many,4 our friends. privately. !When the
010eysfone Stategave way before the wave
of sectionalism, in the eledtion of Mr. Cowls
•
we had - nOlonget any well grounded hope of
auf - NOrthern State presenting a barrier of
silr!ciont strength to arrest the tide. Cense
quiintly are'not surprised at the result in
New York, nor in any of the other non
slaveholdinK States. .
• Mr. LINCOLN is elected to the Presidency .
by the votes of Northern States alone—not
a" 'Solitary , electoral vote having been east
or him - in the ftfteen slaveholding States of
the Confederacy. - This result will be a severe
test of the strength of the Union, and if it
shall survive the storm which, in all likeli
hood, will follow the inauguration of the newly
elected President, we shall have no fears of
its stability in the future. A majority of the
people north of Mason and Dixon's line have
willEtidAhat Mr. LINCOLN' shall be Chief Ifagis
-Irate of the Nation, and we bow to their
decision. He should have a fair trial, and no
facitioUs impediments should be thrown in his
way. He will now occupy a different position
from what he did before the election, and he
may be disposed, from necessity, to pursue
such a course as will have a tendency to calm
the perturbed elements of strife, and admin
ister the high duties of his office for the good
of the whole country. We sincerely hope
that this may be his determination, and that,
from choice, he will out loose from such men
as SEWARD, GIDDINGS, BURLINGAME, etc., etc.
Should he do so, he may save and perpetuate
the Union, and confer innumerable blessings
upon his country and posterity ; but should
his course be otherwise, there is no telling
what evils are in store for the country.
For the last ten or twelve years the Nation
has been more or less excited and distracted
about slavery, and the agitation of this ques
tion has now reached its culmination in the
election of a sectional President by a minority
of the votes of the United States. There is,
however, one redeeming feature in the result,
and that is the defeat of PENNINGTON in New
Jersey, the present Republican Speaker of
the U. S. House of Representatives, and of
that notorious infidel Republican, BORLIN•
GAME, in Massachusetts. These, with the
other gains in Pennsylvania, Ohio and New
York, will give the Democrats the control of
Congress. Mr. Luicots will, therefore, enter
upon his Presidential duties with both
branches of Congress against him, and this
fact, will render his administration powerless
for evil. And so far as his appointments are
concerned, he will have to make good and
unobjectionable ones, or the Senate will never
confirm them. Thus, he will be check mated
at the start, and the SEWARDS and SCULLIN . -
GAMES and GIDDINGS' and GREELEYS, and the
rest of the nelperite tribe, will have to stand
back and let more moderate men take their
places. Under these circumstances we think
there need be no serious ground of apprehen
sion for the stability of the Union. The
National men of the country have both houses
of Congress and the Supreme Court, and these
two co ordinate branches of the Government
will take care that the Republic shall suffer
no detriment from the hands of a sectional
Exeoutive. These are considerations which
we think will determine our Southern friends
to stay in the Union, and contend for their
Constitutional rights under the broad aegis of
the confederated Republic. In doing so they
will have the active sympathies of hundreds
of thousands of good and true men in the
Northern States.
L'ANCASTER
The official vote of the City is as follows
Rep. Reg. Bern
N. E. Ward 334 190 68 46
N. W. Ward 375 338 42 87
S. E. Ward 284 140 77 72
S. W. Ward 245 271 34 48
Total 1238
From the above it will be perceived that
while LINCOLN leads the Regular Democratic
ticket 299 votes in the City, he is in a minority
of 175 votes—as the combined vote on the
three opposing tickets amounting to 1413, will
show. All things considered, therefore, to
gether with the fact that some two or three
hundred Democrats remained at home and
declined voting, the City did quite as well as
could have been expected, and indeed much
better than most of our friends anticipated.
The result was a great disappointment to the
Republicans, as they confidently expected and
boasted that they would carry the City by a
clear majority of from 2 to 300.
