A Popular Error.
One of the ministers of our village
had occasion, in the way of pointing
the moral to a liigli'y edifying and
interesting discourse, last Sunday,
to 1 una parallel between political
Iibertv as he described it l tuts
coautrV with what it is, as he under
Htatids it. in Enclanil. All that the
reverend gentleman said as to the
corruption which attaches to elec
tions here is alas, too true. Votes
are no doubt purchased from the
nrice of a drink Of whisky nj to
thousands of dollars ; even honora
ble Senators and Representatives
have been bribed by the score to
rota for subsidizing schemes, or
measures tor advancing the causes
of great moneyed rings and corpora

most conclusive evidcuce that the

Americau ueople was secured to
its present occupant by fraud

While all this is admitted, does
it warrant an unfavorable Com

true and enlightened understanding

iu ihe course of a hundred years we
have uow for the first time a Presi

scarcely a pape in English history

without number, while political
persecutions and proscriptions,
blended with religions fanaticism,
have characterized the annals of
bat nation from the first. To ar
rive at what she uow is, Hngianu
has passed through a dreadful
crucible; and now; having attained
to the highest condition of liberty
possible for the people of a kingdom,
is there less of misery, nlore ot free

The visitors to foreign shores tell
us that Euglaud affords no excep
tion to the rule of squalid m'sery
aud hopeless sorrow everywhere
isible In Europe. The coudition
of the wealthier classes is enviable :
but the toor who compose the vast
masses are almost hopelessly poor
and wretched. There is not that
opportunity which is offered iu our
country to rse from an inferior
coudition; talent and merit do not
assert themselves 80 readilj j the
rewards of thrift and industry dre
not so readily retarded iu the way
of a competence, as is nearly always
the case in our country 1 but the
poor must be content to remain
poor and members of a class upon
which those of the more fortunate
grade may look down through all
generations. The higher classes
are blessed with privileges which
are not extended to the masses of
the com moil people. And while iu
our- republic all men are on tbat
political level from which the poor
est and tbe lowliest may and do
fill thB highest stations of honor
id wealth, (aud, as a general rule,
these really do,) such instances are
isolated and of the rarest occur
rence in England. Are these in
creased opportunities fur all, the
removal of the bans of proscription

of honor, trust, influence and wealth
may lav wit bin the reach ot all

this freedom id Its liberal aud en
lightened sense I Is a comparative
freedom from wants tho abseuce of
squalid and hopeless poverty and
misery, is this happiness to a
people f Then ours should be con
sidered free aud happy, and 110 one
should think of pointing 10 the
English mouarchy as the govern
ment which affords a more generous
freedom, better opiortuniiies to its
people than our republic.
Bur. if Bugiisu writers nave given

Inch the worthy diviuo depicted
as characteristic ot political ofllce
Seeking in our country. Iri that
.most admirable work of fiction,
IIou. Tittlebat Titmouso received
the majority of the rotes of the
shire in which he was a candidate
lor Parliament. The scene is one
ot the imagination, yet il is diau
by au Euylii-.il writer, and were ti e
p'ctnre not a fiiiibful one, tin!
loinanee itself which would so
falsely portray an event of common
Occurrence would be voted a dead
failure. The picture, while it cor.
rectly portrays American occasions
of the kind, must be accepted 118
iqually true of English elections.
There is your demogiige, there is
your hooting, unenlightened rahble
ready to vole for tho brainless Tit
mouse who has money or treats to
liiriusli them, while they decry h's
worthy and enlightened opponent
to the extent of booting at aud
Sto'iiing him. Lord Lyttoa furnishes
us instances ot the varieties of
English life which do nut. Ivy any
means, go to sustain the view that
Eug'aiid is a realm ot nn illoyed
freedom and happiness to the S11I1
ject, antl Mr. Dickens; and other
author give us pictures of the
poorer classes that make us
shudder.
Our space is too limited to write
more extendedly upou the sill ject.
But it is surely a popular error to
suppose tbat our English cousins
are a whit, better off than we are
either socially, politically or moral
ly. Human nature is the same
everywhere. Corrupt practices have
not ceaseil to exist among the
English in matters pertaining to
elections, ami never will. v hat we
see here in the practices ot poll
ctausaiidthe ignorant voters is a
true picture ot what occurs under
the English government, iu so far
as the political machinery of that
government leembles our own.
If wo cast our eyes toward the
mother country to find a govern
meiit free from ills that follow in the
wake of ambition, or of fanaticism,
or ot (lemagougeisin, avarice anu
self aggrandizement, we will not
find it iu England, nor in any other
government constructed by human
bands. There fdj and can be, no
such thing aS perfection in huuiau
government. All we can hope for
is the highest degree of improvi
ment socially, intellectually, and
morally, by a liberal d illusion ot
the means tor gaining knowledge
throughout the tiation, so that men
may be taught better than to fell
1 heir totes, as trie worthy, divine
has it, "for a glass of beer.') And
in our country, more rapid strides
are being jiatle in the diffusion of
know'edge thau Iu boasted luglaud.
Despite all tbat may lie saul, rand
the excellent minister did not give
too dark a hue by any means to
such occurrences as he described),
this country of ouis is Ihe most
fruitful of any that was ever yet
couceived by man 111 the blessings
of freedom aud happiness to its
people. Men are so constructed,
however, tbat they are ne'er con
tent, and no condition of prosperity-
can they attain, but that they are
prone to look some where else as
affording a truer pattern of what
they desire in the way of freedom
aud happiness.
Dr. Choppiti, Piesident of the
Sew Orleans Board of Health, has
issued an order that 110 report of
new cases ot yellow lever snail oe
furnished the press. The Doctor,
we presume, is moved to do this

to allay the feais of the people, or
because be wishes to prevent, as
much as possible, unnecessary iu-
jury or the business interests 01
Sew Orleans, it the order was
issued for either oue of these jiur

conceal from the public the tacts
about the epidemic will only give
free reign to tb imaginations ot

of improbable rumors.
