To be serious however, for we doubt the proprlety
on second thoughts of closing these remarks without
some. solemnity, these events have made the hor'
rbe revelation, to the moral and enlightened people
of this country that the spirit which characterized
Robespierre and his blood ssociates in the history Of
France has been revived in this country, under
strange and singular auspices. AS one Of the signal
specimens of this horrible depraviy and demoraliza-
ton of portion of the press, annex the following
comment on recent events from one Of the bloody
| clique, published last Sabbeth day.
"The course of the Herald has been actuated by
similar motives; and il is difficult TO say which is the
more disgusting, the open proflisacy of this aban-
doned paper, or the twaddlng assumption OF sanctlty
of the Journal of Commerce. We should hardly have
alluded to this contemplate print were 1t not that we
were 80 strongly reminded oft by the principle OF as
sociaton-the ASSOCIATION of resemblance IN some
respects-of contrast in Others The Journal trades
upon piety-the Herald upon irreligion. Sceundre-
ism is the trump card of the one-hypocnsy OF the
other. Both are in the market. Both mirror the as
cendant politics of the moment whether whigism,
conservatism, or loeofocoism. Both are equally dis
trusted by their friends and desPised by their enomes

vine. And for this we are denounced. Horrible de-
pravity! miserable demoralization
What singular fate awaits this remarkable coun-
try. During the last few years, there has arisen in
this land two hordes of savages the one band attach
ed to the whgs-the other to the democrats. The
former, under the flag of modern honor have sought
TO establish code of blood, and system of private
murder; the latter under the cry of liberty seek to
destroy the rights of property-but both are demo
ralzed destructive, unpnnepied, and irrslgous and
leading to revolution, riot, and bloodshed. The one
are the locofoeos who seek lfe-the other the loco
focos who seek property.
Unless the people OF this country rise as one man,
guided by one moral impulse, our laws, institutions,
lnion religion and morals are on the brink of de-
'truction. We are on the edge of new era of bar
oarism-a second edition of the dark ages, when
blood crime rapine and violence may prevail over
the whole land. Beware beware, beware.
BALLS, BELLIES AND BEAvTy.-On Monday evening
we attended two balls-the one Complimentary
Ball given by the friends and pupils OF Mr.. Lucas at
Masonic Hall-and the other Fancy Ball. given by
Mr.. Cotton at Columbian Hall.
From ten to twelve we remained at Masonic Hall.

much gratihed-so much enraptured. The beauty OF
the young lades-ths gracefulness of their dancing
and the courtesy Of the committee cannot be for

graphic account of this elegant affair.
SO with the Fancy Ball. From twelve till two o.

with rapture on the sweet young grls-or saying
few words as / was introduced TO them. So CON-
plesy my poor heart upset by several fair ones at
the Fancy Ball, that hardly know yet whether
walk on my head or my heels. There is yet tu-
malt heaving and throbbng around the region of my
heart, which reminds me of the first hrob Of youthful
love- caught from young peri snco saw, on
beautiful Sunday afternoon, the soft west wind blow
ing among her dark ringlets as she was cambering
over the rocks Of the peucid river that skired the
village where attended school.
The pure and innocent emotions Of the heart are

/ was then fourteen and the tuma of delight on see-
ing beautiful young girl in picturesque attitude,
surrounded by romantic scenery, is akin to the same
throb which one feels in gazing over grace, beauty
and innocence GLAZING through the cotlllon or waltz
in Masonic or Columbian Halls.
Tomorrow the tumult-as the weather is now mo-
derate-may get calm. ! shall then give full and
amusing account Of these balls
