the leading organs of the black republican
party, thus speaks of the retiring adn,inistra-
ton:
g 1t is but simple justice to say that, so far
the financial interests of the country are
concerned. they have been managed with
ability and integrity. Though overruled fire.
quently in matters of rpontment, the Presi-
dent has stood by Governor Marcy in his en-
hghtened and fearless discharge of the re-
sponsible duties of the State Department
g Contrasted with the administrations of
Tyler and Fillmore, in all that concerns per-
sonal self-respect; and in all that belongs to
the proprieties of high station that of Gen
Pierce, presents n clean record Nothing of
the nepotism of those eras disgraces the pres
ent. Gen. Pierce has not followed the bad
example of hunting up and pcnsioning all
sorts of relatives, partners. and dependants
The Post Office Department has not been, as
when in the hands of Fillmore. Hall & Ha-

MORALITY OF DIVORCES

Speaking day Of the carly Romans,
MIR Webster said he could almost believe every
thing related by historians of their cxtraordna-
ry virtues, public and domestic when he
dwelt upon the fact that. though their laws
authorized divoicc yet for the first five hun
dred years, no individual ever availed him
self Of such licence! 's 1t was the domestic
training he said, '' 1t was the mother who
made Publioola. a Camillius and Cariolinus
Women, protected by the inviolablity of the
nuptial bond, were invested with dignity that
sgave authority to instruction, and made the do
mestic hearth the nursery of heroes. Public
virtue" he said '.fell with private morality
Under imperial Rome divorces were sought for
and obtained upon the most frivolous pretext,
and all domestic confidence was DESTROYED
The inevitable consequence was the loss of all
pu bic morality. Men who had been false to
their private obligations would not be true to
their public duties Caesar divorced his wife
and betrayed his country. The sancity of the
nuptlal bonds is, in my opinion. one of the
principal, if not the chiefcause of the superior
refinement freedom and prosperity enjoyed at
the present time by Christian nations.

An AM1cABLE SErrLExENr-Contrary to public
expectation, the Atlantic steamer brought no nfor-
nation of the receipt in Europe of official intelligence
of the dismissal of Mr. Champion and the British
Consuls The fact of their dismissal was universally
known, and commented upon by the press; but the
intentions of government in the matter will not be
promulgated before the receipt of Mr.. Marcys des-
patch. We left to infer the probable policy of
the Ministry from the tone of the Press.
The British papers betray little irritation at
the indignity which they conceive to be offered to
their country. Still, their tone is far from warlike.
The Times insists the dismissal of Mr.. Dallas but
will not entertain the idea OF collision between the
two countries. The Post, Lord Palmerstons especial
organ, has moderated its belgerent temper and is
now almost conciliatory as the Manchester press
In Short it is quite manifest that the British Minis
try will not hazaad rupture with the United States
1t is doubtful even if Mr.. Dallas will receive his
passports. We congratulate the country on this
prospect of uninterrupted peace and the Administra
ton on the success which promises to crown their
endeavour to vindcate the national dignity without
detriment to the national welfare
