apprehcnded that the hostile Indians sweeping down
upon the American frontier, would take advantage OF

THE JEW s.

The present physical, moral, and social condition
OF the Jews must DC miracle. We can come TO no
other conclusion Had they continued from the
commencement OF the Christian down to the pre-
sent hour in some such national state in which we
find the Chinese walled off from the rest of the hu-
man family, and by their sclfshness on national
scale, and their Iepuson of alien elements resisting
every assault from without, in the shape of hostile
INVASION and from an overpowcrng national pride for
bidding The introduction of and foreign customs
we should not see so much miracle interviewer with
their existence. But this is not their stae-far from
it, They arc neither a united or independent nation,
nor parasitic province. They peeled and scat
tered into fragments, but like broken gobules Of
quicksilver, instinct with cohesive power ever
claiming sfiniiy and ever ready to anal gamate.-
Geography, arms genius, politics, and foreign help,
do not explain their existence time, and climate
and customs, equally fail to unravel it. None Of
these are, or can be, springs Of their perpetuity-
They have spread over every part f the habitabe
globe have lived under the reign OF every dynasty ;
they have shared the protection Of just laws the OPP
preston OF cruel ones, and witnessed tho rise and
progress OF both they have used every tongue, and
lived in every latitude The SHOWS Of Lapland have
chill, d, and the of Africa scorched them They
have drank Of the Tiber the Thames, the Jordan,
the Mississippi. In every country, and in every de-
gree Of latitude and longitude, we find Jew
1t IS not SO With any other race. Empires The most
illustrious, have fallen, and buried men that con-
structed them, but the Jew has lived among the
runs living monument Of indestructibiIity. Per
secutIon has unsheathcd the sword and ii htcd The
iagot; Papal superstition and Mosiem barbarism
have smote them with unsparng icrocIty; penal re-
scr pts and deep prejudice have visited them the
most ungencrous debasement-and Notwithstanding
all they survive.
Like their own bush on Mount Horeb Israel has
continued III the flames, but unconsumed. They are
the arstocracy Of sculpture, let off coror es-prnces
in degradation Babylonian, Theban, Spartan,
Athenisn Roman, are names known in history
only their shadows alone haunt the world and flick
err It's tablets. Jew walks every street, dwels in
every capital trayese5 every exchange and relieves
the monotony of the nations Of the earth The race
has inherited the heirloom OF immortality, incapable
Of extinction or amalgamation. Like streamlets
from common head, and composed Of waters of
peculiar nature they have flowed along every stream
without blending with it, receiving its favor, and
traversed the surface Of the globe amid the lapse of
many GESTURES, distDct-alone. The Jewish race
at this day is perhaps the most striking seal Of the
truth Of the Sacred Oracles. There is no possibility
Of accounting for their perpetual isolations their de-
pressed but distinct being any grounds save those
revealed in the records Of truth-Frarer's Magazine

An ORGANIZED BASpITrI The Boston Times
states that there exists in the vicinity of Albany New
York, in the Potroon's woods, on the Shaker road a
regular organized band Of misc-eants, who are link
cd together in secret society by the mos, fearful
and binding oatbs. The day time is passed by these
ruffians in playing cards, dancng, drinking and
habtng with lewd female associates; do they
emerge from their covert until long after night fall
and then sally forth to rob the unprotected traveller
and thus procure means TO maintain the onerous ex-
pense Of their shameless and debauched existence
The police il appears, are afraid to interfere, well
knowing they would be met by an armed and sangui-
nary resistance.

MR.. BLAIR,S DEMOCRACY,

In 1925 General Jackson received 90 electo
raj votes for the Presidency, and Mr.. Adams Sd
Yet Mr.. Adams, The minority candidate, wa.
elected President through The nsrumentalily
and inlIgues Of Mr.. Blair.
In lS4D Mr.. Tyler received the electoral
votes Of nineteen States, and Mr.. Van Burer
those Of seven.
Yet Mr. Blair, true TO his old vocation, or
poses the popular voice, now as in 1925, de-
nounces Mr. Tyler as traitor to Democracy
and continues to sustain the minority candidate
on the ground that the People inflicted wrong
upon Mr.. Van Buren,, by preferrag another to
him :!
This, reader, is Mr.. Blsr's Democracy.

