words were found in the Declaration of In

Europe 20 the very centre. King George.
while he was young undertook to whip him

forces. and took Is much land as be wanted
Sam married an American woman called
Constitution. and has had by her thirty-oae
sons and daughters, all of whom are now
living and occupying land from the Atlantic
to the Pacific ocean. Constitution has Eve

family. however, are peculiar. They all

republican milk. and obey their mother
Sam protects his family by throwing around
them great flag, glittering with stars and
red with the blood Of the martyrs of liberty.
Sam and his family are now the greatest peo-
pie on BE face Of the earth. Sam, like other
men Of large families has his troubies-

cause the southern bows own 'niggers.' Sam
says to them-'We must have cotton we

the old man, and look Constitution in the
face, and agree to have 10 further quarrel

his plantations who do1't Ike and don't
understand his republican ways, that he Is
afraid that some day they viii pull 6oan

During the last Congress, says the No.
bile Advertiser. and while the Nebraska
Kansas bill was under discussion in the
Senate. Mr. Clayton moved to amend the
bill, 50 that. the right Of suffrage and of hold
ing ofice in those territories, should be ex-
ercised only by citizens Of the United States.
This was most reasonable amendment. for
certainly it would seem to be moassronsly
absurd that foreigners, unnaturalized for
eIgners, Not owing unqualified allegiance at
al 10 any power in the country, should,
be allowed to make by their votes the laws
and institutions of our territories and fll
the Offices therein.
The Clayton amendment passed the Sen

eigners would enable class of men, almost
universally abolitionists. to have vote in
deciding whether slavery should OF should

why did Southern Democratic Senators,
who profess 10 love them so much, vote for
Clayton's amendment? d? Their efforts now
TO make party-capital of the foreigner, after
that vote, look very bad indeed Their
