1loNS-1Wo ISLAND ooNEhEi6Nr TIES COMPARED -
We copy from the JMoniteur Haytien detail
ed and very amusing account of the pomp and
circumstance with which the anniversary of the
Declaration Of the Independence Of that extern
sive and influential empire was lately cele-
brated. AT time when events In Europe are
daily demonstrating the impotence of aristo-
cratic institutions, the refreshing and pleasing
picture which we present to our readers cannot
but, in some degree, neutralse the feeling Of con-
tempt which that fact inspires. We really never
could understand why people should ridicule
niger royalty. Examining the thing philo-
sophically, we do not see anything in the pa
geantry which surrounds it more inconsistent
or ludicrous than the tinsel show Of European
courts. 1t is only the color of the actors which
suggests any difference to the mind, the forms
and substance being almost identical, with,
perhaps, slight difference in favor Of the
darkies. The English monarch, for instance,
exercises less real power and persona. Influence
than the august individual who fills the i'm
perial throne Of Hayt. The latter can make
dukes, counts and "belted knights" at will;
while the royal automaton who is supposed to
rule in England cannot name lady to
her household without the consent Of her
prime minister. In other respects, too,
the position Of the Haytien is more In
dependent than that Of the English monarch.
From reasons Of obvious policy the royal family
Of Hayti are excluded from choosing help mates
amongst the European dynasties, and obstacles
of an equally stringent nature prevent them
from selecting partners from the families Of
any Of our numerous American sovereigus
Thus no suspicious of foreign and animation.
al partialities can ever weaken the legitimate
influence which they exercise over the affections
Of their people. They are Homogeneous in
color and interests, and IL they can only keep
from quarrelling amongst themselves, ebony
rule may flourish forever in Hayti.
In the congratulatory addresses offered to
the Hay tien Emperor on the occasion of this
happy commemoration by the heads of the diff
ferent departments and orders OF nobility, our
readers will recognise truly patriotic and 10y.
al spirit, which we look for in vain amongst the
aristocratic classes Of older countries. The
Dukes OF Marmalade, Limonaae and BGuf-Roti
contrast favorably with the Aberdeens New
castles, Russells and Grahams Of the late Eng
lish cabinet. Their eloquencs may not be Of
so elevated an order, but their hearts are In the
right place, and there is nothing double-ia,
about them. Niggers they are, and nggers
they viii remain. All the gold in the world

Moussa that Pope Plus TX. regards the Emperor
Faustin as one of his most devoted and best be-
loved sons. We can well believe it. The Ro-
man Pontiff lie endeavoring to make up in the
Western for what the Church is losing in the
Eastern hemisphere. He is accommodating a
quiet little ecclesiastical nest egg in Hayti, to
compensate in part for the results Of Spanish
and Sandman spoliations. Who knows but that
he destines Faustin the First and his successors
for the future heroes Of the church militant on
the American continent? II ever the abolition
lists Of the Union should realize their political
dreams, the monarchs of the little island en-
pire Of Hayti may cut an important figure in
the war of religions and races to which that
event will give rise.

FIRTH DAY.

another beautiful day smiled upon Us yes
tscisy. and though il was the fifth day OF the
exhibition, it did not Gag in interest, and the
number in attendance was nearly equal that
OF the day previous.
During the morning the most interesting
feature was the trial of trctting and pacing
horses, and the exhibition Of match horses
The trotting match came of at an early hour,
and the ring was sncircled By large crowd
OF excited spectators. Fifteen horses entered
the ring, aud were first driven or rode around
in single file. Then each took its turn in
trotting against time, four rounds, making 4
mile, being allowed each horse. a light sor-
rel horse, with white feet named by seAral
lookers-or, as white Stockings made the
fastest time-three minutes. a grey horse
driven by II. BrswltsT of this city making
the next best 3 minutes aud seconds. A
small bay horse driven by Clint. Taylor Of
Lafayette was dsened ths best trotter how
ever. and was awarded the red ribbon.
The pacing match came of next. There
were fourteen competitors for the premiums,
nearly all sfwhich were Emo horses anu raced
well. The 6rst horse round, grey driven by
Thoc. Underwood, Lafayette, made the time
in 3;5; ths next Hugh DslEsli's, bay, IN
90, snd the next black in $50. a grsy
driven by Ar. Cook, CT Hancock, was next
and made Is in 2:55, but was thrown in the
shade By dark dun driven BY Hank Denyke,
he mskingthe mile in 2:51. The next horse
was a beautiful roam, rode by Jos. RAY Of
Madison and he came OF the champion A
fellow rode along side of him on bay horse,
as we thought for the purpose of keeping the
roam excited, and he had to gallop along very
rapidly 10 keep up with tho roam and then
didn't do it. His time was 2:3I. Good time
was made afterwards by bay and roam,
they both making the mile in 2:l5, but the
red ribbon was awarded, and very Justly, to
Jos. Rays horse.
All the several Halls were crowded during
the day, with men, women and children,
passing to and fro, admitting the many articles
on exhibition.
Going into Floral Hall, We resumed our la
Dor Of note-tsking. This Hall attrscts much
attoution from all visitors, as it justly ought.
