MOUNT VI
THE UNITED STATES AND ENG
LAND

The Mayor of London recently gave a
dinner to Mr.. Buchanan, our retiring Minis
| ter. In response to an address from the
Mayor, Mr.. Buchanan, in the course of his
remarks, alluded as follows to the difficulties
between the two countries:
with regard to the two countries, what
dreadful misfortune it would be to the
whole human race if they should ever again
be involved in war! How it would iniure
and throw back the cause of civilization and
human liberty How it would delight the
despots of the earth to find those two nations
destroying themselves, and in that way
destroying every hoped progress to man
K1nd. noId 1t that there can be no political
slavery where the English language is the
language of the country. 1t is impossible;
and, SO far from there being any jealousy,
so far from its being proper that there
should be any jealousy in either country as
to the honest and fair extension of the
frontiers of either it ought to be considered
blessing to mankind that they should have
the opportunity of extending their freedom
and liberal institutions over all the un-
settled parts of the earth. am sorry to
say that, with all these feelings and senti-
ments, from the first separation of the two
countries there has unfortunately always
been a group of unsettled questions. There
is cloud now impending over their rela-
tions; but trust in God, and believe that
that cloud will be speedily dissipated, and
that the sunshine of peace and friendship
will become more and more bright between
the two countries. until all the dissensions
which ever existed between them shall have
passed away, and shall only live in history
as record of the folly of two people who
could for moment suppose it possible to
engage N a fratricidal war;

MEANNEss.--TheD Detroit Tribune re-
lates the case of man who fell overheard,
from boat on the lakes, IN that vicinity.
His life was saved by throwing out into the
water bunch of shingles, upon which he
caught and hoated until he was rescued
When taken on board, without expressing
any gratitude for his deliverance, he told
the captain, with considerable agitation,
that he should expect pay for his shingles
that he had thrown overheard! Capt.
Ward replied that he was very sorry-that
if he had known the shingles were his, he
would not have done it,
II The above equals the case of Bill
johnson, the constable, who levied on an
old lady's ducks, TO pay small grocery
bill. He wanted the old woman to drive
,em up and ketch 'em for him. She told
him to ketch 'em himself, and 30 he chased
'em round and round the house, and every
time he'd ketoh duck, he'd set down and
wiring its head off, and charge mileage"

NAME IN THE SAND.
BY G. D. PRENTICE.

BY G. D. PRENTICE.
Alone walked on the ocean strand,
A pearly she'll was in my hand,
1 stopped and wrote upon the sand
My name, the year and day;
As onward from the spot passed,
One lingering look behind I cast,
A wave came rolling high and fast,
And washed my lines away.
And so methought, twill quickly be
With every mark on earth from me!
A wave of dark oblivion's sea,
Will sweep across the place
Where have trod the sandy shroe
Of time, and been to me no more;
Of me, my day, the name bore,
To leave no track or trace.
And yet with HIM who counts the sands,
And holds the water in his hands,
I know lasting record stands
Inscribed against my name
Of all this mortal part has wrought,
Of all this thinking soul has thought,
And from these feeting moments caught,
For glory or for shame.

THE BEAUTIES OF CREATION
BY JOHN BROWNING.

Ours is a lovely world! how fair
Thy beauties, even on earth, appear!
The seasons in their courses fall.
And bring successive joys: the sea,
The earth, the sky, are full of Thee,
Benignant, glorious Lord of all.
There's beauty in the break of day; a
There's glory in the noon-tide ray;
There's sweetness in the twilight shades
Magnifcence in night-Thy love
Arched the grand heaven of blue above,
And all our smiling earth pervades.
And if thy glories here be found
Streaming with radiance all around,
What must the Fount of Glory be?
In Thee We'll hope-in Thee confde,
Thou mercys never ebbing tide!
Thou loves unfathomable sea

MILITIA OF THE UNITED STATEs.-We

Archbishop of New Yor

Political AMALGAMATIoN.-Und this
.heading, the Alexandria, La, American, Of the
9Th inst, has the following startling an
nouncement:
We have hitherto refrained from noticing
the infamous fact, that n precinct in this
parish is controlled entirely by n colony of
free negroes! We have done so, because We
were unwilling to expose so foul II spot upon
the fair fame Of our parish, if other means
could be found of removing it; but we are
compelled now to announce to the people of
Louisiana that precinct in this parish
famiiarly known as the "Ten Mile Precinct"
gives large vote, nine tenths of which are
cast BY mulaftoes and free negroes! At the
election on Tuesday last that precinct gave
one vote for the American ticket, and seventy.
eight for the Democratic ticket. To this,
however, We have not the shadow of an OBJ
lection. We have no desire that negro
mans vote should be given to American can
didates, and we know that the man who enst
the single ballot there for Fillmore was
white. But we do protest against decent,
respectable men countenancing and winkng
at the atrocty of negro saffrage; and we also
protest against men (whose claims to respec-
liability and decency, if once doubtful, can
now no longer BE- admitted) going among
these negroes in the shall fellow well met"
style, rallying them round a ballot box of
their own, placing the ballots in their hands,
and urging them on to outrage the Constitu.
tion, break the law and trampe upon the
rights oil legal voters.

