That it may bo worthy, in all respects, of their hearty support, Its conductors will constantly aim, not only to reflect and advocate Republican principles and measures, but to present in its columns complete and reliable information on all questions of State and National Politics. Full reports of the proceedings of the Ohio Legislature, and a daily telegraphic synopsis of the debates in Congress, will be furnished, during tho sessions of those bodies. Complete and accurate reports of tho decisions of tho Ohio Supremo Court, will be published dally during tho stated terms of that Court.

U" SqnMier Sovereignty, or Popular Sovereignty How It I understood nnd lrac tlceil by the Democracy Familiar Illustrations,Editor Ohio State Journal : Every person familiar with the history of politics in the Northern States, since the passage of thoKansas-Nebraska bill, tv ill remember that the Democracy have defended that measure on the pretense of Popular Sovereignty. They have from that day to this, proclaimed that a great principle is involved, and proclaimed to the world by that act, which gives to the people of a territory the right to control their own affairs, in their own way. The territories were no longer to be under the control of the General Government, but were to be left to transact their own affairs without interference, or the supervisory control of the General Government. Territories were to have the same rights as States, not when they should form themselves into States, for they always had this right, but as territories If they wanted Slavery, they were to have it. If they did not want Slavery, they were to have the right to prohibit it. In short, " Popular Sovereignty" meant the right of the people of a territory to control their own affairs in their own way. This theory had such a specious appearance at first view, that it reconciled many unthinking persons to the enormity of the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. They really thought a new era was about to dawn upon us, and that qy this bill a new and important step had been taken in our political progress. Of course, all men of good sense and discernment saw in this scheme only a pretense, a sham, devised by cun ning men to satisfy the consciences of theii Northern party followers. But the friends of the bill were not mistaken in the character of their followers. They accepted tho explanation, swallowed the bill, and for years have indulged themselves in the delusive idea that thcro was a reality in the popular catch-word of Squatter Sovereignty. Events during tho pasf year have sadly shaken tho foundation of this faith. The Drcd Scott decision has been made, and it has been indors. ed as correct by the President; by his cabinet, and by the party leaders and conventions all over the Union. Even Douglas, witli nil his talk of Popular Sovereignty, professes submission to tho Drcd Scott decision. Now, that decision de clares that slavery exists in all the territories of the United States; that the Constitution carries it thcro; that slaves being property, tho slave holder has the same right to take and keep his slaves in Kansas and Nebraska that tho Ohio farmer has to take and keep his horse or oxen there. It decides that nciihor Congress nor the Territorial Legislature, nor the people of a ter ritory, havo the right to prohibit slavery. It strikes at tho very root, and destroys beyond re demption, tho lust remnant of Popular Sovcr. cignty. It takes away every pretense of it from all who submit to and acquiesce in the correct ness of the decision. But, I took up my pen to illustrnto to your readers two late, and very notablo instances of the Democratic practice, undor tho Popular Sov. creignty, Kansas-Nabraska act. Lot them be noted and carefully considered. It is announced that Col. Samuel Mcdary, of this city, has been appointed by the President Governor of Kansas. Let us apply the Popu lar Sovereignty rule to this case, and see ho looks. Lnst winter, Mcdary do clared hig adhesion to Lccompton, and tho entire list of frauds and outrages that will forever be connected with thnt odious name. Ho sustained the President in his infamous attempt to force that instrument upon the people of that territory. As a reward for his subserviency, he came back from Washington with the commission of Postmaster of Columbus, in his pocket, tho head of the virtuous and consistent Tom. Miller having been taken off to make a placo for him. Wo all remember the times wo had over that event. Miller got up tho famous convention at the Theater, when Pay no and Manypcnny, and other Ohio Patriots, were assisted by cx-Sccrelary Stanton of Tcnnessco, to express their horror and indignation at tho Lecompton policy of Buchanan and tho Administration. Thereupon Mcdary got up a counter meeting of Lccomp-tonitcs, and made one of his rnnting, tearing sort of speeches, in which ho pitched into the character and motives of tho anti-I.cconiiton agitators, praised tho President, nnd lauded Lccompton nnd tho Administration to the skies. IIo fully indorsed tho President in his effort to force Lccompton upon Kansas. Now he is selected by this samo President tir act as Governor of that Territory. IIo has ac cepted the appointment. The question I wish to suggest is, how many votes would Mcdary, with his Lecomptonism, get from the people of Kansas for that post, if it were left to them ? Judging by their vote on Lecompton, he would have about one in ten. The President knows this, and yet ho