NATIVE AMERICAS SOCIETIES.
So long as Ood spares us to hold in sa
cred remembrance the wise maxims of
the conscript lathers of this Republic—in
whatever situation placed, we will raise
our voice against what we conceive to be
obnoxious, intolerant, and anti-American
in the aims of these associations; and as
recent indications have led us to believe
that an effort will be made to get up an
association of this sort in our very midst,
we feel called upon to point out some ot
the reasons why no true republican, no!
real philanthropist, no good citizen, no
man, upholding the doctrines of democra
cy, can honestly unite with any such par
ty. For several years past —indeed we
inavsay for upwards of forty—ever since
the passage of the alien law, by the fed
eral party, during the administration of,
the elder Adams —has the great republi
can party of this country been warring
against those who, like the federalists of
the days of Adams, or the Native Amer
icans of the present day, would exclude
every foreigner from our country, or bind
the hand, as well as shackle the mind, of
every one that comes to our shores, who
will not come and stand as a degraded
man.
The federalists imbibed this prejudice
against foreigners at a very early period
in our history; and it has raukled in their
bosoms ever since, under all the names
they have assumed, ready, whenever they
had the power, to apply it with the great
est severity. But as some of our readers
may not at the moment remember the
origin of this prejudice against foreigners,
we will briefly glance at the causes which
led to it. At the close of the revolution,
after the independence of our country had
been achieved and our present free con
stitution had gone into effect, attracted by
our liberal form of government, and the
equality of rights it secured to all, the
tide of emigration wafted to our shores
the hardy and industrious, as well as the
enterprising and intelligent, population
from the arbitrary governments of every
state in Europe. Escaping, as these men
had, from the oppressions and grinding
exactions of the governments they had
left, it was hot natural that these new
coiners should he keenly alive to the ad
vantagesof our glorious republican forms;
and that they should, after acquiring the
rights of guffiage, generally attach them
selves to the republican party. The fed
eralists were not slow to discover this
fuel; and the very first time they got the
power, the naturalization laws, passed
under the administration of Washington,
requiring only five years previous resi
dence, were repealed; and anew law re
quiring fourteen years residence was pass
id, 1 resides the alien law, by which the
President was invested with the most ar
bitrarv power over the rights of foreign
ers. This was done under the adminis
tration of th ' elder Adams, and shows
conclusively that tins prejudice against j
foreigners »# federal in its origin. Mr. Jef
erson succeeded Mr. Adams, and the very
first session of Congress after his election,
the republican party repealed the odious
alien and sedition laws, and reduced the
term of naturalization to what it hail been
heliire, and what it now is, five years.
Since that time the federalists have not
had the power to abridge the rights of fo
reigners. A portion of them, however,
rallied again as soon as they considered
that there was a chance to elect their lea
der, Henry Clay—an»l their intolerance,
from its long confinement, broke out with
tenfold fury. Renouncing the precepts;
and admonitions of our fathers and out
raging the feelings of every civilized or
christianized people on the globe, by con-;
signing to the flames edifices consecrated
to the services of God and the great cause
of education, because they belonged to
persons who happened to he foreigners
by birth, and differ with themselves in
matters of religious opinion. This Na
tive American party stands out the dis
grace, not only o( the country, but of the}
nineteenth century. It gives evidence of
the existence among us of a spirit at war
with the fundamental maxims of our go-!
vernmenl. It gives evidence of the exis-j
tence of a feeling opposed to that heaven
horn philosophy whose spirit is charity,
and the injunction of whose great Author
and teacher, in happy unison with his
life, was the observance “of peace on
earth and good will to all mankind.” It
is the same spirit which consigned l lie
martyrs to the stake, and applied the fag
got at the massacre of St. Bartholomew.
