lion. John M. Clayton and Americanism.
Some time since a letter was addressed to
Senator CLAYTON, of Delaware, on behalf of
some gentlemen of Philndel ph in, who are "deep
ly impressed with the importance of having all
the offices under the General and State Gov
ernment filled with able and intelligent men
free from the prejudice and ignorance of our
institutions, which foreign birth, education, and
influence is so apt to produce." These gentle-
men feeling a high respect for Mr. CLAYTON'S
personal character, and admiring the ability
displayed by him in conducting the affairs of
the nation, whilst filling a station but little in-
ferior in responsibility to that of the President
of the United States himself, are encouraged to
hope, from some of his late speeches and votes,
in the Senate of the United Stated, that he co
incided with them in sentiment, and would en
deavor to carry out their views by consenting to
be their candidate for the highest office within
their gift, requesting him to state whether, if
elected, he would pledge himself to exclude
from all civil offices persons who do not possess
the requisite constitutional qualifications for
filling the offices of President and Vice Presi
dent of the United States; except, in the case
of foreign diplomatic or commercial agencies,
or otherwise, where the services of persons pos
sessing the above mentioned qualifications can
not be commanded, without detriment to the
public interest." Mr. CLAYTON prefixes his re
ply, by stating that he never will ben candidate
for the Presidency, and answers the questions
propounded in the following letter:
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8, 1854.
D. RODNEY KING, Esq.—My lleac , Sir—Pro
tracted and severe sickness since the receipt of
your letter of the 9d ult., has prevented me from
keeping up my correspondence. But for this,
Y'
.
. .. . .
. iur letter would have received an immediate
answer. Let me begin then by replying to
your principle question. I respond to that by
declaring frankly, that I never was, am not now,
and never shall be, a candidate for the Presi-
deney. I have seen enough of it to form a de
cided opinion, that for me, there is no position
in this country less desirable. I shall be con
tent with the seat in the Senate of the United
States, which the kind partiality of friends in
my native State has assigned to me. Indeed,
I would not exchange it for any under the gov
ernment.
The year 185 G must decide a momentous is.
sue in this country. Are the American
people preparet; to Awe with Miens the right
of &veining this nati o n, at Lilo liallut.box, — as
SOW as those aliens can make a declaration of
intention'? They may, and often do, 'mike such
a declaration, within a week, or even a day of
ter landing on our soil. Again, are the Amer
ican people prepared to share, with aliens, eve
ry blessing and benefit conferred upon them as
American citizens, and even to give them a
share of the public domain? By the Nebraska
bill, Congress has conferred upon them the
right of voting, and by the homestead bill which
is still pending, and to be decided upon next
winter, they are to have an equal share of the
polio domain, on the same terms, with native
had naturalized citizens. Again, the Ameri
can people must decide whether, other circa.
stances being equal, the native citizen is or is
not fairly entitled to a preference in the distri
bution of honors and ounces in the country which
gave them birth.
The state of my health will not permit me to
discuss these questions in a letter. Our oats.
ralization laws are unquestionably defective, or
our alms-houses would not now be tilled with
paupers. Of the 134,000 paupers in the Uni
ted States, 60,000 are foreigners and GG,OOO na
tives. The annals of crime have swelled as the
jails of Europe have poured their contents into
the country, and the felon convict, reeking from
a murder to Europe, or who has had the torture
to escape punishment for any other crime
abroad easily gains naturalization here, by,
spendeng a part of five years within the limits
of the United States. Our country has become
a Botany Bay, into which Europe annually die
charges her criminals of every discription.
I have no prejudices against the honest for
eigners who come here to seek an asylum from
the tyranny of rulers abroad. All my sympa
thies are with them, and when they become nat
uralized I will defend them, as American citi
zens, in all their rights, as fully as those born
on the soil. I would inculcate and practice re
ligious toleration, in its broadest sense, but I
would see to it that no man of any sect, whose
creed teaches them to deny religious toleration
to me and my countrymen, should ever hold of
flee here, or power or any kind to persecute us
fur our religious opinions. No inan who ac
knowledges allegiance to any foreign potentate
or power, or who holds himself under obliga
tions to obey the edicts of any such potentate
or power, shall be by my vote placed in any
post or otfice under the American government.
would defend the rights of men of all religions
to the full extents to which those rights are
guaranteed by the American Constitution.—
But while I would adviseevery American citi
zen to defend the religious rights of all others,
even at the hazard of his life, I would at the
same time advise him to peril his life not less
freely in defence of his own.
