.
The events Of the few past months in
this Republic have not only checked the
civil and religious liberty drought the
world, but have actually turned the cause
backward. We will not say that the prin-
ciple of self-government has jumped back
to the point where it stood when the Un-
ion had its birth, for, however that fact
may be as concerns our own country, our
brief career of success hitherto has taught
the old world valuable lessons, has COM
PEELED monarchial governments to make
great concessions TO their people, which
cannot be recalled even should Republi-
canism in the new world meet its death
blow. There fore the United States have
its four score years not in vain.
But our boasiing has come to naught.
A few short months since and we were the
admiration or the envy of the world; now
we feel the humiliating fact that none are
so poor as to do US reverance. And with
this degradation comes the shameful truth,
too, that the christianity of the old world,
instead of sympathizing with the Free
States, which have made such sacrifices in
the cause of freedom, is preparing to profit
by our disasters, and in fact add its inf1u-
ence in favor of those who would make In
voluntary sevitude the basis of new gov
eminent. England and France, so report
says, are tosend joint fleet to hover along
our shores. There can be but one design
in this movement. Our internal dissen-
sions can effect England and France only
in the commercial relations between the
two sides; there is no danger to either of
those governments by our rupture in truth,
every days quarrel here but strengthens
. the thrones of Europe. Therefore, the
question of interes involved, is one of mere
dollars and cents, so far as England and
France are concerned.
-i II follows therefore that the design of
those two powers is TO interfere as against
the old Union and in defense of mere
selfish interest, make cause with Slave
ocracy. The joint fleet is 10 be sent
across the Atlantic, 10 prevent this gov
ernment from blockadiDg-if it should
, wish to do so-the ports in the recusant
States, or to prevent the collection of rev.
enue by floating custom houses. This in
reference is in order to establish free trade,
taking advantage of the interests of slave
ry for the purpose of introducing foreign
goods in exchange for cotton, the product
Of slave labor. That will be practical
demonstration of the anii-slavery affection
of England whose boast, that no SLAVE can
breath her air, has been daily thrown in
our faces since West India emancipation

CORRESPONDENCE Of the N. Y. Tribune.

Mr.. Douglas gets on his legs twenty
times day, and never fails to emit some
scorniac ebulilion of bis spleen from that
everlasting open crater of his; and the 9TH
er side with no time, or ''no stomach for
the fight" has TO "suffer and be STILL" His
manner is often that of Satan eursing the
brethren. He taunts the Republican side
with patronizing sarcasm, or belabors it
with audacious malignity. allow are you
to obtain revenue Z" be asks. "Collect it."
saws CLARK of N. H. "Under the Morrill,
tariff, suppose" says Douglas. 'Well, to
undertake it at the South, if that is your
determination, means wal; aud yet you re-
iterate the statement-that you mean peace.
You talk of enforcing laws in a country
you do not possessl and of enforcing laws
where you cannot place single Federal
officer" "But, suppose" he continues,
with laughing sneer, 'that your Republi-
can Administration intends to enforce the
laws in those States after the Southern
Confederacy shall have dissolved. and those
States send members of Congress here and
return to their allegiance. Brave party,
bold Legislators, they will nforc the
law when men volunteer to obey them.
You have not Federal officer in all the
seeding States" says Douglas, "acting by
your authority"
"Have we not postmasters!" says Howe
of Wisconsin.
"Yes" replies Douglas, "but they are
not there by your authority; they are
there by the condescending permission of
those States" "a. * ..-f -.-...-
"And that is granted" says Republi-
can Senator, "because the service costs
four times more than the income. If the
revenue exceeded the cost, they would not
permit even postmasters.'
The above is a specimen of each day in
fhe Senate. Some patriots there have to
bite their lips under the scorn of the Oppo-
sitiop, but they cannot otherwise manifest
the indignation thai they feel. Pontiac.

Deafness.

1t is so rare that deafness is cured that
we take great pleasure in calling attention
to the two following cases, in this vicinity
treated by DR.. Knapp, the Oculist and Au-
rist, of SO Bond street, Cleveland. One,
that of a lady,. who in vain had tried the
skill of other Aurists, was restored to the
hearing of a watch held at two feet distant
from her. The other that ola young man,
afflicted name gears, who in few weeks
was restored TO perfect hearing. Ii is said
that deafness is seldom or never cured ex-
cept by a regular Aurist, those who are deaf
will do well to call on DR.. Knapp -O6er-

The Payment of the state Debt.

A bill has been introduced into the House
at Columbus, by Mr.. Baldwin, to provide
for the payment of the State debt, provi-
ding that in order that the sinking fund
may be made sufficient to pay the accruing
interests upon said debt and redeem the
principal thereof, by not less than $780,
900 yearly, there shall be levied annually
Including the amount heretofore author
lied by law to be levied for the same pur-
pose-a tax of two mills on each dollar of
taxable property, until the year 1872, and
thereafter until the sinking fund be made
sufficient for the final extinguishment of
the State debt. Section second provides
that SO much of the amount raised by this
tax as shall be necessary TO redeem the
principal to the amount named shall be set
apa.t as Redemption Fund" to be used
for no other purpose. ...--.
Under this provision the amount thus
raised in 1852 would be 100000, which
would increase by six per cent. each year
until the close of 1872, when the whole
amount wouId have reached Sl3,495,965,
90, one half the amount to be raised each
year to be set apart on the first of January,
and one half on the first of July.
Nothing in the act shall be construed to
prevent the application of any other fund
provided by law from being used in the
payment of the State debt, the same as il
this act had not passed. The money be-
longing to the redemption fund may be
used for the payment of bonds purchased
by the Fund Commissioners the same as
for bonds due at the time of payment
