The Union says that ''it should be carefully borne in mind that the Democratic party neither assumes that the naturalization laws as they now exist are perfect, nor that foreigners have not on some occa sions subjected themselves to just censure," &c. And ! it goes on to say that; ;t naturalized; citizens ought to see in the immense increase of immigration within the last few years, legitimate reasons for an earliest investigation by native citizens of , the pro bable influence of this increase of foreign population upon our institutions. This is a fair'arid legitimate subject for discussion ; and, if it shall result in the conviction that our naturalization, lavs are, defect ive, and require to be amended and reformed, the naturalized citizens ought neither to be surprised nor to complain," &c.

Circumstances 'oi which you arc aware require me o wind up my professional business as speedily as possible, and I sliall at tho time stated be neces sarily engaged upon the Superior Court Circuit. fcaiuiary prmapies were esutoiisnea oy tne pas sage of the Kansas and Nebraska Bill.. First ; that for the future, Congress was not to interfere in ques tions of establishing or prohibiting slavery in the Territories of the United States. Secondly ; that the future existence or non-ex- istdhec of Slavery in these Territories was to depend upon the action of the people inhabiting the lands,, so far as 'they may have power to act upon the sub ject m their Territorial Governments, and at all events when they, come into the union as btates. But, whatever uinerence of opinion ' there may have been' touching the policy of passing these acts, Tthmk I hazard little in saying that upon the mam tenance of the principles involved in them, mow de pends the future existence of this glorious union. It is but too evident however, that an effortis being made by deluded fanatics and designing poli ticians at the North, to! build up a purely sectional party based upon no principle but that of opposi tion to .slavery as existing among the people of the boutn. . . . It remains to be seen whether this effort will be successful. It is to be, hoped it will not be But yet the signs of the times seem to favor it. . It behooves the Southern States to meet this or ganization, and resist it temperately but firmly, and let me add unitedly. s " W e have now the vantage ground; let us maintain it by united strength and united counsels, with the hope that there will be found enough of good sense, moderation and patriotism among the people f the North eventually to set things right. Should we fail in this, then all we have to do Ls to stand upon our rights, and determine to maintain them at every hazard. I have the honor to remain gentlemen, very truly and respectfully your obedient servant. i ' j THOS. BRAGG. ' Messrs. A. Guxn, and others, Com. Clinchers. The Lexington (Ya.) Gazette, jn commenting ,on the course of the Northern Democra cy on the slavery question, i and the ridiculous claims set up by their Southern brethren for their exclusive orthodoxy on this subject, makes the fol lowing pertinent and forcible remarks. We adc at-. tention to the impregnable logic of. the Gazette; " it. was a .ortnern. uemocrat .-whose,' proviso formed the tree boil party. It was a '.Northern Democrat who first - proclaimed the doctrine o Squatter sovereignty. It was a Northern Demo crat with. Southern feeling ;w.ho organized and led the free Sollers" in the Canvass of '48.. It was a Northern Democratic President who approvofl the Nebraska bill, because it opened the'. "country South; of the Line of the Missourj Compromise--to the Free So: lers, and put an effectual bar against the ad mission of another Slave State into the Union. It was a Northern Democratic Senator, who upon the; passage of the Nebraska bill, congratulated the Sen ate in thus establishing the doctrine of squatter j sovereignty. It was Northern Democrats who op-: posed and defeated, the Clayton proviso to this bill. It is Northern Democratic editors who defend their representative in their support of this bill, because it removed a line which made, all territory South of it slave territory. And, it is the Democratic jour nal, par excellence, the Washington Union, which boldly proclaims that this Nebraska bill does recog; nise and practically establish the doctrine of squat ter sovereignty! r -1 "Arid in view of these few facts, it might be well for Southern Democratic' editors to wash the skirts of their own Northern brethren free from the taiiU of Abolition, before condemning the sanie fault in Northern Whigs. In Free Soil movements- the; Democrats appear to have had the honor of leading, while the Whigs only followed. Wilmot can make his proviso" and rally a Free' Soil party upon it. Yan Burcn can organize alid fead that party. Cass can springy the doctrine of squatter sovereignty. 1 Douglas, can incorporate it in the Nebraska bill. Pierce can approve the bill because it embodies that doctrine. And the Union Can endorse it; as a glo rious principle. But, all the evil that has grown and is yet to grow out of these things is to be char ged to the account of the Whig party North." ' ; ' : , ''--i- Clay in 1850. V At this ju'ncturc, Henry Clay took his seat in the Senate. His very presence there was an! event in the political history of the country. The old light was on his lofty browyand, in his eye and in his voice were tbe fire and the spell which could yet save his country. He seemed in view of the new work before him, to breathe another youth. With the wisdom , of his ripe age, he seemed to have caught from the past the vigor and the prime of his meridian fire. There was patriotism enough in the country to save it; but it was a dormant patri otism. Clay waked it up. Clay was the medium that poured the electric current of the people upon the politicians ' and the public. councils. Never be fore had he fully shown himself the man God had majle him. For fifty years he had never found a riyarfor1 wholeession, asan orajor and leader in a tdeUberatiVe assembly; ut men had compared him to -liimself, and had noted -how far he was, in this speech or" that, fromhis high water mark . of excellence.6- Now he - ,was above himself- above where the flood of his sweeping and surge-like, elo quence had ever gone before. As a mere orator, he left the great deeds of his youth and : middle age behind; ' But his oratory was the least remarkable of his claims to attention anjgratitudc. i He was eloquent in everything -instinct withQploquence, as if possessed by its spirit in movement in man-. her in writing in speech- in tone above all, per haps, in social -intercourse," transfusing himself into others: , uw ui iuvwuoH HUM : , vuc-lilCSa .- baijic, J now in tne committee room, now in the drive, on the street, every where- in every way- seeking no repose wanting none it was the fever and fanati cism of soul that, carried him with but one object before him a'nd yet that fever and fanaticism pre sided over by a judgment and a tact that never for sook and never misled him. . .
