Ests us in the dissemination Of our ideas among
the people, acted in its usual style on this COCA
sion. 1t is secretly devoted to VIM. Fl. Seward,
and occasionally helps old Marcy in Difficult
ty, and is therefore opposed to the lionizing of
General Wool; but it's conductor made extra
ordinary exertions to lay before his readers the
details Of this demonstration. 1t is troubled
and must have certain kind of credit, which
follows exertion without success The tremen-
dous exertion in the case of the General Wool
dinner forms one Of the richest jokes of the car
nival season, and we should deprive our read
ers of o great deal of enjoyment if we allowed
IL to pass unnoticed
Our young friend has modelled his paper af-
ter our ideas-perhaps, long way after them;
but still, it is an imitation; and his history for
the past two years has been made up Of sue
cession of efforts to equal the Satanic as a
newspaper. How many times he has made him
self intensely ridiculous we cannot say; his
freaks became so frequent that they ceased to
be amusing The last of them has been well
laughed at by all those in the secret and is con-
sidercd to be one Of the best jokes of the day.
While we thank our friend for his aid, we
cannot but regret that he has placed himself
and his journal in most ridiculous position,
and has seriously compromised himself with his
Washington friends. But Seward and Company
must credit it all to the follies of youth and the
general obfuscation which prevails about this
time of the year.
INcENDARY PUBLICATIONS SENT BY AMERICA
TO EuRopE.-It is undeniable that we do send
thousands upon thousands Of incendiary publ
cations every year to Europe. We do not
allude to the journals OF the United States
They may or may not tend to revolutionize the
political notions of their readers across the wa
ter; but they are by no means the incendisry
publications to which we refer; and the two
millions of newspapers which may be assumed
as our annual export, are infinitely less potent
in their effects than other missives from hence.
These are small remittances of money, accom-
panied by letters containing friendly advice,
and breathing sentiments highly favorable to
States. As many as ten millions of dollars
cross the water annually in this shape, with
probably two or three millions Of letters, serv-
ing to enforce the point conveyed in the remit
tance. 1t has been calculated that during the
last year the Irish immigrants in this country
have sent back to their friends in Ireland m
amount not far short of six millions Of dollars,
each cent of which is likely to exercise apower-
full effect in bringing about a political, reli-
gious and civil revolution in the minds of the
recipients. 1t is possible that still larger
amount has been RENTED by the German and
other continental immigrants to their friends at
home. The effect Of these aggregates-let-
tiers, opinions, money, and advice-will pro-
badly be greater in producing revolutions and
bringing about change in the sentiments and
purposes Of the lower classes Of Europe, than
all their native republican leaders could ever
accomplish, or all the established despots des-
troy.
