Confessions of a Politician.

Mr.. SHAW, 4 member of the New York Legis-
ature, In the course of recent speech, gave the
following amusing sketch of his political career
Ills course has to be sure, been somewhat devi-
ous but he seems nevertheless, to have been di-
rected Throughout by principle; and, after all par
ties may have changed more than he, and his plea
OF consistency be not absurd as the daughters
indicated.
Mr.. Shaw said that in politics he had been
every thing. He had been member of every
party he had ever heard of Laughter He was
at this time member of the Democratic party
of that faction known as "Hunker''-a moderate
one-rather softly. Before the time of Andrew
Jackson he had been a Democrat But when he
was talked of a candidate lor the Presidency
came Clay man. He remained Clay man
during the whole of that despotic Democratic
rule, and the one that followed. He clung fast to
Mr.. Clay as long as there was any hope of pac-
Ing him in the Presidential chair and was pres
ent at the Harrisburgh Convention that Witnessed
his tAlr. C.'s) political death And a sorry death
1t was, too. After that he left the party. and
again sailed under the Democratic banner He
had been Democrat, and left them when oppo-
stlon to the old United States Bank was made
test of the party. He had been Democrat when
on the other hand, they were the advocates of
such measure; and he expected to find them re-
turning to it again some day He had always
been consistent Laughter. He had made it
point to belong to all parties in turn. He was
Just now Democrat, but how long he should re-
main SO was quite uncertain. 1t depended on the
course pursued by Mr.. Pierce--a man who had
been elected President lately Laughter.

A remarkable change, it is said. is in progress
amongst the Jews in almost every country. Aiul-
titudes are throwing aside the Afishna and the
Talmud and betaking themselves to the study of
Moses and the Prophets. Among the Jews in
London there is, at the present time, great de-
mand for copies of the old testament. The sub
ject OF their restoration to Palestine and the ma
ture of the promises on which the expectation is
founded, are extensively engaging their attention
In examining into these matters, they have OBJ
tanned considerable assistance from a continental
Rabbi, who has lately arrived among them, and
exhibited manuscript, in which he has endeav-
ored to prove, from Scripture, that the time has
come when the Jews must set about making pre-
parations for returning to the land OF their fathers
The said manuscript has been printed in Hebrew
and English; and society has been formed to
further the movement proposed by the learned
Rabbi

LOUISVILLE AND TIE PAcIrIc.-We are going
to advance suggestion which in time we may
follow up with argument. TO the effect of con-
structing direct 6ae of railway from Louisville
to the Pacific ocean. This will not be so terrific
project, as some may be disposed at first view
tc think it, the route would be somewhat as fol-
lows: There is already contract entered into
with an English company to build road FROM
some point in Texas 1--WE have forgotten the narne)
to the Pacific; the road from here to Nashville is
placed on footing of certainty, to be completed
in 81 years. We presume the company will
branch to Memphis, and the branch can be built
in the same time. Here, then, we shall have
continuous railway connection with Memphis
from which point it will be an easy matter to run
across Arkansas and connect with the Texas and
Pacific Railroad. This connection could be COM
pleted in tour or five years, by which time the
road viii be very nearly if not quite completed TO
the Pacific. 1t is hardly necessary for us to men
ton the immense benefits sach line of railway
would confer upon Louisville and Memphis.
