rare promise, he was suddenly translated to

1t has been said that the nomination of Sey.
mour was the result of a deep-laid and adrot.
ly managed plan on the part of himself and
friends. This may be true to some extent;
but we think the following letter of Pendle.

Taxing National Bonds.

The proposition to tax the interest upon
our national securities is supported in somc
quarters, on the ground that Austria has JUS
resolved upon the same thing. But the fact
is, that Austria has already greatly damaged
her foreign credit by the proposition. The
London Standard says;
The next time Austria wants money il
will have to raise it at home. After this sig
nal breach of faith and after the arguments
by which it has been excused, il will be vain
to appeal to France or England. The great.
er the induccment offered in the high rate OF
interest, the stronger will now be the warning
against touching it, Baron Won Beust's as
surauce that the rate of interest is ncccssa.
rily always in inverse proportion to the Sc.
curity Of the capital will be taken to heart.
Speaking on the same subject, the London
Adrertiser says;
This last great national swindle ought
once aud for all to teach the monied interest
a lesson which it ought to have learned long
ago. There are certain sorts Of public aud
national Investment, as there are certain sorts
Of private stocks and securities, upon which
really sensible people would never lay out
one shilling, Austria ought not to have been
trusted any more than Spain. Every man
who knows anything Of the history of Europe
for the past ten years must know what Aus
tria really is--she is the sick man Of the West,
aud not so much entitled to be trusted as the
sick man Of the Fast, because the latter has
friends and hackers, which the other has not. "
This strong language represents the voice
of Europe and our American credit will be
treated in exactly the same way if the knavsh
now before Congress, and support
ed by the Democratic platform, should be-
come law

The Naturalization Laws.

The Republican party, having the
power, is responsible to the country for
"a correction of some of the fragrant
wills resulting from our present system
of naturalization. Congress should take
mp the whole subject and amend the
laws in the light of terrible experience.
The power OF naturalization should be
vested by the Government in the ma
tional courts only. The spectacle in
some of the courts of this State in tie
ty of New York, is a disgrace to the
country. The shame,esSness of Ger
tain judges stains the be lch and tht
oar. The infamies of the worst day
Of sycophantic judi ciary are revived
in some of those courts, whose judges
hold at the pleasure of the most de-
graded population, and who ceaselessly
pander to their master. The absur
dity, the tragedy, of elective judges has
not yet invaded the national judiciary
A United States judge need not flatter
the criminals at his bar in order TO Sc
cure his reelection to the bench Such
men may therefore be trusted with the
process of naturalization and nothing
bat court of the United Sta es should
be authorized to make citizens of the
United States.
The details of the laws also require
careful examination. Bearing the Oh
ject of such laws constantly in mind,
the regulations should be adjusted to
attain the object. They shonld be con-
sidered in the light of actual experience
and common sense, and not merely the
oretically. One point which it is
plainly necessary TO secure is certain
and long period between the natural a
ton and the right of voting. Let us not
consent to be swndled out of our gov
ernment and let everybody under
stand that when he comes to set le in
America he can have no vote except
upon conditions which experience has
shown to be necessary to protect the
of all the people. The process of re-
construction will require only to he
carefully watched by Congress and the
people that its purpose may not be de-
feate1. But the subject OF naturaliza
ton may very properly command the
earliest aud most careful consideration.
In adjusting it wisely Congress will de-
fend the country against ono Of The
plainest perils. In avoiding or neg
Letting it Congress exposes constitu-
tional government to the most danger

THE DAILY MONITOR.

