The lame and somewhat stagnant at
mospiifiia of English politics seems to
prevent Englishmen at present from
reading truly that which passes in coun
tries ler-s lost to action; and tho incapac
ity shows itself in a variety of ways, ond
at such distant parts, as to attest its deep
seat and its extent. The Times thinks
that Franklin Pierce's first address to his
countrymen, as President of the United
States, must be read with "a large abate
ment from the meaning wliich his lan
tiia.se might be understood to convey;"
while the Morning Chronicle thinks that
it is all self neutralize 1, and declares
, . .i , . . r . i. i .
nothing, asow tnc language oi ine hoc
itmonl disproves the Chronicle, as the
history oj the speaker refutes the Times.
Geu. Pierce declares that he will main
tnin the Union against sectional and fa
natical agitations, and that be will en
force the compramiso acts. In America
tli 1 s will not at all be taken as an ad
mission that lie is an out-und-out sup-
inner of "involuntary servitude," but
rather that he is not prepared to inter
fere with stuti -lights that lie will not
sacrifice the political nationality of the
whole Union to the agitation ofaqnes
lion not yet ripe for settlciicnt, and per
haps never to be settled by the Union.
And he is right; the unit'-sd nationality ol
the whole IJuio.i is wanted just now fo
tho purposes of the republic and its white
population.
Franklin Pierce declares that tho A
uicricon flag, wherever it waves, shall
protect tho American citizen, who now
wanders, be it remembered, in the most
distant parts, not only of America ond of!
Asia, but of Europe. He exalts the star
spangled banner as a standard of hope
fur Mho opprec! throughout the world.'
j His country will continue to speak, 'not
only by its worls but by its acts, the lan
guage of sympathy, encouragement, and
hope, io those who earnestly listen to
tones wliich proantinco for the largest
rational liberty." His government will
not eneouiago expeditions in breach ol
international law; but "uncontrolled by
any thni I foicbo lings of ovil from ex
pansion," it recognizes as necessary
' the acquisition of certain possessions
not wiiiiin our jurisdiction. Jlo is in
favor of peace, but, "prompt reciprocity
will be givin and required."
Now, can we construe such language
except to mean that America will bo at
peace with those who befriend her, but
that by regular process sanctioned under
international law, Cuba must be annex
ed? :': ;:; ' '
If this language refutes the Chronicle,
what ground has the Timet for presuin
ing that it must bo read with "a large a
batoment." Why was Piorco chosen,
and by whom? He says himself, "The
sentiments I now nnnounca were pot un
known before the expression of tho Voice
that called me here ,J and ye he was
chosen by en overwhelmingTnajority of
his countrymen. Nay, he gave to Amer
ican opinion a more concentrated form
two of his companion in arms. Pieice
ihcrufoie, more than any President since
the first, represents, not a pony, but the
republic. !
What nee I ha! a man, thus selected
because he filled the ideas of those who
made liiiit really their leader, to trim his
language for popular acceptance? Why
his were the very sentiments sought: and
if he had altered, he must Lave dis'p
poiuted. lint if it were politic to speak
with an equivocal meaning, has Pierce's
history niaikcd him out to be not a man
of his word? Eminently the reverse.
He attained to the highest position in
his native slate and in tho Union; and
yet, as our readers are aware, he re.
tire-l into private life, to repair 1 i
own for. une1. At the next period
of need for his country, he took musket,
as a private volunteer, in o resiinient
bound for Mexico, and was appointed
colonel, without hii solicilation, by the
Secretary of Smte, on the simple knowl
edge of his character; and he who enter
el the Mexican army ns a private, re
ceived the thanks of ihe Senate. Is such
a man greater in his pretensions or wori's
than in Ids actions?
No; but the career thus c. rrie.l to the
prime of life, and then reaching the high
est post of honor in the republic, mnst
have a sequel. The same man that took
a nit s'iet and helped to co::queru prov
ince for the Union, will scarcly turn
back in the career of "expansion'' when
he has the Union ut his back. If he
uses words, he means them. If his words
arc great, his actions wll outdo tin in.
And why i.-t it that Englishmen in the
educated classes are so anxious to read
with an "abatement?" IbcaufC, long
accustomed to action at home, or near
it. Englishmen ran scarcely enter into
the feelings of a man who enters upon
action and enjoys it, who feels conscious
of power and means to uso it, who, od-
dressing bis country, and who, instead of
fearing national movement, looks to it
with the eager eye of hope. A Cromwell

Singular Geological Fact,
At Modeiia in llalv, within a circle
of four miles around the city, whenever
the earth is dug, and the workmen ar
rive at the distance of Mty-:lireo feet,
they come to a bed of chalk which they
bore with an auger, five feet deep. They
then withdraw from the pit before the
augur is removed, and upon its refrac
tion the water bursts up with girat vio
lence, and quickly fills the well thus
made; the supply of water being iieith
er effected by rains or dioughis. At the
depth of fourteen feet aro found the ru
