a New and Alarming Doctrine.

There is Judge in Washington by the name OF
Crawford, who has enunciated a and startling
doctrine the subject of the rights of native and
adopted citizens. He maintains that there is any
difference between these two clFsses of citizens,
it l. in favor of the naturaized class. Here is his
language:
"a naturalized citizen has a right to his vote as
much, said Judge Crawford, Gas you or I, or any
other native, and that light be fully resp Ct
ed. Is il not preposterous continued the Judge,
'tO refuse citizen his right of suffrage because
was born in England, or II, land or G rmany. If
there be any diference-as in fact there is not, and
ought not to be in nor in law-tbe difference
as IN their faUOr, for they hare made THIS country
heir oUn, by adoption by Uol,Htdry choice; totiSt
ace had no choice, Jor mere born here"
Commenting upon this the Lyuchcurg Virginian
has the following:
Here have most sublime doctrne The
difference, if any, is IN faUor of tie foreigner
for be came here from choice, while we are here
because We couldn't help it
"ihe difference being in favor of the foreigner,
we would suggest that Constitutions, State and
Federal, be SO amended to permit none but for
eigners to hold office. If the difference is IN their
favor, there can be objection, of course to max
ing this difference applicable to Offices, as well as
sutfrags.
'How many of these foreigners. before coming
here, supposed that they had greater rights here
than the native born? How many OF them ever
supposed that they would be entitled the right O
suffrage at all? Not one, venture to say, in
thousand" -Richmond Wing.

Interesting 10 Naviga1ors.

The brig James Gray left her dock at Charles
ton on the 1st Feb, 1856, bound To Antwerp,
and anchored in the stream of Cooper river or
harbor of Charleston, as near the opposite
shore as she could safely 60. In that position
she remained until the evening of the 9TH,
when she VAS run afoul of by the ship John
Fraser which had been towed into the stream
by the steamer Gen. Chuch, and then let 60.
The owners of the James Gray sued the
owners of the ship and steamer for the dam
age occasined by the collision. The case was
first tried in the United States District Court
of South Carolina, and then was taken by APP
peal before the United States Circuit Court,
Judge Wayne, of Georgia, presiding. The
District Court had exempted the owners of
the steamer from liability, bat had assessed
part of the damage upon The owners of the inc.
Fraser, leaving the remainder To be borne by
the brig. Judge Wayne affirmed the decision
50 far as it related TO the steamer, but reversed
so much of IL as assessed damages upon the
John Fraser. This reversal was based upon
the fact that the brig, (the James Gray,) when
run foul Of, was violating "A city ordinance of
/ Charleston, which declares that "no vessel
shall be permitted TO remain in the, stream, op-
posite the city, whether inward or outward
bound, for a longer period than "a hours;'
whereas the james Gray had been lying there.
according 10 the admission OF the parties lu-
terested, more than threa days. Moreover il
was proved that her Captain (Plummer twas
warned, while lying there, that his vessel was
in an interdicted spot. There was also a ques-
ton whether light, or a sufficient light, had
| been exposed on board tue bFig.-Baittn0Fs

is now making free States, and extending
the freesoil power and influence, as rapidly
as Fremont could have done, had he been
successful. Who is there now who ever
dreams, or who has dreampt since the
President has inaugurated his territorial
policy, that Kansas, or Nebraska, or Min
nesota, or Oregon, all or either, will be-
come Slaveholding States? Who is there,
who believes that Mr.. Buchanan could
again carry the South as a unit, since he
has shown his opinions and preferences on
the question of Slavery. Approved and
upheld as he is by an undivided North,
who of his present supporters among the
Northern Democracy, could hope to again
unite the South, in Presidential contest?
And who at the South could carry the De-
mocracy of the North? The course of
events are rapidly unfolding these facts;
and in a very few years they will be strip
ped of all disguise. Unrelieved sectional
kiSm is the inevitable tendency of Demo-
cratic rule. Pierce's administration gave
birth to the Fremont party-Buchanan's
will most likely consummate the wicked
ness by completely sectionali!ing both sec
tions. 1t belongs to the American party
to arrest, if it be possible, these tenden-
cies; and to bring back, and unite upon a
common platform, the conservative, patri-
otic, union-loving men of the North and
the South-to uproot and crush ont fanat-
icism in both sections and revive something
of the fraternity and harmony, which De-
mocratic rule has been too ready to Danish
from the country. If by our continued
frmness and decision, we shall be able to
accomplish a result so desirable, we will
not have striVen in vain; but will have
achieved enough to compensate for all the
modification and gloom of present defeats.

