the patient and forgiving organ again comes
forward to endorse the Democracy of these
thrice traitorous bands, and THE Albany Atlas
that Albany Atlas which so cruelty peached
and exposed the bargain by,which immunity
for treason was secured by the price Of the cleo
ton Of Gen. Nicholson
The Executive and the Executive organ ap.
pear to have forgotten a very true and very wise
saying, that if man deceive me once, it is
his fault; if he deceive me twice, it is my fault.
This simple narrative will show how and why
we differed from the Executive in his course
between the Hards and Softs of New Y ork,
and upon the Kansas Nebraska bill
Again we believed that, with good inten-
tons, the Executive erred in making Reeder
Governor of Kansas. The result we all know;
its unhappy fruit is the theme of lamentation
with the Executive. Yet in the organ the
entire political course of Gov. Reeder stands
fully endorsed. We differed from the Execu-
tive in this matter also. Has not the result
justified this difference?
Having differed from the Executive on these
points, we now come to the last act of the Elk.
ecutive his annual and his special messages.
To these we gave our cordial adhesion, and if
all the links from the inaugural to the last
message had all been forged Of the same metal,
good and true, we should never have had
occasion to have differed, nor to have com:
mented upon the dangerous tergiversations Of
the organ.
Our narrative will also show, in the deep
and abiding interest the Executive has in
| Gen. Nicholson, how far he would probably
exert himself in his behalf and that simple fact
accounts for the success of that gentleman at
the late election.

From Australia

The advices from Melbourne are to the I'd of
November, and from Sydney to the n October.
The Melbourne Argus informs us that rice
veins of quartz have been discovered about 20
miles from Geelong. An assay by crushing
and amalgamation gave at the rate Of $50
ounces to the ton. There was great rush of
miners to the spot.
Several failures had taken place in Sydney,
which created considerable want of confidence
in monetary circles, and especially in the Joint
Stock Bank, on which run had been made,
although to small extent. Other failures
were anticipated, but it is supposed the crises
had passed.
The papers contain accounts of considera-
BILE rioting and robbery, and are directing at
tention to the insecurity Of life and property in
consequence of the number and ferocity of out
laws at large Throughout the country
A severe shock of an earthquake was felt at
Taratuaki on the 22d October, by which seve-
raj buildings were destroyed
The season in New Iceland has been unusu-
ally mild, and larger tracts of land were under
cultivation than ever know previously
In Melbourne the price of gold is f3 los.

Mode Of Capturing the Hyena.

"The Rev. n. Davis, in his Evenings in Ny
Tent gives the following account of the pecu-
liar mode Of capturing the hyena: This animal
it appears, has 'two doors, according to the
Arab phraseology, to its abode, on account of
its being SO narrow that it cannot turn about
in it. BY one it enters, and by the other it
goes forth. The Arabs, on observing one of
those animals, watch the hole by which it enters,
and, being prepared with a strong rope net,
they proceed to place it carefully over the
