edge that he was in favor of high protective
tariff-a United States bank, and internal i'm
provements by the general governmental

nor even afraid to raise his voice against the
sub-treasury, favorite measure of the demo-
cratic party. But the tariff, bank and internal
Improvements by the general governmental
have become to be obsolete ideas; and the sub
treasury is not looked upon now as that raw
head and bloody bones it once was. What
are the principles of the whig party now =
The wings blame ustor ceasing to advocate
wing principles. Have not the wing party
ceased to advocate whig principles! But say
they, you have joined the democratic party
What if we have? What sin in associating
yourself with those who agree with you in
feeling and sentiment. Democratic princi-
pies are right and the wings acknowledge
it, in ceasing to urge the adoption of then

The charming Princess Belgioso, who cof-

goes into the personal habits Of The orientals,
and thus states their argument against forks
and ocket-handkerchiefs:
sour heads being closely shaved, they do
not become, as is the case with poor christian
people, the loathsome receptacle of all sorts
Of filth. Eating with our fingers, we do not
put into our mouths the spoons and forks that
have successfully passed through many Other
lips, practice which looks to usexceedingly
disgusting. We carefully wash our hands
before dipping our fingers in the dishes, and
wash them no less carefully after we have
done it. We blow our noses with our fin.
gers-that is to say, we pinch them artistical
ly between two fingers of our right hand
blowing at the same time most vigorously
so that nothing but mother earth receives th'
impurity."

had made representations which called for
interference, and that Earl Grey had posi-
lively declined to continue associated as a
colleague with Lord Palmerston.
The disruption seems almost inevitable,
unless Lord Palmerston retires. In. such
event the Journal looks upon Lord Claren-

This is most remarkable increase, under
the circumstances, and is highly creditable to
the new Democratic Board.
The first thing the new Board did on organ
izing for the year, was to reduce the tolls at
lleas. THIRTY per cent! And yet by the strict
est attention to their duties they have saved
nearly one hundred housand dollars to the
Treasury Of the State. This Is the differ
ence between electing men to office who at
tend to their business, and the election of men
who attend to everything but their business.
ALI recollect the letter of Mr.. Follet, who
complained that he had spent all his time
electioneering, instead of his business, as
President of the Board under Whig lule.
Look at this result. While the new Board
increased the tolls as paid into the Treasury
over ninety-six thousand dollars, they at the
same time, by a reduction of tolls, say 30
per cent, left in the pockets Of the people,
1856, 6,8l337-the whole amount of tolls col
lected being $S56,352 rs, a greater amount
than has ever been collected in one year since
the canals were constructed, and this in the
