modating,' nor the engineer careful while
every one connected with the train had
down right mean and sordid look. To add
to all this, l never saw the old man once,
and almost come to the conclusion that the
road was fast going to destruction
1t was unwise in the managers Of Ohio
railroads to raise the fare, and it was
great blunder in entirely cutting off conf
plimentary tickets. But in all our Amer
lean reforms we plunge first to one extreme,
then to the other, but finally get balanced

Rg~lu his Message to the Legislature
of Massachusetts, Gov. Gardner gives the
following clear and correct view Of Amcri-
can policy:
10 dispel from popular use every for
eign language, so great preserver of un-
assimilating elements of characterize print
all public documents in the English tongue
alone-to ordain that all schools aided by
the State shall use the same language-to
disband military companies founded on
and developing exclusive foreign sympa-
thies-to discourage imported political
demagogues, the broken down leaders of
insular agrarianism or continental red re-
publicanism, whose trade here is to put
themselves at the head of their deluded
countrymen, to organize prejudice, to vi
talize foreign feeling and morbid passion,
and then sell themselves to the highest
partisan bidder-to purify and ennoble the
elective franchisc---to adopt n carefully
guarded check list throughout the nation
to cultivate a living and energetic nation
ality-to developc high and vital patri
otism-to Americanize America--to retain
the Bible in our common schools-to keer
entire the separation of church and state
to nationalizc before we naturalze, and
to educate before either-tO guard against
citizenship becoming cheap-all these con
stitutc a work transcending the ordinary
platform of party, and ranking with the
great movements that originally founded
nations"
We understand, the object of the Amer
lean party is not to exclude-to shut out
the inhabitants of other countries from the
blessings of our form of government-bu
simply to Americanize them. Americans
to your posts, and guard our civil and reli
gious institutions from the attacks of those
influences which have been "nursed il
customs and creeds antagonistical to Re
publicanism." G.

ua Among the events of the last week

p@-" Among the events of the last week
in Washington" says the correspondent
6 the Union, "was the speech of Mr..
Chandler, of Philadelphia, against Know
Nothingism, and in reply to Mr.. Banks, of
Massachusetts. He confined himself to
the point, as to the temporal power claimed
by the Pope, which is the turning point of
the question, and denied for himself and
his co-relgionists, that the Pope has any
temporal power outside of the Papal
States What is the Legitimate inference
from the above? Is it not that he claims
for the Pope the exercise of temporal
power in the Papal States? Who will
deny it to be the object of the Pope and
his followers, to make all the Kingdoms
and States of the earth, Papal Kingdoms,
and Papal States Then, according to
Mr.. Chambers own showing, the Pope
will claim the right to exercise Supreme
power over the whole earth, whether leg
islative, Judicial, or Executive.
This is in perfect keeping with the his
tory of the Mother Church, ever since she
became (from pure virgin) notorious
prostitute; by the establishment of reli-
gion in Gaul, under Clovis; formerly a
heather King, who fell in love with Clo-
tilda, christian princess Of the house of
Burgundy The princess consented to
marry only on condition that he would be-
come christian. He agreed to do so,
was baptized. and christianity became the
established religion of France. The scenes
of blood and carnage that followed, beggars
description. Papacy is the same in every
age, and in every nation. Its march of
power would be ever onward, and its tre-
mendous tendency is to accumulation
We have not seen the speech of Mr.
Chandler, and can therefore only remark
upon it from the report in the Union.

A Know Nothing Victim. "

In strong Democratic county in Penn
sylvania, which usually gave that party
about eighteen hundred votes majority,
Know Nothing Council was formed, pre-
vious to the last election, and soon nun.
bered some eight hundred members. The
time for making the nominations soon
came on; committee was appointed to
look up candidate for the Legislature,
for, as there were only eight hundred of
them, none seemed disposed to seek the
anticipated defeat, which seemed inevita-
Bile. The committee deemed it all impor-
tant that they should secure candidate
whose standing in the community would
command outside votes sufficient to make
respectable show; one, and another, and
still another was called upon, but all de
clined the honor At length some one
suggested the name of the teacher of tho
District School, young man of sterling
worth, who was receiving salary of $500
per annum, as teacher; and who was
warm advocate of the principles of the
new party, and every one knew him to be
'raal live Know Nothing He seemed
to be the man for the emergency. He had
nothing to lose in being candidate-no
popularity-no business. He was a proper
person to be the victim of the weak party.
The committee waited on him, and asked
him to rum The young man expressed
his willingness to stand the canvass, but
said he was unable to pay the expenses Of
printing the tickets, &C., if the committee
would pay the expenses, he was willing to
allow the use of his name for the good of
the party. The bargain was made-the
tickets were printed-the election came
on-the ballots were counted--and the
Victim of Know Nothingism' received
sixteen hundred votes majority over both
Wing and Democratic competitors

THIRTY women of Ostego, Allegan Co.,
Michigan, backed by about fifty men,
marched to the groggeries, of that town,
with axes in hand, and soon cleared them
of all their liquor, by smashing the barrels
and spilling the rum. The landlord Of
the village tavern came down, without a
fight, and promised to quit the business
There had been several aggravated ca.
ses of abuse, arising from the influence Of
the rum holes, which led to this summary
process.

The Tailed Africans.

A few years ago, it was reported that a
French traveller had discovered, in Central
Africa, people who are graced with yer-
liable tail; an anomaly, if true, in the
physical history Of man. This reported
discovery was believed by some credulous
persons with great deal of wonderment,
and by others treated as hoax, not halt
so good as the "moon hoax" of Locke, OF
even the "woolly horse" of Barnrm.

Of the Miam--Niams, who are a people

but found one of them at Mecca, and ex

THE MEDIATIoN.--It is stated that the
French Minister, at Washington, has in
timated to this Government, that the En-
peror will not listen to any proposition for
mediation upon the part of this Govern

This will most likely end this latest pro-