BRIGHT SPOTS :
Under all the adverse circumstances by
which we were surrounded, the Democracy
of Lancaster county did as well on Tuesday
as could have been expected, and in several
distriots much better. In the Maytown
district, for instance, LINCOLN'S majority is
only 14, whilst in October the majority for
CURTIN was 30 I And in Colerain, the Read
ing ticket has' a majority of 49, or nearly
the same that Gen. FOSTER bad. Several of
the other districts also did remarkably well,
but it is unnecessary to particularize, as the
official table will show what was done through
out the county.

The defeat. of Bumairasirs, the_author .of
the infamomily infidel imp' treasouable • Sand;
ment that " the times demand, and we must
have an anti slavery Constit'ution, an anti.
slavery Bible, and arkariti-slavery - God," is a
sore blow to the Republicss of this City
whose idol he is, and detractii no little from
their joy at the.eleotion of LINCOLN. He has
been,_ for years, one of their favorite orators
and great guns, brought her 'on the- eve of
every annual election, and introduced to the
audience, with a nourish of trumpets, as one
of the " burning and shining 'lights" of their
pirty. His defeat, therefore, bas , had a crush
ing effect upon the hilarity of..aur Republican
opponents, and when the new` s reached here
on Tuesday night it acted like a wet blanket
thrown around their shoulders, instantly pool
ing their ardor and enthusiasin. At the same
time, his defeat has been the siThject of general
rejoicing on the part of our Democratic friends,
and is, to some extent, an offset to their regrets
at the election of LINCOLN ; the more so, too,
as BURLINGAME'S defeat was entirely WlSE
peete4, whereas their mindsj were fully pre
pared for the remit of the Presidential election.
Both branches of Congress•'will be against
Mr. lawom—consequently he will be power
less for evil, so far as the, legislation of the
country is concerned. And evSn in the matter
of appointments to office, he twill be necessi
tated to select unobjectionable men, or the
Senate will refuse to confirm them.
Mr. larreqs will be a minprity President,
and his situation will be very similar to that
of JOHN QUINCY ADAms, whi) had to worry
out his four years in the Presidential chair
without being able to carry, a! single •measure
of his administration through Congress.
So far as the Republicans) are concerned,
they have placed merely a bafrren sceptre in
the hands of their Chief, and the American
people, in the election of Congressmen, have
decided against the ultra measures advocated
by Mr. LINCOLN and his leading supporters.
This is a strange state of thirigs—the election
of a President by one party, and the election
of a majority of Congress by the opposite
party—and this, we believ ! , is the first
instance in our history when t occurred. It
is true, JonN QUINCY ADAMS had to contend
with a hostile Congress ; but that gentleman
was not, like Mr. LINCOLN, elevated to the
Presidency by a vote of the people. He was
elected by Congress, in opposition to the
expressed will of a majority! of the voters—
hence his ease differs materially from Mr.
LINCOLN'S, who goes into poirer by a direct
vote of the masses, although, that vote does
not constitute a majority of all the people of
the Union.
Mr. LINCOLN'S hands are therefore, tied
and he is rendered powerless for evil. Wha
he will attempt to do, time will determine.
The latest news from So th Carolina and
the Cotton States seem to indicate that that
State is in earnest about seceding from the
Union. In Charleston Harbcir, a bark belong
ing to the Cushings, of Boston, had hoisted
the Palmetto flag, and saluted it with fifteen
guns. In New Orleans an effort was being
made to organize a band of minute men. A
company of volunteers in Virginia have ten
dered their services to South Carolina, in the
event of secession. The legislature of the
letter State has.,determined on immediate
secession, and rejected prcipositions of co
operation with other States, which were made.
The Attorney General, Collector and other
federal officers have tendered their resigna
tions to Mr. Buchanan. A message has also
been sent by the Governor ok' Georgia to the
legislature recommending a Course of retalia
tory legislation against " unfriendly" States
in the North.

