GROWTH OF THE METROPOLIS OF THE UNION
There is, perhaps, no single feature in the ex-
traordinary progress of this country more re-
markable or more indicative of its material pros
perity than the growth of this great metropolis
Of the Western World. New York may be
fairly taken as the index Of the general pro-
gress Of the entire republic. What London is
to Great Britain, Paris to France, New York is
to the United States centre of its civiliza-
ton, the nucleus Of Its commerce, and the
nursery of art and science. Within the last
quarter Of century Manhattan Island has ex-
perjenced wonderful developement From
the email circumscribed space at the lower
end Of the island, which comprised the bust
ness part of the city Of New York twenty. five
or thirty years ago, all branches Of trade have
spread throughout Its whole area. Marble
palaces, devoted to commerce, have sprung up
as If by magic; and private dwellings, equal to
any in the world, adorn the upper streets and
avenues In population and wealth the in
creaee of the metropolis has been without
nearly 100000 Inhabitants, and Its property.
has reached the value of nearly six hundred
millions of dollars. And these figures relate
only to the city proper. On either side of the
two rivers which flow by the metropolis there
are growing up two faubourgs, united In In
terest with the metropolis itself-on Long
leland, Williamsburg and Brooklyn, and on
the Jersey side, Jersey City and Hoboken-
forming continuous cities, extending for miles
along the shore, which are but appendsges Of
New York, dependent upon it for their pros
perity, their amusements and their general
Importance. Williamsburg and Brooklyn have
already been consolidated; and 1t is now con.
temp)ated, we believe, to unite Jersey City and
Hoboken under one municipal government
They sre indeed, even now united in point
of fact by railroad communication and the en-
joyment of water facilities from the same
source. With these two extensive faubourgs
combined with the city proper, New York will
soon have a population Of million and q
quarter-equal to that of Paris, which mum
bers its age by centuries.

DIR. CHEEvER's CHURCH IN ScorIAND-We
print to- day full report Of sermon preached
lately at Glasgow BY the very eminent Scotch
divine, Rev. Dr. Buchanan. The subject Of the
sermon is the attitude Of the rector Of the Church
of the PuritaDs upon the subject Of American
slavery. DR.. Buchanan is very bitter against
the peculiar institution of the South, and ar
cues that it's effect Ia to aebese and degrade
the white man as we'll as the African. Taking
this view of the matter, we should like Doctor
Buchanan to compare any Southern city with
Glasgow. The people of Glasgow are very re-
iigious, as IL we'll known; it is likewise noto-
rious that there is more hard drinking aud
swearing, more wife whipping, more Sabbath
breaking, more infanticide, and greater num-
Der of Legitimate children, In Glasgow, in pro-
portion to its population, than in any other
civilized city in the world. II Doctor Buchan-
an will put that in bis pipe and smoke IL, and
then preach sermon from the Gospel accord
ing to Saint Matthew, seventh chapter, and from
the first to the fifth verse, inclusive, we will
agree to print it in full and give him good
notice beside. $3.50

The BRITISH ARIsTOCRAcY AMONG Us-Our
readers are probably aware with what fidelity
the nobility and gentry who form the immedi-
ate circle about the Queen of Great Britain
follow the royal family in its journeys, short
or long. Thus, when the Queen goes to the
Isle of Wight the fashionable world becomes
suddenly addicted to sea bathing and other
marine Injuries. Again if her Majesty takes
fancy to visit her Scotch lieges, and starts for
Balmoral, up goes the tartan, and all May Fair
is on the move for the Highlands. This year
the heir apparent the head of the hereditary
nobility, and the second parsonage in the
realm, will visit America, as q consequence Of
which tour In the New World will be the cor
rect thing to do. So we may expect to see our
fashionable watering places, during the coming
summer, run down with dukes, msrquises,
barcns, knights and honorables. All the
Lady Augustus will be along, and will be apt
to cut out Miss Flora McFlimsey In the lug

grand instalment Of British aristocracy

zee an amount Of toadyism and tufthunting
altogether unprecedented. We have cent all
our best products to England, including some
fine specimens Of American bellies; and now
We are to have q sight at the aristocrats In

much more amusing book could be made out
Of the quarrels of stage managers, actors and
dramatista The last named are an especially
tesiy class, and, like all people who have need
of indulgence, are the least ready to extend 1t

complaining of thefts on their property, just as
if they had monopoly Of literary larceny.
Mr.. Bourcicault, than whom no dramatiss Iv-

though himself man Of talent, Is one OF the
most thin skinned of the tribe Of Rtteratetrs

trouble Of one sort or another, caused by his
excessive apprehension Of people poaching on
his domains. If there was Law of interna-

a word to pelinquents.

We began TO publish the Democrat
January LIST, 1859, and there are already
several hundred dollars due on subscrip-
lion. This money we have earned,
actually need and must have, to enable US
10 do justice 10 ourselves or patrons.
The only safe system for newspaper
publishers is that OF advance payments /;
but, as we have not put this system into
practice, we must insist on the payment OF
subscriptions at the expiration OF each
year. Those who are indebted for the
paper for one year, can more easily dis
change their indebtedness now, than when
il shall have become much larger sum ;
and Duty requires them to do so without
unnecessary delay. Such as are satisfied
with the paper. and desire TO have it con,
tinued, will find 1t for their interest 10 re-
NIT 81 80 for the past year, on reading
this; for, If compelled TO take measures tc
collect old subscriptions, we shall charge
$500 per year.
As we have many subscribers whom
we do not know, and whose reliability we
are anxious 10 ascertain, none need be
surprised or offended 10 receive an ac'
