For the Journal
The Foreign Vote,

MEssRs. EDIroRs There has been much contro'
versy among political Journalists and others win
regard TO the conservatism of our foreign ctlzens ~
a class 1t has been cOntended by the orators ana
presses South of certain party that the great oooy
of the foreign born voters is hostile to the institution
of slavery. Now if this were well established IL
would furnish strong argument mat the peopIe u
our section should to a man unite on p0lIcy Wnlch
would Tend to discourage the immigration OF tor-
eigners We should then justly regard the natarali-
zafon of sucb persons as the introduction of much
virus into our political SYSTEM and should not only
be willing to adopt quarantine OF ttcenty one years,
as advocated by the self.styled "American" party,
but think would even subscribe to the japanese
policy of entire exclusion.
The fact is that our na,uralized citizens are III
many of the States of this Union, far more conser.
vatve body of men in regard to the institution oil
slavery than the ma oE'y of the natives. 10 prove
this | subo passage from the recent message oil
Gov Gardner of Massachusetts, Know Nothing ant
Abolitionst. Abiding to the recent Presidential
election and to the defeat of Fremont, he says:
"Whie this horde of foreign born votes has thus
stricken down nobe cause, which appealed to h'
moral sentiment and enlightened patriotism OF GU
country, it only affords another confirmation OF FAC
which our whole history establishes the tore1g'
vote ay hardly exception, GLocays has been, and n
the nature of things will and must be attached to tho
portv 1rhich under high sounding general't1es ON tn
abstract rights of man, always practically cooperate
aUith slqverv at the South, and banishes from its plat
form the moral questions and nobler instincts an
more enlightened sentiments of the age"
Here is testimony direct and ample TO establish tn
fact that the country is great extent Indebted
voters of foreign birth for The defeat of Black Repub
canism. Whilst the followers of Mr.. Fillmore wer
advocating hopeless cause CHE great issue being be
tween Fremont and Buchanan) thus wasting the re
sources demanded by the perilous condition of th
county, The voters o: foreign birth were lending the
aid 10 maintain the constitutional rights of the Sout
against the reckless and mad crusade Of Fremont all
his adherents The country has passed the ordea
and the cause of constitutional rights is trlumphan
Southern Know Nohngs admit his But have the
ever reflected, that uoers Of foreign birth had more
do m bringing about this suspicious condition {

them the consideration of the subject

MIR, Bucharan,s Cabinet.

We have no intention OF indulging in any conlec.
lures specula;ions to the probable composition
of Mr.. Buchanan's cabinet, of engag ing in any
discussion to the claims of sections or States or
of the qualifications of individuals for cabinet ap
pointments. Our object is TO express the conviction
we feel that when the cabinet is announced it will
command the public confidence, and he regarded as
indication of the wise discrimination and the
enlightened patriotism with which Mr.. Buchanan has
taken the first great step in his administration. We
believe it is generally known that one of the bjects
of his late visit to Washington was to lend willing
ear to all the suggestions and views which any of his
political friends might choose to make. We believe
that it is now still better known that he proved him
self most patient and discreet listener, whilst he
on kept his counsels but kept his mind open to
be profted by all that he mi ht hear. Our confidence
in his fitness for the responsible dgtes of his position
is greatly increased by the fact that whilst Mr. Blu.
chanan accessible TO ALL listened to ALL responded
frankly TO ALL yet that he left without having dropped
a single remark which was inconsistent with his
avowed purpose to reserve his mind uncommitted I'M
til he had acquired all the information within his
reach. We do not doubt that he has obtained the
information he desired, and the result will be the
formation OF g. cabinet which will rally TO his sup
port the cordial and united approval Of the national
men throughout the country. Speculalions as to the
indiVidusIs who may compose it naturally made,
but one can do more than speculate. We are
content await the announcement, and 10 look for it
with the most perfect that the cabinet will
be such to vindcate the wisdom of the people in
placing Mr.. Buchanan in the Executive chair.

OUTRAGEOUS TREATMENT OF A
YOUNG WIFE.-Our quiet little town
has been thrown into burst of wild ex-
citement about domestic affair of an
atrociOus nature, which transpired in
our midst. Mr.. -, 1--WE withhold his
name on account of his friends young
gentleman of fortune and family, not
long ago led to the altar one of the love
liest of her sex, and up to the time of
this most extraordinary act, they ap-
peared to live in the full enjoyment of
eonnubial bliss. The particulars are
briefly these: On Thursday morning
last, Mr.. arose at half past six A.
NJ. He dressed himself with his usual
deliberation and taste. Just as his wife
was about to robe herself in her daily
habiliments, the brutal husband seized
her hooded crown skirt and deliberately
seating himself upon it, he commenced
singing: 81 am sitting on the style, Ma
ry," &c. His wife tainted. We under
stand bis lawyers will rely on insanity
for his defense.-CyntAiana Ky Age.
