/ During the last congress, says the Mobl
Advertiser, and while the Nebraska Kansa
hill was under discussion III the senate, MIR
/ Clayton moved to amend the bill, so that tn
right of suffrage and of holding office in those
territories, should be exercised only by cltl
zens Of the United States. This was mos
reasonable amendment, for certainly it woult
seem to be monstrously absurd that foreigners
unnaturalized foreigners, not owing unqualified
allegiance at all to any power in. He country,
should be allowed to make by their votes the
8 laws and institutions of our territories and FL
the offices therein. "a .@&8S&@ 3d.
The Clayton amendment passed the senate
by vote of twenty three to twenty one, all
the freesoilers of that body, such as Chase and
Wade of Ohio, Dodge, of Wisconsin, Fesscn-
den and Hamlin Of Maine, Foote of Vermont
and Seward of New York, voting in the mega
tive, and not solitary democratic senator from
the whole south voting with them One OF
the reasons why the freesoilers of the senate
all voted against the amendment, and the south
ern senators for it, was that the grant Of the
elective franchise and the privilege of holding
Office in Nebraska and Kansas to unnaturalis-
ed foreigners would enable class of men, al
most universally abolitonsts, tohave vote in
deciding whether slavery should or should not
go into our territories. ssf@,9 i
Why is it, then, says the Norfolk Beacon,
that we now hear southern men extolling the
patriotism and Union loving spirit Of the foreign
born! If they are 50 patriotic why did south
ern democratic senators, who profess to love
them now SO much, vote for Clayton's amend
ment? Their efforts now to make party capt.
tai off the foreigner, after that vote, look very
bad indeed! Their calm and deliberate votes
in congress, belle their declarations on the
stump. @097 #" gTa ~

The AMERICANS AND NATIONAL DEMOCRATS.
The New York Herald, speaking Of the proba-
Bile union of the national democrats Of New
York with the American party, says: .l.. 7f
s.The hards and the know nothings agree in
their opinions of the administration: they con-
cur upon the compromises Of the constitution,
and particularly, they hold the same ground
of acquiescence in the doctrines of the Kansas
Nebraska bill. They are equally opposed in
this State to Pierce, Forney, Marcy 4 Co., and
the Seward coalition; and, as junction of the
hards with the American organisation would
put the State in front rank for a new national
party against all dsorganisers, north and south,
this fusion is clearly suggested as the true poll
cy of the adamantines for our November scrub !
race. We cannot suppose that the hards are
as yet prepared to captulate to the custom
house; and apart from this alternative. thew
have only to choose between the success Of
Seward and the success of the know nothings.
If the hards prefer to expose their own weak
1ess, and to consolidate the Seward holy ALI
ance, they will stand aloof from all parties in i
November upon basis of forty or fifty thou
sand votes; but if they prefer the extinction of v
he cabinet specimen, and deadly blow to the t
seward combination, they will unite with the =
American party, and carry the State" h
The Paris correspondent of the New ork h
Times, said to be well posted, writes to that r
aper: The success of the French loan has
