CORRECT THE RECORD.

The Free Press of Detroit makes very free
with the fact when it accuses the Wings of the Sc
nate Of insiduously attempting to defeat the Ne
fraska bill BY ENGRAVING on it the Clayton amend
aient The Wings, we are sorry to say, are innocent
.eswhat the Press attempts to fasten on them as
rproach. That amendment, the reader will recol-
lect, was to confne the privilege Of voting and
holding Office in the new Territories to citizens Of
the United States Although this important and
very proper provision was originally inserted in the
Senate bill on the motion of Wing Senator, it was
carried mainly by Democratic support, the twenty
three voses by which it was adopted consisting of
fourteen Democrats and nine Wings. When the
House bill came to the Senate with the Clayton
amendment omitted it is true that its insertion was
again moved by Wing Senator, but the Wings
abandoned it almost in a body--only four out OF
their whole number voting in its favor; many Of
them avowing that, just and proper in principle as
they considered the Clayton amendment, they would
sasrifcs ii than endanger the bill by insert
ing it. The repeal Of an imperative" compro
mise was held to be an object paramount to the con-
servation Of the great and distinguishing right Of
American citizenship.
The Detroit paper concludes its article with the
following flourish for the great Southern uictory:
"The great measure Of popular sovereignty has
triumphed! A glorious principle Of Republican
Government is nobly, brilliantly indicated Con.
gressional usurpation is at an END. Henceforth
THE PEOPLE viii every where make their own local
lays, independent Of Federal dictation. Let the
whole nation rejoice" sS
