ri Of the Euali.h sristocrscy and Of the English

Church.
The object of the bill is to extend to the English
middle classes the same privileges on the suoect oil
divorce which have for two centuries past been en-
loved BY the rich; to put it in the power OF any
English subject to obtain, by the expenditure OF two
or three hundred dollars, boon the enjoyment OF
which has hitherto been limited to those who could
afford to spend ten thousand dollars-that being
about the lowest amount needed to carry through
divorce under the system which now exists
This proposal, however, is very shocking TO
quite number of members Of Parliament who, II
they have not actually voted for special divorces,
have at least suffered them to pass without protest
They discover all at once that by religion and law
marriage is indissoluble under any circumstances,
and that the same privilege on this subject enjoyed
by the few cannot be extended to the msny without
danger of an utter dissolution of manners.
The English clergy, always the bulwark OF the
sristocracy, from which all its higher members
were selected, step forward with zeal IN the sup
port of existing privileges. They undertake 70
make matter Of conscience of it. So long as the
divorced parties were persons OF wealth ana
position, the clergy seem to have married them
again without protest or question; but the IDEA Oh
giving the marriage benediction to mere vulgar
culprits greatly troubles them and has led to many
petitions against the new bill, to which the Enghsn
clergy seem about as generally opposed as they are
to allowing a man to marry the sister OF his
deceased wife. Whether the English law
which admits the remarriage of the guilty party to
divorce is wise or not is question upon which
we express no opinion. In most Protestant
countries such marriages are prohibited, though
here in the United States the prohibition is con-
stanty evaded by celebrating the new marriage In
different State from that in which the divorce
was obtained. The point that strikes us as odd is'
that only in this particular case do the clergy
charge their consciences with the propriety or
morality of the marriages they are called upon to
celebrate. The same principle, fully and con-
ssteutly carried out, would, we apprehend, stop
great many marriages. A clergyman called upon
to celebrate marriage, is bound to satisfy himself
that no legal obstacle exists. But it would not
seem necessary to ask any questions for mere con-
science sake

As II have previously stated, the diplomatic d.

course of the Government has been decided upon.
The contradictions to which SEINE Of your city

Mr.. Eames will be instructed to return 10 Caracas

The defeat Of Mr.. Etheredge in Tennessee, and
the election Of Mr.. Rollins in Missouri, seem to DO
confirmed facts. Herein We the progress Of tho
great revolution beginning to operate upon the South,
and destined to root out, in long time, the pcti

Nothing or American. They are opposed to Ruaaa
e-Slayeryism. The same spirit begins to show
itself in the borders of Virginia. But elsewhere ia
the South Slavery is moro fercey intOlerant, more
ferecious and insolent, for the very reason that
feels itself in danger on the frontier. Etheredge Wa
the real representative of moderate and nations
sentiment in the South. In Kentucky or Maryland
Mr.. Etheridge would have been triumphsntJ
elected. His defeat in Tennessee was almost GER
tain from tho moment he made bis great speech
cOndemniDg the incendiary and fanatical course Of
the Democracy in agitating the Slavery question

pretenders will prove the beginning of true refos

Indiana and Illinois, voted for Fillmore in
GOOD faith as "Americans," not as tenders and
tide.waiters OF the Slave Democracy. They were
assured by their accustomed leaders that Fillmore
had good chance-that he would carry at least
New.York, Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee North
Carolina and Louisiana, and thus throw the elec
Son into the House, where his chance was at least
an even one. Believing this, the rank aud file
struggled and voted for Fillmore; and when the TO
turns showed but single State carried for him,
they were amazed by the exultiBg declarations Of
the wirewOrkers that they had accomplished their
end in defeating Fremont and electiDg Buchanan
They are not ambitious 10 do more of that unpaid
Journey of the Slave Power.
An American" ticket will be run in our State
this Fall simply and solely for the benefit Of the
Slave Democracy. Its cOncOeters have not the
least idea of its election, and will be very shy Of
letting their names go upon it unless for con-
sderation. The calculation isSimply that the dupes
will 20 on voting it as usual, while the knaves will
plump directly, if not openly for the Slave Democ-
racys candidates. They see by the results of the
recent Southern Elections that rs Sam ia really
dead-that the People, on both sides OF Mason and
Dixons line, regard the Slave question as para
mount and are determined to settle it before they
address themselves in earnest to what they regard
az subordinate issues-and they will not be turned
aside from their purpose. 1t is Slavery, not Democ.
racy, which has just carried North Carolina,
Kentucky, and Tennessee; it is Slavery, net Democ-
racy which has just lost, or nearly lost Missouri.
The intelligent know this, and the honest admit it..
There is no room to-day for political contest re-
gardiDg Natiyism and Foregnism and they who
profess to be engaged in such contest prove that
another issue predominates even in their minds,
whenever they come to act decisively in Congress
or elsewhere.

the more active participants in the disturbances d

The English Divorce bill has been read second
time in the House of Commons by decisive ma
iorty, and may now be regarded as sure to pass.
II may perhaps be somewhat altered in committee;
but as that would make necessity Of sendiag. it
back again TO the House of Lords, the fear Of
meeting difficulties there may, it is likely. prevent
any considerable changes. An extract, which we
have given e.sew here, from the opening speech of
the Attorney General contains very valuable
sketch of the history Of the English law of divorce
and of the objects Of the present bill. The bill,
however, goes somewhat further than the Attorney
Generals statement in this part Of bis speech
would seem 70 imply. 1t introduces important
improvements into the matter Of divorces from bed
ard board-a mensa ct toro-the name OF which il
changes 70, what they are in reality, judicial

TORS on the ground Ct the adultery or cruel msoe'

might inherit or acquire, and appropriate 1t 10 the

We print herewith the letter Of an intelligent
and impartial correspondent at Washington,
respecting the Election Riots in that City at the
June Election, and the trial of the alleged rioters,
just concluded. We call especial attention to this
letter, because the accounts hitherto given of the
fracas, in this paper with Others, appear to have
been one.sided and mjust. They were right in
blaming the "Plug-U gies' who went over from
Baltimore 10 bully at the Polls; but they were
wrong in justifyipg the unlawful and murderous
fusilade by the Federal Marines, by which fifteen
or twenty lives were needessly sacrificed. 1t is
clear, from our correspondents review of the tes-
timoDy, that the Plugs were by no means the only,
and perhaps not the most hcinous transgressors on
that occasion. Let US hear and heed the truth.
