Two widely diverging policies now solicit the
American People The one is the policy of Pea'e
of careful abstinence from all ihtermeddling with
foreign interests aud foreign squabbles-the policy
of steady and sure development BY internal growth
the policy of light taxes, prosperous industry,
and tie continual Improvement Of our own soil and
means of iutorcommuncstion-th policy Of
stretching an iron track across the center OF our
territory and bringing San Francisco within aweeks
travel of Ne Atlantic cities and within an hours
distance BY telegrsph-the policy which would
soon cover the great plains Of Nebraska, Western
Kansas, and the valleys and slopes of Oregon and
Washington, with va,t flocks and herds, and people
our present teyrtsry, even within the lifetime Of
many now at school, with population OF One
Hundred Millions of intelligent, virtuous, happy
ffeemen, rendering this the strongest and richest
nation that the world has ever seen, and gradually
transforming other nations into her Likeness BY the
spectacle of her freedom prosperity and true glory
The other policy seeks greatness through the
acquisition tf foreign provinces and states-througa
tie wies Of diplomacy and the weight or the terror
of our arms-through the establishment OF pro-
tectorates over Mexico and Central America
through the e1tortion at the cannon's mouth oil
concession from other Governments that we are
the leading Power on this Continent, and therefore
entitled to have our own way in all matters pertain
ipe to said Contnent-through the acquisition Of
Cuba, The. purchase or theit of Sonora, and the
general triumph of fthst system Of bullying, robbery

FoReERY BY Doe.-The Bangor (Maine)
Union tells the following:
A large dog had been accustomed to get
bits of money from his master to 60 to a
meat stall to get his lunch of fresh meat
One day, when change was short, his master
gave Growler piece Of white paper, on
which was an order for the meat. The dog,
after much urging, carried it to the meat
stall and received his food, and SO for several
days, when, thinking one piece of paper as
good as another, he would pick up pieces of
white paper and carry them. to the stall
long before long bill came in from the meat
dealer, who had such confidence in the dog
that he did not think 10 look a: the paper,
and the dog himself was very fat. No arrest
Mas made, and the dog occupies as respect
able a position in society as ever.

The REMAINS OF MADlsoS.-In digging
for foundation for the monumet recently
erected over the grave Of President Madison,
the coffin was exposed to view. The
appearance of the remains is thus described
by Richmond paper:
The boards placed above the coffin had
decayed, but no earth had fallen in upon it,
and verything appeared to be as when the
coffin was deposited there, except that the
coffin was slightly out of place, allowing a
partial view of the interior. AS there was
no fastenings to prevent the part Of the lid
covering the superior portion of the body
was raised, and several gentlemen present
looked in upon the remains of the great
Virginian. The coffin itself, of black walnut,
was in perfect preservation, and the interior
was nearly filled with species of moss,
which adhered pertinaciously to the wood.
Beneath this, and partially hidden by it,were
a few of the larger and harder bones. The
lower jaw had fallen away, the bones of the
breast and ribs were gone, and the only parts
of the skeleton which remained were the
skull and portions Of the cheek bone, the
vertebrae Of the neck, the spine, and the
larger bones of the arms. All else Of the
upper part of the body had returned to the
dust from whence it was taken, and in a few
years more every trace Of the body will
disappear, until the trumpet of the Resurrec-
ton shall unite the scattered particles. The
body has been inferred just 81 years.
