A SECOND

The New York Mirror has become quite
conspicuous within the last six months for it,
enthusiastic and eloquent remarks in favor o.
the new American Party, which is creating sucf
a blaze of excitement throughout the Union
In q late number it says that 'the storm cloud
is past (! a political whirlwind is sweeping oyel
the land! Its first mutterings, heard in NUM-
cipalities and villages, have just Numbered
through the ballot boxes of three great States
overwhelming rotton platforms and political
dynasties. With a terrific shock, it has hurled
down party landmarks, and d~emagogues, and
factions. Lightning never quicker purged foe
lid air, than has this new political electricity
smitten and purified the political atmosphere
foul for a besotted generation with foreign
and domestic poisons. A second American
revolution is begun, but not ended; a revolu.
ton only less glorious than that Of seventy
SIX when the fathers set an example for their
children, and cbildren's children, by shifting to
the dust the enemies of American liberty.
A second American revolution! gloriously
begun, and to gloriously end in re.establishing
throughout this land, the supremacy of the
American people-placing the rule and destiny
Of America once more, and forever, in the
hands of Americans. There is no installing
the issue of the conflict. The American spirit
is aroused and determined; the battle against
political cnrruptors and spoilsmen, is to be
waged until not a home traitor, nor a dema-
gogue, nor a foreign dictator is left in a post
of honor or trust-until every watch tower of
Republic is sentineled by Americans, in
hand and in heart. Maine, Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Indiana, have wheeled into the revolution
ary line, and flung out the American flag
Their victory for American principles is over
whelming. 1t astounds political leaders, and
tricksters, and time.seryers. Old parties are
in the death agony.
Is there a politician so blind as not to see
he end Of this revolution! Is there a dema-
Issss~ealdsss eel - Aisd written! =
Is there a foreign-born brawlerNgainst a.
whose insolence is not rebuked!
10 there an American who does not rejoice, and
who will not hasten to swell the American
'anks, victorious in every city, and village, and
hamlet, until the last stronghold Of liberty is
'ecosquered? For our part, we rejoice in this
evolution, without stint or disguise. We hail
t as the salvation of the Republic, and pray it
iod.speed! until the last battle is won, and
I'D political parties, and corrupt, time-sersing
politicians, and foreign influences and organi-
ations on American soil, are swept from ex.
forever"

WESTERN Chicago seems to be a
fayorite point of railroad communication and
connection. It has fourteen trunk lines of rail-
road, and thirty four extension branch lines
communicating with it, embracing an extent Of
1919 miles of railroad. In addition to this,
there are ten trunk lines and three branches,
making 1926 miles more. There will be daily
leaving and entering the city of Chicago, on the
first of May next, forty-six trains, making in all
ninety two trains per day over the roads, to ac-
eommodate travel and commerce Here is fact
which, had we time, it would be worth while
to stop and contemplate A fact of still greater
signitication is, that less than two years ago
they had only one railroad entering tho city,
the Galena and Chicago Union, and that was
finished only few miles

Those who enjoyed his tender friendship will
drop tear to his hallowed memory

NEwsPAPERs.-After being long in the news
paper world, an editor must be very dull or
very unsocal, who does not form a tolerabfy
intimate acquaintance with all the papers on
his exchange st. Chatting with them at his
leisure every day Of the week, he feels as if he
knew personally each Of the editors, and could
draw tolerably faithful portrait of his moral
and intellectual, if not his physical features
Regular authors, who sit down to write books,
may very well manage to conceal their person
atty, or appear only in false and artificial
guise. But 1T is next to impossible for the edi-
tor, who is every day talking with the PUBLIC,
and has no time to wait for anything except
that which comes uppermost, to hide himself or
appear other than he is. Impulsiye or cautious,
modest, or self-coneeited, courageous or time
serving, warm hearted and generous or cold and
stolid, kind and forgiving or cynical and malig-
nant, these men are seen by others IN their
newspapers, as plainly as they see themselves
in their looking glasses, Judging editors by
this standard, it would be difficult for man to
pass morning hour among a more agreeable,
we'll behaved and intelligent sci Of gentlemen
than the editors with whom we chat every day,
through the medium of their papers.
Editors improve in their social qualities, be-
come more tolerant 10 others, and less self-eniu-
ionated, as they obtain more experience in their
professions The painful sense of responsibility.
which weighed upon them when they entered
the profession, wears off as they discover that
they are by no means carrying the world On
their shoulders, and that though they are at
perfect liberty to pitch into anything and every
thing, it by no means follows that any body but
themselves cares a copper what they pfsch into.
1t is only when the press acts as the organ Of
enlightened public sentiment, that its power