I - do not undertake to enter into the subject
how far foreigners, who are not naturalized in
this country, should be permitted to hold office.
You will find that you can lay down no gener
al rule upon this subject, to which there will
not necessarily be exceptions. It is sufficient
for my purpose, standing, as I do, without the
power, to confer office upon others, to say, that
in my judgment, a native American citizen, un
der equal circumstances of qualifications and
merit is, better entitled to the honors and offices
of the country than a foreigner, whether natu
ralized or not.
And now, seeking no office from you or yonr
friends or any body else, I have the honor to
subscribe myself,
Very sincerely and respectfully. •
Your friend,
JOHN M. CLAYTON.

DISTRESSING NEWS.
Terrible Collision between Two Ocean
Steamships, and Total Ltiss of
the Arctic.
Between three and four hundred Souls Perish
ed. Only thirt y.tmo Lives known to be
saved.
The steamship'Aretic with 226 passengers,
exclusive of children, 175 employers, a valua
ble cargo and heavy mail, is lost. Of the more
than four hundred souls who left Liverpool on
the 20th ult., full of hope, gaitey and health,
many returning from an European tour of
pleasure, only thirty-two are known to have
been saved, and certainly not more than one
hundred can, by any possibility, have escaped ,
a watery grave.
In addition to all this, another large steam
er, freighted with hundreds of human beings,
has, in all probability, met alike fate. The de
tails of the horrible disaster are as follows:
On Wednesday, Sptember 27, precisely at
12 o'clock 111., in a dense fog we came in con
tact with a barque-rigged iron propeller, with
black hull, salmon colored butters, lead color
ed poop and boats, and black pipe. Sho was
bound eastward', and had all sails set, with a
strong fair wind. The speed of the Arctic at
the time was about thirteen knots an hour.—
The shock to us appeared slight, but the dam
age to the other vessel was frightful. Capt.
Luce instantly ordered the quarter boats clear
ed away, and the chief mote, boatswain and
three sailors went to her relief; before other
boats left, the order woo countermanded; The
Arctic then described a circle twice round the
wreck, during which tune I caught a glimpse
of more than two hundred people clustered on
her hurricane deck.
At-this juncture it was first ascertained that
we had sustained injury, and the water was pour
ing in at our bows. When the first officer came
alongside to report, the captain was unable to
take him up, but headed N. N. W. in the hope
of makig land. Our position on the previous
day, at 12 o'clock, was latitude 48 30, longitude
45 27. We had run aho,t, three hundred and
ton miles front the tiin., or this observation un
til moment of eoliii.;im, and were supposed
to be forty miles from Ca p, rittCO. The pumps
were vigorously worked, and an anchor chain
thrown overboard but in spite of all exertion,
the eiigines stopped, and the water extinguish
ed the tires. Four of the five other life boats,
believed to have been well provisioned, con
taining the engineers, sailors, and a few pass
engers, •and all the officers except the captain
and third mate, left the ship at au early stage.
The majority of the pn,:enget were working
nt the pimps—some firing the signal guns, Rini
others launching spars, under the direction of
Captain Love and Mr. Dorian, the third mate,
to form a raft.
In order to facilitate this h.tter work the
sixth and lost boat was lowered. Dorian, one
or two firemen, three of the other passengers
saved, and myself, were engaged lashing
wntercasks and settees to tic main yard, two
topgallant yards, nod several smaller spars—
the Captain, with n number of gentlemen, pro.
tecting the work by keeping hack the crowd—
when a panic seized all on board, a rush was
made, passengers and firemen precipitated
themselves headlong over the bulwarks on to
the raft, and in n moment our little boat was
full, and in imminent danger of being sunk.—
In this emergency, Dorian ordered the rope
which held us to the steamer to be cut, and
with our hands and axes we paddled from the
side. The mate, who throughout preserved
great presence of mind, and labored with hero
ic energy, cried out: "For God's sake, Cap
tain, clear the raft, so that we can work. I
won't desert the ship while there's a timber
above water."
