THE RECENT ELECTIONS.

have been able 20 carry 80 many Of the
recent elections. Under the existing
circumstances with a President and
Congress Of the same party at swords
points, and a Cabinet breaking up IN a
quarrel. it is surprising that the Wings
have been able TO stand their ground so
well. What the Opposition have, how
ever, is but a barren sreptre. They
have some State Governments. some for
one year, Others perhaps for more-bul

lish artizans, where is the hope Of better
times. For years they have been hOping
for reform. In allowing the Tories to
gain the ascendency, they tried the very
last experiment. No temporiSing policy
will serve them longer.
The day that the people of England
rise up and with their own strong hands
take the rights they can never peaceably
attain--that day shall VIC think better Of
humanity. Endurance of wrong is no
vir ue. lie who submits to fraud is its
accessory. Man has no right to be
wronged. A small evil may be endured,
as the only means of attaining a great
good, as for the sake of a cure we may
submit to an operation; but then the evil
becomes portion of the good.
1t is unjust TO the people of England,
the descendants Of our common snces-
tors, to suppose that ten years more can
pass without revolution. Heaven grant
that it may be a bloodless Dne-but if
blood must be shed, in Gods name let it
flow! 1t we're better that the head of
every naughty and beautiful despot in
Great Britain should roll in the dust, than
that this state of things should continue.
What matter few headIess trunks, and a
few puddes Of blood, in comparison with
the freedom and happiness o. unborn

privilege at the feet of Justice, let the
sword Eo,ce it from her. The revolution

Have we no lesson, heref Are we re-
moved from all fear of similar fateS Ma
Monopoly and privilege are the constitu-
ents of Tyranny. They are as faithful
in Republic as a Monarchy. Already
we have SO much( Sf both as to produce
sume evil and threaten more. Monopoly
aud privilege have given England luxu-
riOGs arsocracy and starving people,
The same causes will produce thei same
effects here, and while we sympathise
with the condition of the oppressed, let US
never cease to oppose every encroach-
ment Of power here.
The people of the United States owe
it to themselves, and to the cause of uni.
versai humanity, TO maintain Equal Rights
against the smallest encroachments of
privilege, and the slightest exhibition of
the spirit of monopoly. If the people of
this count would save their children
from the fate of the wretched starving
artizans of Europe, let them grant no
charters Of exclusive privilege.

THE DOVER, BUT NOT THE

Mr.. Walsh writes from France that Ma.
dame Bretot, a thriving blanchsseuse, of
the Rue de BieVre, had fair daughter,
who like all her sex of the same age,
which was tempting Is, was very fond of
balls and other gaeties. The good mo-
ther was indu!gent but prudenr, and while
she permitted her Lively damseI TO attend
these scenes Of amusement, always took
care to accompany her. At SUNDAYS

Sasons, Mile. Eugenia met with a part.

the hearts Of both mother and daughter,
and the favored youth was received into
their domestic circle as a suitor.. The

the Savings Bank TO purchase a suitable
outfit for the young couple. Alas! for
the uncertainty of human projects! Two
evenings ago, when the expecting bride
and her mother returned home, after
day spent on their knees-not al church,
but in their washing barge, near the
Pont de rArcheveche-lhey found that
their dwelling had been broken open,
their locks forced, and not only the
1,000f, but every other article of value,
carried off. This was indeed a dire dis

sheet ofpaper, conspicuously affixed to
the chimney glass, on which was written,
in too legible characters-"I might have

MURDER OF Mn ADAMs.-The N. York
Commercial gives the following as Colts
account Of the circumstances under which
he killed Mr.. Adams:
He states that Adams came to his rooms
on the fatal afternoon TO dun him for an
unsettled account, about which there
was some dispute. They both sat down
at the table and settled the various items
except So. About this a dispute arose
between them, and high words ensued,
during which Adams called him ca liar. ="
Exasperated at this, he struck him, and a
scuffie theieupon eusued. Adams being
the stronger man Of the two. threw and
fell upon Colt and clutched him so viO-
lentIy by the throat that he was in dan
ger Of choaking.
Colt was then lying upon his back on
the floor, and as his hand was stretched
out, it came in contact with something
which he at once seized. but as he avers,
he knew not what it was) and finding Ad-
ams's grip still hard upon his throat, he
brougLt9shis hand round and struck him
on the back of the head: this it would
seem was hardly sufficient to stun him,
and he only rolled rather more on his side
Colt then struck him again, and the blow
must have fallen Oh the side Of The head
These wounds, dreadful as the subse
quent examination proved them to be
were not sufficient 10 release the prison
er's throat; but even in the agony of deatE
Adams still continued to hold firmly or
until Colt seemed to be at his last gasp
and then the dreadful blow was given OIL
the front of the head, which deprived one
wretched being of life, and released the
other from his grasp. Colt then arose
and found Adams a corpse.
For some time, he says, he remained
stupified with dread and horror-he knew
not what 10 do, and at length determined
TO make his brother acquainted with the
facts; for this purpose he went 10 his lod-
gings, but he was not at home. He then
went into the Park, and walked there for
some time, being unable to make up his
mind as to the best course TO he pursued
he at one time thought to tell some
friend. but knowing that some stains res.
