Tliere is a shrine for some divinity or
other in every human heart. ln this respect
the Amei'ic.aus are uiade pretty much like '
the rest of us. They have not much rever-
pope. In fact, their political engagemciits
have rather cut them otit of the old litshionetl
c.ii'cle.. But set them once fl‘t‘£(‘., try tht-in on
a little. new ground, and their innate loyalty
will come out as strong as their owntrivt-rs
and falls. Jenny Lind, after flitting abotit
F.ui'ope as free as a lurk, jilting klllglz‘-l'lS,
;-tiitors and opera lessees, has lighted on the l
New \'Vorld, and made it her own. The?
Caribs were not more awe struck at the
landing of Coliiiubits, than the Y-.inkct's at
the advent of Jenny Lind. Our own coun-
trymen were mad euotigli in all "L‘0llS('lt:!llL‘L‘,
considering that, of the multiiiides who i'av-
cd about Jenny, not one in ten had licariil a
note of her voice; arid though she sang for
charities, she C€l‘lilll‘.ly did not sing to “ the
million.” The A mcri-carts, liowever, beat tis
out and out in the pitch of their devotion, be-
fore it soul oftliem had seen hot‘.

Tut; News by this arrival has its point of
greatest interest in Germany. Elsewhere
-)‘~.'enlS drag slowly forward, but there they
are moving with pregnant rapidity. The
ililector of I-lesse-Cassel and his Miiiister,
llcsseiipfltig, after having abandoned their
‘posts bi-lore the legal and orderly resistance
of the people and inagistrttcy to their revolu-
zionary and despotic measures, have returned

at W-‘illicliiisliad, a snittil frontier town ofthe
lilec'tor’s rloiuitiions, within hailing distance
of Fraiikfort, where the effigy of the old
ft}-*0U'fe(‘lCl't13l0D setup under the auspices of
.'kustria, has its seat. On their way to their
new capital the Prince and Minister passed
througn Frankfort, antl took counsel with
their Austrian friends, whose inspirations
they have followed through the whole affair.
They are now in a convenient place either
to fly ifnecessary, or to figlit should Austria
decide to push matters to that point.
Prussia, on its part, to avoid all appear-
ance of interfering in the case, has withdrawn
all its troops froiti near the frontiers ofthe
Electorate. For the rest, the Government
at Berlin are pursuing the same system of
inactivity and delay which for the past year
has earned them the contetnpt of earnest men
of all parties in Germany, while it has added
no redeeming fact to their unenviable repu-
tation abroad. There ‘is neither necessity
nor an occasion for armed intervention in
ilesse Hassel; the people are animated by a
spirit of order and legality, which reflects the
tloiu of the Democratic leaders by whom they
are directed ; and there is now no force
threatening to OVt3l".lll'0\\‘ them. But surely
it is not too much to ask that Prussia should
throw its influence upon the Sitlu of the Cen-
stitution and laws which the Elector, urged
on by his uiasters, and S(.‘l'\'E‘(l by his tools,
has vainly attempted to destroy. But Prus-
sia docs notliiug of the kind, and the Consti-
tutional party of that country are full of
shame and sorrow at the fact.
The real qtiai'rcl in the case is between

and to whom we are indebted for the valua-
ble meteorological reports which rt-gularly
appear in the Journal, contended himself
with it description of the meteor, and did not
go into the theory of its cause and object.-
This is explained in the Boston Evening
Journal, which informs us of the “ remarka-
ble coincident.” Just at the moment ol the
plienomemen Jenny Lind was looking
through a telescope at the Cambridge Obser-
vatory. Tlie inst.-int that her eye touched
the instrument the whole heavens flaslied——
that the meteor blazed in her honor nobody
doubts. The only questoin is wlietlier it
was a voluntary coruscation on the part of
the stars in acknowledgment of the extraor-
dinary honor conferred upon them, or
whether it was ‘‘:got up’ by Barnum : The
theory that it was caused by the brilliancy of
Jenny Liud‘s eye, concentrated through the
telescope, can hardly be regarded as worthy
of refutation. Besides being uriphilosophical,
this explanation partiakes too much of the
fulsome adullation which has been shower-
ed upon the fair Swede. Indeed, it goes al-
most as far as the address lately made to her
by a Boston dignitary-—P'rqv. Jowrnal.

AN OLD FARMICR.
A Lost C/iild Eound.—Some five years
since a poor woman of the name of Moore,
sent her child, then about eiglityears of age,
to the grocery, since which time all attempts
to find her whereabouts has proved abortive,
A few days since the now grown up girl was
recognized by one of her old play mates, in
a grocery store upon an errand from the fain-
ily in which she resided asa domestic. Her
play mate asked her why she did not go
home to her parents, she burst into tears and
replied that she did not know where to find
them-—tliat they were dead, &.c. The
young il'lt'n(l viatched her to her place of
residence, in Eighth street, and urged her to
go home. The mother being apprised of
the circumstances, immediately sought out
her child, who gives the following history
of her case. VVhen she first ap_)t-oaclied the
grocery she was accosted by 3 man who en-
ticed her to go with him in a wagon. She
lived with his family (they had no children)
near Tarrytowu upu aids of two years, when
they packed up their goods a‘nd were going
to live out west. She did notwish to go and
fled to a neighboring farmer's house, where
she foui.d protection and a hottie. She re-
mained hpwards of two years with tnis faui,
ily, when she came t) the city, and was liv-
iug as a domestic when discovered as describ-
bed. _The mother and father could not recog-
nize the child,but the child at once recogiiizcd
them. Their happiness was complete.

