Any other plan than 10 remove or alter
the alien franchise, by amending or alter
ing the State Constitutions, is opposed to
Deuocracy-not the EEouIRER Democra-
cy OF Hamilton Co., but the unadultorated
Democracy of America. Is it proposed to
We or alter the alien franchise BY act
o. ess? Congress has not power TO
pass such,an act, be il an amendment or re-
peal Of the naturalization laws; and hence
the States would not be bound by its ac-
ton. Repeal or amend those laws, and
You only atfct tweny-six States, those
that require citizenship of alien voters, and
those thatrequire declaration of intention
TO become citizens; and how long would i.
affect Mems No longer than the time
requisite TO altcr their Constitutions, But
as Congress has now power to legislate on
this subject, tits absurd to propose legisla-
ton by it. t-+ t~t
Is it proposed 10 amend the constitution
of the United States? So as to give Con-
gress power to acts That would be con-
solidation or tyranny, 1t would consoli-
date powerinto the hands Of the few. Con-
gress over the many; the States are the
people. 1t would be impossible to get
every State 10 agree to particular a
mendment Of the federal constitution
Three fourths of the States might agree to
it, but all rrouid not. Amend the Consti-
tuition then so as to enable Congress olegis-
late for the States, in reference to foreign
voting--what is the result? You have one
or more States bound by law of Congress
to which it is opposed. To bind upon A
State, as upon man, an obligation to
which tits entirely opposed, is tyranny, if
there be such thing as tyranny. Consoli-
dation and tyranny arc uh-democratic, and
every democrat should give them his stem,
hearty, inAexible opposition. a.
Let each State govern itself, manage It's
own concerns,and ithas the exclusive right
TO say in its Constitution, who shall, and
who shall not vote.-Cin. Times.

FARrER,s OLuR.

In another column of Io-day's paper will
be found the Constitution of recently
formed Farmers Agricultural Club. A
multiplication of societies of this character
would doubtless cxertsa very great and
beneficial influence on the noble science of
Agriculture, and it isno., therefore, ,MitbS
out much pleasurable emotion that we
make room for the publication of their
Constitution, Societies of this character
not only contribute largely to the develop
ment of the resources of the county but
also to local attachments. They are fro
quenily the means Of transforming what
is only tame meadow and bleak aspect,
into an Eden Of interest and delights
They give bit of soil, too insignificant to
find place in the gcographyof the earth's
surface, such an Importance in the eyes of
its possessor, that he finds it more attrac-
tive than countless acres of unknown and
unexplored territory" A man must of
necessity become interested in the pursuit
of Agriculture before he can make it profit
able, and we know of no way better calcu-
lated to accomplish this end than making
Agriculture theme for conversation and
debate. We trust the farmers of the coun-
ty generally will take a deep interest in
placing this society ona firm as well as
lasting basis, and reap incalculable benefits
from its deliberations. r .ti
We will speak Of this matter more at
length hereafter, ',4 "
