liberal, and magnanimous sentiments of Mr.
Buchanan, on the same occasion, uttered in re
ply to Mr. Clay:
Air. Buchanan, in reply, said: Now, in re
gard to aliens, the Senator bus admitted that,
from the origin of the Government until the
present tims, they have been permitted to pur
chase the public lands of the west, either by
public sale or by private entry. This fact is
incontrovertible. Then why make an odious
d sanction against foreigners in this particular
care ? If you permit them to purchase in eve
ry < il>' r form, why deny to them the privilege
of purchasing as pre-emptionors. The alien
who flies from oppression at home, and makes
his way into the Fur West, and there fixes his
habitation, at the same time, places his body as
a barrier against the attacks of the savago foe,
which your policy has collected on the frontier.
Such aliens thus furnish stronger evidence of
their fidelity to the country, and of their inten
tion to become citizens, than they could do by
a mere declaration to this effect under the na
turalization law; though he presume-*, such a
declaration was made by them in almost eve

may change his intention before he becomes a
citizen ; but the man who makes a settlement
on the public land, and purchases it from the
government, thus identifies his own fate and
that of his family, for weal or for wo with our
government. From such men wo have noth
ing to apprehend. And shall we suffer even
the ulien speculator, who has no intention of
ever becoming a citizen, to purchase the hum
ble dwelling of this poor man and drive him
out of possession ? Such might often be the
cose, if it were not for your pre-emption laws.
For my own part, 1 shall always most cheer
fully, as long a I shall be honored with a seat
in the Senate, grant this trifling privilege to the
actual settler, whether he has emigrated front

“NATIVE AMERICANISM.”
Mr. Archer, a member of the Uuited States
Senate from Virginia,andono of the Most ultra
whigs in that body, at the last session of Con
gress pledged himselfto introduce and advocate
the change in the Naturalization Laws which
has been proposed by the “Native American
Party”—That is, to require a residence of twen
ty one years as a qualification for the naturali
zation of foreigners. This arbitrary and unjust
measure we regard as certain to be carried into
effect; should the whigs be successful in the ap
proaching election, ns that of a National Bank
or the Distribution of the proceeds of the Public
Lands. Although it has not been deemed poli
tic by the friends of Mr. Clay to commit them
selves as a party in its favor, there are signs and
evidences enough to satisfyany reasonable mind
that it meets with their cordial approval and
will be carried into effect whoever they obtain
possession of the government.
At the late charter election in the city of
New York the whigs supported the “Native
American” ticket, and it was elected l>y their
votes. In Philadelphia the same identity of
feeling and opinion exists between the two, and
in the lawless acts of violence and bloodshed
there was, in n moral point of view, neither se
paration nor distinction. The whigs as a par
ty had applauded and encouraged the spirit of
mnlignant hatred which has actuated and gov
erned all the the proceedings of the “Native A-
mericans,” and they are and ought to bo held
accountable &r the consequcuces. And this is
true not only in regard to the wh'gs of Phila
delphia and New York, but of Pittsburg and
every other place where “Native American
ism” has assumed an organized shape.
The truth of this position rnay be further il
lustrated from the sentiments which daily ap
pear in the leading whig papers throughout tii
Union.

