to support the provisions of an act of Congress,
though not unprecedented, ought not, in my
Judgment to be required. | speak only now
Of the principle of discrimination. | approve
the principle Of that bill, so far as it refused
to discriminate between immigrants on the
ground OF difference as to date OF arrival In
the country. desire to have no such dscrim-
nation made in this bill. | want no discrim-
nation upon any principle which will not mp
prove itself to q sound, just and logical mind.
have, therefore, prepared an amendment,
which, il adopted, viii remove from the bill
those words which deny it's benefits to after
comers, and will secure its equal operation in
favor Of all immigrants who intend to become
citizens of the country
It is not necessary for me TO say anything at
this stage Of the discussion in respect to the
extension of the benefits of this bill to immi-
grants. But may be allowed to remark, that
/ do not see that any harm has, as yet resulted
to our country from foreign immigration. That
some immigrants, and, possibly, some classes of
immigrants have rendered themselves obnox-
ious to public sentiment justly jealous Of the
introduction of ecclesiastical influence into our
politics, may be true. But the general masses
Of the immigration are liable to no snch impu-
tation They are represented in every depart
ment Of your industry. They are engaged in
your commerce, in your manufactures, and in
your agriculture. Some of them represent the
national sovereignty abroad others Of them
worthily and honorsbly represent the sover-
eighty Of States upon this floor. The immi-
grants, whose cause plead, are as Intelligent
as worthy, as usefnl and as respectable, as any
other portion Of our population. Far from
greeting them upon their arrival on our shores
with the harsh and odious discrimination #
this bill, would bid them all welcome, and re-
ceiyc them as brothers. BY the manifestation
Of a generous confidence by fair, manly, hon.
orabie treatment of them, would endeavor to
convince them of the expediency and necessity
Of diyesting themselves, az speedily as possible,
Of their foreign character and of putting on,
with the rights and privileges, the sentiments
also, Of American citzens Thus, sir, would
Americanize them by generosity and justice.
Once Americanizod in mind and heart tho
most Jealous mind need entertain no apprehen-
sions of evil from their coming among us and
sharing in all our privileges.
will now submit the amendment which
have indicated.

Of the Senator from Delaware.
Mr.. CHASE. Let my amendment be read

POLITICS AND CHRISTIANITY.
The New York Tribune says:

The New I ork 1ft6ufie says.
can upright man need no moro 'backslide
from the pulpit into Congress- than from New
England into China, Tor Sodom,) should he be
sent thither as n missionary. A true soldier
of the Cross ought to be willing to grapple
with the hardest cases Of impiety and iHiquity !;
and where could he find harder than in Con-
gressa And, besides, an evangelist need not
stop preaching because elected to Congress,
any more than an editor need stop writing.
Let him lift up his voice every Sabbath in rep
rotation of current sins-he can be sure ito
get the floor on that day, when he might
struggle week for it in the House, and not
4 obtain ii.
Weregard minister of the Gospel as neither
more nor less than q man and a citizen, and
we regard all laws and usages excluding him
from even the fullest participation in the act
i've useful duties Of life, as the shadows Of su-
perstition still lingering among US
1t is no doubt true Of the ministerial Office,
as it is Of law, medicine. carpentry, or shoe
making that he is the moro efficient in its pur-
suit who devotes himself exclusively to it; and,
80 far as the Chinese rule, Of binding men and
their descendants to aeiven pursuit forever, is
relishable in this country, so far is there peril
nence and force in keeping ministers, lawyers,
doctors carpenters, and shocmakers, out of tho
political arena; but no farther. "The filthy
miro Of politics. is Senatorial phrase; but
it is not true phrase, except where filthy and
miry Senators make it 30; and where they do,
the presence Of pure and good men is needed
to elevate the character Of the place, and to
save tho republic from the evils Of its profiga-
cy and corruption.
We assert well-known truth, when we say,
that in the Capital Of this nation, among its
honcrcd legislators, oaths, imprecations, and
blasphemies, are horribly redundant; that true
dignity and elevated morality arc laughed to
scorn; and that good and virtuous men Of the
Republic very generally decline to contest for
positions in the midst Of mere worldly, reck-
less and vindictive men.
Our remarks are not of universal applica-
ton in either House of Congress; but the Do
gree to which they are applicable should
arouse the attention Of the country, alarm the
just, the moral, and the religious, throughout
tho land, and induce prompt and thorough
reform through such means as have been sug-
gsstcd by the New York Tribune. c.

OF the speech of this gentleman, TO which

that in its broad philanthropy, in its genuine

This able and manly champion of freedom
has been invited to Illinois, to address the pee
pie on the subject Of Slavery Ga The 4th inst.
he addressed large assembly, consisting OF
thousands of the people, without distinction OF
party. lie spoke for two hours and half, and
commanded the profound attention of ell
present. His able speech appears at length in
the Chicago papers; and it is singular that its
leading thought, though expressed in different
language, and illustrated differently, was al
most identical with that which pcrvadss the
fine grafton Of the Rev. Mr. Chaplin, delivered
on the Same day in the Crystal Palace at New
York. They each attempt to expound the
leading idea Of the Revolution. Mr.. Chaplin
calls it the American Idea, and defines it to be
the inestimoble ,corth Of euery human being.
Mr.. Clay, after denying that the mere Decla-
ration of National Independence is reason
for perpetual rejoicings, says: "What was it,
then, characteristic and peculiar in our ma
toms birth, to justify pride and exultation i
answer, that it 10 the great principle Of the
equality Of man the idea which had been
battling for 100 years against every sort Of
opposition, and which was first eliminated and
put in operation by the declaration Of our in
dependence"

nois and Iowa, as follows:
July 7th, at Ottawa, in the afternoon.

at such time and place as the people shall APP

Mr.. Julian, from the Committee on Resolu-
tons, made minority report, the adoption Of
which he enforced by speech Of considerable
length. He deprecated any desire to produce
discord in the proceedings Of the Convention,
and had, very properly, presented his resolu-

his duty. They were laid on the table.

itself 70 the Judgment OF statesman Tor any
such discrimination. There is sound and suf-
ficient ground Of distinction between citizens
in fact or in intention, and aliens who do not
design TO become citizens, but no reason at all
for any such distinction among immigrants
who do intend to become citizens The section,
as it stands, draws a line between immigrants
already arrived and immigrants to arrive here
after Those who arrive today are to have
the benefit Of the act those who arrive to-
morrow, If the bill in the mean time should be-
come law, will DO excluded from it's benefit.
Can anybody assign q sensible reason for such
discrimination between (f may be allowed
TO coin phrase) the ante-venients and the
post venients.
Sir, the principle for which contend now,
OF non.discrimination between d 'fferent classes
of immigrants intending to become citizens,
was sanctioned in the recent Kansas and Me-
braska act | congratulated the country at
the time upon the recognition OF the right of
all such immigrants, without distinction, to the
elective franchise / was glad to witness that
breaking down Of old prejudices against immi-
grants coming into this country, which led to
nearly unanimous vote in this Chamber in
favor Of retaining the CLAUSE which allowed
them TO vote in the Territories. That vote
recognised no such narrow and il6beral dis
elimination as this bill now makes. 1t went
upon sound reason. IL allowed all to vote
after declaration of intcntion, and taking the
oath prescribed by the act. II excluded mono,
whether arrived before or after the passage Of
the act. Il made no distinction between those
who might, and those who might moi, exercise
the right Of suffrage, except the distinction be-
tween those who should manifest disposition
70 become citizens, and a readiness to qualify
themselves for the exercise of the elective fran
chiso, under the provisions Of the act and those
who might not be ready to become citizens, or
