Wanted I A New Declaration of Indepen- , deuce. It is high time, we respectfully sub- mit,-jt is high time we had another Declaration of Independence, for the crowned heads of Europe, and such of they; subjects as we are daily coming iu toniaa wun. seem rapiuiy iorgetttug lh;it the United States claim to be their owfi owners. -; Say what we may to the contrary, our nationality is last losing its identity. New York, iu many essential respects, it 3 a melancholy fact, is much more of a ioieign than an American ci ty. Foreigners, banded together in mil itary organizations, waveaheir green and red flags over our beads, while for eign "priests, and foreign politicians, ow ing allegiance to foreign potentates, claim . territorial jurisdiction over the soil under our feet. The foreign emissaries of for eign governments, open recruiting of ces before our very eyes; to enlist troops for a foreign war. Our Alms , Houses are filled with foreigners. The honest, hard working American mechanic and laborer, who would rather rot, than rob to get into the Penitentiary, just for the sake of being fed and lodged there who would die rather than go to the Alms House has to pay rumously high rent to his landlord, because his landlord is largely taxed tosupport the standing ar mies of stalwart mendicants, with which the bankrupt, corrupt; and dishonorable governments ot the old world are con stantly invading us. These, foreigners not only govern, or assume to govern us, on our own soil, but they impose grievous contributions upon our exchequer billet their beg gars upon us and to all intents and purposes, look upon us, and treat us pre cisely, as if the United States of Ameri ca were but some petty province, with a people so used to impositions and in sults, that resistance has sunk into sub mission, and remonstrance into acquies cence. JLet those timid souls, therefore, - who quake and quiver at what they af fect to think the too rapid and dange rous progress of "Americanism" through out the land, take heart. Their fears, so far, are groundless." The foreigners, as yet, have the best of us, and are like ly to keep . the ascendancy, for a long while to come. America docs not -rule America just yet. Not only are we, in a great part, ruled by the subjects of the Queen of Great Britain, but the King of Sardinia volunteers what he can, to govern us. " He sends his "paupers here by the ship "load, and being here but a short while, they are used by cunning politicians as good material to oppose " Americanism" -and American principles. To get these paupers off his hands, and compel us Americans to work to support them, we have been told that they were not beg gars, but political exiles. Knowing the generous sympathies the American people have ever enter- , taiued for exiles of that class, for men who have from time to time been expa triated from their native land, perchance for a too "often and evident attachment to liberal principles, these unprincipled governments of continental Europe, pre- " sume to pawn off upon us the sick, the lame, the halt, the blind, and the idiotic even, thinking we are disposed to put up with such shameful . insults forever. The Emperor Napoleon helps tortile,. ..-and helps to tax us, through the same channel of beggar immigration. - So do the petty princes of most of the German States. And so does Switzerland. Look, for example, at the record in this very day's ' paper, and say whether it is not time high - time that something be done to resist trfts filthy flood of for ignism, which, under the special su pervisioiv of the despots of Europe, large and small,. is rushing and rolling in upon us, threatening in time to sap " and sweep away whatever of native sentiment, or native feeling, native prin ciple, is still left uncontaminated among US. Now, then, how long are we to put up with this state of things ? How long are the petitions of the people to be laid on the table, or contemptuously flung under it, on the pretext that the Amer icans are engaged in a crusade against Foreigners 1 How long is the senseless cry of " Hindoo ? to silence the righteous 'demands of a too uncomplaining and .long suffering people 7 Are the " For eigners " to have nothing? Is Europe to have a general jail delivery, . at our expense, without granting us the poor privilege of a protest 1 . Are we to have the hospitals and alms-houses of Italy, Germany and Switzerland, emptied at our doors, and, remonstrating, be told that the 44 Know Nothings " must be put down ? If so, gentlemen of the Foreign Party, let us have an understanding at once,--and we are ready for the issue. DREADFUL DEATH. On Thursday morning last Mrs. Rodgers, who resides in the 17th ward, near the Cath olic church cent her bod Milton, a small boy, to the bakery after a loaf of bread. On the way the boy was. bitten by a dog. Milton ran home and dressed the wound he bad received.- On Friday n:ght about two .o'clock the mother waa awakened by the boy tear ing the bed clothes and scratching his face. The mother endeavored to pacify him, but the boy groaned the harder and became ' more and more furious. A light was struck, whi n the mother discovered her boy frothing and foam in at the mouth. In these spasms he died about three o'clock. His leg, after death, was found to be black from bis hip down, apd very much swollen. 'Cin. Gax.

