IL could be shown that we arc moving
on with avalanche momentum nlong
the track that The fatod civilizations
Of The post have followed, how few
would pause to take in the significance
Of the warningl
There aro multitades, confident Of
our national security, who have never
considered the fact that universal suf.
irage, on such n scalc as we have
adopted, is altogether unparalleled in
the history of the world Past repub-
lies furnish no prccedenls for us.--
Those of Antiquity, compared with
our scheme, were really guarded aris-
tocracies. They would have scornfully
applied tho not unfamiliar term of
ochlocracy government Of the mob)
10 our democracy. The sagacity Of
Aristotle would have led him TO aniic-
ipate for us revolution and anarchy.
We have gone to an extreme that
would have appalled, al tho leading
Republican theorists Of ancient times,
If not even such spectators rs Vano,
Locke and Sidney. We put the right
of suffrage into the hands where its
possession is mockery, We might,
If moro wisely, at least full as safely,
invest aulomatons with the exercise
of a right on which all the interests
that we hold dearest to US on earth
must lurgely depend.
Tho evil is one that none can dony.
and that all feel. our popular elcc-
tions are becoming u inrre. HOW
much worse is il for "repeaters" to

themselves a score Of times, than it is
for scores aud hundreds 10 cast votes
that imply no more moral weight or

that our city to-day stands as warn.
ing to our statesmen. We are the
victims of our theories. The State has
put them on, and they cling to her
living flesh like tho fabled shirt of Mes
sus 10 Hercules. She cannot tear them
Off All that is loft her is to make
the best Of her situation; in vigorous
and ultiring selfdefence TO do what
she can to fit her voters for the posi-
ton and duties of freemen. This is
task which is set before us in the prov
idence OF God, and ii is one which
challenges, and may well exhaust the
energies of all good men.
1t may not be pleasant TO look on
the dark side Of our national future,
but il has dark siGe, and one well
calculated to abate our foolish pride

presence of appalling forces that
threaten TO mock at all restraint
They are even now sporting with the

ties Of public justice They are in tho
confidence of license and impunity,
outraging public opinion aud cont m
ming dccency No intelligent and
thoughtful observers can fail to feel that
there is something serious and solemn
10 the duty OF an American citizen of
this generation. As the years fly by,
the duty becomes more urgent and
weighty. We need Christian sagaci-
ty TO discern il rightly and clearly.
and Christian people TO discharge it
fearlessly and well.-N Y. 0Jserrer.

Twas whispered one morning in Heaven
How the little child-angel May,
In the shade Of the great white portal,
Sat sofrowing night and day.
How sno said to the stately warden
He Of the key and bar
40, angel. sweet angel, pray you,
Set the beautiful gates ajar,
Only a little, pray you,
Set the beautiful gates ajar.
'I can hear my mother weeping
She is lonelyi she cannot see
A glimmer Of light in the darkness
Where the gates shut after me.
Oh turn me the key, sweet angel,
The splendor will shine 30 fart"
But the warden answered 81 dare not
Set the beautiful gates aiar.'
Spoke low and answered II dare not
Set the beautiful gates aiar"
Then up rose Mary the blessed.
Sweet Mary, Mother Of Christ;
Her hand on the hand Of the angel
She laid, and her touch suficed.
Turned was the key 10 the portal,
Fen ringing the golden bar;
And To- in the little ohild's fingers
Stood the beautiful gates ajar
In the little ehild-angels fingers
Stood the beautiful gates Jar
"And this key for no further using,
To my blessed Son shall be given"
Said Mary, Mother Of Jesus
Tenderest heart in Heaven.
Now, never a sad-eyed mother
But may catch the glory afarj
Since safe in the Lord Christ's bosom
Are the keys Of the gates ajari
Close hid in the dear Christ's bosom,
And the gates forerer ajar

Mr.. Calhoun might have learned
from the history of his great Roman
prototype that Censors are not likely
to be favorites among politicians.
Their place II anywhere among the
public stations Of our imperial people,
is in the Senate Ono State may, for
reasons of its own, stand by such a
man, but never our whole people.
Our Catos must, therefore, have no
Presidential aspirations; their power
lies in bringing the State TO their
support. Had Mr.. Calhoun never
wished to be President, all his life
would have been success. Tho very
fundamental idea of States rights is
an intelligent faith that tho States
are 10 American politics what mother
earth was TO the giant Anigus, viz (;
the perennial reinvigorating force.
But this force none can exercise with
full effect who seek the suflfages OF
TIC whole Union. His Presidential
candidacy weakened Colhoun in this
one section, as it, too, had aspiranls,
and he should have seen that his
power was great enough to make 9th.

exercise this power well he needed an

Shall Nature be sustained.-To give de-

no longer believe in it. II those who are not

LospoS, November 'l9.7-John Stuart
Mill writes an interesting article to the
Times, which appears in this morning
issue, upon the hasty action OF Earl
Granville in replying to Gortsehakoh
note, whereby England has been placed
in an embarrassing position. he
criticizes' severely the provisions Of Earl
Granvilles circular, and says that
England's statesmen, who are dragging
the country into war with Russia,will re-
ceiye the deserved execration OF the peo-
pie. He declares that the honor OF Eng
land is not concerned in the protection
Of Turkey, or the humiliation OF Russia.
Prof. Froude, the eminent historian, also
writes TO the Times an able article, IN the
same strain.
Baron Brunow, the Russian Minister,
communicated to Earl Granville a sup
Elementary circular, simultaneously
with the delivery of Count Gortseha-
koa's. The circular alleges that harl
Russell, in 1866, admitted in principle
that if the Austro-Prussian war modinei
the eastern statu quo, certain compensa-
ton and security would be necessary IN
the interest of Russia. The circular re-
fare 10 the consolidation Of the Rouman-
ian nroyinces, whereby il declares that
the treaty of 1856, from articles twenty
to twenty-eight prescribing the freedom
Of those provinces, was infringed in both
letter and spirit. I'D,
The Times, in an article this morning
reviewing the supplementary circular
from Russia, declares that it removes
none of the objections which the note
| from Count Gortschakoff raised The
Times firmly says that if Russia forhhes
the shores ofthe Black Sea, and launches
war vessels thereon, England's duty wlill
be painful, but clear and unavoidable.
Dispatches from Tours announce thai
England, with the approval OF the FRO
yisional Government of France, has re-
newed her proposals for an armlsuce'
based upon the pecuniary compensation
for war expenses in the raising OF fort
resses upon the frontier, and the neutral
ization of the provinces of Alsace and
Loraine-the great powers guaranteeing
the fulfIlment Of these conditions by
any future government of France. II
is also proposed that a Congress shail
assemble and settle these questions, and
also to deliberate on the Eastern ques
ton.
The correspondent of the LONDON
Times telegraphs from Florence that II
is asserted in diplomatic circles that the
Italian ministry has absolutely refused
to Join England and Austria in any
move against Russia. p 'ffi7rf
Dispatches received this morning from
Vienna announce that the policy OF thu
American government is suspected, b,
diplomatic circles there, to favor Russia
and approving of the attitude assumed
by that power. .qfa tt..n
