A - take the liberty of thinking you for the manly
`stand liana :Pima on the affaus of Kansas, and

It is about time it should stop.

fanaticism - Of anti-"slavery than I ought to have, I
believe. But I have not yet become so enamored
of the institution ofalavery as to sanction the most
barefaced -and impudent frauds on the popular
will to extend it into Kansas or elsewhere.
lithe principle • of popular sovereignty means
that an insignificant minority is to govern the ma
jority,-I have been laboring under a slight dein
sten. 'lf this, great principle is to be used, by a
mere fragment of the people of a Territory, to
forte slavery, or anything else, on the masses et
the people of that Territory, all I have to say is,
that the Democracy of the great North will soon be
reduced to a mere fragment of a party.
The prinelple of popular sovereignty is sound, in
every way.- But the practice of it must be honest.
As faith without works is dead, principle, how
ever sound, if not practised, is dead also
- The prinoiple is the sovereignty of the majority.
If the practise is to be the subjection of the ma
jority, the is not only deed, but is alive
again - en the other-side. The party that while
professing thief principle , sanctions , and maintains
ra• right, a practise' under the principle which
wholly-reverses it - and vibjitgatet the majority,
would not only bo despised by all honest men, but
would riehlydeserva to be despised. Such a party,
to be honest, should inscribe on its banners and
embody in Its platforms the doctrine of popular
subjection instead of sovereignty.
In my humble judgment, the only fair way of
settling the troubles in Hoofing, is for Congress to
reject the Constitution, and order, by an act of
Congress, a Convention' frame a Constitution.
Then all parties could and would meet on common
ground, and vote fOr"delegates, without any sacri
fice; of-party pride. Thus the question could be
fairly' and honorably settled, according to the
ranee -of the country in almost all each oases.
Why such a polio) , is not adopted by the Adminis
tration is what I cannot comprehend. It would
be a fair settlement, and no honest man, in Con
gress or out of Congress, North or South,could raise
his veto against it. •
I say,,thon, maintain your. position at every
hazard: The Democracy will be with you—all
honest men will be with you ; and if they are not,
or Were not Jobe, you would be right at any rate,
which, - after - all, -is' better than to have all men
- with vou.in the wrong.

Tee: /CORAS Cotintrrtriox;:-The bold, manly,
and independent course of the Philadelples Press
on the Kansas Conetitaitioni question, merits the
.I.LPprobation of every Member of the Democratic
party, in all sections of the Union, who entertains
an honest respect for truth and fair dealing. The
attempt of the late Convention to impose upon the
people of that troubled Territory a Constitution,
without submitting it as an entirety to a di
rect popular vote, if successful, is in manifest viola
tion of the letter and spirit of the Kansas-Nebraska
bill; subversive of the true prinoiples of republi
can institutions, and fatal to popular sovereignty.
Any attempt from any quarter to justify by specious,
plausible, and sophistic reasoning, the course of
this Convention, will be met by the scorn and con
tempt of every honest and honorable man. If the
integrity of the Domooratie party is worth preserv
ing, party leaders must understand that the masses
have honest convictions of right and duty, and will
not long submit to imposition.
[From the Monroe (Pa.) Democrat.]
ffsteSAs Coxerireriost.—The Kansas Constitu
tional Convention has finished its labors and ad
journed. We have purposely, thus far, refrained
from noticing its proceedings, because we did not
wish to raise our video for or against its action
before we bad some' tangible assurance what it

speak, and We mean to 'meek *
It bears upon its face the impress of trick and
fraud, and should bring down upon the heads of
its authors the scorn and contempt of every lover
of honesty and straight-forward dealing through.
out the land.
Congress—and we hope too Pennsylvania dela
'gallon in that body will see to it—should at once,
upon the presentation of this peeked instrument,
reject it by a unanimous vote. That body should
consider that if the new Constitution is not worthy
of being submitted to the judgment of the free
men of Kansas, it is clearly not a fit instrument
for their government; and they should provide
for the forming of such a Constitution as would
suffer nothing from public ecrutiny, and public
opinion as expressed through the ballot-box. We
hops that enough honest men will be fonnd in the
next Congress to redeem the pledge of the Demo
cratic party, that Kansas shall come into the
Union with such institutions as a majority of her
.bona jilts citizens that' determine upon. This, as
outsiders, tho people of the several States have a
right to demand, and this Congress should yield to
them: —