The above news appears as though South
Carolina was in earnest 'in ,her disunion de
signs; but on "sober second thought" we doubt
if any thing of the kind will be done or at
tempted. We regard the threat as proceeding
from clamorous politicians, B i nd not as repre
senting the thinking people'of the State.
• The interests of the South are in the Union,

and the most fatal step she.c uld make for her
own welfare would be in oarr
in out the plan
of -disunion now being mapp d out.
PENNINGTON DEFEATED I

Mr. PENNINGTON, of New ersey,•the Black

THE SECESSION MOVEMENT.
Our advices froni_the Southern States, says
the N. Y. Journal of Commerce, particularly
those in which the disunion sentiment , has
been strongest and most freely expressed,
show that, the excitement attending the an
nouncement of Lincoln's election was quite
intense, and that in some quarters at least
the idea of instant, immediate secession has
taken a strong hold upon the public mind.—
How far this idea will pervade the South is
a question of deep concern at the present
time, and one.upon the solution of which the
future of the country largely depends. Had
the election of Lincoln to the Presidency
been accompanied by the choice of a Repub
lican Congress, as Southern men had justly
been led to anticipate, and the whole power
of the Government, in its, Executive and
Legislative branches, thrown into the hands
of the sectionalists, a resort to extreme meas
ures would not have been surprising. But
the naked triumph of the Republican party
on the Presidential question, shorn of the
strength, power and moral influence which
a complete victory would have given them, is
not an occurrence so alarming as to justify
haste in the action which the Southern States
may feel•called upon to take.
ELECTION OF PRESIDENTS
Since the adoption of the Constitution, we
have had eighteen Presidential elections, but
in no instance before has a President been
chosen by the Northern or Southern States
exclusively. The following table shows what
number of Northern and what number of
Southern States have voted for each of the
successful candidates at each election :
Year. Candidates. N. S. S. S.
1788. Washington, 5 5
1792. Washington, 8 7
1796. Adams, 7 2
1800. Jefferson, 2 7
1804. Jefferson, 8 7
1808. Madison, 5 7
1812. Madison, 3 8
1816. Monroe, 8 8
1820. Monroe, 12 12
1824. Adams, 7- 2
1828. Jackson, . 5 10
1832. Jackson, 8 8
1836. Van Buren, 8 7
1840. Harrison, 10 8
1844. Polk, 7 8
1848. Taylor, 7 8
1852. Pierce, 14 13
1856. Buchanan; 8 14
No successful candidate except John Quincy
Adams ever received less than a majority of
all the States of the Union at the time of a
given election, and it should be remembered
that he was not chosen by the people, but by
the House.
A. RIGHTEOUS SENTENCE
BYERLY, the scoundrel who produced the
forged return defeating LEHMAN, (Dem.) in the
First Congressional District, Philadelphia,
has been convicted of the offence before Judge
Thompson, and sentenced to 2.1 years imprison •
meat and to pay a fine of $3OO. He is also
deprived, from henceforth, of the privileges
of citizenship, under the Act of Assembly.
The question ricivr, arises what will Jon
M. BUTLER, (Rep.) who, as hai been estab
lished before•a Court and Jury, holds an
illegal certificate of election, do ? Will he be
so lost to all sense of justice and honor, as 'to
consent to hold a certificate proved to have
been obtained through fraud, or will he, as
an honorable man should do, yield it up to
Mr. Dulex, _who is fairly and legitimately
entitled thereto? We shall see.
NEGRO SUFFRAGE TO BE TESTED IN CON
GRESS.—In the Sixteenth Congressional Die
trict of Ohio, Cutler, Republican, was elected
by sixty-four majority over Jewett, Democrat.
