What is 70 Recome Of Americans,

There really seems to be danger between
Mr.. SoULE and the Democratic ReOisW, that
those of us who are 50 unfortunate as 10 have
drawn our first breath on Ayentina and to

will be driven from Rome altogether. There
is no room for us at republican tables We
are a sort Of Malthusian surplus Between
Paris ani Dublin we are like TO be crushed,
as between the upper aud neither milestone.
1t is understood that the Democratic Re.
view is written up by broth of boy of Mi
lesian origin; who thus discourses on the rel
ative merits Of foreigners and Americans iu
their attachments to liberal principles:
"For one educated or ignorant foreigner

out abroad, in every European capital, in ev-
ery American republic or island sycophants
to papistcal Jesutism, and panderers tC
'what-so power may be, for the time, most
most beastly and tyrannic."
The leading article of tn. ReView is a puff
of the New York Herald Journal which it
describes as the "organ to which is mainly Ia

We ought certainly, as a nation, to be proud
Of PREsIDEHT who was the ''creation and

Great WIRE Bridge.

It is known that there is no regular bridge
communication across the Potomac between
the District nd Alexandria, a proposition
for the erection of an immense wire suspen-
scn bridge has been submitted to the corpor
alton of Georgetown. by Charles Ellet Esq.
Civil Engineer.
The bridge Mr. Ellet propose is vire
suspension bridge, Of such size AMI weight
as to be competent to the uses of Railroad,
AS well as ordinary travel. At the preferred
point at the Three Sisters, the river is l,03C
feet wide. which would be the length ofa
bridge there. This distance Mr.. Eilet pro-
poses to span with single arch declining to
use the granite rocks which lie in the river in
the line Of the proposed structure.-The cost
of this structure he sets down at S297. $40
but says that If the bridge be divided into
two spans by pier on the aforesaid rocks the
cost would be only s240,ooO. He prefers
the single span, however, on account of its
handsomer appearance This bridge he
states would be four times heavier and stout
er, and therefore four times stronger, thar
the Wheeling suspension bridge, (of whicl
Mr.. Elet was conslrueter,) and would more
than sustain the Simultaneous pressure o
weight of two locomotive engines with thei
tenders, forty loaded freight cars; one hun
dred loaded carts on the carriage ways, anl
one hundred horses enough TO occupy tn
bridge from end to end. and in all amour

And how we strove each to excel
When words were given hard to spell
To read, 10 write, to cipher well,
