SHALL WE FAST Tine second ChlldlShneSO
that the people Of this country, in their
Unfortunate blindness, placed at the head of our
| National affairs, has expressed hope that the
/ universal Yankee nation will gather together, on
Friday next, to supplicate the fountain Of mer-
ey that He will not visit upon Us the retribution
Of the sins Of this administration. 4 decent re-
pect for those in authority suggests that the re.
i quessbe complied with. 1t may smooth the dying
pillow whereon the head of our government
ives up its official ghost. 1t would afford the
President great consolation to be able to cast
the responsibility Of his actions upon an inscru.
table Providence. But are the people of the
United States under any obligations TO pray
that kr. Buchanan be forgiven, aside from the
law that commands US to pray for those that de.
'pitefuly use US, and persecute US? Elected at
time when the country was in a state of great
prosperity, and managing its affairs through q
period Of more than ordinary tune, he has
characterized his administration by willful and
psrverse betrayal Of every interest and every
wish Of the people and retires from his Office
ieaSng An empty treasury, discordant people,
and tottsring republic. Hehas gathered around
hin men who have availed themselves of their
petitions to plunder the Golfers Of the Nation.
He has striven, with fire and sword, to destroy
American freedom on American territory; and,
in his blind zeal to extend the horrors Of human
bondage, has placed in tho hands Of rebels the
torch Of civil war At his election, his friends
vomiscd that his rule should be able, conserva-
i've aud patriotic. Ii has been weak, ultra and
reasonable He assumed the government Of the
country when it was the noblest in history. He
lm disgracea it ia the eyes of the world.
1t may be we'll for us to ask forgiveness for
having elected James Buchanan; bu. are We io
cothe ourselves in sack-cloth on account Of hii
crimess Let US, in charity, ask for his deliver
snce from his sins, and devoutly pray that W
may never look upon his like again.

NxSICE-AS sample OF the reign OF terror
by which Austria now holds VeEetia, the cor:
respondent of LIE Norde tells a story of the af
rest of little girl eight years DID, at Treviso,
for singing popular air, the refrain of which
was
"E Ia poyera vene1is, Garibaldi salvsra."
Her mother hastened to the Commissary of
Police ndbegged him to release her child; he
refused with sneer, saying that he would not de
prive Garibaldi of the pleasure of delivering his
little friend. The poor woman sobbed out in
her Venetian simplicity, What must my child
then suffer for three months away from her
mother!" In this exclamation the Commissary
thought he had made discovery, and imme
diately arrested the mother, demanding how she
knew that Garibaldi would come in three months
Fortunately, some more charitable authorities
interfered, and mother and child we're set free.
RELIGloUs WASH Hovsrs.-A journal of Augs.
burg contains the following singular announce
menti We think right to call general atten.
ton to the public wssh-house of the hospital of
this town, which is perfectly organized in every
respect Not only have all the latest improve
ments been introduced into it, but regard is had
to the difference in the religious creeds of the
customers. Thus the linen of Roman Catholics
| and that of Protestants are washed in different
| tubs. The washed linen is afterward placed in
| q wheel which, it is true, is consecrated to both
forms of worship, and there, by a centrifugal
apparatus belonging equally to both religions, it
is freed from the water it contains. But the
Roman Catholic liuen is afterward carried into
the Catholic drying place, and the Protestant
into that appointed for itself, aud then it is dis
| tributed to its owners"
