THE TRUTH COMING OFT,

The New York Courier and Enquirer is the most
consistent advocate Of the repeal OF the naturaiza-
ton laws, that we know. As far back as 1874, it
hostcd the banner Of prescription OF foreigners. 1t
now declares that Mr. Clay "pr'rntcy never hesated
to avow his hostility to the naturalization laws"-but,
according to that paper, he ovcr-rulcd by the
'demagogues" in the Whig party; and did "not take
the ground which his judgment aud feelings prompt
ed" But, says the Courier, "the demasogues i'll the
Whig ranks were too strong for u. As cousc-
uuence, the American Republicans organized as 4
distinct party with one solitary princple; and as
matter of course scattered to the four winds Of
Heaven. Even we, with all our devotion to the
cause and probably, more thoroughly impressed with
the dangers to be appreherdel from continuance Of
onr Naturalization Laws than any other person,
could not shut our eyes to such folly aud would not
give countcnsnce to such IN absurdity. We pointed
out the inevitable consequences OF IN attempt to or
gamze separate party with only one prine'pc, and
urged prompt and general fusion OF all American
Republicans with the Wing party"
The Courier then appealsto the "Amercans' to carn
wisdom from the experience of tho past and TO avoid
oe"S stranded upon tho very same rocks upon which
,a' "'efiran Republican party WINS wrecked in 1874
ar, ~ american Republicans OF 1874, we're composed
-. VI "higs and Democrats, Scccsssonis;s aud
"''u men, Aeohonis,s, Pro-Slavery mcn and Anti
''''"! n'on' Tariff men and FREQ Traders; and to
suppose II possible that such dscordaut and hostile
e'.ni''' o'u'' oA's, together in q state OF fusion
WIN OH! one solitary principle in common, was an
aosurd''y' Auo II WIS absurd then, is il not equal
ly absurd now We are among the most devoted as
NO were among the earliest and MOS, jealous adyo.
Gates Of repeal Of the Naturalization Laws, We
consider the danger from this sres, evil an ubsouts
certainty, but yet it is gradual and, because cradu
al it is more bearable preferable ii you please, 70
that which is Immediate If, then, We called up
on to decide whether will have an immediate dis.
solution OF the Union, with the most rsbid of the
bid Abolitionsts our companions asd masters or

rslizaton, with tho Naturalization Laws a. they are,

HOW SEWARD WAS ELECTED.

All the Senators who voted for Seward anI Messrs

In the House ,ai the members who voted for seward

Tho minority oi the Kmow-N NUings voted Tor Sew
I'd in 1859, and it is diril to trace their connection
with the secret order. The relations "t the members
of the House arc more puuhc. ..
II will be seen that Seward had not only majority
Of the X. Ms but that II majority ot inc votes !"r
him were of that order Those who did not vOt" Tor
Snrrrd voted for his mex; friend, Washington Hunt.

the X. ~ Legislature there was not ionna s'nS!c
X. n who objected to Seward aboli'ionisIn. The n.
y Evening Post states the fact and sories III as an
evidence Of the overwhelming an;isiavcry sentiment
of the y. Y. Legislature. "one OF the circumstances
,savs the Postl which gives character and s;snt-
cunce to the reelection Of Mr.. Seward as member
Of tho United States Senate is this-t;' in he whole
