Tlu* Right Spirit.
Whilst the Army hill was under discussion in the
House of Representatives on Thursday the 25th ult.
Mr. Thompson of Indiana, took occasion to review the
slave question in a spirit of conservatism and concilia
tion, which wo.* would he glad to see adopted by other
members of the House. If this feeling moro gener
ally prevailed, all apprehensions of the perpetuity of ,
our Union would he dissipated, ami we should remain i
an united people. There is no doubt of the truth of !
what Mr. Thom|>soii asserts; that an attempt by j
Congress to interfere with the slave trade between the I
States, would dissolve tho Union. Representing as
Mr. Thompson docs a free State, we hope his mild and !
conciliatory measures may have the ellect of calming j
tho mitids of members upon the only question that the j
friends of the Union have to fear. He said:
Suppose Congress attempted to interfere with the
u the Stales ; the inevliable, fmsitive.

emniy m Virginia or North Carolina. Hu did not know
<»! a judge or a justice of the peace within hi- State w ho
would not give to the master every possible aid in his
power to urriyt his fugitive slave. They neither sym
pathized w ith ihe fanatical abolitionists nor with the
ultra pro-sl.ivery urn of the South ; all they said was,
take care of the institution of slavery as it was left you
by your fathers ; it is none of ours ; we will have noth
ing to do with it; manage it as you please."
Nutintl Doctrine.
A jury tho otlior day, says tho National Intelligen
cer, in New York gave exemplary damages against a
person, accompanied with a reason which implied that
public opinion demanded tho verdict, mid that it was
made largo as an exumplo to others. The propitiation
of public opinion (says the Uhiladelphia Lodger/ is u
very common notion with jurors, Imt tho justice of it
may well he questioned. Twenty men may violulo
the law, mid, through an insulllciency of evidence,
escape with impunity. One less fortunate is saddled
with tho punishment due to the guilt of tho other
twenty as an example to the rust of the, world. Ho
not only hears this legal responsibility of his own aefs,
all in justice that cun ho required of him, Imt that of
twenty other persons over whom ho could not possibly
exorcise any control. Judge Dai.v, in a recent elm-ge
to a jury, sets this matter in a proper point of view,
however much other portions of the charge limy lie
excepted to. He says;
"The ptrsou arraigned is not to he convicted
under the impression Llr.it that conviction would
he of service to the community, or that public opin
ion demands that an example should lie made.—
1’iiblic opinion is not fo enter a court of justice to
del Tniinethe guilt or innocence of a person accus
ed. A sound mid healthy public opinion, like a
pure ntiii'isphere, is hcueficinl in its ellecfs. li
seems !*» keep in check llin vicious propensities of
tneii. Bill public opinion is not always di^tiu-
giiisliing in ils judgment of persons. It i.t too
unstable and loo easily influenced to be implicitly
relied on. What it has frequently demanded at
one lime as a sacrifice il has lamented at another
as it calamity. Tito history of the past furnishes
a melancholy record of its errors; for J tel ore and
since the death of the Redeemer Ihe lives of the
world's best benefactors have been trodden out be
neath the hoofs of this many minded monster.—
When called upon to act in the disc,barge of pub
lic duty the consideration must not he whether il
is in accordance with public opinion, but whether
it is right, and unless a jury are governed by that
feeling, tli y lack that impartiality which is the
very essence of justice. If to do justice it becomes
necessary to tale* ground against public opinion
they should not hesitate to do it. It was not to ho
propitiated by all net of jti-fice, however slight,
even by the infliction ol a private wrong/*
This we call sound law, as well as justice.

Tin* Volunteers in Yucatan.
