MR.. CLAY ON THE POWER OF
CONGRESS.

We publish on the first page Of TO-.
days paper, an extract from q speech
Of the Hon. HENRY CLAY, giving his
views on the Power Of Congress to
Legislate for the Territories. in regard
TO the introduction or prohiJiti0n Of sla-
very. His views on this subject will be
read with interest Of this time; and we
particularly call the attention Of wings
and democrats TO the extracts, as com.
ing from one whose patriotism and
love Of country has never been doubt.
ed, and whose opinions are eminen,ly
worthy Of respect and consideration.
According to locofoco logic. and
Gen. Clark's views, Mr.. Clay is q vii
mot Provisoisi and FREQ Soicr The
Metropolitan. which has taken especial
pnins 10 compliment the General, Of late,
is not able TO see much difference be
tween man admitting the power, end
being in favor Of its erercise;" or. in
other words. any one who admits the
power, is necessarily bound to 20 for
exercising that power-and would
therefore vote to apply the Proviso TO
our Mexican territories. Let US sec
whether the admission of the power by
Mr.. Clay, leads him TO vote for the pro.
viso.
In the early part Of las. month, when
the Compromise Bill. was before the
United States Senate, Mr.. Seward, of
New York, moved TO insert The vii.
mot proviso in express terms, as fol.
lowe:
Provided, That slavery nor involun, ury
soIviluda, excep. for the punishment, Of
crime, whereof the party shall be duly cons
vicIed, shall not be, bu! is hereby forever
excluded and prohibited in the said Terrific.

And the question being taken. the
amendment was rejected. as follows:

Here we have practical rebuko to
those who insist that the admission of
the power makes zone a free soiler in
principle" for. if this were true, the
Proviso would have been adopted by
the Senate, and, we suppose, tho multi
fers would have been in arms, ere this.
Mr. Clay. and others, when the abstract
question of power is pushed al them,
candidly admit. that in their opinion,
il does exist; but ask them to vote in
favor of its else, and they give

We intensely sympathize with our Democratic
fellow citizens, Prof Grant, Capt Isaiah Rynders,
Hon. Dan. f. Sickles, etc, for the severe discom-
future they experienced at the Abolition conven-
ton at the Tabernacle yesterday. Unsuccessful
in their attempts to kick up row of respectable
dimensions, they attempted, for once in their
lives to reason, and, being invited to the stand,
undertook to demonstrate that the negro Is not
human being, though the learned Professor
thought he belonged to the genus homo: and
then he launched out into sea Of learning, cited
naturaists, quoted Latin, talked Of vertebras,
cerebellums &c, using scientific and medical
terms In such profusion as to make himself ridic-
ulous and excite the visibility Of the audience
hugely person Of due shrewdness and learn
ing might possibly have rendered this position
plausible, but those qualities were sadly lacking
on the side Of the Democracy on this occasion.

There is no paper at the seat Of Government

The statistics Of eleven other towns are given, all
of which, except three, were in declining state.
The above statement, besides refuting the allie
cation of the propagandists of slavery touching
the British emancipation act, exhibits in the
strongest colors imaginable the damning cruelty
of the system Of Cuban slavery. How mon
strous must be the system which depopulates
country teeming with the richest bounties of
nature! IL cannot be said that Cuba has been
depopulated by emigration, like Virginia and
the Carolinas, because the fact is notorious,
that thousands of negroes are yearly import
ed from Africa, in order to supply the demands
of the Island for labor. Cuba is not q slave
breeding country, like Virginia it is ten thou
sand times worse slave-consuming country
We have seen it stated, and the above figures
would seem to support the assertion, that not
withstanding the importation Of some two hun
dred thousand slaves into Cuba and Brazil, year
ly, from Africa, there is an annual diminuticn of
that class Of the population in both those coun-
tries! There is no parallel in history certainly
not in the history of Christendom) to this whole
sale slaughter, except it be found in the case of
the aboriginal population of the same Island of
Cuba, which was utterly exterminated, to the
number of million, by the ancestors Of the pres
ost Spanish possessors OF The Island Such are
the people whom the propagandists Of slavery
would bring into the American Union, to make
our laws and become our exemplars Forbid it,
