Eg Experience has at length shown that the
real danger to be encountered by the federal gov
eminent is not disruption or dissolution, but con-
soLrDAT1oN. Here is the point to be guarded.
The tendency of the times is tosextravagance, to
combinations by sections for efecting their own
particular purposes, and to the exercise of unau-
thorzed power by Congress. 1t is the duty of the
Democratic party to keep an eye upon this tenden-
cy, and at least to check it, if it cannot be at once
and permanently arrested. If the House of Rep
resent atlves should give way before this disposition
SO generally prevalent, to disregard Constitutional
limitations for pfNent apparent good or temporary
prosperity, we hope the Senate will stand. and
thus arrest the evil; butif both should weld, we
shall look with confidence to President Pierre for
the exercise of the veto power. This power It is
true, ought to be esorted to with caution and onlv
after deliberation; butts exercise on certain
occasions heretofore has proved of the utmost inn
portapee AID value, and we have no fears that #
will be improperly unwsely used BY President
Pierce.

RoAiE. a letter from Rome, Of the i 18th OF
May last, Mr. Bryant editor of the New erk Eve
ming Post, notices the prepondeFance of the militia
ny costume ecclesiastical and the restraints
on public intelligence, but adds: 4sss.
" In the midst of the evils of this false system
OF political organization, there are some tokens of
prosperity to be seen at Rome. I have no doubt
that the population of the city has considerably in
creased within the last twenty years. The proof
of this is to be found in the rise of rents and the
difficulty which now exists in finding commodious
apartments. l am told that rents have nearly
doubled, and that the spacious suites of rooms
which few years since stood vacant in the pala-
ees and other large houses have now their inmates.
his IS owing, no doubt, in part to the general
growth of the population of Italy during the late
long interval of rest from war, and i'm part to the
new facilities for travelling, which bring many
more strangers to Rome than formerly as visitors
or residents. The tide aso which in the ecclesas
teal world is setting back towards the usaees and
opinions of the middle ages, no doubt floats many
hither, and adds something to this new growth of
Rome. Those who foretolG that the Eternal CITY,
In the unhealthy air of her Campagna, would at
no distant day become unpeopled, must be con-
tent to look to very remote and indefinite futuri-
ty for the fulfllment of their prediction.
Meantime the city is somewhat beautiied with
almost every succeeding year. Statues and col
umns are erected; tie old irregular pavement of
the streets, trodden with much pain by those
who had corns on their feet has been taken up,
and its place supplied by smoother one, com
posed of small rectangular blocks of stone, like
those used in paving the streets of Paris; a noble
causeway, with parapets and a pavement of hewn
stone, has been lately made over the low grounds
just without the gate, the new Appian way
and the public garden and the Monte Pinco has
been embellished with of busts, in marble, of
the lustrous men of Italy, her sagcs artists, and
authors. Workmen occupied in the gar
den, forming its walks and planting them with
trees, among which l perceive the evergreen mag
nolia, the bayonet-laven palmetto, the date palm,
and other trees of the palm kind which do not
find the climate here too rude for their growth"

THE PIJBJ 10 LANDS.

1cJ10lz1k@94 LA
The NYiInington journal says: = We have ex-
ainined the vote BY which this benefits bill
was passed: out of the whole body of the South
ern Democrats it received but six votes and OF
these but three hailed from the old States--one
from Virginia--Beale-wh sas not been re-elect-
ed !: one from North Carolina-Mr. Venable-who
is vet to be disposed of; and one from Georgia, a
State which actually received the full cash value
for the lands which she originally ceded to the
United States. The other three votes are from
Tennessee, Louisiana, and Kentucky-all new
States, and all acquired by the cession of the old
States, or by purchase, at later date. And it is
upon this meagre showing that it is sought to
commit the Democratic party Of the South to this
affair.""
The Journal also calls attention to the fact that
the Resolution on the subject of the public lands,
adopted by the last Democratic State Convention,
makes no distinction between the lands and the
proceeds The Resolution says distinctly, the
p.;blic lands, and not merely the proceeds that
is, the public lands are the common property Of
all the States, to be held by the General Govern
maent, as common fund for the payment of the
public debt and other charte upon the public
treasury" We shall publish the Journals article
in our next.

1t is said that the first weeping willow in England
was planted by Pope, the poet He received pres
ent OF figs from Turkey, and observing wig in the
basket ready to bud. he planted it in his garden, and
it soon became fine tree; and that from this stock
all the weeping willows in England and America
originated. Some else has said that the weeping
willow may be propagaied by bending the tops OF
the common willow TO the ground and burying them.
The tops will not take root, and the growing
from them will have the-graceful flowing branches
of the weeping willow.

fate of The Mantchou dynasty is sealed though we
must not entirely lose sight of the partial successes

with. The and silk trade seems to be at an end.
the embarrassment to mercantile transactions of all
kinds is said TO be felt everywhere. What do the
American, English, and French vessels of intend
do Shanghai? is the general inquiry now but
things now stand, It's not expected they will do
anything beyond protecting the individual interests
Of their respective nations. In the northern district
of China, see, there is complete stagnation of
business. Shanghai, the British Consul has been
compelled to take himself the responsibility of
dspa ching vessels without the usual permit Fl The
Chinese Superintendent of Customs this measure
was necessary by reason of the want of money to
pay the duties and port dues, and for which the Con-
sui, on receipt of security, was responsible.
