 Ofthese Inconsistencies our two great par ties can have little to say in reprOof of each
 other. The charge on either side can be much lmoraseasily retorted than repeIlcd.--
 Our collisions of principle have been litt!e,. very little more than conflicts for place; and in inc meautime the nation has been advanc- ing with gigantic stridHs, in population, wealth and nuyver. That this has been under the blessing ofProyidence,ther of result ofthe system, no one can doubt who will compare the con- dition of the country under the Confectionery of State sovcreiguties, and under the Consti-
 tuition ordained by the people of the United
 States. Yet no Ons of the administrators Ot
 the general government has ever given entire satisfaction to the whole people. Fartlal dIs- contents have ait different times been prevalent in different portions of the Union and The degree eOfinAamfnation wi:h which they nave ragged, has seldom been proporti0He9 10 sne 1 magnitude of their exciting causes. Wash l ingfon,s administration encountered an insur- l recti0n in arms. His immediate successor
 was npbraided for sparing thelife of convict

Many attemps have been made to array separate, and even combined State sovcreignfies. against the government and \ laws of the Union and even at this day, the | people of tWenty-three of our States might l shudder at the imminent danger of dissOlu- I ton of the Union, but for the anticipation
 that the most ardent instigators to that catas- 1 trophe at this time, may, on recovery from
 the angry passions by which they are stimu-

 records of their delasion; wonder that they should ever have been suspected Of dlslOyaiey
 to the Union, for which even now they pry- ', fess an naffcctionate regard and, if their words and deeds should be too faithfully remember l ed by their country, recur to the acknOwledg- ment of the poet, and exclaini,

 It is not to be expected that the present, or any future administration, will ever prove sat. isfactory at once to the whole people.

 Cholera.--Ncxt to the all-engrossing topics 0fpoltical cOnynlsion and revolutionary str0g- gle, there seems to be nothing in the accounts from Europe more interesting to humanity. than the ravages offhis fearful pestilence and althOughsat this distance we may feel no live Her emotion in regard to it than that of curi-l osity, we may well desire to know something of a malady, which, commencing at a point nearly the farthest possible removed from our selves, has already trayersed nearly one half of this mighty interval, and seems destinsd to
 be arrested in it's progress only by the ocean l which divides us from Europe. The com
 mencement of that cholera which issnOw rav-

 it showed itself in Jessore, a city contained.
 within the delta formed by the Gapges, and less than an hundred miles from Calcutta ] From this point 1t spread through the govern

 Coast to Cape Commorin, and finally into the
 interior of the peninsula of HindostaD. In 1915, 1t reached Bombay ]; and from that pe- | riod 10 the present, has never ceased to be present in one or more of the provinces of l British India. In I 82O, it had reached Hum Elialeh ehMountains son the north. and ilrifs pro-
