British journals with the means of exciting
prejudice against the Union, and making CAPT.
tai for Secession. 1t has done its worst, Ia
yallandigham, to force our Government into a
position on the Mason.Sldell affair from which
there could be no issue but through War with
Great Britain, and consequent triumph for
Secession. All this is 80 plain that The Herald
is compelled at the eleventh hour to turn
another summersault and eat all it has been
saying. II is way it has.
But if the Radicals "say" that The Herald
accompanies what il undertakes, or exerts an
immense influence, they are graceless liars
As it speaks Of its power as eyinced in defeat.
ing parties and electng candidates, let us
glance at its efforts in that direction and their
result:
In 1856, The Herald did It's best to elect
John C.. Fremont, but he was beaten. 1t tried
of the same time to defeat John A. King for
Governor of our State but he was overwhelm-
ingly elected In 1857, it tried to re-eleci
Wood, but he was beaten. In 1853, it did its
utmost to beat Gov. Morgan, but he was
elected In 1860, it went its whole length
against Lincoln and Morgan, but they were
both triumphant. In 1861, it singled out
James Lynch, Mozart candidate for Sheriff,
for denunciation and defeat; when, 10 Lynch
was handsomely elected, and erery other eandi-
date nhose name ioGs borne only on the Mozart
Ticket ras dttcated. At the late Charter Elec-
ton, it was vOciierous for Wood as the only
National, Simon-Pure, anti-Abolition candidate,
and sure to be elected; yet Wood was de-
feated, running lowest of the three candidates.
No other journal ever had such luck in beating
the candidates OF its choice as this same Her
aid, which now makes "the Radicals" cbarac-
terize it an the Warwick of parties and cnndi-
dates. The Radicals never invented that false
hood: it is The Hcraid's own.

PRINCE ALBERT

Prince Albert. the husband Of Queen Victoria,
vbose death il announced TIN morning. was bonn al
Rosansu. on the 26th Of August, 1879. lie was the
second son Of Ernest, Duke q SAKE Coburc Go;hs,
under whose immediate personal superintendent be
received an admirable education. which be completed
by attending the University Of Bonn, daring three
scademical sessions In July, 1888, he visited En-
gland in company with Leopold King Of Belgium,
and srent some time at the court Of the youthful
queen. ard in Nov. 1892 It was formally announced
to the privy council by tie queen that she intended
TO form matrimonial alliance with Prince Albert.
The secret had long been public property, but was
kent in suspense by the decorous contradictions of
tho ministerial journals The marriage was
.olemnyed Feb. 10, $40. For the purpose Of rem
dering him perfectly independent the munifcent
pcrronal allowance of $50, 600 year was made to
linn by Parliament. Beside which, he was field
marshal, knigh, Of the Garter, and other orders,
colonel of the Fusilier Guards, and held n number
of other lucrative or honorary appointments. lie
WIS a man of refined taste, and an accomplished
musician and daughtsman. Forbidden by his posi-
ton to interfere in politics. he occupied himself with
experimenting the education OF his children. The
progress Of the arts and sciences, and general
phianthropic subjects, such rs the dwellings Of the
working classes, sanitary arrangements, &C., also
engaged his attention. He was patron aud president
Of numerous charitable institutions, in which he took
personal interest. As President of the Society Of
Arts he was the chief promoter of the great exhibit
ton of 1851. Similar exhibitions confined to native
productions had been long held in Paris Brussels,
and even in Manchester, and other towns of En-
gland. But when the idea OF holding ore in London
was suggested to Prince Albert, he readily adopted
it, and zealousy co-operaed in the scheme of extend
ing it to the whole world. The popularity which,
for long time, he had enjoyed with I'LL classes was
for brief space overloaded in 1855, when rumors
were current among the opponents of Government,
that the prince took an undue interest in political
affairs, and even held communications with some
German courts, which were prejudicial to English
interests 80 that the ministers thought it necessary
to clear up all doubts by an explicit denial of the
report from their places in Parliament. He was
noted in country of scientific agricuurists, for the
spirit with which he carried ont agricultural expert
ments and his farming stock has been frequently
exhibited, and gained prizes. AS patron of art
Prince Albert has shown himself particularly
active.

