COMMUNICATIVE LESSONS OF
THE LATE ELECTION"

The recent election in CONNECTICUT shows
that both the Wing and Democratic party there
are overshadowed by another party. II is true
the democracy may point 10 the vote on Gov
ernor, as showing that The party "stll lives
in Connecticut but the result in the Congress
sional districts and for members of the egisla-
ture certainly can afford them no consolation.
The Congressman are AMERICAN, and anti-ad-
ministraiion, throughout the Legislature is
ditto, and the Governor to be chosen by the
Legislature ditto.
The grounds on which the battle was fought,
aud the lesson which the result teaches, are
thus indicated by the Hartford Courant:
The new American party have rallied under
living principle They have gone into the
battle with the war cry of "Amorica for the
Americans. They have found that this prin-
ciple was an acceptable one to the American
people, aud have been victorious under it. Is
there any reason to believe that this battle cry
will be any less eliicacious, years hence, to
arouse the universal yankee nationi" Doany
believe that the principle of Americanism--a
refusal 10 be governed by foreigners--a deter
mination not to allow Romanism to decide our
eleciions-will be my less powerful hereafter
We think not, as long as locofoco demagogues
eau control the 'three thousand Irish votes in
this State, and manufacture new voters by hun
dreds every year, from the very dregs Of Eu-
ropean population or as long as lager beer
and whiskey drive the Western Germans to the
polls, as they are now doing in Ohio. So long
IS the grievance stands the party will stand.

dence Tribune well says
whatever the American party accomplish,
by awaking public attention to the monslrous
frauds committed to control the suiirages of for
eigners, and thus disgrace our free institutions,
is positive public good. We are fully salts
fed that foreigners should not enjoy the right
Of suffrage in this country, upon any 9th
or condition than that by which every Ameri-
can holds il, viz twenty-one years residence.
Most foreigners who are naturalzod here are
Ignorant of the first rHdments Of our language,
the nature of our institutions, or the objects of
our government. Il would take most Of them
a lifetime here, to learn as much of these as
our own children know at ten years Of age
But we go farther than that. No man, in our
judgment, should be permitted to vote until he
can read and write, either foreigner or Ameri-
can, and the sooner this position is taken the

VI. & Mass. RAILRoAp.--The bill, loaning the
credit Of the state Of Massachusetts, to the Vermont
& Massachusetts Railroad to the amount Of 81 OOO-
OOO has passed the House Of Representatives Of
that State by vote Of l67 to 20. There is nc
doubt Of the concurrence ofthe Senate.
The Boston correspondent Of the Springfield
Republican complains that, while bills concerning
the measurement Of milk" "relating to the d.
vision of fences" or the propagation Of herring
In Taunton river "cannot get through the House
without being discussed by the hour, nobody should
have anything to cay on such measure as this
and adds, 81 find it exceedingly difficult TO account
for this unwonted and unnatural tacturnity."
fthe aeiibn Of the "Nunnery committee" IL ia
be taken as fair sample Of the manner in which
file Massachusetts legislators discharge their du-
ties, we think the only streak Of wisdom they have
manifested is in combining their discussions to sucl
subjects as are adapted to their comprehension. :
They show a becoming prudence in avoiding deeI
water.

The MASSACHUSETTS, NvSsERY COMMITTEES.
According to the testimony Of the Lady Supe-
rior of the Roxbury Catholic School of the
Sisters of Charity, the Massachusetts Legisla-
tive Committee Of Inspection have good cause
to be heartily ashamed of their conduct at that
institution, as they appear to be. Their inqu-
ny into the facts and the proofs thus obtained
show that this visiting committee acted neither
as gentlemen nor Christians. Their conduct
was not only unlawful and unmannerly, but a
violation of the principles of even common de-
cency. The Know Noihings of Massachusetts
must do better than this or they will be repUdi-
ated by their brethren in other States, as bogus
members of the Order. The Roxbury commit
tee should be compelled TO finish their tour Of
convent and Catholic school inspections 10 pc,
iicoais and sun-bonnets. In this way they
would be less likely to frghlen poor women
and sick girls, with their coarse and housing
curiosity, than in the dress of bold and impu-
dent men.-N. Y. Herald.

New FEATURE IN THE Produce TRADE 1t
is reported that large amount Of gold have
been received from Europe, and sent into
Wisconsin, Illinois and Canada, for the pur-
chase of provisions for the army IN the East.
The purchases are kept, as far as possible, a
secret, and are made through American hou-
ses, yet the fact of the deposit of foreign
gold has transpired, and it is the general be-
lief that the purchases are on I'm ,lish and
French account. The Oswego Times says ssa
considerable quantity of Bank of Eng land
notes have been sold lately in this market,
and it is thought they were sold by the par
ties concerned in these Western purchases
1t is known that several Greek firms have had
agents in this city for the purchase Of grain
AMI provisions, and as the Greek merchants
transact their business with extraordinary
secrecy and closencss, there is little doubt
but that these transactions have been done
by them" This adds confirmation to the re-
port, and it must be regarded as quite the
truth. What effect it will have on our home
markets may be guessed. The price of -four,
ere the next harvest, may reach higher figures
than $40 per barrel Sandusky (Ohio) Re-

A CURE FOR HARD TlMEs.-Sixty of the most
fashionable ladies in New York have formed
society for the promotion Of American in
dust Y, by encouraging domestic manufac-
lures. The members pledge themselves to
weer nothing which is not made in America,
and the fire is spreading. Our good friend,
Charles Stetson, Esq, Of the Astor House,
New York, writes to us under the date Of the
9th ult in which he says, ''Lass evening
there was large sOiree given here; the idea
was, that nothing hut American goods should
be worn on the OCCASION, and the effect was
delightful. American silks could not be found
but calicoes and muslin de lains were all the
rage.'' We would recommend the ladies of
Cincinnati to form a society of the same
sort and resolve to wear only American ma
nufaetured goods; begin the New Year with
this determi lation, make domestic fabrics
fashionable. and We shall soon have good
times. We purchase twenty millions of dol
lars worth of foreign silks every year which,
at 10 per cent. is the interest upon three hun
dred millions Of dollars. Let there be re-
form.-[Cin. Gazette.
