NATURALIZATION.

If any thing is wanting prove the innate hostility
of Federalism to foreigners and to their partcipa
ton in the rights and privileges of American citizens,
it to be found in the vote in the Senate of the Uni
ted States on Monday, Mr.. Walkers proposition
to reduce the term Of probation which is required
of every person Of foreign birth, before he be
naturalized. Mr.. Walker proposed that, instead of
performing sort of quarantine purgaton for fve
years. foreigners should be admitted to naturalization
in too gears, complying with the other regulations.
1t was proposition in fact, to restore the law to
the form in which it stood at the very commence
ment of the Government, two years being then con-
sidered sufficient, either test of the sincerity of
foreigners intention to become citizen, of a
proper appreciation his part of the responsible
ties and privileges which naturalization carries with
it. 1t proposition to continue the reduction of
the period of probation which has been gradually go
ing on, under the progress of liberal and enlightened
sentiments this subject, until, from term of four
teen years. it has been brought down to fire, and that
without realizing any Of the dreadful results which
Federal alarmsts have all along insisted upon as the
natural consequence of any, the slightest, modifca-
ton of existing impediments in the way of naturali-
cation.
1t is scarcely necessary to say what the fate of Mr.
Walkers proposition was, in body constituted po-
tically is the present Senate of the United States
The Federalists who hold the power there to reject
or adopt any measure, refused Mr.. Walker leave to
introduce his bill They would not so much
terrain the proposition for one moment! The ordi-
nary courtesy of hearing and vote on the merits
of his bill was denied to the Mississippi Senator
This extraordinary course was taken, as Mr. Archer,
the chief Federal spokesman confessed, in order to
make example of the bill itself-to stamp it with
ODIUM and ignominy, at the outset-by refusing it
admttance! Every Democrat present voted to let
the bill come n--every Federalst (save one) voted
to kick the bill out-and they succeeded in prevent
ing the proposition from crossing the threshold of
the Senate chamber
The partisans who thus insolenty slammed the
door of the Senate in the face of the great of
the resident population whose good or ill fortune it
is to have been born a foreign soil, be it remem-
bered are the associates in sentiment and feeling of
the Federal jmto here, who profess so much regard
for the nauralized foreigner on the eve of election,
and claim their votes in return-who do not hesitate
obrude their party appeals to adopted citizens in
to their very churches, to interlard Executive COM
municatons with blarney for the Catholics, and to
speculate upon their religious and national attach
ments

THE MAMMOTH CAVE.

DR.. Mitchell having taken notion that the air
of the mammoth cave favorable for the relief
cure of consumption, and believing himself to be
victim of that disease took up his abode therein at
about mile from the mouth, about the first of April
last, Ga suspicious date, thaD whence he emerged
for the first time towards the close of june his health
and strength wonderfully restored. He says that in
week from the time of going into the cave his cough
was gone and that his appetite and strength
increased daily. He felt lonely the first week, but
soon became reconcied his Solitude and now would
rather live in the cave than elsewhere. The follow
ing is in his words, given by correspondent of
the Journal of Commerce
My opinion of the effect Of the atmosphere OF the
cave is made up from personal observation. have
known the cave for twenty-nne years have been
in it at all of the year, during all kind OF
weather, both day and night During the late war
large quantities of salpetre were made at the cave
and for this prepared the carbonated alkaes, which
are required in large proportion to produce crystal
cation SC. At that time from 80 to 70 hands were
employed in digging up the earth, &C., which covered
the bottom of the cave, and conveying by oxen to
hoppers in the cave, about one mile from It's mouth
During the whole time these men were engaged,
which was for three four years, there was not a
single case of sickness among them.
The atmosphere of the cave is dry-and the tenn
perature even and equal have never known it to
vary half degree through the year, from 60 degrees
of Fahrenheit Combustion goes on well, lights burn
cear-respiration is easy. The earth which had
been xvated and thrown out of the hoppers rem-
pregnates again in about three years, yielding from
to 5 lbs OF nitre to the bushe Animal flesh VIII
not purify in this atmosphere, nor will vegetable
matter decompose. Meat hung up in the cave lew
days, becomes so strongly mpregnated with ntre as
to become unpleasant to the taste. Inc corn GODS
left nv the oxen which were fed in the thirty
years ago, are now in perfect state of preservation
the logs used for water pipes are sound and good.
Animal flesh dries in the cave, and becomes hard.
These facts state, that men of science may compare
my conclusions and any premises together.
AT this season of the year strange current OF air
r,sbes out of the mouth Of the cave; in the winter
the current changes and blows equally strong into the
cave.

THE DICKENS LETTER.

We have received quite number of notes
filed with abuse, in consequence of our remarks
the other day in relation to the letter said to
have been written by Mr.. Dickens. The writ
ers threaten us with every thing terrible. We
would remark, that we care not how many OF
them cruelty us in the usual way-but we request
them not to favor us any farther with their
communications, anonymous or otherwise.
From an article ia the Balti ore Sun of yes
terday, we are frank to acknowledge our belief
that the most Objectionable parts of MIR. Dick
ems letter, as published in many of our ex-
changes. (purporting to be copied directly from
London paper,) were added by some villain
in this country. So far we would do Mr.
Dickens justce--but the manner in which he
speaks of the New World, Brother Jonathan,
Boston Notion, &C., will sub ect him to very
harsh epithets.

HUZZA FOR THE OLD NORTH STATE!
NORTH CAROLINA REDEEMED!