sends Medary there. Tho intelligent Democrats every where know this, yet they acquiesce in the appointment. Thcro is in all this, not only a studied and persistent insult to Popular Sovereignty in the abstract, but to the known will and wishes of the peoplo of Kansas. Let the Popular Sovereignty Demo crats of Ohio think of this. The other notable instance has but lately tran spired and has not yet attracted that attention which its importance demands. It is known that the infnmous Border Ruffian Legislature, elected by Missourians, whoso acts have ever been repudiated by the peoplo of that Territory, among other notorious nets, passed a bill fixing the Capital of Kansas at Lecompton. The name, after the notorious Jeffries of the West, Lccompt, is, and ever has been enough to condemn it in tho eyes of every true citizen of Kansas. They havo ever totally repudiated all the acts of that Bogus Legislature. They did not then, they havo not since, and they never will, in any manner or form, recognize tho nets of that band of ruffians as binding upon them. As soon as tho people hud a chance to elect a Legislature the new body fixed tho Capitol at another point. I do not suppose that ono in ten of tho people desire the Capital to be at Lc compton. A short time since, the telegraph informed us that the Attorney-General of Buchanan at Washington, Mr. Black, had decided that the act of tho people fixing their Capital, is inoperative and void, that matter having once been fixed by the bogus Missouri Legislature. So, the present and future Legislatures must go to Lccomp ton. Here is another beautiful specimen of Popu lar Sovereignty : The people cannot even have the poor privilege of deciding what place shall be their Capital. It was all fixed by tho bogus Missouri Legislature, and, although every citizen of the territory may desire a change, we are told by the Attorney General, at Washington, that it cannot be done. I ask tho Democracy of Ohio, who have been deluded by this catch-word, what they think of this sort of Popular Sovereignty? Is it the entertainment to which they were invited in 18o(i? X. How the Thing was Done In Illinois. The shrewder observers of tho political world at the West say that if the vote of the people of Illinois had been taken a few weeks earlier, the friends of Douglas would have been beaten, and a legislature elected which would have been certain to return his competitor, Lincoln, to the United States Senate. A very strong impression was made in favor of Douglas, on two different classes of men, by two letters published at a critical moment tho letter of Mr. Crittenden of Kentucky; and that of Mr. Breckinridge, Vice-President of the United States. Mr. Crittenden's letter carried over to the side of Douglas a largo number of the old-line whigs, who hail no strong inclination to support the Republican candidate, yet might have done so but for that letter, or might have refrained from going to the polls. It put an end to their irresolution, and brought them to tho polls to vote for the IJouglns candidates. Tho letter of Mr. Breckinridge reconciled a great many Administration Democrats to the support of Mr. Douglas. They wore suspicious at first that Douglas was taking a very irregular course, and wcro not inclined to countenance what seemed to be an net of disorganization; but they now learned that the Vice President, himself a member of the Administration, had carefully considered the matter, and thought it tho duty of all good Democrats to support the Douglas candidates, and prevent, if possible, the election of Lincoln to tho Senate. They followed his recommendation. Besides this, tho minds of a largo class were prepared for tho support of Douglas by tho violent attacks made upon him by the Administration. "What is tho cause," they asked, "of all this persecution? Douglas opposed the Lccompton fraud ho opposed it. vigorously and boldly and it was not his tuult if that scheme of iniquity was not rejected. His opposition to it was the most honorable act of his public life; some think it tho only good thing he ever did as a public man; and for this the Administration and its friends brand him with nil manner of opprobrious epithets, and seek to bring him into disgrace with tho peoplo nnd to thrust him out of public life." Every new attack of the Administration upon Douglas only increased the tendency to sympathize with him and take his part; it fixed the attention of the people on the good lie had done, nnd made them forget his pnst errors. When the letters of Crittenden nnd Bicckinridgo appeared, it found a large number of the people of Illinois, both old whigs and old Democrats, in this mood, nnd easily brought them over to the support of tho Douglas candidates. N. Y. Eve. Post. Christianity In China. It is not a little remarkable that four of tho most powerful nations of the earth, in negotiation with the most populous of all the Pagan nations, should have united in securing in thnt nation, the frco diffusion of the Christian religion. The, American, tho British, the French, and the Russian treaties secure protection for all who shall embrace Christianity, and the teachers ami missionaries of the Cross. Those treaty stipulations show 1. Thnt the Christian religion hns a commanding power in the sentiments of the rulers of the most powerful nations of tho earth. It is a recognized institution of great moral value, and is provided for in tho most solemn transactions between the empires of the earth. 