On the coming in of January the Demoe: Tacy will bear complete sway in every department of the State Gcevernment—execu- tive, legisla administrative, and judi- cial, It is now thirty-two years since they have stood on like vantage ground. In the last year of Gov, Maney’s adminis tration, the Whigs controlled the Assembly ; and in the following autumn Mr. Sew , became Governor, and he ruled four years. Though he was succeeded by Mr. Bouck, and he by Mr. Wrtent, both Democrats, they-found the departments full of Whigs, and their Administrations were rent in pieces aud rendered powerless by the quarrels be tween the Barnburners and the Hankers. The mocking chiefs of the former pelted the meek Bouck with ri te till 1 back to his native hills in Scoharfe ; while the remorseless Uankers, when the whirligig of time brought around their opportunity, avenged the ostra- cism of their leader by — assnssinating Wriairt, the Cesar ot the Barnburuers, on the steps of the Cupitol ‘The Whigs now returned to power under Joun Youna, and not ousted till the election of SkxyMoun and Cuuncit in 1 who came in as hi for the good be havior actions.

But throughout his two years’ term all the departments were controlled by his opponents, and the Legis lnture was sicadily Republican, So, then, since the winter of 1837, when Wittias L, Mancy was Governor, the Dem ocratie party has never until now borne full sway in all places of high import in this » then a whole generation has and who is left behind in the y to master this new exigen For nearly a third of a century the I mocracy of New York have mainly busic themselves in finding fault with their oppo- nents in pow: vocation sir The easier than to build up. and eventful changes have been wro tration of our alfairs, passed away ; vietorions py This Las been their especial «© the rise of Republicanism need not be told that to ery down is Dar their ng the long rivals, great lit in the adminis id particularly in our cities, aud more notably iu our great me. tropolis.

Opening Reading Rooms on Sunda The Young Men's Christian Association is a benevolent institution, Raving for its object the providing of rational and harmless amusement for the ) oung men of the city, find- ing them proper boarding houses and employ- ment, and in other ways looking after their moral and social welfare, It has just ‘beon enabled, by the liberality of its patrons, to complete a commodious and magnificent club house on the corner of Fourth avenue and Twenty third street, containing a lecture room, where very nice concerts aro given every week at a low price, and a reading room well supplied with the periodical litera- ture of the day. The obvious use of the build- ing and its appurtenances is to afford a com- fortable and attractive place of resort for young men, which will in some measure counteract the temptations of barrooms aud theatres, and the still more objectionable places with which the city abounds, The Mercantile Library Association is an: other institution of the same benevolent character os the Young Men's Christian As- sociation. It, however, confines itself m strictly to furnishing young men with intel lectual entertainment. It has an aimpic brary and a well-supplied reading room, and every winter classes are formed for the instruction of its members at moderate charges in the languages and practical sciences! aid it in its work, a corporation called the Clinton Hall Association, composed of a number of our leading merchants and philanthropists, puréhased some years ago the building in Astor place now known as Clin. ton Hall, and gave the Library Association # lenge of it at a low rent. This Association is still in the occupation of the building, and naturally cherishes feelings of gratitude and respect toward the corporation that owns it. The read rooms of both these institu. tions—the Young Men's Christian Associa tion and the Mercantile Library Association —nre closed on Sunday. On that day the thousands of young men who, during the rest of the week, are hospitably admitted to the rooms, are bolted and barred out, and driven to seek refuge wherever else they may find it. A movement Is on foot to change this practice, and open these reading rooms on Sundays, and we sincerely hope it may succecd, In the case of the Young Men's Christian a vote 1 a majority of its members is neces sary to seenre the needed reform ; and that this will soon be given, there is no reason todoult, In that of the Mercantile Library ution, the members have already voted overwhelmingly in favor of the measure, but their officers desire, out of courtesy to the Clinton Hall Association, to which they are so much indebted, to secure also the con- sentofthat body, ‘The matter was laid before the Clinton Hall Trustees last Spring, but thus far they have taken no definite action them toa , and that Committee has upon it. It hes been referred Special Committ not yet reported. The chief objection made by those who oppote opening these rooms on Sunday is, probably, the supposition on their part that in some way it will contlict with the proper observance of the day required by the Fourth Commandment. It is thought that the practice would involve servile labor on the part of the persons in