BS~ There is one thing that must not be
overlooked in connection with the doings
of the late Congress. While they reduced
the appropriations some few millions of
dollars, they made no attempt at any eco
nomical reform; consequently the expens-
es will 90 on as heavily as before, and the
next Congress will be called upon to sup
ply the deficiencies. Indeed, it was very
convenient to shove off the payment Of
present pressing liabilities upon their sue
cessors, as it will be asserted, for political
effect the eve of the Presidential election,
that the Both Congress spent more money
than the 35th.

Canada and cuba.

1t will be seen from a paragraph in ano-
ther part of our paper, that while we are
trying to annex or, steal Cuba on the
-South, a project is being put ON foot to
separate the Canadas from the British
government, and annex the upper pro-
prise, we presume, will not find many adj
vocates at the South, but the North is no
doubt ready for it. The Canadas COM
mand our Lakes, as Cuba does the Gulf;
and when both shall have been annexed,
why, the world in arms, &c.

New Orleans

The democracy Of Louisiana, as in 9TH
er portions Of the Union where the party
still has an existence, Is getting into a
snarl, one wing having recently filed of
with Mr.. Soule, and the other with Jno.
Slitlell, the hero of the Plaquemine
frauds. The former had grand demon
stratiom in New Orleans.a few nights ago,
and Mr.. Soulc made a speech in which
he denounced the corruptions and abuses
of the party with which he has been act
ing, in good set terms. We make u short
extract. Speaking of the party leaders,
whose principles are bounded by the
loaves and fishes, Mr.. .Soulasaysi- >~ ,;'.e
, And because we suffered a contemptible
and grovelling oligarchy tospfihg up from
our troubles I'M days Of hard trial; be-
cause we let them grasp the spoils after
the battle; because they are, incrustated
on all sorts of Federal and State spoils,
they imagine then they have grown too
big and powerful to be resisted and are
no insolcnt in their official bearing and
despotism, that they will not allow the
least manifestation of q will, of a senti-
ment, of an opinion that be not modelled
on their own will sentiments and opinions.
And woe to the democrat who does not
submissively bend his neck under their
heel; he is at once numerically ostra-
cised, cast away, and forever blotted out
Of their list of terrors.
There be those among them, who have,
all their life, fattened ON party prefer
ment-and patronage, who blush not to
hue and cry against office seekers! There
be those who having stained their hands,
nay, deeped their arms to the elbows, in
the most disgraceful transactions, pervert-
ing public trusts into engines of spolia-
ton and robbery, dare still speak of hon
esty and virtue; and those who, having
transformed egislature&rand party con-
ventions into open marts where robust
and daring votes might be put up at auc-
ton and sold to the highest bidder, or
into gaming houses, where timid and
bashful public servants might stealthily
be enticed to gamble away their conscience
at a faro table, will talk of patriotism,
and aspire to have their names inscribed
among those of Washington, an Adams,
Jefferson, a Monroe, a jackson!
Ay, ay, it was time that their turpitude
and infatuation were laid bare before the
people, and that they should themselves
be branded with the stigmas of public
reprobation. ,.,.

MORE ''INFIDELIrY."-Rev. Prof. Hitch
cock, of Union Theological Seminary, N.
Y. (son of the eminent Geologist) has
created great alarm among the faithful by
declaring in public lecture on the histo-
ny of the Bible, that the "Pentateuch is
pictorial epic, composed of various frag-
mentary poems collected and arranged by
Moses" These certainly are perilous
times for ancient dogmatism.

THK Wan FEELING IN ITALY.-A CORES
pendent of the Newark Daily Advertiser,
writing from Nice, describes the popular
excitement in reference to the war ques-
ton as of an extraordinary character:
One thing is said to be certain, Sardinia
is determined upon war, if she can effect
it. All her measures are directed to that
end, and until a certain point, she un-
doubtedly had the confidence of France,
her imperial ally. Counting upon the
friendly sympathy Of England and Russia,
dhd the neutrality of nearly all the Ger
man States, the Sardinians thought to
make short work of Austria, and conf
IDENTITY calculated upon realizing the long
dream of tho Kingdom of Northern Italy.
Such was the programme. But CONTINUES
the writer) the unexpected opposition of
England and Prussia, the all but universal
resistanceof public opinion of France, the
natural alarm of the numerous smaller
sovereignties of the German League, and
the formidable timely provisions of Aus
tria have materially disturbed the dream,
and may entirely defeat its fulfillment.-
The friends Of peace and progress trust so
at least, since the people have nothing to
hope for from q war of ambition.

The WHEAT CRoP.-The New York Her
aid publishes an interesting budget of
good news from all parts of the Union,
touching the signs of the approaching
wheat harvest. The Herald says the crop
has so far advanced, and the rains
throughout the country have been so album
dant, that we can have little reason to
fear that either general drought or in
sects can henceforth destroy the present
general prospect of harvest greatly ex-
ceeding that of last year. Upon this good
and glorious promise we congratulate the
American people, producers and cohsum-
ers, and the world at large. An abundant
wheat harvest will enable our producers,
of the great West, to clear
themselves of the pressure of the financial
of the late revulsion; and
to our consumers an abundance of bread
is never very distressing Inconvenience
