we'll await for the natural current Of events.
We should not fsster our future action by
premature declarations, nor mar the greatness
OF our deeds by boasting.
II we were not too easily swervcd by passion,
we could rely more upon the future. We hays
too many great men among us, and their power
IL too great. There never was an era in which
posthumous fame could be 20 easily won
Mr.. Latham Thought no appeals were requi-
site to arouse the valor Of our people. No wars,
no strife should be excited for the purpose Of
maniiesting our prowess. Tho resisting Of
wrong that could not otherwise DO righted,
should alone authorizes our departure from the
path of peace
Mr. L. alluded to the delicate relations Of
our Government with Spain, in reference to
Cuba. He could have no idea of Cnba's pass
ing into tho hands OF any other nation than
ours.
In due courfe of time, Cuba would come un-
der the hammer, but none could pay more for
it than ourselves We ought not, indeed, to
permit q competition for it. But time will
bring about the proper result. Let us not
hasten that time.
II SPAIN however, should attempt to my that
Island waste, we should be compelled to lay
orr hands upon her, and to annex that island.
Spain may attempt to set the slaves at liberty,
to deprive us Of enjoying that possession and

fined fifty talents, for taking bride; and, in
default Of payment, was forced to fly from
Athens. The republic subsequently, RENTED
the fine hut did not reverse the judgment
Pitt aud Fox were both insolvent, and were
offered, respectively, by the merchants Of Lon
don, the means OF acqutting themselves OF
their pecuniary liabilities. Both declined the
offer, deeming siich an onligation to a particu-
lar class and interest in the community, In
compatible with the free and impartial per-
Torrance. of their official duties to all classes
and interests of their fellow citizens. Clay, Web
stcr, and Calhoun, were insolvent at some pc
Rod, and probably during the greater part OF
their lives We know that the first received
magnificent donation from the merchants OF
New York, to relieve him from debt; and that
the second received many such from the mer-
chants, both of New York and Boston, for
every purpose, except paying his debts. There
is no doubt in my mind, that all three OF those
distinguished statesmen, had their creditors
been urgent and inexoralle, might have been
sold under such legislation as Governor Cass's
And would the sovereign People Of the United
States have had no power to prevent their
being marched off to Nebraska, and set to
work under slave-drivcr? Mr.. Cass should
have compassion on men who have been
less fortunate or less eager than himself in
getting at the public treasure, and not prepare
for them such wretched destiny Few men
in this country can expect to be General in
the army, Governor Of Territory, Indian Su-
perintendent and Plenipotentiary to negotiate

We heard last night report that MIR,
Douglas had already taken measures for tle
establishment Of Press in Kansas, pledged Of
course TO advocate the provisions Of the Ne
braska- Kansas BIZ, and tho whole course Of

Knowing as we do the activity, energy, vigil.
auce, and promptncss Of that Senator, we see
nothing improbable in the report. Such a
Press is indispensable 70 Mr.. Douglas and biz
associates in the new Territories, and would
doubtless be fostered by Executive patronage.

LYONS, IONA Co, MICH, June 5, 1854

To tie Editor of the National Era:
like the suggestion of an address to the
People of the United StateP, by those members
Of Congress who opposed the Nebraska swim
die. Would hut q respectable number of men,
bers Of the liberal press of the old parties, con-
nected with papers Of extensive circulation, Of
character and Influence be induced to urge the
measure, | think the matter would be accom-
plished IL seems to me that an earnest appeal
to the people, showing the character, objects,
and probable consequences, OF the bill, and the
means that have been made use Of to urge it
through, and coming from 80 large majority
Of the Representatives of the North, and of
those who truly represent tho sentiment of that
section, would produce consequences little
thought of by the su portcrs of That rascality.
IL such an address, Invested Of a party charac-
ter, and which did not show disposition to
claim this, for any particular party, as their
particular thunder, were generally circulated
through the land, | believe it would produce
incalculable benefits to the cause Of Liberty,
and tend to the complete disenthralment Of the
North am satisfied that this is the only ale
course for those Democrats that opposed the
bill. Already there are limitations thrown
out that they are to be executed as deserters, AZ
an example to deter others from like indie
pendcnce in the future. They may be well as-
sured that they will not be forgiven, but be re
garded as having committed the objectionable
sin, in doubling the opinions Of an Executive
backed by the weighty arguments Of Offices
with fat salaries

