Died at her residence in Lowndes county
Miss, of appopexy, on the first Gay of April
l843, Mrs ELIZABETH l.. GRIFFIN, consort OF
Georgia, in the fortieth year of her age. Her
death was extraordinarily sudden-being call
ed to witness the realitics Of eternity within
eight hours from the first appearance of the
disease of which she died.
She has left large circle of acquaintance
friends and'relatives to mourn her death. And
true indeed it is, she has left an afiectionate
and bereaved husband to lament his irrepaiIa
bic loss.
The deceased had long been an exemplary
member of the Presbyterian Church and seem.
ed to have premonition of her apprCa ching
dissolution. A few hours before her death she
expressed her full confidence tlat she would
soon be in The arms Of her Saviour. In hcl
| life, she was the friend Of the needy. The af.
ficted, the widow and the orphan were the
objects Of her peculiar care and attention. II

friend, she was faithful, generous, and sincere

to the contemplation Of more pleas

trict are agreeably disappointed with
Mr.. Goggin, having found him all thai
a Wing could desire, bold, frank, in.
dependent and intelligent gentleman.
We are very sure Of his election; the
abominab!e gerrymander OF this dis
trict almost as long as the Blue Ridge,
with the evident view of electing Gov
Gilmer. and prescribing Mr.. Goggin
has SO incensed all parties in the Dis.

the Gov. will be far from getting the
entire Democratic vote, and not whig
in the District will vote for him. Thi.
may be relied on.

GOGGIN VS.. GILMER.

The candidates for this Congress-
ional district met at Amherst Court
House last Friday. Mr.. Goggin intro
duced the discussion by an able and
eloquent speech far transcending any
conceptions we had formed of the
man. He poured in heavy fire upon
the rank and file the Democracy, but
more scolching and destructive was
the volly received by that non descript
squad ofdoubly recti6ed abstractionist,
of which the Governor is the quintes-.

picture upon the dark canvass oflow-

Aswe conjectured in our last paper, we find,
from the tone Of the "Sentinel" that the Ed.
tors feelings are any thing but respectful to-
wards DIR. Gwinn. We have now no doubt
that he was forced from his position as a can.
didate for Congress by his apprehension of the
"Sentincls" attacks.
We can scarcely conceive anything more
humlliating, not to be grossly dishonest, than
the feelings of an individual who wants the
firmness 10 do what his wishes prompt him to.
and at the same time, under the pretense gof
hIghly dislnterested and commendable motives
attempts to obtain credit for what he is mos
reluctantly compelled to do.

WING MEETINGS.

On the 18th instant, meetings Of the Wings
were held in the counties OF Noxubee and
Kinds, for the purpose of appointing delegates
to the Jackson Wing convention. At the
Noxubee meeting resolution was passed in
structing the delegates to vote for none but
Wings in the convention. A more liberal
sentiment was adopted by the Kinds county
meeting. They resolved THAT those gentle.
men of the Democratic party, who, proving
that their VII tuous impulses are superior tothe
strong letters of party, have ayowed sever
ance ofall political conneSion it'll Rep udiation,

as co-workers in one good principle at least,
This is the proper spirit,in which Wings should

detached themselves from their patty and are
disposed to unite with the Wings in their op.

Naturalization.

Francois writes US that he came to this coun-
try in 1893 under 90 years of age-has yet taken
no steps toward Naturalization, but wants to cast
a vote for Henry Clay next year, and wishes to
know if he is entitled to Naturalization. We be-
Eeve not. We have not the Naturalization La"
at hand, but understand that person must emil
CRATE to this country under Is years OF age TO en-
title him to take out Naturalization papers with
out two years notice of intentions The CON-
mon practice is to bring up somebody to swear
that the applicant has declared to him (witness)
more than two years ago, his intention OF becom-
inc q citizen but we consider this clear eva
sion Of the spirit and letter of the law, which con-
templates formal legal declaration OF intentions
in Court. If our Naturalization Law was better
respected--if its most salutary requirements were
no, shamefuy evaded on the eve OF every Elec-
.ion-tberc would be less clamor for It's repeal.
