Ben" The naturalized citizens of New York seem
TO be considerably stirred up by Gen. Cass' declara-
ton that this government has no power to protect
them, should they return to their native land and
be there pressed into service. They may we'll feel
indignant at the PRONUNCIATION of a doctrine which
throws them out of the pale of protection, as
American citizens, whenever they leave the land of
their adoption whether on business or pleasure
But they ought not to be surprised. The democratic
party wants the foreigners to fight for it at the polls
and fatters and caoles them for that purpose but
the love of that party for the foreigners so often
and so loudly proiessed is badly disguised hypocrcy
it loves their votes but nothing more, and when
the question is fairly brought before the democratic
Secretary Of Stntc, he cody denies to the
naturalized citizen the protection accorded to the
native. The Constitution and the laws make no
such distinction, and the honor and dignity of the
government repudiate it. The oath of allegiance is
the bond between the government and the natura-
lied citzenbndng the former to protect the latter
as though he were native and the latter to uphold
the Constitution and the laws, rcnouncng all al
leganCe TO the government under which he was
born. This compact removes all the disabilities at
tched to foreign birth; if it does not the adopted
citizen renounces his allegiance to his native land
without consideration, and the government pro-
misses what it can not will not perform. We
ask the adopted citizens to look into this matter
and learn how hollow are the professions of regard
for foreigners so constantly upon the lips of leading
democrats. Here is CasS letter:

CL A r X > V LILLE.
Friday, June "a, 1859.

BGS- We have, more than once taken occasion
to warn readers that the action of the democratic
party, on the currency question, does not look TO
hard money as the policy of the State, but to the
winding up of all the other banks and the enlarge
ment of the capital, and the multiplication of the
branches of the State Bank. 1t will be remember
ed that the last Legislature tried to increase its
capital and its branches thai it exempted the State
Bank from the restrictions imposed upon the other
banks, in the shape of periodical reports and allow
ed alone to issue shinpasters 1t will be remem-
bered too, that the President of the Bank took
ground publicly in favor of winding up the other
banks and increasing the capacity of the State Bank
to furnish circulation equal to the wants of the
people. These things point to some fixed and de-
finite object and that object we have Indicated
Gov. Harris tells you that he is opposed to the re-
charter of any of the existing banks, and says he
is opposed to the charter of any new ones unless
the power is reserved to the Legislature to repeal
the charters at any time. This, too, has hidden
meaning. The democratic leaders will tell you now
that the State Bank is in this precise condition
that the Legislature can wind it up at will. Is
anything easier then, for ocofoco Legislature ia
do, than to increase the capital, and branches of the
State Bank and swear it is in exact accordance with
their PLATFORM and their speeches throughout the
canvass2 The leaders are not foolish enough to
believe that metallic currency will meet the
wants of trade, and advance the prosperity of the
State; but to retain power they are willing tC
cheat the hards into the belief that such is theil
purposes and that end gained the secret policy will
be carried into effect, and monster bank be built
up to control the politics of the State by bribing
and cofruptng all of its opponents that can be
bought This has been their policy for two or three
years, and knowing that they could not compass il
openly, they have divided into hards and softs-tht
latter cheating the former by doube-dealing, and
hoping, by means of the fraud to carry the Stat,
aud make their hard money dupes the means Of
building up mammoth bank and monstrous poll.

Bay The candidates for the Senate, together with
those for the lower House, are now canvassing the
county, and we are pleased to learn that Mr.. Horn
is making very effective speeches and proving an
overmatch for his opponent Mr.. Horn commenced
life as a wood-ehopper and by the force of his
native good sense wone the confidence and respect
of his neighbors, who elected him magistrate in
this county. He afterwards moved into Stewart,
was there elected Magistrate, and in that strong
democratic county, is now Chairman of the County
Court. We mention these facts to show the native
energy and force that have enabled Mr. Horn to
surmount the obstacles which, in early life, opposed
his progress and that to whatever consideration he
is entitled at the hands of his fellowcizens he is
indebted to none of the accidents of bith and for
tune. Though not ashamed of his humble begin
ming, Mr. Horn is too much of man, and too little
of demagogue to plead it-like Andy Johnson
as a merit, before the people, and endeavor to gain
through false prejudice and mistaken sympathy the
support of the District. As a speaker, he is mex
perienced yet his practical intellect suggests what
he should say, and how to say it, so as to bring out
the strongest points and make them not only intel
eSioie W MS "uuiehce, Dut W impress theni upon
the popular mind.
His opponent Mr.. Yancy, is a fluent speaker, and
well posted in all the arts universally practiced
by his party to "pull wool" over the eyes of the
sovreigns In good cause, he would make an
effective speaker, and good Representative but
being in bad one think the people will not
trust him. In private life, Mr.. Yancy is clever
gentleman, and such an agreeable companion that we
can not spare him from the social circle and we
earnestly entreat the people to let him stay where
he is He is making good progress as a farmer, and
is becoming familiar with tire only bank he ought
ever to have anything to do with-the manure
bank.

How they Humbug.

The Union and american, of Oct, %, 1857, made
the following remarks 10 which we invite particu-
lar attention.:
'lIe [TIon. EN- ErHRrDaE, is right in supposing,
however, that such institution, in the control Of
the State is ever liable to abuse and subject to be
made political machine. The Democracy of Tenn
essee conscious of this fact have been for years in
favor of winding II up. We feel authorized to say
that large majority Of the Democratic members of
the ensuing Legislature will favor that policy, and
that il this great public nuisance is not abated, the
fault will be with the Opposition members and not
with tic Democrats. Let us see which party viii
take the responsibility of continuing institution
so liable TO corruption and abuse"
So It seems the democracy of Tennessee had been,
for years in favor Of winding up the State Bank,
because it is "great public nuisance" and Sub
ject to be made political machine and we were
assured that If this nuisance were not abated, by
the succeeding Legislature, the fault would "be
with the Opposition members, and not with the
democrats" Well the Legislature met, with large
democratic majority, and what was done with the
nuisance2 The democratic members, instead of
abating it, as the Union and american pledged them
to do, actually went to work to increase the nuis-
uutt anu but ioi NiiC OppOsi1Oh "ohpNie "OuiN
have strengthened that "poltical machine" by the
addition of million and half to its capital. So
much for democratic profession and democratic
practice.
But the movement did not stop with the attempt
to increase the capital of the Bank of Tennessee
ground openly taken by its President for its
charter, and by the suppression of all the other
Banks to make it The Bank-the only bank under
the control of politicians and Subject as the I'm
ion and american expresses it, ITO be made great
political machine" The Opposition members de-
feated this nefarious scheme and entitled themselves
to the thanks Of the people of Tennessee whom this
monster was designed to ensaye politically through
the influence of its great money power. And among
the patriotic, bank-hating democrats who sustained
"this great public nuisance"-the State Bank-anC
voted for an increase of its capital, we find thu
name of DIR. Menees, who is asking the people t
reward his services by sending him to Congress-
1t is true the doctor says he voted for it relic
measure The proposition was to raise million
and half for the increase of the capital of tn
State Bank, and to raise it by selling the bonds O
the State for that purpose A strange relief that