The following letter should have reached us on
Wednesday, but it will still be read with interest;
I'tfitors if /!. Pic.r/utr',—I have thought lint
perhaps you and your good readers would bn
pleased to learn something <*f the doings of tho
American v ’uuteors in Yucatan, and for that
reason avail myself of a few moment s leisure*.—
()u tho 2 Ith inst. a portion of our regim-mt. under
the command of Limit. (Nil. Besancon, left this
place to attack tie* Lilian.-, who were in great
forCo within a short distance of the city. The
command encountered the enemy with gr -.it spirit,
and drove him several miles in ihe interior. Du
ring the engagement < Jupt. K'dlv and Lieut. (J imp
bell were .severely wounded, also s wen private :
wounded, and on * killed, (’apt. (\mii dly.during
tlie whole engagement, behaved with tniie.it g.il-
1 iniry. On tlie 25th inst. Col. White di'lertniu-
ed to attack the Indians with his whole regiment,
stud four comp mios of Yue.itecoes to serve as il.in
kers. Tho command left tlii-, ploee at half-past
8 c clock. A. M..and encotmtere,l the enemy with
in two miles of tli " city. Tlr* Indians o|i*ned the
ball by pouring among us from behind their barri
cades a deadly lire. We charged upon them an I
soon com pel led them to take shelter b 'hind other
barricade*. After the lirst lire th • four Yuealaco
companies fell hack, and refused to advance, de
clared that it was madness to routinu • to light liio
immense host of Indians opposed in u-. Wo
thought •lillerentlv, li nvever, and concluded to sue
who knew l)*st. After the Yitc.al.'coes left us
there wa ; not to exceed 50 ) *)! its to light at least
from 7,0 >0 to lo.uoo Indians. We e mtinuedtlio
engagement until about I o'clock. I*. M.. when
the ammunition with which we were supplied in
the morning Inving been exhausted, and the Yu-
catceoes, who wore in the charge of our other
ntnmuniiioii. having retreated in the early part of
the day. wo were compel I *d to fall hack to t!iis
place. Our loss in killed and wounded amounted
to thirly-s 'vm. During the engagement we ch ir-
ged upon an I captured over sixty barricades.—
Every man in the regiment acted the hero. The
most daring deeds were performed by ollicurs and
men.
Lieut. Gallagher, of New Orleans, belonging
toOapt. Malkiry’s company, received three in trial
shots while leading his men to the charge: Gupl.
John Freeland received a shot through his hat ;
Lieut. Williams had his sword Itrok m by a plan-
k't, and his musket shot from hi - hands. At one
time the lire from the Indians was so severe that
lit** whole regitn'MiL was ordered to lie upon the
ground. It seemed as if the Indians had resolved
to annihilate the regiment in a mom ml, and they
would most certainly have done so had not their
lire been a litt le to high. At this time Capt. Dan
iel (’lark Briggs requested of the Colonel p"rmiss*
sion to eliargo upon the enemy with his company.
The Golonel told Briggs that it lie b dievod ho
could route thud—d devils, to do so. The com
mand, ** Charge, my hrav" boys,” was given l»y
tin* (Captain in a minner. that showeil that lie
.jiioanl " to do *»r die,** and the words were no
sooner uttered linn In* and his command were on
the red skins with a yell tint must have struck ter
ror into the yelling Indians themselves, (’apt.
Briggs received two shots through his coat, and
also, by a third shot, had his llaslt cut from his
side. Sergeants Conway and Long, of lii.s com
mand, were killed in this most d".speratocharge,
Capt. Mace, also, throughout th * whole engage
ment, showed th** most desperate courage, seeking
every opportunity to be foremost in the light. It.
