Irks' Itiesseltusetts Restriction.
Two 'weeks se wo caged . the attention
of our remises to the proposed intendment
to the Constitution of Massachusetts, which
the
T eeple of that state have sines adopted
by * delded italiorky of the votes cad at
the 1 4sidiPsi, sdostlif the naturalised oitir
sea is deptieed of, his right to vote tvat
years after ion. This Movement
of the Republicans of litaanchusetts ought
to ma the eyes of our adopted citizens,
who hese political predilettions in that
direction to the proeiriptive tendency of
that party. In 18* as every politician
knows, there was a very large body of
Germans, and other foreign born votere,
who, carried miry by the cry of "free men
and free labor," voted for the Republican
candidate* Prethient. They forgot that
the Republican party two years previous
was the Know Nothing party--that the
mine men governed 14 in 1856 as in 1854,
cad although policy in that year dictated
to them the propriety of concealing their
well known sentiments upon the question
of nateralisstkei, they were in reality as
much at heart Zloty Nothings when the/
went to vote far Fremont, as they were two
years Indere when they met in council in
secret *nee to drill their forces for the
Coming political battle. This is demon
strated by the course of the Republicans
in liaasschusetts upon the question we
refer to. That state, as is well described
by the Boston aorrier, ever since the sud
den and startling apparition of the Native
party in the autumn of the year mention
ed, has been governed by a coalition be
tween that party and the Republicans.—
The men who were then, and are now, the
leaders of the Republican party, immedi
ately rushed into the Know-Nothing
lodges, and humbly begged permission to
eat whatever• dirt was requisite to invest
thorn with the privileges and immunities
of the order of the Dark Lantern, which
request, alter due deliberation, "Sam" grir
cite* vouchsafed to grant on certain con
ditions. In such a coalition there was a
total abandonment of principle on both
sides. It was a marriage of convenience—
s of spoils. This point we cannot
atop to ; and to any man of uncm
rupted moral instincts it needs not to be
argued. One of the conditions, of the bar
pin betWee* the two factions was that
both should k together to carry thro'
the logs z that amendment to the
Constitist4ni on which the people last week
voted u and adopted. The bargain has
been fairly kept. But in the meantime
the Native American party, whickcanse

.• . s r s s • grave.—
,But Republicanism has enlarged its sphere
and erpandedita hopea. It embraces the
whole nation within the grasp of its grow
ing ambition. Visions of cabinet offices, of
foreign embassies, of collectorship', of post
officer, begin to play before the deeded
eyes of hungry politicians. The lean kite
which have been nibbling the scanty herb.
age of State and county patronage, look
with longing eyes upon those fat national
pastures where Democracy crops its flow
ery food, knee deep in treasury gram.-+--
But the moment you get outside of Mae
eachumetts, Know-Nothingiran - becomes sin
offence and a stumbling-block in the eyes
of the Republican party, or at least a large
portion of them. In the national race it

to the Carp lagfidatif a statement of the

merit that tht Austrian invasion of Sardinia
could only be regarded as a timlon of
war, and as such the French
,Government
regarded it., The Emperor was to leave
for Sardinia on the 6th. The Austrian
army in the meantime had advanced to
the &nisi and 'had occupied Vercelli, a
City of Sardinia, about 30 miles from the'
Ticino and halt say on the high-roid be
tween Milan and Turin. From the posi
tions of the opposing armies, it was thought
a colliskin could hardly be postponed be- ' ,
yond the 6th inst. The sabor of the war
upon the stock market had already react
ed. The' rate of interest, however, was
raised in Franoe and at the centres of Ger
man trade, and the Bank of -England was
expectedito advance on the 6th Mat. The
English Parliamentary elections were near
ly concluded—the Ministry failing to secure
a sufficient gain to give them the new
House oft Commons. From India we have
limportint news by the Vigo. The rebels
had been defeated badly by a combined
movement of the English troops, 500 of
them having been killed in one fight, in
cluding several officers. The main body
HO the rebels were still at•lNapsul on the
Bth of April. Rajah Mannsigh surrender
ed his force on the 2d, and Tintia Topee
was captured on the Bth. ' '
News tine day later than the above, per
steamer Canada, alters the state of the war
very little. The Austrians are shivering
before the plunge, and advance very slowly. ,
They have been repulsed in an attempt to
cross tha t Po at a place called Trasaiho in
the 'despatch, but which is Probably Trino,
a point ten or fifteen miles south-west of
Vercelli; iihich they had previously occu
pied. Their van-guard was at Tronsano,
a town on the direct route from Vercelli to
Turin, and which is much nearer Turin
than Alessandria. If we are to suppose
that the main body of the Austrians are to
pursue this route, it is evident that they in
tend to avoid Alessandria, leaving it to the
southward, and marching directly upon
Turin. Their forces are scattered over a
large district of country, and, apparently,
in a position where they are liable to be
cut off in detail, without any general bat
tle. In the meantime, they are bothered
by inundsitions, to which the flat country
of Piedmont is liable, and which it is in
the power of the Sardinians' to produce at
any time. Both Emperors, Napoleon and
Francis Joseph, are to take command in
person.
l ow When we state the proposition that
the right of property is Cotattitutional, any,
intelligent man will understand that we i
refer to the Constitution of the United
Stites—Jthat written . instrument which re
ceived the sanction of Washitgton, and
Jefferson, ar4d other patriot; of the Revo
luticrn—andtick to the "natural" or ph3rsi-
he assumes, as lie does in his last paper,
that we "argue that the negro is tusbotalty
a slave," he shows a very long pair of Edi
torial ems, and exhibits himself in no very
enviablyight before the few intelligent
readers who look over his editorials. We
say the Constitution of the United States
recognizes the right of property in slaves--
the debates 6 the Convention that framed
that instrument show its members intended
to have it recognize that right—the legisla
tion of the country since has invariably
recognized it—and more than all, the Su
preme Court, which wait created by that in
strument for the purpose of deciding all
questions of Constitutional law, has so de
tided; and that is sufficient • for us. The
difilcultpr with the Err, is that it forgets
the. distinction between a State and a terri
tory. The one is a sovereignty, with a
Written constitution and law, framed and
adopted by the people thereof, while the
Ither is a colony--a dependeney ! ---of thirty
ne sovereign States, with no Constitution
r written law but the Constitution which
finds the thirty-one sovereign States to-
ether. And hence the theory of the Dred
400tt dieision that the owner of a slave in
# State recognizing slavery does not Leask
his- right of property in that slave when be
‘moves to a territory. Bat what is the
