,,..- ~.ho, H.mry clay said of the Espabliea'
Princi iples.

Hear what Henry clay said of the Hspso"ess
principles.
The leading doctrines of the Republican party
NAV be summed up follows
/ No extension of Slavery North OF South OF
$3.50.
. An uucompromisng reputation that Sis'
very is lawful wherever the Constitution Is opera
:ive.
3. No recognition Of he doctrine that slaves
cun be. even for an hour, held as slaves, IN the
Free States.
These positions are called Z" reasonable" fo'
holding them, Republicans are denounced as
"trai,orous Aboitionists." But they are mol
original with the Republican party They were
long ago maintained By Daniel Webster ana Hen
~ CLAW. In regard to the latter, We quote some
recent declarations of Henry Clay, none OF them
earlier than 1850, which ar, copied from cotton
Last Seven Years Of the life OF that eminen'
man -

And as he would not vote to spread the system
neither did he believe that it had right to ex-
tend itself over Territories that were free, not
even when those Territories happened to lie South
OF that line.

II had not heard that opinion avowed, should
have regarded it as ONE OF THE MOST ExrRAoR
BINARY ASSUMPTIONS, AND THE MOST INDEfRNslBLs
POSITIONS, that was ever taken by man."
What do the admirers of Henry Clay think OF
that language, or of this which follows: -
"If slaves are voluntarily carried into such q
jurisdiction, (where Slavery does not exist by local.
State law,) THEIR CHAINS INSTANTLY DROP OFF, AND
THEY BECOME FREE, EMAScIPArED, LIBERATED FROM
THEIR BONDAGE"
The utterance of those words in Kansas would
have subjected him to two years Imprisonment al
hard labor, with huge chain and an iron ball
attached TO his limbs

MINNESOTA GoISc EAsr!--We received call
yesterday from Mr.. WhiteGeld, of Nex York,
who has been spending some weeks in different
parts Of our Territory, taking views Of our ints-
rior towns, beautiful lakes, meandering rivers,
matchless water-fails. and charming landscapes,
for exhibition in the East. He intends to lecture
throughout New England and the Middle States
the coming Winter, accompanying and illustra-
ting his History of Minnesota by the magnificent
paintings he has wrought during his speedy tran
sit. Not all of his auditors will believe, we fear,
that these truthfully eloquent sketches represent
accurately our country--but we assure them they
are faithful to the life; We hare scenery that

Gerritt Smith on Know Nothfnkis;Yi!

On this subject Gerritt Smith has the following
pointed aud conclusive remarks;
All, therefore, that would ask of the foreig-
ner to entitle him to vote in America is sufficient
evidence, that he has made America his home
His solemn declaration to this effect il coupled
with no more than years residence among lis,
is sufficient.
But shall. be told that the foreigner cannot
learn 10 vote right, until he has lived among us
twenty-one years--or, ut the very least fiv5
years, 1t does not, however, lie in the mouth
of our native-born citizens to tell me SO, seeing
that foreigners vote quite as properly as they
10. The mass of our native-born citizens are
ever ready to vote for profane swearers and
rum-drinkers and rum-seers and demagogues
and shareholders and really do not zee how
foreigners can we'll do worse. The truth is, this
c'amor against tho ignorant and corrupt voting
of foreigners is the verest aflectation, that ever
was Do they not vote for the same men we
vote for Are they any more ready TO vote for
bad men than we are And when the day shall
come (Ieaven speed it y that our native-bOru
citizens shall vote for none but sober, honest,
pure minded men, will not foreigners be found
lust rs ready to vote with them then, is they
are to vote with them now The disease in the
body polite, of which nativeborn citizens
complain, is emphatically in themselves. "Phy-
stefan, heal thyselff" Let out natives vote
right and foreigners will vote right.

