IP'S mlalflly true, that I ant a Whig, and I expect
tiareniam one, but I will inform the editor when and
how 1 -became aVVhig.' It was when I was. living in

roIo German population ought to vote for Martin
jj- because father was a German, npd if he
fected Germans would get all the offices they
ltcd . . I didn't think they were entitled to hold
offices, because, if they were not fit fc fill offices,
mitheir ownountry, they vere still less fit to hold
thni in this, and if they had beln fit for them at home
mvy wvumvu lemaijicu mere, auu uui u nit uuu
to look for them ; and because I loved the country of
my adoption better than a lazy set of office hunters
frm my own country "and because I thought Ameri-
i cans knew more about freedom, to whicn they were
boin, and the Constitution under which they were
e rf
: ... ' , :
about either;, until they got here, and
not much then ; and because I cared
more about my own liberties than I did for their hofcb
mg ofhee. These "were the reasons why I joined the
Vhig party, and voted for the Whig candidate : and
after I joined them, I stuck to them, because I tSought I
inta-csts more than .ic principles of the' other party.
- I thought, after I became an American citizen, that
the government ought to protect my labor, and en
courage my industry, rather than protect the labor
and encourage the industry of those I left behind me
in the old country,- and this the democrats' refused to
!;do, saying let all the-pcople in this country starve for
ftwuat we care ; let us Liuyjcvery thing we want irom
fifn'oadand encourace the British. French, and Ger-
fmim working men on the other side of the water, in
preference to our wn people at home.
- Now as to the "Know Nothings," I don't know
;.exactly what "Know Nothings" means; but if it
means tuat the natives of this country are better en
titled to .rule . the country than foreignerswhether
they be Irish, Germans, English, French, Spaniards or
Mcxicans tlien-1 am a Know Nothingjj in principle,
for I believe so too.
I don't want any office myself, and couldn't get one
if I did, and. wouldn't be fit .for one if I cou Id, and I
think j am about as fit as the rest of my countrymen
th. I am acquainted with ; but I believe the people
ofthis couiitrj' understand enough about their own af
fairs to nfeiiagc for thcinselres ; and I don't see that
because tllcp let me to come here, and live among
them, and' enjoy my liberty, and follow my trade, and
they support me in my business and protect me in my
rights, that that gives me any claim to ask tlnem to get
out of my way, and make room for mc to come in and
have on office oo, ,,; . , - , t --.
If I was" at my nativa home in Germany, and. an
American citizen were to come there, and, set himself
up for an offico, I should not feel that'hc had any
riht to complain of me, and feel unkjndlj towards
ma, liecause I preferred my own countryman to him ;

' April 2, 1855. , , ; :,
Gen. Washington in North Carolina .
From the.Autobiogr'aphy of Dr. Caldwell reentry
published by Messrs. Uppincott aiid Grambo, Phila
delphia, Pa.: I - .
One reminiscence more, connected with Salisbury,
shall dose the history of myself in the South ; at least
in that particuTar part of the South. . It wras.luring
my residence in that place that I had first san oppor
tunity of seeing and approaching the person op Gen.
Washington, ;and-the gratification of being noticed
by him. The circumstances of the case were as fol
lows : . . r .... . . ! -
Some years ater first election to the chief mag
istracy of the Unio tlic General- made- the tour of
the Southern Statqs ; to all of- which, -Virginia ex
cepted, he was personally a stranger.. In hjs journey
to the South, he gravelled by the eastern ' and " low
country route ; but, on liisreturn, journeying in N'.
Carolina, by tlk. western and hill-country road, he
passed through Salisbury. . .
:On learning xh&t such was the course' he t purposed
to pursue, ther youth of note in the place, high-toned
in feelings ofState pride nd patriotism, and not dis
inclined to Military ixmp and show, (I being one of
them.) met in a body, as f by an instinctive impulse,
on tlie call of another jtfuhg man and myself, organ
ized themselves into a company of light dragoons, and
-elected, as their captain, a gallant -and gentlemanly
oificer". aiid a splendid swordsman, who. in
our revo-standard-
lutionarv war, had distinguished himself as
bearer in one of the corps of Lees legion of horse.
-The leading andjnost highly-prized object of the com
pany was to meet Gen. Washington at the confines
of South and North Okrolina, and escort ! hinrli as a
guard okhonor, through'about twothirdsi iii breadth,
of the latter State. ' , ,-. .. ..
When, our company was organized and fully equip-'
ped, we "rode as fine and richly eapivrisonedj horses,
wore as costly and splendid uniforms, and made as
brilliant an appearance as any cavalry company of
the same size (fifty-five, officers and privates) which
the General had ever reviewed. 1 Of this fact (no doubt
the most highly-prized one that could have been com
municated to us) we were kindly and courteously as
sured by himself. My rank in the company was that
of standurd-bearery j . .
Instead of the whole command proceeding in a body
to meet the President (such was' Wrashington as the
time.) a detachment of th teen privates (one for each
State) wastdcspatch.cd to meet him at thb southern
boundary of North Carolina (a distance of about
seventy or eighty miles), welcome him to the State by
a salutatory address, and escort him ta within about
fifteen miles of Salisbury, where the""whole company
was encamped to receive himv - h
: Of this detachment, chosen bylot (for no private
was wiUing to yield to another the eagerly-sought
honor and gratification of belonging, to it,) I was, with
ttic highly-prized approbation of my conuades, ap
pointed to the command. And never was man more
of ajiappmrument. l would not have changed
my post for tliat 01 uovernor;or rae-vonnnonweaitn.
1 was to receive the I resident," at the head of my
escort, and deliver to him, in person, the intended ad
dress of welcome into, my native StatcJ And my"
supposed fitness for a. very creditable discharge of that
duty (for, as i heretofore mentioned, J. yas accounted
an excellent speaker,) hail cbntributed hot a little to
ward my appoutmeut to ,tne QfUce.
I In a:iuibrt tinie my address was mentally composed,
and committed, not indeed to papjyry but to my mem
ory ; and I often repeat it, silently, when in company,
but audibly, wlien alone: thinking of but little else,
either by day or by liigKtj except the strict discipline
and sohiier-ljke.afipearan'ce of my little 'band.
yLt lepgth, flushed, with high , spirits and bounding
hearts, we were in full inafchtoward the boundary
line of the StatA ... .
1 From the tim.of our atlvance, witbih ten miles of
the place of our destination, I kept, in my front, three
videttcs, distant a mile from each, other the nearest
of them beins a mile from mv little column to con
vey to me half-hourly, intelligence respecting the ap-

