SENATOR DRODHEAD's VOTE FOR
MIR. CLAYTON,S AMENDMENT.

The Bradford Reporter, Mr.. Wilmot's home
organ, complains that the recent democratic
State convention in Pennsylvania approved Of
the course Of Senator Brodhead, of that State;
and, among other things, says Mr.. Brodhead
/" stops at nothing demanded by the south, even
to DISTINGUISHING foreigners who may settle in
the Territories
This charge we see frequently made in the
wing and abolition prints of Pennsylvania and
elsewhere, and it is untrue in point of fact.
The vote of Senator Brodhead on the Clayton
amendment gives foreigners precisely the same
rights in Nebraska that they have in Pennsy-
vania, and the vote was given in accordance
with the requirements Of the eighth section Of
the Constitution, which says: The Congress
shall have power to establish q uniform rule