It is the same spirit that brought Michael
Scrvetus and John Rogers to the stake—
that banished Sherman and others from
their homes, and impaled the unoffending
Quakers. Is there then, a democrat in
this State—is there a good citizen, whig
or democrat, so lost to the elevating con
ceptions of freedom, so dead to the gen
erous examples of otir forefathers, so for
getful of all that ennobles the past or
brightens the future, as to attach himself
to a party that is directed by the vilest
demagogues—against the unfortunate em
igrants who have come to the shores of
the new world in quest of that freedom
which was offered to the oppressed of eve
ry clime, by the immortal Washington and
his sainted compeers. If there is, he is
not a democrat. Such a course would be
at war with the liberalized principles of
<mr creed. The democratic party are in
favor of extending, not circumscribing,
the area of freedom; and are willing that
a 'l good citizens, whether foreign or native,
should enjoy alike all the privileges which
°ur government bestows. As democrats
then, we give—as our fathers of the re
publican family did.’before us—a welcome
to the oppressed of every land. In the
name of their fathers, our generous allies,
welcome them from every clime in
.'trope—from the sunny skies of Italy,
•bom the gardens of the Rhine, from the
'ine-clad hills of France, from the de
sPo'ied and desolated huts of Ireland, as
''nil as from her more favored places.—
'e welcome the Frenchman in the name
' Lafayette and’D’Estning—theGerman,
|bj the ashes of DeKalb that mingle with
j the proud soil ofyonder Stale—the Irish
man, by the memory of the gallant Mont
gomery ;the heights ol Abraham witness
ed his attachment to freedom and his loy
alty to liberty. The Pole, exiled from the
land ol his hirth--deat by all the sacred re
collections of freedom—we welcome him
in the name of Kosciusko—by the lile
blood of Pulaski, that enriches the soil
of our own gallant State,
“ W here points the muse to stranger’* eve,
The grave of him who cannot ihe.”
And although no lofty cenotaphs lift
their spires in solemn grandeur to the
clouds, to mark the place where they rest,
or to preserve the story of their valor and
their noble deeds, their memory will sur
vive the perishing works of art —it is
enshrined in the heart of every American,
and will outlive the fading stone. In the
name, then of these gallant patriots—in
the name of Liberty arid Washington,
we welcome the oppressed of every clime
to our shores, and shall require no other
qualification for citizenship than that now
imposed by the Constitution of the Uni
ted States.
GRAND ILLUMINATION.
The last accounts of the Whig party,
received in this city, are that they had
hauled up at Cayuga bridge, their lead
having taken the stults.
We, still feeling some sympathy (or our
fellow mortals, intend showing up a grand
and magnificent illumination, to help them
out of the bogs and quagmires of that Ru
bicon of the whig party.
We cordially invite our friends from
the country generally, of both sexes, to
he present on next Monday night, to wit
ness the celebration in honor of the Water
loo triumph of iheTDcmocralic party.
THEN AW LOCKED l'P!
The Houston Navy, consisting of the
Harry of the West and other rakish look
ing schooners are said to be. moored in a
certain ware house of this c ity. Having
made hut one celebrated voyage and that
on dry land, we hope it lias not become
like poor Tom Bolin “a sheer hulk.”—
Cannot the member elect of the Ist dis
trict (who, by the way, it is said, was to
be the Secretary of the Navy) suggest
some way to pilot it out of port ?
There certainly is a breeze up and such
a one that will float it on now without the
aid of “ six long tail greys.”
That “Great Whig Ball” too, that thun
dering
“Smoked along tlie ground,”
has suddenly received its quietus. It ran
full butt against the locomotive freighted
down with New York, Virginia, and Penn
sylvania, and burst into ten thousand
atoms. It exploded with such force as
to throw fragments over the entire Union.
One piece broke old Johnny Q-’s specta
cles, another struck the blushing proboscis
of the “God-like,” and another whizzed
so near senator Berrien as to alarm him
as much as if an old English musket had
\ been shot at him. Don’t be alarmed dear
old friend but resign yourself to the decree
of the people.
FLOYD HOUSE.
