Is there no arm that can stop this shedding

10 what are we Tending.

It is startling to the newspaper reader in
these times Of our outward, Seeming, pros
p6rity, 10 behold the record of the fearful
increase Of an grades Of crime, from petit
larceny to brutal and hellish' murder
Scarcely paper that finds It's way to our
sancturn,, from avillage weekly to city
daily but adds another item to the black
and bloody catalogue. Day after day we
read andlshudder and sicken at the recital
and ask 70 what are we tendingP
II does really seem that the genius Of
Law and Order is about to gather up her
feet apd take her departure forever from
our beloved land, and in her place leave
nothing but the fery-eyed fends Of Moboc-
raey, and Murder, and Arson, to revel in
the tomb Of Patriotism. Our principle
cities, North and South, East and West,
have but lately been the theaters of actions
that would have made a Venitian or a
Roman turn pale. New York and Boston
and Brooklyn, and Cincinnati and Louis
vile and New Orleans have done deeds
which are calculated. to draw hot tears from
every lover Of peace and quiet and, as a
general thing, the Offenders have gone un-
whipt Of justice. The reason why such
things are winked at is the very one that
makes us approhensive for tire we'll being
Of society in the future 1T is not because
our laws are defective We believe that
our jurisprudence is pure and good and
Wholesome ;and, il effectively carried ont,
and vindicated, the best in the world. But
thereisa something, in this as well as in
:, all the republics that have hourished in the
worlds history, that is behind all law, and
sometimes ahead Of justice. That some
thing is Public Opinion-a sort of higher
law that is recognized in all quarters of
the Union, in the South as well as the
North Il is here that danger threatens
us, for Public Opinion is the grand princi-
pie upon whose tide the destinies Of this
, country is TO be borne. If that, as hereto

The, principle of popular outbreaks has
been and will continue to be the banc of
democratic institutions, and we think that
tits high time such things were stopped,
and We 60 back to the good old time when
our fathers waited for Justice through the
alembic Of Legality
But for these murderersthatstalk abroad

who cover their bloody deeds with the ebon
mantle Of deep darkness-where is the rca-
son aud where the remedyl The law is no

Public Opinion does not sanction IT, Why,
then, this ,Arithmetical progression in this
partieularl Isit because we are forgetting
the lesson taught BY those who won for us,
at the expense Of their best blood, the
rights and privileges we now enjoy! We
fear that it is TOO true-that individually,

Navigating the Pacific.

At a meeting of the members of the
British Association for the Advancement
of Science, held at Hull, on the l4th Sep
tember, the Rev. c. G.. Nicolay discoursed,
in the geographical and chronological sec
tion, upon the Importance of certain places
in the Pacific with reference to great circle
routes across that ocean:
"The general want of appreciation Of
great circle sailing is evidenced by the
routes selected by steam packet companies
both 10 the east and to the west This
has arisen from the habitual disc Of Merca-
tors projection. To facilitate the consid-

and tables of distances have been com
pletely calculated From these the dis
tapces involved in the Pacific route to
Australia via the IsthmuS Of Panama, ap-
pear to be, from Lands end to Panama,
4,369 geographical miles from Panama
to Sydney, 1850 miles making altogether
1903 miles. But from the Lands end
to Hobarttown, via the Cape of Good
Hope, is only IL, 200 miles-S49 miles
shorter. The facilities afforded on the
route from Panama ore, however, great
The Galapagos Islands, where the exist
ence of coal is reported, afford a refuge
from the horrible climate of the Isthmus,
and they offer every advantage for a depot.
The steam company formed for the purpose
of effecting communication by this route,
proposes Tahiti as the intermediate depot,
but Tahiti lies far out of the shortest track,
and is dangerous Of access from the east.

The conclusions come to by by Mr. Mic
olay are, that what is now called the over
land route to China, ought to be the most
rapid until one is opened across North
America. That by the Cape has the next
preference, while the advantages Of that
by Panama are almost exclusively confined
TO the Southern States Of the Union and
the West Indies and with respect to
them, it will be superseded by the overland
route. British Northwest America, Mr..
Nicolay considers more favorably situated
than any other part of the coast in the
Pacific for commanding the trade of that
Ocean, and the establishment Of rapid COM
paunication with it, and the development
Of It's resources are, therefore, objects Of

From the Kentucky Geoman.
The Passage Of the Nebraska Bill.

We have already said and published so
much in regard to this measure, that we
scarcely deem it necessary to write any
thing further upon it.. But we cannot
withhold our hearty Congratulations to our
readers, and through them to the whole
country upon this, one>of the most impor-
tant triumphs ever achieved in our country,
by men devoted to the. best interests and
common welfare of the Union, over ram
pant fanaticism and unholy aboltionism-
Never since the days Of the Hartford con
vention was viler means used to defeat the
cherished wishes of the people. Its oppo-
nents fought it with an energy amounting
almost to desperation, or, as they termed
it, to the bitter end.' Through their
agency, inAamatory documents, calculated
to rouse the most damnable and hellish
passions that slumber in the human bosom.
Ministers of the gospel, protesting to be
ambassadors Of peace, threw aside the man
tie of religion and good will and charity,
and descend from the public to the politi-
cal arena, and while there invoked the ven
geance of heaven upon all those who de-
Tended it. Over three thousand clergy
men of New England turned politicians to
defeat it, and in their mistaken philanthro-
by, turned their faces to heaven and protest
cd in the name of Almighty God against
its passage. The Abolition press thunder
ed column after column of invective, and
their hirelings received pay for the damn
ing work, in the empty honor of burning
our purest citizens in efiigy. Treason and
arson and murder was recommended rather
than such law should be enacted.
But it has passed and those three
thousand ministers can now 60 back to
their pulpits and proclaim obedience to
the laws of God and man, in accordance
with the teachings o.. the Bible-they can
now turn their undivided attentions to the
congregations under their charges instead
of to Congress. The New York Tribune
can now cease to invite men to apply the
torch of the incendiary to the Capitol, for
the eyes Of its editor will never be gladden..
