THE SOUTH SHOULD ROUSE UP.

Why is II that there are reading People in the
North, in proportion to the number of white popula
ton, than there is in the South In the item Of
paper readers, the People Of the South quarter
of q century behind their brethren Of the North.
The South incurs difficulties and dangers by not
keeping equal pace, in this respect, with other quar-
tiers. Without having regular channels for the rapid
dissemination Of intelligence, the interests of States
may very easily be encroached upon, If not some
times sacrificed in default Of previous agitation on
important questions, and in relation to which their
Representatives in Congress have decided lndca-
ton of the will of the constituency.
II is quite fereni 10 the North and East We
may commence the discussion Of any national ques-
ton in Washington on the first day of the month,
and by the end Of il have expression Of the public
sentiment it in every Eastern and Northern State.
We supposed and Southern members Of Congress
supposed that when we commenced the discussion Of
the Texas question, than year ago, the South
would rouse up, and " circulate the documents tx
tensivey. 1t was thought we would lose subscribers
10 the North and East TO considerable extent but
which would be compensated in the accessions from
the South But whaths been the result We have
lost no subscribers in the North and East, while we
have merely held our own in the South. And il
every county, district, and town, in New England
the question Of annexation has been fully discussed
while in the South, the People to be just rous
ing from their long slumber.
At this moment the Northern and Eastern States
are as well, if not better prepared, for the
ten Of Texas, than the Southern States Maine, fol
instance, is far n advance Of North Carolina. Con
necticut will likewise be one If the strong anne xator
States.

ROMANS OF THE BETTER AGES OF THE

MODERN TINES

REPUBblC-MEN OF SIMILAR STAMP IN
MODERN TIMES.
We remark often 10 the family succession
Of men of the same stamp. Even at remote genera
lions there repetitions Of similar character
Thus among the ancients the abb and the Emilsni,
were remarkable 10 Rome The family Of the Cor
nelii was still more distinguished. This family was
the stock OF the Patrcian families Of the LentuIi the
Cethegi, the Dolabellas and Others of which sprung
great men, ustrious in the better times Of the Re-
public for their ublic and private virtues although
In the ages Of its dogcnerscy Of them fell from
their high estate Of public virtue and service. OF
this stock also the Plebelan family of the Bab
10 which Rome indebted for men Of eminent Ia
lent and public usefulness In modern times, we find
10 England the Stanhopes, the Cavendishes, the Pet.
ties, the Burnets, the Gregories, and a number OF
others. In science, we may name the continent
the Ca-siois and the Bernoullis
Sometimes generations elapse, and probably in
some measure, from peculiar circumstances, there is
not the same development of character 1t then re-
appears In great superior lustre to that Of the
first distinguished of the family. In our own
country we have remarkable example Of the fac
we have mentioned. President Tyler traces his de-
scent to Wat Tyler, the insurrectonary blacksmith
In the days of English despotism under Richard II
Jack Cade and Wat Tyler have often been referred
to in arstocratic sneers, as men who had no
just purpose or enlarged designs. But justice j,
beginning to be done to these men who made
a stand against the expressions Of the times
in which they lived. The Edinburs Review, in an
article written in 1897 has spoken fairly of the cha
soter Of Wat Tyler. In him we find the same s,ur-
dy opponent Of monopoly and its claims that we
have found in his descendant in the eighth or ninth
generation, John Tyler-apd his descendant John

ELECTIONS IN ENGLAND.

About twenty years ago there was an instance of
bribery detected and the nobleman who was guilty
Of it punished The circumstances were as follows:
Sir NASSAU Lopes, the nobeman, was the owner and
patron of no less than nine boroughs the average
value which at that time was full thirty thousand
pounds sterling each. One Of the borougns was in
Devonshire, the name of which, | believe, was
Grimpston. Each of those boroughs sent one or
more members to Parliament, and that privilege
greatly increased their value. The nobleman above
mentioned was determined, if possible TO have GER
tam gentleman sent to Parliament by that borough in
Devonshire, and 10 compass his end he visited the
houses of the constituents, and gave the thirty
five pounds sterling each, and thus induced them to
give their votes to the gentleman whom he wanled
to be sent to Parliament. Some time after he took
his in the House, the bribery plainly discov-
cred, which was no sooner done than the nobleman
was arrested and put under very heavy bail to APP
pear at the coming asszes, 10 be held at Exeter, to
take his trial for bribery and corruption Accord
ingly he appeared, was tried, found guilty, and or
dered to appear at the Court Of Kings Bench to re-
ceive judgment. He appeared, and received
tence as follows To pay fine of ten thousand
pounds, TO be put in close confinement for three
years in Leicester prison. and the borough in which
he had committed the bribery TO be disffanchised
forever In addition to the above punishment, both
he and the gentleman illegally returned were eX-
PEELED the House. o that bribery and corruption in
all elections in the United States were punished in
like manner, or with as much severity then our
ballot-boxes would be soon purged