But the sea was now flush with the deadlights.
In less than three initiates from the time he
spoke the stern sunk—the foam went boiling
over the tumbling heap of human beings—
many were dashed forward against the pipe.—
near& one wild yell (still ringing in my ears,)
and saw the Arctic and the struggling mass
rapidly engulphed. Numbers yet clung to the
imperfectly constructed raft; but, alas, we
could render them no aid. Our own situation
was no less precarious; and cruel as it seemed,
we were forced to abandon them to fate.—
Heaven forbid that I should ever witness such
riother scene. We however, picked up two
,:ore men, and then, with an overloaded boat
ithout oars, thelopins, food or drink, avoiding
with difficulty the fragments of the wreck, and
passing many * dead females, prepared for a
night upon the ocean. We secured a floating
pumpkin and cabbage, to guard against imme
diate starvation,, lashed a spar to the bow of
our boat to. keep her head to the wind and sea,
and thus drifted until daylight. The night
was cold and foggy, with a heavy swell, and,
in a cramped, drenced, and half naked condi
tion, we suffered terribly.
Without dwelling upon our miseries, allevia
ted touch by the consciousness that we had
endeavored to do our duty to our fellow men,
suffice it to any that at five o'clock on the after
noon of the 28th we espied a sail, and raised a
handkerchief to attract attention. We
successful. •With the rude substitute for
which we had constructed during the day by
lashing planks to capstan bars, with a view or
attempting to gain land when the sett subsided,
we pulled to wards the ship. On our way we
passed the remnant of the raft, with one man
on it, apparently alive.
The bark proved to be thelluron, of St. An
drews, N. 8., Capt. A. Wall, bound for Quebec.
Our men safe on board, the noble hearted
Dorian, with some of the Huron's crew, return•
ed to the raft and resound the poor fellow who
fur twenty-six hours had clung to the spars. lie
states that after the steamship sunk, he coasted
seventy-two men and four women Mt the raft,
but at 8} o'clock he was the only one alive.—
In the morning two bodies were besides him,
much eaten by fishes, and at the time he saw
our boat he was on the point of voluntary drop.
ping into the sea to end his agony. Coming
from the raft Dorian encountered and exam
ined the life ear of the Arctic. It contained a
bottle of water, some cheese and a lady's gat ,
went.
By the humane captain of the Huron, and
Mr. Wellington Cameron, a son of the owner,
we were recieved with great kindness, our
wounds dressed, fires kindled, and fund and
clothing provided in abnitdatice. During the
night of the 28th, Capt. Wall hung out extra
lights, fired rockets; and kept a horn blowing,
in hopes of fulling in with the remainder of the
boats. But his endeavours Were fruitless. On
the evening of the 29th he spoke the ship Leh
anon, Capt Story, bound for New York, by
whom eighteen of our number were taken on,
welcomed and well treated. We have
this moment reached New York, by pilot boat
Christian Berg, No. 16, to which we were trans
fered from the Lebanon, and to the crew of
which we are under great obligation.
The fate of the propeller and our five boats
is unknown. If the steamer was, as I have
reason to think, the Charity, from Montrtal to
Liverpool, she is, I believe built with water
tight compartments, or bulkheads, and will
float, notwithstanding the damage to her bow.
The fact that a boat left her, which was capsi
zed by our paddles, augurs ill for her buoyant
condition, though Capt. Wall, of the Huron, on
the morning of of the 28th saw a singular look.
ing craft far to leeward, but was unable to tell
whether she was a steamer or sailng vessel. He
says she had a nondescript apbearance, and
may have been the wreck of the propeller.
POSITIVELY THE LAST DAY.—NO POSTPONE
:SENT ON ACCOUNT OF TOE WEATIIER.—A Sy
racuse paper says that the Millerites have re.
cently been holding a series of meetings in that
city, and have labored somewhat earnestly to
make converts. The day now fixed fur the end
of all things earthly, is the 19th of May, 1955.
