You have had the evidence, gentlemen, of this

noble and honest Bronson thrown down, and

all of his predecessors. XDe maxim nas uceu
to look to honesty, fidelity, and capacity ; aou,
above all, not to bring the patronage of the Fede
ral Government into conflict with the freedom
of elections. Why, gentlemen, so far from look-
ine to these conditions in the use of the appoint
ing power, it seems to be the duty of the Attor
ney General to telegraph, or cause to be tele
graphed, on the eve of important elections, just
what ta necessarv to Jeleat candiaates wno
tave not sriven in their adhesion to this
new school doctrine about State rights. Look
at Washington, and what do you see there that
changes the view I have taken of President
Pierce's infidelity to the great principles of De
mocracy? Did you ever hear of Sir. Marcy
standing by anybody, or helping anybody, be
cause he took the true position in the great bat
tle which Mr. Pierce declared was necessary to
be fought, in order to save the country from the
abolitionists and nullifiers T From the time be
Htrd Mr. Van. Buren. when the scheme
of the sub-treasury was first started, has be
ever been known to risk a thought, or ven
ture an act. calculated to rescue the right
from wrong f Long and difficult persuasion
induced him to preside oversome meeting where
an effort was made to heal the party divi
sion in thie State, by recognising aequien
cence in the compromise as theduty of all in em
bers of the party, but no one ever neara oi mm
when the measure remained for months and
mouths the captive of the malignant passions
brought ioto action by the nullifiers of the
North and the South. Turn next to the War
Department, filled by the chivalrous gentleman
from Mississippi. After doing all be con Id to
ii.flame the people of the south, he take the
back track when be finds tbey ceuld not be in
duced to nullify or secede, and says he will
fallow the people. But he is as mucn or a nul

or any other Northern fanatio But it is useless,
. . i - i rr T: .
gentlemen, to munipiy instances oi air. -ieroe
infidelity to bis pledges as a Jackson Demo
crat.
I suppose ther is not a man in our whole
country, conversant wun me po.iucs oiiue uaj,
but what will admit that he ha tailed, signally
failed, aa a President and statesman. And the
remits of bis administration, what are they bat
ths natural consequences of his abandonments of
the tld maxims of Democracy, for the new-fan
gled notions of such men as Davis of Missiscipps
Seward of this State, and Wilson of Maaeactm
setts? One has a9 much right to nullify as
the other ; that is, no right at all. The prion
pie on which they stand has been repudiated
bv all true Democrats, ever since the fuun.la
tion of the government. But there areennven
(ions in the South, ami perhaps in the North,
where men, calling themselves Democrats, speak
of supporting Mr. Pierce's measures. Now. 1
should like to know what he has done, except
turn out a tew good men who were true to tbe
principle on which he came into power, and to
put in their places men of nullifying gympa
thie. This may be called the distinguishing
uteariure of his administration. The next in im
prtnnce are the aturk on Grey town, the O.tend
Conference, and the recent di-jplav of our naal
force before Ilavjn.t.
No one, 1 believe, has ventured to character
ise hiii vetoes as uif a.iiire9, any more than he
wonld advert to the essay of some schoolboy on
morals or metaphyaics as philosophy. He has
quoted a little from one President, and a little
from another, but even the most rabid of his
party have voted against his recommendation,
without thinking himself any the worse or bet
ter new-school Democrat thereafter. No, gen
tlemen, if you examine closely these conven
tions, you will find that they are not Democrat
ic in the old constitutional sense. The nominee
of one of these conventions in Tenneesee propo
ses to give the public land to the foreign im m i
grants, to change the constitution, and is known
as a Jacob's-ladder man; that is, he is a man
who gets power by ascending a ladder which has
a round for every onu to stand upon. In the
Georgia Convention you will observe that nul
lification is the leading idea. The talk is there
about retaliatory measures about making hos
tages out of individuals and property belonging
to citizens of Massachusetts. They forget that
two wrongs never make a right. They sever
make a right. They never think of respecting
the old sentiment of Democracy, that the Con
stitution, and laws of the United States in pur
suance thereof, are supreme, and must be exe
cuted. And if we had a President, gentlemen,
such as old Jackson, you would not hear of
tliee retaliatory measures, nor such disgraceful
spectacles as are now being played iu the neigh
borhood of Bunker Hill.- But, ala ! we have
none.