is impossible for me to speak of the tinny nets of
daringof all theotlicors—all did their duty. Von
may judge sont 'tiling of tin* character of some, of
the officers in battle by the titles hestowd upon
them alter the Christmas light. Capt. Freeland
is called *• Tlie( )!*! Ironsides,” (’apt. Briggs •• Tho
War Hors.*” Capt. Mace “Capt. Treucheiio,”
Lieut. ('In . Hicks, of Capt. Briggs's command,
and who behaved with much gillautry. was call
ed tho “Yankee Darn Devil." ( hi the 2(Jth we
resb'il, and on the 27ih took up our line of iii in It
for Tela, an In liaii village, fifteen miles from Ti-
liornas. We h ul a t anning light nearly the
whole distance. We captured the village about
2 o’clock D. M., un*l remained there until the
next morning. Our loss in killed and wounded in
this day’s li jiit amounted to eight. (>u the morn
ing of the 2Ht.li wo burnt tin* village, after which
Col. White, with a portion of his command, pro
ceeded to attack the Indians who were in lore** at
(ail. /'litiaL hacienda, twelve miles from Tela
and Lieut. Col. Besancoii returned to Tiliosuca
with the remainder of the regiment, in charge of
th*’ wounded. Col. Whit" drove tho Indians lio n
the hacienda without tho loss of a man. On the
2!)lh we relumed to Tiho-mco to rest a few days
front our labours. We shall probably leave here
for Bactlar in tli" course of a week. If so tle-ro
will be plenty ol lighting. Tics country through
which we shall have to pass is’completely infest
ed by tin* Indians. If you wish. I will keep you
well advised of what ma y take place.

The Ccrrkncv.—According to tho Philadelphia
Ledger’s Washington letter of Juu. 21, the l’lituiico
Committee of the Senate have come to the conclu
sion to recommend the coinage of gold eagles uud of j
double gold eajes, (§20 pieces) as also the coinage |
of silver two and-a-hulf cent pieces, together with
pennies, (cents of a mixture of silver uud copper,) |
which sltull have the effect of essentially reducing tho ,
present clumsy size of the copper coin, which excludes ]
it utmost front circulation in the Southern und South- ,
Western States. Tho bill providing for tho coinage I
of this now coin will ulso contain provisions for the ap
pointment of a U. S. ussayer at Suu Francisco, with j
tho privilege of running gold of a certain fineness into
bars of §100, §200 or §500 in value, und providing
them with the stamp ol the United States, which Will

.Southern lltenilsiuH's.
The following striking and truthful remarks urc ta
ken from a Into number of tho Quiticy Times. We
conmioud them to the perusal and serious considera
tion of tho pluuters generally:
Heretofore tho Southern people have grcatlv
depended on the North and West, for their bread-
stuffs, as well as their bacon, their horses and
mules. Thousands—indeed wo may say millions,
have annually been sent out of the Southern
States, for tho purchase of articles which could
have more profitably been made at homo. The
annual drain of money for Flour, Buckwheat,
Moat, and otliorarlicles which tliov purchase from
the North, has h vti sufficient to keep the South
poor, notwithstanding the productions of our soil,
our kindly climate, or (lie enterprise awl industry
of our people.
Woof the South have labored—have exhaust
ed the riches of a virgin soil—have swept away
our forests, borrowed from our generous lands to
the extent of their capability of lending and then
we bay* turned them "'it as old naked fields, to be
still further exhausted by the burning rays of the
situ. And what has become of the profits of all
litis labor, of all this waste of the natural resour
ces of fb*» country ?
It lias all gone to enhance the more systematic
industry of the business nun of the North and the
West. Tlr Western horse driver has had his
portion, the hog driver has had his portion; the
Il tur m .'reliant, the bacon and lard merchant, till
have It I lit «ir share, and in many cases nothing
is I**li t«» the hard working planter of the South.
Now this is no good cause of any unkind feel
ing against the Northern or Western people; if
they have had tho address to supply us with what
we lacked and found profit in so doing, it is cer
tainly no fault of theirs. The mistake lies with
ourselves, in not producing all those articles which
are required for horn * consumption. To say that
the people of the South cannot raise horses, mules,
and hogs, sufficient lor their own necessities, is
as much us to say that llieir lands won’t grow
corn—which we till know to he untrue.
