try. In the United States it should be
exercised only by the white male adult
population because the country is their
country the Government is their Gov
ernmentj they formed it to suit them
selves, as they had u right to do, in ac-
cordanee with their ideas of right aud
propriety. All this they had a perfect,
inalienable aud inherent right to do; aud
as the country is theirs they have a right
to exclude other races from a partieipa-
ton in its governmental affairs. They
have a right to say that the negro, the
Chinaman, the Kanaka, and the Indian
shall not vote and nus aid in making
laws and administering tho government.
Aud, on the other hand, if a white man
choose to live in the Fejee Islands, or
China, or japan, or Africa, his right to
participate in governmental affairs is held
in allegiance. Tho inhabitants of those
countries can say to him" We w this
country. 1t is ours. You may have in
herent rights, but you cannot exercise
them without our permission. We know
what suits us much better than you do.
We want none of your help, and will ac-
cept none from you. If you don't like
this you can go back to your WI coun-

here, and should raise children here, you
can do SO but we viii not allow them,

PUBLIC SENTIMENF.-The radicals are
making a great ado over the recent d~eclara-
ton of public sentiment, and aggregate
unto themselves a great many airs be-
cause they have been sustained by pub
lie sentiment.
1t isn't always any great credit to a man
to be sustained by public sentiment-for
it is a tickle thing, to say the least, and is
often found sustaining the wrong.
Public sentiment cruciied the Saviour,
and set Barrabas, the robber, free.
Public sentiment stoned the Apostle
James to death.
Public sentiment burned John Rogers
at the stake.
Public sentiment drowned innocent
women in New England as witches.
Public sentiment in New England
bored holes through the tongues Of the
Quakers.
Public sentiment mobbed the same
radicals a few years ago, for preaching the
same doctrines they now profess, and it is
a great pity they hadn't hung every
mothers son of them.
Public sentiment is a queer thing. 1t
processes christianity, it elects infdels
and blasphemers TO Office processes hon
esty, and puts the treasury into the hands
of the greatest set of thieves outside Of
the State prison; processes to be the
champion of freedom, and s~ustains the
greatest set of tyrants that aver escaped
assassination.
If the public sentiment don't hang
these radicals to ga sour apple tree some
of these days, we shallbe greatly mistaken,
and think a great deal worse oft than We
do now.

"a The Cairo Democrat says that a
Missouri hunter known as "Blackthorn
Wash" unearthcd an immense golden
treasure last week, only a few miles below
Wolf Island. In the washed banks of a
small ravine which puts into the Missis-
sippi in that locality, he detected the end
of what he first regarded as n keg Of pow
der; but attempting to remove it from It's
resting place he found it deied his efforts.
He thereupon employed at Ratchet which
he carried in his belt, and dashing in the
head of the keg was both astonished aud
gratiiied at the shower of gold and silver
coin that fell with a musical jingle all
around him. The keg contained So, 900
in eagles, $3.50 in half eagles, 1920 in
quarter eagles, and s170 in silver. There
was'nothing in or on the keg to indicate
who buried il there or when it was buried.

Wendell Phillips, is particularly anx-
ious, says the Ohio Crisis, that the South
should be impregnated with New Eng
land ideas, and forced up to the New
England standard of civilization. The
South is seeing a great deal more 0 fthese
ideas and this civilization than it cares to
have, if we may judge from what a Yir-
ginia paper says Of some loyal Yankee
contractors who are employed burying
the Federal dead in that State. The
Government pays these contractors So
for each body buried; but the shrewd
Yankees have struck upon the plan Of
dividing the body into four parts, bury
ing each part in a seperate hole thus Sc
curing quadruple pay for their work, or
s32 for each body. This, we presume, is
of the brilliant New England ideas about
which Phillips and his tribe rave and
sccld.
