CYAN Edinburgh journal speaks Of John
Il. Cough as 1.-THE most remarkable orator
who ever assembled the pulpit or platform in
Great Britain" In many respects, perhaps,
1t is true; for in what constitutes orat0ry
proper, the art of moving men by words adj
dressed to the ear, it is hardly possible to say
that Mr.. Cough has an equal among living
men. He has not the weight Of intellect, the
logical force, the breadth of understanding
necessary to lead strong men, for he is him
self neither powerful nor resolutc man
but he has keen sensibiities, warm svmpa-
thies, and n wonderful power of self
preston, which enables him to move the
hearts of popular audience, to rule their
will and win their assent to an astonishing
degree.
His labors in Great Britain were immense.
and none but physical constitution Of the
utmost endurance could have performed them.
In the two years while there, he addressed
400 meetings, composed in the aggregate Of
100000 persons, travelled 1887 miles. and
carried on an immense cores pondcnce.

adequate bond, by which he obligstss himself to

Gov. HuNT, Of New York, has addressed a long
letter 10 the editor of the New York Commercial
Advertiser in opposition TO the projected fusion Of
the Wings with the Republican party. He re-
views the matter in all its bearings, and in forci
BILE manner as TO command the attention of all
Wings in the present critical state Of affairs. The
repeal of the Missouri Compromise is, of course,
condemned, but In calm and dispassionate man
ner; and, instead of proclaimng sectional war
against the South let us, he says, first appeal to
that portion Of the Southern people, who are still
loyal TO the country, and faithful to timehonored
covenants, invoking them, in the name Of patriot
ism and justice, to come forward and aid in undo
ing the wrong Of which we complain, and in re-
storing that mutual confidence and good will
which impart to the national compact its true
strength and its only value" He denounces the
lawless doings of the Missouri borderers, and says
he will not dishonor the South by assuming that a
majority of her people intend to uphold such pro-
ceedings. In conclusion, he declares it as his
opinion that no substantial good can come of the
projected fusion movement, and that il can achieve
nothing, but to keep onehalf OF the Uaited States
incensed against the other For himself, he de.
clares, instead of forming new political associa.
TONS he will adhere to those cherished principles
which have the approval Of his best judgu ent ;
that he is still Wing, and does not intend to de-
sert the ship, even if he is left alone.
How THEY VorE IN KENTUCKY.-A correspon-
dent of the New York Post, writes thus from
Louisville:
"The Kentucky State elections are conducted
riga poce. The practice heretofore has been for
the voter to hand in his ticket openly, and the
judges would copy from 1t, not requiring the ticket
to be read aloud. They decided at this election
that every man should read his ticket and that
the poll should be marked from the voice. This
DISTINGUISHED all who could not read, or who were
unaccustomed to the language, excepting only so
far as their memory might serve them"
We cannot well see how a man can vote vipa
roce, unless he calls out the names of his candi-
dates. A Sag Nicht from the nature of things,
cannot vote Mira yoce. If man can neither speak
nor read, he ought to emigrate to State where
they vote by ballot, and ego it blind" on election
day.
After all, what a farce in practice Is the adnis-
sion of ignorant foreigners to the elective fran
chise. They are for the most part driven up to
the polls like pigs, by their priests or leaders, the
ticket thrust into their hands, and they compelled
to vote for men they never heard of of whose
names they are ignorant, and of whose quaica-
tons for office they of course know nothing, and
which they could not judge if they did know. If
half of Ireland and all Germany are to be allowed
TO vote here, why not open poll in Dublin, or
Munich, or Cologne and extend the same privilege
to the other half?
