rests, of the people among whom his lot is cast.
The time was, perhaps, not far distant when the
West, by accumulating a capital of its own, would
have shaken off the trammels of the Eastern specu-
lators, and pursued a social and commercial policy
of its own. The great civil war has put a
momentary stop to this movement by making a
loud appeal to the patriotism of Union, and rousing
its passions against the Sluthern rebellion. Al-
ready, however, the West thinks it has given
sufficient proofs of its unbounded devotion. It
thinks that the war has lasted long enough, and the
victory been carried already beyond those limits
which by causing it to weigh heavily on the South
make it tell with no less fatal effects against the
West. There are not many who speak in this strain
among the educated people—nay, the talk is all the
other way. I hear nothing but stubborn determi-
nation to crush, to lay waste, to annihilate the
South. The West, however, must sooner or later
peroeive that cutting off ones nose to spite one's
face is an improvident course. Up to this time
there is a perfect sar drunkenness in the West no
less than in the East. But the moment of sober-
ness is no less sure to come. The Democrats are
biding their own turn. We have rather disquieting
news concerning the weather and the crops in these
Western districts. A very sharp frost spread over
all the State of Illinois and the adjoining North-
Western districts on the 29th last. According to
the particulars that come in from all quarters, it
seems that the damage occasioned to the corn, the
vines, the gardens and orchards, has been both very
extensive and serious.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

DONCASTER RACES-THURSDAY.

The features of "off" days at great meetings, be they
Epsom, G odwood, or Doncaster, are very similar. A com-
parative quiet and repose pervade the locale. The excite-
ment of the day before begets the reaction of to-day, and
we enjoy a calmer spirit, and (losses taken into considera-
tion) a more philosophical frame of mind.

The moor to-day presented a marked contrast, Lithe very
small attendance of the masses, to the vast crowds that
thronged it yesterday. The weather continued fine, and the
disagreeable dust which the day before made seeing clearly
a difficulty was now absent.

The Zetland Stakes were an easy victory for Onesander,
who had the best of the race all the way; and the 10 sous.
Sweepstakes proved a discomfiture for the winner of the
Champagne, as Coast Guard won by four lengths, and Ely
was not placed. The Portland Handicap brought the large
field of 30 together, a hazardous number for so short a dis-
tance to select a winner from. The Ring made Poland,
however, the favourite, but the top weight gave the fielders
an agreeable surprise, Welland winning, after an excellent
race, in the last stride by a neck. Usher, in the Juvenile,
rewarded the backers by landing them safely, and was
bought in by his noble owner for 260 guineas.
Only Carnival and Vanessa put in an appearance for the
Eglinton Stakes, which Mr. Naylor's colt carried off cleverly.
A splendid race between Johnny Armstrong and Poly
nesia, for the Cleveland Handicap, was a bonne bouche re-
served for the finale of the day's sport, Newmarket walking
over for the Scarborough Stakes.

was headed by the favourite, who came on with a clear lead
to the Stand, where Sauterelle obtained the second place,
but without having a chance of reaching Lord Stamford's
colt, who won easily by three parts of a length, two lengths

Prince Arthur made play on the inside, closely attended
by Ely, Fille de l'Air, and Black Fawn, Coast Guard fol-
lowing next. They ran in these positions to the bend,
where the latter, who was repeatedly disappointed in get-
ting through, joined the leader, the pair running together
to the distance, where Challoner brought his horse to the
front and won in a canter by four lengths, a like distance
separating the second and third, a bad fourth. Dr. Rooke
trotted in last, bat did not pass the post.
