Piedmont to conduct the war!" 1t also esti-
mates that Hungary may be aroused, and adds:
"When Austria measures herself against
the great powers, she must not forget that
wherever her enemies appear, they may count
upon the support of her own subjects. She
is in the most imminent danger of becoming
a second Poland, and affording, by her dis
memberment, an indemniication for that war
which she fondly thinks is being carried on
for her exclusive advantage"

fY- Gov Bigler, when stumping the State
of Pennsylvania, was, according to the custom
there, escorted from county to county by a
committee of what he supposed were leading
and accredited democrats, who would, on his
going into the next county, put him into the
hands of another such committee. OF course
their business was to advise, encourage and
applaud him, and they did this particularly
when he was most severe on the new party.
What was his surprise at the end of the
campaign when he found that he had been
conducted all over the State, not by demo-
Gratis, but by the disguised Know Nothngs!

sB~ The London Times, commenting upon
the reported proposition of Russia to nego-
tiate peace upon the four points contained
in the note of 9Th August, intmates belief
that it is a mere ruse, "to paralyze as long as
possible the military action of the court
of Vienna" and holds this significant lam
guage:
We can foresee no prospect of peace until
the fortune of war has decided whether the
influence Of Russia or that of England and
France is hereafter to preponderate in the af-
fairs of the East and of Europe. Thai in a
dispute ,ohich negotiation aoiH not terminate,
especially at moment when the contest is
raging with the utmost earnestness against
the stronghold of Russian power; and the
fate of the allied armies before Sebastopol is
the event which will determine the course
of negotiation. There is no road to peace but

THE CASH SYsTEM-"Commerce !" And
what business is commerce Barter, the
strict exchanges of commodities, is now
merely an incident of business intercourse
If carpenter wants pair of shoes he buys
them. If on credit, he expects to pay for
them, with money. He does not exact the
exchange of piece of his handiwork. This
rule applies through all society. But when
a settling takes place, there is an exchange of
bills as part of the adjustment of accounts,
and out of this thing alone innumerable diff
culties arise. The first great object, the
prime aim of every man, should be, therefore,
to do cash business, and every man who
does not do this, is false to his best inter-
ests.

WASHINGTON, Dec. II.

The intelligence from Honolulu confirms
the belief that treaty for the annexation of
the Sandwich Islands is about to be coEsum-
mated there and will be soon received here.
The President, it is also believed, will cordi-
ally embrace the proposition, and recommend
it TO Congress. The treaty will require the
action of The House to give it effect, and it is
not probable that the Senate will sanction it
without much opposition. If the measure be
adopted, it will furnish strong argument
for the augmentation of the navy. The for
LITIGATION of the island must be commenced
forthwith. No necessity can be shown for
the annexation at this time.

Our ARMY.-One ninety-ffth part OF the

peaceful during the twelve months, and Billy
Bowlegs has behaved "irst-rate," as he said

much of an institution to boast of, so far as
numbers are concerned. Gather all our force
together, and let man of sound lungs essay
to lecture them--he would find 1t no difficult

THE MATHEMATICIAN LAWS


The Philadelphia Ledger says that those who
contend for Congress fixing twcnty-one years
rs the period Of residence for foreigners be-
fore they shall DO naturalized, suppose that
the matter is within the regulation Of Con-
grcss. This is partially and practically n mis-
take. Congress only regulates the subject
as far as citizenship of the United States is
concerned. The individual States claim and
exercise the right of allowing any resident
the privileges of voter on just such resi-
denee as the State Constitution may say is
necessary. Michigan allows any foreign
born citizen to vote on six months residence.
The greater number of States have abrogated
the period fixed by the laws of the United
States. But the fact that States are sover'
eigns in their local affairs. and that some Of
them have altogether different rule, shows
that Congress has no power over the individ-
ual States upon this subject. This princi-
pie has been judieially established in Michi-
gan.

