under Heaven so hard to niauae as a wil

Squire tries to make a 1'u.saiid prevent you
from coming together, persuade the girl to

'Not within half a mile ' said bis cuests

' And would you believe that last iiipbt

4 What's that!'
' Not another partridge ?'
'No! J5ut thoo persons walking; together?'
1 U ho are they? Why, my son and
Squire Goldiug'a daughter, said Squire Ed
wards.' ' Strange!' said Uncle Tim, trembling so
much with agitation, that the guests beoan
to think that the gout was making another
vi-it.'
4 Why is it strange ?' remarked Squire
ijoldmg. ' They arc to be married next
week, and I sec nothing improper in their
walking together.'
Uneie 'J im smelt the rat,, but he prudent
ly said nothing. Yet for the reft o! the af
ternoon he was remarkably taciturn, so
that the guests begun to find tlnir si-it as
stupid as it was befoie iuterei-ting, am! boon
took their leave.
Still Uncle Tim, smoked, his pipe in si
lence until evening, when a rattling of
wheels in the court yard, announced the re
turn of the chi-e. In a minute, Frank re
turned with JJtl leaning upon his arm.
'Ah, you young raneals I' said Uncle Tim.'
4 You're not angry with us, are you, uu
cle j' said Jkl.'
'Angry? To be sure not. I've been
wondering why 1 never thought of tying you
together before. My only object in want
ing each of you to marry, was that you
might have au establishment of some two
thousand pounds, and here I've been beat
ing about the bush wbcu the tiue way was
directly before me.'
4 And you won't forget the promised pack
of bounds? Frank suggested.'

the doctrine tnat. n S'ate has t'je power to

li the .Mates have such a pone, why give

We lay it down as a fundamental pr'c-
pie that naturalization confers cit'iiship ;
for whatever definition of a ct'"n wc n,."y
assume, it is certain, au a!i" ' ,K,t a c'ti-
ren, and alienage can ot' be removed by
naturalization.
Again, suffrage is a privikgo enjoyed by
citizens only : otherwi-e we would have ia
our i idst a deeraded class of voters cxer-
ci-mg tlie clei tive traiiciiise in a g"v' "
under wbieh they eouid not claim the priv-
lieges auu lminuiiUirft gviarantu'd to eiuzeu-
sbip by the Constitution of the Uniud States
as expounded j our own court.-; such as
" the rights of protection of life am' liberty,
and to acquire and t njoy properly and to
p-iv no higher impositions than other citi-
zvi'is, and to pass through and resile in the
Mace at pleasure." This is an anomalous
position, never contemplated by the frauurs
of our Cou-titution. It involves and ab-
surditv to say that a man has q right to vote
in a government w hese protection he lias no
right to claim, and in which htj has no right
to present a petition. Then we must admit
that suffrage is a privilege of fitizMiship.
Consequently, until an alien bfrcoii.es a cit-
izen bv compliance with the Ibws of Natu-
ralization as established by Congress, he
can not constitutionally cxerci-fc tue elective
franchise.
To separate citizenship anil the right to
vote and give to a State the right to incor-
pirate those who are not citizens am jng its
voters wouid he ruinous in its consequences.
It would jti v.: to some States an in iue pre
poinlerai.ee iu the lienera! Governima:, and
even place the election of our 1',. , .ei.t in
the power of a'iiein, men ahoeou'd not pre
sent u memorial to the (lo. emim t.t they
h id n.a-le. For instance, New Y rt: gives

In treating a subj. et wbieh ban been so
generally anu elaborately uiscu-seu as that
ot the American Urder, it wouid he oit-
fieult to present any thing original in the
way of argument ; hence, my aim will
he, to offer my deductions Htid conclusions
from the iacts and arguments of others and
to glance at the caused which have given
rise to the present excitement. The move-
meut I regard as one growing out of a great
crisis in tlie nfl'aiis of our nation, and the
precursor of a sound, healthful and vigo
rous nationality, which wili be commensu
rate to solve and curry out the great prin-
cipies oi uie iree government, and t pre-
vent the liberties of the country from being
destroyed by the machinations or oeitm-
gogues and faetionists, whilst they continue
to chant the Syren song of "no tlstiger,"at
the same time they cry out bo ' beware of
the danger of secret societies !' Il is true
that secret societies have always been dati-
getous to despots and tyrant. They have
even denounced aud proscribed Masonry,
The Pope, with their potentates, have
crushed the ancient order in their domiii-
ions. In our own country we have seen
portals leading iuto its saered temple for a
while closed and deserted. Secret societies
were then denounced. That cloud of fa nut -
icism which for a while overshadowed it,
has been di-pelled by the light of reason,
aud it still continues to extend the I h s.
sings of its principles to thousands of tlis-
eun-oiate widows and orphans. The oppo-
nents of t he Amei ie a it Order exclaim. " it
i- a political asseslatiou, and therefore
ought not to be secret!"
I reply, yes, it is secret, and its naiuc de
note its objects. Is it tho first secret poli
tical soei t y w hich has been organized in
tlie t. nitei
d States ? It is as well
any i.'.lier historical truth, thatticu. Wn-h-iiigtou
and many of his compati iots of tho
revoltuieu were tiicmbcrs of the CiiiC-iiiu:'.ti
Society, in which, if I am n.'t under mi-ap-j
reheiisiosi no man is eligible to uieiiib'cr

volution passed oil' the stage of life. Was not
this a secret society ? Was it not purely po

lien. Jackson was a member of this soci
ety, and I know prominent statesmen
throughout the natisn who are members of
it, and as I my-e!t am one. and umHrstaml
its principles, I can assert that they are pa-

the Auti-
Americans to these facts?
Can any sane man believe that Gen.
Wii-hiugtoii or lien. Jackson would have
united with an. ; .soeinti on or order not
purely American? Would either have en
tered into any political league, when secre
cy "a enjoined, if he had not approved of
the principle of secrecy in political associa
tions ? From my knowledge of the charac-
ter of W
hitigton, thfi sacrifices, lie male
for his country, united with Ins fervid pa
triotism and preference for every tiling Ame
rican, I cannot doubt for oue moment, if he
were, now living, he would, c!e erl'iiily sanc

From hi y personal anil familiar knowledge
of the principles of Gen. Jackson, 1 am
confident that, were he living, t- counter
act the policy of European pof-.-ut-ites and

No candid man can suppose the contrary.
It was regarded by modern:-; men at
the North good Democrats, who always
stood bv thg South as a breach of .good
. faith, and they either opposed the Admin-
iV. ration. ir woul 1 not give it tht ir sup
port. This mea-ure caused audible expres
sions of disapprobation by many who aided
in eb e'.iog the Fr-i lent ; but there were
other cruises, and all united, gave n-g to
tlie American Order. The seli.-eti-.it c-f the
I're-ideiit's Cabinet, although it was highly
exceptionable to the Democratic party, thi-y
made an effort to swallow it. Geneial dis
content was growing up in the coun.ry. i his.
feeling was aggravated by a report that an
i agrceiiient was ma le between a Catholic
: Jii.-hop and Lieu. Pierce, conditioned that
Gen. Pierce was to lceiivc tite Catholic
vote, and in the event of his election, a sit

a member of the Caiho'ic dcuoiiiiiiatiou.
Nor was this all. Foreigne rs were selected
to hi! impoi tarn missions to foreign g-nt.ru-'
