A WORD FROM Mr. CLAY.-The New
York Tribune publishes the following ex-
tract of letter from an eminent Kentuck.
ian, stating some facts which Mr.. Clay's
friends will hear with profound interest:
LExNcroN, Ky. Nov. 10, 1S4i.
Last evening visited Mr..
Clay at Ashland, and passed some hours with
him, talking over the events Of tho last few
months, and the prospect ahead found him
alone--caln and self poised He seemed 10 for.

and his friends, whose fidelity and devotion, he
observed, he should never cease to cherish ss

lions against him--the Infamous frauds in ORE.

the atrociou: calumnes OF his private character.
were all alluded 10, and stated some facts com.
ing under my own observation, giving yet a
darker shade 10 the picture OF the magniy with
which our great Statesman has been hunted
down. -
"Mr Clay wiH Meier again return 10 public

measure Of his fame is complete. His life will
one day DC written by an impartial pen, and

THE TEXAS QUESTION.

at Nashville:
THE TEXAS QUESTION.
1t most singular that any honest wing should
now attribute the loss Of his party in Tennessee
to the Texas question. II was mere bubble, a
miserable humbug in their estimation, destined
to last but few weeks; and time after time i,
was proclaimed 10 be dead-yet now the Texas
question injured the wings! 1t would have blown
the wing party sky high in all the South and
West, but for the unfortunate course of Col.
BentOn--he came to their relief on that question,
and long ought theytO remember him for his
aid
Again:
A letter from Philadelphia says:-Mr. Buc.
hanan's position at present, and more particularly
in reference TO the next four years, is singularly
important 10 the interests Of The Democratic par.
ty. The lead OF the new Administration will
devolve upon him, which, considering the par,v
cast Of the Senate, will be no trivial command
lie, however enjoys, both the esteem and conf
dence of the whole OF that enlightened BODY
which will materially modify the task.
Having been chairman Of the committee or
Foreign Affairs for many years, he has BECAME

For the American Republican

MEssRs. EDIroRs-T'he noble and patriotic
stand you have adopted in the American Re
publican cause, and the readiness with which
| you publish any communication OH that grea
question, is deserving of the highest praise
and no doubt will be rightly appreciated by
every true lover of his country, whether ma
! tive or adopted. Under these considerations
beg leave to otfei a few remarks, hoping you
will give them favorable reception. Numer.
Gus plans have been suggested as to the beS
mode of protecting our elective franchise pure
from the communicating influence of foreign
powers, and to prevent the rapid increase o.
voters, which must be the grand object of al
true Americans; but amongst all the variou:
plans proposed there is none better in my opin.
ion, than the one suggested by your cores.
pondent of the 22d instant, in which the writer
proposes, that let the extension be what it may
as to time, sno Immigrant be allowed to vote
for three years after receiving his naturalization
papers. Such a measure would efiectually
prevent any party from counting the favors OF
naturalized citizens, as there would be no i'm
mediate prospect of securing their votes.
agree with the same writer in what he affirms
that each party has knowingly abused the pri-
vilege of the naturalization laws, to the dis
grace of America. Under these views, how
can we conscientiously blame immigrants for
taking advantage of the law, when they are
encouraged by those calling themselves Amer-
cans? Shame on such men, | would say, who
for the sake of party purposes, would trife
with our most sacred rights They are not
worthy of being freemen. 1t is evident to
every candid mind that we, ourselves, are to
blame for the numerous evils practised on the
ballot box by foreigners; for who would blame
the drowning man for taking hold of the rope
held out to him for his preservation? Such is
precisely the case with the immigrant. The
fault is in ourselves, who made the law which
grants HIM the privilege; and we must remedy
the evil ourselves. We have the energy and
ability TO accomplish any thing we undertake.:
why then do we not set about the work of re-
formation at once2 Let ward meetings be cal
led distinguished men invited to give their
views on the subject; resolutions framed and
put into practice, and the work will be done.
Our forefathers were not so tardy at the COM
mencement of the revolutionary struggle
Let us emulate our noble sires in the good
cause, and success will crown our efforts

the Convention adjourned.
EVENING SESSION.
The Convention assembled at O'Clock,
Judge Hail. LIST vice president, in the chair
Prayer, by the Rev. William Hamilton.
The unfinished business of the afternoon ses-
sion, being the motion of DR.. Boardman, was
taken up, when the Rev. Mr.. Brainard of
Philadelphia, offered a substitute for the origi-
nal resolution, which he thought would meet
the views of all parties A motion was made
and carried, to lay the substitute and original
resolution on the table. DIR. Boardman then
offered the following resolution, with view to
carry out the object of the first resolution.
Resolved, That this Convention express
their deep regret, that the National Legislature
and other Legislative bodies should, in several
instances within the last few years, have deem
ed it expcdicnt to continue their sessions
through part of the Sabbath; and they cher
ish the hope that all our Legislative bodies
may hereafter abstain from the transaction of
business on that day.
The discussion became highly interesting,
and was participated iii by Messrs. Slicer, Coo
per- Mcdowell, Child, Mitchell, Bond, Bry-
an, Gen. Chambers, of Pa, and others.
The remarks of the Rev. Mr.. Slicer in favor
of, and those of Gen. Chambers in opposition
to, the resolution were of an eloquent and in
teresting character, and were listened to by
the large crowd present with great attention.
The convention was still in session when we
went to press last night, but a final adjournment
had been determined upon.
