The CHINESE IDoL.-The San Francisco
Herald, speaking of the celebration of the
Chinese New Year in that city on the 25th
inst, says;
The See Yup Asylum, where one of their
gods sits enshrined, was thrown open to Wis
itors, and number availed themselves of
the opportunity to see this much talked of
idol. The statue is about four feet high, and
represents a fat Chinaman in a sitting pos
ture. 1t is itself Insignificant, when COM
pared with the carving and gold embroidery
which surround it. But, though there are
carving aud embroidery to be seen. the effect
is neither grand nor beautiful; the place
looks ike the temple of travelling magician
the Chinese appear incapable of combining
the minute details of beauty so as to produce
a grand or beautiful effect

hope no National Democrat will ever be
drawn off the true ground-that we are
neither pro-slavery nor an anti-slavery
party, but that we nre national party; that
upon the question of slavery in its local re-
Iations we say the people must settle that
question for themselves. And while, per-
haps, the Democratic party or the National
Democracy Of Missouri may be proslavery
locally considered, presume the National
Democracy of Illinois is anti slavery.
suppose that James Buchanan and Douglas,
in Illinois and Pennsylvania would be anti
slavery, but when it is question Of Nation

vote for the party let him do it, we will do
what we think is right. We will in our
organic action do what we think is right,
and will vote for the man having the princi-
piles Of National Democracy as laid down in

the idea became attached to the National
Democrats that they were the pro-slavery
party, the ireesoilers have achieved every
thing. does it not then admit as much Of tie
power of Congress as freesoilism, and if we
admit that the Democracy is pro-slavery
party, does it not admit all that the anti

CoLD REGIONS ExTENDING.-The Scien-
tific American says it is well known, as a
matter Of history, that, when Greenland
was discovered, it posed much warmer
climate than it does at present The ice
packs have been extending South from the
polar regions for some centuries, and the
Northern coasts Of our continent are much
colder than they were three centuries ago.
The cause Of this is not well understood;
the fact only is known. 1t is believed by
some persons, that there is great eddy in
some part OF the polar ocean which some
times changes its direction, and by drifting
large icsbergs from one place to another,
changes the climate of those places whence
they are drifted by the presence of such
masses of ice diffusing their lower temrera-
ture to great distances. In the month OF
July last, the White Sea was blocked up
with huge mountains of ice, and the CON-
merce of Archangel stopped-something
which never happened before. In the Fa-
roe Islands, snow fell in the valleys in the
middle of July, the like Of which also never
happened before. If this DRIFT Of ice contin.
ues regularly for lew seasons, the coasts
Of the White Sea will become as inhospita-
Bile as those Of Greenland now are.

On the 22d ult., DIR. Isaac. j. HAYES,
Surgeon Of the ship Advance, and one Of
those who accompanied DIR. KANE on that
memorable expedition which shed such
glory on the American name, delivered q
most interesting lecture before the Mary

an unusually large and intelligent audience,
who testified by their attendance and ap.
probation, the deep interest they felt in ev-

up the physical geography Of the high polar
