l.ixtoitj, jHtrticutarl-j of' t.'.etchnnict.r , at re ices
and satriices of our illustrious men. tcill
jirodttcc a sa'utary mural influence !on our
youth.
Who can tell Low much the rcc '!. ctlons
ef the former greatness i.f Greece, nvivtd by
ihj stirring appw.a to the heroic days and
deceta of her rcnow: cl men by the pen of
Lvrd Byron, wheii he Ib.it visited that Leau
liful country, wmiciii tell now i;u;ch these
recollec:ioris ar:d hi; t? rrin at feats may
have contributed tj awaken that tp:r;t in the
modern Greeks vW.i.h resulted in lleir inde
pendence and the ir cinaiicipaiLu fiom 'i'mk
lih vassalage? Nioi,o c.in d ubt that the
remembrance of her ancient grandeur, Moible
even through the long night of her s e.vituoe
in her mouldering iiut.s and n iic.-, and glow
ing fresh in the pages of her orat..r and poets,
nuifet have had toine ii.flueL.ee iu aioUaiug
);er oppressors. The enslaved, de-generate
Grecian, knowing what hia country once was,
must have seen iu every object around biui
a look of reproach. Must not his cheek Lavo
oumed with bhame while ho cringed and
crouched to a Turkish roaster on the very
fpot, perhaps, whero Lcouidas expired, and
with the bones, too, of that gallant hero re
posing beneath his foot? What feelings
must have GUed his bosom when, in -ploughing
the old battle-fields cf hia coontry, ho
turned up the rusty weapons or mouldering
bones of his fathers ! Every Bod must have
called him a degenerate, degraded slave.
Every relic of former da s, every classic valo
nnd fountain, every leaf of ancient literaturo
and every trophy of former freedom must
have reproached him.
Under the influence of such feelings they
couM not have looked celdly on their past
history. It must have kinuied enthusiasm
in their bosoms. The contrast tf present
degradation with former greatness must have
awakened some of the spirit of their fathers;
for at last the spirit stirring recollections of
what Greece ouce was broke the spell that
had for more than three centuries bound her
down iu bondage. It was the voice burst
it g from the tombs of her old heroes, orators
nnd poets that awoke her from her trance of
death, and nerved her with strength to burst
the bonds of her sepulchre and rise up to
' newness of life.
If Pitch be the moral influence which the
lives of illustrious men exert upon their coun
trymen iu after limca if the glory and re
nown of cational character add so much to
the strength and fervency with which we
love our country if the examples of the
past are such eloquent and impressive moni
tors to the future if through the history of
their lives we can holu Converse with our
illustrious dead, and feel that they are pre
sent in spirit with us, exhorting us to follow
the examples of their own pure patriotism
with a more impressive eloquence than can
belong to mortal lips then surelj the mem
ory of the bright names and noble schieve
mcnts of our history should be kept fresh
and green in the hearts of our youth. For
the usefulness of great men, if their memory
bo pre.servo l, docs not die with them.' Kos
kiusko, it is said, aided Poland more in her
htrugglo with Russia by the power of Lis ex
ample, and the very magic of his name, than
ho did in his life by all his great services.
His body, it is true, was confuted within a
narrow grave, but his spirit Jilled all Poland.
Living, he could enly be present in one place
at a time dead, he was present everywhere,
at all times, inspiring all and encouraging
all with more than mortal influence.
The case would bo similar in this country
If the memory of our history be kept fresh
and green in the hearts of the people. In
times of public danger the memory of our
departed patriots would animate their coun
trymen. They would feel and act as if the
spirits of the dead were hovering in the nir
around them, spectators of their actions ; and
as they looked up to the broad 6tripcs and
bright stars of ourensign waving above them
they would remember that it wa3 Ihv sJiroud,
the winding sheet, of the gallant Lawrence,
as ho lay a corpse on the deck of the ship
which ho so bravely d fended, and which
with his dying breath ho charged his crew
"never (o give vp
Again, as they would behold the gorgeous
standard of Great Britian floating upon the
breeze, their hearts would kindle with tho
recollection that it was the j'illoio cf the nc
I'lo Pike in his expiring moments that it
was tho insignia of his Yictorj', aud upon
which he laid his faiutinghead and exclaim
ed : "I die contented!'
