Thomas JEFFERSON VS.. NATIvE1sM.-In his
first annual message to Congress, the illustrious
JEFFERSON took decided ground against the doc
trines new coptended for by the |" Natives " in
regard to foreigners. Here is the extract:
/" cannot omit recommending a revisal of the
Jaws on the subject Of naturalization. Consid-
ering the ordinary chances of human life, a de-
NAL of citizenship under a residence of fourteen
years is a DENIAL to a great proportion of those
who ask it, and controls a policy pursued from
their first settlement by many of these States,
and still believed of consequence to their pros,
perity. And shall We refuse the unhappy fugi-
tiVes from distress that hospitality which the say,
ages of the wilderness extended to our fathers
arriving in this land? Shall oppressed humanity
find nc asylum on the globe?"

A VILE PLAGIARIsT,

We have always said that the idiotic fool who
conducts the Standard was not capable of writing
a single sentence, which would be proof against
correclion-and we have said this, because we
knop it to be a fact, from our knowledge Of the
mans capacities. Occasionally a tolerably well
written article appears in the editorial columns
of that delectable sheet, and his Roorback read
ers, after perusing it, will e~xclaim, George is
no fool, after all ~ Now we f~earlessly assert
that every sensible article that has appeared in
the columns of the STANDARD as editorial, is Ell
Their plagiarized, Or written by some person other
than the idiot. This we can prove; for We re-
ceiye several leading Roorback sheets in ex-
change, and nearly every week we find that's era,
zy George takes articles from them, and after
changing a word here, erasing word there
transposing q word in another place, and inter
polatihg the piece throughout, he dishes up an
article as an editorial Of his own, and sometimes
receives considerable credit for astuteness, from
those who don't know that he is " crack-skul

This young but lourishing territory has just
adopted a Constitution, and is now ready to be
received into the Union. The Ohio Statesman
of the 18th publishes the Constitution at length,
and says it is truly republican in its provisions,
and exhibits a proper feeling in the makers of
this fundamental law of that territory. Its provi-
sions in relation 10 corporations, banks, and COM
mon schools, arc admirable, and show that intel
ligence and a jealousy of incorporated wealth 90
hand in hand. We are rejoiced to find that the
pablic mind is waking up to this subject, and that
they consider it of sufficient magnitude to en-
graft on the Constitution.
No corporation can run longer than twenty
years without renewal
No bank can go into operation without first
being submitted to the popular voice.
Tndicidudt liability is made a constitutional
provision!
The power 10 repeal all corporations is forever

The provisions for the support Of schools and

We regret the necessity Of chrouicleing the
fact, that Cadiz at present and for some time past,
has been unusually unhealthy. We publish to-
day several deaths, which have all happened with
IN a few weeks. It this moment, we are told,
about sixteen persons are confined by various
diseases to sick rooms. This, we think, is a
large number out of a population of about 1000
souls. We are no alarmisi, and desire not to ex-
cite uneasiness in the minds of any person eth
er in town or country. What causes so much
sickness in Cadiz, when other towns in the vici-
nifty have escaped, we are unable 10 tell. We
occupy an elevated positicn-the atmosphere
which surrounds us IS pure, inyigoraiing and heal
.hy-the water we drink is cool, clear and pleas
ant TO the taste-and there are no standing or
siagnant pools of wafer in the y%ieinity, from which
miasmi or %,noxious air might arise. The disea-
ses which most prevail ara said by our physicians
not to be epidemic, yet more than one member
of a family has been attacked, while other fami-
lies have entirely escaped. We would be pleas.

conVenientto communicate TO the public, through
the medium Of our columns, his opinions in re
gard to the causes of so much sickness prevail

borhood, have entirely escaped. An essay o
this description would doubtless prove interest

TT STILL,

The Federal party having lost large suns of
money on the election Of Henry Clay, are now
resortmg to the most contemplate tricks, to a
void "forking over the dough-" The Steuben-
vile Herald, and other sheets of that ilk, have
concocted the story That the Democratic electors
of New York and Pennsylvania, will not cast
their electoral votes for JAMES X. Polk for Pres
ident. This is a perfect Roorback, and was got
up 10 Induce the Democrats to believe that the
election Of President would devolve upon the
House of Representatives, and that being the
case, the Democrats might consent TO withdraw
their bets, We presume the reputation of the
Federal party, for frauds, lying and Roorba;k-
ing, is now so well established, that their abolni-
nablo falsohoods will never again be noticed by
the Democracy.

DANIEL WEBSTER AND SATAN.

note on Mr.. Webster's speech:
"The archangel of whiggery, Daniel Webster,

ELECTRo-MAGNETtC TELEGRAPH.

The scientific facts on which Pref Morse's in

gress;
First That current of electricity will pass to
any distance along oondu connecting the two
poles ola voItaic battery generator Of electricity,
and produce visible effects at any desired points

Second That magnetism is produced in piece
OF soft iron (around which the conductor, in its pro-
gress, is made to pass) when the electric current is
permitted to flow, and that the magnetism
when the current Of electricity is prevented from
flowing. This current of electricity is produced and
destroyed by breaking and closing the gayanc cir
cult at the pleasure ofthc operator of the telegraph,
who the manner directs and controls the operation

the iron above is drawn towards it; and the style TO

this, being carried forward by the machinery which

MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT.

Mr. Henry Kellogg, eldest Of Hon. Daniel
Kellogg, Of Rockingham, in this County, was drown
ed in the Connecticut al Westminster, the 10Th

were bathing in the river, and attempted 10
from the main shore TO an island in the centre Of the
river. The distance proved 10 be greater than they
anticipated, and in consequence of a strong south
wind the waves were rolling with considerable VIC.
lence, so that it made swimming slow AID hborious.
When within short distance Of the island, Mr. Kel.
logss strength gave and he called upon Mr. FIcm

must be drowned. Mr. F. Immediately went TO his
aid. and attempted in the first place reach the is
land with his friend, but finding The current would
take them below the island, they forced to turn
about and make for the main shore. The waves
were dashng over their heads, greatly impeding their
progress and before they could reach the shore Mr.
Kellogg's strength completely failed, and Mr. Flem-
ing became entirely exhausted that he could rem
der further assistance and in danger of losing
his own life, and obliged to leave Kellogg to his
dreadful fate. Mr. kellogg acted with wonderful
GOODNESS and self possesson during Tho whole time,
seemed to be aware that lie could not reach the
shore, and voluntarily assured his companion that he
would mt grasp him Or hold on to him so 10
danger his safety, and when the awful moment came
that Fleming could help him no longer, he readily
let him go, and quietly and without murmur, re-
signed himself to his fate. Fleming gave the alarm
as he reached the shore, and immediate
effort was made rescue him, but too late !