Mr. Brown, the Dngointin of the United Slates Lrgiition. kindly procured for us a ': rnian nnd sftot hia own revasse to leaus. The govcriirnent sent another, so that w! were tvcll provided wilh an escort. Several ladies joined our party, nnd added laryeiy to the pleasure of that delightful nnd interesting Jay. x . ' . Where the Golden Ilorn'ee'a up from the Eosphorus the old ciry of Dyzamiuin stood, and Mohammed II. selected this unrivalled site lor his palace, and laid out the grounds nnd prepared a residence that had no equal iii Hie Eastern world. Armed sentirieU ad mitted us hy the great pavilion, which is cal led the Porte a. gnte and Irom this tho Ottoman Empire takes its name. Fifty men are the usual guard at this door. We were at once in' the midst of a vast courtyard, (ilia whole palace grounds are three milts in cit cnit,) and passing across it we were conduct' ed into ihe palace. A flight of euira brought us to the audience-chamber, a wide apart ment, carpetled and sorroundi-d with si rirh divan. The throne-room was furnished with chairs nnd sofas, showing a conformity to Western customs. Another nnd another chamber, nnd wo en tered the Sultan's bath luxuriously fitted up. but without some tf the contrivances lor comlort which poorer people enjoy. A brass bar across a door we were pausing told ns, or at least the guides inlbimed us. that thi was the entrance to the harem. No proliirin foot may cross that threshold. No man but the husband is allowed to enter ihe Turk' apartments for his wives. But along gallery opening near waa now entered, hung un onu side with engravings, chiefly of Napoleon's battles; and on the other eide a row of win dows looked out on the court. This is tho hall in which the hundred and fifty wives of the Sultan ure daily assembled for the amusement of their common lord. Here each one of them may exert Iter unto win his favor; and it ia said that he drops hia handkerchief at the feet of the one who has been the most successful. Through this hall we were led along ta the private armory of ihe Sultan, and whiles admiring the pistols, sword., dirkn. yataghan, cirnelers sabres, etc., of elegant workman ships, adorned with gold nnd prccioua Hone?, my .atlenlion was railed to an adjoining apartment, the Sultan's bedchamber. Tho janizaries with bayoneted guns flood be lore the open door, and permitted me to lock in, but not enter. It whs reported among the company in the other room that gentlemen were not allowed to go in; and ihe indies; presuming on their privilege, hastened to step in, but the crowed guiw ol the guards brought th'em to u sudden halt on the thresh old. We could see the magnificent, couch and its gold and crimson damask canopy, and the sumptuous furniture of the chamber, where the most uneasy man in the Turkish empire has o'ipii sought in vain for sleep, that comes u n wooed lo him who earns it with the sweat of his brow, and docs not wear a crown. In the gardens of (he palace, nnd near ihe water's edge, are many beautiful bul small cottages, which from time to time have been erected at the desire of one or another of ihe Stilton's favorite wives. Kilted up according; to Ihe taste of each fair inmate, we could see in the low windows that open on the walks that Ihey were very eh'gant and very orien tal. The Sultan has the range of them till, as cages in which hi pet birds aie confined. And then we gathered some flower, lor in the last of December '.he roues were in full bloom in the open air, und every thing ivas fresh and green as May. Underneath the palace was the kitchen, and fires going ns il an army were io be led Irom the great ranges and furnaces on which the. dinner was even now cooking. Some of the pastry was serv ed lo uh, and proved to be excellent, though we did eat it in the kitchen. Von Hammer saya that there are nine sev eral kitchens,-and that foiiy thousand oxen ure yearly Kineu Here anu COOkeu. 2!1U anecp daily, 100 lambs or goats, and 650 ihivls. Hut the Sultan does not reside in the Seraglio; he is at one ofhis many palaces along the Bosphorus, and the cooking now iu process was merely for the retainers of ihe palace. His future residence will be iu ihe marble palace on the Bosphorus. A thousand horses stand in the royal sta bles, which we passed on our way out ; nnd the harness and trappings, covered with jew elry, arc displayed in a room over the stall-'. It required an hour lo look through the old armory, containing one of the rarest and richest collections of helmets, graces. brca6t plates in form of stars, guns ol strange pat terns, in uae belbre locks were invented, nnd implimcnta of war now ol solete, but terribly effective in their day, and very curious now. The stacks ofarma all ready for use were fast diminishing hy the daily demand for the war; and probably come of the poor fellows that came on ihe teamer with we were by this time equipped from this armory and marching to ihe field. In a gallery was a collection of the fa mous swords of successive Sultans, from the splendid Damascus blade of Mohammed II. Here, too, are the keys of all ihe cities of Turkey, mounted with gold, nnd deposiied in token of their lealty to the Porte.

Dr. Scudder, on fiis return from his mission in India, after a long absence, was standing on the deck ot a steamer, with his son, a youth,' when he heard a gentleman using loud and profarc lan guage. " See friend," said the doctor, accosting the swearer, this boy my son was born and brought up in a hea then country, and a land of Pagan idol atry ; butjn ali bis life he never heard a man blaspheme his Maker until now." The man colored, blundered out a sort of an apology and moved away, looking not a little ashamed of himself. II there is any custom more silly than dueling it is that of swearing. BACON. 1 f IIHDS.