This great republic must forever lament that
a proclamation from Mr. Pierce would le just
such an affair as bis attack on Grey town and
the establishment of the Ostend Conference. J
What could he do with a Secretary of V ar who
believe in tbe right of nullification, and an At
torney General who is known only to the nation
aa an abolitionist, ahead even of Oiddings and
S -ward 1 lie commenced to govern the country
by a union of these two elements of disunion,
and he can do nothing to save it that will not in
volve him still deeper in disgrace. Why, gen
tlemen, it ought not to surprise us if wa hear
to morrow that Mr. Wilson, who preaches so
furiously against the fugitive slave law, has in
fluence enough to turn out Cushing and take his
place in the Cabinet, on the principle that a
fresh horse can travel faster than a jaded oae.
But, leiiowciiisen!, l turn trom uee un
pleasant pictures to tbe platform on whi.h I have
thought an old Jackaon man could stand with
roneistenc and honor, t ou have seen that Mr.
Pierce and the new-school Democrats have sur
rendered to the nullifiers. You have seen that
the country stands abasned at the enormous pre
tensions of this school. Nullification io the
South the highest passport to public favnr
and stretches cut its haDd to nullification in the
North for succor and aid. Can a sound J o-k-aon
in in, or a CUy Whig, witness the frat. roi
zation without agreeing to bury flieir- f..roipr
ditl'erences .mi minor questions, and make one
united effort to rid the country of such a nj
tematic atiark on the body politic? It is the
objert of t!it American party to acmtipreh
this.
jou will Me treru the eitrarts which I rend
j that the Uio-.o ei.timent of Washington and
Jackson oonciiiute the platform. Mr. pierce and
Mr. Seward ri!tVM,rmed their coalition in such
a way as to secure the foreign vote, and to ei; list
the Catholics us partisans in their cause. To
counteract this Malitiooi the American party
propeses to iio. li v the naturalisation laws, and
toenterintopoIiJc'il brotherhood with no ecclesi
astic or sectarian, tio profet sen toou o allegiance
to any power hijihej- thau theConstitutioo of the
United State, fh.'re is no wrong here done to
any human Win. The foreigner who has ac
quired the rights of i irijenship, as he values
thoae right", oanii .t object to plaoe them be
yond the assaults nf flume paupers and crimi
nals who are lauding on our shores by the tbuu
sand. Nor ought the t'atholie to feel surprise
that tbe American u.m.l looks with distrust and
apprehension upon a hierarchy which in all
other countries has sought to connect the Chnrnh
I ami S.lo and vhnM himnr ku hum nn
is false.
, The position of the A merican party on this quee
tion ie as elear as daylight It simply annonnces
to tbe Catholic bishops, that if they possess the '

power to organite their ommunicaota into po-

tatea. Let his follower satisfy u that these
pretensions are not claimed by tbem, and then.
will find, tne American party as wuunj w
meet them in tbe bonds of common and equal
citizenship a any other class of churohmen.
I dismiss this part of the subject with tbe de
claration, that the idea incorporated into the
platform, that Americans must rule America, is
as old as the constitution, and has been main
tained by all the early statesmen of tbe land.
It is not the proscription of the Catholic, but a
timely and salutary warning to him, that it the
influence of his church is brought into the po
litical arena, as an element of power, it will
be opposed with candor and frankness, and I
trust with success.