In a large number of preciticts negroes . voted
the Republican ticket, and in consequenoe the
Democratic candidate was defeated. The
Marietta Rgmblican gives the number of
'Degrees voting in
.several precincts—enough
to decide the result—and intimates that the
election will be contested. As the Constitu
tion-of .the State provides that no one shall
vote if he is not a white citizen of the United
States, all persons of negro blood aredisquali
fied from voting. This is a plabiproposition,

Legislature from this county, serving in both branches,
and was appointed an Associate Judge by Gov. Porter ih
1841, occupying the, position until 1851, when an election

DEATH OF GENERAL - GlrAßKE.—Lient. Gen •
eral Scott, General-in Chief of the army,' in
announcing to the army the death of Briga
dier-General Newuun S. Clarke, Colonel of
the 6th Infantry, who died on the 17th ult., at
San Francisco, while exercising the important
command of the department of California,
says:
Gen. Clarke entered the army as an ensign
of the 11th infantry, March 14, 1812, and
served with distinction during the second war
with Great Britain; He'performed the duties
of 'Brigade Major in the campaign of 1814;
and, for his gallantry and good conduct in the
battle of Niagara, he received the rank of
Captain by brevet. Continuing in the army
after the peace, his subsequent services have
hien always meritorious and ,in war distin—
&shed. During the campaign from Vera
'Cruz to the capital of Mexico he commanded
a brigade, which, led by him, performed gal—
lant and effective service in the work of the
campaign.
Breveted a Brigadier General for his ser—
vices in Mexico, General Clarke has since been
employed upon high duties, and while com—
manding our whole Pacific coast, by his ability
and good judgment, he cincertod a plan of
campaign against combined tribes of Indians
in Oregon and Washington territory, which,
happily executed under his instructions,
promptly reduced the enemy to submission.
IMPORTANT CONCESSIONS
The new charter granted to Hungary by
the Emperor of Austria accords to it a Court
of Chancery—the Chancellor to be a member
of the Ministry of the country. Other grants
of representation are made.
The Hungarian diet will be convoked with
out delay, and the Emperor will then be
crowned King of Hungary. Similar Consti
tutional institutions will be granted to Tran—
sylvania. General Benedek has been appointed
Commander-in-chief of the army in Italy.
The charter granted to Hungary by the
Emperor of Austria was favorably received.
By this grant of the Emperor, the numbers
of members of the Reichsrath will be increas
ed to a hundred, by the Councillors elected
by the Provincial Diets, and the Hungarian
.language is to be the official language, and all
financial matters are to be subject to the
approval of the Reichsrath. The university
of Peeth is to be reopened. The abolition of
the system of personal service due to land
lords, and the exemption of nobles from taxes
is confirmed. Representation is to be accorded
to all classes.
WAR VESSELS TO BE ALTERED INTO STEAM
ERs.—The Board appointed by the Secretary
of the Navy, to examine what ships of the
navy may be converted into steamers, report
they have found it inexpedient, owing to their
small capacity and various other considera—
tions, to recommend any but the following
line of battle ships : Pennsylvania, Colum—
bus, Ohio, North Carolina, Alabama, Virginia
and Ne‘York. The other two, the Delaware
and New Orleans, are unfit, both in frame
and planking, for this alteration. The entire
cost of converting. these ships, according to
their estimate, will be three millions and
sixty four thousand dollars—about ope:half
the cost of steam frigates of the Michigan
class.

For his cool intrepidity on that occasion he received the

colors and won honors for his native State. Pennsylvania
has reason to feel proud of his exploitras one of her sons.
Subsequently, Capt. Stilton fought at Buena Vista, where
the troops of the 'Milted States were commanded by thin.
Taylor. In: the desperate engagement which took place on ,
;that eneangnined battle field, Capt. P. was in the thickest
of the fight, and his clarion voice was often heard calling
upon his comrades to rally to the rescue. He did noble
execution against the Mexican soldiery, and his unerring
rifle made many 'a redcoat Lancer fall dead from his
prancing steed. His steady nerve as a marksman and in-
domitable courage was thetheme of praise °nail aides. It
won for him golden opinions from his commanding officers

FOREIGN NEWS.