IMPORTANT To RAILROAD TRAvELLERs.--A
Court ia Ohio has decided that the loss OF
railroad ticket falls apon the purchaser. Il
held that the ticket being negotiable by deliy
cry, any one picking up the lost ticket could
ride upon il. The ticket agent having sold
ticket To the plaintiff, the latter was obliged,
If be rode, TO give IL 10 the conductor. Il
was held further by the coart that passengers,
by he purchase and delivery Of tickets 10 the
conductor, did not become lessees Of the cars;
that they were still in the possession and an
der the control Of the company; that, IL the
company ordered passenger VINO had thus
paid his fare TO leave the cars and be refused,
lie might be elected without rendering the
company liable 20 an action for assault aud
batieTyi thai they would, however, insnch eass
be liable Tor q breach OF their daty Is common
carriers, and might be made 10 pay such dam
ages as resulted from that breach Of daiys
either for detention or any other loss.

A HAIRY CoUErRY.-Sweeden must be one Of
the happiest countries in theword according to he
description of the Rev. 4. Z. Hughes, who says
that is "a country where, from the eumsiness OF
the constitution, aud the good sense OF the inEabi
tants, the power OF the sovereign aud the liberty
OF the subject are almost equally unlimited: eouu-
Try where liberation Of rel gOn aud religious iutol-
erance are alike unknown. Tue religion of The
State Is accepted by the people, or the religion OF
the people is accepted by the STATE, / kno~ not
which. Anything for quiet life, should be tbs
legend of eden; disseut is permitted chic d y
because there are 10 dsseuters 10 permit; political
discussion Is free as air, consequently pohucs are
rarely discussed. The King does not interfere with
the people, the people do not interfere with the
King; the Estates are lntcrleHed with by neither.
and Tor their part they never succeed ia coming
10 any resolution, except 70 Interfere with nothing
and nobody aud so they jog On very comfortably. }"
This Is coming about near 10 Utopia as any
thing that can be found beneath the clouds. Yet
Sseden has produced great heroes, Who have done
full part 10 laying the dust of the world.

Letter from General walker

Letter from AEGneEaA ~ alk6Fs
To THE EDITORS :-Gentiemen 81 have just seen
letter addressed to yon 0y Gen. Wool, from Troy,
N. on the 10th of this month.
Respect for the Generals position requires me
to notice some of the statements of his letter,
though pityfor old pub ic servant, whose men,
DRY age and disease have impaired, might urge
to pass it unnoticed.
must, however, do Gen. Wool the justice to say,
that am very unwilling TO impute TO him the au-
thorship OF a letter characterized by much want
OF fairness and frankntss. A politician, and not
soldier, must have indited sentences which, while
apparently accurate, are really suggestive of uu-
truth.
1 beg leave to say to you that one afternoon,
as General Wool was leaving San Francisco for
Benicia-when be was on the WHAT, and about
going aboard the steamer-I distinctly stated to
nm the nature Of ny grant from Castilon, and
he as distinctly wished me all success in my en-
terprise.
AS for what ths General says about ''fllibus-
terlng schemes" and the formation of can in
dependent slave cOnfederacy," | blush that such
phrases have been published over the signature
OF Asjor General IN the army of the United
States.