charge, which ought not to be exacted of them on the Sab. buth, Besides this, there may also be a lurking fear lost the attractions of books and newspapers may prove superior to t! the pulpit, and that young men may prefer going to the reading room to going to chureh. Of course no argument will be of avail with persons so bigoted as to take this narrow view of Christian duty. Men who ean draw a istinction Letween the labors of a sexton and those of a reading-room keeper, or who can see a worse crime in reading a magazine or a newspaper in public than in doing the same thing in private, or who suppose that young men will go to church from any other reason than because thoy like to, are not worth arguing with. The young men who want to have the two read. ing rooms we have mentioned opened on Sunday are in the majority, and they will persevere in the effort tll they succeed, 11 heir elders will not consent, they must be overruled ; and if the officers whom they have herctofore elected will not comply with their wishes, others must be elected who Will, Tt is aLout time that antiquated pyeju dice gave way to enlight —— Lonis Napolcon’s Last Contrivancr Navoron TIT. ig far from bein t mablo aman as Logjs XVL, but he resem bles the French Bounnon in his des efforts to'save his waning power by making one concession after andther to the disatloeted people. All the antecedents of French bist ory show that from the moment a ruler begins to hogotiate with hia subjects, the epoch of total surrender cannot be staved olf for 4 very long period, The appetite of the people for complete satisfaction is only whet- ted by the crumbs of concession which are reluctantly doled out by the Crown to sileu their clamors, ‘he administration of O1.t- VIER niust consequently be regarded only as anew and short-lived contrivance to avert the downfall of the Empire, got up under the illusion that despotism can be reconciled with liberty, and an autocratic dynasty with the rights of man, A Liberal Empire ig as impossible and se of ad Ben Be, £8 ¢ erate istio Republic. M. Outivizm is a nimble political thimble-rigger; but neither he nor all the converts tq Bonapartism together can in the Jong run make Franco forget that Lovis NapoLron wantonly destroyed her free institutions, and rose to imperial power by dint of perjury, fraud, and bloodshed. Nor can France ever forget that, for the purpose of diverting her attention from her subju- gation by a spurious Bonaranre, this reckloss adventurer imitated the first Nao. Leon by instigating the Crimean war and the Mexican invasion. These were cal culated only to perpetuate Mohammedanism in the East and slavery in the Wostern hemisphere, aud to saddle the French work ing classes with public burdens under whieh they must groan for generations to come. That the sick man in the Tullerigs is capa- ble of plausibly judicious measures, every body knows; but a mdn who has been guilty of the crimes which ‘sully his career, who has engaged in the perpetration of whole- sale butcheries for no other purpose than to aratify his ambition and to fortify his ill-got- ten power--such a man must have forfeited the confidence of the nation over which he pretends to rule. Whatever the promises he may hold out or the mental ability which he displays, the public conscience of mankind must look with loathing upon him, and the French people must feel that they are dis. graced by every hour that they give him their allegiance. We have little faith, therefore, in the sta- bility of the OLnivire patchwork. It is only a precursor of the final overthrow of Bonapartism, and a stepping-stone to a sys tem of government in France which we trust will be not only based upon free institutions, but administered by rulers whom the world need not abhor — Pish Van Winkle. Mr. Fistt has queer ideas about the order of precedence among European States. In his circular letter inviting foreign Govern ments to join in a cable convention, he makes Spain and sundry other petty powers out rank Russia, probably because that empire i the most colossal of the world, and compared to it Mr. Frsit’s favorite concern at Madrid is a mere pebbl ‘The fact is that the Secretary of State is an old fogy. Spain, in his opinion, is etill the same power, with the same capacity to pay fees to her lawyers, as in the days of Put IL and Ferprnanp and Isanecna Upon this chronological confusion Mr. Frsn's adulation of the Spanish Government can perhaps best be accounted for. It is the story of Rip Van Winkle over egain, only that in the present case the honor of a great nation and the fate of a sister republic are at stake, and not merely, as in the play, the vicissitudes of a sleepy old gentleman of the Hudson. é cilia The members of the present Italian Cabi net will undoubtedly faithfully carry out the odious system of home and foreign polities which was introduced by that plague, the Consorteria clique), soon after the death of Count Cavour, and which hay brought Italy to its nt humili- ating Politically, Italy has no impor tance whatever, becanse the] diplomats, with their continued errors, narrow views, sycophaney, and servility, hare mad themselves and their country the humble servants of Narorkos IIL Financially, Italy raptey.