Tit * truth is, tho South Ims been kept poor by
untlirifiinoss, by concentrating her whole energies
upon one branch of industry—the production of
cotton. Tito consequence has been that when
the seasons which have been favorable, and the
crop ahtmd nit—tin* market has been overstocked,
and the price gone down. The planter gets no
remunerating price for his labor; perhaps lie is
left in debt for the horses, and for the bacon with
which he fed his hands. Well, is it any better
for tho planter when the crop is scant, when tho
drought or the caterpillar reduce the yield of his
lauds, to th** smallest amount—and tho price of
cotton per consequence rates high ? High prices
under such circumstances do not bring the plan
ter out of debt.
Tho only llecltial relief of the Southern plan
ter is, to cut* r upon a system for ihe production
of all Ins necessaries at home. In the* article of
hroadstuffs. of Hour alone—the people, of the
Southern Slates are still tributary to tho North in
vast amounts. And there is no need of this; the
Southern soil grows wheat of tho finest quality ;
Southern industry if properly directed, can con
vert il into the finest Hour. Then why will the
Southern planter continue to labor in his cotton
fi"l*l. to grow cotton, to he sold for prices which do
not pay for the food consumed by tlm hands •• : *h
make it. and the oxpe'iseu of forwarding it to mar
ket, to say nothing of tho waste of lands, incur
red in the business? Thoro is something wrong
in this business.
Our neighbors in Georgia and South Carolina
tire begining to understand thoso matters better,
and instead of importing their breadstuff's, as they
did ten years Hg*>. are now exporting flour, to a
very great amount. The Georgia flour is equal
ti»any manufactured in any part of tho world.—
The extensive railroad ettferprisos which have
been going on in Georgia and South Carolina, by
bringing the producer and consumer nearer to
each other, have stimulated agricultural industry
in these States, in a very great degree. The rail
roads have op. 1 *ti'*d to the inland planter an easy
channel of sending his produce to market, which
otherwise must have remained on iiis hands.—
Whi'ii the Georgia and Florida Southwestern
Railroad from Macon to IVnsicola, slinl' 'rive
l)f‘4*li completed, the people of ibis section o. *Jti-
Iry will b" furnished with Hour on much belter
(••rins, from tlm inferior of Georgia, than they now
obtain it via New York or New Orleans. And
what is better still, the money would he retained
at. the South.
A H ard Rat.—Advocating a bettor system of pop
ular education in tile State, the South Carolinian,
of the HHli instant, remarks.
()tir State lias long been bewildered by the fame
of Iter gr-atne-- and the superiority of her peo
ple in tli** olden time. < >ur people seem much in

tion of fit" greatest portion of Iter citizens, whilst
their proii-J contemplation is only directed to the

How bmg will men, with strong arms and weak
brains, control the energies of the laud ? Who
will ilr.tg the true aims of life into active play, and
by awakening impoverished mental and moral en
ergy, cause «i development which will redound to
the honor of the State ? Let our politicians, who
have heretofore dreamed only of personal advance-

BtlllVINO A WIFE AND FINDING HF.lt ALIVE.—A
.most singular circumstance occurred in this city
last week, towards the close, that has been the sub
ject of remark among the high] officials at the
< ’ourt-house, and in several of the churches.—
Tho story runs thus:—A young married woman
called on lion. Judge Safhn,of the Court of Com
mon Pleas for permission to enter the Commercial
Hospital, which was, through his kindness, imme
diately obtained. After reinaiug there a few days
Mr. Doolittle, the very efficient Steward of thet In
Htilution, called upon the Judge, stating that hc-
woiuau for whom he had obtained admission into
tin* Hospital was dead, und said he was seeking
information respecting the woman's husband, sta
ting, at the same time, that the woman was a for
eigner, and was expecting her husband here; dur
ing her watching for him she became sick and
destitute ami applied ns above.
