ROYALTY FROM THE PACIFIC.

Queen Emma of the Sandwich Islands, who has
been on visit to Queen Victoria, arrived here yester
day in the steamer Java, from Europe, on her way
back to her own island home in the Pacific. After
witnessing the workings Of Royalty in one ofthe most
splendid of the European Courts, and receiving marked
attentions from her sister of England and the English
nobility she comes to country where there is no mon
arch and no court but in which she will we doubt not
receive all those marks of respect which her SEX her
character and her exalted position claim for her.
The Americans are plain. republican people, inno-
cent Of the idoatry Of rank, but when a Royal per-
onnge Of repute is pleased to visit the United States,
a cordial reception may always be reckoncd on, es-
peciay when that parsonage belongs to the gentle
sex Queen Emma's presence here will occasion no
excitement for she represents monarchy in its hum
bles. condition. and her is not associated with
anything calculated to stir the popular feeling; but in
the quiet. unostentatious, yet hearty welcome our
citizens will give her, she will have what we trust
may prove pleasant lifelong momento Of her visit
to the great American Republic.
This visit has its significance. From what she has
seen in the Sandwich Islands Of American enterprise
and energy and skill Queen Emma could not fail to
learn respect for the American flag, with which all
the countries Of the Pacific are quite familiar.
The Sandwich Islands are the great rendezvous for
our whaling fleet in that ocean. Among their inhab-
itants there is quite number Of American set
tors; and the principal part of the for
eign trade Of the islands is carried on with
the United States. American missionaries, too,
are laborng among the islanders, instructing them
in the truths of Christianity and teaching them the
arts Of civilized life. Queen Emmas people owe the
Americans debts ii is meet that she should acknowl-
edge il. From the commercial relations Of the two
countries springs mutual benefits Of an important
character; it is expedient that the bonds Of trade
between them should be strengthened. We trust
that Queen Emmas visit will have the effect of con-
yinong her that she and her people have true friends
In the Americans.
We have remarked that there is nothing in the
Queens presence here to create excitement; and yet
there is sufficient to awaken curiosity. Her Majesty
comes from part of the world around which interest
ing memories must ever cluster. To none who have
perused the narrative Of that intrepid nay;-
gator, of immortal memory Capt. Cook, can a
member Of the royal family of the Sandwich
Islands be an object of Indifference Nearly loo
years have passed away since Cook first set eyes
on those lonely islands and great changes have taken
place during this time in the character and pursuits Of
their people, but the associations connected With the
discovery Of the islands have yerdancy about them
whose freshness no lapse Of years can afset.

of Congress, we propose to hold TIE Conservative
minority responsible for the acts Of the Radical minor
iy" No, Sir you know better We propose to
hold each Of them responsible for their own acts,
whether of commission or omission, and you for

Democratic or johnson minority ought not to make
capital out of the passage Of unjust measure pro-
posed and unanimously supported by themselves Is
not that palpably just! But call on the people OF
all parties to question their candidates. and demand
Of them public pledges to put back the pay TO $1,000
per annum for each, With deduction of s2j for each

10 cents per mile by the most direct mail route, and
the whole matter will be placed OIL just basis. II
any one should not be satisfied with this let him de-
