THINK OF IT.-What a degrading
attitude this country would be in, were the
federalists in power.-RegiSter.
Yes, think of ii! Had those whom the
Register calls "federalists" come into power
on the 4th of March, 1915, the annexation
of Texas, and with it all It's legitimate re-
shlts, would have been prevented. Instead
of being engaged in what Mr. Calhoun calls
this miserable war," we should now be
enjoying The blessings of an honorable
peace. Instead of contending with and
struggling against the injurious effects of
Mr.. Folks revenue tariff our mechanics
and manufacturers would now be prospering
under the benign influence of the protective
tariff Of 1912. Millions of money and thou
sands Of valuable lives would have been saw
ed to the country and to the world, which
have been worse than wasted by the head
long inefficiency Of those who, in an evil
hour, were chosen to rule over us. Had the
Wings been in authority, this country
would never have been placed in the "de-
grading attitute" which she now occupies
on the slavery question through the subser-
viency Of northern dough faces; and, far
Their, our national Executive would never
have asserted the Clear and unquestionable'
right of our Government to the whole of Ore
gon, and then, coward like, have sh,unk from
the responsibility which his assertion invol-
we'd. and surrendered 10 John Bull a large
ton of that territory. Yes, the people will
"think of it,; and for the result of their
"sober second thoughts" we refer the Re-
eister to the returns Of the next Election.

LOOKING FOR Guy FAWKES

| 1t has been the custom in England. since the
famous gunpowder plot. previous to the open
ing of Parliament, TO make formal search fer
similar plots, by which the worthy members
might possibly be troubled. The pract ice
now become ridiculous, generally gives rise To
some pleasantly. amidst which. as wisdom
and folly are often near ncigbors. sometimes
grave truths are 10 be found. The London
Times has the following reflections thc year
which are too true 10 be made Jest of:
q" Yesterday morning, at eleven o'clock. Sir
Augustus Clifford, MIR. Pullman, and Captain
Kincaid, with party Of the Ye men of Her
Majesty's body guard, made the usual search
in the vaults beneath the House Of Lord, pre-.
paratory to the opening of Parliament" We
are glad Of anything that keeps up Femem-
braace of the past history Of P0pery, but we
must say that this search j. a very Idle aud
useless piece OF nonsense. The inventor of
?opery and Of all evil is too fertile in devices
to have recourse TO the same plot over again
and, at all events would not haze the powder
put twice in the same place. Neither is there
any danger of the JesWits having stuffed the
woolsack with gun cotton. when Chancellors
like Lord Brougham and Lord I.yndhurst 81,
ON or near it. We desire by all means that the
usual search be made before the opening Of
Parliament-but it ought not to be in quest Of
chemical combustibles, nor amongst the vaults
beneath the house. nor conducted by Yeomen
and Sticks in Waiting. Instead Of Sir Angus
tus Clifford and Captain Kinkcaird, let me II
like the Rev. Baptist Noel of London. DR..
CandIish Of Edinburgh. and DR.. Cooke Of Bel
fast, be her Majesty's searchers-and let the
search be made, not in the cellars below ST.
Stephens but in the lawn sleeves Of some Of the
bishops. beneath ,hs white surplices OF many
OF the clergy, uneer the college gowns at OK
ford and Cambridge, in the bureaus Of states
men and public men both in and out of office ::
and we believe that Pepish materials will be
found in these and other places, tar more dan
gerous TO the Queen and the Constitution than
Guy Fawkes with his barrels of gunpowder.
