satisfaotion with the existing confederaoy and
ays: ''f the mass of the people should here
after desire to enter the American Union, OF
which there is no proof or symptom. England
will assuredly not lift finger to prevent it.:

desire it, the United States can have no wish
ito receive them. Whether they gravitate in
that direction by natural Law, and are des-
tined one day to obey the centripetal force,

they prefer confederation under the British
monarchy. aud they ought to know their own
interests"

OF corruption against the Ex-Governor. The
.e.N New York Evening Post brings the ponderous
weight of it's denunoiation to crush the new
senator just as he is about entering upon the
enjoyment OF the privileges Of position which
( Is alleged TO have cost him no email sum. The
Dnnk
kost publishes and emphasizes the recent tes-
Mmony before the railroad com mttee at
ADany' In which It was stated that
$4,000 was paid TO friend OF Far,on
on an agreement that the Erie Railroad
