In Mobile, there is to be seen the
tomb of a Scotchman, who, v hen
| living, must have been ain eccentric
character. lie was ne|of theIhfst
settlers of that city, and at one Pe-
riod owned half of It's hmitsl A
short time before he was takeh Ill,
he ordered his tomb Ia be credited,
and the work was commenced Ii
was still progressing while LII ldy
sick III his room, and he wasso fear
ful 1t would not be seady for him
when lie should "shuillc off this
mortal coil,n that he kept his folks
constantly on the Jump to see that
there were mo delays in It's con- pie
tion. Sn fe enough, his dying hour
came, and the tomb WINS not fin
ished. lleathen commenced u h0st
violent vol Hey of oaths against the
builders, and continued swearng
terribly up TO the very momeHt OF
his death.

SWEEPING THE COUNTRY.

That the Americans are sweeping the eoun-
try, is pretty evident from the recent elec-
ton returns in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Delaware, Indiana and California. In al
luding to this matter the Baltimore Clipper
has pertinent round or two:
The Know Nothngs, as the Americans are
called, are sweeping the country. State al
ter State, and city after city, is yielding to
their power. Pennsylvania, Ohio and lndi-
ana have goine in their favor, and New York
will probably follow suit. We think it like
ly that they will have majority in the next
House of Representatives and that an imme-
date movement will be made to change the
naturalization laws and TO prohibit foreign
felons and paupers from being sent to the
United States. Nothing less will content the
American people. They have too long been
made the victims Of foreign interference and
foreign vice, immortality and crime, to toler-
ate it further; and as the elections OF mem
bers of Congress occur, measures will be ia
ken to select no man WHO will not carry out
American principles. In Maryland the
Americans will sweep out of power every
man who is the advocate Of the present cor
rupt system. In every State the same process
will be adopted, until the Congress of the
United States shall present body of men of
established American principles, and resolved
to act for American interests.
Never was there witnessed greater revo-
ton in public sentiment than has taken place
within the last twelve months. Old fogy
politicians We're accustomed to dictate, and
generally for the interests Of foreigners. The
foreign vote swayed our elections-local,
State, and general-and foreign insolence be-
gan to demand Offices. 1t assumed to remodel
our government--to abolish the Sabbath and
all religious services-to put down the pub
lie schools and to make the American people
subservient to foreign rule--and but for the
organization of American societies, and their
determined resistance to foreign encroach
ment, our country might soon have been de-
livered into the keeping of foreign infidels,
or bigots, to be trampled upon and scourged
at pleasure. But-thank Heaven-the prop
er spirit is spreading over the land, and here
after Americans viii rule their own country.
Time-serving and corrupt politicians are being
rebuked and driven into retirement every
where, and the protectors of civil and reli-
gious liberty are getting into power to carry
out their principles. This is glorious change,
and argues well for the perpetuity of our free
and enlightened system of government, which
will return to its former American and pat
riotic course.
The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1854-11-03

eV By the annual statement of the Sec
Rotary of State, presented to Congress at the
last session of Congress, it appears that there
arrived in the United States during the year
1853 the following number of passengers :
Males 1886; females, l64,lSl; total, 400,-
TIT. OF these there were citizens of the u
States, males, 2S,572; females, 1862: total,
32,l34- leaving of aliens a sum total of
36s,643. The larger portion of these were
fIom Ireland and Germany. The Secretary
of State says the report, like all which have
preceded it for the last twenty years, cannot
claim that accuracy and comprehensiveness of
detail which the law contemplates. The la
bic giving the ages Of the passengers shows
that persons between twenty and under
twenty-five years of age were the most nu-
merous, there being 9S,609; whilst the same
table shows that hope never dies with man,
Cor there were of forty years and upwards
44,O5l who sought new homes in the western
world.
