The True Doctrine.
We liml in tlie Charleston Mercury an article from ;
the Richmond 'Whig, upon the state of parties in Yir- |
ginin, contesting claims for the next Presidential nomi- !
nation, in which Mcssis. IlKXitv A. Wisk, and It. M. j
T. llt'KTKit, are prominently presented.
From that article we select the following extract,
which, in our opinion, contains iri a nut-shell. the true
doctrine and position which the Smith should hold and
maintain in referent!' to what some, who oppose pro: '
tcclion. are pleased to term "a slavery code." Certainly ;
w'c of tiie South should not be willing to receive less
thiiil such acknowledgement of our constitutional rights.

' We believe that Congress is Constitutionally bound
to afford just and equal protection to all sorts and descriptions

fuse to grant such protection, it is the duty of Congress
to ' intervene" promptly and effectually, and see that
no man's rights of property, in the territories of the
Union, shall suffer any detriment in any respect; either
by studied neglect or''unfriendly legislation" on the
pari of the territorial authorities, who arc only the
agents and subordinates of the Federal Government."

Hlonfs of N.mn.uizEu Citizens.-?As much
misconception prevails with regard to the views
of gowrmncnt relative to the rights of naturalized
citizens, the .Secretary of State litis transmitted
a dispatch to the Minister of the United States
at Berlin, in the cftse of a naturalized citizen of
the United States, a native of llanover, who
was neither in actual service in the Hanoverian
army, nor had hecu drafted to serve in it when
he emigrated, hut who was compelled upon his
return to Hanover to do military duty. Hen,
Cass, l?y direction of the President, lias demanded
tlicrelease of this man iVom the Hanoverian
government.
In this dispatch the doctrine of perpetual allegiance
is denied, and the right of expatriation
recognized, The Constitution of the United
States, it is aflifmcd, by conferring on Congress
the potior "to establish a uniform rule of
naturalization," gives recognition to this right,
and Congress has, in conformity thereto, exercised
the power. The distinction is repeated
and enforced in the dispatch between a pnscnl
and Jntiire liability to serve in the army of Ids
native country by the subject ol a foreign State,
the former being denied and the latter admitted.Chtu

OBITUARY.
Died, at his residence in Kirkwood, on Sunday. July
27, Dr. JOHN McC'AA, Sr., 111 the 117th year of
his age.
He commenced the practice of medicine in Camden
181G. Warm and quick in his allectidns, and combining
many pleasing and endearing social qualities,
he, through life, attached to himself the strong
alleetions of a large circle of friends. His unusually
long and varied experience as a physician, united with
a linfe judgment and an admirable tact in the management,
especially of delicate, complicated and chronic
eases of disease, justly caused the most absolute and
devoted reliance to he placed in his professional skill
by those who, for a length of time, had availed themselves
of his services. In the true spirit of his calling.
ho was ever willing to sacrifice himself for the
food of his naticnts. Those in whole families he has
passed sleepless nights, and anxious, watchful, weandays.
(yet never apparently weary to liiin.) will remember
him with the love and gratitude which he has
merited from them, and will deeply and bitterly mourn
bis loss. lie had. at certain periods during life, been
brought under the influence of strong religious feeling,
but it was reserved for his death-bed to finish this
great spiritual work. Suffering for nearly six months
from the repeated intermitting attacks of a disease
than which mortals know none more painful, he was
indeed "chosen in the furnace of artliction.** From the
first lie never murmured, but confessed Clod's righteousness,
his own unworiiiiness, and his desert of
chastisement lie was engaged much in prayer during
his illness, and seemed ever glad to have it proemphatically
avowed, with God and man, in the com
munion of the Church, and in an humble but steadfast
and most comforting hope of pardon and salvation
through an atoning Redeemer.
