At the "next Parliament" lord Pal
mcrston expects that some valid reason
will exist for postponing the Reform
until the next parliament, and so on
until he day Of his death. 1t has been
SO with him for twenty years. When
ever Reform was needed and propo-
sed in the Commons, Palmerston
would urge want of time, or that other
matters required the attention of the
Commons. Thus the British people
have been cheated, again and again, by
this Tory hearted Liberal. And still
the Liberals rely upon him to do all
that he promises at tho hastings. The
Reform now desired is the enlargement
Of the Elective Franchise, giving to
the people Of England now dlsfranchi-
sed, the right of participating in the
election of the Representatives by
whom they are governed. At present
the voters Of England are few in num-
Der and landholdcrs and leaseholders
But we venture the prediction that no
Reform will be granted. Some excuse
will be continually put forth for delay
ing the measure.

AID ron GEs WALKER.-A letter
from Washington in the N. Y Times,
indicates that active movements are on
foot to relieve Gen. Walker from his
position in Nicaragua, or If 1t be too
late for this, ~ take possession ofthe
Transit route. The rumor Of Walkers
escape from Rivas is generally discrsd'
tied. At the last advices he still held
that place, and it is confidently pre-
dicted by his friends that he would be
able to hold it for some weeks or even
months longer. But it is said that
293 men left San Francisco for his re
lief in the Ocean Bird, and we were
I'D several dsys since, onlgood au-
thority, that 500 more would soon be
ready to go from New Orleans.

Utah.

The military force ordered for Utah
will concentrate and take a position
upon the government reservation, for
ty miles south Of the Salt Lake valley,
and await orderr and events.
1t is suggested that Governor Young
has taken measures to resist the fede-
raj authorities, and to increase his
large military force BY an alliance
with hostile Indians. When he shall
be superseded IS Governor his author
ity will be paralyzed in the Territory,
and he must either leave it to be sub
jected to persecution for his fxgitious
acts. 1.-The holds his ground he must
make open war, and that is said to be
bis intention. His abuses have been
20 long tolerated that he has gathered
undue confidence in his position, which
may soon be diminished after the gov
eminent shall take decided stand in
opposition to hin.

Thousands of Republicans stayed

Gazette.
That the Republican vote was thou
sands less last month than in Novem-
Der is unques.ionable; but that it was
because thousands Of Republicans
stayed away from the Polls" is not so
easily proven. A comparison of the
Democratic vote last month with the
vote in November is sufficient we think
TO raise more than a reasonable pre-
sumption that the thousands Of (once)
Republican," did 60 to the polls not to
vote the Republican but the Demo-
cratic ticket. Time had been given
them for calm reflection. They saw
that they had been following Jack
o lantern which had led them through
mires, into bog. and among dangerous
pit falls. They saw their error and
have returned to the beaten track in
which their forefathers walked-to
the only true road to safety-Democ-
racy.-Thcy have learned lesson ofl
the danger Of being carried away by
excitement and how we'll they
it will be shown by the next
election. Some of them may fall back