THE MYSTERIOUS BRASS PLATES-ON1GIN
OF THE ABORIGINES OF AMERICA

VI he ADONl(TlNEO Of AMEhlCA.
Our readers, doubtless, remember seeing time
since a floating paragraph stating that some brass
plates, inscribed with hieroglyphc characters, had
been found in mound somewhere in Illinois. On
the minds OF the many, no doubt, it made serious
impression. 1t seems however, that this discovery
may be the one link wanting to connect the Abort.
gnes of America with their Asiatic ancestorsl A
gentleman, recently from Illinois, few days since
| called upon u.s. bring ng with him fec SmiEe Of
these plates, with authentic account of their dis
coyery. There were six brass plates, bell-.haped,
and some three inches long, with hieorogyphic wri-
ting upon them, found in mound of Illinois in this
| manner:-The mound is near Undertook, Pike
county, and was oponed, we suppose, from curiosity.
Some bones were found, and these SO decomposed,
that they mouldered away Below, were found these
plates, hung in iron ring. But this ring was SO
oxydized, that it too fell TO pieces, and reduced
to rust The brass plates remained, and contained
what seemed to be writing, descriptive Of the per-
| sons who were entombed or of the events meant to
be cOmmemoratcd.
Now, the first question undoubtedly is-are these
facts authentic? Were the plates found? In such
place, and Nth these impressions! The paper
which contains the fac SMILES, contains also tue
thcate OF the person who found them, and of twelve
other persons, who, told, farmers of The
neighborhood and who describe the manner in
which the digging was made, ond the manner in
which the plates were discovered. We suppose the
tacs are SO, and at all events this very certificate
affords the means of ascertaning, by examining per-
sons in the neighborhood.
The next question is, what are these characters
Are they like any other characters in the world p
We are told (wi,hout pretending to know that some
oil these characters the ancient Chinese Tbs il
fac, capable OF being perfectly ascertained. Sup
pose It be So That pates deposited in mound Of
the West contained ancient (not modern) Chinese
characters, used in Asia three thousand years since
and that these had been long buried in the earth
that the iron ring which bound them had rusted
away-what follows' 1t seems to US that it would
carry with it the inev able conclusion "a conclusion
which all priori reasoning arrives a) that the abo-
part of Asia, and instead ef progressing through
the country, from north to south, erected the 20
mounds and forfcations-fnally settling in Mexico,
where the Spaniards found them semi-civized, with
all the characteristics OF the general Asalic family.
IL the facts stated above be authenticated this con-
cuson is inevitable, and the long deficient link Of
evidence is found.

EXECUTIVE PATRoNAcg.-It is great error, says
the Newburyport Herald, TO suppose there is any
danger of Executive patronage ever being made ca
pabe Of controlling elections in the United States
Even if we should suppose every one of the eighteen
millions of people who iDhabt the United States to
be vens the patronage Of the Executive is not large
enough to buy in thousand. For one whom you
content by bestowing an office, there are ten whom
you disappont The man whom you turn out of Of

the you put in will be active in his friendship
Besides this, the people generally are jealous of the

Two Of the late failures of The Southern

which horses tainted on the road several times

H. The Clay editors may rest satisfied Of one
thing. The Democrats will not crafty the Wing
party so much TO nominate Martin Van Buren
again for the Presidency, whom know the Wing
editors from the editor OF the Iniegencer down
ward, exceedingly anxious should be again put in
nomination by the National Democratic Convention
Of May, 1874 The Democrats have no desire to
renew discussion in relation to the MILLIONS or DE-
rALcATIoss the METALLIC CURRENCY QUESTION and
THE 81 MILLIONS ANNUAL ExpENprruRss which
would in the event of Van Burcns nomination, be
again brought up in deadly array against them as
Clay party should lay such Alttering JUNCTION
to their souls. man, responsible for none of these
things, and against whom such old and wide spread
preudiccs exist, will be, in due time, placed in nom-
nation, who will sweep the with Sc. 1t
should, however, never for moment be forgotten
by the democratic party of the country that the only
hope left to the Clay Wings is, that Van Buren, who
has not probably gained hundred friends in the
whale Union, since lS40 when he " as in a minority
Of 100000 in the country, while tens OF thousands
who supported him THEN arc opposed to him VOW
viii again be their Presidential opponent in l8i4-
They think that in such event, by Withdrawing
Clay, and uniting the whole opposition to Van Buren,
upon some moderate man they can, by appealing to
the old grounds OF contest again rally before and
they do not much in their calculation under such
circumstances. But the leading, sagacious unlram-
melled Democrats Of the country are too shrewd to
give them the game in this manner. They perceive
the great anxiety Of the Wings that Van Buren,
should be again nominated, and tboy will take warn.
ing season to avoid the reefs and rocks upon which
the Democratic cause was wrecked in 1870.
