The following remarks, extracted from
an article in the North American" on the
intelligence by the Cambria, appear 10 af-
ford matter for very serious consideration.

change Of the foreign and domestic policy Of the
Government is a revolution more important than
any mere substitution OF one set Of rulers for

strike the most casual observer that the thread Of
our destinies has, by some mysterious agency,
