and power. The excitement growing out
of the secession movement in the South,
gives him endless themes for exhibiting bis

he touches off the Vice President elect, Mr.
Hamlin, WHO'S charged in the South with
being 4 mulatto--there being no way to
disproye the charge as Republican papers
are not allowed to be read in that part Of
the Union:

from his appearance, we really believe hm
to be part negro. 1t is rather humiliating
for high toned, honorable. and dignifed
Southern Senators, to have such man to
preside over them. But no Democratic
Senator has right to complain. IN the

some drinking blackguards in the Senate
from the South, who stagger through the
Chambers, and use profane language, in
the hearing Of ladies il the galleries. We
regard it as rather degrading TO Hamin, a

such ruffians. And yet once more, there
are wh5te Senators in Congress from the

AN ENGLISH VIEW or THE IMPENDING
CRISIS.

An English editor enlightens his readers
upon the subject Of American affairs in the
following strain
"The beautiful Republic SO much yaunted
by vain glorious Yankees, seems to be on
the brink Of a precipice, from which retreat
will be disgrace, and to advance, destruc-
ton. The very wisest of American states
men--Bonner, the Smith brothers, Aaron
Burr, and others-are wfangling in the
House Of Parliament, in the Columbia Dis
tmct, over a little volume called the Inn
pending Crisis, written by an oetoroon
named Helper, in which the author proves
that, unless the States south of the State
of New Orleans agree to abolish negro
slavery, the North will supply them with
no more shoe pegs, and utter financial ruin
will be the consequence. The members of
Parliament who quarrel over this singular
book, betray all the American chaIacteYis-
tics in their savage abuse of each other,
and sometimes they even come to blows.
The Hon Charles Sumner, one of their
number, was recently fred upon by a man
named Hooks; and just before the asia
sailed it was reported that a man named
Asking was detected Of throwing away a
heavy rifle, which he had previously man
Iaged to carry in pocket made expressly
for it.
Though we have no particular faith in
the stability Of what the Americans call
their Republican institutions, we are sorry
to see our cousins working their own ruin
with the edge-sword Of political incompat-
ibiIity AS free Englisnnen, we are bound
to sympathize with the so-calIed Abolition
lists of the Northern States of Georgia,
Nashville Harper's Virginia, etc, in their
efforts to free negroes from their bondage.
lSome Of the greatest men now living in
America are bIacks--the famous James
Brown was negro, therefore the Governor

RED suInr AND ROYALTY.

|
Not often comes an incident Of SO much
interest to record, as the interview Of Gar
ibaldi and Victor Emanuel, on the 25th
| of October, between Teano and Spelanzano.
The chieftain had taken his quarters at a
small ian, and ordering bis troops forward,
sent Count Trecci on to greet the king.
whom he met rapidly advancing, preceded
by Cialdini and at the head of 10000
men. Count Trecci galloped back, breath
less, and Garibaldi taking horse with his
staff, soon met the head Of the Piedmontese
column. Il opened, presented arms, and
Cialdini ran forward, Galibaldi leapino
from his horse and embracing him. The
king advancing at the head Of his proper
division, saw the red shirts, and distin-
gushing their leader put spurs to his
horse, all the eflieersy onaeithcr staff, cry

voice husky with the swelling Of his heart.
The king, with like feeling, replied;
'Thank youi" and grasped the hero's
hand. Thus they stood, looking at each
other in the fellowship Of notle minds, and
sand not another word. Still hand in hand,
they followed the troops, and as their re-
