are the actual strides of the United States
towards dominion, that they can hardly b'
exceeded, even by the visions of this extra
ordinary society. Though Texas and CaIifor.
MA are scarcely yet cemented to the political
fabric ofthe Union, we have seen the first steI
taken to the absorption Of Mexico But this
week our intelligence from Washington an
nounced that, in dealing with Mexican terri
tory at the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, Con-
gress would not condescend to any negotia-
ton with the Mexican government; and while
a new and more formidable attempt upon
Cuba is almost openly matured, design
upon the Sandwich Islands is advertised with
scarcely semblance of reserve. Napoleon
did not deal with Europe more freely than
the United States propose dealing with Amer
lea; and the very nation which, in the case of
the Lobos islets, exclaims against the unrea-
sonableness of Peru in pretending to terrific
ry 35 miles from its coast, not content with
lowering over the islands of the Caribbean, is
pushing its own pretensions across the broad
Pacific, and endeavoring to extend its iuris-
diction to distance of thousand leagues.
Whether or not the Union possesses sta
bility enough in itself to carry it through
these gigantic schemes of aggrandzement
may be question Of doubt; but it is not to
be denied that the disorganization of the
American continent is such as almost to in
vIte the attempts of conquering power
The States, too, though not yet prepondera-
ting in territorial dominion, have a popula-
tion immensely exceeding that of the other
communities on the two continents, even in
strength and incomparaby superb
or in energy and intelligence. Hitherto, by
an unparalleled destiny, they have absorbed
all Immigrants, of whatever race, without
any perceptible modification of their political
unity, and the desire of preserving the con-
federation entire does really appear to have
prevailed for the time, over all other pas
sions. If this feeling should still predomi-
nate, 1t is difficult to put cay limits to The pos
sl6itities Of The future; but it seems not lit
tie singular that visions ofsuch unscrupulousl
should be entertained at moment
when the disruption of the original fabric has
been seriously threatened, and is still matter
of public declamation.--London Times,

Getting Insured.

This is progressive age, as the happy
Benedict observed three weeks alter his
marriage, when he beheld his wife donning
his trowsers; aud to keep up with the age
the monied men of the day start many new
notions in order to help make this great
country. For some years past there seems
to have been a mania for insurance Compa-
nies, taking risks upon beth live and dead
stock. A little incident pertaining TO insn-
rance came under my observation few years
since.
In Nhe year 1S47 resided in New Orleans,
and among my circle of acquaintance, was
a Young man employed as clerk IN " Lille
and Health Insurance Company" Being in
conversation with him one day at the tffice,
our discourse was interrupted by the entrance
of Iank, overgrown Hoosier, who wanted
to know if therboss was in My friend
asked his business, and the Hoosier told him
that he wanted to get insured
sOh, can attend to that said the clerk
No you can't replied the Hoosier,
want to see the boss, SO as to have things
done on the square.
At this moment the President came in and
the clerk pointed him out to the Hoosier as
the boss
LOCKER here strangern exclaimed the
Hoosier, approaching him, see by yer
sign that We insure health
Yes sir, replied the President with
bland smile, is there anything we cen do for
you in that line?

quiet home staying people. We work hard,
cara our meat and peas by big dlops of
sweat. and have very little fuss, save when
politics begin TO take riz. We ginerally
90 to church every Sunday, when our
preachers rheumatic and brohnskeeters will
allow him TO hold forth; and we very sell
dom take too much of the "criter" except
in lection times. As we live somewhat
near the jumpng-of place, it aint often we
hear much news of the doings OF our iel-
Iow-countymen, unless one ofyour valuable
little sheets happens to find lis way into our
hundred. We are not much gnin TO book
farming down here, and can't afford to take
the newspapers; this perhaps Is one reason
why we aint much noticed or cared for, ex-
cept when votes are wanted. Now we are
all whoIe-hog tail-and- -bristle fellows
when we attempt any thing with our danda

you see, Uncle Joab and Uncle Ike are our
two greatest men in these diggins. There
is never a meetin, whether religious or po-
litical, as what can so on unless Uncle
Joab or Uncle Ike are there TO regerlate
matters. Uncle Joab is considered the
most prominent of the two, and ginerally

about all their concarns. II happened a

On motion Of Mr.. Doli,tle, Uncle Joab
put the question:, to know whether it was
the pleasure Of the meetin to adopt the reso-
lutions which the committee had reported,
whereupon there was one universal shout
Of aye; no one voting in the negative. So
they were carried unanimously. After this,

IN the most cirili@ed nations.
