O}It must boa gratifying reflection to the
honest and sober.minded people of this coun-
try, who have its welfare and its noble insil-
tutons at heart that the iniGuity of Locofoco-
ism is-so near its death. II will cease to ex-
ist. in the administration of the General Gov
eminent, for at least four years, on the fourth
of March next. The vicssitudes and calaml-
ties through which we have passed, during
the last twenty years, in consequence OF the
dishonesty of rulers and the wickedness OF
men in official stations, have been severe
enough to destroy any people that were not
under the guidance ofGod he has slgnally
manifested his displeasure OF our national sins
on many and marked occasions, but we have
needed not these admonitory lessons. lie has
spoken from his high throne of Omnipotence,
even into the very councils of the natlon, and
caused the grim messenger death to WELD
his shaft in the midst Of our statesmen. lie
has brought calamities, disease and death up
on Us, in all imaginable shapes.
\ At last we have aroused from our stupor,
and nobly shaken the shackles from us ; and
at this moment we occupy proud and com
manding position in the eyes of the varied ma
tons of the earth. The future is pregnant
with mighty hopes, with vast anticlpatlo ms
and with momentous consequences. we
have every reason to believe that the Govern
ment will now be honestly and conscientious
ly administered upon the pure and phllanthro-
pic principles on which its founders erected
the corner stone ; in this case, the ediicc will
rise to more lofty eminence, and its crcum'
ference will extend only to those legal limits
which the Constitution provided for, which
reason dictates, and which the law Of nations
will approve. The doctrine of extending
the area of freedom, so obnoxious in ITSELF
the conception of radacalism, and the Upas
which has ever knawed at the vtals of ev.
cry Republic on earth, will be denounced as
| dangerous and detestahle, and the Consti
tuition will be the only chart by which the
President will bo guided, and he will construe
| it as it is, and not as he understands it.
\ These are the hopes which cheer US, and
these are the bright rays which will surround
our name among the nations of the earth. Ou'
uncultivated lands are fast being settled, ou'
commerce is mighty, our agriculture is un
equalled, our Manufactures, if protected, vii
be tremendous, and our accomplishments II
II the Arts and Sciences will elevate us to
proud position. Thus we are mighty ma
ton, respected by all human powers, and des
tined, ere long, to be regarded and looked t'
/ as model in all things. Shall we earn ant
/ preserve such character This is ques
ton which can only be decided at the ballo
box. The continued exercise and practca
operation Of Wing principles will secure al
this, and make us prospered, Influential an'
happy people.

A GoLD DRE.M.-The Lansinburgh Ga
zette has the credit Of telling the following
funny anecdote
A wag remarked the other day, that few
nights since he dreamed he was in California
and while engaged in picking up gold, he es'
pied at a short distance, piece as large as his
fist and being fearful lest some Of his COM
panons might secure the golden treasures, he
gave Sam Peatch leap after it. At this in.
teresting period of his dream he awoke. and
found he was huggng the bed-post like good
fellow. We are Of the opinion very many
of those who 90 to the gold region with hgf
hopes of reapng fortunes, will return huggne
grim poverty instead of bed-post."

Mayor Bigelow, of Boston. in his address to
theICity Council, says the experiment made by
the late City Government, of forbdding the
sale of intoxicating liquors in the City, has
proved total failure. Furthermore, he sees
no remedy for the evil more likely TO prove ef-
iectua than return 10 the old system OF
granting licences. The aggregate quantity
sold under that system, he thIuks, will be less
than it is at present.
