VIRGINIA AND ILLisoIs.-At the recent elec.

ROYAL LovERs.--A correspondent of the
Boston Post in London, says the Queen is
troubled about an ''affair of the heart" be-
| tween the Princess Royal and the King of
Portugal, now on a visit to the English
court:
Not that there is anything Objectionable
in the latter, either in mind, morals or good
looks, that would render him an undesirable
husband, OF son-in-law, or in the throne he
has to fill, which is all an anxious mother
could aspire after for one of her four daugh-
ters nor that the Queen would not gladly
see the Princess Royal we'll disposed of in
marriage-bu. that the young king is Ro-
man Catholic, and is thus debarred from al
lying himself by marriage, with an heiress
however distant Of the British Crown; mea :
while the young king has fallen violently in
love with the fair girl of 10, who is not in
sensible to his merits, and lets pass no oc-
casion, either by presents, messages or to-
kens, when he is absent or by tender looks
when present to manifest her sincere affec-
ton. They are not of course suffered to
meet, except in the presence of others; but
there are numerous occasions during the
morning walks and rides, or the steamer
trips on the bay, when the lover can mani
fest the sentiments of bis heart to the object
of his pursuit. 1t is whispered that among
the many teachers employed to perfect the
Royal children in tho modern languages.
there is one who is subject oPLis Majesty,
and who is devotedly attached to him. and
through him communications have passed
for a long time which never meet the august
scrutiny Of the Queen.

SWEARING FENCE AROUND GRAVE YARp
Tho Oklahoma News, q Southern paper, pro
poses to put the swearing power of the people
OF that town to some good purpose. Here i.
his proposition, and it furnishes some whole
some rebuke Of a very disgusting as well a.
wicked practice:
Our suggestion is that there be orranizec

ton, for the purpose of raising funds fol-
some useful Object. The power Of profanity
which runs to waste in the streets is cnor.
nous: there's enough of it to bore an Aries
ian well in six months. A single objection
however, to that appropriation of what might
be appropriately called the s'God DAM pow
er OF our community is that none of our bes,
swearers. that We know OF, are experience
we'll borers; and from the present scarcity
OF money arises the necessity of embarking
In some enterprise in which the contributions
could be paid in work, like our peoples sub
scription to the railroad. This leads US to
suggest enclosing the grave yard as praise
worthy and practicable object
Let every member of the assosiation, when
ever he rips out an oath, be obliged to rip
out a paling, and whenever he curses any
body, let him contribute a rail. Weare we'll
aware that the Bible forblds to ssrenier rail
ipg for railing" but we are satisfied that the
injunction has no more application to such
curses as the present than st. Paul's exam
pie of restoring fugitive slave has to cases
where the slave has black skin. We dom,
koow the amount of work requisite to enclose
our cemetry; but we are satisfied that it is
amply within the means of he proposed as,
ISOLATION to accomplish it. There were sixty
one votes polled at the late municipal cleo
ton.
Some few of our voters do not swear (the
Rev. Mr.. 4 and L., for instance
but there are usually a number of accom-
plished swearers in town not yet entitled to
avote, and many of our boys can hold a
hand with any of their seniors. All things
considered, we think the income of the as
ISOLATION might be estimated at half dozen
palinss day from fifty regular contribu
tors which would pale fifty yards day. A
few court days would supply all the rails,
and the Sunday cursing would be especially
set apart as u post fund. The little bows.

What will be the fruits Of this new form
of political organization, here or elsewhere,
will depend ON the degree in wh CHI it rejects
the feelings of the people. If it commands
their assent in its courageous declaration Of
opinions and in the excellence and popular-
ty of its nominations to Office, it will make
its first political campaign in the State of
New York with fair prospect of success;
if it should disappoint the public expecta-
ton, either by the feeb' eness with which it
expresses the general feeling or the equivo-
ca! character of its nominations, it will prove
a failure.
