loyal manifestations Of loyal people with
which any prince, in modern or ancient times
has ever been welcomed from place to place.
But Notwithstanding all this, even the London
journalists have discovered that the great under
lying idea of manifest destiny" among these
loyal royal people, Of the Canadss especially,
Is their ultimate annexation to these United
States. The opportunity, the means and the
will for this may also come sooner than we are
now prepared to anticipate; for do we not live
in an age of the most surprising trarstorma-
tions from monarchical to popular institutions.


But it Is enough for our present pur-
poses that Mr.. Stewards zone idea OF
the peaceable extinction Of slavery in the
United States has now received new in
depreciation. The work is to be done by an
overwhelming Northern accumulation Of poll
tical power; and the eight new free States to
be ddded 10 the Union under Lincoln's admins
tration will be the prelude to this free CONT
mental programme of Mr.. Seward Spanish
America will do for our Stree colored Ameri
cans" Of the North who may prefer warmer
climate and for the surplus black population
of the slave States as they emerge into the pha-
lanx Of freedom. This whole scheme Of Mr..
Seward is consistent in all its parts with the
broadest craftsmanship of an antislavery en-
husiast.


But the material point in this continental
plan Of freedom is here. This new epoch Of
universal liberty begins with the election of
Mr.. Lincoln as our next President After his
election, should the Southern States agree to
swat little longer the issue Of revolution,
the programme of Mr. Seward will soon be on
the highway to ful6lment. But here lies the
point OF danger Against Mr.. Stewards scheme
Of an allabsorbing Northern free labor confe-
deracy, there is widely entertained Southern
scheme Of an independent slave labor confede.
racy, looking to the absorption Of Spanish
North America and the West India Islands as
its means of protection, military and CONNER
cial, against the North.


The election OF Mr. Lincoln, then, will inau
g,lrate q revolution and a new epoch in the
history Of this country and this continent. II
will practically decide the question of peace or
war, union or disunion, between universal
free labor confederacy and an independent
slave labor confederacy; and thus for the pre-
sent we leave the subject to the consideration
of our commercial interests of New York, who
hold In this momentous contest the balance OF
power in their hands.

AUTUMN YAcBTrSG.-We have heard nothing
Of late Of the autumn cruise Of the New York
Yacht Club, and as the season Is close upon us,

was inaugurated only last year; but II was then
so successful, and afforded 40 much satisfaction
to all who engaged In II, that we supposed 1t to
be the general desire that II should be made
permanent institution. OF course II Is not ex-
pected that the yachtsmen will encounter, at
this season Of the year, all the delightful asso

able to do among the aitting zephyrs Of spring
or summer Autumn Is also more preferable
than any other time in the year for those bril-
liant contests that have marked the history Of
the club, and which, Notwithstanding the brief
existence Of the organization, have given II a
worldwide renown as the centre Of the fastest
sailing yachts that at present Goat upon the
waters Of the globe. Aside from the benefit
and recreation resulting from an ocean sail Of
two or three weeks the fact that II keeps alive
the spirit of the sport ought to be sufficient
inducement to the owners of our handsome
yachts TO turn out strong upon an autumn
cruise. We are quite sure, from what b a.

following singular rumor.


We learn from constable Edwards of this

Utah told Mr.. Nichols of Columbia IIill on
Thursday, that Judge Terry, while on his
way back to California to stand trial for the
killing of Broderick, stopped at Carson city,
and there became engaged in game of cards
with George Lewis, formerly of Nevada.
The game ended in a quarrel which was ter
minated by Lewis shooting Terry SO that he
died This is the whole Of the rumor as it
reached us. We do not give it any credence,
though it may possibly be based on fact, and
would not publish it il the telegraph were in

here long before traveller could possibly
have ridden across the mountains with tidings
of it,

THE KING of Naples did not forget to pro-

$4,000 ducats, which was furnished him,
and he has been shipping bullion for some

departure is thus described by the CORES


pondent of the London Times: Somewhere
about dusk, just as the short-lved twilight
faded away, you could see the royal steamers
putting out to sea. Not flag was dropped;
not gun was fired; and not above fifty peo-

the vessel bearing the fugitive sovereign
passed away into the darkness. So ends the
reign of Frances II. and with it the first act