.me,:8nc'asjr.:!iad never bcTfi'expfkiiojB And,iti
cueci on me was as deeply mortifymg as it was unpre
cedented. Neyer had I previously quailed before any
tiling earthly. But I was now unmanned. Not only
did I forget my oft-repeated address, but I became
positively unabJe to articulate a word. My imagina
tion had placed me, if not the immodiate presence of a
god of its own, creating, in that of a manio far.-aboye
the rank of ordinary, mortajs, as to be kpproximatedtb
that of thegods of i'ible. Having advanced, therefore,
to,;Within a becoming distance from him, I received
him, jn silence, with the salute of roysword. I could
do no more; I became actually giddyl ; for:,an instant
my vision grew indistinct ; though unsurpassed as a
rider, I felt misteady m my ' seatirttnd almost ready
to fall from, pyr .horse, under the.shocli: of my -.failure,
a shock, trebly strengthened and cmbjittered by its 6c
currence at the head of the band I commanded and
.under the eyes of a man I almost adored.. . My cmpioy
ment .of the term "adored" js neitheij unpremeditated
nor inadvertent". It-is deliberate and earnest... For,
were it alleged in disfavor of me, that j actually i'dol
5zed,the illustrious personage then before ine, 1 could
hardly appeal to my conscience for the incorroctness of
the diarge. 1 ' I
.Quick to perceive my embarrassment, and equally
mclined aud prompt to releive it, Washington return
ed my salute with marked courtes, and, speaking
kindly, paused for a moment, and then desired that we
might proeeed, I riding abfeast of hip, on his left, and
the private of . my escort falling ih double file into
the rear. This opportune measure set me more at my
ease ; but stiU I did not venture to open my lips,W
til my silence rendered me seriously apprehensive that
the President would deem me whollyj incompetent to
the complimentary duty on which I had been "dispatced.
And that thought produced in me a fresh embitterment .
But many minutes had not elapsed when my condition
and prospects began to brighten. j
J Fortunately, I possessed an Ultimate and accurate
acquaintance with the people and j localities of j the
tract .of country through which we were to journey, .as
well as with his general and special Ihistojy both; re
mote and recent. And it. had been the threatre of
several memorable' enterprises and. scenes of battle
and blood, during the. revolutionary war. Most of
the confljejs had occurred between jrhigs and4Tories;
buj some.of them between " the troops under , General
Greene and Ird Coiihwlis: -And respecting each
and all .of tliein, I.hail learned so much from my revo
lutionary father and brothers, .who had been engaged

