The JEWISH MEssESGER reviews tho condi-

what the people have done during the past

New synngocucs have bcen dedicated at Gin

ford. A Hebrew free Sunday-school has been
opened in one Of our cities; a course Of lectures,
uuder the auspices Of a Hebrew literary society,
las cen delivered at New York, whore likewise
a grand banquet in aid the jews Hospital was
given, yielding nearly ten thousand dollars to
the fund of that institution.

VARYING from 4 to 100000 years. But stranger
still il the mode in which these orbits are dis-
tributed, in orier to prevent any collision with
tho bodies Of the planetary system. The planets
all move in nearly one plane, which we may sup

in eyeIy possible plane, from horizontal TO verti-

was The first in war, the first In peace, and

approaching military display with which II Is
to be celebrated in Washington - we'll as
Georgetown. Our young military companies
volunteers-will eli be out, and some of those
Of your city are expected here to enliven our
own streets on the occasion. The country
really needs a few strong infusons of that
good old patriotic spirit which animated our
fathers. We shall hear the glorious "Star
Spangled Bannsr,n "Hsil Columbia" and
Yankee Doodle" upon drum and, fife, al.
though in South Carolina they have prescribed
them - foreign, and inimicsl to King Cotton.
Americans will never surrender the national
airs and the national flag that marsballed
Washington, Greene, . jackson, q Taylor, q
Scott and Perry, Macdonough, Hull, or DE.
catur, to their victories and undying glories.
Our Mayor, Mr.. Crawford, has issued his pro-
camation, recommending the observance here
Of this day. 20 '....
1t is gratifying to realize the fact, that the
Presidential term Of the poor old "public func.
tionary," who has brought our country 10 its
present humilisting abassment, is about to close.
1t will ever be memorable in American annals
as the most miserable, the most imbecie, the
most traitorous, and the most corrupt, that i'm.
sgination could have reasonably conjectured
as possible to be inflicted upon the nation, or
to be tolerated even by its own organized
