Increase of Crime.

The increase of crime m our country IS
one Of the most lrghllul signs of the times.

and moral education ayalls nothing against

origin of the evil.
How often must the trite saying be re-

which young America does not reverence.
Young girls of fifteen are wiser than their

Everett's Progress.

We like Everetrs progress of the heart
as well as the head of the citizen as well
as the public man. 1t is the progress OF
the Christian, the statesman, the phloso-
pher and patIiot. There is heroism IN
every day life. This herolsm is what Ev-
ereu would raise monuments to ; the hero
ism that makes the honest aud industrious
man and the good clllzen Everett would
teach us to surround our homes with com
font, aud our liresldes with cheerluuess.-
Everelrs is the progress of men acting un-
der the impulse of their noblest qualities
his opponents the progress Of men with
every baser passion aroused. Everett
would cnshrine each heart with the flowers
Of domestic peace his opponents would
rear one high artificial wreath as a mockery
to hide the universal woe. One seeks t.
gain an extensive domain purchased with
blood; the other, TO spread on what VIZ
have, the pleasant verdure of rural culture
, and waving havests. One delights IN the
e clash Of arms-lhe other, IN the anvil

Federal Interference.

The old line Democratic papers Of New York
dcnounce the President and his cabinet in the
severcst terms for the removal Of Collector
Bronson Of New York, than whom" says the
Albany Argus, "there is no sounder or more
CONSTANT democrat, nor ADLER nor purer man in
this broad Union not excepting the circle
around the President, or The centre thereof"
While reading the following from the Argus. it
may be we'll enough to inquire whether the
Federal Government has nterfered at all with
political matters in Vermont. Perhaps the Col
lector, or some Of his deputies in the lobby,
could give a satisfactory answer.
As one of series Of acts of direct interfer-
cmce on the part of the General Government in
the local policy OF sovereign State of the CON
federacy, if viewed M no other light, the renov-
al of Judge Bronson may well excite, not ap
prehension but Indignation throughout the
length and breadth of the Republic. 1t is the
first instance in the history Of this nation whore
the attempt has been made by any administra-
tion, to control the result Of a State election
and to shape its policy, through the terrors or
the appliances of the federal arm. IL Is a blow
aimed at State sovereignty and Independence, IN
most odious and dangerous form-and well
calculated 10 revive in its intensity and vlgor all
over the Union the old spirit Of resistance to the
encroachments of the federal power upon the
Just rights Of the States and a determination IL
resist aud resent them at the Threshold. 4ibant
