of the Democracy of Georgia ought
to prevail. No one will deny so jui-t a propo
sition. The State at large sends four dele
gates to that Convei tion, and these can only
be mstructed by a State Convention. When
that Convention aswemb.es, as has been the
practice and usage of the party, the Congres
sional districts may select their delegates,
while the whole body will proceed to ballot for
Udegates from the Sta’eat large. In advance,
however, of this, the Convention should pro
med to indicate, by resolutions, or otherwise,
what the Georgia Democracy may expect from
he Ctcar’eston Convention; if deemed advisa
ble. who they prefer as candidates ; and upon
i what kind of a platform they desire to go into
j die Piesidential contest. Thus far in the his-
I tory of the Democratic party of Georgia, this
' ' course of procedure has worked well. Why,
1 I then, shall it be innovated upon now 1 Why
’ i resort to a plan that can only result in a com-
; promise, and that may send a delegation to
| Charleston, divided as to men, and, as “ the
. igus of the times” indicate, as to principle*?
No, we go for the good old Democratic usage.
We <ni for a Sta‘e Convention, in which the
I
I ■ voice of the Itemocracy of Georgia may be
I heard, end which will send to Charleston n
f delegation who, as a unit, shall truly repre
. ! *eu» the Stale.
I The innova.i n proposed, we trust, will not
I I prevail. If it were n cessary, we might ad
-1 j vanee many a good reason why an adherence
I | to the old plan is preferable to that recently
> i proposed, amt for which we have not yet seen
a solitary g<sid reason assigned.

Th© Rights of Naturalized Citi- 1
ZENS.
It k authoritatively announced thatTred
der.t Bad. .nan and his Cabinet take th* ground
that •• the m unent a f reigner becomes na'urtd
ised, his allegiance to his native country is Rev
ered,” and he become* possessed of all the
rights, and ia entitled to all the protection of
our government in foreign lands, that n native
born citizen would be. We are gratified that
our Federal Authorities have, at last, assum
ed this ground, and that the “old fogy” doc
trine, which denied the right of self-expatria
tion, has been thus exploded. The idea of be
: ing an American citizen, and yet subject .9 be
seized in foreign countries, and made to per
forin military or other service, has, to us, not
withstanding it has heretofore been submitted
; to by our G ivernment. been always repugnant,
j The foreign born American citizen, owes ser
vice to no govern nent save that of the Uni'ed
j S ates. We care n,t what Great Britain, or
i Fiance, or Russia, or Austria, may claim, or
demand, of our naturalised citizens. It is the
I duty of the United S ates to resist all such de
mands, and, if need be, to make war upon eve
ry crowned head in Europe, who would
to arrest the person of an American citizen,
foreign, or “to the inaner born.” He who hits
sworn allegiance to the United Slates, must
have the protection of the American flag, like
any other citizen, or he owes no allegiance ti
i thia confederacy. The recent letters of the
' Secretary of State, based though they were
I upon precedent, mortified greatly the proud
spirit of our people. Thu Ji/Wi'ce of submitting
to the assumption#of Austria, was questioned
by every patriotic citizen ; while ft spirit of
indignation was aroused which nought but the
j recent action of the President and his Cabinei
! eould have subdued. We congratulate our
foreign born citizens upon the patriotic course
now adopted by our Government, and which
will settle th*question of self-expatriation and
its extent, in all the future. If foreign gov
ernments resist our demands, and persist in
claiming service from those who have sworn
allegiance to the United States, cost what it
ma-y pf treasure and blood, we have not a
doubt that fIUF Government will maintain its
position, though iui<xiiflr “ seven year’s war’’
may ensiifl, and though all Europe may com
bine against us. We are in a progressive age
and can no longer submit totfie “divine rights
of kings,” in matters affecting tha liberty or
property of American citizens.
Below we give the decisions of the President
I and ins Cabinet as it appears in the New York
’ Daily Nests;—r
IMPORTANT DECISION OF Me. ijLCHAN
| AN’S CABINET ON THE ADOPTED CIT
IZEN QUESTION.
I x
Washington, July 14. 1850.
The CfipttPution, this morning, contains the
copy of di patch from; the State Department,
; recently sent “to our minister at Berlin.” on
the subject of naturalization. The case is that
of a naturalized citizen of the United States,
who is a native of Hanover, and who, when
I he left his native country, was neither ip ac
. tive service in the Hanoverian army, nor had
j been drafted to serve in it, but who has yet
j upon his return to Hanover been deprived of
j his liberty, apd compelled to perform military
■ service.
The President and Cabinet concpr in the
views expressed, taking the ground that tEc
' moment a foreigner becomes natu: allied, his
allegiance to his native country is severed.
He is no more responsible for anything he
may ray gy do, after assuming h's new charac
ter, than if be tit)} been born in the United
States. Should he return n> hjs native coun
try Ija rgturps as an American citizen, apii in
no other character. Jti order to entitle his
original Government to nquGh him for an of
fence. this must have been cowmi-ted p'jiije
he was a subject and •■wed allegiance tv tfert
Government. The offence must have been
complete before his expatriation. It must have
been of such a character that he might have
been tried and punished for it a' the moment
of I;is dep inure. Our Minister is instructed
to demand fhn release of the naturalised citi
zen in question,
C'ongsessional Candidates
We clip the following, paragraph from the
Indian Upripg Correspondence of the Federal
Union:
“ The nominations of both parties fir Con
gress, this District, give general satisfkfitjot)
to their respective p ilitical friends. The nom
ination of Capt. Hardeman is said by his
friends to be the strongest that could have
been mada ; while the friends of C il. Spew
confidently look to a complete triumph of their
candidate over his opponent, on the stump. —
Col. Speer has ixld- against him. anl an oppo
nent of manners sud pleasant address, but he
will leave no duty neglected when ths contest
is closed. He is determined to deserve suc
cess if he does not secure it.
Th© Opposition.
Where and what, during the last seventy
years, have been our opponent*? They have
uniformly been in “ opposition” to Democracy.
“ Opposition” clings to them like barufteles to
a ship—“ opposition” is at length their name.
During the seventy year* referred to they have
tried more than twenty name*, but the people
have detected that “ same old coon” under ev
ery hood which they have placed iqsiii their
heads. “ Opposition” is the word. The rea
son they give for their course is, they are “op
posed to the Democrats.” Their principles
are “opposition” principles; indeed they be
long to “the opposition.’ An exchange pa
per says that the Rilvigh Standard has been at
the tronbje of true ug the genealogy'of our op
ponents from the isegipuing, and we give it as
follows:
In 1787. Convention Monarchists.
In 17118, Black Cockuders.
In 1808, Anti-Jefferson Impressment Men.
In 1811, British Bank Men.
In 1812, Peace and Submission Men.
In 1813, Blue Lights.
In 1814, Hartford Conventiouists.
In 1818, Waidiingt-'n Society Men.
In 1818, No Party Men.
In 1820, Federal Republicans.
In 1826, National Kepublieans.
In 1828, Anti-Masons.
In 1834, Anti-Musoii Whigs.
In 1837, Conservatives.
It. 1839, Independent Democratic Whigs,
l'i 1840, Log Cabin and Hard Cider Men.
| In 1841. C'hoi Party.
In 1848. No Party Party.
In 1854, Know Nothing*.
In 1855, Black Republicans.
Ji' 1856, American*.
In 1857. Plug Uglies.
In 1»59, Opposition.
There it is. Their pr.M-nt name is the most
honest iiiuiu- they have ever worn. But the :
Democracy will continue t» defeat them a»
heretofore, and they w ill continue to be call
ed the “ opposition.” We wish them u g'ssj
