immolation of the Hon. Gentleman In qucs-
ton. He knows that he is heaping upon his
head a terrible load Of obloquy. He knows
that his support of the HConstltutional

word Of reproach with the people whom he
thus misrepresents In the successive Do

highest he may be called upon to support
measures still more Infamous than these.--
All this he must do and reap, the while, the

unborn infant, before he reach that position,
In which he can throw off the long-worn

History REPEATS lTsELF.-Great Britain
ruled the thirteen Colonies with rod Of
iron. They were subjected to taxation with
out representation, and when the odious
stamp act was imposed upon them, the bitter
cup ran over--even New England could not
stand the draft upon its pocket and, hiding
its penuriousness under the cloak of liberty,
took up arms against the tyrant. There are
now eleven Colonies, bordering the Gull
coast, that are subjected to the same tyranny
not by Old, but New England. So far
history has repeated itself, and the oppressed

The 4rH OF JULY.-We had hoped that
this anniversary would have passed off here,
as 1t should have done, in the quiet pursuit
Of ordinary avocations. But most of the
business houses were closed, and as we saw
no evidences, in town, of any celebration,
the day was, Internationally made TO wear
the semblancc of mourning for departed
worth. The observance of that once glo-
rious day has expired by limitation. !,
ceased to be ballowed, the moment the prin
ciples, to which it gave birth, were crushed
in the gasp of tyranny; and its celebration,
how,is an insulting mockery, in one section,
and, in the other, strange forgctfulness Of
its total want of applicability to the en-
shaved condition of eight millions Of people.
What is left to us, of the promises and
achievements of that memorable day p
Nothing, save the sad reflection that the sun
OF liberty which it saw arise in splendor, has
gone down in blood and tyranny. Flaunt-
ing banners, luxurious feasts and sky-scra-
ping orations, in commcmoration of the
birth of liberty are, now that liberty is dead,
nothing better than drunken wake, or an
insulting satire upon the exploded theory Of
self-government. The rise and progress,
decline and fall of the American Republic,
taken as series of accomplished facts, sug-
gest, to us, nothing akin to joyous exulta-
ton. Yet we have no word of censure for
those who, from habit or lo> = IF holiday,
choose to re-enact by-gone scenes and, for
getting the recent past can work up their
feelings to the point of efiervesence by re-
currence to happier days when they enjoyed
peace, plenty and literty---the rich bequest
of the heroes and sages of "'7G."

4 NICE QUESTION.

The question Of the right OF coore1 citizens to vote
is now before the Courts of New-York aud will soon
arise in argument before those OF New-Jersey. The
case in this city comes up under the Registry Law,
and the applicant or plaintiff is so white that the deli
cate faint which in the microscopic eyes Of ShylOcks
Justice marks him out for political accommodation,
is so vague as to be nlistngUishable. But he has it
notwithstanding; his wOvy hair" somewhat crisp,
we presume is proof Of it, for capllaries have for
many a year been considered by the best Southern
and Northern authorities good evidence of blood in
buying, selling or Kidnapping. hairs breadth Is
the measure of the oleuse otherwise, he is as white

sense and the means to forward his cause and con-
test his right Board Of Registers Of the Eighteenth
Ward with a delicate sense Of blood discovered, after
some pains, that this gentleman was a negro, and
thereupon as in conscience bound, inflicted upon him
a deprivation of political rights
The suit pending is utterly irrespective of the prop
erty qualification in the coored franchise of this
State. the plaintiff claiming that he has the same
right to vote as any other man as white black
himself His counsel, Mr.. Gilbert appeals from
the decision of the Registrars aud insists that before
again suffering punishment, bis client shall be tried
and convicted by jury who shall once for all de-
termne, if possible, what infnitessimal vciousness
runs in his blood and what flaments of crime cling
about him in every wavy hair of his head. Whether
the judge will agree with him, or decide the matter
on inspection" as he claims to do, is of course
only in the breast of that officer; but we do not
wonder that the proposition excited smiling. The
only wonder is that provision of the State Consttu-
tion inActing penalty without defining or pointing
out the means of determining the ohense, should not
long ago have sunk into deSuetude amid inextnguish
able laughter.
