CO Prince Albert, they say, is getting unpop-
ular. On several public occasions, lately he has
been received with marked coldness, almost
amounting to disrespect. The Queen has by de-
grees become mere cypher and relies, it is said,
implicitly upon her husband. The consequence
is that complaint is raised about his Royal
Ilighness' Interference. But it is limited the
real cause of his unpopularity lies deeper than
this. Among the higher and middle classes high
church doctrines are said to have attained to such
pitch that England is fairly in the way to 60
ing over to Rome. Against this the Prince has
put his protest, and The consequence is that all
the ecclesiastical appointments of late years have
been made in favor of the low Or evangelical
party. Hence the dsafection Of the High
Churchmen, and hence the 'unpopularity' of the
Prince Consort.

''The traveller in Switzerland is shown the
thatched roof of a cottage which divides the wa
ters that flow into the Danube and into the Rhine.
The little rain that falls on the one side or the
other of this roof finds its way either down that
dark river which pours its turbd torrent, through
lands accursed with the yoke of oppression into
the Black Sea, it swells the tide of that spark
ling river that flows on to mingle its waves with
the foam crested waves of the free Atlantic, bear
ing on its bosom the commerce of free States.
So in this land, there will be thousands of poll
booths open in November, and the tiny ballot that
falls from your hand will help to swell that black
tide of slavery which is threatening to sweep over
the land, bearing down every free thought, every
generous aspiration, crushing forever the hopes
of freedom throughout the world, or it will
mingle with that bright stream of freedom which
bears the action onward to happiness and pros
perity. On the one side or the other your vote
must fall. You may have reasons satisfactory
to yourself for withholding your vote from FREE
mont. Somebody may have told you that he is
Catholic, or there may be other trivial causes.
Nevertheless, if you vote for slavery, your vote
will live, but your reasons and yourself will die
