A Scotch correspondent, who " lays little stress on public

meetings, atilt their acclamations," but is well acquainted with the " undercur- rent" of public feeling in North Britain, informs us that there is scarcely a village in the Lowland districts but has its political associatien on the Universal Suffrage or Chartist principle. He is convinced that the ttme is not far distant when the effect of these. operations will be for- midable. There are runny enthusiasts among the agiuttors. arid, as he truly observes, "enthusiasm always tells ;" and these struggles will not be without results. The age of "shams" is rapidly passing away, and men who believe their ordinary routine of existence necessary and eternal, will be startled some fine day from their dream.