The latest news from Europe are to the
effect, that the Russian Embassy had quitted
Turin. No particulars are given; but the
diplomatic rupture is caused by the invasion
of Neapolitan territory, by Sardinia. There
was also a report that the Sardinian Embas—
eador at •St. Petersburg hid received his
passports. The departure of the Papal
Nuncio from Paris is also announced, and the
event is looked upon as the forerunner of the
Pope's quitting Rome. In other respects
Italian affairs remained generally unchanged.
A corps armee of 15,000 Piedmontese is
said to have reached Naples.. According to
the Paris Patric, Garibaldi, as soon as the
annexation of the Two Sicilies to Sardinia
has been proclaimed, will resign all political
authority and assume the title and duties of
the Comtnander in.ehief of the land and sea
forces of Southern Italy. Queen Victoria and
her suite had returned to England from
Germany.
A correspondent at Shanghai furnishes us
with interesting details of Chinese news to
the 18th of Atigust. The Allied fleet anchor
ed a few miles from the mouth of the Pei ho
on the 30th of July, and the debarkation
commenced on the Ist of August—the French
securing the honor of first landing by Jump
ing into the water and wading ashore. The
forte of the Peh-tang Village,, having been
previously abandoned by the . Chinese, .were
occupied by the Allies next day. The posi—
tion of the Chinese on the Pei ho River is
represented to be a very strong one, and, in
addition to these fortifications, they have two
bodies of troops, one numbering 40,000, and
the other from 40,000 to 50,000. It was
expected that the attack would certainly be
made on the 12th or 13th ; as a longer delay
might result in a great deal of sickness, from
the malaria of the marshes. Mr. Ward, our
Minister, was with the Allied fleet, as was
our entire naval force on the station.
HOW A SCOUNDREL RAISED THE
WIND---A PIECE OF FORGERY---
NEWARK SHOE .AND LEATHER
DEALERS SUFFER TO THE TUNE
OF 52,800.
The Easton Express, of Oct. 30th, says:
On the 18th of August last, " F. Smith and
lady," as the Register of the United States
Hotel tells us, came to town and took rooms
at the hostelry named. Mr. Smith was about
40 years of age, of very genteel address and
appearance, while his wife was comely and
apparently respectable. Mr. and Mrs. S.
brought with them two children, and the
party together formed a family group by no
means uninteresting. They came "from the
South," as the father and mother informed
inquirers, and Mr. S. had some idea, could
he find a suitable stand, of opening a large
shoe and leather establishment in town. The
gentleman had plenty of money and paid his
bills promptly. One day, some time after his
arrival, Mr. Smith paid a visit to Mr. Ehret,
farmer in Lehigh township, this county, and
purchased some land from him. Entering
very familiarly into conversation with Mr.
Ehret, he managed to find out his circum
stances, as well as to learn how he spelled his
name and what was the style of his writing,
after which he left, leaving behind him in the
bosom of the farmer no suspicions of his
honesty. How begot to Ehret'e place we do
not know, but that he pumped that enticznan
well and proved himself a most infamous
scoundrel by his doings after hie visit to the
farmer, all must admit With the information
he had gained by his call on the farmer, be
started for Easton, where he employed a law.
yer to draw up a mortgage for $3500 on the
property of Adam Ehret. He then took the
writing; forged the signature of Mr. Ehret
and added it to it, had the mortgage acknowl
'edged before Ebenezer Hance, a Bucks county
Justice of the Peace, and then entered it at the
Recorder's office, in town, after which he
proceeded to Newark, N. J., and made an
assignment of the mortgage to Messrs. S. S.
Blauvelt, Ebenezer C., and E. C. Aber, of
that city, for $2BOO worth of shoes and leath.
I I
er. Smith took the mortgage to the Recorder's
office on the 19th of September, assigned it
on the 22d, and the assignment was entered
at the office on the 24th by the above named
Newark gentlemen, one or more of whom
came here accompanied by a lawyer, to see
that all was right in regard to the matter.—
The leather dealers were satisfied with their
bargain after examining at the Recorder's
office; no suspicion whatever rested on the
mind of the Recorder, or any one else who
knew of the transaction, and so Mr. Smith
slipped away with his stock of goods. Early
in October, Smith Wrote from Harrisburg,
to the firm that he had got his stock of shoes
and leather off, stating that he had not been
able to get the"store in that place that he
expected to, and that he had now determined
to push on to New. Orleans and open there.