sembled at Hart l'-it'd, strikes us as having been
somewhat peculiar. Tliepfe had been‘ bored

ers of the defunct Free Soil party. to form a
distinct political 'i'einpei‘nuce orgaiiiziitioii,

ing that portion of the community who do not
entertaiii precisely the same opiuioiis wliicli
//icy profess to hold, and in using big tlireateu-
lug words against such,
“ All sounding fury signify nothing.”
Almost every town in the State is infested
with such vermin, and the Convention wits
obliged to yield sonietliiug to their peitiiittcity.
Accordingly, they vi-ry liiiidly, took the Senate
under their especial cliarge mid appointed xi
committee of three in ‘each Senatorial district
to superintend the morals ofthe future Senato-
rial candidiites. This movement we consider
simply funny——-an agreeable sop thrown to the
ultrttowliercbyii few oftliem might rejoice in the
title of ‘fcoiiiinittee man for the—tho District"
and the rest hope to attain the same distin-
guished honor another year. -
Seriously, this whole effort to connect tem-
peranco with politics can generate nothing but
mischief. but as it is idle to reason with men
of one idea. as our experience with itbolitionists
and free soilers abundantly attests, we shall
make no attempt to argue the Temperance
ultras out 0.‘ their crotcliets. A few years, at
furtherest, will show the emptiness of the de-
lusion. which supposes that men can be forced,
by the application of political screws. to be
either sober or pious. For the present, let it
have its way ; it will be ratlicr it litirniless tif-
fair, and will probably afford some amusement
in its progress.

It: ‘is reported of John VII! Baron (and it 1
sounds so much like “ Prince John,” that I
would be willing to vouch for the truth of the
report)—-that on being strongly urged in 1648
by a celebrated Dcctor of Divinity of Troy to 8
stand by free soil, he replied. " My dear Doc-
tor, I shall stand by it or lie by it.” How fully.
even to the very letter, he has redeemed his
pledge to the Reverend gentleman, it is now
almost needless to relate. More unblushingly ~
impudent lies were never toltiby a faithless
political demagogue to a credulous people than-
were uttered by John Van Buren in his pro-
fessions of‘devotion ‘far the cause of liumutr
freedom. Nor is there much hazard in saying
that he will live long enough to see the fulfill-
ment of his prophecy. The people will not
raise him from the political grave in which his
free soil 'ios buried.‘ Look at the record, and
examine the facts of the case. ,
In the year 1847, John Van Btiren walked
out of ti. State Cenvention at the head of his
troops because of the refusal of that Conven-
lion to. adopt the Jetl'ersoiiian Ordinance its one-'
of the carditial principles of the democratic
creed, and again in 1848 by speech, pen and
vote, bitterly opposed the i'e.gtiliii' nominees of
his party for the Presidency and Vice Presi-
dency because they were not in favor of pro-
liibiring by Legislative enactment, the further
extension ofchattle slavery. He declared that
the deuiocriitic party was dissolved byirensoin
of subseiviciicy to the slave-power, and set
hiiuself to work \vitli others to construct a new
party which should be the especial cliampion
of liuinau freedom and liunian progress. He
was the chief ii rcliitect and builder ofthe Buf-
falo Platform, and after its erection. stood
thereon side by side with Giddings, Adams, the
'l‘ttppnn-s, ai.d all of t:l'ie. other older abolition
eiitlnrs. And yet this saine man in the year
1850 re-enters it .Deinoci'ntic C(fl)Vellll0ll which
by its resoltttious, " coiigmttilates the country
upon the recent settleuieiit by Congress ofthe
questions which have uiiliiippily divided the

to the great principles of the deniocratic party
of the Uuioii its dt.-cliii-etl at the National Dem-
ocrtitic Coiiveiitioiis of 1840 and 1848.” Let
it be borne in iniiitl that in this ‘* settlement,"
the Jelfcisotiiziii (.)rdiuauce was voted down in
both Houses of Congress; Governments were
framed for our newly acquired territories
without any guaraiity wliatever against the in-

Now, it: was after this, open and avowed
abiiudoiitneiit of the prinsiples of free soil by
John Van Burcn and his co-laborers that the

the last six years. Is it any wonder that their
request was not complied with? As it more
matter of policy, to say nothing of principle,
such it course would have been stticidul. The
Whig partynt. that time stood before the coun-
successfully the vievsnnd designs of the South
in respect. to Slavery. Ifthen we have aban-
doned the high ground ofopposition to slavery
wlienever at wherever we could constitutionally
oppose it. we not only could have rallied
free soilers who are now flocking to it, but we
should have tlriveti away thousands in disgust,
who have always been firm and true because
they saw that (lie IV/iig party was the true
liberty party. This was trlearly seen by the
convention, and the result of the election, I am
puisuatlod, will vindicate the course taken by
the l'i'ie.nds and supporters of Senator Sewiirtl.

There is no dsiuger in de entriliztition in taking
power away from the few and giving it to the
tnaiiy. lftliere is, then the whole theory of
our governnient is wrong, and we should at
once go back to the monnrchical and ttristoci'ttt-
