The Devotion of FOREIGNERS.

During a debate in the United States Senate
week before last, on the Homestead Bill, Gen
Shields, in answer to question put by Nj
Mallory, (says the Valley Spirit, stated that a
majority Of the men in the regular army, dur
ing the war with Mexico. were foreigners And
Mr. Butler, of South Carolina who opposed
granting foreigners the same privileges under
the bin as Americans, candidly said that ''the
truth of history required him to state that when
the officers OF the Palmetto regiment were all
shot down at ChUrubusco, tie flag Of the re-
ginsent aras tied around tie body gf'a gallant
IrishBsGn and iras thus carried on through the
battle to rictory."
Is there a genuine American living who
restrict the privileges ofany man, no matter
where he was born. who fought in the ranks of
our army in Mexico Never did brayer, tru-
er band than the handful Of regulars we sent to
Mexico, 90 to battle; and yet majority ofthem
come under the ban of Know Nothingisu, the
new adjunct of Whiggery. Even the gallant
Irishman who tied the American flag round his
BODY and carried it before the enemy, would
not lie permitted BY Know Nothingism to share
all the privileges of an American citizen
Gen. Scott stated, during the late Presiden-
tial campaign, that foreigners had followed him
to eyerv battlefield on which he had fought,
iiI.,i that he never led Drawer men into action
The great Washington also leaned on the arms
OF foreigners when he battleI for his country's
independence, and the patriotism Of a foreigner
enabled him to capture the Hessians at Tren
ton, an event which electrified and inspired the
whole country We present an extract from a
letter written by Washington 10 Robert Nor
ris:
MY army is encamped on the Delaware, op-
poste Trenton, where our foes are concentrated;
our wants are great $40, 900 is necessary to
gain the proper information and place me in
a position to justify an offensive movement a
gainst the enemy to you Robert Morris. can |
only'look for assistance"
And Robert Morris, who was notborn in this
country. rendered that assistance! On has o'ca
note he borrowed the sum asked for by the
s.Father of his country" and the victory of
Trenton speedily followed. If Robert Morris
were now living in the city in which he borrow
ed ten thousand dollars to enable Washington
to capture the Hessians at Trenton, the Wing
and Know Nothing Mayor of that city would
not appoint him Policeman. Indeed, there
must have been Know Nothings there at the
close of the Revolution; for after Morris had
bankrupted himself to save America from the
British yoke, he was Imprisoned for debit
the names of the persons who oppressed him al
ter he had saved them from oppression could be
obtained, they ought to be enrolled as honorary
members of every Know-Nothing association.
They are entitled to rank as PatrIarchs OF the

AMinigterial scoundrel.

The Pottsville papers inform us that the preacher
IN chargeof the Fir st Methodist Church III that cfty,

exposing his person to two young girls; and that
he was compelled 10 leave the city IN order TO
cane summary punishment. He IS an English

friends they have been provided with means TO

no sympathy with the spirit that exhibits the

happens. like ourselves, to be Protestant. Tell

DOUGLAS AT HOME.

Some two weeks ago Chicago held numerous
and enthusiastic meeting, and condemned Douglas
and his bill. To counteract it, an opposition meet
ing was called OF this meeting tine Now York

count:

Isaac Cook our Postmaster, who, by the way was
the only Government officer here who faces the bill
and supports Douglas openly. The meeting was
held on Saturday night.
The Committee reported resolutions, supporting
the Douglas coup d'cidt, which were advocated 10y
Mr. Harvie and certain others. During the pro
grcss of the meeting il was frequently announced
by the managers that it was a free discussion. Ar
cordingly after all the ink and wisdom Of its get

L. G. Larned the Hon. +. {. Sherman and tho
Hon James Curtis--the first Free Soiler, the two

opposition to the resolutions. The speech of the

OR THE
Perils of Navigation.

The advantages of this contract need scarcely
be urged upon wealthy men or merchants, for they
rarely neglect it, and if they do, fires leave them
other resources. 1t is especially valuable TO la
boring men, mechanics, and others of moderate
means-who, perhaps have little else than home
and its contents in the world.
These should never eglect to insure;a fire which
may visit them at any hour, would leave them
homeless, and with no capital but their labor, to
begin again the struggle of life, and years of toll
and watching must pass before they can regain
what they have lost, if indeed it is ever DONE
To such, insurance is duty. If the individual
is worth little, the expense is less; if he owns
much property still the expense istrifing, and by
investing few dollars he is safe. If he is over
taken by misfortune, and his all laid in ashes, he
receives a recompense in a cash capital equal TO
his loss, and may soon restore what has been de-
stroyed.

The Rights Of Neutrals.

Russian PRoDUCE IN NEUTRAL SHIPS.
The following reply, from Lord Caren-
don, has been received al the Baltic Coffee
House, by the deputation Of Russia mer-
chants which waited upon his lordship, OIL
the subject OF Russian produce in neutral
ships, on the Goth inst
SlR-I am directed by the Earl of Car-
endon 10 state TO you that since his lordship
had the pleasure Of seeing, on the 10Th inst,
the dcPutation of merchants connected with
the trade with Russia, his lordship has fur
Their considered the questions put TO him by
the deputation, whether Russian produce
brought over the frontier by land, and ship
ped from thence by British or neutral YES
sells, will be subject to seizure by her
Maiesty's cruisers, and TO subsequent con-
iscation in the High Court of Admiralty.
Lord Clarendon conceives that the ques-
ton will turn upon the true ownership, or
the interest, or risk in, and the destination
Of, the property which may be seized or
captured and that neither the place of its
origin nor the manner oil its conveyance to
the port from whence it was shipped, will
be decisive, or even. in most cases, of any
real importance.
Such property, if shipped at neutral risk,
or after il has become bona tide neutral
property, will not be liable to condemnation,
whatever may be its destination. Ii il
should still remain enemy's property, not
withstanding it is shipped from neutral
port, and in a neutral ship, it will be ccn-
demned. whatever may lie its destination.
If il be British property or slipped at British
risk, it will be condemned, il it is proved
TO be really engaged in a trade with the
enemy, but not Otherwise. The place of
It's origin will be immaterial, and if there

liable to condemnation, notwithstanding they
may have come to that neutral market from
the enemies country, either overland or by
sea. Lord Clarendon has, however, to OBJ
serve, that circumstances of reasonable sus.
picion will justify capture, although release
and not condemnation, may follow; and that
ships with cargoes Of Russian produce may
not improbably be considered, under GER
tain circumstances, as liable to capture. even
though not liable to condemnation.
