Magyar king. The Monroe doctrine
as now interpreted, means that every
true American would, if he could,
plant q republic in Canada, in Mexico,
IN Brazil, even until the whole conti-
nent should bc republican,, without
one trace of the monarchical element.
This, however, goes beyond the origi
nal doctrine Of the estimable Monroe
He said: ''With the existing colonies
or dependencies of any European
power we have not interfered, and
shall not interfere" In this present
August, the New York Herald extends
the wings of the spread eagle to touch
Canada and Cuba. But why argue
the point? We are always liable to
the stern and cruslling retort that the
American is "a child of freedom"
and that t'his bright home is in the
setting SUM- In very close wet
weather like this, when the atmos-
pherc is simply one big tepid bath,
none but an Irishman could argue
against logic so irresistible and n re-
partec so sublime.

A New Feature sn History.

Among the many new features winch
sare now "making history for the black
republican party and which will give a
finishing touch to the triumph CT ianat-
cism and folly, is that of having the Ma.
tional Congress Subjected to the importu-
mites and surveillance Of negro lobby. The
lunatics Of New England were the first to
initiate this disgraceful and Illuminating
spectacle, and a Captain Downing is select
ed to represent that flnatical portion Of the
country for which he has been voted a
salary of $40 900 TO cover the expenses Of
his mission
Ohio negroes, urged On by Chase; the
e'ectionacrng Chief justice, and Wade,
the lunatic Senator, have selected a Mr..
Dlnston to watch the doings Of a white
mans congress. The salary Of this mis-
sionary darhy Is not stated.
New York radicals, whose political sal
vati,n depends upon negro advancement,
are encouraging the sambos Of the EN-
pire State to send The notorious Fred.
Douglass as lobby delegate, and fer him
th.r9 Is to bo purse Of SO 900!
But louisiana negroes have beat their
"bredrcn in dc nori," and have really elect
ed, by the aid Of white mems votes, a
delegate who they expect to have seat on
the floor of the House, draw mileage and
per diem, and an extra purse Of $4,000
has been made mp for him to operate with
on the minds Of the pale faced representa-
tivcs CT this REPUBLICAN goYcrnne1t.
1t is supposed that after thes, salatiea
negro lobby delegates have properly enforc
ed their hunanitarian ideas upon the white
representatives in Congress and. the Prcsi-
dent, we shall h ar Of negro Ministers
Planlpotentiary and Consu!s to the black
republics Of Hayti and Liberia, and of the
establishment Of negro bureau or depart.
ment, with 4 negro secretary, and ec GJtcio,

Thi, isa progressive ag2 and lunacy has
more to do with is rapid strides than rea-
son or common sense. IIurrah, thcn, for
negro lobbyists and lrna;ics in Congress.

Who makes money in Oil.

smell the end, swear there's Gil there, and
slap down hundred a1d fifty thousand dol

before the owner knows where be is

them like greasy Niagaras. Then he mar.

I'd see one of my children run half fright

Secrets or a GiMBLING HoUsE-The Ham
ilion Canada West) Spectator says that
while The Chief OF Police was searching for
goods lately stolen from Messrs F. w.
Gates s Co, he discovered a "gambliG g
den, " the main room Of which is described
as follows
"Thero was the ball and cup apparatus
loaded dice, some fifty samples OF marked
cards, and lot of wha, we believe are
called nest coin,' all used for relieving the
veTdant ones a fairs and other gatherings
But the great business OF the es,ablishr,eni
was iransacJed'in wha, was called the card
room. This room, on the second AaL
about ten OF twelve feet square and neatly
paPered, had most innocent appearance,
bat upon examining the attic over it sys>
TEN OF ielegFaphs was found to be arranged,
by which the unfortunate victims gould, in
a friendly game of chance, and with liule
danger Of discovery, be most thoroughly
and elTeclually robbed. The entrance to
this loll was through small door in the
end OF The building. The ceiling Of the
card room is covered with wall paper, and
there are two small hcles so neatly cut as
to escape detection, except upon a most
thorough examination. Immediately over
The holes The confederate was placed, and
so bad full view OF the cards in the hands
