The man on Horseback

--It is impossible to shut one's eyes to the rapid drift of the country into the arms of the ‘"man on horseback,"’ in other words, into the arms of a regular military despotism. We do not say this in disparagement of the ‘"man on horseback,"’ who is now about our best protector, and the only defence we are likely to have from anarchy, and that most despotic of all despotisms, the despotism of the mob. The rapid transition we are undergoing, however, from a self-government to a government of guns, is food for reflection to the contemplative mind. See the proclamations we publish to-day--one from General Harney to the people of Missouri, and another from General Batter to the people of Baltimore.-- New York Express.