A thousand similar recollection?, touching
and tender, would thicng the memory, ex
cising and kindling therein a love cf country.
Lung, then, may our country and our coun
try's history continue to b!ss and beautify
the world. God loves this land, and He will
p.!sy the hand that touches to destroy the
sacred ark of our lndepeueler.ee. ne will
ttmite to dumbness the tongue that criefl "re
bellion," and they who oppos e GjiI must bat
tle with the thunders of 1 eaven.
Let u.-i, then, us parents teach cur chil
dren, and as teachers instiuct our pupils,
the Au.cricau students, to pray fervently:
"God Lie-8 our nativo land !
Firm inny she ever stand
Through storm arid night;
When the wild tempests ravo

TEio Future.
Franklin Fierce became President in
1853. In Itiii first message to Congress
Le pledged himself, if we mistake not, to
maintain inviolate the various coiiipro-mis-
s in regard to slavery. At the suc
ceeding session of Congress?, the chief of
these measures of pacification the Mis
souri compromise was repealed with his
approval. From that day forward, the
discussion cf the multitudinous phases of
the slavery cjucstion formed the nhsorbing
topic of political discussion. The cupidity
of the South in her desire to gain more
territory for slavery was roused to its ut
most. The conscience and honor of the
Xorth were sharpened to their keenest
sense. Not in Congress simply, and by
politicians, but in the club-room, the sttcial
circle, and the pulpit, and by men of all
conditions, this vexed slavery question was
discussed. Ordinary material interests,
Pi.:r i i: j.
cjticsiions oi lartii, ui titiei tiai improvement, i
and "development of the country's ,re- J
sources were dwarfed into seeming ni'g
nificance in the presence of one great sub-1
ject of dispute. The contest was for the
control of a continent and for the shaping '
of the destiny of hundreds of millions of
people. It is only now when the struggle
is over, and we can survey it as a thing of
the past, that we may realize its full pro
portions. That it is past, let us be grate
ful. Uetter still, the pen of history must
now record another triumph of human
liberty over human bondage, of the equal
ity of man in all natural and civil rights
over arbitrary distinctions of class and
privilege, and of National unity over State
sovereignty.
"With the finishing cf the work of re
construction, the last vestige of this long
protracted controversy will disappear.
The country will enter cn a new era.
"Winterer disputes now arise cannot ex
cite that earnestness nor involve the great
stakes which hung on the slavery issue.
"We have apparently reached that period
spoken of by Montesquieu when men cease
to mould the institutions of a country, and
the institutions iu turn shape tho charac
ter of tho citizens.
"With the close of this gigantic struggle,
the best intellect of the country will be
left to find new fields of employment.
What are these fields f Certainly, so far
as the character of the Government is con
cerned either in the States or in the Na
tion, there is no pressing demand for re
form. The greatest alteration now re
quired in order to conform our laws to iho"'
fundamental theory of free government is
the abolition of all distinction as to color
or race in political privileges. But" this
question involves national consistency only,
not national safety or happiness. "Woman
suffrage is another issue urged on the peo
ple by a number of persons more noted for
their virtue and intelligence than their
numbers or influence. Their demands
might be granted or refused without caus
ing more than a ripple to disturb the po
litical surface. The social aspects of this
proposed change are, we apprehend, those
deserving the chief attention.
The real questions of the future relate
to the material development of the coun
try. What foreign complications may
arise, of course no man can tell. Yet
euch disputes as we have are in a hopeful
way for eepuitable settlement j end hence
our foreign relations do not enter into any
horoscope of our prospects. When shall
we resume specie payments, aud by what
course of preparation ? Shall we have
free trade, or protection to American In
dustry ? "What means shall be taken by
the National Leirislature for the internal
improvement and development of the
country ? In these questions, we take it,
are to be found the issues of the immedi
ate future. The business of the country
is now in an unsettled condition.
Never before has the nation emerged from
a great war with proportionably less finan
cial aud industrial prostration than has
followed tho suppression of the rebellion.
Yet a dollar of greenbacks should be worth
a dollar in gold, that commodities may
have a settled value. "We need only to
reach that point by safe means in order
that the whole land, North as well as South,
East as well as Vest shall take a bound forr
ward in population and prosperity that
will surprise none more than ourselves.

TSie PoHcr ol" a C'gesiI.