its proceedinge, which, though often alluded to,
has not been as distinctly stated and as seriously
dwelt upon as its importance deserves. The Con
stitution is not submitted to the people, to be
adopted or rejected as they may choose. That,
perhaps, is not necessary to its legal vailditl, but
is contrary
to the declared policy of Om 1 1 Riker
and President Buohanan, and is very undemo.
oratio. There are many precedents (and Min ion
ri furnishes one of them) of State Conventions
which, in their simplicity, thought they were ap
pointed for the very purpose of making Constitu
tions, and accordingly did make them and put
them in force, without asking the sanction of a
popular vote at home, and without suspecting that
Congress claimed the power, which is now boldly
claimed, to pass upon such Constitutions, in whole
Or in part, and affirm or disaffirm them, according
to its own notions of republicanism, for the time
being. The Kansas Convention haschosen neither
of the two courses heretofore pursued. It does not
put the Constitution in force by its own authority,
and it does not submit it to the people, toles ain
eepted or rejected by them. Moreover, it does not
leave the question of slavery open to be simply and
fairly voted upon and decided by tho people, as
was lately done in Oregon. But it devises a cun
ning plan to compel every man to vote for the
Constitution, denying him the opportunity to vote
against it; and ail this under the pretence of sub
mitting the question of slavery to the people.
Bo the schedule of the Constitution, the people
aro required, before voting, to swear to support
the Constitution if adopted, and then every man
of them is required to vote for it. The form of
voting is prescribed, and this Is the form : "For
the. Constitution with slavery," or "For the Con
stitution without slavery." And thus, however
the people may choose to vote upon the question of
slavery, the schedule positively requires them to
vote unanimously for the Conatitution.
The bare statement of the ease is shocking to
sense and decency. If the Convention had thought
fit to enact a Constitution and put it in operation
without appealing to the popular will at all, per
haps it had power to do so, however undemocra
tic the course might be; but under the pretence
of submitting the questioner slavery to the people,
to require every man to vote for Use Constitic-
Hon, and to swear beforehand to support it, is a,
disgusting compound of oppression and folly, the
equal of which can hardly bo found outside of
Kansas—oppression sit eompelling men to vote
for what they may despise or abhor, or renounce
their right of sulTracis ; and folly, ti, supposing
that they could (wale the few to sidmigate and
rule the matt y, by such is despicable trick. That
is not the way to govern people in this country,
and will no more be submitted to than would the
presertption of a poison-doctor who required his
patient to take his arsenic with bread and butter
or without it.
[From the Detroit Yree Press
The real question now is, will Congress coon
tenanae the cheat practised by the Convention ?
Wilt Congress income receivers of stolen goods, or
restore the abstracted treasure to the rightful
owners ?
- In all the Territories except Kansas and Ne
braska Congress has, from the very first, exercised
thapotier of disapprovingnny and all laws of the
Territorial Legislatures.
'-•IS was not a regular, but an irregular.proceed
til,whme the Legislature - of Kansas authr)rised the
000mpton Convention, which Congress may ratify
or reject as it shall see fit. Such was the view of
the Administration, expressed through the Wash
ington Union, in July last, as follows :
"This movement of the Territorial authorities
to form a Constitution is made not in the regular
way, in pursuance of an enabling and authorizing
act of Congress, but on the mere motion of tho
Territorial Legislature itself. Nay, it has been
begun and carried on in the teeth of a refusal by
Congress to pass such an act. This Irregularity is
not fatal. There are other MO in which it was
overlooked. But it can be waived only in consi
deration of the fact that the people have expressed
their will tit unmistakable language. If we dis
pense with the legal forms of proceedings we must
have the substance."
We are as anxious as any Democrat can be that
this Kansas imbroglio should be speedily settled.
It is a disturbing and harassing element. But it
is far better that It should remain open for the
next fiveyears, or ten years, than that it should be
settled at the sacrifice of the great cardinal prin
ciple of the Democratic party—roman sove
linlGNTY—Tile MORT OF setr-uovenenerrr. This
principle was not assorted in the Kansas-Nobraska
bill Or Kansas alone. It was asserted for all fu
ture Territories. If it is abandoned now, or
brought into ridicule, where shall we be upon the
slavery question? How shall the question be
treated when it shall rise elsewhere?
[Teem the Chicago Times, Deo, 5.)
Kes:aa CONSTITOTION.—We have rooeived
espies of this instrument. Independent of the
slavery question, it Is, perhaps, a very good one,
but of that the people of Kansas have the right to
Judge. The slavery clause gives the Legislature
power to provide for emancipating (by compensa
tion teethe owner) all slaves; but denies the power
to prevent the introduction of more slaves. A
vote " for the Constitution with slavery" is a vote
to establish and forever maintain the institution,
with the power in the Legislature of emancipation.
A vote "for the Constitution with no slavery"
is a vote to recognise the existence of slavery
now there, to keep those slaves who aro now in
the Territory, and their natural increase, slaves
during their lives, and is a vote to "strike out"
the power of the Legislature to emancipate. The
Constitution " without slavery" means that slavery
in the Territory shall be confined to those slaves
now there, and their increase from generation to
generation, with no power on the part of the Le
gielature to emancipate by compensation, or in any
other way, The Constitution with slavery allows
more slaves to be brought to Kansas, but gives the
Legislature power to provide for their emanolpa
tion.
We confess our inability to decide which of these
two alternatives is the more "pro-slavery," We
incline to the opinion that the "Constitution with
no slavery" is the more "pro-slavery."
[From the Louisville Democrat.]
In the present ease, the reason for not admitting
Kansas has nothing to do with the sort of institu
tions the State may adopt. It is the mangier of the
application that is to be considered ; and it is per
fectly extravagant to maintain thnt Congress has
not full discretion upon such a point. It was never
before held that Congress should admit a State
when the people were opposed to such admission.
This is a point upon which Congress has never
ventured, and which the country will never sanc
tion. That body hes disregarded all formalities in
the admission of a State when the voice of the
people of a Territory was for admission. That
point settled, no form has been deemed essential.
Now, when the voice of the people is, or may be,
against admission, no formalities can cure such a
defect in the substance of the application. But
really it seems to us too plain it case for argument.
Congress did, in the case of Wisconsin, exercise
the discretion to refuse the admission in n much
stronger case than this. Congress had itself pro
vided fora Convention in that State. It hod been
held, and a Constitution formed; but it hall not
been submitted to the people. Congress tont the
whole work back for popular ratification, and in
so doing acted wisely and constitutionally.
MATTERS AND THINGS IN NEW YORK.

