The savage SatiriSts of Printing House
square have found cUngenial food for merri-
ment in the last drawing room-that is, a
morning reception ut st. JameS'S palace in
London. 1t was the first and the last of the
season, and some two or three thousand peo-
pie tried for five mortal hours to see the new
princess of Wales, submitting for that space
of time to imprisonment in fashionable hen
coops Of carriages; to be stared at by an of.
fensive and often complimentary mob; then
to be ushered into "a series of royal cattle
pens; to be whisked through Il room past a
pale and exhausted lady adorned with what
they crilicise in the cyncism of their dissatis-
faction, as IAN unbecoming head Dress" to
be abused by pater-tamilias and to have spent
a day in contemplation and fasting" at cost
Of from two to five hundred dollars per head.
Such sight, if not enough to make angels
weep, made the penny-a-linerS Jovial, and
they drive their quilts geefully in describing
the scenes, incidents, &C., of the day. From
variety of accounts we gather substantially
these details. AT an early hour in the morn
ing, May Fair, the nobby part of London
seemed IN state bordering on distraction
The Boulevards would be less disturbed had
the Bourbons returned. Carriages were
rushing to and fro, fOOtmen ran backward and
forward, and through the half opened blinds
might be seen some angry Mars, strlulnS, ma
iesticaliy (the hat, which is for his head, I'M
der his arm) and engaged in that domestic
religious ceremony which is preparatory to
all Joint. marital excursions, known as ''cuss-
ing" because the lovely Astarte failed to ap-
near. A. last, blushing through the family
roseate tinge-whch her ladyship's tirewo-
mans own cunning hand laid on-the bloom
ing beauty-all crinoline and lace, and ieath-
ers and iewelry --descends. Mars thoroughly
whipped by the descending avalanche OF love-
illness, unable to abuse il creature OF such alb
undant charms, takes his place with his much
altered goddess in his vehicle, and the pair
are whisked away. But now the troubles OF
the day commence. The carriages draw up
in line, and the line is already nearly two
miles long. For whole hour it has gone on
increasing and has not Judged an inch. Ii

The ro.Slavery UniOnists, Il very small
and rapidly diminishing party, labor under
the prepesterOus delusion that when the
Union shall be restored the shareholders will
obtain all the guarantees they desire, in addl-
ton to all the old and cumbersome machine
~ which the old nation was formerly put I'M
der bonds to run for their exclusive benefit.
The only basis these conservative gentlemen
can see is the projection of the slave proper
tv of their southern brethren" The people
have had quite enough OF this, and very gen
orally think that an institution which demands
fine possession and direction not only of the
local Government of the states where it exists,
Int of all the other state governments, and
fine federal government itself, is Il nuisance
and an imposition, and should be aha:ed For
il is not enough for slavery that it should con-
trol all the slave states and the national gov
ernrnent but every governor, legislature and
sheriff, from the Ohio river to the Canada
line and the Atlantic coast, must be an obSe-
ouinus servant and savecatcher for the slave
holder. There never can be a restoration OF
the Union ON such a basis as the revival of the
African code 1t is idle to talk of harmonic
ing on the very ground of diSunion.
IL is lncomprehensible SHY any man who
desires a reconstruction of the Union, and the
establishment of harmony between the various
sections, should select as the basis OF restora-
ton the very thing about which there has been
for three generations the hcrcest dispute, ana
which at least u, 100000 out OF 3O,OOO,UuO oil
the American people, to say nothing O1 al
christendom abroad, thoroughly detest. DC
the pro-slavery Unionists hold slavery to be
more valuable than the Union, that they ask
