The WANING Power OF THE ENGLISH
QUEEN.--The New York Tribune, in an ar
ticle upon the increasing power of the demo.
cracy in England, makes the following remark
upon the waning influence of Victoria in
affairs of state. 1t says of her:
"Forced to sign treaty Of alliance with
Bonaparte, while she signed declaration of
war against Nicholas in March; rudey called
up to the metropolis by the Times in October,
obliged to send for the distasteful Palmerston
though mitigated by Peeli'es-in Februa-
ry; but ten days later to accept him unmiti-
gated by these courtly influences; and lastly
neeessitated to welcome the French parpenue
in April, in the apartments where, eleven
years ago, she received Nieholas-it il eyi.
dent that Victoria, If she inherit the obstina-
cy, does not inherit the power Of her grand
father. The unfecling Premier now speaks
to the Commons no longer in the eourt!y
language Of 'prerogatiye of the Crown but
OF the executive government In 1871 Louis
XVI felt the slight conveyed in this express
sion, so elegantly abstract and impersona.
and why should not Victoria feel il now p
Thus The democratic influence is pouring into
the House Of Commons by means of its pri.
mary organ, the press. The House of Com
mons, pushed from below, is precipitnting
itself upon the Ministry, and the Ministry,
under like necessity, turns round npon the
Grown, and reduces IL 10 The part Of q mere
hgment Of state"
II is not improbable that Victoria will be
the last monarch who will occupy tho Eng.
lish throne.

E A private letter from Washington
city to the editor of the New York Mirror
thus touches upon the Kansas question:
They are making pretty mess of it in
Kansas. The present state of things was not
exactly "put down 10 the Bill" to repeal the
Missouri compromise, and does little credit to
the political sagacity and foresight of the
authors of that unfortunate measure. Under
the recent developments squatter sovereign
ty seems to be but another name for terrific
rial notification. The President, as usual,
"hal!s between two opinions" and Mr.. Cush.
ing says that no ease has rs yet been present
ed which requires the Intervention Of the
Federal authorities.
The stock Of Cuba excitement is Just now
below par, and except in the event of some
new Outrage" the slow course of negotiation
will he continued, and the manifest destiny"
men must wait, as best they may for the re-
aization of one of their brightest dreams.
The weather has been severely cold for the
season, the last few days, and we have been
reluctantly compelled to 60 back to the habits
of winter.
Philanthropy, see, is being done up
wholesale in your city tho present week.
After the heathens are all converted, the
slaves all liberated and "thc evils of our
present social system" all rectiied, it is to be
hoped that something will be done towards
the solution of the great political problem Of
how chicken can be made to boil in every
poor mans pot.

Mr. George Parks, late of the Parksville
Luminary, in letter to the st. Louis Demo.
crat, says that Messrs. Atchison and Strong.
fellow, have organized secret Association,
the members of which are sworn to turn out
and fight when called on, and that all share
the damage aecruing to any one member
even at the price of disunion. All, also, act
secretly to destroy the business characters of
Northerners. The Benton and Wing presses
are TO be destroyed, and the destruction of
the Hotel at Kansas, and the presses at Law
renee has been decreed, and cannon are being
taken there to demolish them. The members,
moreover, will not stop until every free soiler
is driven from Missouri and Kansas. Mr..
Parks likewise says, that he telegrapbed to
Governor Price and President Pierce, that he
has traced to Mr.. Atchison, the destruction
Of the Luminary office and press, and promis-
es further Developments.

~ The fraternity Of fools may be di

The SECOND DIsTRIcT.-Ihe contest for
Congress- in the Second District we learn is
going on bravely-one Democrat and three
of the opposition still in the field. A few
years since, Wing happened to stumble in-
to the Legislature from the good old demo-
CRITIC county of Greene. On being interro'
gated MS to how it happened, he exultingly
answered.: ~ beat three Democrats, and d--n
me, if couldn't have beat six" We are mp.
prehensive our friend, Col. Cummings, will
90 to Congress with similar opinion of his
ihvincibility-wth this difference: he is n
Democrat and his competitors ara all Wings,
or used to be when we enjoyed the plea
sure Of an acquaintance with them. Where
is the great and almighty "Sam?" Is he
poweress to reconcile difficulties, or is he
only powerful when every thing outside of
the Order harmonizes? But it is none of our
business perhaps, and as we havea great
reverence for the eleventh commandment, we
will say nothing more aboutit Still, we dis
like TO see such good chance thrown away.
How principles dwindle into insignifcance
when they conflict with personal rivalries and
preferences!