PORTER HOUSE FIUUT—MAN SHOT.—Last night,
at midnight, some ten or twelve of the Atlantic
Blues" entered the porter-house kept by Michael
Barry, calling for something to drink After they
bad been served, the discovery was made that the
joint capital of the party amounted to one chil
ling, which, being deemed by the Bonithee of
the establishment insufficient, a fight ensued,
when the keeper of the house seized a double-bar
reled gun. and shot one of the party—a man
named John S. Kelly—the whole charge entering
his side about midway down. Ho lies now is
the hospital at the point of death. Barry Vac
arrested.
Ton CINALEI CLOSED.—The canals are olocod
for the season. At Amsterdam, on Friday, six
horses could not start a boat on account of the toe,
and along the valley of the Mohawk the canal is
blooked by ice. The snow which fell the acme
night has so clogged the gates that it in impossible
to look a boat. There can be no doubt now of an
entire ouspension of canal navigation in this State.

U. S. CAPITOL, WASHINOTON, December 7,1857.
—The weather to-day is charming, and the open

galleries of both Houses, and other parts of the
Capitol.
The greetings between the members and their
friends servo to render the scene pleasantly ex
citing.

On the roll being called fifty Senators answered
to their names. The Senate was called to order

chosen, and being conducted to his seat, returned
his acknowledgments for the honor conferred.
Tha usual resolutions were adopted for the ap.
pointment of committees to inform the House and
the President of the United States that the Senate

applause.
The clerk appointed Messrs. Stephens and Banks,
as a committee to conduct Mr. Orr to the chair.
The oath of office was administered by Mr. Old.
dingo.
On assuming the chair, Mr. Orr expressed his
thanks for the honor conferred upon him. The
delicate and responsible duties of the chair, be
said, would be comparatively light, if he should be
so fortunate as to secure the co-operation of the
members in despatching business, and in uphold.
ing the dignity of the House. He promised to ad
minister the rules, which may be adopted, with
firmness and impartiality. The grifat business con
fided to them by the people admonished them to oul
tivate a patriotism as expansive as the Confederacy
itself. He cherished the hope that the public busi

terests and happiness of the entire people, antl. the

and that their legislation would quicken the great
ness and glory of our common country.

