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. Democratic Republican Cele bration. (T?* The Democratic Republican Party, of this, and the adjoining counties, are res pectfully invited to meet in Macon, on Monday Earning next, the IS th inst. for the purpose of Celebrating the great civil tri umph achieved by the Republican Party of the country, over the Combined Force of Whiggery and Federalism; and as the People of Georgia have contributed so nobly to the honours of the late Victory, and have the highest inducements (or the most sincere congratulations on the glori ous result. It is especially recommended that the Houses and places of Business of our Democratic Friends throughout the City, be Illuminated, on Monday evening, in honour ofthcoverwhelming triumph achie ved by our principles in the State and U nion.

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! Afacon, Nov. 6, 1844. R. LEG.4L INTEREST.

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 the Ct u/f o/ Mexico.

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 paper.

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. !