Judge Baffin look the trouble to advertise in one
of tic (b rinnn papers for tho person, and tho ad
vertisement iiad the effect of finding the man early
ii *xt day and the sad news of his wife’s death wa
told him. The husband lost no time in
to the place where the corpse laid,
her colil lip-D' that laid death cold in clay,’’ to use
the very impressive line of an old nursery ballad,
and did the necessary burial, after taking the body
to the church,and doing all the necessary ceremo
nies peculiar to Iiis belief and duty in such cases.
The corpse was interred in a respectable burial
place, and the husband returned to the Hospital to
inquire if there were charges for which he in honor
stood bound.
On his return, instead of going to tho “ Dead
Room,” as he did in the first instance, ho was
shown to the* 4 Convalescent Department.” What
was his astonishment und delight—how Iiis heart
leaped with joy—in there finding his wife, into
whose arms lie fell with a wild joyoiisitess, not to
he described in a paragraph, or exhibited in a dra
ma ! The body that the kind and sad husband
had intern’d by Mistake was that of an unknown
and friendless female. The whole world may bo
canvassed for a more singular incident in vain,
and the works of the fictional drama present noth
in rival it.— Cincinnati Cumnwjcial,

TIIE PRAYER OF LOVE.
An Incident in the Life of Cromwell.
Many persons may remember that in the most
pretty of suburban villages, Highgate there stands
a mansion nearly on the brow of the hill, bearing
the name of‘Cromwell House,’ one of the many
relics remaining of that man, whose usurpation of
supreme power wrought more good in England
than all the reigns of the Stuarts. This house,
which was the favorite resort of the Ix>rd General,
during those hours when he relaxed from tho cares
of state, has continued, in some degree, an object
of curiosity up to the present day; and they who
indulge in tne observation of relics of the olden
time, may find themselves not uninterested in their
notice of the Cromwell House.
In the largest room of the mansion, in the month
of January, 1652, sat three persons, dressed ac
cording to the puritanical fashion of tho day. A
largo fire blazed from the antique grate, adding an
tiir of comfort to their forms, while they discussed
the varied topics of the times. But they shall
speak for themselves.
‘ Yea, the Lord of battles did that day grant unto
ns a crowning victory.* said one, whose stern, yet
marked and intellectual visage and nose, which had
so often excited the ribaldry of the Cavaliers, pro-
cUutnnd the first mail of his day—Oliver Crom
well.
“ Even so,’ replied his companion, Colonel Jet-
freys, to whom he addressed himself.
‘ But.’ added the usurper, 1 ho, the son of man,
hath escaped and while lie yet lives———’ Tho
speaker paused. 4 1 fear’ quivered on his lips, but
lie durst not let the words escape in the presence
of his adherents.
‘ Yea!’ interrupted Col. Martin, who until now
had continued silent, apparently wrapped in a
moody reverie, ‘ the malignantsare given unto tho

edge of the sword
branch ; root and branch are the’
fire!” and the speaker’s wild look and wilder
manner proclaimed him one of thoso stern and un
yielding bigots who had contributed to hew down
the obstacles in the path of their master to supreme
power.
44 Thou seemest possessed with a spirit,’ said
the usurper, regarding with a kind of grim satis
faction the vehement manner of his follower.
4 1 had a vision,’ resumed the fanatic, his eye9
gleaming almost with the fire of madness, 4 and a
voice came unto me in the watches of the night,
and it said, 4 Smite !* and I said, 4 Lord what shall
I smite ?’ and the voice answered me and said,
4 Smite the slayers of the lord’s people, root and
branch, hip and thigh ; kill and spare not!’
‘Yet,’ replied Colonel Jeffreys as the other sank
down almost exhausted by his vehemence, 4 me-
thinks enough bloml has been poured forth; there
is not ti cavalier in England durst show his head
—not a mouth dare name Charles Stuart with
with praise. Your prisons are full, and your
headsmen are satiated.’
‘You are eloquent,’ said Cromwell.
4 At least it is an eloquence which cotneth from
the heart,’ was the reply.