This excited.suspicion in the Newarkers, who.
coming on here and visiting Mr. Ehret in
Lehigh township, discovered that the eigtia
tare to the mortgage they had received was
forged, and that . they had been very nicely
swindled by that scamp, the papers they held
being not worth' a-cent. - Smith's letter to
Newark, to inform the Messrs. Blauvelt,
Aber 41. Co., that he was going to New Or
leans, was of course a mere ruse, for the
purpose of throwing those gentlemen off the
track of the swindler.
Smith sold some of his leather in town, and
before this he has doubtless disposed of the
whole stock and is now enjoying the: fruits of
his infamous labor. The Messrs. Aber & Co.,
are in pursuit of him, we believe, and it is to
be hoped they may bring him to justice.

THE PRINCE OF WALES AT THE
TONE OF. IyASHIAOTON. •
History recordifi, feir Emetics more pregnant
with instruction; : ` than -the 'visit of bomagri
paid by the Prince of WaleB to the tomb of
Washington.; Eighty five years ago the man
who ventured to predict that before a century
shcitildhaiirolled by the heir to the British
Crown:would nevi voluntary tribute of rev
erence? to
,f ! lie, feet_ testing place of the arch
rehet who Itr,iui then biddint bold defiance to
our anti* would have been indebted to
his 'condemnation as a maniac for his - escape
from condign punishment as a traitor.—
The despot and his myrmidons fancied in those
days, that the world was made_ for their
exclusive enjoyment, and that it needed but
an effort of their will to bend its destinies
accurding to their selfish fancy. They might,
have, imagined that some unexampled good
fortune might have secured for the remains of
I the insurgent general the shelter of an un
known_grave;. could they have_ had their way,
his bones would have bleached and rattled in
chains mien the loftiedt gallows.
How would the obstinate and wrong headed
old monarch have greeted the prophecy that
his own great grandson would stand with Un
covered head before the Sarcophagus which the
mouldering dust of the great rebel has eon
vetted into a holy shrine? What expressions
of incredulous contempt would be have deemed
strong enough to give utterance to his feelings
if any one had dared to foretell that the
federal provinces which had revolted against
his rule would, almost in the space of a single
generation, grow into a mighty nation, rival
ling the mother country .in all the arts of
peace ? . To the men of those comparatively
recent. times such presages would have seemed
mere idle raving ; yet how brief a space of
time hue sufficed to' convert them into mere
statements of' familiar truths.
When the noblest hero who had ever sprung,
up among men buckled on the sword with
which he had vowed to conquer his country's
freedom, he took the field as the champion of
a comparatively feeble brotherhood of strug—
gling colonies; in the ordinary course of
nature his son might now be alive, yet al.
ready has the emancipated dependency grown
into . the foremost of modern empires, and
receives as its guest the heir to the English
throne. Is there not in this, encouragement
for faltering patriots, whose hopes, long
deferred, are clouded by that heart sickness
which is often the forerunner of despair?—
All noble aspirations after liberty may not
be destined to receive equally speedy satis•
faction ; but for the persistent soldier of free—
dom the victory, though it may be slow, is
sure.
The Prince of Wales, in bowing before the
tomb of TVashington„ makes silent confession
that the day of autocrats is at an end, for the
man to whose ashes he does homage was the
living incarnation of the truth that the will of
the people is the only rightful source of power.
We are quite conscious that such outward
manifestations of respect for great principles
are not always followed by consistent actions.
Kings have before now preluded atrocious
crimes by solemn acts of devotion, just
as Italian brigands tell their beads before
they murder the wayfarer to secure his paltry
store of gold. But still we venture to cherish
the hope that our young Prince will bring away
with him from the spot which derives from the
presence of the dust of Washington a conse—
cration more sublime than could have been
conferred upon it by ecclesiastical rituals,
some enduring impressions, whose influence
will be perceptible throughout his future career.
