Gen. Greene,s Grandchildren. .

Edward +. Randolph writes TO the Intelhgencer
from Iowa, that granddaughter Of Gen. Nathaniel
Greene Is now an inmate of the house Of DR.. Geo.
NJ Hinkle, of Decatur county, in that State. Her
father John Neville Greene, left five children who
are orphans and destitute.
Gen. Greene, it is well known, became involved
in pecunary difficulties previous to his death; STILL
portion of his family are in comfortable, il not
af1uent circumstances. Ifany Of his descendants
are in the state of destitution described by Mr..
Randolph, it becomes the imperative duty of the
government TO provide for them Immediately. Let
II never be said that the grandchildren of the man
who was second only to Washington in the SER
vices rendered to this country in the Revolution,
should be dependent upon the charity Of strangers
for their daily bread

this act, either in terms, or in effect grants
this power to the people of Kansas Territory,

Company repudiate the Kansas ebraska act,
they repudiate "Squatter Sovereignty" but, if
they maintain and defend this act, they main

is but one mode in which the Enquirer can
place itself right on this question, and that is,
by the adoption of the American doctrine on
the question Of sovereignty in the Territories,
and that doctrine will be found distinctly enun-
ciated in the 7th section Of the " American

THE "SAG NIoHT" ORGANIZATION. "Sag
NIGHTS" Secret Order has spread through the West
with wonderful rapidity. 1t is the antagonist of
the Know-Nothing organization. In Ohio, Ken
tucky, and Indiana, there are many thousands of
members and numerous lodges. 1t is said to have
oaths Of unusual solemnity, pass words, signs and
grips, and the members are divided into squads OF
ten, each with a commander who is responsible
for their appearance when their services are re-
quired.
We clip the above from the Pennsylvania, and
are astonished to find that with its well known hos
tity to secret oath-bound political organizations,
it utters no word of dsapprobation. Why not
brand them consprators and traitors The Argus
deprecates the organization but attributes it to the
injustice of the now-Nothings. Why not 60
back step further and charge both upon the Je-
suits The latter for centuries has been an ac-
knowledged oath-bound political organization, but
not Democratic journal in the country has dared
to wag its tongue against this body of sworn con-
spirators Indeed they advocate and encourage
them, thus showing that their opposition to the
Known othings is all hypocrisy.

Correspondence.

WARRKNros, April 80, 1856.
The Democratic District Convention had con-
siderable poa0-ioow here to-day. John 8. Barbour,
Jr., OF Culpeper, and General Eppa Hunton, OF
Prince William we're elected delegates, and Nat.
Tyler, of Fauquier and John w. Minor, Of Lou
doun slternates, TO represent this district in the
Cincinnati Convention.
The "lesser luminary" was present "in full
foliage" He made himself quite visible, and was
very eloquent in eulogizing the present admins
tration, and endeavored TO obtain expression OF
preference for Pierce for President. But it was
no CO. The resolution was voted down. At night
there were sandry speeches made to mixed gath
ering, the "lesser luminary" being one of the per-
formers. He entertained his audience with learn
ed chronological discussion, the object of which
seemed to be to prove that there had always been
difference between white men and negroes.
Upon the WHOLE the Convention was quite re-
specially conducted affair. 1t was very evident,
however, that Yoao,g2 America " ruled the roast,
and that Old Fogyism was at decided discount.

HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA,
February 26, 1855.
But have little to complain Of In the present,
except the folly Of the politicians, who can't be
satisfied to let well enough alone !" for misera-
BILE, corrupt and personal purpose, the work of
the great Clay must be undone, and the country
thrown into furor over the repeal Of the Missouri
Compromise How II ia to end God knows, but
have abiding faith in the good sense, as well
the patriotism OF the people, and look TO see the
sgitators overwhelmed with an amount of public
odium, from which all recovery will be hopeless
The fact that you are an American" in politics,
does not surprise me as much as you suppose; /
have all along insisted that considerate and con-
servative foregn-born citizens, have as much in
terest in establishing the doctrine that "Americans
only shall rule America" as the natives You have
as much to dread from the wild notions imported
by the new tide OF immigrants as we have and
have observed, that whenever / have found an
Irishman who was not Roman Catholic, the
chances were even that he voted the American
ticket With the Germans il is different they
come in bands, they preserve their own language
and customs, never get, by any accident, sensi-
BILE idea in their heads, and live on to the end of
the chapter, as unfit for self government as the
wild horses of our western prairies.
