THE JEWS.

The present physical, moral, and social condition
of the Jews must be miracle. We come 10 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 hui
man family, and by their selfshness on national
SCALE and their repuIson Of alien elements resisting
every assault from without in the shape Of hostile
invasion, and from an overpowerng national pride for
bidding The introduction of and foreign customs,
we should not see much miracle interviewer with
their existence. But this is not their statefar from
it. They neither united or independent nation,
nor parasitic province. They are peeled and scat
tered into frsgmt nts but like broken globuIes OF
quicksilver, instinct with a cohesive power, ever
claiming affinity and ever ready to amalgamate.-
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 4 the habtable
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 the rise and
-reru-rn-s every laliude The SHOWS Of Lapand have
chld and the suns of Africa scorched them. They
have drank OF the Tlber, the Thames, the Jordan,
the Mississippi. In every country and in every de.
gree OF latitude and longitude, We find Jew
1t is not 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 Ddestructibility. Per-
seCutoD unsHe9thcd Tie sword and lighted The
fagot; Papal superstition and Moslem barbarian
have smo,c them with unsparing ierociiy penal re-
SCRIPTS and ecep prejudice have visited on them the
most ungeDerous debasement-and not landing
all they survive.
Like their own bush on Mount Horcb, Israel has
continued in the flames, but upconsumed. They are
the arstocracy Of sculpture, let off cororets-princes
in degradation. Babylonian, Theban, Spartan.
an Atbenian, Roman, are names known in history
only their shadows alone haunt the world and Ack-
or its tablets Jew walks every street, dwelIs in
every capital, traverses every exchange and relieve,
,he monotony OF the nations Of the earth The race
mas inherited the heirloom Of Immortality incspable
OF extinction or amagamaton. Like strcamlet,
from common head, and composed Of waters of !.
peculiar nature they have flowed along every stream
without blending with II, or receiving its flavor and

EXECUTIVE PArRoSAcG.-It is great error, says
the Newburyfort Herald, to suppose there is any
danger OF Executive patronage being made ca
pable of controlling elections in the United States
Even II we should suppose every of the eighteen
millions Of people who habit the United States to
be vena the patronage Of the Executive is not arg.
enough TO buy one in thousand. For one whom you
conten, BY bcstowing an Office, there are ten whom
you d'sappoint The man whom you turn out of Of
fee will probably be more jealous in his enmy than
the man you put in will be active in his friendship
Besides this the people generally jealous Of the
doings Of ofbce-holders. II requires great acknow-
lodged integrity and purity Of character in any man
who takes an Office under Government to enable him
TO retain all the political influence he had before.

THE MYSTERIOUS BRASS PLATES--ORIGIN
OF THE ABORIGINES OF AMERICA.

OF The ABOKlGlNES VI AMEhlCA.
Our readers, doubtless, remember seeing some time
since floating paragraph, stating that some brass
plates, Inscribed with hierogy phc characters, had
been found in mound somewhere in Illinois. On
the minds of the many, doubt, il made serious
impression. 1t seems, however, that this discovery
may be the one link wanting to connect the Abort
gines Of America with their Asiatic ancestors A
gentleman, recently from Illinois, few days since
called upon us, bringing with him fac simiiis OF
these plates with authentic account Of their dis
covery. There six brass plates, bell-shaped,
and some three inches long, with hieoroglyphic wr-
ting upon them found in mound OF Illinois an this
manner The mound is near Undertook, Pike
county and was opened, 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 il 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 commemorative
Now, the FIRST question undoubtedly is-are these
facts auihefhe? Were the plates SO found In such
a place, and With these Impressions The. paper
which contains the fac sm,les, contains also the GER
fcatc of the person who found them, and of twelve
other persons, who we told, are 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
fac are so, and at all events this very certificate
affords the Of ascertaining BY examining per-
sons in the neighboThood.
The next question Is, what are these characters
Are they like any other characters in the world ,
We told (without pretending TO know that some
of these characters the ancient Chinese This is
fact capable Of being perfectly ascertained. Sup
pose il be so. That ates deposited in a mound of
| the West contained ancient mot modern) Chinese
characters, used in Asia three thousand years since
and that these had been so long buried IN the earth
that the iron ring which bound them had rusted
away--what follows II seems to us that il would
carry with it the inevi able conclusion Ga conclusion
which all priori reasoning arrives at that the abo
rhymes Of tits country came over from the Chinese
part OF Asia, and instead Of progressing through
the country, from north TO south, erected these
mounds and fnriG-~A~~. G~~liy settling in Mexico,
Where the SPaniards found them semi-c,ilized with
al The characteristics Of the general Asatic family
IL the facts stated abuve be authenticated this con-
clson IS inevitable, and the long deficient link Of
evidence is found.

And weepelh when the flowers are dead,
And her sweet brook il dumb.
