WAnNtS2-State otthe country, morally, poIjtica!'y
and sociaLy.-The New York Round Table collates a
fearful picture of the present state Of the country
morally, politically and socially, in leader on " Names
and Things," which says:
Compare prevalent dogmas with existing facts for
moment and see how this assertion is verified. The
popular theory is that this is government OF the
many for the many but for the sake of eurchng a
very few the entire community is taxed to burden
some, indeed to affecting degree. An extravagant
protective tariff is in operation, which, while 1t cn-
courage8 special fraud, builds up large fortunes for
ninutc fraction and impoVcrshes the great majority OF
the community. The numerous projects fer taxing
the public in the interest Of copOrati0nS-and we are
only in this respect the beginning OF series that is
certain if unarrcstcd, to become gigantic in number
and extent-are direct conspraces against the many,
conceived and carried for the benefit of the few
In the "rottcn ard ctfete" old countries Of Europe
these things are permitted and it is safe to
that neither in England France would the people
endure them. Being unsupported by the ultra Demo
cratic dogmas that console US here they would take
highly practical view Of things and each man. instead
Of comforting himself by tie continual~asscrtion that
lie was as good every other man, would insist that,
let the assaants Of his pocket be who or what they
might he would not be cheated by them.
ICconcuies: "Those who value the name Of lib
sry repubicnnism more than the real benefits they
supposed to confer are pretty sure to object to
these observations and the caution they intended
TO convey; but those who agree with us in thinking
that human happiness is Of more value than sounding
words; that comfort security, low prices, high wages
and honest Judiciary, Of more consequence than
the shibboleths Of spurious democracy, Will not
think such words Of warning either emphatic or
premature If the people Of the United States do not
wish to see their country ruled by dictator or an EN-
peror, or, more probably by man with rev title
invented for the OCCASION such warnings and the pre-
cautions they suggest are not supetuouS; and nothing
is more certain unless all human history and analogy
should be inverted for temporary benefit and utti-

GREELEY GETS AN ApPoINTMENT.-The New Orleans
