THE MONROE DocTRINE.-At the
laying of the corner stone of the Wash
inston city Protestant Orphan Asy-
lum Yesterday, the Secretary Of the
Interior, Mr.. Harlan, in his address,
said "When the French, not now SO
friendly to our prosperity, sprung to
arms in the defence Of the Turkish
nationality we all applauded but
when they attempt to crush feeble
Mexico we despise their want of gen.
erous gallantry, and wish it might be
the will Of God, in the order of his
providence, that this great republic Of
ours should be calledsupon to protect
her feeble sister republic" This re-
mark met with general applause from
the large auditory present.

such a trip. They had reached about
half way up the mountain, when they
alighted and walked some distance
further. The sky then became over
clouded, but there was nothing in the
appearance of the atmosphere which
gave any alarm to the guide, well ac'
customed 10 such sudden changes
Mrs. Arbuthnot, feeling little tired
sat down to rest, and Mr.. Arbuthnot

HENRY A. WISE AND OLD JOHN
BRowE.-It will be remembered that
when Old John Brown was under
sentence Of death in Virginia, HON
Fernando Wood, of this city. as TEL
low democrat of the Southern rights
school, wrote letter to Henry A.
Wise, at that time Governor OF Vir-
giDia, pleading against the execution
Of Brown as bad political move ioI
the South, and suggesting that It would
be better to hang W. II. Seward It
they could catch him 1t will also be
remembered that Wise emphaticalIy
rejected the advice Of Wood, and
gloated over the hanging OF Brown
and it's political consequences. THIS
was in 1859, when Wise was the
/ Lord Protector Of Virginia and ho'
upon the trail Of the Southern conled'
eracy. What is be and where Is he
now? He was the other day IN Ken
mond asking of the government au

ENGLISH VERSUS AMERICAN
ELECTIoNs.-I have now witnessed
many elections in England, and am
prepared to say, without the fear OF
successful contradiction, that the most
noisy and outrageous scenes at the
American polls are prayer meetings
in comparison with the disgracefuI
scenes attendant here upon the most
quiet elections. ] know il has been
customary with the English press to
hold up American elections as com
bining all that is outrageous and dis.
graceful, but | think ] have passed
through some Of the noisost elections
at home, and know that they do not
even approach a parallel with those
almost invariably occurring here
The bribery and corruption resorted
to in England is Of the most trightful
description, and at the polls, to say
nothing of order and decorum, the
grossest outrages and indecencies are
practiced and tolerated, with scarcely
rebuke even from the more respec'
table portion OF the community.
