POLITICAL AfFINITIES.

There is an unerring instinct which leads
kindred minds TO mutual reliance, and prompts
Zach to adopt the sentiments, and yield ready Gre
dence TO tho statements of tn, other. Any one
who has glanced at the columns Of the ultra-loy-
al and anti-libcral newspapers Of tho British A
mcrcan provinces, during the past year, mu st
have observed how uniformly they resort TO the
federal or wing journals of the United States
for information relative to this country and how
even in their own enlightened illusions, they use
the cant phrases and assert tho everyday false
hoods of their fellows on this side tho line 45.n
"Tho infamous sub-treasury scleme," F" loco-fo-
co." Swan Buren, and his rabbe route" are with
them familiar almost as household words.
The Montreal Herald very naturally quotes the
following passage from the Albany Evening
journal, and makes it tho text for some very
characteristic comments:
"Thero is not government in the world so
corruptly and wrctchcdly administered as ours"

"In the United States thsro is Certainly
something in tho form OF government, in imi-

Its legislators consist of pugilists and murdcrers
men who neither fear God nor regard man,
whose ruling passions arc self and pelt,, and who
care not by what means they arc gratificd. Tho
people arc like their representatives, uncontrolled
by law, regardless OF treaties, and ignorant of
the nature of oaths."

We will quote another genuine federal sont-
ment from the Same paper:
"Nothing is moro disgusting, or shows, in a
greater degree, tho inherent vulgarity Of dcmoc-
racy, or the Inherent tendency Of democratic in
situtons to level virtue to vice. or responsibility
to infamy, than the uncoasing TRADES in the A
mcrican papers against monarchy and monarchi-
al institutions" 49, Ia, ss-ar., 4

correspondent in the city of New-York, whose
politics need not be doubted. Here is one of his
communications 1l SECS
