MATHEMATICS OF BBEs.-The warmes
sdmirer of honey, and the greatest friend
to bees, will never, [ presume, contend
that the yonng swarm, who begin making
honey three or four months after they are
born and Immediately construct their
mathematical cells, should have gained
their mathematical knowledge, as we gain
ours, and in three months time outstrip
Mr.. Maclatrin in mathematics as much as
they do in making honey. 1t would take
a senior wrapgler at Cambridge ten hours

enough of mathematics for the calculation
of these problems, which not only the
queen bee, but every undergraduate grub
is acquainted with, the moment it is born.

Eigi,tmill.ons of slaves.

According to the returns of the late cen
sus there were about four millions OF coler-
ed men held as slaves in the United States.
1t has been supposed that these were the
only slaves embraced within the limits OF
American Union. But this is an error
The Supreme Court of the United States
saws that ssno State can make foreigner
a citizen of the United States, nor entitls
him to the rights and privileges secured
to citizens by the Constitution of the Uni
ted States.
There are the Same number of foreign
ers in the United States as there are color
ed people. Hence, instead Of four millions
of slaves. we have eight millions-one
half negroes, the other half Irish, Germans,
English, French, Spanish, Italians, &C.,
dc.
This is not fancy picture. The deei-
sion of the Supreme Court land it Is the
supreme law of the land) places negroes
and foreigners upon exactly the same lev
ell. For if the rights of citizenship do not
attach to a foreigner who makes this coun-
try his home, be is liable to be sold into
slavery at the caprise Of any State in the
confederacy.
The modern democracy" This is the
Democracy which most of our citizens OF
foreign birth sustained at the Presidential
tial election. 1t is libel on the very
name, as it is the violation of the first prin-
ciples, of Republicanism. It casts the old
"Alien Laws" completely into the shade.
