Monopolistsf" Surely, The Express and The
Post never reach that land of luxury for the
Million! Ought not the deluded to be warned
Or are they too infatuated to heed the truth
And here are our neighbors of the DOmin-
ion, swarming over the line in thousands to
work for the mill-tyrants and bloated op-
pressors of Massachusetts,, as well as to buy
lands and till them in Minnesota and Kansas
You would naturally suppose that they would
know better than to leave a cheap country,
where taxes are light and Protection unknown,
to brave the hardships and horrors of this af-
flicted land; yet they are coming this year as
they never came before-even abandoning
their lands unsold to take shelter under the
starry flag, because they find more work and
better wages here than in Canada. Why don't

The Erening Post is blessed with an arith-
metical genius who figures away desperately to
prove that, because of our Tariff, British
working man gets more Of the nccessarics of
life for his weeks work than he would receive
for similar labor in this country 1t is desper-
ate figuring, but, rs he makes his facts as lie
goes along, he generally comes out ahead.
He graciously admits that a laborer could earn
more diamonds in year by working on this
side of the Atlantic; but if he wants victuals
and clothes, hc can earn them more easily on
the other side of the ocean,

We venture once more to ask the journals
of our State to take up the New Constitution
which the People are to accept or reject at the
State Election next Fall, and commend it to
thoughtful consideration. There are doubtless
some who will vote against this, as they would
vote against any new Constitution but, what
ever the prepossessions of a voter, it eau do
him no harm to acquaint him with the essential
facts The submission of this Constitution in
four distinct portions or parcels-no one being
allowed to vote for or against the whole-is
very unfavOrable to its adoption; and it will
be necessary that its friends should be active
and vigilant But, whether the People shall
accept or reject it, we urge that its provisions
be seasonably and thoroughly canvassed.

Gov Boutwell, has not always seemed to us
to move as rapidly and as vigorously in the en-
forcement of the sinking fund clause in the law
of 1862 as might properly have been desired. But
the country has already seen the excellentresults
of the action he has taken in this regard, and
will give cordial welcome to the announce
ment made this morning that he proposes to
increase by over one-half his purchases of
bonds for the next two weeks. If instead
he were doubling or trebling those pur-
chases for the next year the qualification felt
at his course by all who believe the golden
doctrine of the Presidents Inaugural, concern
ing the duty of enforcing the laws, would be
even greater than it Is

Reckoning MOnaTchsts, Democrats, Radicals,
and members of the Third Party, the total OPP
position in the late French elections numbered
3G71 ,524 votes out Of 6,00S,5Gj, the whole num-
Der of actual voters The semi-oflcial state
ment, which we publish to-day allows but
1J3, ,263 to the Radicals, which number, we pre-
sumo, includes the vote of Paris mainly. 1t
may be that a good number of Radical votes
are hidden away among the additional 1,507, GAS
who, it is confessed, voted the ticket of a
democratic opposition. The vote of the Tiers
PART, which is about 100000, is classed as part
of the general dynastc majority, though prac-
tically it cannot be counted upon in support of
the Imperial administration, and will only be
swayed by events, as they happen to be turned
by Imperial or Radical hands. The decrease
IN the official vote since 1863 amounts to more
than million-another proof that France has
changed, and that the Empire must change
with it. Napoleon has not bayonets enough
to conquer the force of this falling off

virtue was not equal to the occasion. They
promised that they would make no speeches at
Gen. Grant, and ask him to make none; but
the spirit of the Peace Jubilee, which is
not spirit of holding their peace, pos
sessed them all. Three distinct speeches
were visited upon the President, and
an grafton quite remarkable as coming
from him was extracted in reply to one of
them. We were prepared for any wonders this
week in Boston, and we felt sure that, while so
much sound was in the air. the talking faculty
of the speech-makers could not be suppressed by
anybody's resolution. Since it was to be SO

Pitman, and Speaker Jewell for their remark

The meager extract which we have OF the

Lovers of the national game will be inter
ested in our report of the spirited contest yes
terday between the Atlantic Club of Brooklyn
and the noted Red Stockings of Cincinnati.
New-YOIk does not easily yield the palm in
baseball; but the Buckeyes are too much for
us. They set out some time ago to try the
mettle of the Eastern players, and so far they
have gone on from one victory to another,
winning if we remember rightly, every one of
something like a dozen pitched battles. Their
conquest of the renowned Atlantics caps the
climax and fills their measure of triumph.
They are indeed a splendid company of young
men, and most worthily uphold the honor OF
their GREAT State.

1t is an interesting fact, of which we have
been pretty often reminded recently, that in
England woman suffrage is Dracticed in yestry
meetings. In case of contest, there must be
some droll scenes sometimes witnessed on such
occasions. If the reader will look into the
volume of Mr.. Dickens's !early Sketches" he
will find a humorous account of the great con-
test between Bung and Spruggins, for the
Beadleship. Several mothers of families" re-
cords the historian, half promised their votes
"for Bung." On the other hand, however, "the
"majority of the lady inhabitants of the par
"ish at once declared for Thomas Spruggins."
But it is to an unfortunate incident OF tic

The Peace Jubilee in Boston has produced
already n great deal of poetry either to be
said or sung. We are happy to say that some
of it is of better quality than the following,

And the loud cannon roar;

might be singing different tunes in Boston this