rsy-4 x,p the intelligent Washington cor

eY-" X" the intelligent Washington cor
respondent of the Baltimore Sun, writing I'M
der date of the 18th inst, says;
The consideration of the Pacific Railroad
bill has been again postponed until the month
of January. II is difficult to say whether
Congress by that time will be more harmoni-
ous than it now Is, Notwithstanding the christ
mas turkeys on which the members will have
Toasted in the meantime. There are too ma
ny small political questions on the tapis,
to allow great ones to be discussed and acted
upon.
The only difficulty in regard to the annex
alton of the Sandwich Islands is not IN the
opposition of England or France, but in the
admission of the Islands as a State, into the
Union. The doctrine of selfgOvernment,
even under a territorial state Of existence, IS
not without its difficulty of application, and
should the annexation scheme be submitted
to Congress, will lead to most interesting
debate, which may possibly revive some Of
the old issues.
Mr. Buchanan will certainly come home in
the spring, and after his return IN entire re-
modelling of the corps diplomatique in Europe
may become necessary.

GREAT MEN.-Geo. Whitfield, recently
elected delegate TO Congress from Kansas
Territory, if we mistake not was in the Leg
islature of this State in 1851, and was noted
for his speech-making propensity, and was

election in Kansas he has been transformed
into great man, and become the subject of
studied euloges and labored panegyrics in
many of the papers, and occupies space in

"a" Invisible Green, the facetious Local
Of the Cincinnati Times, sometimes makes A
happy hit in speaking of men and things. In
the paragraph below he gives the best answer
to the great question of "who are the people,
that we have ever seen. There is no doubt
at all, but that "the people" are MS "Mr.
Green" says great institution.
The people! Who are they? We hear
so much about them that we must press the
enquiry. During political campaigns, n gath
ering composed Of stump speaker, dozen
office holders, and the same number of
''rounders," is called mass meeting of the
people; during bank panics, a hundred or two
skinned deposiiors, are sympathized with MS
the people; store-keeper who does small
business, advertises that he Is patronized by
the people; and there never was show, from
the live Anaconda down TO the Baby Ee-
plant, that was notthe iayorite Of the people.
Political schemes to increase taxation and de-
moralize public sentiment, are adopted for
the good of the people; rags are issued rs
currency for the benefit of the people; courts
dignifiedly usurp law and commit injustice to
protect the rights of the people; clergymen
and priests preach piety and practice extraya-
gance as an example for the people; and
piles of money are being continually spent
upon lazy, loafing, drunken demagogues, to
make laws for and protect the people! Verify,
in these latter days the people are q great
"instltutlon," beyond all doubt.

EXTENSION OF A CONSTITUTIONAL
DDTNNTpI Z

The Consultation of these United States
expressly forbids the election of any foreign
born or adopted citizens to the Office of Pres
ident Of the Republic. This, says the Geor-
gia Citizen, it is admitted on all hands, is n
just and proper prohibition, to guard the eta
del of liberty from the liability of being rs
sailed by Foreign Influence, and to remove
the possibility Of the government being wrest-
ed from its legitimate purposes by foreign
Vaccinations. Well, then, if it be just to re-
quire our Chief Magistrate to be an American
born citizen-why is it wrong to extend the
principle and exclude aliens from the Halls of
the Senate and House of Representatives
from seats on the bench Of Justices-from
Govornorships and other places of trust? On
a certain occasion the order was passed from
the Head Quarters of the Commander of the
Armies Of the Revolution-"Let none but
Americans be placed on guard to-night."-
There was signifcancy in this order which
was calculated to starte the stoutest heart,
as it limited oftreachcry to be guarded against,
but in it there was also hope mixed with con.
idence, as it interposed the bulwark of Amer
lean hearts and the fidelity of American Pat
riotism against the danger that was lurking
in ambush.
AS it was then, so may it b again. The
"price of Liberty is eternal vigilance" and
surely, none are more worthy of trust, when
danger threatens or when efforts are making
to introduce the Trgan horse into our midst,
than the sons of revolutionary sires, in whose
hearts has been enkindled the pure love of
American principles and Of American honor.
Let the word then go forth, from the noun
tain to the seaboard-"Let none but Ameri-
cans be placed on guard to night, Let "none
but Americans rule America" and we may
yet longer lie down in sleep, without dread
for the stability Of the pillars of the Con-
federacy.
