THE CENSUS OF 1850.

We have seen in several newspapers illusions
made by letter-writers in this city to the proposed
visit OF Mr.. j. G.. G. KENNEDY, of the Census
Office, to Europe, connecting it with the Great In
dustrial Exhibition now open in London. His
visit, we informed, has no reference to the ex-
hibition-the object being to examine into the
methods adopted for tabular arrangement by those
Governments which have just. taken their census,
and to obtain exact information concerning the
machinery and results of the statistical operations
of the Old World now in progress, and a know
ledge Of their past history and workings and to en-
deayor to effect some arrangements by which their
and our own census operations shall be rendered
more reciprocally beneficial. This, it is believed,
can be effected by an understanding which shall
secure the collection Of as many similar elementary
facts as possible; the publication of such facts as
wlll.admit thereof in uniform manner; and by
arranging the tables Of ages and other statistics so
as to admit of an easy comparative view of the
present condition and relative progress Of each ma
tion. Such consummation would be of incalcu-
liable importance, and it seems little singular that
to this late day should be left the projection of
measure apparently feasible, and in itself so sim
pie, while fraught with interests and results of
such great magnitude. We are happy to learn
that the diplomatic agents Of the European nations
now in Washington manifest a disposition to faci-
litate this movement. The middle OF the nine
teenth century is very appropriate period to
commence concerted and harmonious series of
Investigations. .-RepabHc.

The Union cannot break the force of the hold
which the Administration has upon the confidence
Of the people, in consequence of its course with
regard to the Compromise measures. The settle-
sment of the "vexed questions by the Compro-
mise came by the force of circumstances, to be
ne prcrainent subject in the political history Of the
country, and the President at once, and firmly, took
his stand. He is identified, both by his own course
and his situation, with the policy whichlooks to the
preservation Union and the security ofthe rights
ofthe States. No wonder. then that he is popular,
in the South especially and that it will require the
most potent party machinery to induce the people
to refuse him their confidence and support. How
can Southern men, with propriety and consistency,
rally party to break down President who has
nobly stood by the laws in their defence, and has
thrown the whole weight of the Executive branch
of the Government in their favor, for their protec-
ton from the assaults of their enemies? l, would
be unjust and ungrateful Whatever the North
may do in those States where abolitionsm and free
soilism prevail, and whatever may be the course of
disunonists in some of the Southern States, the
friends of the Union every where have duty to
perform in reference to the President which we
trust no mere party obligations may prevent them
from performing. Gazette.
