hat Uranus suffered perturbatons in his orbit, for
which they could not account by any known cause
Of disturbances. They eonjeeturcd indeed, that Il
might be owing TO the attraction Of planet out
upon the confines Of the system perhaps, but which
was considered beyond their reach.
A frenchman takes up the subject in his closet,
and there with the perfection Of mathematical skill,
creates his Hypothetical planet gives it mass, as
signs an orbit, and period Of revolution to il and
then sets il in motion at distance inconceivably
remote.
He tries his problem, varies his conditions, and
tries again. At last the position, mass, orbit, mo-
on and place such that is attraction satisfies the
anomalies Of Uranus, Astronomers astonished
at his depth Of research, and amazed with his re-
suits. He tells those at Berlin where TO turn their
telescopes; they point them according TO his drec-
tons, and the new planet ale yenier' is there
have had occasion before 10 admire the accom-
plishments Of this Sapani, displayed among other
occasions in predicting the transit of Mercury lin
May, ls45) across the disk Of the Sun. The Eng
lish Nautical Almanac. the Paris and Berlin Ephi-
merides, all differed among themselves as TO the
beginning, duration, and end of this transit
Seeing the discrepancies among such authorities,
M LIE Verrier, from new set Of tables pre- pared
by himself, made his predictions, which differed
from all the rest and were confirmed by our
observations in a remarkable manner.
The probable distance Of this new planet from
the earth is not less than three thousand millions
of miles, and its period Of revolution upwards OF
two hundred years, perhaps nearly three times that
Of Uranus. Its discoyerer thinks II the larger Of the
two. H.F. ~ t

dom,--nothing like it since Solomon's famed
decision to divide the child to ascertrln It's pa

this plasterment of praise where perhaps
prase is least deserved, is expected to be dutl-
fully agreed to by the members Of the party
the good honest fellows whose votes come so
happily into play on the day ofthe election.
We are democrats, from conviction,-a hrm
conviction, of the superiority Of our partys
principles. We believe those principles more
in accordance with the Constitution, with re-
publicanism and the inalienable rights OF the
People. But to the principles only are we de-
voted they constitute the life the soul OF par
ty, and man is only the instrument by which
they are made to operate for the public good
The public servant, from the President down,
is merely an assistant to carry out the great
ends contemplated BY those principles. Does
he, or they, dare neglect it, and will the press
be silent, through dread Of partizan ProscrlP'

from the hazard of acting nobIy and lndePend'
emily it betrays the principles of its party
though it may be the willing slave of its men,
and it covers that party with odium, while 1t
is often mainly instrumental in bringing on
shameful and unexpected defeats
AS for us, we adhere to our party, our pTin'
cipes, and care not a feather for the men.
Principles never die the effects of their ope.
ration are felt through centuries Man is but
the creature Of generation; he is. known to
posterity only by his principles, and therein
consists all his boosted Immortality and fame
Here, then, is our position, aud we vii! main
tain it, though the whole legion oftmeservlng
poIticians should bark" the little dogs and
all, Tray, Blanche and Sweetheart" We
shall uphold our party when right-we will
be foremost to reprobate its course, when in
the wrong. We can never regard the Demo
cratic party as the mere machine for elevating
men TO place; and should it ever be prostltuted
to a purpose so venal, of which we have lit.
lie fear lille honest men remain in It's ranks
why all good Democrats will have to dissolve
their old connexions, and look for the spirit
and the principles of Democracy elsewhere.
