SENATOR CLEMENS 1t has been as
serted again and again, by Opposition
papers that should have been better in
formed, that this rabid Alabama Senator
was, during the Presidential Campaign,
"Taylor Democrat" and that he was
elected to the Senate as such. We have
already denied that there was shadow
of truth in their statements, aud il is
now in our power to adduce the testimo-
ny Of Mr.. Clemens himself to the fact
that he advocated the election of Mr..
Cas-, and considers himself democrat
in good and regular standing" The
following is from his remarks in reply
to Mr.. Cdss's explanation of the Nichol-
son letter, in the Senate, Feb, 90:
" But, Mr.. President, | must inform
the Senator from Michigan that the con-
struction which he now puts upon the
Nicholson letter, was never put upon it
by his party in Alabama must tell
him that if his present construction is
the right one, Ihave been CRAFTY in
shNmentaI in misleading the minds ofthe
peopIe Of my State in ADVOCATING HIS
CLAIMS.

is very great mistake in tho popular mind, as
to the Proprety Of granting snch persons faeil-
tiles for travel and observation. There is no
denying that Editors sometimes are allowed TO
ride over railroad free, upon application, but
at the same time it very onen happens that they
are asked to ride by the officers and managers,
knowing that the publicity given TO the road
and matters Of interest upon the route is ten
or twelve fold remuneration for such courtesy.
II is tho public attention which is drawn TO-
wards the read and interesting matters on the

what they have read about, gepays for such
courtesy. Every astute and practical business

On and since Monday. Paris has been in
n state of siege, in consequence ola series
oC disturbances created by The mob of the
Rue ST. Martin, where the Police aulhoFi-
lies came to cot down certain Of the trees
of Liberty planted during the Revolution.
From the accounts, which, by the way, are
rather conflicting, it would appear that
when the order for The demolition of these
last emhIems OF the Liberty of the French
People we're issued, large crowds gathered
around and decorated these dead symbols
of Liberty. and that the Police, acting I'M
der orders from the Executive, proceeded
TO cut them down. The police were resist

Monday and Tuesday, in consequence oil

then, however, the whole affair has been
quoted, and about 800 persons committed

some difficulty existed in reference to some

from Athens state that four or five war yes
sells belonging 10 King Ohio were captured
by the English squadron, and that all
Greek merchantmen We're prohibited from
leaving or entering their respective ports.
1t appears that the policy Of The Greek

decision OF the French and Russian Cabi-
nets has been taken on the subject. What
ever the explorations Of the BRUSH Minis

French Government; therefore Greece is
not likely 10 receive much assistance in that
quarter. 1t is reported that England has

Mr. Stewards Speech.

The following lie an abstract OF the speech o
Mr.. Seward, Of New York, in the u. S. Senate
Oh the ! lIh INST, on the Slavery question.
sir. SEWARD said that, tour years ago, Cali
fcrnia was i Mexican province, and known only
10 .;s from her port of San Francisco, which even
al that time, was looked at as a most desirable
subject for acquisition. One year ago, CaIior-
ma was independency Of the United States,
and her acquisition was considered as a most hap
py achievement. To day, California is here ap-
plying for admission into this Union as a State.
and finds us here grarely debating upon DISCO
luton OF the Union itself. The question now is,
shall California be admitted into the Union p
Several objections were urged against her ad-
mission. Ii was said that she had adopted d
State government unceremonionsly and without
the previous expressed consent oil Congress, and
hence came here under an act Of usurpalion.
This Charge was if not 10 tact, al
least in spirit. California was torn from the en-
pire Of Mexico, and added 10 The domain of This
Union bat in SO dong compact was made,
whereby 1t was stipulated that those Mexican
provinces should be admitted into this Union.
But II sas SAID that she comes unauthorized.
Michigan, and several other States, came In the
came way. California pleads these precedents.
Is not the plea sufficient? 1t was said that 1t
WIS guaranteed that Michigan should be admit
ing more titan compact, and California pleaded
an equally binding one. California was compelled
by the gTea, law of selfpreseratioB, 10 adopt
ihIs constitution, and seek admission as Stale.
She was military colony, exposed 10 internal
Corruption and strife, and dangerous to the pa
rent power; ana for throwing II of she deserved
not rebuke but praise and admiration.
The boundary OF California was not proper
objection; there was Rome, and there could be
no standard OF measure for States. Her territory
was compact, contiguous, and united; no ada
cen, States were complaining or 'nurrnurng y
census, and laws regulating suffrage, were not
available at the time. She was abandoned by
Congress, and had to make the best regulations
in her power The pilgrim fathers, VINO were

important notice to those who are in arrear. On

from our direction books the names of all sub
scribcrs who are in arrear for more than two
years, and proceed to collect the amount due
from then. Ii any can pay without trouble,
they have no excuse; If any ,rPl not pay except
upon conpulsion, duty 10 ourselves requires us
TO compel them; aud If any really cannot pay,
i, is time for US to stop furnishing papers with
out compensation. Nor is Ibis course for our
advantage only it Is really for the advantage
also of all whose accounts are running up faster
than they are aware of, and will prove serious
difficulty TO them if suffered TO go on. We are
anxious 10 settle every case without recourse 10

slavery. Theoretically, this is a strong anti
slavery speech; the blunder is that all the prac-
ticai points in il are those most favorable to
Slavery. This was the result ofthe position that
Mr.. Webster assumed at the time: he came TO
pour oil upon the troubled waters; and being
Northern man, he seems to have thought that he
could in no way so well propitiate Southern men
as by giving prominence only to the points most
favorable to them. The consequence is that the
North condemns him, at first sight OF the speech,
and the South as readily applauds Now we
venture to think that Mr. Webster might just as
well have presented all the strong points IN the
case on both sides, in his mightiest style, and
SO better satisfied every body and better
prepared every body for settlement of the
matter. He preferred to dwell upon topics
most acceptable to the South: he has already
found that he will have to meet the Northern
side, and wash out his sins of omission. Indeed
he has begun this part of his duty. A week af
ter this speech was delivered, Mr. Webster de-
clared that he was for the admission of Califor-
MIA at once, Independent of all other questions.
1t is said that he is also TO take ,he ground of
Mr. Benton IN reference to all the territory ac-
quired fiom Mexico HAT is, that Slavery never
can be admitted there except by specific legis-
lative enactment-a very important point, which
is entirely unnoticed in the speech. 1t is said
also that he will go for no compromise measure
of any sort, but support the proposition of the
President, waive the establishment OF territorial
governments and wait for the admission of
new states to be formed out of New Mexico,-
Just California is to be admitted All these are
improvements upon his speech. We suspect
that Mr. Webster will find still more room for
improvement.