DEATH OF JOHN c. LARUE OF New Or.
LEASs-The N. o. Picayune announces the
death of Judge John c. Larue, which occur.
red on the 10th ult., very suddenly. The
Picayune says:
"'rhe manner Of his death was awfully
sudden. His wife had been indisposed, and
he remained home to keep her company. lie
lay on n low sofa, quite well and uncommon
" cheerful. She recned along the floor,
leaning on his shoulder, his arm about her
the child on the sofa, playing with its father.
Suddenly the little girl asked, abruptly, "Pa-
pa, what makes your eyes roll 500" and with
n convulsive stretch he said to his wife, "My
darling, | am dying Not unused to spasms
of illness, she answered, Don't dear-don't
dear-dont't frighten me So" Il tell YOU"
replied he, with emphasis, ii am dvng."-
She started to get restoratives; he said, "No,
no." She rushed to the window, calling for
servants, "a doctor! n doctor!" and turning
saw his face distorted and his hands cenched
His only words were, "No, no; let me die in
peaee!" when his face recovered n smiling ex-
preston, his limbs relaxed, and he brcathed
but two or three times again. The shrieks
of his wife and child alarmed the house and
the neghborhood; but all efforts at resuscita-
tiou failed. From fulness Of life to torpid
death, the interval was scarce five minutes.
Judge Larue was formerly editor of the
N. o. Crescent He was man Of fine tall
ents and fine cultivation.

THE DEMOCRACY ON FOREIGNERs.-So long
as the foreigners vote tie Democratic ticket
the Democratic leaders f,ll down Ind worship
them and place them far above the native
born citizens in the scale of intelligence and
patriotism. While they are Democrats they
are the saviors Of the country, but the mo-
ment they dare to exercise the right of think
ing for themselves, at the very first intma-
tion of insubordnation TO the despotsm of
Democracy, the vlest abuse and execrations
are poured out upon them. lllthe South, the
foreign vote is the main stay of the Demo-
cracy. In the Northwestern and New Eng.
land States, it was divided, in the last elec.
tiOn, between Buchanan aud Fremont, and to
this detection the Buchnecrs attribute for the
most part the overwhelming defeat they sus
tained in that section. Hear now what the
Richmond Enquirer, the most rabid Sag
Nicht organ in the South, says Of its former
allies. 1t says "the negroes are much more
capable Of nteIIigently exercising the right
OF suffrage than the ignorant Dutcbmen at
the North, whose votes car he bought for n
dollar, or Gil of lager beer" And yet Gov.
Willard, in his speeches at the Galt House in
this city and at Lexington, declared that, if
the liberties of this country were ever pre-
served, it would be done by the votes of the
100000 foreign born voters in the Union.-
The principles of the Democracy are rs
changeful as the weather. They are hot in
one place and cold in another.-Lou. Jour.

A FEMALE VIGILANCE CoMMITTEE.-A
correspondent Mt Moorsvile, Indiana, has ia.
vored the New York Tribune with graphic
account of the uprising of the women in that
vicinity in defiance of law and order, and sue
Seessiuly putting an end to the rum traffic in
their village. On the afternoon of November
lst the church bells gave forth some ominous
peas, upon hearing which the proprietor of
the rum shop closed his doors and put the
blinds up before his windows. The women
soon assembled before the place, and finding
thev could obtain admittance in no other way,
burst the place open. The rum barrels and
kegs were taken out of the place, the heads
STAYED in and the contents spilled on the
ground. The female mobiles then dispersed.

A New PARTY.-A new system of cure
has been introduced in New York, under the
title of Kinesipathy. II is also called "the
movement cure," and consists in giving the
patient good pommeling, rubbing, stretch.
ing, and twisting. The plan would seem to
be to unseat the disease by mechanical force.
Well, perhaps that is as good a way as to
put poison into the system to restore il to
health. We should think it would be infa.
ible as cure for laziness-a very prevalent
disease. Portland Transcript.

