CHRISTIAN RSsIGNATioS.-Wo have rarely
met with more touching illustration Of
Christian fortitude and submission than Is
furnished in the following extract from let
ter Of Professor RICHARDSON, of Freehold, n.
J., who has recently become blind. IL writ
ing to a friend in Boston, after speaking Of
his loss in burying beloved child, he adds !:
but now have been called TO part with
all on earth; all, however. dear, have been
banished from my sight; the earth aud the
sky are gone; light and beauty have given
place TO darkness; even my own form has
perished from my sight The sun no longer
rises and sets. Perpetual night reigns but a
starless night feel the breath of Heaven as
it passes BY; hear it's mournful music In
deed live only in a world Of sound. Death
seems to have begun his work, and left 1t
half finished. The darkness of the grave
surrounds me the forms of loved ones have
vanished; but their voices still sound in my
ear Time Is at an end, and there is no lon
ger succession Of days-the next light am
to behold will be that of the eternal world,
the mex; morning that bursts upon nv vision,
that of the resurrection. But this is vel
como thought NY mind runs forward and
anticipates with Joy the scenes next upon my
sight. When my spirit sinks within me,
when / think Of what / have lost in this
world, then l find an unfading source Of con-
ISOLATION in anticipating the light, the joy, the
friends of our earlier days who have gone to
heaven"

England and America.

A writer in the Loa{oa ILLUSTRATED Ne,cs,
says:
"If We calculate the growth of population,
we shall find that, in fifteen or twenty years
hence, or even earlier, Great Britain will no
longer be the principal seat of the vigorous
race OF the AnglO-SlxonS; and that, although
that race may continue to rule the world, it
may not be from the banks of the Thames,
or from any part of the old country that gave
them birth. An empire twenty, thirty, or
fifty times as extensive, and as rich as ours,
has already arisen on the other side of the
Atlantic, to entice into its bosom the best
blood which remains to us. The young, the
hardy, the persevering of orr country, and Of
all the countries of Europe, that groan under
the weight of debt, of difficulty, and of a sur
plus population, and that cannot say to their
sons, as the New World does, that every man
Is man, welcome, for the sake of his man
hood. to the great feast Of Nature, where
there is enough and to spare for the meanest,
are daily invited to leave the shores of effete
Europe, and settle in more vigorous Ame-
rica The growth of the United States is, in
reality, the downfall of Great Britain. All
the unhappy circumstances that are of preju-
I dice to us, are of benefit to them With us,
the mouths that clamor to be fed are causes
of decay. With them, every additional
mouth il al additional pair of hands, and
every additional pair of hands is an increase
of wealth, power and influence. Let us pour
our millions into the great valley OF the Mis-.
! sissippi, and it will hold and feed them all
were their numbers quadrupled."

reason Is, because there is no intempersnce.

Nothing can be more absurd nor further
from the truth, than the assertion that party
lines have become obliterated, aud political
parties known only to the past. True, the
Whig party is dead--or, if not dead, is GER
tainly in a trance but the Democratic party
has preserved the integrity of its princi pies
and Reorganization. It"still lives" 1t has,
too, its opponents. each with its peculiar or
ganization and objects. A name has perish
ed party once glorious in its manhood,
has fallen but other parties live on. There
can be no such thing as no parties in our
country. In a republic like ours. where the
people rule, they must of necessity and they
always will exist. The Democratic party
will live while there is republic to main
tain and constitution to uphold; and it viii
always have its opponents. Let not Demo-
Gratis therefore deceive themselves by suppo-
sing that the Democratic party has no oppo-
nents. Nor let it for moment be supposed
that the death Of one party insures the death
of all. Ii is political parties which conduce
to the prosperity of the country. 1t is pub
lie sentiment embodied in an organization
termed party, which gives us good govern
ment through the popular will. There are
evils in all parties and there always will be
but their total nlhllatOn-supposlng such
thing possble--would be calamity to our
country from which it never could recover.
Parties are immortal in arepubic-they will
have an existence. While the Democratic
party maintains its national position, it cannot
die; and while it thus exists, there viii al
ways be found its opponents. Parties have
as much an existence now as they had in the
times of Jefferson and Jackson-their organ
izatiOn is as complete and their endeayors to
obtain hold of the popular viii are not a whit
abated. The Republican aad KnowNot 9TH

Fusion Harmony.

The Cincinnati Commercial, sprightly
Fusion paper. edited with much ability, in
,liscoursing on the probabilities of issues and
parties in the coming Presidential canvass,
gives forth the following prophecy in refe-
renee to the position which the Know-No-
thing wing Of Fusionism is doomed to oc-
cupy. It probably has its eve directed to the
movements Of the American Convention
at Philadelphia. We cut from the paper OF
-the 10th, and shall observe how well the
Commercial has foretold the action of that
Convention. We are somewhat of the opin-
ion that wing Of Rnow-Nothingism may take
slight offence at the diminutiye measure
which the Abolition wing has thus taken OF
them
"Questions touching the spread OF slavery

CHURCH PRoPERTY.-The inquisitive pub
lic having got the church property law, vest
ing the title Of all real estate belonging To
churches in the trustees of the same. has
begun to look around for infractions of that
wholesome statute. 0ur adventurous gentle
man has thrown down the gauntlet in regard
to the Episcopal Methodists, the clergy of
which denomination, it IS maintained, aotu-
ally control the property of the church, and
that, though it is nominally held by trustees.
the latter are, in fact, appointed by and sub
Ject to the will Of the pastor In Office at the
time.-Post
Well, this was to be expected. 1t was said
last year, when prescription forreligious orgn-
ION began first to be the avowed policy of q
party in this country, that when Catholicism
should be used up, Methodism would be the
next victim Of bigotry. Yet the larger por-
ton of Methodists joined in the crusade
against the Catholics-snd now, it seems, the
poisoned chalice is TO be held to their own
lips" and well may it be for them if the cup
be not drained to its very dregs.

The Hero of New orleana

The Louisiana Courier, in speaking of the
equestrian statute, which has lately been
erected in the city of New Orleans, in honor
Of the gallant aud heroic JACKSON, says;
We are to sec that the blot of ingratitude
which has so long rested upon our city's and
States escutcheon is finally erased. Next to
the memory of the immortal and ever to be
venerated Father of his Country, none is
dearer to the American heart than that of
Andrew Jackson, the patriot, the warrior and
the statesman. His fame is world widc--his
name Synonymous with courage, genius and
ardent love of country-his deeds the monu-
ments of his country's glory. As general
be had few equals-no supeFioTs. Cool and
unmoved in the hour of dangcr-watching,
with more than paternal sulicitude, over the
comforts and necessities Of the troops under
his command "a disciplinarian Of ron energy,
pereeiving at glance the Least weakness in
an enemy's position, and availing himself
with ineonceiyable raPdity of the advantage
offered, he may well be said to have been the
type of tha American General. The plains
of Chalmette-the field whereon so many
laurels were gathered by the brave and un-
daunted band of heroes under his orders-pro-
claim these many qualities and attest the su-
periority of his military genius. As a states
man, despite the rancor of party politics and
the vapid denunciations of those whom clasn-
ing interests and opinions frequently brought
him in contact with, history has assigned him
a conspicuous niche Twice elected to the
highest position which the nation could con-
fer-invariably opposed-to everything which
would throw the machinery of government
into the hands of favored few-always ma
tional in his principles and their enforce
ment-the large influence which he exerted
over the minds of the people up to the very
moment of his death, shows the appreciation
and the feelings of respect and confidence en-
tertained for him. But it is needless to enter
into an eulogium of his character or'services
His fame and glory belong to history.
