that a5barring such from it, is an unjust
use of power on the part sef the Church.

Last year the aggregate vote was a.

bout 10000. In.the late election the
vote IN the old counties was about a
fourth less than in 1855, while the in
creased vote in the new counties speaks
well for the rapid Improvement of the
State. The Milwaukee Sentinel says:
'Of the reserve of 10000, or $4,000

REIGN OF NHLIANY WITHOUT A REGENCY OF
VIRTUE.-If we may place entire reliance on the
assertions of a very respectable number of jour
mails, the President of the United States is the
most transcendcnt william, the most treason-pot-
ting wretch in the republic, who ought not to be
permitted personal liberty. For great number
of years they assure us it has been misfor-
tune to be governed by the worst men of the ma
tion, while the truly patriotic the great, the in
corruptbe were adjudgcd to obscurity. Under
this deplorable state of things we may well trem-
bic for the perpetuiiy of government. Itwould,
perhaps, be impoltic and destructive Of the fore
gone conviction to search out and test the wisdom
of the oracles who thus perpetually admonish us
Of our abect governmental condition. Possibly
we should discover them to be victims of disap-
pointment and of misplaced confidence, them
selves unfit to rule their own turbuant passions;
mayhap we should find them cunning workers in
the trade of defamation and some with an itch
ing palm for the fugitive shilling which has
dropped from the blind mans scrip.

SUGGESTION TO CRITICs.-We are gratifed to
observe that occasional paragraphs of ours have
afforded subject for sharp criticism We have an
observation or two which may help the critics
along: In asccrtaining the specific gravity of
substance great deal depends on the nature of
the liquid in which it is weighed; and in literary
assay equal importance should be attached to the
completeness of laboratory appurtenances, and
to the purity and solidity Of the cruciblc. We
believe the axiom is established among assayers,
that gold cannot be refined in hollow doughnnt,
nor can diamond be FURNISHED in coal -skuttle
