FRIEND GREEN-Dear Sir: AS my time
for which have paid, has about expired,
for your valuable paper, herewith forward
to you the needful for another years sub
scription. We have but little said in this
county about politics Col. Ewing and Maj
Harris, both made speeches here to-day, and
made good impression on the minds of the
good people. Mr.. Green spoke here on the
30th of June, but to no effect. He made no
votes by speaking here. His speaking in
the Grand River country has been of no
benefit to him. | understand that he lost
many votes by his speech in Grundy coun-
ty, and made nothing in Mercer and Put
nam. Hon. J. ]. Lindley will be elected
again beyond the possibility OF doubt. The
champion of Democracy d. e. Green) while
here was trying to raise the wind by i'm.
bibing the best quality of brandy.
Yours, SC.

To The Editor of the Times--SrR In look
ing over some political documents, few
days ago, happened upona espOndence,
betwixt Mr.. Lewis Robinson, candidate for
the State Senate In this District, and Col.
John Hinton, Of Rocheport. 1 learned
from that correspondence, that the aforesaid
Mr.. Robinson, when candidate for the
Legislature, in Boone county, pledged him.
self to Col. Hinton and Milton Sexton (for-
merly of your town) and TO other gentle
men, that as between "Benton and ,rhig,
he rouid roe for Benton all the time;" that
in this way, he deceived the Benton men Of
Boone county, into his support; that after
the election, he violated his solemn promise,
and then 10 make the matter worse, denied
that he ever made any such promise! Now,
sir, this is one objection | have to Mr.. Rob
inson-he is too uncertain man, to repre-
sent Boone and Howard counties in the
Senate. No man can rely upon promise,
which he may make in regard to political
matters. There is not Benton Democrat
in the District, who will touch him with
forty foot pole.
A few months ago, Mr.. Robinson, was a
member of the American party, and most
voclferous advocate of the doctrines o. this
party-now all his speeches, are taken up,
in abusing the American party, and in mis-
representing their opinions and principles.
Now, sir, ask, what confidence can you
or any of your readers, have in such a
changing? He'll fly the track every hour
of the day, and have no use for such a
horse. l my neighborhood, a large MAORI
ty of us, intend to vote for Henry. John
may be at times, little fiery, but then he
is true man. What he says, he'll do
Well informed men, tell me that he will be
elected, by some four or five hundred ma
jority, and of this majority, Howard county
ought to give at least one hundred. Let us
see 10 it, that it is done. That there may
be no mistake, us to the proof of Robinson s.
preuarcatiOn, send you the CORES spOndenoe,

Speaking in Cambridge.

G. II. GREEN, EsQ.-Dedr Sir:-you are
aware that Cambridge was yesterday honor
ed by two of the gentlemen who have con-
sented, il the people of this District see fit,
to represent them IN Congress-Col. S. H
| Woodson, candidate for the next Congress,
and Maj. G. F. Jackson, formerly Of How
ard, now of Saline, who proposes to finish
the unexpired term of the lamented Miller.
A spouting match was the consequence
Col. Woodson unfurled the banner of Amer
icanism, sometims known as KnolO Nofhing-
ism, and in speech of SOM two and halt
or three hours, did battle for the cause Of
Native Americanism, with what effect,
presume not to say, farther than that those
who were wavering in their allegiance 10
that party, were confirmed in their faith,a
apparently became more Jealous than ever
Several who had stood aloOf, or in the oppo,
sition, avowed their determination to vote
for Woodson for Congress, and for Fillmore
for the Presidency: An experienced Dem
ocrat, and who by the way is fully compe-
tent to Judge, declared that Woodson's
speech was an able one, and such an argu-
ment as could not well be overthrown. My
own opinion is, that he not only made his
case, but made 1t very strong one. Maj.
Jackson combatted, and with such ability as
he possesses, the American doctrine, ir. a
speech OF about the same length, in which
he relied for the most part, upon the author
ity of II. Clay and the immortal Harrison,
as he called him, TO show the injustice, bad
policy, and pernicious effects of the Ameri-
can move. have heard a Democrat pro-
nounce it a successful effort, while two or
three gentlemen Of the same stripe, ac-
knowledged it to be failure. The Ameri-
cans pronounce il TO have been an abortion.
The concluding speech was from William
Breckenridge Brown of this ilk, in which
he not only reminded Maj, Jackson of his
former abuse of Clay and Harrison, but 9TH
erwise made some hard hits at foreigners,
Catholic priests, &c. The latter speech was
in the real King Cambyses vein, and the de.
fective in the delivery showed thought and
reflection on the part of the speaker, and
that better practice on the stump might
yet make its author very disagreeable an
tagonist on the musings Billy spoke his
sentiments pretty fully, and manifested q
most decided disposition 10 call things by
their right names. think most opponents
whether political or otherwise, had better