I come uow, gentlemen, to that portion of the
pliitfotm which disposes of the question of slave
ry. We have met it with firmness. We declare
that Congress has nothing to do with it. That
ihe constitution recognises it in three instances,
and that beyond this recognition it is a local
thing. We are not inseusible to the fact that
the bill ereoting governments in Kansas and
Nebraska has caused great agitation, and has
rendered the interposition of the conservative
men of all sections necessary to traoquilixe the
country. But how can these conservat've men
act ? Can they do anything but invoke tbe peo
nU tn aurvev once more the true character of
this question, and apply to it the old doctrine of
our tamers, tnai Slavery is a local luswuinu",
and must be regulated by the authorities having
competent jurisdiction over it? It is impossi
ble to restore the Missouri Compromise, be
cause the people of those territories have, under
exiaiinz laws, riehts which. Congress cannot
touch. No matter what may be thought of th
folly and recklessness of Mr. Pierce and his
cabinet, in re-opening the slavery question,
by the passage of the bills in question, all dis
passionate men must admit that their repeal is
now at) impossibility, or, if practicable, that the
repeal would only widen the breach between the
North and the South.
Under the treaty by which we acquired Louis
iana, slavery within its limits was placed on the
same footina- that it was in other territory of
the United States. But the South, in 1820, for
the sake of peace, consented that it might be
excluded from the country north of 3G 30. Mr.
Pierce ; and bis nullifying friends. North and
Sout$" , were not satisfied to let well enough
alone. Nothing would satisfy them but to re
open tbe qaestion, and to do so under the pre
tt-nce that the Compromise of 1860 required the
course ' thoy pursued. Now, I put it to juU
fellow citizens, and to all intelligent men in our
.v.imtry, if I am not speaking according to the
fd.r. when I assert, that if the proposition to
repeal the Missouri Compromise had been mado
i panoi tne compromise of loitu, tne wooi.
measure would have been lost. Nobody ever
lieauied that the final settlement ol the slavery
.uetiun at, that period had reference to otht-r
oiijits thau those proposed in the bill of com
promise. But it was ne,-eisary for Mr. Pierce
uoJ his adjuncts, North and South, to get np an
other agitation, and they accordingly threw out
this firebrand. The North could ay that the
pro slavery men hud violated a compact, and
canreUed the obligation to execute tho Fugitive
Slave law. The South could say that it had ol.
Uined at lean its rights, and that the nullifieru
weie victorious. What cared they for the good
ol the country, provided that the agitation gave
the to the power to m.ike a President?
With -Mr. Divis at the head of the slavery
purty, and Mr. Seward at the bead of the anti
slavery' party, how easy would it be for these
leaders to m ike a bargain and keep the politi
cians in their places. It was the old ride and
lie game. The nullifier of the North wa to
have the horse in 1856. The nullifier of the
South was to have him in I860. But, gentle
men, thip American party puts its veto on this
unhallowed attempt to convert sectional jealousy
into a permanent source of political power. I'.
tlls this new school of Democrats that it pre -lrs
to stick to the creed of Washington and
Jtcksn ; that its motto is "Our Federal Un
un must be preserved." Are we not authorised
to say that this is the true American sentiment,
and that if we adhere to it, we shall conquer and
put an end to this contest about slavery? 1
think we are.
In hurrying my remarks to a close, I think
you will agree with me when 1 say that
it was' no longer possible lor an old Jack
Hon Democrat to act with Pierce and his
friends, lie could not do so without ackoowl.
edging the lead of such men as Wise in Vir
ginia, Davis in Mississippi, Douglas in Illinois,
and Atchison in Missouri. These men are all
acting as a unit, in support of tbe modern the
ory of State rights, allowing that a State may
nullify an act of Congress, and go, out of the
Union when she pleases. They may call them
selves slavery or anti slavery men. Tbey have
a common purpose to accomplish, at the expense
of the landmarks of patriotism, as established
by those who founded and who re formed our
syste'm.
