In Virginia, on the contrary, the American
party at their State Convention, as will be

Hon. A. II. Il. Stuart, President Fillmore's Sc
,cretasy ofthe Interior, presented clean bill
for the positive election of Mr.. Fillmore by
majority OF eleven Of the whole electoral vote
Of the Union giving him the following States,
70 wit Massachusetts, Rhode leland, New
Yors, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Louisi-
ana, Missouri. fbere he begins to scatter,) Cali
fernia, Delaware, Texas and Florida. The
strangest part of all is, in speaking for the
American party OF Virginia at thdr State Con-
vention, that Mr.. Stuart should have left out
.'the Old Dominion" from his catalogue. Per-
hsps, however, had he ventured 90 far, his
listeners would have had their migivings con-
corning New York and Pennsylvania. Good
rule, that in travelling doubtful road to halt

Lastly, in behalf of the anti.shvery terrific

Judge Mclean, OF Ohio, Zone d the Justices
OF the Supreme Court OF the United States) to
Gen. Cas-, defining the Judge'sposition on the
question of slayery in the Territories. The
decree of the learned Judge amounts to this
First, That free dom lie the natural condition Of

That the territorial governments, being subject
to Congress, cannot do that which their master
he's no power to do. Fourth, That Congress,
on the other hand, may as police regulation
interdict the introduction of slavery into any
Territory. This opinion of the srudite Judge
is almost % unanswerable as the statement OF
the case of the Kentucky LAWYER, who said,
When my client borrowed the IRON pot afore.
said it had hole in it when she returned the
pot it was sound; and thirdly, may it please
the court, she never had the pot at ALL" We,
therefore, turn Judge Mclean over to the Phi

haps they may think his letter broad enough
and strong enough for their nomination per

He felt it his duty, untrammeled as he now
was by party ties or fealty to any candidate
for the Presidency, to present q proposition
for peace and in this work he invoked the
aid of the experienced and rejecting mem
bers of the Senate. lie pointed out briefly
his objections to tho bills Of Mr. Douglas aud
Mr.. Seward, and expressed his opposition to
any measure for the early admission of Kan
sas into tho Union es State. So far from
such step quoting tho country, it would
only have the tendency of increasing existing
evils. He said that, coming from q State
partly slavehOlding and always conservative
and true to the Union, he felt that he might
with propriety interpose measure Of peace
and Cancellation. He offered it with the hope
that it might be met in a spirit of candor and
patriotism, and be the means OF dispensing the
darkest clouds that have ever lowered over
this happy country.
The bill was ordered to be printed
Mr.. Adams, of Miss then addressed the
Senate at some length in support of his bill to
amend the naturalization laws so as to extend
the term Of probation Of an alien to twenty
one years Mr.. A. quoted some passages from
the views of the old statesmen Of the country
at the formation Of the Government and of
eminent men since that day, including Mr.
Buchanan, and presented statistics, bearing
upon the present condition of the country, to
show that by the infusion of foreigners the
most serious results might be apprehended to
our republican institutions. No vote was
taken upon the bill, and the Senate adjourned
to Thursday.