Orr received for Speaker.

Wendell's character, he wrote a letter to Mr.
Clements, who replied that a corrupt proposition
had been made to him in behalf of Mr. Wendell,
Mr. Wendell, In his letter, (the subject having
been referred to him,) emphatioally denied that
any proposition of the nature stated bad been
made with his knowledge or authority, and that
it must have been by some one too lazy to work,
too proud to steal, and ashamed to beg. The
above correspondence was submitted by Mr.
Faulkner.
Mr. Clements said that when the proposition was
made, he referred the individual to the not of Con.
gress prescribing penalties against persons making

WASHINGTON ITEMS.
A letter has been received by the Secretary of
War from E. F. Bealo,anperlntendent of the wagon
road from Fort Defiance to the Mohave river, doled
27th of December, ono hundred miles east of the
Colorado river, in which be says :
"'limit the honor to report my arrival at this
place, a crook flowing north into the Colorado
The last, two days have been spent in constant ex
plorations of the country in advance, towards the
Great Colorado river, in ardor that might know
on, what to depend when I bet this place, as the
count* , -has boon represented as barren of grass
and %voter.
!` Up to this point the road has been, beyond all
comparison, over the easiest unbroken country for
the tame distance I have over seen; and should it
prove of a more difficult charaeter from this point
to the State line of California, it will even then he
a thousand times better one than any I know of;
offering, as it does, abundance of water and grass
throughout, and passing through the finest forests
or pine timber possible to conceive.
"I sent Mr. Thorburn to-day on an exploring
expedition in Wrenn, and shall myself start on
another - line to-morrow.
" I cannot iruflielently express my admiration of
that noble brute, the camel; and I confidently
look forward to the day when it will be found in
general Xlfo in all parts of the country. The idea
that their feet would break down in Unrolling our
reeky grounds is an exploded absurdity.
"In all the explorations over the roughest possible
volaanie rooks, they have been with us, patiently
earning water, of which they never drank a drop,'
and'orn, of which they never tasted a grain. On the
expedition from which I returned yesterday, they
were four days without water, and apparently
without feeling the want of it.
"I sent back to-day part of my escort, having
no further need of it. My animals are all in good
condition, and the mon in excellent spirits.
"The next despatch you will receive from me
will announce my arrival in California, and also
the fact of my starting back on my return.
" I repeat, that up to this point, the road, con-
Adoring its length, and the fact that it is un
broken, Is the best is all points in the world, and
that it will prove, in spite of all opposition to the
contrary, the great emigrant route to California.
It cannot fail in this, for it is nearly two hundred
miles shorter than any other, and the region around
~bounds with grass, wood, and water, besides being
very fertile in all parts "
Mr. Holbrook, the special agent of the Post U

Dr. Jacob Forney, Superintendent of Indian

A 'report had reached him that a portion of the

The Landon Stattaitisays: " One tumor of the
last few days has been that Lord Palmerston is very
much disposed to promote groat changes in the

not proposed by the ministerial bench when Par
liament meets, tho fault will not be with the First
Lord of the Treasury "
The Moi a tag Star states : "We are informed
that the First Lord, in opposition to the wish of
not a few members of the Cabinet, wants to per
petuate the old system in India, if for no other
purpose than to teach foreign nations that oar
eastern empire has not been mismanaged."
On which divers opinions, the Liverpool Daily
Pest remarks: 1 ; It cannot be doubted that the
Minister will throw the East India Company over
board, if he find that the country will be against
him unless he do so. The Cabinet are undoubtedly
divided in opinion on the India, as well as on the
reform question, and this will very much hamper
any measures on those subjects that may be intro
duced.