almost as njioute and vivid as if I had teen an actor
in thehi myself. But, before speaking of them, I held
it to be a duty, which I owed to myself, to apprise Gen.
w aslnngton 01 the cause or.jny tai
proaehing him, 0 render ' to him
lure, on first ap
Ithe salutation to
which he was entitled,, and .which I
had intended : ,
Ai soon, therefore, as I had recov
bred the complete
command of my mind and my tongue, I frankly, and
now, with no-lack of readiojess and fluency, communi
cated to him the cause of my previous silence. I told
him that I had' been -dispatched by my commanding
officer, with the escort which I led, to meet and salute
him, "with a becoming welcome, to phe State of my
nativity. My mortifying failure to discharge that duty
I entreated him to attribute to the deep and irresistible
embarrassment I had experienced onj my first approach
to him. This explanation was closed by an assurance,
under a manifestation of feeling which must have been
obvious to him, that his presence had for a short time
so completely overawed me, as to deprive me entirely
of the power of utterance ; and that it had Been hence

jtwo. bodies of militia, and had never been fully re
corded in print. To Washington, therefore, ho op
portunity to read an accpunt f it had been presented;
a formal dispatch respecting it had not been forward
ed, to :him," because it had no immediate connection
with the regular army ; and the sphere of his opera
tions being in the North, -little or no correct intelli
gence in relation to it had been conimunicatcd to him
through any other channel.
But very different had been my opportunity to ac
quire information with regard to that action. With
a large portion of the "Whigs engaged in it, my father
and brothers were acquainted at the time ; and with
not-a few of them I myself became acquainted, as . a
youth, at a subsequent period. Nor Ayas this all.
One of jpy brothers had himself b,een;deeply concerned
in the battle,, having led into it ab'out sixty of the
most expert riflemen ; iii the country. t
From my early boyhood, therefore,, I had been
familiar with the details of the "Battle of Ramsauer's
MU1,", having heard them recited scores of times, in
the form of a fireside and exciting -storylt! t
. I need hardly-remark, that, by the indulgent atten
tion with which the President honored my narratives
and representations', and the kind and complimentary
replies he occasionally made to me,-I was highly grat
ified. .-He at length-inquired of me whether he might
expect to meet at Charlotte any of the leading mem
bers of the convention which prepared and passed the
Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, aud espe
cially .whether my father would be there. I -replied
that my father was dead, and that ,Dr. Prevard, the
author of the Declaration, Avas also dead ; that, of
the members of the convention still living, I knew
personally but two Adam Alexander, who had been
president of the body, and John McKnitt Alexander,
his brother, who had been its secretary ; that they
were far advanced indlrK and lived at some distance
from Charlotte, but that I felt confident their ever
green spirit of patriotism, nnited to their strong desire
to see him, would bring them there, should they be
able to travel! . j ., ' . .
On the etening of that lay, having , arrived at Ihe
head-quarters of the troop to which I belonged, I sur
rendered myjplace to my snperiors in rank,, and. re
ceived from Washington, in theft presence) a compli
ment rpeculiarly gratifying to me, as weli on account
of the manner .of its. bebtowal as of its bSvn import
on whathe.was pleased to pronounce my ."honorable
and exemplary deportment as an officer, and the inter
esting and valuable information I had imparted to
him... respecting the country and its inhabitants"
through which I had escorted h jml Ai ' . : : .
. During Washington's stay, iri Salisbury, I was much
around his person, in the. capacity of junior master of
ceremony, and when the Ueneral left Salisbury, on
his . way tp the jSTorth, I again, at the head of a new
aiid larger escort, attended him to Guilford Court-house,
the celebrated battle-ground of Green and Corhwallis
a distance, as wall, as 1 now remember, of sixty miles,
Having herCj .conducted him over tlie field of action
f the two armies, according to the best information
I could collect respecting its localities and limjts,vyfe
returned to the Court-house, whefei comformably to
my orders, I' reluctantly took leave of him he: to
proceed on his journey to the then seat of government,
and I to retrace my route to the South. Nor, highly
nattered as 1 had been by his notice of me, and even
by occasional marks of his apparent partiality toward
me, and sincerely attached as I had become, to his
person, was' the act of leave-taking, on my part,
without much more emotion than I believed I should
experience.'"' - ' v. " . ' --
Having paid to him, at the head of my little squad
ron, thet farewell ceremony, in military style, and being
about to issue the command to move forward, Wash
ington beckoned me to approach him Having ea
gerly advanced to within a suitable distance, lie
bowed in his saddle and extended to me his hand. -
That act, accompanied, as I fancied it to be, by an
appearance,- in his countenance, of marks of feeling,
again completefy unmanned and silenced me. .. As on

my sword, I could now;bid him a personal farewell-in
