THE JEWS.

An article in Blackwood, concerning
the Jewish nation refers to their statistics Of
population as one ofthc most singular cir.
cumstances connected with the history Of
that remarkable people. While other
races have gone on increasing and multi.
plying, Europe in general having doubled
its population within the last hundred years,
and England having nearly tripled hers
within the last half century, the ratio Of
increase in America being still greater---the
number of the Jewish people do not seem
to have been enlarged. 1t is estimated
that about three millions entered Palestine
from the wilderness the population of
judea probably never exceeded four mil.
lions. According to the computation Of
the German statistics, the aggregate of the
race now is about the same as in the time
of Moses-that is about three millions.
The writer adds:
"This extraordinary fixedness in the
midst of almost universal increase, is doubt
less not without a reason-if we are even
to look for it among the mysterious ope-
rations which have preserved Israel a
separate race, through eighteen hundred
years. May we not naturally conceive
that people thus preserved without ad-
vance or retrocession dispersed, yet COM
bined broken, yet firm without a coun-
try, yet dwelling in all !; without nation,
|yet united as no nation ever was before
or since-has not been appointed to offer
this extraordinary contradiction to the

pounded to you this morning, have ap-

awakened you to the extent Of its enormi
ty. fcan hardly suppose, that even here
tofore. you have been ignorant Of these
things.--That you should wiHuly, and
with your. eyes open, rush headlong into
the dangers which now surround you, and
upon the fate which now awaits you for
the palty profit you derived from your:
fraud, exhibits degree Of hardihood and
boldness in the commission Of crime, which
marks you as unfit for society, and justifes
the, community, whose laws you have yio-
lated, in cutting you off from amongst
them. Such is the doom, which. it is my
duty to pronounce, as the Judgment of the
law, on the verdict of an honest Jury,
whom you selected as your triers YER
dict which their sense of justice required,
and their conscience confirmed I; verdict
which the evidence warranted, the Court
approves, and the public voice sustairs.
IF in approaching this crisis of your fate,
amidst the solemn stiffness which pervades
this hall, I, who am but the organ Of the
law, should experience emotions Of pain
full excitement what must be your feelings,
when you reflect, that even whist the
accents Of my voice are falling on your

your fate is suspended BY a thread which
word ofmy mouth may sunder that

That you have been, from your youth
upward, doer of evil, there IS. much
reason to apppehend. During these So

no circle of respectable friends, affording |
you their countenance and support, if they
could afford you no testimony, evincing
by their interest In your fate. that you have
not forfeited, by former misconduct, alt

Where memaids dwell and gold fish rove,
Amidst the bones of shipwreck'd dead? 70
Else dost thou fly some monsters wrath,
Whose way along the dark seas foam,
Sweeps like the south wind by thy path,
Or thy more calm and tranquil home7

What spirits Of the Vastly deep,
Thro' watry realms, for woal or wo,
The reign of peace or terror keep7
Where art thou bound, old man Of war!

What magnet points thy polar star,
Safe DER the wave and thro the gale?
Is it for thee Gala day,
And Thetis with her laughing crew,
Has seiz'd thy bark, whilst dashing spray,
Show courtier nymphs of silv'ry hue?
But yonder comes the sign of storm!
The ripple on the horizon,
Spreading its paws Of monster form
It's voice roar-death's orison!
All sail is struck, and yon slight bark
With fairy crew is banish'd now,
Where mermaids trim the light house spark,
And watch the low descending Prov.

REMINISCENCFS.

10 1900, the Adams Electors we're chosen in
this State, by a majority Of about 200. The
Spring following. tle0Il Arthur Fsnner dem
ocrat, was elected Governor by a majority Of
about 1900, though violently opposed by Gov.
Greene. Ia 1929 August Tristan Burges,
federalist. was elected TO Congress by major
ity Of about 2sO0 over Samuel Eddy democrat.
Burges had a majority in every town in the
State, eIcep, two, viz: FosTEn and TIvEh-
TON. 10 1880. James Fenner, DEmocRAr. was
elected Governor, WITHOUT OPPOSITION. In
1881 Lemuel II. Arnold was elected Governor,
by majority Of about 800. In 1892. there
was no election. And in 1888. John Brown
Francis, was elected Governor, by a msjonty
Of about $50.
Such have been some Of the remark able po-
lilcal changes in this State, brought about by
one cause and another; and the tremendous
whig victory this year we take to be the " dark
est time Just before day"
We cory the above from the Providence
Herald, and we believe that it refutes the asser-
ton made by the Journal, that their present
majority is the largest ever obtained in this
State 10 a contested Gubernatorial election

NEW YORK CITY ELECTION.

The City Of New York has nobly sustained

increased majority for the Democratic candi-

THIRTY SEVEN since the last charter cleo

however gives the semi official return, and makes
Varian's majority 1868.
We congratulate the Democracy of New
York upon this victory over their rightly nam

tally admire and honor the LAGoKiSG MEN Of
the city for so firmly evincing their regard for
principles, when so many attempts were made
TO induce their abandonment, by specious up

done well and nobly, and by their frmnsss now
have undoubtedly done much to ensure for
themselves good wages and STEADY EMPLOY

A FEW REASONS

WHY THE WnIGs GAINED THE ELEcTIoS IN
RuoDE ISLAND, BY AN IrcREAsED MAJORITY.
In this Bank ridden State. the greater pro
portion Of the freemen are Directors and Stock
holders 10 Banks, Of which, there are more in
this state, than in any other in the Union, in
proportion to its size and population Yes,
more than double. They now have, and have
had, the power OF electiDg men to our state leg

please; regulate the banks as they think prop
ments, Just when it suits their conveniencs.-
Witness the late acts Of the Legislature. y
Talk about regulating the currency. and you
Immediately set their whole influence in array
against you. They care no more about Gen.
Harrison, than they do for his Lrg Cabin 1t
is their sovereign will and pleasure, TO manu-
(scture suy amount OF bank rags they please,
aud pass them on the people as a currency;
and when any Of the Directors wish to specu-
late and monopolze the market, in any thing,
they tell the people they cannot discount for
them, aud press them to pay in, all they owe
the banks, thereby cramping, and deranging
their business. Such. are the men, who rule
this State; and am not surprised at their in
creased majority, under such influence. They

ed to an eIhorbtant price, and keeping The price

bitant amount. The poor laborsr, when prio es
arc low, has his wages Immediately reduced &C e.

Legislature, which will make laws TO keep up

game is followed up and the farmers. echan-

as well as " Loco Focos." know il: but what

election Why should such things De. The
people OF Rhode Island, are. in their principles