You never hear oneof these State-rights men in
Virginia talk of Madison as the exponent of the
constitutional relations between-the States and
the Federal Government. If Mr. Pierce were to
tell his Cabinet that he was determined to fall
back on Genera! Jackson's doo trine in 1832, they
would fly off as wolves do when tbe huntsmen
sound tbe note of attack and pursuit. There is
but ooe road open to the true p unot, and that
is to unite in the leading principle of the great
American party. la this manner we can elect
a President who will not disgrace the country
a iih Ostend Conferences ; in this manner w can
wipe out ths stain which has been cast upon us
of introducing a corrupt foreign influence into
our national councils ; in this manner we can
! teah those wfao eeek to us the Cathojjo vote as
I political monopoly, that whilst we respect all
the rights of .religious freedom, we know how
to disarm the advocates ol a system that makes
ihe allegiance due to tbe United States subor
dinate to that which ia due to a foreign poteq
tatt
What say you then, (rentlomen. to our olat-
fono ? Dj you not justify me in flying to it for I
relief from the coalitiou which exists between)
Mr Pierce and the Nullirjers and Abolitionists? 1
A coalition which did more to build up sec-
tiotiitl jt-ujousy and strife than any other uJnli- !
tion which has ever existed in our iaod.
tiy this coalition, nullification enjoys the '
hanors and high places of government in the
S oith, and Mr. Cushing knows how to tell his
Id Abolitionists to rest quiet that princiriTea (
are
eteriiai, and never change. II-can sav

with truth to Wilson. Sumner, and Seward, that
i.tlicesre small things, when weighed in the
balance with great measures. Let the South
have its time to day, onrs will come to-pinrrow.
It will-be impossible for the chivalrous Davis,
the self sacrificing Douglas, not to allow us the
privilege of following their example.
But we tell these Smart, higher law men that
the spirit of Washington and Jacksep is pot
extitfct, and that the people are rallying as in
the days of od, to the preservation of tbe true
principles of the constitution; that men, men,
tried Men, are taking their posts, and tht the
cry "-imtrican shall rule America" will sweep
awayie miserable jugglers, who. under the
guise of Democracy, wuuld sell the country to
the Pope of Home, provided they bave the
privilege of monopolixing nis favors.
Let pur motto, then, be, " Our Federal Uuion

GEN. WASHINGTON ON TIIR APPOINT
: MENT OF FORKIdNKRS TO OFFICE.
3lIS; LETTER DENI RDBDT;PftOVEN 1 1
The first principle in the'UctiCa of ony op-
poneU it to; deny everything.! It is, f course.
tbe eensciousnees e. lo trutn ot-tne iiw"
whwalpro'miftatha denial, ba 'many important
iastaooeev -i r If '-Ps''-i'.
' Our readers wilt recollect that in onr first is
sue we published the well known letter of Gen-
Washington to Govrneur.Morri4, in which'be
eipresees bis opinion very rreeiy ana aecmeu
ly as to the policy of appointing foreigner to
office, and of .foreign influence in this country.
We received, a few days thereafter, a letter from
a friend in a neighboring county, stating that
the authenticity of th it letter waa denied. We
confess that we were not much surprised at this
from recent manifestations. To be sure, it is a
little humiliating to indulge such reflections,
but we have bad ample cause, in this Btage of
tbe canvass, to create them. We knew that it
was an unmanly, way af meeting the argument,
to be sure, but it had been adopted.
Happening iu Raleigh, a few days since, we
saw that the Standard had also, in noticing our
existence, called in question tbe genuineness of
the letter, coupled with a very peremptory de
mand for proof. The proper documents being
ing accessible to him, we were not exactly pre
pared for this at the bands of the Standard.
Confident that the letter as published by us
was genuine, we took occasion to visit the State
library, and. through tbe politeness of tbe lib
rarian, we availed onrself of a searob " of tbe
record." - Taking down Vol VL of the Writ
ing of Washington," by Jartd Sparks, we turn
ed to page 13, where we found tbe identical letter
addressed to Gouverueur Morris. dated at
" Wblte Plains, July 24th, 1778. and opon
comparing it, found that oars, was an exact copy
except a few verbal discrepancies, wblcu do not
affect the sense of the letter, as condemning the
appointment of foreigners to offioe,. and foreign
influence. Indeed, some words left out by us
make the lettor stronger than our copy. Know
ing that owr having seen the letter would not be
admitted by any one whose prejudices would
prompt its denial in the first place, we request
ed Mr. Perry, the State Librarian, to give us a

LETTER OF GEORGE WASHINGTON TO
GUUVERNEUR MORRIS.