Over a year ago, the Jud-;ei of the
United. States District Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia struck from the rolls of
practicing attorneys the name of Joseph
II. Bradley, for contempt of court; het-ub-scquently
applied to the United States
Supreme Court fjr an order setting aside
the order of ei is m issj il cf said Bradley, and
the Supreme Court directed a rule to is
sue upon said court to show cause why a
mandamus should not issue to compel
them to restore his name to the rolis. A
reply has been prepared and printed, stat
in:: that "said rule ought to be discharged,
fiist, because said Bradley was removed
lro:n the said ofSce of attorney of said
court only after due notice had been
served upon him, and ho had been heard
in defense, and after .nature consideration
by the court; that said order of the court
was a judgment of the court in regard to
a matter w ithiu its own exclusive jurisdic
tion, and not subject to ruview iu any oth
er court, and especially not in this form
cf process."
A number of precedents are quoted,
aud the circumstance leading to his dis
missal, which, it will be recollected, was
the calling of the judge a '"liar" in court,
and at a subsequent time sending him a
challenge to fiht a duel. They add
"Whether viewed as a contempt cr as
misbehavior, therefore, the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia possessed ex
clusive jurisdiction to make the order re
moving Mr. Bradley from its bar, aud that
decision is bejond a review."
It concludes: "A court destitute of the
jotfer to protect its judges from such ex
periments as this upon their fears, would
soon be driven from its neat ; or, if pos
sessing the power, but too pu&illauimous
to use it, must sink into observed con
tempt." It is signed by D. R. Carttcr, Chief
Justice; G, V. Fisher, A. li. Olin, A.
Wylie, Justices.
The United States neither isends nor
has it sent to it any minister of the"Third
class cf Ambassador." The biggest rank
our practitioners take is "Kuvoy Extraordi
nary and Minister Plenipotentiary," which
sets them as high as Franklin and John
Adams. Mr. Johnson and Gen. Dix re
ceive 817,500 apiece, each with two Sec
retaries of Delegation at 2,025, and 1,
500 respectively. Mr. Clay, Mr. Hale,
Mr. Bancroft, Mr. Marsh, Mr. Webb and
Mr. Boss Browo, receive 12,000, and one
secretary at l,S0O. Our ministers to
Peru and Chili get 10.000. The rest
get 7,500. An interpreter in Chica trets
S5J0O. Our highest Con.-uls tret 7;500;
the most of them less than 1.000 The
man who sits out iu the jail of Napoleon
at St Helena, receives 1,500 for it. For
500 more he would pubably go to the
penitentiary. Havre is a better consul
ar&hip than Paris, the first bcir g 7,000
and the last 5,000. Calcutta is worth
85,000, Melbourne 1,000, Montreal 4,
000, London 7,000, Dublin only the fees,
St Petersburg 2,000, Havana 0,000.
Newspapes. Directouy. G. P. How
ell & Co., the New York Advertising
Agent?, are about issuing a complete
American Newspaper Directory. It is in
compilation much needed, since nothing
of the kind haviug any claims to complete
ness has ever been published. Messrs.
Rowell & Co. have spared no pains or ex
pense to make the furthcoming work com
plete. We understand the book will be
a handsome octavo volume ol about 300
pages, bound in dark cloth, and sold for
five dollars per copy. As the publishers
are Advertising Agents, their issuing a
work containing so much information, us
ually jealously guarded by those in that
business, shows that they are confident of
their ability to bo of service to advertisers,
or they would not so readily place in their
hands the means of enabling every one to
communicate direct with publishers if they
so desire.
Amnesty. Mr. Johnson seems anx
ious to do all he can for his rebel friends
during the brief period that remains to
him iu the White House. Jutt before
Christmas he issued a proclamation of
amuesty to all rebels, which is intended
to operate as a free pardon lo all, includ
ing Jeff. Davis. Whit will be the effect
of this attempt to make treason odious is
more than we can say. The rebels and
their frieuds contend t hat it relieves them
from all their disabilities as traitors, and
restores to them their forfeited rights as
citizens. This is denied by many of the
ablest lawyers in Congress. Congress
will investigate the matter thoroughly.
In tho meantime, it is reported that the
friends cf Jeff, will bring his case before
the Supreme Court as a test, relying upon
the eytnpathy of Jude Chase to help
them through.
