Mr.. DARGIN OF Ala. here appeared and took the

Mr.. CHASE of Tennessee opposed the reference TO

Mr.. GRovER Of York followed in a very
good speech but trod rather hard upon the confines
of truth in referring the Wing party. He also
damaged the English Grammar somewhat IN using
the word - sot' for " sat. &c &c. He quoted docu-
| menis to prove that George Washington was not
Native in principle. His writings were opposed to
those of Nativism. George the Third was the ilrst
defender of Nativism.


The Alien Law was another piece Of Nativism.
RUFUS KINGS conduct toward the Irish Refugees
was another sample OF Nativeism. The last spec