"Whitb Plains. 24th July, 1778.
Dia Sin: Whether you are indebted to me,
r I to you, for a letter, I know not, nor is it a
matter of much moment. The design of this is
to touch cursorily upon a subject of very great
importance to the well being of these States ;
much more so than will appear at first view. I
mean the appointment of ho mauy foreigners to
offices of high rank and trust in our service.
The lavish manner in which rank has hitherto
been bestowed on these gentlemen will certain
ly be productive of one or the other of these two
eti'.s: either to make it despicable in the eye of
Europe, or become a means of pouring them, in
upon us like a torrent, and adding to our present
burden.
But it is neither.' the expense nor the trouble
of them, that 1 most dread. There is an evil
more extensive in its nature, and fatal in its
consequences, to be apprehended, and that is,
the driving of all our own officers out of the ser
vice, and throwing not only our army, but our
military counoila, entirely into the hands of
foreigners. Tbe officers, my dear sir, on whom
you must depend for the defence of this cause,
distinguished by length of service, their connec
tion, property, and in behalf of many, I may
add. military merit, will not submit much, J
any, longer, to tbe unnatural promotion of men
over them, wbo have nothing more than a little
plausibility, unbounded pride and ambition,
and a perseverance in application not to be resis
ted but by uncommon firmness, to support their
pretensions ; men who, in the first instance, tell
you they wish for nothing more than the honor
of serving in so glorious a cause as volunteers,
the next day solicit rank without pay, the day
following want money advanced to them, and in
the course of a week want further promotion,
and are not satined with anything you can do
r them. When Z speak of officers not submit
ting to these appointments, let me be understood
to mean, that they bave no more doubt of their
i ight to resign, when they think themeelvee ag
gi is red, than they have of a power in Congress
to appoint. f
Both being granted, then, the expediency and
the policy of the measure remain to be consid
ered, and whether it is consistent with justice or
prudence to promote those military fortune hun
ters at the hazard of your army. Tbey may
ha divided into three classes, namely, : mere ad
venturers without recommendation, or recom
mended by persons who do not know how else
to dispose of or provide for them ; men of great
ambition, who would sacrifice everything to pro
mote their oirot personal glory ; or mere spies,
who are sent here to obtain a thorough knowl
edge of onr situation and circumstances, in the
execution of which, I am persuaded, some of
them are faithful emissaries, as I do not believe
a single matter escapes unnoticed or unadvised
at a foreign court. I could say a great deal oq
this subject, but will add no more at present,
I am led to give yoo, this trouble at this time
by a very handsome certificate showed to me
yesterday in favor of M. Nenville, written, II
believe by himself, and subscribed by Gen.
Pareons, designed as lam informed for a foun
dation of the superstructure-of a brigadierahip.
Baron Steuben, I now find, is also wanting to
qui t his inspectorship for a command in the line.
This will bo productive of much discontent to
Ihe brigadiers. In a word, although 1 think
the baron an excellent officer, J do most devoutly
wish thai we had not a single foteigner among
u encept the Marquis de Lafayette, who acts
ojh'O '''.' ditfereat principles from thoae which
oei n tbe rest. Adieu.
I am most sincerely yours. Ac."

"Although thi letter was written to Mr.
Morris in his private capacity, yet It was evi
dently intended to produce sn iutprution in
Congress, Washington was exceedingly em
barrassed by the foreign officer, who were admit-w-d
into the service by Congrsee, and then turn
ed over to him to be provided withempioyment,
thus deranging the system of the army, and in
lerfering with native officers-"
There is the proof, Mr. Standard, as prompt
ly as you demanded it. That theletter is so
strong, snd so pointedly against yoti as to call
forth the denial, is evidence tolerably conclusive
that you felt iu authority against jour party,
and in favor o( the American party.