THE CAPTIIIIF AND EA.ECFTION OF TIM DELHI
PRINCE:I.—We (4, y6hire Bap c,s) have been fa

of a young officer to his friend in England. It is
dated Dugshire, a place about 40 miles from Delhi,
29th September last: " A few days coo, Captain
Dodson (of oars) went out and captured the }Ling,
and brought him in a prisoner. Ile is at present
confined in his own palace.
'•A few day later, he went out again, and came
up with the King's eons and grandson lie had
only 100 native horsemen of his own regiment with
him, and the enemy about 10,000 ; .3,000 of whom
were fully armed aOpoys. Hodson taw it was no use
attacking them, 80110 sent an emissary to tell the
princes that the game was up with them, and that
they had better surrender, which they did. after
some time, and came up to Dodson, who immo•
diately surrounded the carriage with hismen. Ile
sent for their arms, and, after hesitating some time,
these also were given up, with seven elephants,
and lots of stores. On reaching the gaol. Hodson
ordered the princes out of the vehicle ; they. im
agining all was net right for thmuselves, began
(native like) to talk, and say they hoped there
might be an Inquiry into their conduct. Hod-
Bon said ' cheeproks' (be quiet), and ordered
them to take off all their flue clothes. When this
was done. he said, 'now, get in again,' and ordered
the driver to proceed. Ile then beckoned to one
of his men, and asked for a carbine, and with his
own hand shot each and all of the three princes.
lie then tools their bodies into the city, and laid
them out for inspection in front of Kotasallie,
where those wretches had laid out their victims
during the massacre. There aro lacslupon Ines of

COMMERCIAL
[From the Times' city article or Tuesday evening ]
The public, continue to support the stook-market
by heavy purchases, end the closing quotations to
day show an advance of a quarter per cent. Tho
first transactions in Consuls for money were at
891 to 1, and at the conelo-ion the prices were 89:
to 90 for money, and 90 to for the ith of De
cember. A steady flow of bullion to the bank as
sists the tendency to a restoration of confidence,
and altogether a bettor feeling prevails, although
some additional failures announced this afternoon
haao occasioned deep regret, Beek stock left off
at 212 to 214; reduced, 181 to 89 ; New Three per

bonds, 40s. to 355. discount; and Exchequer-bills,
lls. to Os. discount.
In the stook exchange to day, owing to the large
investments of the public, the supply of money
was abundant, and short loans on Government se
curities could bo obtained readily at six to seven
per cent. At the Bank of England the applica
tions continue gradually , to diminish, and as the
repayments now falling duo there are extremely
largo, the weekly returns are henceforth likely to
show a considerable improvement. In the dis
count market also there were some signs of relaxa
tion.
A further au about about .t 150,000, in Australian,
Russian, and enter gold, was sold to the bank.
The total taken there since this day week is thus

