Parry INFLUENoE-We are sometimes lost in
amazement says one Of our contemporaries when
we contemplate the infatuating influence Of par
ty domination. 1t seems to blunt mems per-
ceptions, SO that they cannot distinguish be-
tween right and wrong. It gangrcnes the mental
vision, causes people to see everything through CO.
lored glasses. II so distorls things, that men often
fail to discern the difference between party and
try; while bndly following the lead of one, they
SO infatuated to think they are serving the other
More than this, 1t seems to render its votaries un
conscious Of what kind of government they live I'M
der. From what we see and hear, we are forced Ia
conclude that many OF our citizens regard our Presi-
dent us the government and his administration as
the country.

Of Mexico, the substance Of which has been already

places for the safety Of Gen Lane, whose command,

which the volunteers who proceeded them had suffer-
ed from indulgence in dissipation and gambling md
the disregard of military ORDER would be Immediate

Mexicans have murdered oil the Americans in Chi

CONG IT ON TIcK.-A feat unprecedented in the
annals of telegraphing says the CINCINNATI Signal
was achieved few days since by Mr.. Barnes, recent
ly of the Albany and Buffalo line, but now perra-
nently employed by Mr.. O'Rely, in the Office in this
city. The feat alluded to was communicating and
receiving dispatches to and from Louisville without
the use Of the registering instrument. II was done
by the ear, listening to the faint music produced by
the motion of the small perpendicular magnet in the
second circuit, and which is not louder than the
ticking of u watch The communication was thus
kept the whole day. Mr. Barnes is one of the most
skfu operators in this country if not in the world
md is invaluable acquisition to the Western line.