of the v13th lust.,-1 ee,; among other
ehaite aftd libera! articles again-t' the riwr
Nothings, .one from correspondent tf ; that
paper ia Chatham-, introduced bjnditorial j
in IloUen's nual braggart tyle.-"' y'-'X
I propose, Mr. Editor, tossy a few words in
connexion with the topics embraced in those
articles. .'
Hear, then,8ome of Holden's words : " One
of the favorite. tricks of certain members of the
dark lantern conspiracy is to circulate rumors
that such and such Democrats have insidiously
and sneaking ly joined the order; and this is
done for the twofold purpose of magnifying the
order of such Demo irate, and of injuring their
standing in the public estimation, with their
party friends." If this is the case, if Demo
crats have done as above stated, who will blame
them for circulating such rumors ? Who would
blame the K. N.'a for taking their boots away
from their seats of honor?
I would inform Mr. Ilolden that this is no
" trick ;" it is a bona fide operation one that
probably deters certain individuals from joining.
Neither is the K. N. party a "dark lantern
conspiracy." It is a party having at heart the
prosperity and perpetuity of this Union toat
frowns indignantly upon such disorganize as
Hale, Sumner, Ilolden, et id dntne genus. Tbe
balance I shall not dispute.
" Where is the manhood of the old Whig
party ?" Probably it took it departure with
Mr. Ilolden, at the time the "glittering prospect
charmed his eye." The Standard man asks,
" What would Henry Clay say, if be were here,
to these midnight prowlers?" Ah 1 yes, what
would yon say to him ? Would ou not "pour
out your whole soul for him ?" Would you not
turn yourself wrong side out, and with your
gizzard cheer biro for what you think, or rather
hope, he would say ? Yea, verily.
Now, Mr. Editor, for a man, who, at one
time, whenever he thought of Henry Clay,
"feltlike pouringouthis wholesouHorhim," and
wbo, at another time, for some change probably,
heaped upon him any amount of vituperation
and scurrilous abuse, and then, at another time,
whilst engaged in heaping abuse and false
hoods upon a party that would spurn him from
them as they would a viper, to insult his mem
ory by even supposing that he would, if here,
jdin him in his filthy tirade against this party of
aa pure patriots as ever breathed, ia what I did
not expect to see even in the quarter whence
the spectacle is presented.
So far as the Standard's correspondent is
concerned, I deeply regret the report in circu
lation, not so much on his account, however,
as on account of the party to which he is said
to have attached himself. If tbe Standard's
correspondent he such a Democrat as Holden
says, he should be astonished at the report ;
and "a just regard for his character as a man "
should prompt him to speedily hush it up. I
regret, too, that the old gentleman, from some
whim incident to age, has selected the Standard
as the medium through which his "card" should
" astonish the natives." To call upon the
Standard to brand anything as a falsehood is
like calling upon the devil to repreve Bin.
But the Standard's correspondent " never
joined tbe dark lantern concern, never thought
of doing so and never w ill, so help me God,"
and keep bim steadfast. Fie, fie, Mr. Correspon
dent; you should notswear. Don'tyouknnwthat
your high Priest Romulus, assisted by your bell
weather Billy, says that "oaths administered by
any other than a Judicial officer are not bind
ing?" I presume that you do, from the alac
rity with which you take one, believing that,
should you violate it, they would absolve you.
This correspondent, in the fervor of his pat
riotism, thinks that be would "dishonor the
blood of his illustrious ancestors, if he allied
himself to tbe old federal blue-lights." Now
this thing of talking about one's blood is all
gammon in this country. Any body can boast
of bis blood. I am curious to know, however,
if he did'nt forget his illustrious birth and blood,
when he voted for that obsequious panderer to
every faction and ism Franklin Pierce ?
"I am a democrat from principle ami shall
never desert the party." That is, until they
refuse to divide the five loaves and two fishes.