2. That Christianity was to dio in less than fifty years, was the confident anticipation of the most distinguished infidels who were on tho earth half n century ago. Tho treaties bIiow it has lived. These prophets, where nro they? 3. Thcso treaties will conduce beyond question, to tho rapid spread of the Christian faith throughout tho long benighted empire of China, removing many hitherto formidable obstacles. 4. This recognition of Christianity is an institution, nnd providing for its protection as it spreads, is a powerful encouragement to its friends to use their most vigorous efforts for its universal diffusion. Japanese Politeness. I While the U. S. frigate Powhatan was at Nagasaki, she was visited by a Japnneso Governor and suite, whose appearance is thus described hy a correspondent of tho Philadelphia Leilycr: "Kichizuro now descended to tho boat, nnd reappeared a moment later with several hifh officers in his tow. Thcso all bowed low, and ranged themselves in a line nlongside'thc gangway and bent to tho very deck ns an aged and mild looking personage followed them, and looked around him with an air of calm dignity and the most courtly of bearings. I nover saw a more self-possessed nnd gentlemanly looking ' old man than he who now saluted us. His every look and action said as plainly ns words 'I nm your friond nnd equal, though our dress and cus- toms differ.' It seems that every one acknowledged this, for it was the theme of general discussion after he had gone this 'unexpected air of courtly breeding in Japan.' "'Confound them I' said the Commodore, good humoredly, 'these people are the most polite and smiling that I over saw. That old gentleman, with his soft voice and unexceptionable manner, made me feel as if I was receiving a favor at his hands, instead of acting tho part of his host.' " A Popular Poison. The recent tragio occurrence at Bradford, England, where seventeen persons were poisoned by the carelessness of a druggist's clerk, superadded to theculpiiblo neglect of a manufacturer of candy, has created a painful sensation all over Great Britain. This distressing fatality, of which we have before published the particulars, was, we are told, undoubtedly an accident; but it directly arose out of that which is not accidental, but habitual, systematic and deliberate namely, the fraudulent adulteration of confectionery. It was by mistake that (lie manufacturer put arsenic into his lozenges, as it was by mistake that arsenic was supplied to him by the druggist; but the mistake would not have happened if it were not a custom with certain lozenge-makers to dose tho public with cheap and nasty stuff under n false name. There was no intention, in any quarter, of putting seventeen innocent persons to a painful denxb, but it was intended to mako a dishonest profit by selling plaster of paris for sugar. Tho fact is surely not without its lesson, that one of the most dreadful social calamities on record should be directly referable to a trick of trade. It is not the mere carelessness in this individual instance that forms so serious a feature of the case, so much as it is the fact thereby divulged, that confectioners are in the constant habit of adulterating their compounds in the most wholesale manner; that they are continually palming off spurious for genuine matter. The Bradford confectioner did all this, and it is not likely he was alone in his guilt. Very few out of the business understand how candy is made, and of late its manufacture has almost expanded into a science. Ingredients, in themselves poisonous, arc often used to give those attractive colors which look so pretty in the shop windows, while the art of imparting, by chemical combinations, the flavor of various vegetable products, such as lemon, banana, &c, ncce? sari-ly involves tho use of articles which would be dangerous if compounded by an unskillful hand. It is only a few years ago that there was quite a panic in this city about the well-tasting little confection known as "banana drops;" and it was not till the article was analyzed by eminent chemists, nnd assurances of its harmlessness published, that banana drops could find a mouth to receive them. Even to this day there is a doubt ns to whether these artificial flavors are perfectly safe. In England the matter is taken up in earnest, and the confectioners will probably suffer severely for their long-continued course of deceit. People can do without candy very well, nnd will sooner deprive themselves of a trifling luxury, than run the risk of being poisoned. It is seldom, it is true, that such catastrophes as that at Bradford occur, or that tho evil effects of the adulteration of edibles are so palpably obvious. But who can tell how many children, both in England and this country, havo had their constitutions slowly undermined by indulgence in that stuff which, though sold by respectable confectioners, is a pernicious nnd deadly cheat, and as surely, if not as quickly, poisonous as the arsenic lozenges of Bradford. iV. Y. Eve, Post. Whltehouse'a Otter to Work the Cable Declined.Mr. Whitchousc, tho Into Electrician of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, publishes a letter received by him from the Secretary of the Company refusing his request that the line might be submitted to his further tests nnd experiments, nnd declining to enter into the proposal contemplated by him. Closing of tub Caulk Company's Premises at Valentia Dismissal or the Staff. The Tralec Chronicle publishes a letter