We have only time and space TO acknowledge
the receipt of communication from our valued
friend of New Orleans enclosing $40, and a
copy OF the Memorial OF the citizens OF Louisi
ana TO Congress OH the subject of the Nalural-
cation laws. which we hail with joy, especially
as it comes under the auspices Of the most re-
spectacle Names and several thousand signatures.
We now take occasion TO state that we recev-
ed, on e former occasion, $40, which was appro-
pristed to purposes indicated in the accompany.
ing letter to u.s. and we promise similar faithful
application Of that just received.
The fund generously put in our hand, To
cover postage on communications, was indeed
exhausted but our friend must know that while
we appreciate his consderate liberalty in thus
relieving our paper from this incumbrance in the
incipent, and therefore most critical period OF
its existence, the taking out Of the Post Office Of
his acceptable contributions, could not be made
to depend on the presence Of remainder of that
fund. We are sorry that circumstances which
can never be lost sight Of, constran US to with
hold from our friends in Louisiana that public
manifestation Of our favorable notice Of them
which their patriotism and zeal SO eminentIy de.
serve.
Blu, if we could erect pyramid to commemo.
rate the patriotism Of modern days, we would
employ the hand Of history to inscribe on it the
names Of those worthy sons Of our land in Louis
lana, in letters of gold.

who RI ported this S.l as Chairman Of The Seler
Committee appointed to IKE charge Of the mr.
MORALS on the subject to which they relate, bu
on seeing it stated in the daily papers among the
congressional proceedings, that this motion was
objected to, we were induced to inquire whence
il came and 70 our great surprise learned that i,
proceeded from Mr.. Csmbrelling, New York
City member. For what reason this motion,
looking to matter of such vital importance and
imperiously demanding immediate attention, was
opposed, we have no means Of ascertaning. But
as we can conceive Of no adequate reason we
are compelled to attribute il to motives the most
rcprehensible. If it had come from some other
quarter it might have been ascribed to ignorance
or heedlessness; but as Mr.. Cambreling lives
where he daily witnessed that oppressive evil
and insulting practice which that report was
made to remedy and repel, his opposition SUBJ
jects him to unqualified censure. What plea can
be offer3 None Of a redeeming nature Isno-
rance would be culpable and party motive Grim
inal.
Does he expect by such course to secure the
support Of the alien population, in some future
contest, whose political privileges, it has been
fooishy and falsely said, that report will Affect
If SO, we sincerely hope his support may be con-
fined exclusively TO that class and that defeat
and shame may await him in every attempt.
We hope the day is not distant, when the
Native American principle will be the sine qua
non of eligibility for Office.

In the Senate, petition was presented BY
Mr.. CLAY, from Doctor E. Theller.

In the Senate, petition was presented BY
Mr.. CLAY, from Doctor E. Theler.
Mr.. CLAY, having briefly stated the import
Of the petition, remarked, in effect, that he
would not now call in question the right OF
Great Britain to condemn and punish for treason
any individual found in rebellion against her au-
thorities within her territory; but this petition
er stated that he had been condemned on the
express ground that he was only naturalized
citizen Of the United States and was native
of the British dominions; and he further stated
that he would have been executed under this
sentence, if he had not escaped from his prison
in Quebec.
Surprising these statements to be correct, Mr..
&. felt compelled to say that, if the tribunals OF
Great Britain condemned this individual on the
ground that he was naturalized, aud not ma
tive citizen Of the United States then the United
States were bound to demonstrate, aud 10 remon-
strate in the most efectuai manner. Ii the Pc
titioner had been condemned, as any native
American citizen would have been condemned,
for rising against the authorities of Great Bsi-
tain, Mr.. q. would now have had nothing to
say; but he must, aud would, insist that all TO-
reigners from whatever quarter, who had been
na,praized as citizens Of the United States, had
a right, and ought to be protected in all the

ton, one of which was by treaty, which here.
tofore had not proved successful. 1t might be
done by direct act Of Legislation, which should
indicate to Great Britain that we should, at all
hazards, protect all our citizens, whether native
or adopted from foreign countries under our
Constitution and laws, without Determinations,
and all on the same broad loutng Of equality.
Without indicating what ought to be done in
This case. Mr.. C. moved that the petition be
nrinted and referred TO the Committee Oh Fo-
reign Relations.
After the above memorial was presented, Mr..
NoRvELL, of Michigan, observed that I" he con-
Cured with the memorialist in the praise award
ed to the emigrants from Europe to this country.
He said they were among our most iseiui ana
patriotic citizens. We have not seen that me-
mortal nor do we know what amount OF praise
Dr. Theller has best owed on emsrants, himself
one Of them: hence, we cannot say 10 VIVA

needs qualification. 1t is readily admitted '"a'

NOKFOLK, Jan. IT.
By the arrival Of the brig Susan, Capt. Cope
land, from Kingston, Jamaica, we have the Des-
patch and Morning Journal of the Gath ultimo.
The Assembly was in session, and the angriest
debates on local topics marked its progress day
by day. The press is highly infamed; and bold
charges and determinations only are heard. The
intelligence from St. David's was, that the eide
want apprentices chad taken to the hills, and
were throwing down stones on the works and
overseers' houses The Despatch, i'll abiding
to the long Christmas HOLIDAY at hand, and the
disgusting vices of the negroes, expresses the be.
lief that they will never return to the plantations
again; and adds, that, ''if we the British whites
escape any serious calamity, we have Gods Pro-
violence, and not the Executive wisdom, to
thank. '-Norfok Beacon.

The New Fork Truth Teller, hitherto an
Irish Locoioco paper, we understand takes
ground against Mr. Van Buren.-Madisonian
1t will be remembered by our readers that this
New York Truth Teller is paper published by
foreigner who fought against US in the British
army during the late war with England: tina,
this foreigners son, nevertheless was appointed
a cadet at West Point, which situation had been
sought by, and refused to hundreds of the best
blood of the country transmitted from the veins
of the old revolutionary stock, and recommended
by the honest calling, the responsibility and
known worth OF their ancestors, or their imme-
date Progenitors, the support of whose families
depends upon the daily exercise Of honest indus
try in tillins the earth, uusophsticated by the
selfish motives, and unused to the unholy means
OF party. These are the men who, in the manly
self.respect and honest integrity Of their hearts,
never once thought that rewards of merit were
bought by base Aattery and party scrvility as
in the case before US. If it be fact that this
unprinciped alien has deserted his benefactor, i,
is nothing but what might have been expected,
and still more deserved by the President Of the
United States for his dereliction Of duty to his
countrymen; and who, for very shame, should
hide his face from those whose trust he has abu-
sed, and whose confidence he thereby forfeited
Let the People consign all such to the narrow
limits Of private life, to repent Of their perfdy
we would not urge word against the politica
career of Mr.. Van Buren,, or any other politi
clan, upon party grounds; but when any man
puts himself in the category of treachery to his
own blood and brothers, we say TO him-be-
ware, set yourself apart from the patriotic your
own people, as one who has committed crime;
and like the bIood-stained culprits of the Jews,
in the days of DID, hide yourself in city of re-
fuge.
