brew very faithful portraitare Of the corrupt sys
EN- OF society in which we live. He dealt his telling
Vows to the right and to the left, sparing neither
friend nor foe much to the discontinue OF the as
sembled members of the Commons. He contended
and with truth that the government OF this country
is carried only by the grossest corruption extending
itself from the palace Of the sovereign, down to the
homestead of the most INDECENT voter.
The election committees are still in fall force, and
above thirty members have been arrested for bribery

Lord Grey, on Tuesday night, 10th inst, brought
forward motion for address to the Qaeen, to the
effect that no alteration should be made in the law
of transportation till the whole subject had under.
gone proper investigation. His lordship is one OF
those who like Lord Campbell regards the present
system, (Which Heaven knows is bad enough,) a.
having certain refo matory effects those who leave
the country for their countrys good and in his love
for the cid system he altogether disregards the evils
that have already resulted from IL, and are doing 50
much TO ALLEVIATE from US the good feelings Of oar
Australian coonists, while at the same time he con-
siders as nothing the demorlizing eject caused by
their unavoidable escapes to the gold dggings.
Lord Aberdeen considerable motion to be OF very
unusual character, involving an interference, not
only with the prerogatve Of the crown, but with the
discretion of the executive and the Earl Of Chiches-
ter proposed an amendment, declaring IT to be tae
opinion Of the House that Importation In idture
ne confined to very grave offences, and limited to
certain colonies, while more complete system OF
econdary and reformatory punishment should be IN
reduced at home, with the view OF restoring Goa
icte to society in England aud not sending them to
destroy the morals Of our most hopeful colonial set
ieJoeDts. Lord Campbell gave fresh edition of his
trades against the reiormatory systems now adopt
I'd, and to be proposed;-but the. House remained

From the Mo. Republican of 4th inst.
Change Of Administration.

Yesterday Mr.. FILLMORE, who had
exercised the duties of President of the
United States for more than three years,
becaoe a private citizen; and General
PIERCE took upon himself, a, the cleo
tion OF majority of his countrymen,
the performance Of the duties of Chief
Magistrate. This change in the head of
the government was effected wi,hou, rev.
olu.ion. withou, opposition, without tu-
multi or feeling, except such as springs
from personal admiration and desire
for the incoming Administrations
There is not man IN the whole Union
who has not cheerfully acquiesced in
the choice which has been maGe, nor
solitary individual who, from any cor
sideralion, would have desired any in
terru2tion to the Inauguration of Gen.
PIERCE yesterday. Il is the chief glo.
ry of our institutions that the people,
while they differ about men and the
principles they may represent before an
election, rarely so far forget themselves
as to show any disrespect to those who
NAV be elected as rulers. They give a
hearty acqniescence to their induction
into office, and frequently become the
warmest upholders of the Administra.
ton of the man whose election they may
have opposed. History will speak of
Mr.. FILLMoRE's Administration as one
of the mos. brilliant and successful which
has adorned our Government. Coming
into office at most critical period-when
the passions and prejudices of one Sec
tlon o: the country were arrayed against
the other--surrounded by politicians
who seemed more intent upon producing
ciscord and mischief. than desirous OF al
laying lit needed the calm iudgmen,
and the earnest patriotism of Mr.. FILL.
MORE, TO put an end TO the strife. Under
his Administration, this was effected, and
peace restored to the country. Abroad,
the honor of the country was maintain
ed and the rights Of every citizen protect
ed; and it may be said with truth, that
Mr.. FILLMoRE's term of service closes
al time when the country is in state
of great and unparalleled prosperity.
Mr.. PIERCE has now entered upon his
public duties. Ii is due 10 him that he
should have fair start, and that harsh
criticism should be withheld until the
measures and principles Of his Admins
tra;ion are fairly developed. The cere-
monies of the Inauguration took place
yesterday, but of these we have no ac-
count-the telegraph furnishing nothing

Men SOW wild oats, and women, but.

The shortest way to mans hear, is

Mans love is like the moon-if il does
not grow large, i. is cure TO grow small
er. ..- ....-#
A man may "do good by STEALTH" bu,
as for his blushing.",o find it fame, that's
all nonsense.
Man shrinks from cold me Does
this arise from mans innate pre- Imp.ion
Of always ruling the roast!
Man takes a woman with dowry in
the same way that he accepts the ham.
per that brings him handsome present
Of game.
Men have two why's of ex,inguishing
the flame Of love--they either let l, burn
out quietly, or else they snuff it ou, by
one blow.
In dilemma. during the time a man
has been standing like fool. fumbling
for an excuse, a woman will have invent
ed ten thousand.
Wives are often foolish enough TO sit
up for their husbands, bu, you hear of
few husbands who have the patience to
sit up for their wives.
How many men are there who think
they are making themselves exceedingly
popular when they are making them.
selves exceedingly ridiculous.
Men have been pointed out to me who
were said to be great thinkers. have
watched them. and found them very great
thinkers. men who evidently thought a
great deal-but then it was evidently a.
bout themselves.
An old maids only confident is her
pillow. All her cares, wrongs and
thoughts. both sleeping and waking, are
confined TO its soft embrace. Ii is the
only depository and wi,ness of the tears
that she sometimes sheds over broken
hopes. More than this, il is confdan,
that never mocks--never be,rays her.
