The REPUBLICAN PARTY AS 1T 1s.-Hon. John Quincy Adams, in recent letter, accep- ting the Democratic nomination of Governor of Massachusetts, makes the following peril nent comments upon the condition and claims of the Republican party. He says: The only real claim of the Republican par ty, of late, to public confidence, is by parade of trophies. Without head, OF system, or prin- ciples, it is held together only by the life of decay-corruption. Its system of taxation is the most burdensome and the least democratic in the world; its currency is the robbery of the poor, while its vaunted reduction of the debt has only been accomplished by cruel taxa ton, which doubles the burden by taking two dollars from the people for each dollar paid the public creditor This scheme of imposts is deliberately and craftily organized in the interests of associated capital alone, and is as certainly if not as pal pably, a violation of every principle of equal democratic government as was the cognate pol. icy of the same party, by which two hundred millions of acres of the peoples homestead lands have been given away to railroad corpo- rations. This eunningly devised scheme will this year take FIVE or six hundred millions of dollars from the people, and pay it over to the capitalists who own your mines and mills and furnaces and salt works, to alleviate their un- profitable labors, as certainly as if the tax was openly levied and the bounty avowedy paid. Under the same system our ocean shipping is broken up and our shipyards are closed, and the farming Land of New England no longer fetches the cost of the buildings upon it. And that its conspicuous merit in affording protec- ton to the American workman from the pau per labor of Europe may be apparent to the meanest capacity, almost the only article which it admits duty free is an unlimited supply of cheap Chinese, imported in lots to suit capital ists /"

Examination of the White Sulphur Springs Water The qualitative chemical examination of the White Sulphur Springs gave the following as its principal constituents: lst The Middlc North Spring of the Crescent: Free Sulphureted Hydrogen Suphuret of Sodium Ca trace); Sulphate of Magnesia Epson Salts); Sulphate of Soda (Glauber Salts); Chloride of Sodium Common salts); Sulphate of Lime (Gypsum). This is saline sul phurated water. The medl- cal properties will be mild, laxative, diuretc, anti scorbutic, and will have beneficial effect, partl- cularly on diseases of the skin, kidney and liver 3d. The Northeast Spring of the Crescent: This water differs from the other only in contain ing less sulphur, and perhaps trace of alkaline carbonates. It will have more of q laxative and duretc effect but have less effect the diseases of the skin and liver. 3d. The South Spring ot the Crescent: This water contains more saline water, i. e.

AASkh EAafkCLs Of the grain market in Finland the Marx Lane Express, of June 6, says: s With rair-clouds flying about in abund- anee at the commencement Of the past week, only few good showers have parti- ally fallen, and though these have refreshed the foliage and the grass, they have gone very little way into the soil. A rain o2 about forty-eight hours is still wanted, and our neighbors, the French, it seems, have had very similar weather, and show their increasing fears by the rise in their prices and demand on our stores. A consider able quantity of oats has again been taken on French account, and wheat, not so threatened there by the weather, has been relatively forced up till English prices have left sufficient margin for business In this grain also; indeed, medium quality California white has been taken for Havre at SIS q quarter, free on board, and No. 2 red American has been shipped for Ant werp, the ready transit making our mar kets more eligible than those more distant. There are still indications of rain, however, and should it come we may expect a little reaction, especially in spring corn. Yet oats have been so low, and our own stocks SO cleared out, that We cannot expect them to fall back to the extremely depressed prices from which they started. As it re- speets wheat, we take up this grain on the broad scale of deficient crop last year and probably short supplies from the Baltic. We have already reached the turning point, our last average being ASS i'd, against ass I'd in 1869. After touching 4Os Cd during the second week in March, we then held it q very possible thing that rates before har- vest might move upward 10s-they have about reached half way, and are still rising; so any rough weather or foreign casually might easily fill up the complement, and then there would be something better for the farmers without any pressure on the community. If France should keep out bidding us and buying too, the matter would be very easily attained, and the fact

AMONG all the cities of Italy suffering from famine and misery this winter Rome bears the heaviest burden. The trade of the city has declined sine the overthrow of the Pope's Government, and the taxes are hundred fold what they were !; they were almost nominal under the POpes, as the whole world contributed TO enrich the city. Large capitalists from Turin and Milan have monopolized what has been left of the trade once pO : sessed by Roman merchants.

Curious REvELATIoN.-A correspondent of a New York paper says that the London Morning Chronicle, which for several years has received q subsidy from the contingent fund of the French Embassy, at London in exchange for its devotion to the Emperor Napoleon, has at length been bought by the French Government, and at its head has been placed an American, whose devotion, under any and all circumstances to the people and the politics Of the Tuilleries is beyond ques- ton. This gentleman, who spends but part of his time in London, and the rest in Paris, is in daily communication, personally or 10y letter, with the Secretary of his Majesty at the Emperor's private bureau, and whether he thus obtains any important secrets of State or not he at least receives directions how to defend the Emperors interests The Chroni Gle is much improved under the new direc- tion, for without doubt the means placed at its disposal are unlimited.
