With this issue, the undersigned
sever their editorial connection with
the AMERICAN CITIZEN. Circum-
stances, over which the publisher
could exercise no control, have ne
cessitated change of ownership
and of politics. That we deeply
regret this necessity, all who are
familiar with orr anteccdentS and
our devotion to the principles of
conservatism, must freely admit.
During our connection with the
CITIZEN it has been our sole aim
and desire to maintain the princi-
p'es it had so long aud SO consist
emily advocated; to preserve its
high standard of taste and dignity,
and render it a welcome and agree
able visitor in the circles of virtue
and refinement. How far our efforts
have succeeded, it does not become
us to say.
The only consolation we could
possibly have in this change, Is
found in the fact that the Republi
can Publishing Company to which
the paper has been sold, is compos
ed Of a high type of Northern gen
tlemen, who will neither cOmpro
mise its dignity or lessen its char
acter, by making it the medium %
personal invective or political bi,
lingsgate.
To those editors who have kindly
noticed our connection with the pa
per, and whose approval of oul
course has been manifested in til,
most pleasing and flattering man
ner known to journalism, we desire
to convey a sincere expression O
heartfelt thanks.
We would be doing injustice t.
our own feelings, and wrong a mos
worthy and upright young gentle
Man, were we to withhold tribut'
of grateful thanks from the foreman

WRONG MEN Ar TIRE FRONT.

To the thoughtful patriot there is
something perplexing and alarming
il the political outlook of our ma
tional affairs. An amazing amount
Of discOrdant clemens, moral, So
clal and political, prevails among
the various party organizations of
our land and country. Radicals are
not in full accord, the Conserva-
tives are distrustful, the Liberals
are not in perfect harmony-a!l are
divided, Democrats and Repubii-
cans, whites and blacks. Indeed,
it really seems that the efforts en-
ploy ed to bring about unity in eth, r
of the dominant parties, only result
in 1cOnfuSion worse COMPOUNDED"
1t ia evident that one of the most
essential forces OF Republican gov
ernment-the force of cohesion-is,
to deplOFab}e degree, wanting
among our people. What led to
this condition of things9 How
may we account for the dishearten-
ing, bewildering Babelism that
characterizes the politics of this
vast commonwealth? The cause,
we imagine, lies deeper than that to
which ordinary observation reach
eth. We believe it lies in the fact
that the majority of the leaders,
men who control the destinies Of
this great natfOn-are avowed inf.
dels and practical atheists-men
who seldom take the name of God
on their lips but to protane it Il
sensuality and bitterness; wnt
never make mention OF divine prov
idence but to laugh it to scorn
who never point at the services OF
religion and the doctrines of chris
tianity but with the finger of con
tempt. When such men sway pub
lie opinion, direct the machinery OF
government, and are the chosen
representatives of any people, We
may ever expect to see not only con
fusion, but its logical resuli-de,
structiOn-visited upon that people.
So certain as there is IL God, so Ger
tain He overrules in human affairs;
and men who presume toexalt them
selves against Him, and would rule
among the people, not i'll subordi-
nation to Him, but in mocking dis
regard of the supremacy of His
will, and in gneering derision of the
purposes of His government, are
ever brought to naught, either by

A Georgia paper describes a
Southern beauty as follows:
among the many visitors who
came to our city or Saturday last
to sell their country produce, was
a young lady from an adjoining
county, who had chickens. eggs and
butter for sale. Her beauty was of
,ranscendant excellence. Bright,
flashing, intellectual eyes, and face
round and rosy, while her calico
dress was plain and neatly made,
and fitted beautifully. Her rich
black hair flowed in luXuriant rich
ness. Highly educated, she con
versed nuently, and deported her
self with becoming modesty. She
wore no false bus!ie or purchased
complexion had no top-not On the
top of her head, or false fiXings to
present, but stood in the majestic
beauty of a created Intelligence
that would not yield to the despotic
| dictates of frivolous fashion. 1t
has been a long time since we gaZe,i
upon such a sight. The young men
crowded around her wagon with Gu
rioSity in their eyes and admiration
/ in their hearts. The Old men wept
| for JOY that there was one that had
not bowed to Baai. She sold hen
rough country produce, went home,

The COMierJOaraal has this to
say of the Cars recent visit to
London:
When it was stated, in the Ge-
scriptiops of the preparations made
in England for the reception Of the
Gar, that the State bed made eX.
pressly for his use had been taken
down because he brought his own
bed with lin, people wondered at
srch an exhibition of Imperial &c
centrici'y. They had it in London,
before his departure, however, that
the reason for this strange fancy
was that he was afraid th,t he
mi ut be tumbied into arsenicated
sheets. This was not the only in
dIcaiIon that his crowned head rest
ed with great uneaSineSs, for 1t is
reported that even whil,. iii Buck
in2huH Palace his bed chamber WAS
guarded by two faithful CoSsack7s
enc of whom slept Just outside and
the other Just inside the door. The
aSsasSlnated haunted Emperor OF
AL the RuSsIas must have been not
u little surprised at the freedom
with which his Royal iiighuess the
Pence OF Wales loated about the
city of London and attended all the
