One cannot walk through our streets upon a sun•
shiny day without being powerfully impressed with
the tangible signs of a gradual but sure assimilation
to the European capitals. It would, indeed, seem
ES though the existence of the war had a tendency
to force this process with hot-house rapidity. We
have lost our angularity, our primness, our chinas
teristic Americanism. The spirit of the Dutch fore
fathers is departing from us, and for it we are suh
stituting what Mr. Mantalint was wont to call "a
dear, demnred, delightful spirit of Europeanism.
Only a short time ago, a full-blooded &rmentan,

calico hat, bevelled off' at the top like the mouth.

of come of the picturesque beings h 9 might have
met with in the streets of Rome, rather than those
of New York—providing "ono" had ever been in
Home."
From this statement it is not to be argued that 0-
reign creatures tread our pavements in national cos
tume, each ore grim, iLg hetet ly at ue unbelievers, and
imagining himself a realization of the inevitable saint
who never fails to appear in Jacques Callot's pic
tures, surrounded by legions of demons. Fortunate.
ly, transportation to this country is too dear for the
heathen. But with civilized foreigners, educated
according to sound doctrines, and inducted to the
sublime utilitiea of pantaloons and broadcloth, we
ate literally imitated, Our best sooiety is tinged
with the trans-atlantic element. Bankrupt Freush•

Not only is the tone of society unmistakably com
posite, but the general taste in all that pertains to
the tasteful. Thorough iconoclasts, - at hot We are
breaking our primitive idols, and forming our faith
upon the models which Paris has endorsed. We
talk about our Park, our statuary, our art gsileries
which are to be; we dismiss our architeetural tastes,
pointing to this buildiug or that, as a gem in its
way. Our carriage manufActories no longer turn
out the vulgar hack, the great, glaring, Puritanical
coupe, and the spidery sulky, with wheels of mar.

the round, torpid, silver spider ever sleeps. Now we

741 r. Dawson Hatiogizes the Democratic
Party.
Mr. DIWFON, of Pennsylvania. replied to a speech
heretofore delivered by Mr. Moorhead, his eollesatte.
He was sorry lie could not regard it as an argament
The Democratic party had soled with a futignanirallY
of purpose never equalled by any other orgauhttton.
they endeavored to avert a civil war, the greatest of all
national calamities. and opposed the fanatical move
ments of both the Abolitionists and the Secessionists.
but when hostilities broke out they freely gave their
blood and tzeaaare lR defence of the censtrY. He main
tained that the Democratic put, - was the true friend of
the soldiers. and bad strangled with united abr.: to
increase their pay and to supply their physical wants
and comforts, as well as those of their wives and chit•
dr= in their absence. As often as he, (sir. Dawson, )as
chairman of the Democratic caucus, had offered such
Propositions. they bed MA often been ztded out of ord.,
or defeated by the gentleman (Mr. bloorboad) and his
friends
Mr MOORHEAD (Pa ) Welly replied it was true he
and his colleague were formerly politically connected,
but since they had parted conpany, he was sorry to say
his colleague, while our political fabric was bet:liming
to fall. had associated among political mon wile ware
now active in the rebellion. bte knew his colleague
was a lin& hearted man, aid had hops sf his political
lilics.tlen.
Mr. 'WILLIAMS, of Pennsylvania, in the course of his
rs marks. said: We have treated she seceded States as a
government and put them under the ban of the
u n i on AB e ll en ene mies. Thte Das become a public war.
as between two different natinne. Those gtates atm no
longer in the Union. excepting for correction, and that
roust be reconetructed under the conquering power.
history presents no parallel to this rebellton—so wicked,
atrocious. and causeless. Its suppression had become
pottale. without removing tne sense of strife, and by
UK the slaves and amir sr them against the authors
cf this war. There meet be a complete excision or this
hell,born and hell-deserving spirit which brought on
Ibis violence. While speaking of Massachusetts blood
being shed in the sheets of Baltimore.
Mr. KELLEY interrupted his colleagu e by. eam i ng
that Pennsylvania blood Was itret sited is that city, and
SAP colleague could. therefore, claim that honor.
Mr. STROUSR had permission to say to his colleague
that the first blood shed was that of a negro, who was in
the very dist company which passed through lialtimere.
Hr. KELLEY replied that the negro's name was
Nicholas Biddle, a constituent 5J ',lir colleague.
Mr. WIGLI/MS, conoladad his rams rka by expressing
bM hopes as to the future and the establishment of our
Union inn a Arm and enduring basis—a great republic, one
and indivisible.
Mr. BALDWIN. of Michigan. said the proi , pect may
well appal the s tonteet heart The Administration
which does not dare to have its acts discussed is un
worthy of the support of freemen. If it had devoted itself
wholly to the restoration of the Union, the happy result
cf peace would long ago have been realized The Slalom
the Republicans favor is not the Union of Washington
and Madison. but one of their own devising
He charged that party with violations of the Constitu

and return to the original policy*, If we do not, the war
will have been inst commenced.

BBNARNABLR EICAPE OP A PRISONER —A few
nights ago a-prisoner named Cornelius Sullivan, be
longing to the Ist New York Cavalry, and under
semence by court martial, made a moat remarkable
escape from the Atheneum. De had been guilty of
some breach of the discipline of the prison, and was
confined in one of the little cells recently built upon
the stage of the else theatre. He managed to tear
the bail Whim bucket, and with that dull instrument
alone be cut and pecked one of the planks in the
flooring so that he was enabled to lift it up, and
make a hole large enough to let his body down from
the stage to the floor underneath.
He bad three blankets and a pair of drawers, out
of which be constructed a sort of rope, and, passing
back unobserved to the west of the building, he
hoisted a window at least forty feet above the
ground, and tying one end of his rope to a frail
piece of frame-work, let himself down. In doing
all this he made some little noise, and one of the
guards called out that something was wrong ; but
before the alarm was responded to, Sullivan was off
like a quarter-beree. It is regarded as an toms&
ingly hazardous undertaking Leaving out the fear
of being detected and shot by the guard, there is not
another sane man in the prison who would run the
risk which proved so favorable in Sullivan , s cam—

WORKING GUNS BY STEAW.—TRO St. Louis
Union describes some interesting experiments with
a new invention in that any, devised for the purpose
of working heavy guns by steam power. The plan
was tested, lset week, on board the monitor Winne.
ham The Union says:
"As We are prohibited, by general instructions from
the Navy Department, from giving a description la
detail of this wonderful machine, we can only state
that two eleverviech Dahlgren guns are cont.
pletely wider the control of one man In it, and
handled with as much ease by him, and with almost
as much celerity as a pair of duelling pistols could
be. Every movement of the guns is made by steam.
They are run out of their ports by it. and their re
coil is checked by it ; they are lowered into the hold
by steam for lonciig, and raised again to be fired.
and all these movements are made in as little time
as it has taken to relate it."
