TNO attempt to describe them, or give any

be like an attempt to paint the sun. Imagine

these Goods. And as to prices, when We
consider the high price of Cotton, it can hard
ly be credited that Goods can be sold SO won
derfully cheap. 1t would be impossible to
enumerate articles and prices--to be appre-

therefore extended to the whole world to

Were law enacted, however, requiring
every voter to be moral man and to be
educated, there is scarcely possibility Of

law. Who could fix the precise line of
morality to which every man must come ?
How "knowledgeable" must gentleman
be to 60 the Know Nothing or any other
"party blind?" Who shall erect stand
ard Of morals, or of education, to regulate
the privileges Of men equally interested
in government, and who bear their share
of its burdens? Judge Royce of Vermont
might require a man to be contaminated
by no 'isms,' and communicant member
of some orthodox Protestant church to
boot; also to be able to explain the differ
ence between revenue and protective tar

there was an election to carry, when all

overwhelming numbers against Judge

Our Coming Conquests.

The spirit of Fillibusterism, foiled in al
its bolder and more brazen projects, ha:
lately been compelled to put on guise Of
decency, and its present aims are suffered
to reach the public notice under the re-
spectacle titles Of annexation and colonial
ton. Three favored spots Of this earth
each inhabited by race Of dark skin, are
Just now the special objects of Young
Americas aspirations, and Young Ameri-
ca is countenanccd, indeed typiGed, by the
administration which is secretly or open.
ly engaged in the contrivances for making
these three regions part and parcel of the
United States territory. The Sandwich
Islands, Dominica, and Nicaragua, are the
three countries referred to. Cuba, the
most valuable but most difficult, is laid on
the shelf, to await, We presume, the issue
of the less splendid projects.
The annexation Of the Sandwich Islands
seems to be a settled matter, but not be-
ing iu the secrets of the government, we
can not state any Of the details. 1t is
given out, however, that the treaty of an
nexation will shortly be sent to the Senate,
and the delegate from the far off islands
may be presenting his credentials at the
opening Of the Thirty Fourth Congress.
The Dominican scheme, is just now un-
luckily interrupted in its progress. II
contemplated, as an entering wedge, a
treaty and the cession of Samana as ma
val station. But there was a stumbling
block in the color Of the Dominican skin /;
for the treaty would, as usual, secure to
the citizens of that country in the United
States, all the privileges, allowed to white
foreigners and this would at once alienate
from Mr.. Pierce the affections Of the south
ern friends. So, although the novel expe-
dent of employing a woman, Mrs. Cas-
neau) in the negotiation was resorted to,
the project has failed until some Pian can
be devised to overcome the difficulties Of
complexion. The acquisition of the Sa-
mana foothold is deferred, and the subse-
quent absorption Of the rest Of the
islands, including the imperial domains
Of Hayii, is left to some future Pierce or
Douglas.
To obtain Nicaragua for the United
States, a still more delicate plan is proposed.
It is, to establish colony of Americans in
the territory of the King Of Mosquito, y
parsonage whose authority and title it is
found convenient to recognize now,
although they we're ridiculed so long as
Great Britain presumed to found any
claims upon them. Col Kinney, (of Brad:

Sunbury & Erie R. R. Excursion.

NIAGARA Falls, Dec: 30, 185f.-The
excursionists left Willamsport at 10 o'clock
this morning, but before starting on their
northern tour the train was run down the
link between Williamsport aud Milton, for
few miles, for the purpose of enabling the
party to inspect this portion of the great
work already completed. The visit afford
ed much satisfaction, as the road
was passed over the previous night in
darkness. The road to Elmira goes through
the Wild though rich country; the lofty
bectling hills, teeming with mineral wealth
which the road is calculated to develope,
are scattered on every side. Several fur
naces and mills have been started since
the completion of the road between Will
amsport aud Elmira. About $50 excur-
sionists, including some As members Of
City Councils, continued onward with the
excursion, and the remainder of the large
party returned to Philadelphia. Gov.
Pollock returned to Milton by the same
train. Before leayiug Williamsport he
was presented with handsome gold noun
ted cane made of the original timbers of
the Hall of Independence. The testimoni-
al was the gift Of Mr.. J. W. Coliaday.
At p O'CLOCK yesterday afternoon El-
mira was reached. Here the party was
received by the authorities and escorted
through the principal streets headed by
the Cornet Band. The guests were billet
ed on the different hotels for dinner; the
City Councils being comfortably quartered
at Haight's Hotel. Elmira is thriving
place of 10000 inhabitants, and supports
wodaily andthrec weekly newspapers
evidence of its prcgress.-The visit created
quite an excitement in the place.
1t was arranged to leave that town sufi-
ciently early in the day to enable the par
ty to see portion Of the scenery along
the line Of the road to the Falls. But all
the rich country was sealed book to US,
for eight set in before We left the capital
Of Chemung county, and the Falls were
reached at s o'clock, this morning, after
spending the night in the cars. The
weather was intensely cold and many of
the lszty suffered much from this cause.
The cold is now unusually intense, ersn