The VIRGINIA ELEcTIoHs.-1h elections
in Virginia came off on yesterday, the oath.
A good deal Of anxiety is felt in this State
in regard to the result, rs it is believed it will
have no, little weight in determining the con.
test for Governor here. If Wise is badly
beaten, as no unquestionably ought to be, it
is thought Gov. Johnson's prospects of sue
cess will speedily diminish. The opposition
papers, aud gentlemen recently from Virginia,
speak confidently Of Mr.. Wise's defeat by
from fifteen to twenty Thousand; but since
the Presidential affair of 1852, we put but
little faith in what we hear just on the eve
of an exciting election. And, besides, the
Know Nothings have n way of conducting
their part of tho business very well calculat
cd 10 spoil tho calculations Of the closest OBJ
server. We shall probably know before our
next paper goes to press whether the Old Do
miniou continues faithful to modern demo-
cracy or has cast off the bonds and been re.
deemed and disenthralled by the new party.

LATER FROM TEXAS.


| by The arrival of the steam ship Charles
Morgan, at New Orleans on Saturday, from
Iudianola and Galveston, we have Galveston
dates to the 10th, and from the interior to
the 5th. They contain little news of inter
est, but all comment upon the present un-
precedented drought.
Corn meal, in Marshall, and also in Crock
cit, was 50 per busheI; bacon 90 cents
per pound, and other articles in proper
ton.
The Trinity Advocate learns that the
Huntsville Convention, which assembled on
the 2lst ultimo, failed to nominate candidates
for Governor and Lit. Governor, owing 10 the
meagre representation. The Convention,
however, endorsed the course Of Gov. l.. NJ.
Pease and LIT. Governor DR.. Dickson, and
recommended them for reelection to those
Offices.
During our absence, says Mr.. Marshall, of
the State Gazette, we met with citizens from
many parts Of the State, and found that the
drought experienced here is universal, and in
some plnces much worse than with us. We
observed in Walker county and in part Of
Burleson that there was land too dry to plant,
and many planters have not yet put in their
whole corn crop. The cotton crop is worse
than we have ever seen it, and unless we
have some rain shortly, it will fall far short
Of usual crop. Cold weather and the cut
worm destroyed many fields Of corn east
of the Brazos The oldest inhabitant says he
never knew such a drought as the pres
ent.
The Houston Telegraph reports that rains
have fallen at Montgomery. Some parts of
Leon county have also been favored; with
these exceptions, the drought is still gen.
eral.
In commenting on that all absorbing
topic, the weather, the Gonzales Enquirer
says:
"The mornings have been for the past
week almost invariably cloudy; and each
morning, when we arose, we predicted, with
great solemnity, rainy day, but the very
prediction seemed to dispense the vapors, for
each day after lOo'clock in the morning has
been clear and sunny, with fine breeze. We
are now satisfied with moon signs and cloud
signs and bumbly confess that, as far as the
weather is concerned, we are Know Moth.
ing By the way, our farmers might as well
lay down de shovel and de hoe, for the
spirits, we are told, have announced that there
will be no rain until June! Verify and truly,
We will be in bad fix"
The grasshoppers are still destroying veg
citation in the vicinities Of Gonzales, Seguin,
Lockhart, etc.
In Gonzales the season is very sickly-
more so than ever before known at this
season of the year. There have been sew
era deaths from Scarlet fever, quinsy and
Group. ....,.-
The crops throughout the entire West are
suffering for rain.

sV The public are aware, says the St.

Thursday last, to take into consideration the
case of McCrea who had, at meeting of citi.
zens Of Kansas Territory, shot and killed
MaIeom Clark, well known md highly re-
spected citizen of Tint Territory. This homi-
eide had its origin, not in the question Of
Abolitionsm, but in question about which
all border settlers are most tenacious Of their
rights--the title TO lands which they may
have "located" for their homes. A portion of
the PEOPLE assembled at Leavenworlh desired
further time to perfect their claims; McCres,
and Others who sided with him, were anxious
to Jump" these claims, but thoy were de-.
feated, and hence the controversy which lcd

FRENCH COURTESY IN ARms.-Washin gton
Irving tells the following pretty thing: "a
beautiful instance of the quick and generous
impulses to which the French are prone, is
given in the case of French cavalier, in the
hottest of the action at Waterloo, charging
furiously upon British officer, but perceiv-
ing in the moment Of assault that his adver.
sary had lost his sword arm, dropped the
point of his sabre, and courteousy riding on.
Peace be with that generous warrior, what
ever were his fate! If he went down in the
storm of battle, with the laundering fortunes
of his chieftain, may tho turf of Waterloo
grow green above his grave land happier
far would be the fate of such spirit, to sink
amidst the tempest, unconscious of defeat,
than to survive, nnd mourn over the blighted
laurels of his country"

H- Everybody has heard of" the dignity
of labor" 1t is pet-phrase used by people
who do not labor, for the consolation of
those who do. 1t is standing ornament of
lectures, editorial and political speeches.
But working meh do not seem, if we may
judge them by their acts, TO have very strong
faith in it. Those who can live without
work or imagine they can, generally try the
experiment. The apprentice signs to be
clerk, the journeyman to be "boss," and the
cl ERIK to be merchant. Our police army
is made up principally of men who were
once mechanics, and it might be, quadruped
from the same class. The farmers son who
can get place behind n counter abhors the
plough-handles the trowel is thrown aside
for the ynrd-stick, and tho jack-plane for the
pen.