that, for admission to certain offices of important trust, a re

manifesting a bona fide purpose of embarking his life and
fortunes permantly with us V
The language of Air. Jefferson spoke the
sentiments of every democrat in the Union, and
with other oppressive laws of the Adams ad-
miuistiation this Alien act was stricken with
indignation from the statute book. The fed
eralists of our day, it would seem have a deep
er hatred of our foreign population than was
manifested by their forefathers; and they pro
pose to make twenty-one years instead of four
teen the necessary term of residence to qualify
foreig ners for citizenship.
Are the people ready for another ALIEN
LAW? Are the blessings of this free govern
ment to be denied to the oppressed of the old
world? Is this the mission of democracy ?—
Are we to erect walls and barriers to shut out
the subjects of tyrants and despots who seek
our shores to enjoy the rights, the liberty they
are denied on their own—the men who in the
matter are what we ourselves ouce were, and
what we still should be but for the sympathy
and aid they extended to us in the days of our
adversity 1 Was it to establish feelings and
doctrines like these that Lafayette, Steuben,
Barry, DeKalb, and a host of illustrious forei
gners, fought to establish American indepen
dence ? Is it right to require of every foreign
er who shall come among us all the duties of
citizens and deny them tne rights of citizens ?
Shall they pay taxes, perform military service,
and in ail other respects be neld liable to do
the duties of citizeus, and shall they be denied
the most valuable rights of citizens l
We appeal to every domocrat in the Union,
to every friend of human rights, to every lover
ofjustice—above all we appeal to the ADOP
TED CITIZENS of this land, who are most
nearly interested in this right settlement of this
question—to come out and oppose by word, bv
influence and by deed the party* who are pre
pared and ready to deprive them of the rights
and privileges for the very purpose of enjoying
which they left their own country and came to
this—to establish and secure which to all was
the purpose and object of the American Revo-
lulion.
From the Savannah Georgian.
Air. W. S. Archer, the legal and known ex
pounder and representative of whig principles
in the Senate of the United States, and the a-
vowed political friend of the great ‘embodiment’
—Henry Clay—uses the following expressive
language, in his late very social correspondence
with the “Native American Association” ol
New York.
“At the ensuing session of Congress I sliail
set our ball in motion. It will be driven back
for a time, for the slang—“Asylum ot the op
pressed of all nations,” is just now ascendant,
importing as it really does in all its results, that
the oppressed shall be received here without
restrain?.
“ But we shall subdue the slang. As politi
cal men conic to find that they may express
their nausea for it with impunity, «$*c.
“W. S. ARCHER.”
The following is a fresh letter from Mr.
Clay. It is, if possible, more explicit in re
gard to the Tariff, than his former letter on
the same subject.
Ashland, 9th September, 1844.
“Gentlemen—I this day received your let

added, that—“Americans will not allow

Ami even this language was not plain or bit- ’

derstood. We q’loto once m re from its col

The Cincinnati Gazette, the leading whig pa- ;

I am of opinion that the operation of the tariff
of ’42 has been eminently salutary; that I am
di ided/y opposed to its repeal; that I should
regard its repeal as a great national calamity,
and that I am unaware of the necessity of any
modification in it. I am therefore opposed
alik e to its repeal or modification. A fixed and
stable policy is what the country now most
needs, and I sincerely hope that the 1 ariff of
1842 may be maintained, and thus afford a se
curity for that desideratum.

The following arc the returns, so far as received
up to the hour of going to press. Tito democratic
gain, it will be seen, although not sufficient to
elect Col. Chappell—with the gain in the other
counties, are sufficient to show that the constituen
cy who elected him—the people of Georgia—would
again return him, if the election was in their hands,
and not in a district gerrymandered by the whigs.
To our friends throughout the State and UnioD, we
say be of good cheer. The democrats of the Third
District, if beaten, ate not discouraged. The sun
of democracy will shine on every battle field in
November. We have already reduced a majori

