On Tuesday last we noticed the fact that the
Patriot had published what it stated was an
extract from the speech OF the II n. q. Q. Clay,
of Aiabsma, delivered in the Senate of the
United States on the 2lst of February, 1851,
mighty euogstc of Mr. Fillmore and his ad
ministration, when in fact Mr.. Clay was not
member of that body. The Patriot has not
yet corrected this inexousable blunder on its
part Union and American.
Immediately upon reading your article
of Tuesday, we investigated the facts Of
the case, and wrote an article stating that
We had republished the extract in question
from a city contemporary, who copied it
nearly two months since from the Mobile
AdUertiser. The article was placed in our
copy drawer" and We were not aware, un-
I'll we saw the Union and american of yes
terday, that it had been inadvertently
omitted from the Patriots columns. If
our neighbors had evinced knowledge of
the facts, and corrected the error when it
FIRST appeared here, they might with some
show Of justice, have termed it an "inex-
cusable blunder" on our part to republish

= Mr.. Fremont was elected to the United
States Senate December 20, 1849. His term
expired March 4, 1851. But California was
not admitted into the Union till September,
1850, when Mr.. Fremont took his seat in the
Senate. Less than three weeks after, Congress
adjourned, and Mr.. Fremont returned to Cali
fornia, where he was SO busily engaged in ef-
forts to secure reelection to the Senate, that
he did not return to Washington during the
winter Of 1S50-'5l, and consequently his actual
service in the Senate was limited to the last
eighteen days Of September, 1s4s. That is the
sum total Of his legislative career, during which,
be it observed, he uniformly voted with the
South on all questions pertaining to the sub
ect Of slavery in the Territories or the District
of Columbia.

Hon. John C. Breckinridge's Trucking to
F0re1Unora.

The political career of this gentleman has been
quite short yet there are many portions Of 1t which
we cannot approve but on the contrary must con-
denim as so un-American that they forfeit all claim
he may have ever had to the support of those
who love America and the American people better
than foreign lands abroad or foreign votes at home.
Mr.. Breckenridge was Representative from Ken
lucky in the Thirty-thrd Congress- During that
Congress bill passed the House Of Representa-
lives granting q homestead IF one hundred and
sixty acres Of the public lands to actual settlers
The vote stood:
Yeas l07; nays IT, In the affirmative appears
the name of John @. Breckinridge. The sixth
section Of that bill reads AZ follows:
"That if any free white person (who Is the head
of family, or 81 years of age) now q resident OF
any one Of the States or Territories and not citi
zen of the United States but at the time of making
such application for the benefit of this act shall
have fled declaration of intention, as required
by the naturalization laws Of the United States, and
shall become citizen of the same before the issu-
ance of the patent, as made and provided for in
this act shall be placed upon equal footing with
the native-born citizen of the United States"
From the reading of the above provision It will
eigner who simply resided in the United States ut
the passage of the act, and who would 20 through
the easy formula of taking oath Of intention to
become citizen previous TO his application for the
benefit of the act upon the same footing, precise
ly, with every native-born citizen Of the United
States Thus the public lands acquired by the CON-
mon blood and common treasure of the citizens OF
the United States were proposed to be wantonly
distributed amongst men who had not become citi-
zens. and were not compelled to become citizens,
In order to reap all the benefits of this act.
They could take simple oath of intention to be-
come citizens, and then Immediately enter upon
and occupy one hundred and sixty acres of the
public lands, and remain In its occupancy, with
out ever swearing to support the Constitution Of
the United States. This is monstrous feature to
be incorporated into an American law, passed by
American legislators. 1t strikes down every dis
junction between native and foreign pcrsons-dis-
tictions which must and ought, in the very nature
Of thfngs, to exist and which do exist in the Con
stitution Of the United States itself

General John A. Dir, Of New YoSk.
We have been permitted TO read q portion Of
4 letter from General Dix TO gentleman In this
city, In which he assures his correspondents that
the Cincinnati nominations are wen received IN
all parts of the State, and that the differences
heretofore existing In the Democratic party are
being effectually healed This insures Demo
cratic triumph in that State. General Dix an
nounces his intention Of taking the field at an
early day and addressing the electors in the differ
emit counties He Is personally popular man, and
Is very pleasing and effective speaker. his ad-
DIR esses will produce salutary effect, as they did
In 1852. The Democracy in New York being uni
ted, they are sure to achieve signal victory
Unios
General Dix is well-known as prominent
member of the Free-soil party, and as an adyo-
cate of the Wilmot Proviso. In accordance
with the ayowed policy of the present admins
tration, Gen. Pierce, soon after his election,
rendered to Gen. Dix the Mission to France.
After the Inauguration in March, 1853, Gen.
Dix came to Washington with the expectation
that bis nomination as Minister to France would
be Immediately sent in to the Senate. But
General Pierce excused himself from the full
filment of his promise to General Dix, on the
pretence that it was first necessary to concili-
ate Senators Mason and Hunter, and other
prominent Democrats.
He therefore suggested to General Dix that
he should accept the place of Sub Treasurer in
New York, us temporary appointment which
he could resign when he (Gen. PIERCE could
arrange the matter Of the French mission.
But the French mission was given to John
Y Mason of Virginia, and General Dix threw
up the Sub-Treasuryship in disgust and went
to France on his own private account.
Now, we are informed by the Union that
his addresses will produce as salutary effect
as they did in 1852"
We infer, therefore, that Gen. Dix, the old
leader of the Free-soil party in New York, who
canvassed that State for Van Buren, and Adams
In 1848, intends to make an effort to induce
his old Free soil friends to vote for Buchanan
on the ground that Buchanan is better friend
of free-soil than Fremont We cannot well see
how he is to produce " salutary effect" in any
other mode.