4 Accursed he they who would protect them,’
again said Martin. 4 Ere another week shall
have passed, one more shalt yet be added to the
list—he whom the vain call Sir John Desmond.*
4 And I say,’ retorted Jeffreys, ‘accursed be they
who would rejoice in the shedding of blood ; let
them beware, lest by man also shall their blood be
shed.’
4 Tho wife of him thou hast named,’ said Crom
well, 4 but yesterday sought my presence.’
4 Ami thou ’
4 Refused her,’ replied Cromwell, sternly. * Bet
ter and braver men than Desmond have fallen;
nor must he be spared.’
4 Yet,’ continued Jeffreys, 4 our cause is now se
cure, shall blood continue to How forever
4 Thou fearest, then,’ said Jeffreys 4 lest her
groans and supplications might win thee to grant
her request?!
4 Lead us not into temptation,* interposed Col.
Martin, in a deep reverie.
4 Thou,’ continued Jeffreys, unheedingthe speak
er, as if used to iiis singular manner, 4 thou who
hast refused so many, feared the tears and touch
ing eloquence of a woraon.*
4 And dost thou think,* said Cromwell, as with
his accustomed felicity, he changed the subject
far less displeasing to him, 4 dost thou not think
that the eloquence which floweth from reason, and
is assisted by forethought, is more powerful than
that which cotneth ou the instant, and 19 the off
spring, perchance, of prejudice?”
4 Nay,’ replied Jeffreys.
‘And,’ quickly interrupted Cromwell, ‘dost
thou think that 1 could so successfully have led
my people, had I trusted to the words which sprung
on a sudden, and which are not the result of a fix
ed principle?’
Col. Jeffreys smiled inwardly, for he well knew
that when Cromwell had been most successful, it
had been when he trusted to the power of his feel
ings, and not in any of these more labored discour
ses with which he was wont occasionally to mys
tify his auditiors; but he answered with more
policy than to betray his opinion.
4 1 ; believe,* was his reply, 4 that no power of
reason, no studied speech, or set praise, could
match the eloquence which springs pure and fer
vent from the bosom of the loving pleading for the
beloved.’
4 And 1,’ returned the other shortly, 4 believe as
decidedly that thou art wrong.’
“ What labored oration,’ pursued Jeffreys, 4 can
surpass David mourning for his son Absalom—
‘Oh ! Absalom, my son, my son, would to God I
had died for thee!”
‘Would, said Cromwell, abruptly, ‘would it
were even now in our power to test this thing!’
Suddenly the dher arose, and stood upright be
fore the general.
4 Pardon my boldness,’ he 6aid, 4 but your wish
es may be granted this hour, nay, this very min
ute.*
4 What meanest thou ?’
4 That this moment waiteth without the wife of
him you named but now, coine once more to plead
for her husband’s life.”
4 And darost thou ?* said Cromwell, angrily.
4 1 would have dared far more,’ said Colonel
Jeffreys, boldy. 4 She is the wife of one whom in
my youth 1 loved, but who hath been separated
from uie by the iron nature of the times. He loved
his king, /my country and its deliverer.”
There was somethin
something in the nature of this
speech that won tho pleased and silent attention of
the hearer, and he continued—
4 1 could not bear her tears, lier agonies, and
above all, her earnest despair. She is now with
out ; admit her, and see if her eloquent feeling
move not you as it did me; try if her despair be
not more touching than the voice of the hired ad
vocate.,
4 Admit her not—trust not the voice of the
charmer,’ exclaimed Colonel Martin. 4 Her hus
band hath drunk deep of the blood of our people ;
the axe is prepared—let it be glutted with his
blood.’