We have before alluded to the recent
!change which this House, (late Central
Hotel) has undergone, and the admirable
arrangement of alt the appartments of this
establishment, under its present enterpri
sing proprietors. The House is admira
bly kept, has attentive and obliging Ser
vants. The Tables are abundantly sup
plied with everj T delicacy or luxury which
this or the Seaboard Markets afford, and
everv thing is served up in the most re
cherch manner, while we are sure
that it cannot fail to please all who may
favour Messrs. Newcomb & Cos. with their
patronage ; for the credit of the town as
citizens of Macon, we sincerely trust that
the enterprising and obliging proprietors
of this establishment may he generously
and liberally patronized in their underta
king. The House as kept at present, is a
credit, not only to the city, but to the up
country.
ELECTIONS.
Massachusetts, Alabama, Maine, Ver
mont, and Delaware—the three Ibrmer
States voted on the 11th instant, and the
two latter on the 12lh. We have conse
quently no returns from them, with the
exception of three counties in Alabama,
in which the democrats have gained a few
votes since the last State election. All
the states have now voted but South Car
olina. In that State the Electors for Pre
sident and Vice President are chosen by
the Legislature in December.

THE §ONG OF THE BEREAVED.
Wilh features ghastly ami worn,
AnJ the hue of death uu his cheek,
A mourner sat by a new-made grave
Alone, heart-broken, and weak—
Death! Death! Death!
Gleamed in his wandering eye,
And heavy, and short grew lhe mourner's breath
As he groaned his misery 1
“ Dead ! Dead ! Dead !
Arc the loved ones ot my heart!
To the cold embrace of tlieir mother earth
Have I seen each one depart!
Father, Mother, and Wife!
Sister, Brother, and Child!
Each in llieir turn departed this life,
’Till mv brain grew giddy and wild !
“One by one I’ve seen them stretched
In liieirstifl’en’d shrouds of white!
’Till my heart grew dry, and the codin’d clay
Grew familiar to mv sight!
Death! Death! Death!
Hath strip’d me of every lie!
Like a Simoon ii came with its arid breath,
Leaving atl withered and drv !
“Death! Death! Death!
Hath ever rung in my ear.
And mv eyes have ga/.ed on the ghastly thing
’Till my veins fioze up with tear!
Oh, iiir a heart that would break!
Instead of this stony thing!
Like a lump of ice in a burning lake,
, Forever it seems to swing!
“O,ye who have lost no friend!
Little ye know ofthe gloom
That shuts all joy from the sorrowing heart,
’ I'iil it siglies for the quiet tomb!
Oh, God ! for a peaceful bed
Here in this quiet retreat!
Forever to rest my aching head
In Death’s eternal sleep!”
With features ghastly and worn,
And the hue of death on his c’leek,
A mourner sat by a new-made grave,
Alone, heart-broken and weak.
Faintly, faintly grew his breath,
And fixed was his glassy eve—
His story was told,and the angel of Death
With the mourner’s soul swept by!

