THE NATIONAL ERA: WASHINGTON, c, NOVEMBER CO.

The people who knew him best chose him as
their Representative in the Legislature, where
every trust was so well fulfilled, that he was
soon invited to the higher dignity of seat in
the Senate of the United States. He entered
that body twenty seven years ago-a body then
illustrious in its array of great names-at thir-
ty-three years of age. Here, what may be call
ed his public career, begun and here, as a
public man, after a lapse of more than quar-
ter of a century, standing alone of those with
whom he commenced, was this career fttingly
and creditably closed. His position in the Sem
ate was commanding from the outset; and his
first important part was played side by side
with Mr.. Clay-who gratefully and proudly &C.
knowledged the value of the service-in the
Compromise of 1888. That event brought them
into close contact, and the sharing of unlimited
mutual confidence. Obedient to the impulses
of two large and generous souls, their political
sympathies became identified, their fortunes
in manner united until both were recognised
rs the two great leaders of that gallant Wing
party, which 80 long and periodically battled
for the true principles Of the Constitution and
Union.
Having served eight continuous years, Mr..
Clayton retired from the Senate in 1887, but
was reelected in l845, and remained there I'M
til l849, when he was solicited by General Tay-
lor to accept the othce OF Secretary OF State.
Upon the death of the President, in July, 1850,
at the first interview with Mr.. Fillmore, he
placed letter of unconditional resignation in
his hands and, after enlightening Mr.. Webster
in regard to the posture of the foreign affairs,
retired from Washington, intending to renounce
public life forever. This purpose was only re-
linquished at the urgent appeals of his old con-
stituents, and he was third time returned to
the Senate, with the advent of the present Ad-
ministration, his term expiring on the 4th of
March, 1859.

We need not take from the Compendium q,
the Census from which we extract these e.,
ures) tables showing the vast superiority of the
non-slaveholding States in wealth and genera
intelligence. Everybody knows it.
But, we have used the term, "Southern man
and Shareholders" The Northern mem wbo
have filled Offices in the General Goverrfmep,
have been taken unfortunately from an
classes-agricultursl, mechanical, manufactur.
ing, mercsntile-and from all professionalism,
representing the opinions and interests of an
the People of the free States. But, not SO with
Southern men. In nearly all cases, thew have
belonged to one class, represented the views
the policy, the interest, of one class, and that
not embracing the majority of the Southern
People. They have been shareholders, and the
class to which they have belonged, numbered
in 1850, according to the Census, 347.OOO
Now, suppose that each one of these stand for
six white persons-relations and dependents W.
have the Federal Government controlled in ali
its departments by a class numbering. all told
2,O82, 900, or one third of the whole white non.
ulation of the South.
1t follows, therefore, that class of persops
living chiefly in one section of the Union, idep.
titled with an Interest, peculiar, domineering.
and aggressive, numbering about two millions,
has given to a nation which numbered in 1850
nearly twenty millions of free white persons.
seventeen millions and half of whom have
vast interests which are subordinated and in
many cases impaired by that one Interest. two
thirds of its Presidents, nearly all of its Presi
dents pro tenn. of the Senate, two thirds Of its
Speakers of the House, nearly two thirds of its
Secretaries of State and its Attorney Generals.
and majority of its Supreme Court, besides
debating in most instances the organization of
the Standing Committees in both Houses Of
Congress. And yet, this small sectional Glass,
with its one Idea, and its one Interest, has the
audacity to assume to be the South, aud to
raise a perpetual clamor against the aggres.
sions of the North!

NO LOGIC FOR NORTHERN "HoGs"-WHAT
FRIGHTENED THEM.

The Southside (Va) Democrat, of November
18th, another leading supporter OF Mr.. Buchanan,
reprinting the Delta article, improves upon i,
as follows:
We transfer to our columns this morning a
striking article from the New Orleans Della.
written in anticipation of Mr.. Buchanan's cleo.
ton. The Delta is an independent journal
attached to no party organization, and, by the
way, conducted with vigor, earnestness,
and an elevation of tone, that ought to com
msnd for it a high position with the Southern
people. 1t has been one of the ablest pioneers
In the great work of srousing the South to a
sense not only of her wrongs, but of her indie
pendence, and has aided greatly in promoting
that stern determination to resist farther ag-
gression by the North, now so rife and all per-
vasive in the Southern heart.
In the article we quote, the Delta maintains.
with correctness, that to the Resistance Party
at the South is due to a great extent the ire
mendous popular revolution at the North which
has beaten down Fremont, and borne Mr.. Blu
chsnsn into the Presidency.
The first movement in this direction was. as
we stated day or two since, the extraordinary
message of President Pierce to the present
Congress, in which for the first time that it ever
has been done before from his high Office, he
defined distinctly and perfectly the relation
sustained by Slavery to the Government. But
this was great argument. 1t addressed itself
to the intellect of the North. 1t sowed sound
seed into the thinking mind. 1t started reac-
ton in the head of the North. 1t furnished
the broad foundations for all of those msgni6-
cent stirring, and constitutional appeals that
have SO illustrated the late canvass in the
Northern States. And in all this it did great
service, and entitled its author to the lasting
gratitude of the lovers of constitutional
Union.
But the impassioned, Infatuated, bone, girls
tie, and muscle, the fanatioized physical de-

