Great Observation-Disclosures.

There arc the usual indications of turbu-
lent spirits in England that occur at a time
when thu eccptre Ia about to pass to new
hands. Orators with more passion than
sense. and more ambition than honesty, are
figuring before the public, and agitating the
masses with Wild talk about Reputllcanlsm
and social rights which they do not under
stand. The Queen Is said to be dementcd,
and JACK CADE and JACK kETcH say that
they don't intend to be governed by
monarch any loDger-particularly the
Prince OF Wales. If the Prince could COPY
CHARLES the Second, and get these blatant
politicians into frolic, he would win them
over and make them his henchmen. They
want little sop and large amount of
soft-soap and water.
In this country the patent Republican
newspapers, at the head of which stands
, the New York Tribune, are cutting quite
caper. They jump about at the pros

What will be their fate in England
We shall see. They may bring on riot and
blood and war. England may be plunged
Into the horrors of civil strife but what
will be gained thereby! We may safely
prophecy-nothing!
We are disguised at the conduct of the
seli-Styled advocates of Republicanism In
this country In their comments upon the
! politics Of other lands. They denounce
expressions elsewhere that are not at al
equal In harshness and injustice to those
prac.iced by our own Government upon oul
people, and they riot with joy in the anti.
clpation OF tho commotion and bloodsheG
which are to flow from resistance to Cd
pressions in no sense equal to those inflict
ed In this country upon the people by the
Government they support and which bear

1t bears it at all, and certainly none othe,

Of the fanatics such as GREELEY. And |
England is asltated to her foundations
and oceans of blood shall submerge he
soil, the end will be arbitrary authority
The men who will bring on the eonvulsio,

In mercy, will send the man and the power
to preserve peace and settle down tht
State into order aud safety. ,.

thority In England at the mercy OF the
ferocious Republicans who draw their les.
sons from the halfcrazy and wholly mer-
cenary philosophers Of the continent.