ber of his fellow citizens, addressed them on the
present state of parties at the North, and the dan
gerous consequences of the alliance between Nor
thern and Southerq Wliiggcry. Previous, to his
arrival, the meeting was addressed by H.. J. La
mar, in a speech replete with sound argument and
convincing eloquence, proving himself a “chip of
tlie old Block,” and satisfying all that the reputa
tion of this talented family had lost nothing in bis
debut. Mr. Lantar was interrupted, however, by
the arrival of Col. Bailey, and abruptly brought
his remarks to a close.
Col. Bailey was then loudly called for, and be
ing introduced by the Chairman—Col. Henry G.
Lamar, gave a detailed statement of his recent ad
venture. He portrayed the difficulty he experi
enced in obtaining aid to discover where his negro
had been concealed. Receiving none from his
Whig friends, he applied to strangers, and the first
man who carne to his aid was a Magistrate at
tached lo the Democratic party. This gentleman,
although an officer of the Law, and kuowing full
well the hazard he ran, boldly avowed his deter
mination to assist him in the recovery of his prop
erty, though the penalty if convicted of the offence,
was 10 years imprisonment in the Penitentiary of
Vermont. With this assistance, on the second
day’s seared, they found Col. B’s negro concealed
in the garret of a house belonging to an Abolitionist,
where she had been carried and was engaged to work
for S12 per year. We have not time to follow Col.
B’s narrative to < lie end ; it is sufficient for us to
state that he was pursued through the New Eng
land States by these blood-hounds—his only de
fenders, the Democrats, whom he had the good for
tune to meet with. Having secured his negro, he
returned to .Vermont, where, shortly after he was
arrested. And here again the marked distinction
between the two parties was most striking. On
one hand the Whigs and Abolitionists combined,
would have the Sheriff incarcerate him, while he
a little more humane, permitted him to enjoy Ins
liberty until the Triai. At the trial, the same hos
tility on the one side, and warm disinterested friend
ship on the other was evinced. Even the Demo
crats of that gallant State, New Hampshire, were
there, and contended with the spirit of our own dear
South for the rights of one ofher children, a stranger
to them—but yet bound to them by the lilUly ties
of the Union and the Constitution-
Col. Bailey was acquitted from the insufficiency
of ihb' Jestimony. Nothing else saved him, could
they lmvc proved that he had forcibly carried away
his slave, (which was the fact,) his conviction and
Col. Nutt’s would (five been inevitable.
It is to be regretted' .’hat every Whig in'Gcorgia
did not hear him ; could they have learned from
his lips as we did, all the an.' used to excite public
opinion against bim, and not oniV the community
generally, but even his aged mother, until she. too
was almost ready to believe him guilty pf a hein
ous crime, they would have cut asunder the bonds
of party and stood up once more for and with’ the
South.
Col. Bailey then alluded to the efforts made in
the last week’s Messenger, to prove that the people
of the North were unwilling to disturb the institu
tion of slavery. He denied the fact, and stated
that in tlirce of the New England States, viz : Ver
mont, Massachusetts, anil Connecticut, Laws have
been passed, making it penal for any of their citi
zens to aid a slaveholder in recovering his properly
when it may have "been stolen, or have absconded
into one of these states—a right guaranteed to us by
the constitution, and which some of their most
eminent attorne ys have contended was uull and
voijl ; thus virtually enacting Nullification while
these base knaves rail at South Catolina, for her
disorganizing doctrines.
He then briefly alluded to the Texas question,
and showed conclusively, that it was the very sal
vation of the South and her institutions. He sta
ted what he knew, and we all know to be a fact,
that opposition to the admission of Texas at the
North, atose from their repugnance to any increase
of political power at the South, and that all their
most intelligent citizens, well knew that the annex
ation of Texas, would strengthen and perpetuate
slavery, and thus give us greater weight in the
councils of the nation.
He concluded, by assuring the meeting that so
! long as the Dcmocmtic party pursued tlu-ir pre-
i sent course, it should have his vote and support.
After Col. Bailey concluded, the meeting ad

These returns will give Pratt (Whig) 399 major
ity in the Slate, if our returns, and our estimate for
the Glades in Alleghany county, published in the
Globe last night, were correct.

Henry to Cassius.
Here is another epistle before the ink is dry on tlie paper
in which leave was taken of that which we are assured was
the last. But this, it seetns, has found its way into the news
papers without the least agency of either Cassius or Henry
Clay. The public will naturally inquire liow this occurred.
It is thus stated m the Albany Atlas :
Double Dkalixg.—The following letter, as we leant
from the Evening Journal, from which we take it, was
written by his kinsman, Cassius M. Clay, ami was sent, un
der cover, to the Hon. Willis Green. Air. G. forwarded it
from Washington, under cover, to Mr. B. Blum, of New
York. Mr. Blunt delivered it to Mr. Greeley of the New
York Tribune, for Mr. C. M. Clay, Mr. Greeley, it is said,
lost the letter from his pocket, and it was found and publish
ed in the New York Democrat.

