Mr.. MASON JONES ON AMERICAN AY-
FAIRs.-The Manchester England Guar
dian of the 10Th ult. has the report of q
speech in Free Trade Hall by Mr.. Mason
Jones, the eloquent English lecturer,
who visited this country last year. He
gave an intelligent account of our civil
war and its prospects, and spoke warm
ly for the national cause, saying
The monarchies, the aristocracies,
the plutocracies, and the snobocracies of
the old world exulted at the prospect of
the overthrow of the great republic.
The flunkies of Belgravia were wild with
delight the loungers in the Pail Mall
clubs sang "Te Deums" all the organs
OF the slaveowning confederacy in Eu-
rope uttered cries of joy the political
Lord Dundrearys, like Mr.. Bearsford
Hope and Lord Robert Montague great
cheering)-men with more money than
brains, and more titles than common
sense-Qoud laughter and renewed
cheers -shouted with indecent exulta-
ton, because, as they said, "The Amer
lean bubble has burst, and we always
knew it would burst; republicanism has
failed, and we always knew it would
fail, The American war brought to
light all the sham liberalism of England
and there never was so much sham
liberalism in England as at the present
moment-from Lord Brougham, who
was in his dotage, down to the renegade
Roebuck. The whole theory of repre-
sentative institutions was at stake in
this American war-namely, that the
people shall be governed by the voice Of
the majority. If the Americans failed,
representative government would fail
everywhere, and the chains of despotism
would be riveted upon the people of Eu-
rope for the next thousand years. The
mouths of all reformers would be shut
up by the phrase look at the dis-Uni-
ted States

THE ST. ALBANs EXCITEMENT-Cap
Brown writes to the Free Press in rela-
ton to the release by him from Jail of a
private of the Seventeenth regiment,
mentioned in our paper of Saturday,
that the man released was not u men,
Der of his company, but Of Co D, in the
same regiment, who was committed to
Jail after his muster into the United
States service, not for disorderly con-
duct since his enlistment, but for what
occurred more than year ago, since
which time he has frequented st. AL
bans, with impunity until the day of his
arrest. The Captain also claims that he
received an order from Lieut.. Col. Cum
mings to have the man released "RoleHs
roleaS," and proceeded at once to perform
that duty, and the .jailor not wishing to
release man held by civil authority,
permitted his pockets to be searched for
the key with which the prison door was
unlocked.
This version seems unsatisfactory.
Picking a sheriff's pockets of the pris-
on keys is not exactly the right meth
cd in Vermont of procuring the re-
lease of a prisoner. There are other and
better methods of proceeding provided

O~7-Ths sutioined extract is from a-Bos-
ton newspaper. detailing tho method of re-
form adopted in the House of Correction
fer juveniles in that city: -
The girl was logged for disobedience
With a rattan, aud the Superintendent said,
4 struck her 10Th all my n1ight,'-'she would
not yield, l sent for a longer stick, and
then she held out her hand After this
beating and this submission she was com
mitted to the cell and the food of the soli-
tary, where she remained several days
The wells from the blows wero Distinctly
visible on her shoulders when the inspec-
tors visited the institution. In the course
OF the Investigation they were informed that
IN the boys department the p''nishn1ents are
sometimes inflicted NTH an ordinary Wagon
t0hip By the Superintendent in person." rl
Puritanism is very much the same now
as when it burned witches, hung Quakers.
and logged men for kissing their wives on
Sunday. It is bigoted,- cowsrdly, cruel,
and hypocriticaiism. and the above narrative
isl faithful portrsture OF its spirit. We
would wager several "green blacks" OF large
denomination against bad oyster that the
Superintendent who logged the little girl.
with all his m gbt'' with "longcr stick"
and committed her 10 the cell and the food
OF the solitary, where she remained several
days, and who logged the little boys with
an ordinary wagon whip, is descendent OF

last ground Of hope. or, rather the last sha-
dow Of ground. has vanished. The rugged

dence, but one dependence for the conser-
vative Unionists of the Republic, which is
through CO operation on the basis of single
minded devotion to the coun try, fer the

power at the ballot-box. This is, indeed
the solid dependence OF the Republic itself,

GA correspondent of the New York
Tribune, who would not likely overdraw
. picture of the kind he attempts to paint,
writes from Chattanooga as follows of the
Federal soldiery:
"After the battle of Chicamsuga and th e
falling back of our army to Chattanooga, a
thorough and indiscriminats system of for
age was instituted. For fifty and seventy
five miles foraging parties swept up every
thing. Their conduct was regulated by no
rule but to get everything. It was not for
aging, but merciless, indiscriminate, audac.
ious robbery of every family of the last peck
Of corn, of the last pound of bacon, of the
last COW, the last sheep. the last hog. the
very last morsel of subsistence. 1t was rob-
berry as only soldiers can rob; and not IN
frequently the bedding and clothing were
taken from the house. A thieviDg soldier
will steal the last crumb from sick baby's
skeleton fingers, and if this was not done it
was because the crumb had been stolen be-
fore!
This is what is called great "war for
the Union"

The DEMOCRATIC RAFT.-An Abolition
orator, ridiculing the Democratic party, de
scribed it as a raft. The metaphor is COR
rect. The raft is the only water craft
which cannot be sunk. The waves dash
over it in vain. And the Democratic Party
although drenched with flood Of Adolf
ton ballots, will still float along the tide OF
American history. Other parties can be de-
stroyed by defeat; but the Democratic,
never. It's principles are eternal, and will
never die. The Democratic raft cannot be
sunk.-Wayne County Democrat.
