The New York Journal Of Commerce has
long article reviewing the relative amount
Of the mercantile tonnage Of this country
and Great Britain. Our tonnage, it Is
stated, already equals and will soon exceed
that Of our great commercial rival. 1t
must be understood that this is true in the
broadest sense; that is, the American ton.
mage exceeds, not that Of the British Is
lands alone, but OF the whole British EN-
pire, including all its colonial possessions
It Is very possible that, when the British
returns for last year make their appearance,
the figures may slightly exceed our own,
but, If so, It will be accounted for by the
circumstance that the United States statis-
tics present the tonnage existing on the
first Of July, while those of England are
carried on to the first of January following.
II is certain that, if the increase Of these
six months be added to the American fig
ures, the amount of our tonnage will be the
largest, and it is likely to show continued
gain on that of our rival. So that it is
true to-day, and will be for centuries to
come, that we are the greatest commercial
nation on the globe.

A FRANK ADMIssIoN.-The Louisville
Courier, an old line Whig paper in Kentucky,
while advocating reorganization Of the
whig party, very frankly says:
1--WE do not for moment, suppose that
the wings can have q hope for their own
success in the next campaign. We believe
tits written down in the book of fate that
the democracy will sweep the whole country
at the presidential election in November
next. We do not entertain the shadow Of
adoubt but what they will carry Kentucky
BY sweeping majority. Would it not be
much better, then, for those wings who
have principle, and not selfinterest, in view
to support their own men and measures,
especially when they know that in doing 50
they more certainly secure the present sue
cess OF the democracy, which they regard
- necessary" r17a

Hear an Old Clay Whis!

The Bardstown (Ky.) Ga1ctte, conduct
ed by Hon. H. NJ McCarty, has repuda
ted Fusion, and enrolled itself under the
Democratic flag. The following is an ex
tract from its prospectus for 1856, and il
will explain ITSELF
The BARDsTowN GAZETTE was com
menced in l84l, and was for years the
organ, in this Congressional District, of the
old Wing party. 1t was the advocate Of
all the. leading Wing measures SO ably con,
tended for by Clay, Webster, and the
other Wing champions Of the past genera.
tions, and so long as there existed nation.
al Wing party, it was always found battling
for the success Of that organization. But
when that party disbanded, and its leading
adherents basely deserted its ranks and
skulked from its flag g-amagamating them
selves with n corrupt secret faction, whose
principles were opposed to the spirit and
genius of our Constitution-the editor Of
this paper refused TO follow them, and at
once assumed an attitude of independency,
and adopted for his motto that genuine
freeman's sentiment,
Pledged to no factions arbitrary sway.
Well follow TEUTH whereer she leads the way
And sure we are she will never lead the
way into a Know Nothing hiding hole or
council chamber
Devoted to the strict principles of
right and justice, VIC refused to sacrifice
our convictions Of duty to secure ephemeral
popularity, or to gain the Almighty
Dollar The editor never did aud never
will
Bend the supple hinges Of the knee,
That thrift may follow iawning.
1.-THE paper is enlisted for the war--aye,
for life-ngainst the bigoted, proscriptive,
and anti-republcan party which, first under
the name Of Know Nothings,' more
latterally under the deceptive title of
Americans (what unholy proclamation y
are endeavoring to get the reins Of this
government into their hands.
We consider that party as the most
dangerous that has ever arisen in this coun.
try, and one whose fruits must ever be
what they have been so far--nothing but
anarchy, broils, dissensions, sacrilege and
bloodshed. Against this party and its odi-
GUS principles we shall battle while we have
mind to think, or strength to guide the
pen.
Furthermore, we are thoroughly con-
vinced that the National Democratic party
is now the only party in the country upon
which the people can rely for National
preservation-for the integrity of the bless
ed Union-for domestic peace--for the
security Of their personal rights and the
maintenance Of their religious liberties.
ave believe that the National Demo-
cratic party is the only organization that
has either the ability or the disposition to
procure the election of man standing
upon platform which the South can in-
dorse.
"Thus believing, we expect 70 give that
party and its candidates our unwavering
support, now and throughout the coming
Presidential canvass.
"By vigorous, constant, earnest and
patriotic effort upon the part Of the un-
sworn freemen of Kentucky, we have no
eurthly doubt but that our proud State
can be redeemed from the thraldom Of
Know Nothingism, and for one we intend
to devote ourself to the work, and hope to
do our duty, our whole duty, and nothing
but our duty" .l

MORE KNOW NOTHING REFoM.-A Mr..
Weeks Of the Massachusetts House OF Rep
resentatives, offered on the 18th March,
the following order for the Judiciary Com.
mittee ls l9H ilanamna1 baa
ORDERED, That the committee on the
Judiciary be instructed to inquire what, II
any legislation, is necessary for the sup
preston Of dances, dancing schools, balls.
cOtillon parties, and all other such like as
semblies, on Saturday evenings, and report
by bill or otherwise. 1sf 10
The House postponed action on the reso-
luton for the present but should the
clerical Know Nothing strength be esuiicient
and there are many Rev. members,) 70
give hopes Of success, dancing will soon be
put under the ban Of the law in that State.
Everything that refuses submission 10 the
Puritanical notions Of the orthodox clergy,
: way down east must be interdicted BY
the authority Of the State. When the
secret order fails to prescribe TO please the
black coated sachems Of Know Nothing
ism, they appeal to the Legislature for aid
in completing their worldly designs. The
power Of the church and the rule Of the
pious pretenders, is tho end they aim at !;
but we predict they are destined to bo
sadly disappointed. s Church and State,
Pnlpit and Politics, can never unite and
prosper. Each must be limited to its
proper sphere, or both viii perish In the
attempted union. a Render, therefore,

POET RY.
Trip Lightly.

Trip lightly over trouble.
Trip lightly over wrong.
We only make grief double
BY dwelling on 1t long.
Why clasp woes hand 50 tightly'
Why sigh DER blossoms dead!
Why cling to forms unsightly7
Why not to joy instead'
Trip lightly over sorrow.
Though this day may be dark,
The sun may shine tomorrow,
And gladly sing tile lark.
Fair hope has not departed.
Though roses may have fed.
Then never be down-Kearted.
But look 70 10y instead.
Trip lightly over sadness.
Stand not to rail at doom,
We've pearls to string Of gladness
On this side Of the tomb;
While stars are nightly shining,
And heaven Is overhead,
Encourage not repining,
But look for joy instead.
