ODonnel Cabinet worked itself into a high

(Alvarez) has been recalled, and his whole action

CANDIDATES FOR GoyERNOR.-The republicans
of this State have proclaimed John A. King, OF
Long Island. their candidate for Governor. He
is highly respectable and competent man; but
he made rather silly speech in accepting the
nomination, betraying snobbish sort Of sinking
family pride, under which no doubt his more
sensible hearers began to smile. The blood of
one of the fathers Of the constitution runs in his
veins What if it does? What is mans blood
worth if his principles and character be good for
nothing? And why should Mr.. King tell US any
thing about his blood? Don't we all know who
he is? We want a man upon his own merits, and
not upon the blood of his ancestors. Otherwise
the speech Of Mr.. King was pretty much to the
purpose ; but we should be sorry to think that he
has the monopoly Of all the patriotic blood in
the State.
We have now the democratic candidate, Mr..
Parker, and the republican candidate, Mr.. King,
fairly in the field. The rump of the Know No
thing party will probably nominate one Of the
Brookses; and then we shall see what is ODE done,
and where the railroad monopoly and other pc
ncious local influences are most actively at work.

EUROPEAN PREDIcTIoNs-THE UNION on THE
PoINT or DIssoLUTIoN.-The Kansas troubles and
the show Of revolution created by the social dis
orders in California, have, as will be seen by the
letter Of our London correspondent thrown the
partisans Of despotism in Europe into frenzy OF
delight. They see in them certain prospect Of
the dissolution of the Union, and that within the
alarmingly brief period Of twelve months. The
conclusions Of these oracles might prove correct
were they only drawn from sound premises. If
the masses in this country were stepped In igno-
rance and misery, like the great majority Of the
European populations and If freedom of thought
and discussion we're chained down by degrading
and soul-destroying despotiam, such as they are
groaning under, the indications to which they
point would unquestonably be an evidence of
approaching changes in the constitution Of Ame-
rican society. As however. we exist under very
different conditions from those which regulate the
social and political systems Of Europe, no possible
analogy Of results can be anticipated from these
popular ebullitions. With us they are rather the
excuses Of selfgovernment than the invasion Of
the governing power itself They can never,
therefore, assume any form dangerous to the in
tegrity Of the general system. In Europe il i
different There any demonstration Of the popu-
lar will is direct encroachment on the power Of
the State, based as il is upon oligarchcal or ar
bitrary principles in which the popular interests
enjoy but small share of consideration. This is
the reason why Europeans never can arrive at
any sound or rational views regarding the politi-
cal movements Of this country. They regard
events here through the medium Of their own ira
ditions and prejudices, and make no allowance
for the different constitution Of mind which an
American receives from the larger ard more un-
tranmelled sphere Of action in which be moves
1t is no wonder, then that they should sec the
Union periodically expiring, from throes the
slightest Of which would shake European mo-
narcby to its centre.