The sovereign of these kingdoms is, it is
true, politically powerless, according to the
theory of the constitution ; but, practically,
the wearer of the crown wields a potent
influence for good. or ill. If England, under
Victoria, has witnessed a growth of social
morality, which places it in noble contrast
with England under George the Fourth, the
change though attributable in some measure,
no doubt, to the spread of enlightenment and
the march of human progress, is also to be
ascribed in no slight degree, to the fact that
a God fearing and virtuous woman sits upon
the throne which was disgraced by a bloated
libertine. In the same manner the popular
sympathies of the head of the State might
legitimately exercise a wholesome influence
upon the tendencies of our legislation, and
approximate the advent of that complete
political equality, without which there can
exist but a shadow of freedom.
The tour of the Prince of Wales in the
United States will have placed him in posses
sion of an unfailing antidote to the monstrous
fallacies with regard to the effect of Demo
cratic institutions which are clung to with so
much pertinacity in the aristocratic circles in
which those of the Blood Royal move. He
has not only bad his own eyes opened, but
he has gained the means of convincing the
few honest noodles who cling to such opinions
through ignorance, and, of silencing the host
of crafty politicians who, knowing their
rotteness profess them, to serve their own
selfish ends. He has been in a land where
the two grand bugbears of the English aristoc
racy—manho xi suffrage and the ballot—exist
in full operation, not as experimental novelties,
but as tried and approved portions of the
the electoral organization.
He will be able, and, as an honorable
English gentleman, we trust he will be willing
to bear his testimony that the extension of
the franchise does not produce anarchy, and
that secret voting does not lead either to whole•
sale bribery or to utter political demoralize
tion. He has dwelt in a land where no State
church lays violent hands on the money of
conscientious dissenters in order to swell the
incomes of its ministers, but each man is free
to give his:voluntary support to the teachers
of the creed which represents his own convic
tions. If he be candid he will own that
under such an organization religion flourishes
in full vigor, and finds no check to the full
development of its wholesome influence on
human conduct. A tory minister would find
himself sorely nonplussed in his conference
with a King whose mind has been enlightened
by the fruits of his own personal observation.
Moreover, the Prince of Wales has acquired
some good habits which he would never have
-learned at home, and which we trust he will
not be induced to lay aside when be returns e
to his native land. In the United States he
has mingled on a footing of perfect equality
with merchants, and bankers, and literary
and professional men. Can it be imagined
for a moment that he will offer a gratuitous
insult to his own countrymen of the same
classes by intimating to them that he deems
them unworthy of the intercourse which he
has vouchsafed to their Transatlantic cousins?
We can easily imagine how refreshing it must
have been to our heir apparent, to escape
- from the wearisome society of high, born
inanity and find himself face to face.with
genuine unsophisticated men ; and we fer
vently trust that( no lack of courage. will
induce him to hesitate to secure for himself
at home so fruitful a source of pleasure.
Once break down the antiquated barriers
which shut out from courtly circles men who
have earned distinction in any honorable
calling, and a blow of incalculable importance
will have been struck in the cause of rational
liberty. To the worshippers of time 'worn
abuses such an achievement may appear im
possible; would not as much have been said
eighty five years ago of a visit of homage
to the' grave of the rebel general of the-
American colonists by the heir of 'the British
throne? Nor have we yet arrived at the end
of these marvels, which serve as milestones
on -the road of human progress. To day it is
a Prince of Wales standing reverently uncov
ered before the mausoleum of Washington ;
a century hence it will be an Emperor—or
perchance an Archduke—of Austria making
a pilgrimage to Rome and paying his tribute
of 'veneration to the tombs of Garibaldi and
Mazzini, beneath - the dome of St. Peter's,
and then hastening to the old. Cathedral of
Buda to do homage to the grave of Kossuth.