‘Peace my brother, I pray thee peace,* said
Cromwell. 4 Thou hast done wrong,’ he added,
turning to Col. Jeffreys, 4 but sho shall be admit
ted.*
Tho order was given to the attendants, and du
ring a pause which made Colonel Jeffreys trem
ble tor It is client, Lady Desmond was admitted.—
By this time, the sun had gone, and the light af
forded by the red flame of the fire, which threw its
glare fitfully aud uncertainly on the inmates of
that ancieut room, was all that remained to revoal
in Elizabeth Desmond, as she entered, a woman
of a sad and stately presence, and one ou whom, if
tho lapse of years had dono much, the weight of
grief had done more, but ueither had power to bow
her form, or to quench tlie fire of an eye which
looked mourntully but unqu&ilingly on tne fi^P*

For a minute Cromwell moved not, spoke not,
and even scarcely breathed. It seemed an age to
the agonized pleader. At last he ntterea, as
though the power of speech had suddenly come to
him:—
‘Woman, thy prayer it granted; go in pewe I”
Then turning to Col Jeffreys he said:—•

From the Alabama TribJ
Raising Males. v __ 1
Messus. Editors—The animals at the uead o.
this article are almost invariably used on the large
plantations in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and
and Louisiana, yet but few of them comparatively
are raised here, but come mostly from feentmeky
and Tennessee.
Now, I insist that we ought to raise our own
mules, and that we could do it fer cheaper than
we could buy them. The business would be pecu
liarly applicable to the situation of a «n.ll planter,
especially one where white bands do the principal
part or all the work. Let the owner tarn all Me
work animals into stout hardy mares, and If of
large breed so much the better, let them be so timed
that the colts would oome, say in July and Au
gust ; let him sow a good proportion of small gmin
and raise a good crop of peas in his ootn at tbs time
his colts came he would have plenty of pasture
and would so continue till late in November, gen
erally from his stubble and stalk fields. The first
season after the first of August that would bring
up a stand, let him sow a field or lot of rye for pas
ture for the winter. This, when the stubble and
stalk fields failed, would be good pasture anA
would so continue for the winter and almost har
vest time ; thus a nearly continuous succession of
pasture would be secured, and hence little grain
would be needed. I hazard the assertion that
mules can ho raised this way of the best size ami
form, and never eat 15 bushels of com ea> h, and
in February, two years after their being folded,
will be ready for market and will sell at from 50
to 60 dollars, even in the event of property not ri
sing in price. In this way lands may be preserv
ed and more money made and much labor saved.
At the prices and rate of product now aviating, a
crop of wheat is worth more than a crop of cotton
besides the pasture. SUMPTER.
Mr. Walsh, the Paris correspondent of the Liv-
ing Age, gives the following interesting account of
the late Presidential election:
The peasantry of the interior, marched to the
polls with their Napoleon tickets at the end of
cleft sticks and drams beating; in many dktricts,
when asked .about their choice they answered;
“ We do not mean to vole fer a republican, we hare
have had enough of the republic.” “ WeO then,
they were told," if you do want the repebUe, vote
for Bonaparte.” Yesterday, I asked the vferthv
tailor whom I have employed for many yean, ana
who is an officer in the national gustos, how he
voted. “For Napoleon to be snre. Wbea he per
ceived I was not edified, he added: ‘'Ptaaafbnr it
was stupid on my part; but, In troth, I eotddno
longer bear with this cursed republic.” 8oehWas
the feeling of the burgeois in general.
Of the memory of the Emperor Naieunon,
among the French, Mr. Walsh writes:
“You must have travelled over Frmnoe, as I have
done in every direction, to comprehend how me
mentoes, in the forms of pictures, busts, inscrip
tions, almanacs, narratives, songs, local honors,
are mutiplied and diffused; not a private or pub:
ana image do not
lie edifice in which his name
predominate. Thirty three yean hare elapsed
since his reign; his omnivorous and irendereot-
ism is forgotten; his veterans and alitht nnred
soldiery spread in rural districts, hare constantly
turned the national spirit, so enamiorad of war and
glory, to the homage which make* nbariy the bn-
si ness of their lives.”