Jefferson on Americanism cad Demo.
crat6

In 1877 (see vol. 8 JefTarson's Works,
page 453) Mr.. Jefferson himself drew up
a petition TO the Legislature of Virginia,
which was signed by the citizens of his own
and adjoining counties, suggesting provis-
ion by law, declaring
THAT the capacity to act in the important
office of juror, grand or petty. civil or Grim
inal should be restrained in future to natiye
citizens OF the United States, or such as
were citizens at the date of the treaty of
peace which closed our Revolutionary war;
and offering as a reason therefor that
THE ignorance of our laws. and the nat
ural partiaIity (of foreigners to the coun-
tries of their birth. are reasonable causes for
declaring this to be one OF the rights incom.
municab!e in future to adopted citizens"
Is not this good Democratic authority?
But we have further, and, we may add,
higher authority than the opinion Of Mr..
Jefferson alone, because it is the uniiel opin
ion of both branches Of the General Assem-.
bly, Of Virginia, and that too Of that same
Assembly which passed ihe Virginia State
rights Democratic resolutions, Of 1882.
On the l6th day of January, 1893, tie
House of Delegates Of Virginia, passed this
resolution, which on the same day was a.
greed to by the Senate, TO- wit:
Resolved, Tha. the constitution ought to
be SO amended that no foreigner who shall
not have acquired rights under the constitu-
tion and laws at the time OF making this a
mendment shall not thereafter be eligible to
the office of Senator or Representative in
the Congress OF the United States, nor to
any office in the Judiciary or Executive De-
partment."

Birch's Speech or Power of Congress to
Legislate on Slavery in Territories.

The following is an extract from the speech
of Judge ]. H. Birch, delivered in Liberty,
on the l6 day of July, l849, in reply to
Hon. Thos. H. Benton:
1--WE therefore class all political agitators
and abettors OF the question-all who either
affirmatiyoly or negatively give countenance
to the assumption that Congress possesses
the slightest jurisdiction over the subject
all such should be known and marked, de-
spite of disclaimers which are in conflict
with their associations and their acts, as
POLITICAL ABOLITIONISTS, regard
less of the compromises ard guarantees Of
the Constitution, aggressors against the
property, the peace, and ultimately the lives
of their brethren-inimical, in short, TO the
Union, as it is. and in the spirit of which it
can alone continue"
And yet Birch, and Clark, and oil the
Antics who preached the above doctrine in
l849, will stulify themselves-eat their
own words-travel backwards crawl in
the slime Of their own degradation to the
polls, and vote for Polk and Sims, and then
for Bnchanan-all "power men"-and the
lotter not only believer in the power, but
a believer in the eTercise of the power.

The Federalism Of James Buchanan, the |
Abolition Nominee Of the Cincinnati
Convention.
We take the following from a circular is
sued by the Federals,s of Lancaster in
1853:
"WE as FEDERALISTS take the lib-
erty ofaddressing you on tie subject Of the
approaching election for Governor. We
wish TO communicate our sentiments to you
in confidence, end we are anxious that you
should call on any Of us when you visit
Lancaster and give us your opinion. We
wish to be united-we desire both to give
and to take counsel.
The candidates have been brought into
your notice; they are competitors for the
highest State Office in the gift of the people.
Neither OF them blong TO our party.
Mr.. ShtIlz is emphatically the legislative
candidate. Those men OF whom the people
sent to Harris burg to make laws, have at

1t remains to be decided whether the free
men of Pennsylvania will yield up their SOW

candidate, thus nominated will be suppor-
ted as we have already seen by an attempt
again to excite all the rancorus feelings
which heretofore existes against Federal
lists. His notorious incapaci'y must In this
manner be kept ont Of the view Of the peo-
