EVIL EXAMPLE OF AMERICA.

That the example of the United States in foster.
ing the crime of slavery, with it's attendant evils,
is exerting powerful influence in retarding ths
progress OF liberty in Europe, is fact which every
days observation forces upon Our attention In
Great Britain, those who are endeavoring TO mod
ify the government in accordance with Republican
ideas are constonuy rem nlcd Of the great nation,
operation of the principles they cherish. For eI.
ample, Mr.. Bright, NJ. p, lately made speech in
favor of political reform. proposing especially to
confer tho right Of suffrage upon many who now
have no voice in the affairs Of government, though
they are heavily taxed for lite support. Sir Peter
Fairbairn, Mayor Of Leeds, belongs to the party
which would keep things as they are. and his re.
ply to Mr.. Bright shows how the evil example Of
the United States is employed to check reform
which every friend of liberty in ths country must
regard as desiraLle.-A. S. Standard.
"Mr. Bright's speech said Mr. Fairbairn, is ons
of the most mschGvous ever utteted in an assem-
bly, of Euglshmen. The olject of Mr. Bright
seemed TO be to set class against class-the worst
course which politician could possibly siot p,
lie had seen this in every speech whish Mr,
Bright had made for the last few years That gen
ileman had done good service 10 the country, anf,
being one of the leaders Of the Anti'Coin law
Leagae had, by his elnqusnee, helped to bring
abourthat issue. We hal to ,sank him for that;
but since the repeal Of the corn laws, his ocsqrs,
tion was gone. lie Lad lhse'si bis el99ees9

ANOTHER SPECIMEN LocoFoco JUDGE.-Mr. Bu.
chanan seems to have most decided preference for
all sorts OF scam and especially when he requires
materials for j Judge. Honest, moral and upright
men stand no kind of chance with him for a
a judicial appointment lie takes especial pains
when he wants Judge. to find some man whose
previous crimes and general depravity of charac.
ter, give assurance that he can be used for any
vile purpose that may be required of him. 1t was
upon this principle that Cato and Lecompte were
appointed to important judicial posts in Kansas,
and most fortunate were the selections. He has
sent judge of a similar character to Wasbingt
Territory, as we learn from correspondent of the
New York Tribune in that quarter. His name is
Z. G. Fitzhugh, and be was. at the time of his ap.
pointment, under an indictment for murder! He
took his seat on the bench with this indictmen,
hanging over his head. But he did not go quite
far as to try the himself nor did he consid.
er it safe to call in some other judge to try it, So
he resorted to the shorter expedsnt of compelling
the clerk to withdraw or suppress the indictment
by presenting a revolver at bis head and threaten:
ing to shoot him If he did not obey. lie is the
very man for Buchanan judge. ....... ...

The BALL LAST NIGHT.-We We're
present last night at the Grand Civic and
Military Ball given at Oxford Hall Ports
mouth by the National Greys; and we
can truly say that we spent very agreea-
BILE time At o'clock the National Greys
under the command of Captain Deans,
had dress parade, which gave universal
satisfaction. After the parade the Ball was
opened by a grand march, consisting of
forty four couples, and more lovely
sight our eyes never beheld; the Ladies
(bless them ally looked like angels, and
their sweet smiles made every thing ap-
pear joyous and happy. The dancing
was excellent and the majority of the La
dies present can be ranked as number one
in dancing. We looked at them well with
out partiality determined to give the pre-
miums to that lady which in our humble
opinion we considered the best dancer.
After a careful examination we were COM
PEELED to give it to the young but fascina-
ting Miss Lao@1ss of Portsmouth. The
Hall was beautifully decorated with flags,
wreathes, and flowers, which added much
to the occasion.
The Portsmouth Rifle were represen-
ted by Capt. j. Richardson, the Old Do
milion Guards by Capt. Kearns, the
Newtown Marion Rifemen by Capt.
Wrenn, the Union Guards by Capt. God
win, the Portsmouth Light Artillery by
first Lieut.. Grimes, and the Independent
Greys of Norfolk by Capt. V. d. Groner'
Our city was represented among the
ladies. We were delighted to meet sew
eral of our old associates, who we have
often had The pleasure of choosing as our
partner in the giddy dance.
We were also much pleased to see so
many of our young men present, and it
made us feel the happier to see them en-
joy themselves so much. There seemed
to be the whole night a perfect "union of
souls" and "union of hearts" At half
past two o'clock, supper was served up,
to which all did ample justice; after which
dancing was resumed, and lasted until
broad day light IN the morning. Too much
thanks cannot be awarded to the mana
gers and the members of the Greys for the
very successful manner in which they
conducted everything. Our best wishes
are for the success Of the Greys, and to
all the ladies and gentlemen that were
present, we wish happy New Year.
