If officers had been appointed and sent in

the resolutions and memorial disrespectful
or defiant ? Read them again, and see.
There is nota word or sentiment in them
that can fairly be construed to throw obsta
cles of any kind in the way of good mon
that might be appointed to rule over us ;
they simply expressed a ?diced determination
not to submit to the misrule of corrupt dem
agogues, who are a disgrace to tho Govern

proved, expended their time in endeavoring
to create a disturbance between us and the
General Government.
Cannot American citizens, upon American
soil, be heard in their own defence I can
they not petition the psrent Government
without incurring its hot displeasure ? Are

Astonishing Performance.
on the I :WI of January, at Windsor, Mr
J. S. Remy, from the United itates of Amer

r Majesty, she Prince Consort, and Royal
Family 'knit suite, in the riding house, his
miraculous Otter over the horse Several
animals were selected as sabjects of his
experiments. Ile COIIIIIICIICCIi with a wild
colt, eighteen months Ohl, belonging to the
Prince Consort, which %VAS brought from
Shaw Farm, and which had been selected
by Colonel Honorable A. N. Wood for the
occasion. After being alone with the AM
mat for about 1111 hour and a half, the royal
party entered, and found Mr. Rarey sitting
on his back, without holding the rein, the
horse,standing perfectly quiet. Marcy then
made a few remarks in regard to his great
experien.ie,in the treaiounnof this mihluan
iuial ; a drum was afterward a handed to
Mr. Rarey, which he beiT with fury whilst
,sitting on the horse's back, without the colt, '
exhibiting any signs of fear. Toe royal par
ty afterwards withdrew for a few minutes,
and on their return found the animal laying
down, and Mr. Rarey knocking his hind
legs together, one of which ho put *AMA
Ids face Afterwards a restive horse, se
lected•from Mr. Anderson's stables in Lon-.
don, which Rarey said he had before han
ditt, was placed at one end of the riding
house alone. Mr. Rarey went to the other
end, and at his command the horse walked
quietly up to hibi. Ile Om made the horse
lie down in the presoneetof theklueen, when
Mr.. Rarey-crawled between his - hind- lege,
and over him in various ways. Hr. - Rarey
then rolled the diem on his back. The hiirso
was afterwards placed in various positions,
in which it stood without hohling, and with
out a bridle. A third horse, soleated4y
Mr. Moyers, the riding master, as a very
nervous animal, was then brought in, and in
a feleminutes afterwards it was made by
•
Mr. Rarey to do all which hail been done by
the other horses. At lite conclusiqp of this
exhibition of Mr. Rarey's wonderful power
over the horse,. his Royal Highness the
Prince Consorts expressed to Mr. Rarey his
gratification - quid thanks. The secret has
been entrusted to Major General Richard
Airey, in confidence, who has pronounced
that there is,pothing in the treatment but

Nothing is so easily done as to prcnc)l mid

talk simply by example. And yet though
the former be useful, how much mole ulu

I those most beautiful essays OQ the cantina

mere human hopes. Men,may preach mid
