of our Minister in England, so thai
when, after an ocean voyage, he reached
the British Government, to which he
was accredited, he found this great and
terrible indignity to his country ali eady
pertrated, and the fioodgates opened to
infinite woes. The Minister had been
announced; he was daily expected. The
British Government knew ofhis coming.
But in the hottest haste they did this
thing.
The other aggravation is found in its
dagrant, unnatural departure from that
anti-slavery rule, which, by manifold
declara tions, legislative, political, and
diplomatic was the avowed creed of Eng
land. Often was this rule proclaimed:
but, if we except the great act of eman-
cipation, never more pointedly than in
the famous circular of Lord Paimerston,
while Minister of Foreign Affairs, an
nouncing to all nations that England
was pledged to the universal abolition
of slavery. And now, when shareholders,
in the very madness of barbarism, broke
away from the National Government
and attempted to found a new empire
with slavery as its declared cornerstone,
anti-slavery England, without DAYS
delay, without even awaiting the arrival
of our Minister, who was known to be
on his way, made haste 20 decree that
this shameful and impossible pretension
should enjoy equal rights with the Ma
tional Government in her ship-yards, |
foundries and manufactures, and equal
rights on the ocean. Such was the de-
cree. Rebel shareholders, occupied in a |
hideous attempt, were taken by the |
hand, and thus with the official protec-
ton and the God speed of anti-slavery
England commenced their accursed
work.

The Democratic papers are all en-
gagged in growing over the "great DEM
ocratic gains in Connecticut" Very few
of their readers know anything about
how Connecticut has been going for
the past few years and are easily mis-
led. Two years ago James E. English,
the Democratic candidate, was elected
Governor over Joseph r. Hawley, Re
publican, by 9s7 majority, and three out
of the four Congressman were Demo
Gratis. Last year English was reelected
by ], ,765 majority.
This year English is defeated by ma
jority of 900, and three out of the four
Congressman elected are Republicans,
and this they call Democratic gain
How long would it take the Democratic
party to get control of all the States,
and working majority in Congress, at
this rate of gaining?

The Financial situation In Europe.

From n. Y. Bulletin.
The financial situation in Europe is
positively startling. Its various States
appear to be drifting into certain bank
ruptcy, With the exception of Prussia,
which seems to be the wisest governed
nation in Europe, they all have enOr-
nous debts which can never be paid;
and, excepting Prussia and England,
their expenses exceed their incomes.
Taxation has been reduced to a science,
and there is no art of eXtOrting money
from the people with which their re-
spective Governments have not made
themselves familiar. The excess of ex.
penditure over income has been sd COM
mon in all the European countries that
the fact of . deficiency scarcely excites
attention. Yet it is not to be supposed
that such a condition of affairs is, not
as injurious to nations as to individuals.
The only difference is, that the end is
slower in the case of national indebt-
edness. An individual is ruined by
debts more easily than a nation. But
in both cases the inevitable results are
bankruptcy and ruin.
In this view, the fatal facility with
which the Europeon governments cor
tinue to live beyond their means, is by
~ W VIC vi
kingIy government. How they cansson-
trive to obtain credit is matter of CUR
prise. But human credulity has q limit,
and the people, sooner or later, will
realize that the enormous national debts
they are piling up represe Mt their own
misery and poverty. The deficit of the
six leading nations of Europe, last year,
was S5O0, ,O0O, ,0O0-more than the expen-
ditures of the United States including
interest on the national debt.
This Indebtedness, however, is not an
unmixed evil. 1t increases The depend
ence of the government upon the people,
and Its tendency is to break down the
last remaining links of feudalism. The
governments have contrived to obtain
possession of the best portion OF the soil
of their respective countries, which are
mortgaged for the payment of principal
and interest. BY and by there will be
financial collapse, and no payment of
interest. Then will come the foreclosure
and sale of public property.
This process has been going on for some
time In Spain The government Of that
country could obtain no more loans, and
was obliged to sell off large slices of the
public or royal property to pay expenses.
AS for the Pope, his property-Vatican
and all-are passing slowly but surely
into the hands of the Rethschilds, who
have mortgages upon almost everything
of saleable value belonging to him. Other
nations are passing the same ordeal, and
will doubtless some of them soon be in
the hands of the money king.
! Our own national debt is large enough
to cause uneasiness. But there seems at
least to be an honest purpose to pay it,

with the national honor. Even Mr..
Gladstone, the great English financier,
admits that it may be paid off in one
