Hon. JOHN M. CLAYTON AND THE KNOW
NoTnINGs.-According to the correspondence
on the subject, which we publish to day, the
Hon. John NJ. Clay ton, Of Delaware, is Know
Nothing. We thought as much when he was
the Premier Of Gen. Taylor, and frequently
said so; but now we know it. He declares
over his own sign-manual that he is Know
Nothing-a hide-bound native American Of the
old school initiated into the new. But he says
he is not candidate for the Presidency, never
has been, never wanted to be, never would be,
and never will-not he. And yet his letter
looks very much like bold bid, in o modest
way, for the "sweet voices" of the Know No
things In 1856. Alas for that erich Irish
brogue with the illigant German accent" All
gone. No more TIE Deums by the whig old
fogies to the blessed Saint Patrick; no more
hbations Of lager bier. w. II. Seward has sue
ceeded in abolitionizing the wing party of New
York; and now it appears that John NJ
Clay ton is in a fair way OF transferring the
State Of Delaware to the Know NothiDgs
Still, 1t is likely that both Seward and Clay ton
will fall short. The one falls back at the quar-
ter stretch, and the other is short-winded, but
may win. We shall have rare sport by-and-5y

ANNEXATION or SAMASA.-Rumor has it that
Mr.. and Mrs. Cazeneau have succeeded in their
mission TO the Dominican republic. The fine
port of SANTANA, it is said, has been ceded 70
the United States. We should like to see some
moie authentic evidence of the fact before we
attach implicit credence to it; as, after all, why
should the Dominicans be in such desperate
hurry to part with their best seaport Nations
are not Ia the habit Of paying each other thess
little attentions; and We have not to our
knowledge any particular claims on the regard
of the Dominicaps. 1t seems more likely that
Mr.. and Mrs. Cazeneau have followed in the
steps Of Louis Philippe, and have obtained
from the Dominicans the same privileges as
were granted 10 that monarch.

Mr.. BELMONT AND HIS FINANCIAL SCHEMEs-
An cutlery is being set up in certain quarters
against the private speculations which, accord
ing to all accounts, are engrossing the time of
our envoy to the Hague. Several Of our jour-
nails are quite shocked at Mr.. Belmont leaving
his duties to undertake the negotiation of loan
for the Gear and gravely request the admins
tration to supersede him. What folly is this!
Mr.. Belmont, Jew broker of Wall street. is
chosen to represent the United States abroad
at the the lime of his appointment his business
was notorious, and it was quite evident that 40
long as he was foreign Minister the United
States Embassy would be converted into an
exchange Office. Again, the Cabinet which
appointed him has been far more deeply i'm
mersed in financial operations than he has
What with the Gadsden treaty, railroad appro-
priations. grants of monopolies and so forth,
the members of Mr.. Pierce's administration
have far outshone anything which Mr.. Belmont
may do in the way Of money getting and
money dealing. For them to blame him for
what they have been doing themselves all
along would be preposterous He has faith
fully followed the example of Davis, Gushing,
and the Kitchen Cabinet; and has probably
made less money out of his Russian loans than
they out Of their railroads, and land specula-
tons. They ought on the contrary to compli-
ment him on the harmony existing between his
policy and theirs and to bid him persevere in
initiating their practices.