He desire thia country to become the asylum
of all nations, where "all," paupers and crim
ir.als, catholics and infidels, rogues andiliare,
and in fact, all of the "laxy, louey. Godless,
Christless set" of the waste population of the
world may find a home.
"My confidence is unshaken," concludes this
celebrated Card" for God ts greater than
the Devil." None, I presume, save eome of
those who belong to the waste population of tbe
earth, deny this. There are a few, however,
that could dispute superiority with his Satanic
Majesty himself, in the way of falsehood and
abuse.
By way of relief to the great anxiety of mind
manifested by Messrs Ilolden and Correspon
dent, tbe exceeding great fears betrayed, lest
they, and others, in an unlucky moment, fall into
some of the pits of the Know Nothings, I will im
part a little information, which may or may not
have the desired effect :
I understand that among the many teat ap
plied by the Order to the candidates, there is
one which will most effectually bar the entrance
of some into the Order. It is this : '-We will
not, under any ciroum stances, receive into this
Order an old man ic his dotage, a libellar, nor
a fool." CHATHAM.
A LESSON FROM ROYALTY.
toyi
yalty may be quoted at a premium in Ens?
land at present. Prince Albert has recovered
hi popularity, much periled last year by the
public suspicion that he interfered in foreign
politics. Tbe Duke of Cambridge having shown,
in the Crimea, some of tbe gallantry in which,
troth to say, none of his family bare ever been
deficient, has won the heart of John Bull, and
it loudly caeered whenever he is recognized in
public. Qaeen Victoria, casting away some of
the etiquette which baa hitherto too strongly
drawn a line of demarcation between the sove
reign and the people of England, has distribu
ted, with her own hand, the war-medals to the
naval and military combatants of rank, from
the General to the drummer, who distinguished
themselves in the present war.
Thie may or may not be set down, according
to the temper and feelings of the person who re
flects, to a royal desire to win popularity cheap
ly. Not ao an incident related by the English
newspapers, and which, alike creditable to tha
position and sex of the individual, we bave plea- j
sure in drawing attention to here. The Royal
household, at Buckingham Palaoe, includes ,
large number of domestics and other attendants, !
many of whom are married. It came to the !
knowledge of (Jueen Victoria, that of a. large
proportion of their children the sduoation was '
very generally negieoiea. one bad suitable 1
premises fitted up as a school near the Palace
and appointed as teachers gentleman of tried
experience and known ability. Already as many
as sixty-six children of both eeee are being ed
ucated in this establishment and an evening
school has also been got op for the instruction
of the elder children, who are unable to attend
during the day. The whole expense of these
schools ia defrayed by the Queen herself.
The cost may be but small. The example ie
great and good. When the Sovereign thus per
sonally interests herself in the elevation of the
youthful mind, by educational means, other
influential parties in England a country where
imitation of even Royal vices has been earried
to excess are not likely to lag behind. The
example will be generally followed, no doubt,
and nothing but good can result from it, What
Victoria baa done in this matter deserve praise
aa kind, proper and womanly. It may appear
a small matter, but will probably exerniaa a
L large influence. . It ia a thoughtful and a kindly
act, gracefully and suiUblx performed. '

his consort. Queen Adelaide, limited her oar
of the Royal Household to the issue of an ukase
ordtininjr that the household must wear cotton
instead of lute-string dresses ! Victoria, against
whose moral character even suspicion has never
raided a whisper, takes the pains to inquire
into the eduoational wants of her household,
and promptly provides the suitable remedjr
At the present crisis, when, as it appears to
ue. the politico-social portion of England is on
the eve of. if it ha not already entered into, a
transition state, it is:a good thing to find the
Sovereign gracefully and spontaneously deyot
ing herself, eyea in such a comparatively small
matter as that which we record, to the moral and
intellectual advancement of a class of person
with whom, from relative position, she is In
some way connected as a sort of mater familku.
This is not a matter of Stats policy. It is a
thing wholly personal to the individual, and,
we are free to admit, not unwarranted by tbe
