NEBRASKA IN THE HOUSE

The editor Of the New York Express thinks
that the Nebraska bill will pass the House of
Representatives by about 80 majority. He
says, however. that MIR. Clayton has caused
to be engrafted upon the bill one principle,
which may be its warrant; and that is
that foreign emigrants, who go into the terri
tories of Kansas and Nebraska cannot vote,
until they are naturalized, which excludes
them from all voice in forming the organic
law of the territories. The Express says there
is no doubt that Mr.. Clayton introduced this
provision for mischief to produce aversion
to the bill among the Northern Democracy
in the House, who are expected to pass it.
We observe that Mr.. Clayton, after achieving
this dexterous feat, did not vote upon the
passage of the BILL