The advantages presented in the preceding
impress every visitor to the State and have ID
duced greatly the improvements we have sim
ply glanced at. The Chairman of the Board of
Trade of the Chamber Of Commerce of Clncin-
natl, visited this State last summer. We khow
the writer and no man is better qualified hv
travel, reading and observation to give correct
opinion than he. The following extract from n
letter written during summer tour will ex-
hbbt his opinion of the present, and from ii
we may deduee future greatness of the state.
A Correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, of
the 9th of August, 1855, says:
"One popularity, wherever travelled in Wis.
consin, struck me forcibly. viz: the apparent
high degree of culture, cleanliness and thrift
ness of the farms. There is not half so much to
remind one OF a ne,c country as there is IN Ohio
and Indiana, and this is attributable ehiefy 20
the fact that almost every quarter section, in its
natural state, is ready for blowing and fencing
without the labor Of telling trees enough to bur-
den the navy of the world and partly to the
fact that the class of settlers of-shoots FROM
the hardy and industrious sons of New Eng-
land or the farmers of Western New York and
Northern Ohio. Fifty gears tabor in N. Eng
land, or ttcenty gears toll IN Ohio, are not equal
in their results to flee industrious years In Ills
eonsi1. H."
Here is told in plain simple and concise Ian;
guage, facts that could not be more forcibly or
truthfully dclineated in column, and are the
observations of man whose opportunities and
capabilities for judging, are equal to any mat,
in the Union
The Legislature of our State have fixed the
rate of interest by contract at IL per cent, and
have repealed all laws FORGETTING tho principal if
interest beyond this sum be agreed on. Our
laws now, whilst fixing the rate at ~ per cent,
require n tender of the principal, before a suit
can be brought TO recover any excessi giving a
freedom to the value of money, unknown in any
other State in the Union We doubt not this
will bring the surplus capital of other States ~
ours, and will aid in developing our valuable

NEW YORK LEGISLATURE.-The New York
Legislature has adjourned in Stampede, with
out passing the appropriation or supply bills, OF
exchanging the usual messages of courtesy with
the Executive.
A number of the members of the Legislature

The following is portion of his reply:
1T is not the province of the Executive to
review the proceedings of the Legislature. The
duties which the Constitution has assigned him
of calling their attention to the general welfare
of the State, he has endeavoled by his Messages

FEARFUL MORTALITY IN SOUTHERN RUSSIA

FEARFUL MORTALITY IN SOUTHERN RUSSIA
A correspondent of the AUSTRIAN Gazette state
and report is confirmed by similar statement
in other German papers-that typhus fever is
making terrible havoc in southern Russia
Among the troops and militia stationed in Odessa
and vicinity it RACES with frightful mortality,
and is spreading among the population to such
an extent that all the hospitals and many pri-
vate dwellings, are filled with the sick, of whom q
vast number die daily. More than twenty thou
sand sellers are in the hospitals, and thousand
have already died Among the Ictims there
were in one week twelve army surgeons and
four physicians, of whom two were Americans,
who had made PREPARATION to return home. In
the city proper some fifteen hundred families are
plunged into the deepest poverty, and commit
tees have been appointed to supply them with
food clothing and fuel: even among the better
classes great distress prevails; and the desire for
peace is universal. Not only in Odessa is it SO,
but southern Russia, in the vicinity of the seat OF
war, is decimated by this frighful scourge.-
Baktschiserai, Simpheropo, Cherson' and par
ticularly Nicolaictf, are almost depopulated.-
Bessaraba is likewise threatened with vista
ton of the disease. The number of victims up
TO the latest dates was estimated at not less
than 100, 600,

The Coral.

}. W. b.
ave know not millionth part Of the wonder: Of ,
,eauti full world."--Leigh Hunt.
There's living atom in the sea,
That weaves fiinty spell,
For itself, lasting shroud to be,
And home in which to dwell
In the briny waste OF ocean waves,
1t builds its coral home,
And mccks at the beating surge, that leaves
Its dreary abode with foam.
There-there in deep cerulean gloom,
Unnumbered myriad swarms,
Are forming a coral home and tomo-
shield to their insect forms;
And the rocky sepulchres made fast,
The leagues thus covered DER,
They uprear a Mausoleum vast,
On the Oceans sandy floor.
Meath the shallow waves of tn inland sea,
Where gentler waters flow,
As bright as flowers on the upland lea,
The branches Of coral grow
And dredgcd from their watery element,
And wrought with skful care
To beauty's bower their hues are sent,
To deck the forms Of the fair.
But coral rocks of the tropic cline,
Built up mid the ocean rave,
And formed of the oceans briny slime,
For the coraPs home and grave;
How mean would the grandest works compare,
That pride of man form,
With the mighty power in progress there,
The skill Of the insect worm.
IT'S wondrous work to mortal eyes,
And oceans waves can tell,
OF spreading climes that yet will arise
From the corars rocky shell;
On their shores the winds and waves will f;aK
The wealth OF other lands,
And in time to come their harvesting
Will be reaped by mortal hands.
