COMING REFORMS.-lu 1821,Talleyrand, iu
the French Chamber of Peers, defended the
liberty of the press, then imperiled by the
violence of a party restored to power not
long before, in iuugnage which Congress?
men may well gravely consider. He said:
"There is some one who hus more intelli?
gence tbau Voltaire, more iutelligence than
Bonaparte,more intelligence tuan each of the
directors, than each of the ministers, past,
present and to come. Tbatsomeone is every?
body. To engage in, or least to persist in a
struggle against what, according to general
belief, is a public iutorest. is a political
fault, and at this day all political faults are
dangerous." . .
We observe with wonder the formatiou of
those leagues in favor of high tariffs which,
under various specious names, are beiug
formed iu manufacturing districts. They
are, palpably, organizations of capital
against the interests ot' labor, and they are
provokiug controversies which will array
the masses agaiust the capital thus em?
ployed. It is idle to pretend that the exi?
gency of tho public debt requires the conti?
nued imposition of the enormous duties
which make the necessaries of life to-day as
expeusive as were the luxuries of the rich
some ten years siuce.
Everybody bas learned that these enor?
mous duties do not increase the revenue of
the country. Everybody knows that the ?
obstacle which they oppose to tho commerce
aud industry of the country delays signally
the rapid decrease of the national debt. I
Everybody knows that such duties enrich ?
the manufacturer, whoso wares are thus eu- !
hanced in value, aud impoverish the Go?
vernment and its citizens. Everybody feels
that the clear statements of Mr. Wells, the j
United States Special Commissioner of Re
venue, weighty as they are, fall short of a j
thorough exposition of the radical mischiefs !
to which they refer, and deal more leniently
than they ought with tho machinery which
has prodnced such pernicious results. And
it is no less obvious that everybody, feeling
the inconvenience and oppression of a taxa?
tion so profitless to the nation, and realizing
that tho party creeds of the da}' aro now
without practical significance, is making
ready to support some new movement
founded upon a purpose to reform legisla?
tion now oppressing industry in all its
walks. - Urdtimore Sun.
BAGGAGE.-It has just been decided ia
the Supreme Court that travelers must
withdraw their baggage from the keeping
of railroad companies upon arrival; that
the companies are under no obligation to
store tho baggage, and aro not liable for its I
loss if "not removed within a reasonable)
time." As this is very different from tho ;
system in Europe, European travelers
should especially take notice of it. Our
railroads, of course, are rim on too hifalutin !
a scale for the managers to think of such a
trifle as accommodating the public on the

! THE WAH IN N?W ZEALAND.-Tho bloody
struggle between tho English settlers ana
the natives, in the island of New Zealand,
may Be considered-as about concluded. Vic?
tory, of course, remains with civilization
the settlers nave absolutely conquered the
savages. Tba terrible massacre of the whites
at Poverty Bay, some four or five months
since, started tbe conflict. Boused to despe?
ration and vengeance, the English popula
lotion, left unaided by the departure of all
the troops for Britain, concentrated their
little strength and boldly penetrated the
country of tho natives, found and destroyed
the savage strongholds, and conquered a
peace by capture aud slaughter. It was not
only a single band or tribe of the natives
that had risen in rebellion-the entire island
was the theatre of war. Thc most vigor?
ous measures were adopted, and theso have
prevailed. The principal chief of the sa?
vages, a most blood-thirsty niau, (tho insti?
gator of the Poverty Bay horror,) was shot
iuau engagement, and with him expired the
hopes of his followers. Some 150 or 200
prisoners now remain in the hands of the
colonists. Many deni aud the execution of
the whole number, but others, whose coun?
sel will likely prevail, bay that civilization
and bumauity protest against such a whole?
sale taking of lite. Still, even these lattei
hardly kuow what to do with the captives.
Hoid them as prisoners they cannot, aud tc
allow them their liberty seems a defeating
of just retribution. The chances are, how?
ever, that their lives will not be takeu.

WHAT IB AN OLD MAID?-Never be afraid
of beooniin? an M??& maid," fair reider.
An old maia is far moro honorable than a
heartless wife; and "na^fe blessedness" is
greatly superior, in point of happiness, to
wedded life without wedded love. "Fall
not in love, dear girls, beware," says the
song. "But we do not agree with the said
song on thia question. On the contrary, wo
bold that it ia a good thing to fall in love,
if tho loved object bo a worthy one. To fall
in love with au honorable man is as proper
as it is for an honorable man to fall in love
with a virtuous and amiable woman; and
what could be a more gratifying spectacle,
oven to tho angels iu Heaven, than a sight
so pure-so approaching in its devotion to
tho celestial?
No! fall iu love as soon as yon please, la?
dies, provided it bo with a suitable person.
Fall iu love aud then marry; but never
marry unless 3*011 do love. That's the great
point. "Never marry merely for "a home,"
or "a husband." Never degrade yourself
by becoming a party to such au alliance.
Never sell yourself, body and soul, on terms
so contemptible. Love diguifies ult things;
it ennobles all conditions. "With love, the
marriage-rite is truly a sacrament. With?
out it, the ceremony is a base fraud, and
the act a human desecration. Marry for
love, or not at all.' Bo an "old maid," if
fortune throw not in your way tho mau of
your heart; and though the witless may
sneer, aud the jester may laugh, you will
still haye your reward in an approving con?
science hud a comparatively peaceful life.