dated Valentia, November 4th, to the following effect: "Great excitement prevails here in consequence of the summary dismissal of tho electric stuff connected with tho cable, nnd the unexpected closing up of the company's premises. On Monday morning, Mr. McCurley, secretary's assistant, (who had arrived from London on the previous night,) proceeded to the telegraph office, and, without nny previous intimation that such a course was to be adopted, gave orders to each of the clerks on duty to lcavo the premises, ns their services were no longor required, tome time ago each of the clerks got notice to be ready to leave on the 31 )t It of November, but it was hoped that the cable would bo so far reme died betoro then as to render tneir services again indispensable. The stuff consisted of a superintendent, nnd six assistants, nnd a more efficient and respectable bodv of men could not be found. The cause of this uncourteous nnd narrow-minded proceeding is by some nttribu. ted to the nctivo part tnken by some of the clerks in getting up the recent demonstration of respect to Mr. W hitchoiise. "Liut tho more generally received opinion is, thnt ns the majority of the staff were young men of Mr. Wh'itehouse's selection on the inception of the cnhlc project, and who have become skill. ed and experienced under his instructions, it was deemed wise by the directors to remove them, lest they might be too willing to oid him in any experiments or efforts ho might desire to make to restore the cable to working order. It is not yet known whether they arc to be succeeded by another staff. The laying of the shore end was commenced on Mondny, and is progress ing slowly. I hat part of the cablo between Lock Key and Valentia is laid down, but the most difficult part remains to bo done, and a long timo will elapse, before it is completed. The persons to whom this nil-important task is en trusted are Captain Kcll, nnd an assistant of .Mr. Henley s, who havecomo to test the cable. The Scandinavian in America. If a New Englander trnvels in Wisconsin, he will, in somo portions of that State, imagine himself to bo in Sweden, Denmnrk, or Norway, if he judges by customs, manners and language Whole communities exist there at the present, almost intact from tho Anglo-American element around tlieni living ns they lived in their fath er-land holding on to old customs, old forms, and national characteristics. But there is no better foreign element, in America than tho Scandinavian. It is Protcstnnt or Lutheran It loves liberty. It. hns power and vitality not to perpetuate itself, but a power, or condition, to infuso itself into the American character, not to degrade, but to elevate. It is an enlightened clement. It. hns in this country not less than ten influential publications, somo of which are ably conducted nnd well supported. Three of these are religious papers, of marked ability nnd are staunch advocates of Protestantism. With affinity towards American institutions, with a far greater vitality of life than the Celt, the Norsemen in our country will soon become a part of tho American character incorporated into it, adding strength to what is now so strong. Louis Napoleon on the Slave Trade. The sentiment of the civilized world against the renewal of the slave trade, and the opinions of thnso best informed, that tho traffic in free laborers carried on by French agents on the negro coast was nothing less than the slave trade under another name, have nt. last forced tho Emperor Napoleon to assert that, he will not tolerate a secret slave trade under any circumstances, and led him to direct tho resumption of the suspended negotiations with England. His conversion is late, and was not nnnounced until he had imposed tho last indignity upon a free European state. Nothing like an apoloirv to Por tugal appears in the Kinpcror's letter, but it is ; an tuiohiiry, nevertheless, to that stale and to tho enlightened opinions of tho civilized world Antl-Slaverjr Legislation In Vermont. Twojimportant bills are now before the Legislature of Vermont, relating to the subject of fugitive slaves. The first, which has passed the Senate, prescribes the method in which the claimant shall prosecute all proceedings for the recovery of the alleged fugitive. The luttcr shall not be arrested until the claimant has filed with a Supreme Court Judge an affidavit Betting forth the facts on which he relics, and also a bond to the person whose services are claimed, in the sum of 2000,thnt he will prosecute his claim to effect, or pay all costs and damages. The case shall be tried on the facts of the affidavit; and if any person shall mnko an urrest in a claim of this nature in any other way, "lie shall be punished by imprisonment in the State Prison, not more t han five years, nor less than two years, and bo fined not exceeding $1000." The other bill, which has been introduced by Senator Evarts of Rutland county, is ns follows: "Section 1. Any person who shall bring within this State any other person, held ns a slave, by law or usage, in any other of tho United Slates, with intent to hold such other person in servitude within this State; or shall, within this State, restrain such other person of his or her liberty, or shall assert or maintain, or attempt to maintain, any claim or property in such other person, such person sooffending shall be deemed to be guilty of a felony, and shall, on conviction thereof, bo punished by imprisonment in the Stale Prison, not more than ten years nor