the name Of the new Yankee party
which is to place Mr.. Gunner, Mr..
Reward, or Donna Abby Kelly in the
Presidential Chair in 1856. The idea
of a young Africa party is a great
one, and ''woel has accordingly taken a
start" Greeley thinks he has force
enough to make u President. but Sum
nei alleges that too many Of his Lee
gion revolt to give him any confidence
in them. Seward maintains that they
'pust first conquer the Principalities,
(Kansas and Nebraska,) and emanci-
pate The slaves Of Cuba by English
intervention. After that, lie says, eveay-
thing will go easy, Donna Abby
Kelly says, pay no respect to The con
stitutinn, but deposit your votes in
your carpet bags, and carry them down
to Congress, and if they wont receive
them, q blow them up" Mr. Seward
is generally considered ly his party
as too graspinn, aiming at the whole Of
Canada, besides Jamaica, st. Domingo,
aud the islands Of the Pacific Oecan.
This terlifes the Amahonian portion
Of the party, who want to live to real.

in power. Sumner, however, tells
them they must live for posterity, not
themselves. Right all right cries.

grand chorus Of ''oll Folks at Home. :,
Certainly Young Africa takes
bold ground il regard TO The future
but still holder in relation to the pres

Greeley Why, answers Sumner, you
must treat the constitution as If it did
not exist Never mind The laws.
Touch thcm with The wand Of freedom
aud down they tumble, rotten as Tie
walls Of Jericho, Excellent Grand idea,
that cries Donna Abby Kelly. A
grand caucus Is to come off shortly. Id

INFLUENCE OF CLIMATE ON THE
CoboR OF MANk1Np.--For 1900 years
the Jewish race has been dispersed in
to different latitudes and climates, and
they have preserved themselves most
distinct from any intermixture with
the other races Of mankind. There
are some Jews still lingering in the
valleys of the Jordan, having been OPP
pressed by the successive conqnsrors
of Syria for ages--a low race of poo
PIE, and described by trustworthy tray
ellers as being as black as any Of the
Ethiopian races. Others Of the jew
ish people participating in European
civilization, and dwelling in the north
ern nations show instances of!the light
complexion, the blue eyes. and light
hair Of the Scandinavian families, We
sec then how to account for the differ
enee in color, without having to refer
them to original and specific distine-
tions.--Pr9f Otcen