The fair sc.r in America. —\ ou seldom
see an American lady accompanied in Iter
walks, rides or drives, except on Sundays
by a gentleman. It would be a waste ol
time, and consequently, a useless expendi
ture of money, to indulge in the gentle and
refining society of the female sex. Young
delicate and pretty women are met unpro
tected, clad in the gayest colors. Ibe
lieve they are not denied any ot the inno
cent enjoyments procured by dress and
female society, and they may be seen pa
cing the streets from store to store, and
from hoarding house to hoarding house,
shopping anb paying visits. I his custom
of voung married women not having a
home of their own, but inhabiting those
ne. ts of gossip, called hoarding houses,
seems lo me injudicious and reprehensi
ble. 'l'lie young American wife, and they
marry when almost children, is thus left
all day without the society ol her husband
or the protection of his presince. His con
versation is limited lo the vicious details of
scandal, or the insipid twaddle ot dress;
and in a ploce where all have a right to
enter, the good and well disposed woman
must frequently come in contact with ma
ny who, had she possessed a home ol her
own, would never have been admitted to
her presence. — Mrs. Houston s lexas and

Elk suckled by a JVonian. —A gentleman
ami an old citizen of this city, informed
us a day or two ago, that about twenty
five years since, he was travelling in the
then territory of Missouri, south of the
Missouri river, when he halted at a cabin
occupied by a hardy pioneer and his wife,
with agrowing family of children,among
whom was an adopted four-legged child,
viz: an Elk. The woman informed our
traveller that the saitl animal was caught
while young, from its mother, and of
course was deprived of milk, to supply
which, she taught it to draw her own breast,
and that it had continued to thrive under
such treatment until it had grown to the |
size and perfection nearly approaching
tltat of the perfect animal, as described
in history, which all know is large and
beautiful. The delicacy and tenderness
with which the Elk took its fixxl from the
breast, as described to us, was unique,
both standing, the animal’s head and h ick
forming a parallel line with the woman’s
head; in its younger days the woman sat
upon a seat which was raised higher as
the suckling grew, so as to accommodate
the parties. We give this as a curious
and interesting fact,* worthy of record in
the events and customs of the earlier set
tlers of the great west, which will one day
form a hook of rare interest.— Cincinnati

COMMERCIAL, JOURNAL. ,
COTTON MARKET.
Macon, November 15.
Tin- late accounts by the steamship Hibernia I
from Liverpool, have had rather a depressing io
tiuence on our market; and the amount changing
bands in the lasi week has not been large. We
! quote extremes, 4 a sc. We give the following
extracts from Liverpool letters to commercial hou
ses in Charleston.
Liverpool, Oct. 18.
During the past week holders of cotton have
offered tlieir stocks more freely, and the buyers
have in consequence the turn of the market in their
favor. The sates of the week are 34,610 bales,
of which t4OO on sjieculation, and 1300 for export.
Liverpool, Oct. 18.
The cotton market is in no way improved since
f mine of the 11th inst., but on the contrary some
what easier, owing to the arrival of Ist October
tiacket confirming the estimates of a crop of 23 or
2,500,000 bales. Sea Islands are in very limited
request at from 13 a 14, and few enquired for of
higher value. Stained unsaleable, and much in
terfered with by Egyptians.
Liverpool, Oct. 18.
The cotton market declines, and lair Uplands
are selling at 4 I-2d, and an expectation exists in
: many quarters that we shall deline still. The
spinners are making 1 5 8d per lb. on every pound
they buy and spin. Whether we ate to have
higher or lower prices next year depends on your
crop being over or under 2,000,000 hales—2,soo,-
1 000 would make our prices lower, seeing now at
the end of a season we have on hand 893,333 bales
to meet the new import.
Since our last addressed you, our cotton market
has barely maintained the prices then current,
spinners having had m ire choice presented to them
iiy importers. The latter seem to despair of any
reaction, on account of the continued import ofthe
article from all quarters, and the consequent tinili
minished magnitude of our stock at this late period
ol the year, and when supplies of new cotton will
soon appear in the tnaket. Spinners are confes
sedly light in stock, and as their trade was never
more prosperous, we may anticipate a continued
demand for the anicle. This week they have ta
i kea out of the market a quantity fully equal to the
consumption. The better qualities of cotton are
in very limited request, the demand lieing directed
as usual to the common and middling qualities.
Liverpool, Oct. 18.
Since we wrote on the 3d inst. our cotton mar
ket has continued dull and rather tending down
wards, and would decline materially were it not
supported by the very good business done in Man
chester, and contracts taken lor goods and yarns
at advanced anil remunerating prices. The home
trade continues good, and there is an active de
mand tor yarn (or Germany. Our quotations are
in some instances, extreme ones, better cotton than
the class being offered at the price. The tuture
j range of prices will be regulated, in a great mea
sure, hv the supply; the larger estimates have al
most disappeared, and the present expectation is
' that the crop will range between 2,000,000 and
! 2,800,000 bales. Sea Island cotton is difficult of
sale, and stained almost unsaleable, owing to the
good quality of the Egyptian cotton.
