There. is neither point nor force in the..ap2l..
plication of the precept, that "Americans shall
rule America;" and-it only falls friTriftlie lips
.
of turbulent and base demag,ogues, as a cheat
to delude their gullible followers. Americans
always have, and always will rule America, so
Icing as our laws, National and State, retrain as
they are. So long as Alteelective franchise is
' extended to the poor as well as the rich—so
long as the doctrine of "no taxation without
representation," is asserted/and maintained—
_so long as religious tests are kept from our
statute books—and men are left free to wor-
ship. God acciirding . to the dictates of their
own consciences, with "none to molest or
make them afraid"—we need not tremble for
the subversion of our Jibe/riles, and Americana
will continue to rule America, through their
accredited agents chosen from all the walks of
life, and from all religious persuasions. But
if in an !tour of madness and folly, the people,
inflamed by their Sectarian prejudices and
bigotry, (the most dangerous foes to the peace
and tranquility of a State,) should introduce
the deadly Upas tree of Know-Nothingism
and religious proscription into the councils of
the natiow to overshadow the land, and blast
and wither the wholesome and pristine vigor
.ofuur institutions, from that moment .we may
,date the downfall of the Republic.—Penn

Political Preaching.
The Albany atlas bitterly attacks-the Rev. '
Washington Vanlandt, " who preached Clark
and Raymond instead of Chfist crucified, in the_
pulpit, the day before election."
But, adds the editor, he is not so bad "as the
preacher who traversed Schoharie county. pro
claiming that Gov. Seymour was a papist, and
had one of his daughters in a nunnery." The
story told from the pulpits of,Madison county
that Gov. S. kept a grocery up stairs in his
mansion, 'required the capacious maws of three
of the cloth to give utterance to.
Whereupon says the editor:
"Our adviceis, that when such men rise in
the pulpit, `and so far destroy its sacredness as
to denounce by namesuch menus Gov. Seymour
and other leading democrats, and to cast false
aspersions upon them, the democrats in the
congregationshould rise in theirseats, and, with
all the respect :due to the place, contradict the
falsehood.
4 'There is no other way than this: If the
church is- to be turned into a political meeting
room,: either let the congregation have notice,
so as to stay away, or let them have their full
right of debate and discussion, as well as the
stipendiaries of party, who throw out these po
litical challenges from the pulpit."
Qualification of Jurors;
In a criminal case now on trial in the United
States Circuit Court, Chief Justice Taney has
decided the following to be the proper quali
fications for a juror to try the issue : -
"If the juror has formed an'opinion that the
prisoners are guilty, and entertains that opin
ion now, without waiting to hear the testi
mony, then he is incompetent. But if, from
reading newspapers or hearing reports, he has
impressions on his mind unfavorable to the
prisoners, but has no opinion or prejudice
which•.will prevent him from doing impartial
justice when he hears the testimony, then he
is competent."
The general obseriance of this decision in
our courts, coming as it does from so high a
source, and as. legally correct as it is in ac
cordance with common sense, will have the
happiest effect in doing away with the chican
ery that in too many instances excludes men
of honesty and intelligence from the jury box.

ENGLISH WAR EXPENSES. --The whole cos t
LO iloghind during, the Continental war—from
'lO3 co 1815 inclusive—was L 1,159,729,250,
or
,somewhat about $5,798,645,280. This
gives an average, one year with another, of
fitty-three millions sterling per annum.
But in the later years of the contest the cost
was he.ivier, it rah thus.:

will be an immense sum there can be no ques

Craiious SURPRISE.--A SEVEN YEARs'
SLEEP.-A letter from San Francisco relates a
curious incident that occurred there recently.
Her Britannic Majesty's exploring ship Plover
arrived at San Francisco a short time since,
from the Polar Sea, where she had been ice
bound since 1847.
When she left San Francisco, seven yearsago,
it was a mere trading station. resorted to by
a few vessels in pursuit of hides, and the town
or place contained only a few abode: houses.
The captain and crew expected to find the same
San Francisco in 1854 that they left in 1847.
The captain, therefore; . sailed into the bay
without a pilot, and approached the city in
the - evening. He was much amazed at the nu
urertn" he saw. When he awoke from
his dream of seven years, the next morning. ho
foUnd a noble city_ occupying the site of the
andenl San - Francisco. He had knoWn nothing
of the Alexi war and cession of California to
the United; s, - and the many other great
events that a .taken place during the time he
had been locked. up in the frozen regions of the .
North.. l' , -
is stated that the monkies in the neigh
borhood-of Trinidad are (lying, in great num
bers, of cholera. Persons who have passed
through the woods report that hundreds are to
be seen tying - dead on the ground, where they
have fallen from the trees. It is said the same
thing was observed while the small pox epi
demic prevailed' 'in Trinidad, the monkies
dying of that disease in equally large num
bers.
Knhe Know Nothings had a ratification
meeting at Worcester, Mass., on MpAday eve
ning, the 20th ult. One..of the principal speak
ers was W. J. Watkins, a colored man, and
one of the editors of 4`red. Douglass' paper.
Ile stated that nearly' all the colored men in
the State voted ,the Know Nothing ticket.
That, says an exchange, fully accounts for the
extraordinary strength of the Order.
EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE.-At Cleve
land, Ohio, a few days since, a horse in the
stable of Mr. W. K. Adams, ran his tongue
through a crack in a partition between two
stalls. - It was caught by another horse, and
the first one drawing back, bit his own tongue
completely off. It was found in the manger of
the next stall. Probably such an accident
never before occurred and never will again.
SmALl.Pox..—This disease has almost as
sumed the form of an epidemic in some of the
cities. In Boston, last week,. the deaths by it
numbered fourreen, and in Cincinnati fifteen
victims fell by it during the same time.