less than five years, and by fine not exceeding $0000. "Section 2. Any person within this Stnto who shall restrain, or attempt to restrain, the liberty of any other person, upon any pretence or claim of owning any property in bucIi other person, such person, so restraining or attempting to restrain, the liberty of such other person, shall be deemed guilty of a felony, nnd on conviction thereof, bo punished by imprisonment in the State Prison not more than ten years nor less than five years, and by a lino not exceeding $.j(M)0. "Section 3. This act shall take effect from its passage." The Telegraph to Culm. The long-talkcd-of project of establishing telegraphic communication between tho United States and Cuba, is, we are informed, about to be carried into effect. C. C. Walden, Esq., late Deputy Collector at New York, Superintendent in this country of the Cuban Telegraph Company, has received instructions from Havana to commence the construction of the route between Savannah and Fcrnandinn, and Messrs. Mora Brothers nnd Favnro have placed the necessary funds at his disposal. With regard to the submarine portion of the line, the Company's agent writes that the petition of the Company for concession of the privilege has been received by the Spanish Ministry, and that there is every reason to hope that it will bo granted. The Captain-General of Cuba has indorsed the opinion most strongly, nnd it is confidently expected thnt his opinion will be sufficient to secure the grant to the Mora company, in preference to all other applicants. The advices from Madrid do not, however, strengthen this belief. A note dated Madrid, October 31st, says that there are no less than seven applications to that Government, for the construction of a submarine cable between Cuba and the United States, and that it was probable tho Government would decide in a short time to offer the whole project at auction, and sell to the highest bidder "tho privilege of landing submarine cables on the Island of Cuba for twenty-five years." How Q,nlck the Chinese are Civilized. To seo tho effect of one's surroundings, says the Philadelphia Gazette, look at the representative of the central flowery land, who sells cigars on the sidewalk, near the custom house. The name of tho exotic is Mr. Hang Whang. Mr. Hang Whang has been in the cigar trado anil the model republic about four weeks. He made his debut with unmentionables near his skin, nnd his shirt outside the latest style current in Hong Kong. A week afterwards, he laid aside Chinese trowsors and took to Market street pants. The next week ho left off his blue frock nnd camo out in a dress coat the tail starched so stiff that, you might use it for a boot-jack. The next change was to purchaso a Warburton hat, and convert his former ono into a portable money drawer. We yesterday found him en tirely transmogrihcd into an anti-Celestial his Chinese boots traded off for brognns, and his pig-tail braded up behind his cars liko a bird's nest, i csterdny evening we heard him indulg ing in profanity. If all this don't go to show the advantage of civilization, then what docs? Proposed Testimonial to Paul Morphy, A number of gentlemen in New York, among whom are Hon. John an Buren, Judgo Whiting nnd others, have tormed themselves into n coin mittee for the purpose of securing tho necessary funds to present to Paul Morphy, the brilliant chess player, a national testimonial, upon his ar rival home, as an expression of the highnppreci ntion in which his wonderful powers ns a chess player and sterling qualities as a man, ore held by his numerous admirers on tins side of the water. The testimonial proposed is a set of gold and silver chess men, exquisitely nnd elaborately wrought, mounted on cornelian pedestals, and accompanied with a richly inlaid chess board. In addition to this, should the fund warrant it, a commemorative medal will be struck, of which the youthful champion will receive a copy in gold, and each subscriber to the amount of fire dollars, a copy in bronze. To this end the cooperation of chess players are invited, nnd of all those who take an interest in the great achievements of Mr. Morphy. I.UMHKKixa Dnw.v East. The St. Croix Herald says: Tho preparat ions for tho winter's campaign in tho woods nre just now going on actively in this quarter. All t lie principal berths in t lie immense lumbering district of the St. Croix nnd its branches have now been tnken up, nnd it is difficult to get a berth of any description at tho present time for the winter's operation, so great has been the demand for them by those who design prosecuting the business another season. We are informed that in one concern where 30,000 ncres of timber land arc owned, every block, with but a solitary exception, is engaged. When the season shall have fairly set in, tho force in the woods sent thither hy the lumber merchants on this river will, it is estimated, amount to about fivo hundred teams nnd 3,000 men. A good anecdote of Professor Agnssiz is told in n new volume in press at Boston. The Professor had declined In deliver a lecture before some lyceimi, or public society, on account of the inroads which previous lectures given by him had mado upon his studies and habits of the tight. Tho gentleman who hnd been deputed to invite him, continued to press the invitation, assuring him that the society were ready to pny him liberally for his services. "That is no inducement to me," replied Agassiz, "I cannot afford to wnsto my timo in making