These fixed last days having so often come and
gone without the occurenca of any mulled phe.
nomena, we hardly think there can he many so
unwise as to be disturbed by the prediction.—
But the end of delusion is not yet.

- I•Su telegraphed, but we think it is a mistake.
Flour.
It is a curious fart, perhaps not generally
known, that in every hundred pounds of flour,
in the ordinary state, there are eleven to thir•
teen pounds of water; in other words that (w
-eight of every barrel of flour is not flour at all,
but the same element that tills from the clouds
and runs in the brook. Not a very pleasant
' reflection is it, surely, that when we pay ten
dollars fur a barrel of material to work up into
•"staves of life," ono dollar and n quarter of that
hard-earned amount goes for what could be pro
cured, "without money and without price,"
from the spout of any pump in the street. Ac
cording to a table whirl: we find in the nitnar,
giving the result of an analysis of flour front
different States, it seems that the flour of Med
iterranean wheat contains the smallest per rea
lm of water. The following is the table re
ferred to:
Now .1 onsor, .12.75
Now Your,, Genesee wheat, 13.85
Onto, flour from Louisville, 12.85
Ixto.tx.i, flour from Logansport, 12.85
Ir.f.tsots, flour from Oswego, 12.80
Micnto.tx, flour from Bruce Mills, 13.20
MicutuAN, flour from Monroe, 13.10
WISCONSIN, flour made there, 13.80
GonnulA, flour from Floyd county, 11.75
Average 12.81 per cent.
The large proportion of water contained in
flour will account for the fact that it so soon
sours when kept. The 7'rihris, states that it is
well ascertained that half of the flour that is
not eaten fur six months after it was packed,
has commenced the chemical change which
precedes entire decay. It is at great risk, then,
that dealers keep flour and even wheat long on
their hands.
IMPRISONMENT OP AMERICANS.—We learn
from hits Texas papers that several gentleman
arrived at San Antonio on the 4th of last
month, who reported that in the prison of the
city of Durango, they found three Americans
confined in a stone dungeon of the most filthy
description. Their names are William Shirley,
of Broome co., N. Y., and Win. Rogers, of
Stark co., and John Grains, of Dayton, Ohio.
They state that for over four years they had
seen no face but that of the jailer, and about
half of the time had been chained to the floor,
in total darkneess; that they were ituprisond on
the charge of robery, anti murder, but had never
been granted a trial; and 'that although they
had repeatedly written to the U. S. Minister at
Mexico, they believe he had never recieved
their letters.
ItS..On Tuesday two weeks a party of Gin.
donations went to the woods in the neighbor
hood - of Hillsborough on a sporting expedition.
On Wednesday afternoon, as one of the party,
named Joseph Cridlan, was perambulating the
woods in search of game, he thought he espied
a quail on the ground feeding. He instantly
raised his gun, took aim, and 'fired at the ob.
jut. Cridlan hurried up to secure his prise.
To his astonishment he found that he had shot
and instantly killed another of the party named
James Glancy, who laid down to rest, having
travelled all day. Clancy leaves a with and
four children. Cridlan is almost insane in eon•
sequence of this unfortunate oceurence.
Ze".M. de Balzac was lying awake in bed,
when he saw a man enter his room cautiously
and attempt to pick the lock of lus
desk. The rogue was not a little disconcerted
at hearing a loud laugh from the occupant of
the apartment, whom he suppled asleep.—
"Why do you laugh 7" asked the their. "1 tun

to think what pains you are taking, and what a
risk you run. m hope of finding motley by night

TO TIM CURIOUS IN GENNALOGY.--If you
have no distinct idea of your ancestors their
habits, character, principles, and occupations,
get nominated fur some prominent office, and
the opposition prints will give you your gen
ealogy to the furthest remove. They will tell
you what your greut•grand•father prefercd for
dinner.
SrarA young man locating an acquaint
mac, said, "I thought you was dead. "But,"
said the other 'you sco •me alive. "I don't
know how that may be,' replied he; 'you are
such a notorious liar, and my informant was a
person of credit'
Siar The damp occasioned by the drought
is estimated at the sum of two hundred and
fifty millions of dollars. A loss to the people
of the United Stales equal to the expense of the
Mexican war.

Although these Institutions are in their incipi.
