States but the merchants did not take 10 the uea of

We hope it will yet be established that the
People of tho United States, represented III
Congress, have somewhat to say as to the dis
posal of their hard earned money. The $780,
900 for Walrussia is gone and now we wish
Russia would take the territory back as free
gift, and save orr people the payment OF at least
81 100000 per annum more through all time for
fortifying its coasts, trangulating its seas, i'm
proving its harbors, lighting its headlands, &C.,
&c. But against this purchase of two paltry
islands for several moro Millions in gold, we
entreat Congress to make determined stand.
We don't want remote insular possessions they
must inevitably require an immediate heavy
outlay for their fertilization, &c; and they can
not fail to prove source of weakness and to
call for further heavy OUTLAWS, whenever we
shall be involved in war with maritime power.
Do let us see if q stop cannot be put to TINS

our magnificent Secretary of State, who never

our taxes. Who has presumed TO receive

MIXED MARRIAGES.

The World, being in need of information.
turns naturally and wisely to The TRIBUNE.
1t shall not seek in vain. Here is its problems
"This question OF ltermarriage Of Africans with
persons Of the White European races Is most interesting
and becoming every day. by reason OF Kepnblean egs
atOn Of fearful practical importance. The fundamental
idea Of the Republican party, In its treatment OF tne
Southern States coequalty OF the White and Black
races Ought such cocquas to be permitted to inter-
marryi We shall lie glad to hear from THE TRIBUNE on
cal relations OF this subject MajorGen Pope desires
Instant Information from headcenter of hls party|
Answer.-The Apostle Paul. being once
pressed to decide whether certain parties
should or should not marry, responded that II
they were content to remain single he advised
them to do So but considerably added that
alt is better to marry than to burn" Our an
swer to The World will be found imbued with
the spirit of the great Apostle.
We can imagine no circumstances under
which it would seem to us fit and wise that
White and q Black person should be joined in
the holy state of matrmony; and yet we claim
no right to judge for others in the premises
and can suppose no case in which the State
would be justified in interfering to prevent
such marriage any more than to command
it. If Democracy has cOncOcted or borrowed
an interference theory" which justihes such
meddling, it is worse theory than even tUe
had supposed. All do know that there are
several hundred thousand mulattoes in TINS
country and we presume no one has any Sc
rious doubt that the fathers of at least nine
tenths of them arc White Democrats. And we
hold that those Democrats, if they ~iH have
yellow children, might better than otherwise
treat the mothers respectively as wives, after
the laudabe pattern of that eminent Democrat,
Vice President Richard NJ Johnson Every
body knew what were the colors of his wife
and children; yet they did MT cost him the
support of single White Democrat-New-f York
and Connecticut giving him their whole Eec-
toral Vote Hence we conclude that the Demo
cratic aversion to color in wedlock is neither
general nor sincere.
Will The World have any more information

The Church of England has for years been

tempt in itself is matter purely ecclesiastical,
which ought to be settled by ecclesiastical leg
islation. But in England it has been OF fire.
quent occurrence that rowdies have availed
themselves Of the widespread popular discon-
tent produced by the Ritualists, and inter
rupted divine services in the churches OF the
Ritualistic party in the most shameful manner.
The latest occurrence of this kind is reported
from All Saints Church, Lambeth, where on
Sunday, Nov. "a, a general riot took place, and
a beautiful font within the communion rails
was broken. There is no Christian country,
we believe, where the law is so insufficient for
protecting the celebration of divine worship as
in England.

the captured Garibaldians Compared with the
conduct Of most European governments on SIM
liar occasions this is commendable act Of
clemency, but if it is remembered that those
captives belonged to an army which intended
to present the King with an addition to his

THE BEAUTIFUL LAND.

There's Beautiful Land by the Spoiler unrod'
Unpolluted by sorrow or care;
II Il hghted alone by the presence OF 6ou,
Whose thro1e and whose temple are there;
Its crysfaiine streams with murmuring flow,
Mea,lder through valleys so green,
And r., mountains Of jasper bright in the glow
OF spiendor no mortal hath seen.
And throngs Of singers, with jubiant breath.
Make the air with their melsdies rife;
And one known ON earth as the Angel OF Death,
Shines here as an Angel Of {ifel
An infinite tenderness beams hrom his eyes,
On his brow Is an infinite calm;
And hs voice IS It thrills through the depth OF the sxes
Ii a. sweet as the Seraphim's psalm.
THROUGH the amaranth groves Of tho Beautiful Land
Walk the souls who arc faithful in this;
And their oreheads, sarcrowned Dy tue zepny1S afe
Tf,t eyernore murmur of bliss;
They taste the rich utage that hangs from the uee
And breathe the sweet odor OF mowers
Moro fragrant than ever were kissed by the breeze
In Arabys loveliest bowers
Old prophets whose words were spirit Of fame
Blazing out DER the darkness of Time;
And martyrs whose courage no tortures could tame,
Nor turn from their purpose subfmei
And Saints and Confessors, numberless throng,
who were loyal to Truth and to Right,
And e as they walked through the darkness OF Wrong
Their footprints encircled with light
And the dear little children. who went to their rest
Ere their lives had been sullied by Etn,
while the Angel OF Morning still tarried guest,
Their spirits pure temple within;
And their forehssds sarcrowned, by the sephyrs are
Tnst nlow fsom the Gardens Of aodl
Nv soul hath locked in through the pathway Of dreams
- On the city al payen with gold,
And though It stn waite on this desoiase strand
PILGRIM and stranger on earth,
Yet d knew in that glimpse Of the beautiful Land,
mat It gazed on the homo Of It's hirthi
