each envious man who pinned at seeing the we'll
doing Of others around, could brand for himself
upon his better neghbors: the large proprietor
was an aristocrat' to the small one-provided
that small one was weak or wicked enough to oc-
cupy himself with dsliking his neighbours pros
perity rather than with advancing his own by the
same methods which had created his neighbours or
handed it down. Nor did this easy odum stop at
the wealthy each man who had no selErespect,
each one Of slavish soul who in his heart could
not feel that his dignity as free citizen and an
honest man set him upon level with the proudest
in the land, readily found an aristocrat" in the
most blameless and kindly people about him. To
the shop-keeper the merchant was aristocrat, to
the day-laborer the thriving shop-keeper: every
one who is old enough may remember cases in
abundance Of this spirit.
To some this charge Of aristocracy was but an
excuse for hating neighbours goods, or his better
education, or his better dress to others more vio-
lent it was wish to plumber him. And this latter
thought soon took system and shape in branch Of
the party avowing itself Agrarians. Out of this
arose the milder modification of Anti-Rentsm,
which did not propose an indiscrminate seizure of
property, but only that each tenant should take his
landlords. And, as OF course the morals of a
nation must in the main be but an enlarged express
sion Of those of the individuals that compose it,
we had, first, to induce our people to consent to
pundering Mexico Of her territory Of Texas, merely
the memorable and suggestive declaration $50 well re-
ceived by the annexationists that "thc AngloSaxons
have ever been the greatest land-robbers in exist
ence = and, nert, the doctrine Of manifest destiny,
which. says that we faed nation, and that, be-
ing so, we will enslave and annex every country on
this continent that is too weak to defend ITSELF" OF
course these eprincpes applied to other acts
Like those fanatics in story who voted three resolutions

tons - and it has ever since rewarded just that
sort of service by appointments to office just such
sort Of service, indeed, persons actually in office
now performing Immediately under the eye Of the
Executive
Meantime, amidst all this strange mixture OF
whatever saddens the heart and appals the imagi-
nation of the good and wse we at least witness all
the while the progress of one phenomenon which,
however melancholy for the time, treasures the
land if il has made it weep or still makes blush
II is plain that its long-insulted virtue and sense
will but for little while more suffer themselves
to be trampled on. The power that did it carried
within itself the principle Of its own rapid destruc-
ton-that principle which, in ordert pull down, had
first to infatuate, and did this with such success that
presently the most infatuated of the party grew too
strong for the cunning men who had set itup. The
artfcers Of i'll have become its vctims-the Loco
foco Revolution devours its own children. New
Democracy has, by the very propensity which it
propagated for men who were the mere cheats Of
ability and character, let down its own choice so
low that il could go no lower without running ITSELF
instead of the country. Such, indeed, is, to all
men Of little intelligence the present evident posi-
ton of things. There must shortly be an end
either Of the present political dynasty, or of this
Government
-- Having, for the nonce, relieved our mind
by impartng TO our readers the "reminiscences of
the days Of persecution, prescription, and general
msrule, which crowded upon it, we may be
allowed TO change the note, and congratulate our
readers as most heartily we do, upon the prospect
of a political regeneration that now opens upon
our vision. If they but do their duty, the iron
rule Of the Veto is at an end, the rod Of the sp-
pressor broken, and the supremacy Of the Constr
tuition restored.

choice Of the People fall upon him, they have, as

On reaching safely &C the other side of the
flood" it can hardly fail to be the first i'm
pulse of Christian heart, gratefully to &C
knowledge the good Providence of Almighty
God, which has afforded safe and comtorta-
BILE voyage. 1t seems most natural to re-
member that it was the divine hand which
averted all dangers and crowned each day
upon the deep with loving~kindness. lie is
happy man who, when the tempest sweeps
over and around him, and the waves are tos-
sing the frail vessel on which depends his
safety, feels with calm assurance that Jesus
his Redeemer can say-Peace, be still-juot as
easily as he did upon the Lake of Galilee.-
And whoever has enjoyed the comforts OF
tranquil faith amidst the storm, will be sure
to enjoy the pleasure OF thanktulness and
praise. when the calm succeeds and the wish
ed for point is reached.
Next to the recollection OF the goodness OF
God, came to my own mind the stirring
thought that I was really IN England! For
while almost seemed to be only dreaming,
so difficult was it to believe myself on the
shores which 1 had so long and earnestly
desired to see. So many thoughts and feei-
ings crowded upon me, that nothing in my
mind was distinct and clear. 1t required
day or two to bring me into condition TO
observe and to reflect, as well as to give ut
terance to my impressions.
The impression which Liverpool makes
upon stranger is altogether agreeable 1t is
comparatively modern town. not very un-
like Boston and New York in its general ap-
pearance, only tina. it has the dingy look
which coal smoke imparts to all English cities,
giving them an old and sombre aspect. With
in only two hundred years 1t was quite an
insignificant place, being little more than
fishing village of the larger class. Com

We are Growing Old.
ny FRANCIS BROWN.

We are growing old how the thoughts will rise
When glance is backward cast.
Oh some long remembered spot that lies
In the sill ence of the past:
II may he the shrine Of our early vows,
Or the tomb of early fears
But ii seems like n far off isle TO us
In the stormy sea OF years.
Oh, wide and wild are the waves that part
Our steps from its greatness now,
And we Miss The joy of many Il heart.
And the light Of many brow;
For deep DER many stately bark,
Have the whelming pillows rolled,
That steered with us from that early mark
Oh, friends, we are growing old.
Old in the dmness and the dust
OF our daily tolls and cares
Old in the wrecks of love and trust.
Which our bUrdened mem Try bears:
Each form may wear to the passing gaze
The bloom of life's freshness yet,
And beams may brighten our latter days,
Which the morning never met.
But oh, the changes we have seen,
In the far and winding way
The graves in paths that have grown green,
And the locks that have grown grey!
The winter still on our own may spare
The sable or the gold;
But we saw their SHOWS upon brighter hair
And, friends, we are growing old.
We have gained the worlds cold wisdom now,
We have learned to pause and fear;
But where are the living fountS whose flow
Was a joy of heart to hear
We have won the wealth of many cline,
And the lore of many page
But where is The hope that saw in time
But its boundess heritage?
Will it come again when the violet wakes,
And the weeds their youth renew!
We have stood in the light Of sunny brakes,
Where the bloom was deep and blue;
Vnd our souls might joy in the spring-time then,
But the Joy was faint and cold,
For it meier could give us the youth again
OF hearts thai are growing old.

Browning Fortune frowning ever,
Frownlng evtrmOre on Inc,
Wit thou always hate whoever
iloldeth in spirit tree
Secret strength defying thee?
Smile for smile when thou vert kindly,
Thou hadst welcome kind and glad
Didst thou ever fail to find me
With that happy face had.
Ere thy malice made it sad
Frown for frown my face is altered,
Changed through many sharp degree,
But nv shirt sea rec hath faltered:-
Beaten down upon my knee.
