 The false, il not fraudulent, principle upon which the American constitution Is founded is year by year sinking the republic in the nre. For instance, Il is the hw there that every fprt igner who comes has it ln hIs power, by means of declaration, to become hee citizen, and vote m tie elections. The Amer- cans thought this wise policy al the commencement of their independence, the principle that having stolen the property of their king, they had equal right to steal his other kings subjects IL is an adage that stolen property never thryes-never, m The end, benefits the thief; and the Americans have at length discovered this 10 be fact. For ma ny years, tens of thousands of Irishmen. Germans Poles, and other foreigners have landed on thei, shores, vast proportion of them in rags hungry, and homeless, ready of cou SC, 10 work, beg, fight or dc any thing for dish of potatoes, slice of pumpkin pie, and draught of sour cider. These men, have become electors; and they not only iormd Able in point of numbers, but, what is more to the pun pose every mans vote is worth from ten to fifteen dollars in all the large towns. They consequently carry all tlle elections, by force and fraud.

Republlcanism in every phase, democi aiic influences, with all their advantages and draw backs, the success and other wise of the g eat North American family experiment, since it cut all connexion wiih John Bu, and set up house keeping on its own account-all tbsse topIcs have passed in review. and have been treated at great length, with much ability, and. generally speak ing, with candor during the last few days.
 No country in the world puzzles .he political econ oniss and the speculators m abstract theories so much as the Un,ied States.