We have only time this morning to give synopsis
of our returns. We have gained in the Senate five
members. and in the House seventeen, which gives
majority of three joint ballot We congratu-
late our friends and the country on this glorious re-
suit. The remaining counties to be heard from will
greatly increase our majority in 1910 ihe Wings
had SO majority on joint ballot! Both branches of
the Legislature are Democratic Repubcan-and in
20 counties the aggregate gain to the Democratic par
ty, on the Governors vote, is 1851 J!
The following are the counties where we have
gained Senators Granville, Northampton Orange,
Stokes, and Suny. :,
For the House, we have gained in Granville, in
Northampton, in Robson, in Moore, in era.
ven, in Stokes, in Surry, in Orange, IN Bruins
wick, in Johnston, and IN Chatham.
We have since heard that in Hartford there
is a Democratic gain of one. In Chowan and
Gates Democratic gain Of one Senator The
accounts respecting BERTHE vary somewhat, one
gives Democratic gain Of two, and another of
three. On the whole, we understand there is,
so far, Democratic majority of seven on joint
ballot

$4,000

Leaving an available amount of
$l,18O,000

The Navy Department had drawn acquisitions on
the Treasury at that time, to meet debts actually due
among which are bills under protest for 81 Ala ,OO0
thus leaving an actual deficit of $444, 600.
There was on hand about 100000 of unissued
Treasury notes, assisted by the accruing revenue
amounting to about $l5OOO0 per week, exclusive of
receipts on unpaid bonds meet acquisitions for the
Army, and the demands of the civil list.
The withdrawal of the of s$64O0O0 to be dis
trbuted among the States, as the statements
and accounts be made up and completed, by viz
of the provisions of the act of the 4th September
last, of which nearly moiety goes to few States
and only about $685., 900 is to be divided among all
the States while it adds materially to the embarrass-
ments of the Treasury, affords the States decd-
ed relief.
No immediate relief from this state of things is an
tcipated unless, what would deeply be depored
the Government could be reconciled to the negota-
ton ofloans already authorized by law at rate of
discount runous in ITSELF and calculated most serious
ly affect the public credit So great is the depres-
sion of trade that if the present bill were to be-
come law, and prove to be productive, some time
would eapse before sufficient supplies would flow in
to the Treasury, WHILE in the meantime, IFS embar-
easements would be continually augmented by the
semi-annual dis ribution of the land proceeds.
Indeed there is but too much ground to apprehend
that even if this bill permitted to become law,
alternating does the proceeds of the land sales an
actual deficit in the Treasury would occur, which
would more than probably involve the necessity of
resort to direct taxation.
Let it be also remarked, that So 900 Of tina pub
lie debt becomes redeemabe in about two years and
half which, at any sacrifice, must be met while the
Treasury always liable to demands for the payment
Of outstanding Treasury notes. Such is the gloomy
picture which our financial Department now presents,
and which calls for the exercise of rigid economy
in the public expenditures and the rendering avail
able of all the within the control of the Govern
ment. | most respectfully submit, whether this is
time to give away the proceeds ofhe land sales, when
the public ands constitute fund which, of all others,
may be made most useful in sustaining the public
credit. Can the Government be generous and NUM-
fcent to others when every dollar it can command is
necessary to supply its own wants. And If Congress
would not hesitate suffer the provisions of the act
of 4th September last to remain unrepealed in
the country was involved in war; not the necessity
for such course just imperative as it would

system of double legislation recently brought
into common practice by this "heading" Con-
gress. The Lord of Ashland being gambler
himself, it seems that all his followers must be
his imitators. Every thing must be accom-
pIished by trick, and ''chedtery," as Col. Ben
ton happily expressed it, To every bill which
they are forced to pass pertaining to the coun-
try, they have recently appended some provso
or section for the benefit of the Lord of Ash
land. 1t matters moi how incongruous they are,
such is the game This has been the uniform
practice this session. The President has shown
the consequences likely to grow out of this
mode of legislation in the Message we spread
before our readers We believe this practice of
uniting different bills of different natures in one
law, is grossly unconstitutional, and tends di-
rectly TO the overthrow Of the Government By
this means, bare majority in Congress can
subvert the liberties of the People. A time may
come when it may be necessary to pass some
simple bill to prevent the dissolution OF the
Union-a bill which to delay, or reject, might be
falkland to such bill bare majority in Con-
gress of "two," or "four," may affix prouiso,
bestowing hereditary Dictatorship on the
Lord of Ashland Let us avoid the dangers of
double legislation in time! Single and una
dulterated enactments, are the best for the
country. Such was the legislation designed by
the trainers Of the Constitution.
This Message will go forth TO the People.
The People must judge of its merits. The po-
itica leaders will show the President no mercy.
The President looks to the welfare of his coun-
try for his guide. He knows he will be reviled
by the partisans of aspirants. But he trusts in
God and the People for justice.
We believe in the Christian religion, though
ever so unworthy of the name of Christian. We
believe in the special interposition of Divine
Providence in behalf of His favored People.
We believe America is under His special pro-
lection. We believe that John Tyler is the in
strument selected to work out His will. We
believe our country is destined to prosper in
spite of the devices of gambling politicians.

THE CHG TARIFF BILL"

From the most accurate calculations that
can be made at the Treasury Department, it
appears that the "big Tariff BILL" if it had be-
come law, would not have yielded revenue
exceeding TWELVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS! The
reason assigned is, that the heavy duties on
many of the most productive articles, aoould
haze excluded them from the market. This
information is authentic.
