Aside from the identity of our national principles, we have no national identity, nor shall we have for centuries. A single race, the Spanish, colonized the greater part of South-Amcrica and Mexico, but to form the American nation, England contributed its Cavaliers and Puritans Holland, the colonists of New Amsterdam and France, the Huguenots of Carolina and the adventurers of Louisiana while almost every people of Europe added some minor element to the compound, whose fusion is yet going on. All the extremes of religious faith in Christendom were interested, from the Methodists who settled Georgia, to the Roman Gat holies who founded the State of Maryland.

Si'Eccif or A WESTERN JUDC E.—A well known Western Judge delivered the followir.g graphic and characteristic speech on the occasion of a celebrated murder trial. The Prosecuting Attorney having moved a continunnce of tbe case in order that he might be able to procure additional important testimony, the Judge in deciding against a continuance, said:

Gentlemen:—I have set here now for two or three weeks and I want a little rest.— The Holidays are coming on, and 1 want to take my comfort and enjoy myself as well as other folks. Why, gentleman, eventhe niggers at the South have a holiday at Christmas and New Years, and I do not see why I should not have mine. Here some noise and confusio the back partof the court room called the attention of the Judge from his subject. Mr. Sheriff, said he, keep those fellows out there from pitching and rearing about the room. If I hear any more of it, I will take the electricity out of their lega, or tie them upwhere they won't knock round so freely^ The dignity of this Court must be sustain^ ed. Gentiemen, I decide against any further continuance of this case.
