The Ucion grows enthusiastic in contem- plating, in its mind’s eye, the high qualities and many virtues ‘of many of those who have beeh elected, on the Democtatic side, to the next Congress ofthe United States. The editor is clearly of opinion that they will form a bright galaxy indeed of mind, aecomplish- ments, géenfus, patriotism—and all that soft of The Union also points out the fact that it is the duty of the Democratic party, which it always fulfils, to stand between its country and the men and ideas thay wenld destroy its constitution and government; saying, ia the course of its remarks in this connection, with reference to some of those who have become identified with Know, Nothingism : ‘* There is large ¢lass of conservative men in us free tae tg Ze bo embarked in the enterprize anow Nothingism from honest motives.

It is @ pee ty of almost ali the pews we re- ceive in the United States from Mexico that every fresh dispatch is in direct refutation of that which has next preceeded it. The miii- dury and political incidents in the life of the @aptain are clearly in keeping, in this respect, ‘wits the rest of our intelligence from that re- zaarkabje region of the world.”’ Nor veny d’Ror1TAnLe.—While Messrs.

Will it not be well fo: the ids Of thé different public offices in h- ington to start subscription papers similar t that so promptly and handsomely filled up ir, the Comptroller's office ? i Washington Next Winter.—From all we can learn, Washington city is destined nex winter to be the resort of a much larger num- ‘der of persons (of both sexes) of wealti, taste, fashion, and distinction, from all quarters 01 the Union and abroad, than ever before. Thi- isasitshould be. Here, are congregated during the session the most distinguished and active public men from every Congressional distrie: in the United States, including the leadin; lawyers ef the country, with not‘a few persone fameus for their superiority as men of science literature, and business utility—many of whom ‘come hither on business before Congress or the Executive Departments. Of late years, so great during the sessions has been the atten- dance of strangers of means, as to induce the hosts of all the leading hotels of the city to entertain their guests very much as they are entertained at the most celebrated watering places, with the addition of comforts and luxuries of all sorts difficult to be had in an establishment where a great pressure of business is expected only for from six weeks to three months, at most, of the year. Soi- reesand grand balls, charming music almost nightly, and all the luxuries of high life im Europe, are provided by them, free for the entertainment of all respectable gucsts of all such houses; the charges being quite as mod- erate as those of any first class houses in any American large city. The debates of Congress, the arguments before the Supreme Court. nearly always by legal gentlemen of national fame, the lectures at the Smithsonian Institu tion, the library of Congress, the various works of art the property of the Government collect- ed at this point, and the society of the men of celebrity, attainments, and influence, foreign and domestic, always here at such a season, who are as approachable as any other class of persons in socicty anywhere in this country, together, form attractions for a sojourn in Washington, incomparably much superior to those existing anywhere else on this side of the Atlantic. All this accounts for the growing habit on the part of those + to do, who can afford the time for visiting the séat ef Government while Congress issitting, and cannot fail very shortly to make a trip to the Federal city during the season’as necessary to the comfurt of those who go from home in the course of the year, as a trip to the sea side or to an interior watering place in the summer. The great improvement: in the great lines of travel in all direc- reduction of railroad and steamboat fares, growing out of increasing competition, are elements likely to increase the number of such visitors next winter, for whose accommo dation the cmpresarios of cur leading hotels and boarding houses, and our merchants and tradesmen brought into immediate con- tact by their business with such visitors, are making unusual preparations. Telegraphic Election Returns.—The New York Tribune says, with great force : “ We trust that beste ows not hold us in any degree responsible for the accuracy of the telegraphic trash we are obliged to print from day to day in place of election returns. There is now and then, a grain of wheat hid- den in stacks of this chaff, and we have no choice but to let it stide, and caution our read- ers (by this time almost needlessly) against ing any trust init. If it should happen to be in part true, they will learn that cireum- stance in due course of mail.’ We endorse all this, and call the attention of cur readers to its so palpable truth. We, and other jodrnalists desirous of spreading be- was ever asked of us for news by telegraph ; and instead of the truth in the matter of elec- tions in .oo many instances we get but false- hoods, concocted wholly for the benefit of Know Nothingian.

The sum of £200,000 is necessary to complete ‘the entcrpzise, andthe movement originated aa Apri 1, by an association of Southern ladies, and was grlended Northward in May Jast.

This position we know to be antagonistic to f lulties was held at Cape May, the that almost universally received. Nevertheless we entertain it. She is at the head of the world so far as making money is concerned.

The boasted earning- enlightenment of New England isjust sufficient to make Her peopile self-sufficient— ao more. Ttis but enough to induce them toeon- temn the result of the experience of ages and to ‘ancy themselves better than their fathers, slinging, as they do, to all the vices, moral and intellectual, of their ancestors, and re- jecting nearly all the principles on which their fathers acted, which were fit to be retained in the moral progress of md@nkind. We write above of them as a people with the full know- ledge that there’ are bright'and brilliant ex- ceptions to the general rule, to be an exception from which, in New England; is to be tabooed in popular estimation. There, where a man may be an atheist or a railroad stock swin- dler, without losing caste in the estimation of the people at large, though be his life ever so pure, and his standing as a Christian ever s0 irreproachable, if he fails to bow to the su- premacy and eternal fitness gf the ruling idio- syneracy of the hour he is yoted a heathen worthy to be hounded out of society. A Discovery in Science.—Many of our read- ers will remember, with deep respect and af. fection, the subject of the following extract from the Civitta Cattolica of July, 1855, who was long in this District, laboring in the cause of science in the fine observatory and library | of Georgetown College. It will, therefore, bo read in this region with twofold interest : “ In the supplement to the Journal of Rome of the 25th of June, Rev. A?

This last antic has been cut by them in order to draw to them all anti-slavery men identified up to this time with Know Nothingism. They have succeeded to a charm in breakimg up the lodges of the Know Nothings proper, yet their means to compass that end, as above described, so stultify them, as that they, in turn, willvery shortly be abandoned by all who are aboli- tionists on principle—abolitionists for aught else than to get office.