THE INTRODUCTION OF SLAVERY INTO CEN
TRIAL AMERICA-A PRE-CONCERTED PLOT.
From the New Orleans Debts

We have more than once referred to the ne
cessty of introducing Slavery into Nicaragua,
as the only means by which Walker and his
followers could consolidate and perpetuate their
new republic, because, from the nature of its
climate and products, the Ango-Ame set
tiers were unable to cultivate the soil proftaby
themselves, and the native mongrel inhabitants
were almost totally worthless aud inefficient as
free laborers. We also alluded to significant
assurances zoe had received from authorised
sources, that Walker designed, as soon as hs
could prudentty do so, TO publicly legalise Sla-
Gerry pithin has dOminions, and inrne sldcehold-
ers TO emigrate Mither pith their slares. We
kneac some ceeks since that decree to this eff
feet had been draacn up, and zoe no,c learn that

We confidently pronounce it the wisest most

rincibLe army, cain his reconstruction of Gorer n
naent and reformation of commerce; pittout an
efficient td6or-systen, as basis. all must sooner
or later hare faded a,cay like the unsubstantial
fabric Of a rision. Numbers of shareholders
have already written to us to know if they could
safely take their slaves into Nicaragua, to cul
tivate sugar, coffee, rice, indigo, or chocolate
plantations, as the case might be. We have
always assured our correspondents that though
slaves were not recognised by law in Nicaragua,
we have no doubt they would be secured to their
owners during Walkers administration, and
that ultimately Slavery would have an existence
| there of law we'll as fact They will now find
that our confidence in Walkers sagacity and
craftsmanship was not misplaced. He did not
fail to see the necessity which we early pointed
out, and, like bold statesman, he now responds
to its demand.
There is another step further along, however,
more difficult, it may be, but scarcely less i'm
portant as a prime auxiliary in making the first
effective-that is, opening Nicaragua to the
African slave trade. We have not time here to
| elaborate, but glance at the statistics of Sla-
very will show the great importance of the meas
ure. Labor is in too great demand in our South
ern States to allow many to be withdrawn for
Nicaragua; the Coolie trade, devised by Brit
ish policy, and carried on by Boston philanthro-
pists, is too hypocritical, too treacherous and
inhuman, for the civiizers of Central America
to think of for q moment; and, therefore, the
African slave trade and African Slavery, con-
Quoted on humane principles, and regulated by
law, must have the preference over every other
form of compulsory labor.

DEATH OF JOHN N. CLAYTON.

Our friend, John M. Clayton, died at Do
yer last evening, (Sunday,) at seven o'clock"
Mr.. Clayton was but little more than sixty
years old at the time of his death, having been
born on the Oath of July, 1896. The State of
Delaware gave him birth, he was educated I'm.
der its honest institutions, and he imbibed ear
ly In life that veneration and love for its his.
toric virtue, which he always manfully defended
and illustrated in the forum, in the Senate
House, and wherever else duty demanded the
championship. Called to the bar in young
manhood, he at once took that station of dis
tinction in the profession, which has since been
universally conceded as his peculiar merit The
law was his study, his ambition, his pleasure,
and his pride. Mastering its comprehensive
principles as the true foundation of fame and
success, he also possessed himself of those SUBJ
tie complexities and nice distinctions which
give strength and efficiency to the great advo-
cate. There were few who equalled him in
this sphere, and none who excelled him, such
was his keen appreciation of difficult situation,
his power of logical argument, and wonderful
responsiveness OF eloquent speech.

If such tariff is not conceded to us, why
should South Carolina, or any other Southern
State, any longer keep Representatives in Cog
gress? Even if we are not prepared to seceCe
from the Union, why sanction, by our represer4-
alton, the acts of our oppressors, and swell tie
pomp and minister to the power of the General
Government? The withdrawal of the Repr =
sentatives of the State from Congress will ens-
BILE them to be of more use, in two years, than
by fifty years of service at Washington under
the present condition of the Union.
The States, in their sovereign capacity, adopt
ed the Constitution, and by their action alore
can any new guarantees be inserted into it. Ore
or more of the Southern States can test or
true condition, by proposing to amend the CO J.
stitution by such new securities as our safe y
and liberties require. If the Northern Stats
accept of them, then the Union will be worth
preserving. If they reject them, let the UnE n
be dissolped.
