The Boston Post says: Crime
is terribly prevalent in New

staid cities and quiet towns are
startled by some deed of blood,
some revelation of beastliness or
of rascality. Our Southern breth-

Thurlow Weed, the veteran ed
itor of the New York Commercial
Adrertiser, bears the following tes-
timony:
"The loss of our political ascen-
dency in Connecticut, California,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, New jersey,
and New York, carrying over to
the Democracy half of the electo-
raj votes of the old free States
teaches Radicalism nothing! The
loss of half our strength, in a sim
gle year, ought to open the eyes
of those who are responsible for
the welfare of the party. But it
does not. A leading Radical at
Washington said to a Conserva.
tive Republican, last week, that
the object of Congress was to Sc
cure the votes of the ten Rebel
States for It's Presidential candi-
date, and that if the Supreme
Court stood in the way, its teeth
would be drawn, and that if the
President interfered he would be
impeached. Hence we said, what
we repeat with all the emphasis
that language can impart to the
warning, that Congress is hazard
ing the loss Of twenty achite States
for the control of the ten btdek
ones. ."

CATTLE-The supply on sale to-day,
was by no means large, and as usual
there was scarcity OF good cattle, such
as are bought by first class butchers.
The whole number on sale reached
about $50 head. the great proportion of
which were of an inferior kind, and
while prime fat hefiers and steers sold
readily at full prices, rough steers and
oxenI and old cows and stays OF which
there was an abundant supply, ruled
very dull, and we presume considera-
BILE number of this kind would be left
over unsold. tits but proper to remark,
however, that even for good Cattle, the
demand was not as brisk as usual to-
day, which may be attributed to the
fact that the markets are well supplied
with poultry, which can be bought
(dressed) for less than is charged for
roast beef.
Prices ranged from z to ~ for good
10 prime, and extra may be quoted at
toSK. Medium butchers stock, may
be quoted at o to 6H, and stockers at 4
to 5lz, according to quality and condi-

as being the hardest Christmas market
they had experienced for some years.

from DutcherS, the market ruled eX-

week, prices were lower. Some of the
dealers, encouraged by a better market
last week, brought in larger number,
and the butchers having 1t all to them

result OF the grandeur of American citi-

to a prouder position among the ma

who are clothed with the solemn trust
of representing this great realm OF free
men who rule here, not by divine right,
but by free institutions, that when
they stand speaking for us at the bar OF
any civilized nation in the world, they
shall not on the one hand disgrace
US by boastful gasconade, or on
the other, dishonor us by bow
ing the knee. Then when with that
self-reliance, that calm and dignitied
American nationality, we command
that respect TO which our great re-
sources and our uuequalled trials which
we have survived so gloriously and
auspiciously entitle US, we need
not go into the markets of the world to
offer gold and silver to induce those
islands of the seas and adjacent States
and provinces 10 cast in their lot with
us, sto share in our future.

bribe that is bought with gold, as any

aIity to win those who are near to us in