money." Arr Epioham. When William Seymour was sent to the Tower for having married privately Arabella Stuart, in opposition to tho command of King James, ho met there a Scotch clergyman, named Melville, who had been imprisoned for making a sarcastic epigram upon tho altar of the royal chapel. Ho greeted Seymour with tho following lines: "Communis toann mlhl rnuiwpt mrri-rlH, Am Jiffa tibi cnuna eM, unique surra mild." A gentleman in the habit vjf entertaining, very often, a circlo of friends, observed that ono of them was in the habit of eating something before grnco was osked; and determining to cure him upon a repetition of the offense, he said: "For what wo aro about to reooivo, and for what James Taylor lias already received, the Lord mako us truly thankfull" Tho effect may bo imagined. English Politics. The London correspondent of the Boston Bet, furnishes that paper somo notices of the political parties in England, which we copy below. Our readers will find them succinct and valuable : ' During that period of the parliamentary history of England, in which Fox and Pitt, and Sheridan and Burke rose to the zenith of their fame, and presented to the world an array of oratorical tulent which has been seldom surpassed, the political parties in this country were divided into only two great parties Tory and Whig. In tho ranks of both were to be found men of tho most brilliant intellect and the most varied acquirements. The wit and the lawyer, tho philosopher and the poet, the historian mid the philanthropist wcro ranged on either side, and diversified the discussion of the most momentous questions of state by bringing to bear tho most copious stores of knowledge which each individual possessed. But times have changed since then. Fox nnd Pitt, the two great rivals for political power, now slumber peacefully side-by side in Westminster Abbey. The other eminent men who flourished at that time, have long since disappeared from the arena of political strife; nnd their nnmcs have been emblazoned on tho escutcheon of immortality. Political creeds, too, have changed since then. Tho Whig and tho Tory no longer flourish in all their pristine antagonism. Both aro gradually becoming obsolete, and parties with more liberal opinions nre beginning to take their place. Of the Tories of the old school those gentlemen who think "they have a right to do ns they please with their own," and whose ideas belong to a by gone age a few still remain. As living remembrances of a class al most extinct as exemplifying what sort of opinions were once entertained by men of that order, they may bo regarded as curiosities. But for any practical uso to society they oucht long ago to have sunk into their graves. Old, antiquated and absurd, they are fitter for the middle nges than for the present century, with its leveling, democratic tendencies, its enlarged ideas and its gigantic projects. Political parties at the present dny may be thus classified: Tories, or Conservatives, Liberal Conservatives, Pcelites, Whigs, Liberals, Radicals, or Advanced Liberals. 1. The Tobies. Dr. Johnson defined a To ry to be "one who adheres to the ancient constitution of the State and the apostolical hierarchy of the church of England." That definition, which was written about a century ago, is as appropriate at the present day as it was then. A Tory not only "adheres to the ancient constitution of the State," but he docs his best to pre vent it. being altered. He looks with feelings of hatred upon reforms of every kind, nnd regards a political reformer ns a species of incendiary. He vencrntcs the past, ami speaks affectionate ly of what ho calls "the good old times." . He thinks no abuse in either Church or State ought to be repealed, but that they should all be perpetuated from generation to generation. He believes in Kings, Lord and Commons, but has no faith or liking for the other part of the community. He is firmly convinced that nations were created and still exiHt for the use of kings, nnd that the only use of the populnce is to pay taxes and let themselves bo governed by those whom he designates "the upper classes ol socie ty. He entertains a profound regard for persons of title, and an equal degree of contempt for every thing plebeian. He considers it a very high honor to be able to trace his descent from some unhanged cut-throat who accompanied the brutal Norman savage, known in English histo ry by the name of n llliam the Conqueror, when he invaded this country or from some harlot, who received titles and pensions ns tho rewards of her shame. He deems it better to be the off spring of some court snouk, or fool, or pimp, than oi an nonest man. with mm "blood is everything, a title of nobility o tummum bonum of life, and a long rent-roll the ne plus ultra of sublunary buss, lie looks upon the People ns beings to be petted, and patronized, and treated like lubberly schoolboys who can neither think nor act for themselves, but require the assis-tunco of a lord, or an earl, or a duke. He be lieves reform to mean revolution, and never is nny schemo proposed for the benefit of the na tion than lie solemnly and foolishly raves about the subversion of our ancient institutions, the danger of tho State, and the lamentable degen eracy ot the present age, which nothing will satisfy but progress and reform. In short, he does not believe in progress he thinks the institutions of a by-gone uge adapted to the requirements of the present day and that things should remain as they aro. Entertaining