VIRGINIA REQUIRING AN OATH OF
ALLEGIANCE.

Mr.. Voolfolk, of the Virginia House of Del
body, requiring sherifS or other county officers
to administer an oath of allegiance to all North
ern immigrants to the State. The proposed
oath is to support her Constitution and laws,
and defend her soil and institutions against
her enemies. A writer in the Richmond En-
quirer thinks that such an oath has become
necessary, in order to shield the State against
the insidious operations Of Northern Abolition
lists. He states that large numbers Of Northern
men are now settled in the State, that they are
coming in daily and if the State adopts practi-
cal non.intercourSe with the North, an immense
immigration of manufacturers and operatives is
expected, which will greatly endanger the safety
of slavery.
We think that the precaution of requiring an
oath of allegiance will not be attended with the
salutary consequences anticipated. For its eff
feet can only be to bind the immigrants to obey
the laws, while they remain laws. This good
citizens will do, Of course, without taking an
oath, but it by no means follows, that an oath
changes in the laws. Such an oath would be
in the highest degree absurd, and none but
slaves or knaves would take it..
But the people of Virginia need indulge no
apprehension that the State will become a great
manufacturing country while slavery lasts, or
that she will be overwhelmed with free immi.
grants from the North while slavery exists to
its present extent. We believe that it is the
destiny of Virginia to become great manu-
featuring and commercial as we'll as agricul-
tural State, but the process will be very grad
ual one, and slavery will recede as freedom
comes in. The growth of the flee clement will
be in exact proportion to the decline of slavery,
and free labor will supersede slave labor.
The Virginians have only to study the census
of Baltimore and of Maryland, in order to get
horoscope of their own future destiny. They
will find that the prosperity of that State and
city, their increase in population and wealth,
have been marked by aIdecline of slavery, and
that the counties which have lost most slaves
have gained most wealth and population. The
institution of slavery has now little more than
nominal existence in the counties which Dor
der on Pennsylvania, including Baltimore; and
it is these counties which have gained every

Republican was engaged in it, directly or indi-
rectly. The party with which he acted were
opposed to any intermeddling with slavery in
the States where it exists, either by the action
of the Federal Government, or by the people of
the North and regarded all such interference
as ofhcious and unwarranted by Justice or the
Constitution. Each State was sovereign over
its own affairs, and had the right to settle the
question for itself. The doctrine of the Repub
hcan party, upon which be planted himself, is,
to prevent by all legal means the extension of
slavery into free Territories, and in none of
their platforms had they declared themselves
in favor of the repeal of the fugitive slave law

1t would be unjust to Mr.. Clay, were we to at
tempt to give synopsis of his remarks, as his
speech will be published in full in few days.
There was nothing approximating an incendia-
ry idea in his speech and while we regard his
views as heretical, and, if carried out, calcu.
lated to excite bad feeling and to produce mis-
chief, yet we cannot think that the fact of the
speech being made in Frankfort will result in
harm. On the contrary, it is as well that the
erroneous impressions concerning the designs
of the dominant party in the North should be
corrected, in order that the South attributing
to them ends and aims which they have not in
view, may not act hastily or without fully COM
pretending what their opponents really desire.

despotisms of Italy and Austria, which seem to
totter to their fall, in consequence of the ava
kening spirit Of liberty among the people, are
in happy condition compared with that of the
South, if separated from the North. For the
European despotisms, severe as they may be,
recognise all classes as subjects, with acknowl-
edged rights, entitled to equal protection; all
are entitled to the fruits of their daily labors,
and their chief complaints are, that the taxes
are heavy that the press is fettered, and that
the liberty of speech is curtailed. But the
slave has no country. In the language of JEFF
ferson, 4" If a slave can have a country in this
world, it must be any other in preference to
that in which he is born to live and labor for
another" He added: ~ tremble for my
country when l reflect that God is just that
His justice cannot sleep forever; that, consid-
ering numbers, nature, and natural means only,
revolution of the wheel of fortune, an ex-
change of situation, is among possible events /;
that 1t may become probable by supernatural
interference"
Would it not be we'll for the Southern disun-
ionists to attend to this prophetic warning from
the profoundest of Southern statesmen? Mr..
Jefferson was no religious enthusiast, no agita-
tor-and, indeed, he was prone to skepticism-
yet he "trembled to think that God is just,
and feared that "a revolution of the wheel of
fortune" might be FASTENED by supernatural
interposition."
The shallow and ambitious demagogues who
now rule the South have no such faith in the
justice of an everything Providence as was
cherished by Mr.. Jefferson, though he has been
denounced as an infdel. But there is still
faith and justice in the hearts of the people,
and they should be warned of the predictions
of Virginia's greatest thinker. His fearful pic
lures of slavery and its evils should be in the
hands of every planter and citizen of the South.
The freedom of speech and of the press have
so long been suppressed in the South, that
whole generation has grown up in ignorance of
the great maxims of liberty which animated
the founders of our republican system of Gov
eminent. A wide diffusion through the South
of the teachings of the great men of the Revo-
linton upon slavery would sap slavery propa-
gandism and disunion at their base.

CAPT. CLAY'S SPEECH.

According to notice previously given, Capt.
c. NJ. Clay addressed large audience of Ken
tuckians from the steps of the Capitol on Tues
day night, the hall of the House of Represent
atives having been closed. He was respectful.
" and courteously listened to, and had no rea
son to complain of those present in any particu.
lar. All expectations of personal violence, or
any description of indgnity, if anything of the
kind was expected, were fortunately disappoint-
ed the fair fame of the capital of chiValrous
old Kentucky was not sullied by brutal and
cowardly mob violence; nor can it be said that
Shareholders shrink from the arguments of the
enemies of their institutions. And, indeed,
there was nothing in the speech of Mr.. Clay to
which the most ultra proslavery man might
not have listened without feeling that his self
respect had been violated for while the speaker
forcibly and fearlessly proclaimed his determin-
ed opposition to the institution, his sentiments
were avowed without insult to those who differ
ed with him. The speech was moderate one
in tone and language, and dictated, we thought,
by conciliatory spirit. 1t was an attempt, In
many respects successful, to show how and
wherein the Republican party had been mis-
represented by Governor Magoffin and Senator
breckenridge, and to place the principles Of
that organization in what he believed to be

THE HOMESTEAD BILL.-The Washington cor
respondent of the New York Courier writes as
follows:
MIR. Grow is preparing to introduce the
Homestead bill in the House, Immediately af.
ter organization. The House will pass it at
once, and send it to the Senate, that that body
may not have their old excuse again, of no time
to take it up. 1t is said that the President will
veto it. Well, let him, if he chooses. The
Northwest will be power in the election of
1860; and if he dare to veto bill fraught with
such importance to the interests of that section,
the citizens will know how to deal with him."
Notwithstanding this threat we trust the
President will put his veto upon the bill, if it
pass. This scheme of Homestead bill is q
proposition to swindle the Treasury and the old
States out of their just share of the public lands.
We shall be glad to applaud Presidential veto
in such case ississippiaH,