CLAYTON AMENDMENT, AND THE TEST OATH

We again print Me Clayton amendment, in
is now the law OF the land:
q SEC 90 And be IL further enacted, That
every free white male inhabitant above the
age Of twenty-one years, who shall be an act
ual resident Of said Territory, and shall poe
seas the qualifications hereinafter prescribed
shall be entitled TO VOTE AT THE FIRST
ELECTION, and shall be eligible to any Office
within the said Territory; but the qualifca-
tions Of voters, and Of holding Office, at oil
subsequent elections, shall be such as shall be
prescribed by the Legislative Assembly Pro
pided, That the right Of suffrage and Of holding
Office shall be exercised ONLY BY CITIZENS
OF THE UNITED STATES, AND THOSE
WHO SHALL HAVE DECLARED ON
OATH THEIR INTENTION TO BECOME
SUCH, AND SHALL HAVE TAKEN AN
OATH TO SUPPORT THE CONSTITU.
TON OF THE UNITED STATES AND
THE PROVISIONS OF THIS ACT: Ind
providtd, further, That no officer, soldier, sea-
man, or marine, or any other person in the
army or navy Of the United States, or attached
to troops in the service Of the United States
shall be allowed to vote or hold Office in said
Territory by reason Of being on service there
in.n
The New York Evening Post explains il as
follows.
1.-THE declaration Of intention referred TO, is
that mentioned in the naturalization acts, and
tho oath to support the Constitution is that
taken at the end Of five years residence after
a declaration Of intention. None but citizens
those who are born in the country, or, by a five
ycars naturalization, have become citizens--
swear 10 tho Constitution. The judges who
will be appointed will unquestionably so hold,
and exclude all others from the polls.O
By the same Bill, the Indian Intercourse Act
is extended to the Territories, under which the
Nulli6ers propose to exclude all foreigners, I'M
less they bear passport from tho War De-
partment specifying the object for which they
visit them, and limiting their sojourn in them.

To the Editor Of the National Era.
The change in this community, and more
particularly in this city, is without precedent.
Men speak like men. Freedom is the watch
word. Conservatives are opening their eyes
towards progression, which hitherto has been
darkness to their blinded vision. The letters
are thrown from the pulpit and the press, with
one or two exceptions and, all in all, the
prospect for freedoms cause was never bright
or. Once awaken the conservative cotton COM
munty to full sense Of the great injustice the
North are constantly receiving from the slave
holding South, and happy crisis in this great
national sin of Slavery will soon follow. Let
US hope that this millennial day is just now
dawning. The good people of Boston are long
ing to hear yet again from that noble band Of
men who have stood shoulder to shoulder in the
great struggle upon the Nebraska question
Words of advice from those persons would in
fuence more than scores of lectures. Your
paper is fulflling it's high mission believe, in
kinding the hearts of those who falter in the
glorious enterprise to which it is dedicated.

ing ably reviewed the aspects presented by the

large number Of negroes in state Of freedom,
he became alarmed, descended from his hobby

The HEALTH OF WAsHNGToN.-So far as
we are informed, the health of this city is at
present good; but from the accounts we hear
from other localities, we should anticipate the
inroads Of disease at An early day. Ought we
not to prepare ourselves to avert it, or to as
suage IT'D fury? Oar streets and alleys are by
no means in good order at present, and the
little means required to render them SO should
be promptly appropriated.
We would suggest, as a practical, appropri-
ate means Of bringing about this reform, that
any citizen who is annoyed By nuisances in the
vicinity of his dwelling or place of business,
should promptly address a note to the Mayor,
informing him of the fact, and asking him to
direct the attention Of the proper officers to the
subject.
