In the Revolution, in framing the Federal
Constitution, and in insttuting and administer
ing government under it,. the effort was to call
out political science and wisdom and place the
ablest, purest and best men at the head of af-
fairs. We have changed all that, and think
the safe course is, to enthrone ignorance and
folly, or, at best, low cunning and craft. At
first, we demanded a Washington an Adams, a
Jefferson, Madison, for a President; but lat
terly we have preferred Harrison, q Polk, a
Taylor, Pierce, q Buchanan, an Abraham Lin
coin and this last, since he has neither by ma
ture nor by education single qualification for
his office, is regarded as especially designated
by Providence to guide us through our present
most fearful crisis, and be the second Father of
his Country y X Having ordinary men
in the Presidential Chair, and in the Senate and
House of Representatives, for Governors of
States and members of State Legislatures, has
brought us where we are, on theverge of total
and irretreyable national ruin; and, as of old,
wisdom crieth aloud in the streets, and no man
heareth her voice. is time our folly should
end we should engage in earnest to study po-
litical science, ,-the principles, nature, and adj
ministration of government.-Brownson's Re-
UieW.
Very well said; but the Revieso, it strikes us,
would not bring about much of reform by
elevating Fremont to the Presidency Ten thou
sand men might be picked out from among the
people who in political wisdom, science of gov
ernment and all the attributes that go to make
up the statesman, far excel the Revie,o's cham
pion-Fremont.
THE SooKE MINEs.-The Victoria papers come
to us well filled with astonishing reports of the
Sooke Inlet gold mines. Everybody are get
ting rich suddenly, and all the rest are tremen-
dously excited and fixing to get wealthy.-Pa-
cifc Tribune.
If everybody are getting rich over there it is
very singular that there should be any ''rest"
to become excited about getting wealthy.

PAST BEL1EF.-A Correspondent writing to

mines, says new mines have been discovered
on a creek short distance from Fisherville
which for the distance of four or five miles pay
very well. One company took out eighty oun-
oes of gold in one day; and so far, he says, as
prospected, the hills bid fair to pay even better
than the creek Notwithstanding the Cores
pondent says that what he writes may be relied
upon as being "true and correct" eighty ounces
taken out of the creek by one Company in one
day and the hills promising to pay still better,
swamps our belief altogether.