“Mr DEAR SIR—I receive.! your favor of the 10th inst.,
in which you state that you will be in Boston on the 19th,
where it is impossible this letter can reach you; and I
therefore send it to the Hon. Willis Green, to be forwarded
to you.
I atn perfectly persuaded of your friendly intentions, at>d

Messrs. Editors :—
It Seems that no man can presume to think
or act for himself, if he has ever !- kinged tc
the Whig party of Georgia, without drawing
upon himself, peraonnally, a pack who stand
ever ready to bay for the party. ,1. have
made their onset upon me in the I ; ‘MY. ti
ger, simply because I cared to express my in
dividual opinion when civilly asked, and sun
dry certificates are given that my opinions are
erroneous.—As to the truth or error of those
opinions, the future will settle that matter. I
might give a host of certificates substantiating
the. truth of my statements : nay, I could give
extracts from Whig papers at the North, ac
knowledging that a majority of tha Abolition
ists were from the Whig party. ;n**l that they
were thereby in danger *»f defeat; and 1 say
again, ite.mo honest man tliere ever denied it
to me : but I disdain certificates. The people
of the South may believe me or not. as they
please;. I shall stand as good a clia cc as
others, let what "ill come hereafter.
1 put it to ®very cand d Georgian to say, if
this is not a singular state oftltings. Tlie peo-
pie of the South atv reviled and denounced as
Barbarians, rhieves, Robbers ai d Hypocrites
by the wholesale at the North, their property
constantly stolen from them, and their citizens
imprisoned m the penitentiary if th* y attempt
to regam it; and not emm.-nt with tlii.-i, t.ao
whole Whig party of the North press upon
the National Legislature Abolition petitions,
denouncing to the world the citizens of the
South as thieves, r fibers :n d hypocritts: and
vet, if a citize of the South d res to speak
against this imm tculati Wl ig party at the
North,or simply give it as his opinion that they
are enemies of the South, he must be denounc
ed and reviled inst spirit and style of vulgarity
that would make ever, the Abolitionists them
selves biush ; and this, not by the great Whig
leader, John Q. Adams, but by his allies in the
South. Here lies all our dancei : the South
could defy tbe hostility of the world united, if
all hef citizens would be true to her; but such
is the delusion of [tarty and the love of office,
that in the hour-of peril she will be betrayed
to the enemy for “thirty pieces of silver.”
But it was unnecessary to certify that the Whig
party at the North are not Abolitionists, for 1
never said they were.— IJut I now shy that tin v
are Abolitionists as to the Territories. Tht-v

ought to fie admitted with Slavery. Does

scope to speak their minds without infrin
the rules of politeness, and I came to a settled
conviction in my own mind, that a majority of
the Democratic party at the North, er= the
warm friends of the South, and that a majori
ty of the Whigs there are out enemies—that a
large majority of the Abolitionists are from
the Whig ranks, no honest men at the North
pretends to deny. But that there are many
Abolitionists front the Democratic ranks, and
many good friends among the Whigs is just as
certain.
This state of things is easily accounted for;
the Democratic parly at the North, is with
few exceptions, the same that sustained the
country during the last war while neatly all
the leaders of the Whigs in New England are
tlie old Federalists of the worst school. The
Democrats retain all their ancient hatred of
British arrogance and aggression, and tliere-
tore, when lite British slanJ®*" *^ ie Southern
people or aggress upon tMr rights, they feel
it an insult to thenteel’-os nS Americans, while
the Federalists side with Engi ind and join in
her slanders of th" Southern people.

Now, as to the extract of a letter—certainly
that letter is mine. It is to be regretted that
