We hang our poor harp on The willow tree here, To all of us wishing A happy new year A year of good things for The HEn.Fr>L and Ni.:ws For himself,-the Carrier, His annual dues: The Greanhess of China. China is in the same latitude with ns, having similar varieties of cli i tte. As we have the Atlantic so they have the Patifiv ocean. As we have thirty eight States, so they are di i-led into eight provinces. As the State of Massachusetts has its own no. tions and p. d liarities that difior much from those of South Carolina, so these provinces have their pecular 1-ies, and we ttudy theni in whole and in parts. As we have governor t, so they have victroys ; but these rdle tWo princes. As we have a few first class cities, so they number theirs by hund (ds,if not by thousands. As we have forty millions, so they have 'ioarly four hundred millions, and are about ten time.s as p.pulous. We propose to speak of tho greatness of China, under different heads. Clhi'a is great in her anti - Iity. Founded before Nineveh or Egyptb, she still exists. Before Roniilu built the walls of Rome, be fore Salnu-el anointed Saul to be king over Isra-el, she Was a Vastly.extendled, mighty empire. Her reoords reach back for four thousand years. Before Colutnbus was born, a canal twelve hundred niles long was finished. Their great wall, covered with granite has been built twenty centuries. While we Americans were barbarians --before the days of Alfred the Great -while our anclstors were savages, the merest ptebiAns of Chirn were clothed ib silkh and satins. Visited by Marco Polo in 1250, the first 1Euro pean traveler wvho ever saw them, and who told about their civil itation, their silks, their porcelainis, and their wonderful eities, he~ was pronounced insane and the greatest liar of his ago. It is only lately we have re cognized him as a truthful traveler. Then China is great and almost un rivelled among nations in her age and She is also great in discoverica. T1he fruit of her, genius science, and investigation. Secluded from the world, she studied thietn out alone. Printing, gunpbwtlet, the marien's compass, porelain, thd making of pa per, irndia.ink to stamp it-such die. coveri sa would mako any nation proud, and immn~rtalite any people. Printing on wooden blooks she itiven ted in the year 177 of the Christain era ; we invented printing 1450). In the eighth century she had flfty~thiree thousand old, and twcnty-eight thou sand new wvorks in her public library. The mariner's compase, withrtut which America eould not, have been disov. dred or dur nation have any exists tenee, we owe to Obina. A people nmak ing such great sand ut eful discdveries so early must be a great and interest. ing people. She is also gi-eat In her mnanufacto ries. Her silk fabrics she invented as original, and in beauty, durability. and excellence they oannot bd equall ad or surpss.ed: Hludreds of years later they were made in France and Italy; but thesde cannot compare with those of Obia The Q'ueen's' dia thiond nitat :be cut in, Holland, and yet the ett *as well kgnown In Ohiha for oetittiries.

Cor tainly the contrast in civilization is in many points in favor of China. Grent in her system of laws and langitage..

Rome tooni her place and strode over a v)rostrato World. Slit ruled with an imperious sway. Or'g bearing, haughty, sho despised the barbaiian and before that terrible horde her imperial sway perished. All mn~ are our brothers, all are co. dI boers with us in thi emancipation of the world. We pass over the ocean, tell China she belongs to the brotherherbood of nations, and her open porte and valuable commerce will be our rich reward. Christiani. ty must triumph. With all her faults America is the grand Protestant no tiun of the world, sad we are rising up to our true position. We no longer wrangle about miuor mutters, and the hosts of our Christian ranks are be. coming united. A stronger bond of religioa and fellowship awaits us. Our money is poured out like water for noble and charitable objects. The mi-sionary is better understood and m1ore highly appt-eCiated. Closely united by odmmerce, by telegraph u ih other la n ds, our missionary friends and chidren are not beyond our re:ach. A stroug uuited govern in ent at home, we speak, and Turkey, Iudia4, China, know that we are a power upon the berth. ''he bright croos appears in the heavens, "in hoe signo vincc." A greater than Con ptantine in marching to univereal son. qudit., autl under cur immaculate king, a nziversal Christian empire will surely prevail.

Eleition by Bayonet, TO THE VtOPL Or iTs sZAt&Z 6s DELAWARE. As one of your representatives in the Congrefes of the United Stattasand a citizen of the State of Delaware, I wrote and sent the annexed letter to the President of the United States on the day that it bears date, and have received no reply. The election has been held, and the good sense and virtue of our people have spoken in unmistakable todes of rebuke to Federal offers, irith their negro allies, and shameless attempts al iitiiidation and fraid. But let us not, in the glow of our heartfelt triumph, forget the dangerous inta sions to our political liberties propos ed, and, in some degree, practised by Federal usurpation. Tlie presence ot armed soldiers at our elections is inconsistent with that perfect freettota *hich is essentils to elbations, and without whioh they are but fraudulent delusions. Nearly two hundred years-ago ad English ntatute compelled the remov al of all soldiers, at least one day before an election, from the places wheure siden electi-d was to be hold and mtbseqtient, laws hivd increased the safeguards of thb otilieti ftroni military interferetce with their free eleotions. "Among the breaches of trust i our executive masgistrate" which Looke ranks "asa dissolution of the government' are the enployment of the force, treasure, and ogioes- of so ciety to corrupt the representatived or openly pre-engage the electiond and presoribe what manner of persons shall be chosen'-and to act thus, he says, 'is but to out iip the Govern ment by the roots add poison the very foudtain of Oublic seourity.'" The Executive of the Unitdd dtated has openly beeh guilty qf tile bioach. es of trtist statbd by Locke in his great eisay on Goerffiefit to aithiint to "a dissolution of the Govern. ment," and although his plans have in great part failed, yot hiis proposi tions are so fradght with danger to the liberties of our people, that I feel it to be my duty to inform rny fellow citizens of what I have done by way of protest against such invasions. I earnestly trust that mon of alt parties may see the necessity of re sisting at the very threshold these tentative stops of military ambition. T. F IAYARD.
