Protection to Adopted Citizens.

The views Of the Administration are con
tained in the following letter to Mr.. L.
Clerc, of Memphis, Tennessee, French
man by birth, but now a naturalizsd citi
zen of the United States:
"DEPAETMENT OF STATE, WASHING
TON, May Il, lS59.-Your letter of the
| 18th instant has been received. In reply
| have to state that it Ii understood that
/ the French country claims military ser
vice from all natives of France who may
be found within It's jurisdiction. Your
naturalization IN hts country rW not eI'-
ompt you from that c(Gim, sboUH V0u rni-
nntariiy repair hither. LEWIS CAss."
The Democratic party always pretend
ed to be the peculiar friend of the for
eigner, but this last act Of Cass gives
them the cold shoulder, aud removes the
protection Of our government from them
should they visit the land Of their birth
either on business or pleasure.
This is a step backward in the indepen-
deuce aud sovereignty of the United States
See Marcy claimed Martin kosz,a as an

Commencing at Grand Haven--we have
three churches in our village; Presby-
terian, Congregational, and church
composed of our Holland citizens.
The first Church in this county was
established in the month of November,
1884, (if my memory serves me as TO
dates), by the Rev. VIM. M. Ferry, who,
with his family, at an early period migrat-
ed hither from Mackinae, where for ser
ries of years he had labored as a mission
ary. A number of families accompanied
him to his then Wilderness home, consist
ing of kindred and others. As soon as

families, using at first as the place OF
worship q room in the mansion of that
Rev, gentleman, set apart for that pur-
pose until a small public building was
erected, which served the double purpose
of a school room and a place of worship
for nearly score of years; and though
extremely meagre in its dimensions, yet,
so little indeed were our citizens imbued
with a go-to-meeting spirit, that, from its
erection up TO nearly the present time, il

the two years past, increased but slowly

pointed the way to paradise, and urged
them thither. All the good advice
friendly counsel, and urgent solicitude fol
the spiritual welfare of his little flock
were a free-will offering on the part o
their pastor, without money and without
price; and not once during the period o
those twenty long years was any compen

The Falling Star.
BY sALLIE NJ. bryan.


Just then, upon its wings Of fire,
A star went flying by,
And vanished DER the waves of cloud,
A sea-bird of the sky
Tonight there ring across my heart
Old half forgotten chimes,
Whose mournful music memory caught
Among its nursery-rhymes.
In those sweet years I've heard them say
No wish could be denied;
Ifitwere formed while flashed thrO' Heaven
A fading moteor's pride.
All, then l only wished to catch
The blue-birds on the hill,
Or, with bare feet to wander down
Some shady woodland rill.
For (oh, how long ago it seems)
then was but a child,
Whose check was bright, whose golden hair
Upon the winds few wild;
Whose tiny hand drove humming-birds
From every roses breast,
Whose sunny brown and lisping lip
A mothers kisses pressed.
Yes, then only wished to catch
The blue birds on the hill,
Or, with bare feet, to wander-down
Some shady woodland rill.
But since the years have passed and left
Their paleness on my brow,
Their twilight-shadows in my heart
What are my wishes now2
When next fire shall flash along
The nights eternal blue,
What can I ask ere it shall fade
Forever from my view2
Oh, it would be to look on thee
Once more-although in vain
But mourning angels whisper Tow;
awake not that dream again"
And thou-tho brightest and the last
Oh how this heart Of mine
Forgot the pact and pride before
Those dark-blue eyes ofthine.
Yet shall wish that in thy heart
A thought ofme may dwell2
No-no-'twill be for power to say
OF thee-thee too-farewell.

WHOM To MARRY--When a young wo-
man behaves TO her parents in manner
particularly tender and respectful, from
principle as well rs nature, there is
nothing good and gentle, that may not
be expected from her in whatever condi-
ton she may be placed. Were TO ad-
wise a friend as 10 the choice of wife,
my first counsel would be "look out for
one distinguished for her attention and
sweetness 10 her parents" The fund Of
worth and affection Indicated by such be-
havior, joined by the habits of duty and
consideration, thereby contracted, being
transferred 20 the married state, will not
fail TO render her mild and obliging
companion. Star

A WORD TO PARENTS WHO HAVE CnuL-
DREN AT ScHooL.-If parents do not feel
sufficient interest in the education and
training of their children---in their moral
and physical, as well as in their intellect
ual culture--to visit the schools, see the
progress Of the pupils, encourage the
teachers in their arduous and difficult Ia
bors, and thus assist both teacher and pu
pil, how can they reasonably expect tho
scholar or teacher TO feel or manifest a de-
sire for progress and improvement, so sad
ly neglected by those who should feel and
exhibit the liveliest interest in the culture
of their ofspring9 The teacher we know
has many duties devolying upon him, and
because he discharges them faithfully, the
parent is not excused from his duty. Pa
rents, if you have not visited your school
recently, do so Immediately, and you will,
we are sure, find the hour well and pleas
antly spent.