that may have been returned from Scotland or

TILE PRESENT AND FUTURE OF AMERICA
[From the London Times, Nov. 23.]
It is long close America has had to pass through
such difficulties - as at present beset her. The un
broken prosperity, tho uninterrupted progress of
the New World, has long been a subject of pride
for the Republicans and of reproach to the mo
narchies of Europe. Indeed, America has been zo
fortunate as hardly to have had a history, in the
modern and somewhat sombre sense of the
term. While France, and Germany, and Italy
have been convulsed by revolutions ; while Spain
bee lost ships, colonies, commerce, name, and
dignity; while even England, though growing
rapidly in material and moral power, has had to
fight her way through wars, and Insurrections. and
" strikes," through the obstinacy of party and the
prejudice of classes, America bee seen the way
clear before her, and' had bad only to build
and occupy, to plant and reap the increase,
to educate and receive the blessing of education.
Indeed, so few have been the trials of the Re
public, so easy and enured its onward march, that
the people have become weary of their very happi
ness. Much of their occasional irritability, par
ticularly towards England, much of their desire to
turn every conversation into a channel -which shalt
draw forth some compliments to America and her
institutions, much of their encouragement to Filli
bustering and such like excesses, arises from a feel
ing that the country's history is hardily great
enough for her. Prosperity is not a sufficient sub-
Istituto for glory. It is not enough to conquer the
wilderness, to build vaet cities where the Indian
and the panther wandered within the lifetime of
men still young; the American people seem to tire
of this monotonous and uneventful prosperity, of
the ever unclouded sky above them, and the un
broken smoothness of the path they tread.
Suck an event as the enforced idleness of multi
tudes who depend on their labor fee their daily
bread, is something new on the American continent.
We who have had in times poet to suffer from such
calamities, and who bare even now groat numbers
among us who in age and sickness have no resource
but public charity, can well feel for the
misery with which the population of the Atlantic
cities is threatened. The Irish and Germans, who
form the majority i . af the laboring class, ate hardly
more provided against the storms of fortune than
their brethren who remain et home. They earn
more and spend more; they are incomparably bet
ter off than in the villages of Connaught or
Suable, but they have hanity in the first
generation contracted habits of saving and hoard
ed enough to carry them through a winter of
bankruptcy and snspended works. The American
papers announced a few weeks since that some
40,000 men would he without occupation in
New York, and that a great outcry, and perhaps
a general rush southward, would be the result.
1:y the last mails we have a description of
the scenes which are now represented in the
city. "Ranger meetings" have been held, In
which banners, bearing in several languages
the device "Work or Death," were carried in pro
cession, and the multitude has been addressed
by orators 'who proclaimed the duty of the
community to provide work and food for its
members. It may. indeed, be a mockery to preach
political economy to a starving man, but still it is
certainly true that the knowledge and capacity
of the working classes very much influence the
arguments which are used on such occasions. In
this country the artisans, even in the very depth of
their distress, seem to acknowledge the true C/111%0
of it. We bear little abuse of the rich, little
talk about the tyranny of capital and the rights of
labor, and never an incentive to violence or
spoliation. But it cannot be forgotten that
the American cities contain a population which
has been educated in other principles, and is not
accustomed to let its acts lag far behind its
desires. Prom the Parisian workshops, from the
Democratic districts of Western Germany, from
Switzerland and Italy, have gone forth bands of
emigrants who have notions of property very
different from those whits!! native Americans learnt
hom their English progenitors. The right to
work, to food, to luxury, to happiness, has been
preached by philosophers, and Attempted to be re
alised by statesmen in the largest capital of conti
nental Europe within the last ten years. The
spirit and the doctrines which have been sup
pressed in Paris have free play in New York and
we cannot but fear that if extreme distress were
to come upon the continental emigrants and their
impulsive Irish brethren ocenoe of violence might
follow which would require the serious interference
of the State.
That this interference would take place promptly
and effectually cannot be doubted. We have no
fear for the peace of New York and Philadelphia,
nor for the speedy restoration of employment and
i
well being. The worst of the crisis s already
past, confidence will soon be restored, the vast pr e
duce of the West and the South will bring wealth
into the country, the merchants who have fallen
will kiting up again with true American elas
ticity, or their place will ho taken by others;
mills will reopen, work will be resumed on
ships nn I house;, in docks or in brick
kilns, and in another twelvemonth the panic
and starvation of 1637 will be forgotten,. But
still it is possible to look at things too much in the
mace, and in our confidence in the community's
strength to overlook the sufferings of individuals.
We cannot but sympathise deeply with those who
seem likely to undergo a term of great distreas.
That the benevolence of the prosperous may
be counted upon to relieve the want that will
Surround them, it probable enough ;
. that its
powers may be equal to the task, our sincere
hope
From the event, however. it may be permitted
to deduce a moral, or rather a principle. The
destitution of the Atlantic cities will remind the
Americans how much their social condition is
tending to similarity with our own, Bence,
when thoy hear of poorhouses, and begging and
strikes' in oar country, they may learn to took
with more indulgence on their neighbors, and with
less presumption on themselves. The feet which
all recent history is teaching iv, is the supremaoy
of economical over political laws. dorms of
(lot ernuoent hare, no doubt, their effect on
mankind. Far bo it from us to say of tio
vernments '• That which in best adminis
tered is best." Liberty of speech and action
can alone make nations permanently great;
political slavery taunt produce is those subject to
it many of the vices of cloves, and a rule which
sustains itself by force and secrecy must have
its hour of downfall. But if political Institutions
influence all that makes life worth having, they
hardly touch life itself. Still less can such dif
ferences of government as distinguish England
and America produce the groat dissimilarity
of the workingman's condition on the two
sides of the Atlantic. Wherever the popula
tion is crowded and the occupations are de
pendent on traffic, there must be periods of
distress and disturbance, in which angry passions
are nourished and the lessons of common sense and
experience are forgotten. The northern seaboard
States of America will probably have in their
turn to struggle against many of the evils with
which this country has so valiantly battled, and
though they will enter into the field with greater
advantages than ourselves, yet their watch must
be unceasing and their resolution firm. There is,
however, a power in the Americans of amalga
mating the rem that come among them, which
gives assurance that they will succeed even with
the most stubborn materials which Ireland and
Central Europe can produce.

The absence of outside operators keeps the busi