THE DELINQUENT LIsT.-An examination
of the delinquent list as published in the
JOURNAL, will convince the public, we think,
that there is something wrong in the modus
operandi of collecting taxes. 1t will be seen
by reference to the delinquents Of 81, 52, 50
and 1860, that large number of men pay
no taxes year after year. This should net be
suffered by those who have the finances of
the county in charge. 1t is the duty of all
men to pay their proportion towards the
support of the state aad county governments,
and if some will not do it voluntarily or by
the ordinary means should be dealt with in
more summary manner. A suit commenced
against each delinquent for taxes would
shorten our long and expensive tax lists, put
money in the treasury, besides doing justice
to those who pay their taxes willingly and
without delay. BY looking at the delin-
quent list, it will be seen there are four
columns devoted to those whoare habtually
delinquent. Most of those have property
which is good for the taxes, and should be
made to pay their quota towards the support
of government they enjoy in common with
all others We have not taken the trouble
to compute the amount due from these
delinquents but glance will tell as it is a
large sum.


Besides deprivug the county of large
share of her revenge, these delinquents i'm
pose a heacy burthen each year upon the Tax
Collectors in the way of copying, for which,
as they never pay, he receives nothing, and
the more years that elapse, the greater the
burthen becomes.


The remedy wich readily suggests itself is,
to pass the delinquent list into the hands of
the District Attorney on certain day in each
year and make it his duty to commence suit
against evry one on the list.-Nevada

Readers Of the HERALD in SteilacoOm were
cogniEant Of all that transpired in connection
with the late professional visit of Miss Susan
Robinson, and will therefore appreciate without
explanation the following wcll-written poem on
the subject; but an explanatory remark is ne.
eessary to enable readers elsewhere to under
stand it. 1t should be known, then, that our

Familiarity, among the truly well, bred,
never gives authority to trespass upon
one another in the most minute cir
cumstances but it allows US to be kinder
than we ought otherwise to presume to
be. Eusebius has humour and spirit ;
but there never was man in his COM

knows how to make use of it in way,
that neither makes himself or his friend
contemplate but if any one is lesscned
BY his freedom, it is he himself, who al
ways likes the place, the diet, and the
reception, when he is in the company of
his friends Equality is the life of con-
versation and he is as much out who
assumes to himself any part above auoth-
er, as he VINO considers himself below the
rest of the society. Familiarity in infe-
riors is sauciness j; in superio:s, condescen-
sion; neither of which are to have being
among companions, the very word imply
ING that they are to be equal. When,
therefore, we have distracted the com,
panv from all considerations of their quail
ity or fortune, it will Immediately appear,
that to make it happy and polite, there
must nothing be started which shall dis
cover that our thoughts run upon any
such distinctions. Hence it will arise,
that benevolence must become the rule
of society, and he that is most obligiug
must be most divertlng.


This way of talking | am fallen into
from the reflection that | am, wherever
go, entertained with some absurdty, mis-
take, weakness, or ill-luck Of some man
or ether, whom not only I, but the per.
son who makes me those relations, has 9
value for. 1t would therefore be great
benefit to the world, if it could be brought
to pass, that no story should be taking
one, but what was to the advantage Of
the person of whom it is related. BY
this means, he that is now wit in con

WIN. LLOYD GARRISON ON SLAVERY ONCE
MoRE.--Ata recent anti-slavery meeting, in
New York, VIM. Lloyd Garrison said: b


However diverse might be their opinions
in other respects he trusted there was hui
one opinion respecting the unchristian, dia-
bolcal system of American slavery. That
they were resolved to persevere until the
object of abolition was attained. He felt an
irrepressible desire to congratulate them on
the progress of the irrepressible conflict


Thank God even the Democratic party was
divided at last-he trusted never to be united


1t seemed the best indication of the success
of Abolitionist efforts. The party that cried
out against agitation was now divided geo.
graphically. The party that said discussion
should be stopped and anti-slavery put down,
was itself discussing the subject, and the
American Anti-Slavery Society might adj
journ tomorrow and the agitation would go
on. The society had continued its work,
and would go on, united by the simple bond
that the slave is a man and is entitled to his
freedom. If their platform had not been
occupied by the clergy it was not the socie-
ty's fault. Clergymen had always been in
vited to this free platform. They were here
to settle no other question but that of the
sinfulness of men having property in man.

ifillicit means to secure it had not been en-

were employed to traverse some of the dis
tricts, and to sell such goods as the peasants
desire at very low price, and then to assure
them that under the imperial government they
could always purchase them at these rates.
The priests, also, were instructed to use all
their influence to obtain full vote for an
nexation, and obstacles were thrown in the
way ofthe citizens who wished to oppose it.
Most of this latter class contented themselves
with abstaining from voting, us the opponents
Of the government in France generally do.