The PRooF THIcKENs.-We have already
quoted the New York Herald to show thai
the Black Republicans do not consider that
they have lost Kansas by the election OF MI
Buchanan-that, on the contrary, ike MI
Van Buren,, they rely upon him to secure TO
them what they call their "rights IN lha'
Territory"-meaning the right to drive out
slavery by violence like the Topeka move
ment, or by insidious Territorial squatter
sovereignty.
The Philadelphia North American is
Leading Black Republican paper OF PennsyI-
yania, and one of the ablest in the Union
In its issue of November 8th, after paying a
high compliment to Mr.. Buchanan, for his
private virtues and his acknowledged abi-
tiles, and declaring that these, coupled with
State pride, secured for him the votes OF
thousands of his opponents in Pennsy ylvania,
it continues:
"To these facts, Mr.. Buchanan chiefly
owes the sufiragcs of his native State, and
not to his party affiliations. We feel safe in
affirming that, had he been the nominee of
the opposition, Pennsylvania would have CIV
en- him a vastly large and heartier major
ity than she has now given him. But, be
this MS il may, we afe perfectly convinced
that if he had taken an active part in the re-
peal of the Missouri Compromise and the
Nebraska iniquily; if his hands had been de-
filed with the pitch of those crimes, neither
his party relations his talents and experience,
nor the deserved respect in which his charac.
te- is held, would have saved him from dis
astrous overthrow even in this, his native
State. Every one knows it. That he pas
not participant in those schemes, made him
available, aue secured his nomination. His
friends here have pledged themselves that,
under his administration the free settlers Of
Kansas would suffer no wrong and enjoy
every right in security and peace, and they
have advocated his election on the gronnd
not only that he is neither in heart nor could
euer submit Il be in practice, a slavery &c
tentionist; but also, that he could do more
than any other man to resist the revolution
ary schemes which self.seeking politicians
have sprung upon the nation for their aggran.
dizenent. The better portion of his own
party, confiling in these representations,
have cast thrir suffrage for him. And for
these reasons, and on account of a divided
opposition-not because she has embraced
the new doctrines of ultra southern men
Pennsylvania has given Buchanan her vote,
and thus unler the political seal in his favor.
"But for This, the Republicans would have
elected their candidate; and nothing more is
needed to show the immense strength, nu-
mercal and moral, of the new party, born
but yesterday"

How TO MAKE "NATIoNAL" PAPER
A despatch from Washington, coming from
n democratic source, says:
arrangements are already ir progress for
the re organization of the Editorial force of
the Union newspaper. 1t is in contemplation
TO have one editor from the North and ano-
ther from the South, in view of Buchanan's
Administration"
We suggest as an additional feature of the
IRE. organization" that the Union has Ne.
braska and an anti Nebraska, a pro.slavery
and an anti slavery, n disunion and union

cracy presents itself in different sections Of
the Union.

LOOK AT THIs.-On the morning of the
Presidential election, the Buchanan papers
in Philadelphia and other cities, published
the following card from tJohn Hughes:
Proclamation 10 all good Catholics, christians
: and others.
FRIENDS, BRETHREN, AND FELLOW CIT-
IZENs:-One of the most important eras in
the religious and political affairs of this land
is Just upon us. Are You ready, and pre-
pared for this momentous crisis? Will YOU
any longer endure shame and abuse? No,
and thrice no. Hear us from one end of the
Union to the other. Let us stand together
as one man, and fight valiantly for our rights
and our holy religion. In order to do this
we must, to the last man, vote for James
Buchanan.
LIE us give him our votes, and he will be
victorious. 1t will be victory for our holy
religions, which is the only one which can
secure salvation to man. The defeat of
James Buchanan is the defeat of our church
universal. Therefore, by the safety of our
souls, now is our time. Buchanan shall and
must be elected. This is the will of Cod
Our church has in James Buchanan friend
and protector, and through him can our
church, under the will of God and the Pope,
reach again the right position, and take the
place of the many sects and htretics who are
abominabe in the sight of our Lord. Thus
then our church will triumph, and thus the
lost sheep will be restored to her fold.
Only from the Democratic party can yon
hope for protection. Therefore, must every
good Catholic vote for James Buchanan.
In the name of all Catholic Christians,
tJOHN HUGHES,
Archbishop of New York.

THREE RULES FOR BoRRowERs.-While
at least one half the world live by borrowing,
or the credit system, and while thousands of
treatises have been made on honesty, and
honor, and kindness, all that we now reco
ect on this theme, vital to n utitar'n, and
which includes them all, may be comprised
under three heads:
!. The Iron Rule.-Never borrow paper,
book, umbrella, horse or any thing else
what ever, If you can possibly do without it,
nor, then, either, without the consent Of the
owner.
2. The Silrer Rule.-Do not use the arti.
Gle borrowed as if it was your own, but
much more so because it is not your own;
nor retain it beyond the tme-agreed npon,
without the owners verbal or written consent.
3. The Golden Rule.-As soon as ever
YOU have done using the thing borrowed re
turn it with thanks, until You can return the
fnvOr

AN EXPENSIVE CIrY.-It is estimated that
We next years tax bill for the city CT New
York will amount to ten millions of dollars.
One of the charges against the adminlsira-
ton of John Quincy Adams was that the
expenses of the Government amounted 10
thirteen millions year.