mouthed devotes of +" the peculiar institution;
he must vote, and coerce his employees into
voting, and give money to induce others to
vote, as the Interest of Slavery was supposed
to dictate. The young asprant for political
position. whether called Wing or Democrat,
must glory in Human Slavery; he must lend
bis voice to euogize and his arm to uphold 1t.
Down to q very recent date, no man known to
be hostile to Slavery could be supported Tor
President or Governor, could hope for seat
in any Cabinet, or be successfully presented
for any Federal office. 1t is different now;
and the change has been sought if not helped
by The TRIBUNE. And we cherish joyful
trust that our Government will never again be
controlled and monopolized by the shareholders
as it has been. That the change thus effected
will exert some "practical' influence on the
tenure, the longevity, of Slavery, we confidently
believe.
The Sunday Atlas proceeds to argue that
the present Civil War is the result OF a col
lision between Slavery and Anti'Slayery. we
do not care to dispute this. But if Slavery
be can admitted evil" and we have resisted
it constitutionally and justly, we submit that
it will not be possible to halye or tumble the
blame of this atrocious Civil War. In law,
words are justly held no justification OF blows.
We detest Slavery, others like it; they have q
right to their opinion, we to ours; but neither
of us can find any excuse in our difference for
defyiDg the laws and plunging the country into
war. We have been badly beaten in many
elections, but never found III such defeat any
excuse for rebellion; and The Adas should not
intimate that they who sustain the Government
and laws are equally culpable with those who
defy them. This rebellion is utterly without
excuse.
AS to the suiferngs of the destitute, White
or Black, we acknowledge our obligation TO do
what we fairly can to mitigate them. The
first thing 10 be done in behalf Of the Poor is
to allow them the full and free use OF their
own faculties and powers under just and equal
laws. These falling, we must resort to Cnarity
or Aims giving: but let us fret be sure that
they are at perfect liberty ID help themselves.
Our sympathy for the slaves is excited by their
" admitted rrOngs: if a mere animal that we
disliked was suffering unjusty, We should de-
sire lie relief. Let tie slaves have justice, and
they Will cease TO command popular sympathy
perhaps even 10 desire it, And, whether this
.hau or shall not be accorded, we shall at all
times be ready to consider and commend any
which conteurlstes Improvement n
the condition Of unfortunate and needy Whites.

\ bill yesterday passed both Houses Of Con
zrsss, and vas signed by The President, pro-
g.d.ng for IN increase Of the duties on tea,
sugar, mollsses and coffee. The duty on tea
is TO be 20 cents per pound, on coffee ; cents,
on sugar u, 3, and : cents, and on molaases
6 cents per gallon. With regard to the duty
On tea, this IS 20 be said: While the qualities
and prices Of different kinds Of tsa are so va
r0gs, there il manifest injustice IN making
no discrimination in tie duties. The tea used
by the pOor-costny forty cents per pound
should rot be made 10 pay a. much as that
Of tie rich-costinz one dollar or more. We
do lot complain that twenty cents is too much
fox the lowest rate; bat if j: ia the lowest il
should not also be the highest, while there il
such a vide difference between the quality and
price Of the TIA used BY the two classes. II It
is right for the poor to pay in this way, it is
certainly right for the rich to pay proportions
bly,; and this, under the system proposed, they
viii not do.

We learn that Lord Lyons yesterday had
another interview with Mr. Seward. 1t is
understood, upon what seems to be good
authority, that the meeting was friendly in its
character and satisfactory in its result. Lord
Lyons, who some days ago had been in doubt
whether he could in tranquility enjoy his
Christmas dinner, formally renewed his pre-
vious invitations after his conversation with
the Secretary of State. A Cabinet meeting is
to be held to-day, at which it is thought the
case will be thoroughly discussed.

The personal friends Of Col. Corcoran-and
they are legion-no less than all those who
have so often heard of him since he was taken
prisoner at the battle of Bull Run, will truly
rejoice at the news which reached this city last

New England Society. The intelligence re-
ferred to ia nothing less than that the Colonel
has escaped from his confinement at Charles

formation, which appears to be entitled to be-

is known Of the Colonel's movements, 1t Is

The evidence in the Jefferds trial, which we
print this morning, and especially that elected
on the cross-examinatiOn of Mrs. Walton, will
be found to disclose one of the most marvellous
stories which has ever come to the eyes of the
world. At one time, not less than three men
were each claiming to be the husband of that
lady. A large amount of testimony was taken
consequent upon her examination, and several
witnesses were examined on both sides to
prove the character of the accused. After
session of eight hours, the testimony being
closed the Court adjourned. The case will be
summed up, and will go to the Jury to-day.