such views, what respect can be entertained for such a miserable light in this go-a-hcad age? Antiquated, however, as (heir opinion may be, they yet form a very imperious and influential portion of tho population of this country. In Parliament especially in tho House of Lords this form ot political belief is very extensively represented by the most nristocratio and wealthy portion of the highest clnss of society. To this form of political creed, most, if not all the so-called aristocracy arc adherents, and ns, by ono of the most nbsurd principles of our constitution, tho head of each family of the aristocracy have a vote in the House of Lords. their influence is brought to benr in thnt House by detriment of the public zeal, by putting their voto upon measures which have been pas sed by the House ot Uommons. Their ancient, spirit has not yet departed from them, and if proof's aro wanted they could be found in the narrow-minded bigotry which they have during the past few years displayed in rejecting again nnd again, after it had been passed by tho House of Commons, the bill to enable Jews to tako their seats as members of Parliament the bill to legalize marriage with a deceased wife's sister, and many other acts ot opposition which could bo named. Tho Conservatives. Under this title the tory party aro generally known; though for what reason they designate themselves by this an. pellation, it would perhaps puzzle nny of them to tell. The Liberal Conservatives aro political an omnlics. They have no fixed principles. Liko tne orntinornincus paraaoxm they are or no species of hitherto known animals, but arc mi generis. 1 hey protess to be tones, nnd generally vote with that body, but they often lend their support to the liberal or progressive party. Al though they havo sprung into existence within the lust tew years they number among their runks several eminent and influential names. The Pcelites, as their name implies, nre the followers ot the Into lamented Sir Robert Peel They are conservatives, with the exception that they are free traders, and support the policy luiu uown uy uieir leaner, inougli not very numerous, they number in their ranks one or two of tho most prominent politicians of the uny. The W iikis. In a bygone ngc, when reform was supposed to bo svnonymous with nunrchv nnd revolution, the Whigs were tho unflinching advocates ot progress. To them nro assigned some of the most important political changes of the present century. To them wo owe the Re. form act of 1852, tho repeal of tho Tost nnd Corporation acts, the Catholic Emancipation act, and many others oi a less known nature 1-or tiicse nets the peoplo of this country ar gratelul and will probably hold the niimo of this party in respect. But, unfortiinntcly, Whigs and Whigism have ono great, very great defect. They have not kept, up with the spirit of the age. Their political opinions nre no more advanced at this day than they were thirty years ago. Many of them consider the Reform act to havo been n measure of "finality." Such, at least, was the opinion expressed by tho chief of the party Lord John Russell, and it is the adherence to this dogma of political creed with a blind and stupid fatuity which has tended very much to bring them into contempt. From being Progressionists they havo nctually become Obstructions. Liko old dotards who' havo enacted their allotted part on tho stnge of lite, thev refuse to quit the sccno of their former triumphs, end linger on the boards to impede the action of the other performers. They are tolerated, out of respect to the part which they have already played; but they are nevertheless considered to bo a boro, and if they would make their exit into the green-room of private life or into the eternities of futurity (as Carlyle has it) their absence would be deemed a blessing rather than n curse. No party has perhaps been more fiercely abused, or has more frequently afforded a butt for ridicule or a subject" for sarcasm. Tho phrase, the "Heaven-born Whigs," will long be remembered; Doctor Johnson's savage diction "Sir, the devil was the first Whig," will sometimes be quoted by enemies; but we believe that Daniel O'Connell's expression: "The base, bloody and brutal British Whigs," will be remembered so long as the Agitator or the Whigs retain a political existence. But let us not forget their services, while we condemn their faults. A poet has written: "Man's evil actions arc Inscribed on brss Ilia good one's In the morning dews of grass." Let us not follow this uncharitable dogma. Let us cast around them the pall of forgetfulness, and bum their faults and short-comings in the grave of oblivion. Til k Advanced Liderals or Radicals. Of all tho political parties that exist in this country this possesses the most enlightened views. To give an explicit definition of their creed is a task of some difficulty, ns great diversity of opinion prevails among their ranks; but perhaps the following will be found to be pretty near the mark. They believe in a wide extension of tho suffrage to what extent it would be difficult to sny, as many of them arc not agreed as to the precise point nt which, in this case, the line should be drawn. They desire that every religious body should support its own ministry, and that it should be independent of support by the State. They wish education to be wide spread among the poorer classes of community, in order that nt some future day they might be enabled to possess the right of voting for members