right to vote and hold Office to emigrants who
have declared their intention to become natu-
ralized and have taken an oath to support the
Constitution and the act of Congress which
gives them the right to vote and hold office in
Nebraska and Kansas. But the abolitionists
pretend to believe that the oath cannot be taken
until the expiration of five years, on the final
completion of the process of naturalization.
This is sheer nonsense and more than that it
is mean and shallow trick. Freesoilers and
abolitionists are thoroughly hostile, even to
naturalized foreigners. They constitute the
main strength, and are the chief directors of
the new organization which would exclude
even native-born citizens from office if their
parents were foreigners. Therefore, they wish
TO give such a construction to the Nebraska
bill as would exclude foreigners from the right
to vote and hold Office, and yet they have at
the same time the supreme audacity to attempt
to seduce the foreigners to sustain them in their
opposition to the law. We do not think that
we have ever witnessed such bold and unblush,
ing effrontry as this. Surely the repealers must
regard our adopted citizens as dolts and idiots
or they would not attempt to cheat them by
such shallow devices and contemplate bubbles.

Boston, where he would find plenty of friends,
plenty Of employment, and want for nothing;

made up his mind to go to Boston, and be

PUBLIC BUILDINGS--PUBLIC GROUNDS.
These subjects have attracted and are at
tracing large share of attention. Some
months since we presented our views on them,
which it will not be inappropriate to repeat at
this time.
There are three cardinal points necessary to be
considered in the erection of public buildings,
viz: lst fre-proof character I'd, convenient
arrangement, with abundant room; and, Sd,
mutual proximity Of the departments.
The buildings now occupied by the State,
War; Navy, and Interior departments, possess
none Of these indispensable requisites, but on
the contrary, by their absence, aye constantly
exposed to the most serious dangers and incon-
veniencies.
The first great serious defect Of the existing
buildings, is, their combustible character, keep.
ing in perpetual jeopardy documents of the
highest value and last importance, the loss Of
which would be deplorable and irreparable
The loss of the public archives in these de-
partments, would leave such great gaps in
our history, would deprive the government of
such indispensable information, in relation to
our domestic, and particularly our foreign con.
Germs, as would expose us to the most serious
losses, annoyances, and inconyeniencies A
Secretary Of State stripped Of tho archives Of
his department, would, in his intercourse with
foreign nations, be placed in situation alike
so disadvantageous, perplexing, and Notifying,
that posterity would, with great justice, brand
US with reckless disregard of the mum
ments of our history, our rights, and our
glory; while we were wasting millions upon
matters which could readily be deferred, and
while we are actually paying in premiums for
the pricilege of redeeming small portion of
the national debt in anticipation Of its maturi
ty, larger sum than would be necessary to
provide appropriate accommodations for the
acrchives and Offices of government. With
the means in hand and no reasonable excuse
for delay, if nothing more than security we're
obtained by appropriate buildings, it should
suffice peremptorily and promptly to secure
their erection.
The records Of folly, in confding valuable
documents TO combustible buildings, are suffi-
ciently long and sad, of the destruction of docu.
ments, for the recovery Of which, mankind
would cheerfully pay thousand times the ad-
ditional cost which would have been requisite
to render their repositories safe.
But there are other and pressing reasons to
urge the immediate construction Of these build
ings. The business of the departments has SO
greatly augmented; the documents, models,
instruments, cases, &C., have so multiplied,
that all is confusion and constraint. There
being no room for appropriate arrangement Of
the numerous documents, &C., there can be no
stringent responsibility; and it may be safely
asserted as fact that if record were made
Of the losses Of books and documents, they

ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.-Mrs. Gwin,
wife of senator Gwin, of California, il
is stated, has just come into possession
of not less than so, 900 acres, and pro.
badly as much as 100, 900 acres of land,
in Texas, advantageously located, COW
cred with settlers, and is worth from SO
to $50 per acre. The property former
ly belonged to her first husband, Mr..
Logan, wealthy citizen of Texas, who,
some years since, died suddenly, with
out will, but it has for several years
been in the hands of an administrator.
Recently, however, case instituted by
some of Mr.. Logan's heirs, against the
administrator, in the Supreme court of
Texas. was decided, and Mrs Gwin de-
clared to be entitled to the whole estate.
Mrs. Gwin, it is also said, knew moth
ing of the decision until Dr. G. receiv-
ed letter signed Justice calling his
attention to it, and subsequently receiv-
ed confirmation of the intelligence from
Senator Rush. The New York Times,
from which we condense the foregoing,
says: Ee.i .+Urf
Upon inquiry, DR.. Gwin became sat
is6ed that the author of the anonymous
letter calling his attehtion to the right Of
his wife to this estate, was Richard P.
Robinson, of Helen JewetL memory,
who, as is well known to many persons,
settled in Texas years ago. whereshe is
a respectable and wealthy farmer, en-
loving the confidence and respect of the
community where he resides. He in

he was an outcast from the world, which

NIAGARA FALLS NoS-ENTITY.-It is
very surprising, says a late writer, that
two of the greatest natural curiosities in
the world are in the United States, and
scarcely known to the best informed Of
our geographers and, naturalits. The
one is beautiful fall in Franklin, Ha-
bersham county, Ga, the other stu
pendous precipice in Pendleton district.
S. c.; they are both family mentioned
in the late edition of Morse's Geogra-
ply, but not as they merit. The Tue
Goa fall is much higher than the Niagara.
The column of water is propelled beau
tifullybover a perpendicular rock. and
when the stream is full it passes down
without being broken. All the prismatic
effect seen at Niagara illustrates the
spray of Toecoa. The table mountain
in Pendlcton district is an awful preci-
pice of nine hundred feet. Many per-
sons reside within FIVE, seven or ten
miles of this grand spectacle, who never
had the curiosity to visit it. 1t is now
visited by curious travellers, and some
times by men of science.

MoRS1Se.-It is morning. The
bright rays Of the sun are Just emerg-
ing from a misty cloud that shades the
eastern horizon. The sweet notes Of
the feathered songsters greet the ear,
and the beautiful scenes Of nature new

hope.
How much like the morning of life is
this peaceful hour? As the sun rises
still higher, not cloud is seen-not q
single obstruction intervenes to mar the
beauty of the god of day. Soon high
noon viii come, and the sun will have
reached the zenith, only to pass rapidly
onward bringingjn their turn the shades
Of twilight, az still hour of night.

rapid fight, bringing wit the noon
of life, the twilight honrs, and the time
when the sun Of our earthly existence
will set forever. But the sun will rise
again where clouds and disappointments
are never known, and where the immor-
tai mind of man will be free from the
ills sof mortality-free from the trials
and perplexities of limited existence.
How grand the idea-how complete

A BEAUTIFUL APosrRoPHE TO THE
MEMORY OF BYRoN.-Grace Greenwood,
in her last visit to Europe, paid visit,
of course, to Newstead Abbey. in
England, the well-known residence of
Lord Byron, In speaking of the event,
she beautifully and touchingly alludes
to the love of the Poet for Mary Cha
worth:
Strangely sorrowful, almost agoni-
zingly regretful. were the thoughts which
swept over my mind, wave after wave,
and shook my heart like tempest, as I
stood in the place where the young poet
passed many hours of silent, though,it
may be, of lonely wretchedness.
l never before so deeply felt how pas
sing mournful was the story of ByPsn's
first and only love. That Mary Cha
worth returned the passion of her young
spoet-lover l have no doubt; but, like
the Montagues and Capulets, the houses
of Chaworth and Byron were a feud.
Mary had not the strength and truth of
Juliet. and so they parted-a separation
by far more piteous for her, and more
fatal to him, than death amid the full
summer brightness of happy love-
This, not Shakspeare's, was the true
soul tragedy! Might she not have re-
deemed even his wayward and erring
nature by the divinity of a pure and
steadfest faith? But it was not to be!
Mary bestowed her hand upon a man Of
whom little else can be said than that
he ranked among the most eminent
sportsmeu of the day'-lived, it is said,
to weep wild tears over the words which
have linked her name in sorrowful I'M
mortality with her lovers, and died in

Trusting and. dispairing his brother,
swept on his glorious, shameful, sorrow

.deepened, and the long night closed in.

Byron, by his sister Augusta, is plain,

More rocks than you can ever blast?
More weeds than you can kill, sir?''
"Aye, Cobb; but something whispers

But you-what right have you to land?
