THE SCIENCE OF ASSASSINATION.

The terrible fate Of Orsini and Pierri has
not subdued the spirit which actuated the
first of these murderers in his recent attempt
to assassinate the Emperor of the French.
He has left behind him some who are resoly-
ed to earn an infamous notoriety for them
selves, by renewing his attempt !" to rid the
world ola despot." We have seen extracts
from letter recently written in Paris, CIV
ing full description of hand grenade, one
hundred Of which have been completed in
Paris, and are ready to be thrown at Napo-
leon Ill. whenever an opportunity offers.
They are described as great improvement
on those used by 0rsini. The following is a
part Of the description:
"The lower part Of the internal machine
is filled with powder, prepared in manner
only known to the inventor, an ounce of
which has more expansive force than one
hundred pounds of the best Dupont. Above
the powder is placed a thin plate of copper,
furnished in the middle with tube, through
which the fire is communicated to resinous
material or kind of lava, which, once kindled,
cannot be extinguished, and which increases
in intensity on the application Of water, a
single drop heing sufficient to destroy life.
The upper part of the instrument is drilled
with holes filled with sharp steel points, with
piston and percussion cap, the explosion Of
which, communicating with the tube, ignites
the whole Of the deadly compound and scat
tiers destruction on all Sides"
The reason 0rsni's projectiles failed Of
their object is said to be that they were not
filled with "the lava" or unquenchable FIRE,
which some scientific assassin has since dis
covered. We would hope that the powers Of
the above instrument are much exaggerated,
or that the vigilance Of the French police viii
detect its possessors before they can have
another opportunity Of testing its qualities.
The letter was written by one who is fanatical
enough to believe that tyrannicide" is a
laudable act, and not, as all honest men must
consider il, cold -blooded, dastardly murder,

That the celebrated .. Monroe Doctrine"
is about to be fully revived, and to become
leading feature in the next Presidential cam
paign, as it almost did in the last, is now
clearly manifest from the signs of the times,
the voice Of the people, and the spirit Of the
press. The abrogation Of the Clayton Bulwer
Treaty, which is sure thing, will be the
frst grand step in this direction. This con-
summation will leave our Government ]" un-
entangled," and free to adopt new Central
American and Mexican Policy. and the next
grand step will be to re-assert in some shape
the Monroe Doctrine, to wit: "that the
American Continents, by the free and indie
pendent condition which they have assumed
and maintained, are henceiorth not to be
considered as subjects for future colonization
by any European Power" and that" we owe
it therefore to candor, and to the amicable
relations existing between the United States
and those Powers, to declare that we should
consider any attempt on their part to extend
their system to any portion of this hemis-
phere as dangerous to our peace and safety.
With the existing colonies or dependencies
OF any European Power, we have not inte-
fered and shall not Interfere. But with the
Governments who have declared their indie
pendence and maintained it, and whose in
dependence we have, on great consideration
and on just principles, acknowledged, we
could mt view any interposition for the pur-
pose Of expressing them, or controlling in
any other manner their destiny, by any Eu-
ropean Power, in any other light than the
manifestation of an unfriendly disposition
towards the United States" The ultimate
annexation Of the Central American and
Mexican States, is now looked upon as GER
tain, and almost as near at hand as was that
Of Texas when the subject was first preached;
and so magnificent an idea, SO rapidly ma
turing as it is, cannot long be kept out Of the
progressive politics of our country.

The Commissioners set out yesterday, and

Powell, Of Kentucky, is an old friend Of

companied him.
This Mormon introduction Of polygamy is
throwing the whole world back several hun
dred years. II makes many think Of pro-
blematical questions long since solved. The
experience Of the past is ignored. No one
who wishes well to mankind, no one who
loves to see its progress in knowledge and
civilization, but must deeply deplore the re-
trograding aud degrading influences Of Nor
monism. The United States giving them a
Territory Of such vast limits, thus holding
out the most stimulating inducements TO them
to ill up their limits BY emigration, was an
outrage TO the whole community Of christian
nations, and they are now reaping the whirl-
wiud.
A mortal blow must be struck at this vile
sect. II they receive the army in friendship
they will only grow till the evil is greater.
Now is the time TO extinguIsh this element
Of terrible coniagration.
The Territorial organization oil Utah should
be annulled, the Territory divided into three
portions; the north attached TO Oregon, the
vast to California. the southeast 10 New
Mexico. These Territories could then ex-
tend their laws over Utah; could call in the
army il neediul TO enforce them. aud the
political influences Of the Mormons would be
annihiated. They now have secret associa-
tons, grips. passwords, solemn oaths, and
secret mummeries BY these they bring the
ignorant masses into the most abject submis.
SION. and BY the aid of the society Of Danites
they compel all TO fear aud tremble. No
ordinary means will do to break up the power
Of these people; like a horrid cancer, il in
ereases daily. invading the vital arteries /;
the sooner the knife is applied the better.
MormOndom as separate Territorial or
ganiZation must be annihilatcd.