Is now one of the permanent institu-
tons of our prosperous city. Not
single day passes without our receiving
one or more advertisements, given to
us for whole year. We have succeed
ed beyond our most sanguine expecta-
tions. Our business men have respon-
ded most nobly-they fully ap-
preciate our labors to retain trade at
home, and all are lending us their en-
couragement and influence. We intend
to keep our paper fully up to its pres
ent standard, and shall improve as we
grow older and gather strength. On
Saturday last, no less than six of our
citizens called at our office, and sub
scribed for the MONITOR.
We already have large subscription
list, which is daily being increased.
We feel grateful for the liberal patron
age extended us-we shall strive to mer-
it continuance of public favor.
The DAILY MONITOR must stand on
its own merits. The publishers have
no rich hackers nothing on which to
rely save on their dependence upon the
continued good wishes of a discrimin-
ating public. We shall be glad to pub
lish communications, which may be of
general interest, or which may tend to
add to the wealth and prosperity of our
city. We do not intend to puff out
siders-our columns are devoted to the
interests of our own tradesmen.
Those in want of anything from a
paper of pins to first class steam en-
CINE, can ascertain the place to make
desirable purchases by looking over our
advertising columns. Our readers
need not feel backward in patronizing
those who advertise in the MONITOR
They are men noted for enterprise, and
they deserve liberal share of public ia
vor. We trust our readers will discrim-
mate little before making purchases,
and not go from town (under the false
decisions held out by foreign adyeriis-
ing humbugs) for articles of merchan-
disc, that can be bought here with less
trouble, and at as cheap rates,
Our tradesman need all the encour-
agement that can be afforded them ;
and ii our own people neglect to give
them that which they so much need,
we can never hope to be a successful
commercial city. Hundreds of people
from PIainfeld, Railway, Amboy, Sta
ten Island, and other contiguous pla-
ces. do their trading with our business
men THAT is with those who ADVERTISED
and if they find greater inducements
here than elsewhere, it is high time
that the practice Of a certain class OF
our own people discontinued the bad
practice of doing their shopping out Of
town.

over rebellion and anarchy in this land is II :
generating the nations of the earth, and the
liberal principles of equality and recognition
of man as man are worHinB good through
out the world, which none can limit
Let us then thank God for these and all
other mercies. Let us especially thank Him
for His blessings upon this our beloved State
Fiat while increasing in every material
wealth we have been during the past year ex-
empted from all natural commissions, pesti-
lence and famine-That orr citizens in the
enjoyment Of the fullest liberty are a mora ,
virtuous and law-ahitling people-That the
poor and INDECENT have been cared for, the
disabled soldiers OF the state supported and

SocIABnITY. Hawthorne, in bis
diary, makes record of day wherein h.
resolved to speak to no human SOUL
He went to the village, got his mail al
the post office, returned, and trium
phi tntly recorded the fact that he spoke
to no man. Is it any wonder that witt
all his genius, Hawthorne was mel
ancholy and essentially an unhappy
man ? How much wiser and better
the opposite course. Think of how
much happiness you convey to others
by kindly notice and cheerful con
versation. Think how much sunshin,
such soeiability let's back into youl
soul. Who does not feel more cheer
ful and contented for receiving polite
bow, genial "good morning" hearty
shake of the hand Who does moi
make himself the happier by those lit
tie expressions OF fellow feelings and
good will Silence and a stiff, unbend-
ing reserve are essentially selfish and
essentially vulgar. The generous and
polite man has pleasant recognition
and cheerful word for all he meets
He scatters sunbt ans wherever he goes
He paves the path of others with smiles.
He makes society seem genial and the
world delightful TO those who else
would find them cold, selfish and for
lorn. Aud what he gives is but 1.-THE
Of what he reoeiY Be sociabie, then.

nently worthy of the attention of those
to whom they are addressed. 1t is OBJ
vious that the present naturalization
system cannot be continued without
serious danger to our institutions. =
There must be additional safeguards
against the dissertation of the sanctity
of the ballot, and the pollution of the
very springs of authority in the nation.
The precise form of those guarantees,
it is not for us TO suggest, but there IS
one point on which all must agree, and
that is that none but the United States
Courts should possess the power OF
naturalization. Starting with this,
other points can be easily harmonized.
But in addition TO reform III the matter
of naturalization, we need national
registry law, of stringent and practi-
cal character, with comprehensive pro-
visions for ascertaining who are voters
and protecting them in the fullest en-
joyment of their rights, while barring
out all others by insuperable prohibi
tons. We have some reason to believe
that this subject is engaging the atten-
ton of some OF our most distinguished
legislators and it is to be hoped that
they will, promptly upon the meeting
of Congress, bring it up for eonsidera-
tinn and action