of Parliament. They are in favor of vote bv ballot. They are strenuous advocates for Reform in Parliament, in the criminal code, in the bankruptcy laws.in the administration of justice, and in fact, in everything where abuses exist and here reform is needed. To every measure, al so, which promises to be for the benefit of this country, they lend their most energetic support. liuidcu by nn enlightened philanthropy, they are the only party which endeavors to comprehend the "signs of the times," and to endeavor to make the constitution nnd laws of the coun try harmonize with the requirements of the present age. As a party, they are not very numerous, but they comprise among their ranks the names of some of the most eminent men of the ngc. John Bright and Thomas Milncr Gib son may be called the leaders; and as they ad- vociuo views most in accordance with the opinions of a very large section of the people of this country they nre more popular among the lower classes than all the others put together. the Liberals may be considered the connect ing link between the Radicals and the Whigs. They are are all in favor of progress, but not to such an extent as the last named party. At present their ranks nre in a state of great dis order. They are without union, nnd act with out concert of any kind. They are, consequently, by no means so powerful ns they ought to be, and as their numbers warrant. Without a leader, and devoid of fixed policy, or political creed, they do not know their own strength. With united action, and acting under the advice and guidance of a competent lender, this, the most numerous party in the House of Commons, could carry or defeat any measure which may be brought before them. At times they put forth all their strength, but without some definite ob ject placed before their view, their efforts will be wasted upon the frivolous and the absurd: v A Smuggler's Narrative. "We shall be, my dear madam," said I to a fellow passengor in the Dieppe boat, taking out my watch, but keeping my eye steadily upon her, "we shall be in less than ten minutes at the custom houso." A spasm a flicker from the guilt within glnnced over her countenance. " You look very good naturcd, sir," stammered she. I bowed, and looked considerably more so in order to invite her confidence. "If I was to tell you a secret, which I find is too much to keep to myself, oh, would you keep it inviolable?" " I know it, my dear madam I know it already," said I, smiling; " it is lace, is it not?" She uttered a shriek, and, yes, she hnd got it there among tho crinoline. She thought U had been sticking out, you sec, unknown to her. "Oh, sir," cried she, "it is only ten pounds' worth; please to forgive me, and I'll never do it again. As it is, I think I shall expire." "My dear madam," replied I sternly but kindly, " here is the pier, and the officer hns fixed his eye upon us. I must do my duty." 1 rushed up the ladder liko a lamp-lighter; I pointed out that woman to a legitimate authority; I accompanied her upon her way, in custody, . to the searching-house. I did not see her searched, but I saw what was found upon her, and I saw her fined and dismissed with ignominy. Then having generously given up my emoluments as informer to the subordinate officials, 1 hurried off in search of tho betrayed woman to her hotel. I gave her luce twice the value of that she lost, I paid her fine, and then I explained. " You, madam, had ten pounds' worth of smuggled goods about your person ; I had nearly fifty times t hut amount. I turned the informer, madam, let mo convince you, for the sake of both of us. You have too expressive a countenance, believe me, and the officer would have found you out at all events, even as I did myself. Are you satisfied, my dear madam ? If you still feel aggrieved or injured by me in any way, pray take more lace; here is lots of it." We parted the best of friends. Foreign paper. Ono of our New York cotemporaries draws the following portrait of a New York " rowdy." It is a life-like picture. It is strange that the government of New York should tolerate such specimens of savagcism: The simple truth is and the sooner we look it in tho fnce the better thnt there is not in the whole world a beastlier animal than the New York "rowdy." There is the fact not a pleasant one certainly but there is the fact. We bclievo that nn unprotected female would be safer among the savage tribes of America or Africa than in the streets of New York. Compared with a thorough-paced New York "rowdy," the Digger Indian rises into celestial altitudes of refinement, courtesy and humanity. It is all very well to tnlk of reforming such fellows as Patrick Gunning or Archibald Brown, but where will you begin to reform? When a man breaks his head you can trepan it, when he fractures his bones you can set them, when he is sick you can give him medicine; hut when a human being Is absolutely and completely rotten, there is an end to him, nnd the sooner he is shiilllcd under ground the bctler. Such boys ns these, such hoys ns ravished poor Teresa Spitz-lcin, a few months ago, have reached a maturity of wickedness in their teens which seems to defy kindness, expostulations, appeals to pride or appeals to pity. You might as well reason with a bull-dog. Indeed you had much bettor. All ;his is sad, very snd indeed ; but all this is nev- enneiess iruc. very Humiliating it 18 quite a stunning refutation of theories too numerous to mention, and not worth mentioning, if they were fewer.