BILLS RELATING TO NEwsPApERs.--
The publication Of the proceedings of
the board Of supervisors has been sub
ject of discussion in some portions of the
State. In some cases they have been
given to one paper only, and sometimes
to two of the same political views, but
very rarely to two Of different politics.
This, it is claimed, has been unjust to n
large portion of the inhabitants, rs it is
liable 10 exclude all, or nearly all, Of lhess
inhabitants who may happen TO be in tho
minority, from knowledge of the action
of the county board.
Notice was given to-day of the intro
duction of bill designed to remedy this.
1t will provide for the publication Of the
proceedings of the board in two papers of
the county, of different political views,
where such papers arc published. There
arc difficulties in the way of such bill,
however, that will ehoctualy prevent il
from becoming a law.
Notice has also been given of the in
PRODUCTION of bill authorizing the clerk
of each county TO preserve n file Of all
the papers published in the county, and
also authorizing each township clerk to
preserve file of at least one paper.

CosT OF DIFFERENT KINDS OF LIGuT.
Mr.. John Fallon, the chemist of the
Pacific Mills, Lawrence, has made some
careful experiments rs TO the relative
cost of different kinds of light, and finds
that ordinary coal-gas at SO, 500 per thou
sand feet, is the cheapest, Kerosene oil,
to be equally cheap, would have to be
furnished at ssS4 per cent. of its present
price; sperm oil would have to be furll-
ished at 76 per cent. of its present price;
burning fluid at SO per cent, and lard oil
ut SO per cent.

SOUTHERN SENTIMENT OK THE AFRI-
CAN SLAVE TRADE.-That large ma
jority of the people of the Southern
States are bitterly opposed to the Afri-
can slave trade, we have felt fully con.
yinced ever since the opening of the pres
ent discussion on that subject; but we
must ackI owledge that we have had no
idea Of the almost complete unanimity OF
hostility which cbaracterizes southern sen
timent on the question. Nearly every
newspaper in the South is n strenuous op-
ponent of the trade; and several Lcgisla-
lures in that section have virtually Ecjcct-
cd, by large majorities, resolutions in its
favor. And not only politicians, but the
churches, have declared against it. Alta
recent meeting Of the Rocky Creek
(South Carolina) Baptist Church, the fol-
lowing resolutions were passed and order
ed 10 be published:
Whereas, We have been crcdibly in
formed that n largo body Of native Aili-
cans arc within our midst, and nm effort is
being made to spread them broadcast over
the country;
Resolped, That we do not oppose the
existence of slavery as we have il among
us, but are willing to defend it with the
means that God has given us.
ResolOcd, That we have heard with
deep regret that n number Of these ma
tive Africans are in the midst of us.
ResolUed, That to bring unframed
negroes from Africa, and land them
upon any portion Of the soil of South
Carolina, for the purpose of max
ing slaves of them, meets our unqualified
disapprobation, and we will oppose itwith
all the legal means within our power"
There is no moro danger of the Afri-
can slave trade being re-established than
there is Of the moon flying from its orbit
and coming in collision with the earth.-
All sections of the country. are opposed
20 its re-ostablishmcnt-thc South as
much 50 rs the North. Free Press, Dct.

Suppression of the Slave Trade,


The charge so freely brought by the Re-
publioans several months ago, that the Dem
ocaatio party was in favor Of re.opening the
slave trade, seems 10 have been abandoned
by them as proftless. It bid fair, Gays the
Lancaster lntelligencer, at one time to be a
standing accusation, and even the State
Convention, including the Americans, who
now exhibit signs Of nervousness whenever
they are classed with the Republicans, SOL
emnly warned the country that the South
was determined to open the slave trade,
and that the Administration was helping
them to do 80. For time the slave trade
was held up by every Republican paper in
the country to frighteu timid souls But
the cheat was too transparent to hold out
Stubborn iacs proved more than match
for the sensation manufacturers The
South, as we'll as the North, protested against
the revival Of the traffic in native Africans.
The Administration, instead Of lending it
the least encouragement, ~ was falsely
charged by the Republicans, took the most
active measures to intercept slaycrs, both on
the coast Of Africa and upon the American
coast Our squadrons were strengthened to
such degree, under the directions Of this
Administration, that we had more vessels
engaged in preventing the slave trade than
at any time since the organization Of the
government. This action has proven cttect>
ual in q two fold degree-6rst, in prevent
ing the slave trade, and second, in extin-
gushing the party clamor and the small
accumulation Of party capital derived from
the effort of few spectators to dabble in
this odious business. The U. ). officers on
the coast of Africa have captured four slay,
ora in few months, during which the
British cruisers, more numerous by hal!
than ours, only took one, This fact speaks
well for the awakened energy of our squad
ron, and shows that the officers have been
stimulated to active exertions by instruct
ions from home.
We advise those who have been persuaded
that the Democratic party and the Admin
istration were plotting to revive the slave
trade and make it part of the Democratic
platform, to compare this result with the
resolution of the Opposition State Commit-
tee, and with tile accusations of Opposition
speakers and news papers Perhaps the in
vestigation may lead them to the conclusion
that they have been duped and while their
indignation was excited against the slave
power, and its supposed instruments, for re-
opening the slave trade, that the Admins
tration placed in power by the Democratic
party has been the most active instrument
in suppressing this traffic.

The Crisis.

The sober-minded men of the North,

Bile tranquility to an otherwise most happy

summon sufficient courage to do so, and
thus enable the present generation to hand
to its successor unimpaired the legacy be-
queathed to us? We should be the most
worthless, as well as the most vile generation
of which history gives an account if we
were to permit our system Of self'governs
ment to fail in our own keeping, after it
had been so successful in the keeping of
