COLUMBUS TIMES.
TUESDAY, SEPT3MITER 14
Administration—Douglas Democrat
Hon. John B. Haskin—a Douglas democrat
of New York—is a candidate tor re-election. At
a meeting in Tarrytown, the spot where the trea
son of Benedict Arnold was developed—there
were many loiters read in his favor from distin
guished men- Among others, we see published
one from H Winter Davis, Esq., of Mary land—a
a Southern abolition know-Nothiug. He wants
Mr. Haskia re-elected, so as to rebnke the Ad
ministration and its Kansas policy. Ho says: “I
beg you to allow me to avail my seif of the occa
sion to assure you of my earnest hope that Mr.
Haskin may receive the vote ot all who offl/o&ed
President Bnchanan's administration-
The President's attempt to force on the people
of Kansas the Lecompton Constitution is the most
flagrant and dangerous assault on the public lib
erty, which the history of the country attends.”
Would not the rc-election of Mr. Haskin be a
triumph ot the opposition I Mr. Davis wants an
amalgamation of“aii” other parties to boat down
the democracy.
But, Mr. Haskin is not only endorsed by Mr.
Davis, hut the veritable Hotace Gieely himself
wants him re-elected. Thir we a re
proach upon democracy. Horace Greely is the
head and front of abolitionism aud desires ihs re
election of Mr. Haskin. But the proof; he-.-ays :
“but I improve the opportunity offered by your
letter to state hat I regard Mr. Haskin's cour.-e
in Congress last winter with hearty t.pproral and
that I deem his re-election important, not alone to
our district, but to our State and the whole Coun
try.” These words surely have a signifieancy
that we cannot fully appreciate at this moment.
Again he says, ‘ please count me in wilh his
supporters for the contest now before us, and for
all future contests which he shall represent
and uphold the principles now embodied by them’
This endorsement ot Haskin'B course by a Black
Republican, requires no further comment.
Kansas.
The following is an extract from a letter, dated
August 26 h, 1853. from a gentleman of high char
acter residing in the Territory :
* * * “ There is but little of interest in
the Teiritory, Everything is quiet, and there is
not the sligiitest probability of any further distur
bance. Now and then someone proposes anew
constitution, but it meets with no lavor.”
Yellow Fever
This disease still eont'nues in many oi our
Southern cities. The average deaths per day in
New Orleans are about fifty. One day going be
yond this numbor, another falling below it. In
Cliatleslou there were one hundred or more deaths
last week. Mobile Is still inlected with the dis
ease, averaging one or mors every day. Deaths
have also occurred at Jackson, Mississippi, Gal
veston and other points, supposed to be from yel
low fever.
It will he seen there are a few spasmodic cases
in Savannah. There is no fear, however, lliat
the disease will spread. There has never been a
case of the yellow fever in this city, which origi
nated here.
Yellow Fevek —The Board of Health reports
76 deaths from yellow fever in New Orleans lor
the twenty-four hours ending at noon on Tuesday
the Bth.
Health of Augusta.—The Board of Health
reports five deaths in this city, says the Augusta
Constitutionalist Sept, lilh, during the week
ending the 9th instant—whites two, and colored
three. Threo weie children and two were adults
Two of this number died by cholera infantum;
two by inflammation of the bowels, and one by
paralysis.
The cily is unusually healthy, for which all
should feel grateful to the Supreme power that
coutrols the health, life and death of communi
ties.
TnE Tiiade—Yesterday was not so busy a day
as we expect dating the present week. Mon
days and Saturdays are tho dullest days during the
week in our city. The wagons loaded with cot
ton from the adjoining counties generally reach
Columbus in the middle of the week, so as to re
turn before Sabbath. The traders reviving in
every department of our cily, and businessmen
seldom welcome a more forward season. It it
continues during the next month with the same
activity as now, it is probable that the price oi
cotton will soon reach its highest point. This is
the opinion of those, who pretend to understand
the fluctuations of the cotton market. The gro
cery trade, os well as the cotton, is brisk and
active.
A Duel in France—Mr. Charles Astor Br:s
ted, of New York, lately fought a duel with the
Marquis Galifet, a Lieutenant in the French army
They bad only one shot, and nobody hurt, It was
all about a letter written to a New Y'oik journal
by Bristed. ,
New Y t ork Nomination —The Republicans
of New York have nominated E. B. Morgan for
Governor and Robert Campbell Lieutenant Gov
ernor. The Republicans and Americans will
unite upon the same tieket, it is believed, to break
down the Democracy.
Cotton Planters’ Convention.—This Con
vention meets in Macon, Ga. on Tuesday, to-day.
It is said that the oifferent counties interested will
be tuily represented, and that hu-iaess. oi import
ance to the planting community will be brought
before them.
{gp* The religious meeting at Pierce Chapel
is still going on with unabated interest. The ser

Paraguay.—Jndge Bowlin accepts the mission

The Trial of the Slave Traders.—
At the hearing before JuJge Magrath, the
decision of the Judge was delivered refus
ing the writ ol certiorari, prayed for by the
prisoners. The Court then proceeded to
the hearing of the arguments for and
against the writ of habeas corpus. The
argument of the learned counsel wsa very
able, and much public interest excited.—
The Court held the determination of the
petition for advisement and will decide at
some future day, not at present definitely
fixed.
Having an Eye to It. —A barrister, blind
ot one eye, pleading with his spectacles on.
said : “Gentlemen, in my argument I shall
use nothing but what is necessary.” “Then, ’
observed a person in court, “take out on#

From the N. O. Crescent.
Tampico taken by the Liberals.
Mr. Hudson, purser ot the steamship Gen.
Husk, from Brazos, St. lagd, informs us
that an express from Victoria arrived at
Matamoras, oh the first inst., with intelli
gence that the city of Tampico w as taken
an the 24th ult., by the Liberals, consisting
of four hunred Frontier Riflemen, under
Capestran, assisted by a revolt inside the
wails.
In the Brownsvilie*i*7g, of the Ist inst.,
we find! the following confirmation of th
above:
News has been received in Matamoras to
the effect that tho citizens aud merchants
of Tampico were growing exceeding tired
of being caged up, and were making over
tures to the besiegers to deliver to them
the city. The citizens, poor souls, have
iong quietly suffered, simply because they
could not help themselves, and the opulent
merchants, who have all along controlled
affairs, have deemed it to their advantage
to hold on*. But they have found their
profits materially curtailed when confined
to the city limits. Besides, Gov. Garza
has managed to possess himself of a talis
man of wonderful power in controling their
movements. This talisman consists of
three hundred cargoes of rich goods.—
These goods are held to be of more value
to them than their fidelity to Zuloaga or to
Moreno, and hence the change in their sen*
t me::ts. Surely money is king.
From the London Times, Aug, 23.
The Queen’s and President’s Message.
VVe publish to-day the first fruits of the
electric communication which has been es
tablished between the New and Old World.
The first message sent was from the Queen
of England to the President of the United
Stales; the second the reply trom the other
side. There is here far more than a formal
interchange of compliments between the
heads of two powerful communities- We
fully believe that the effect of bringing the
three Kingdoms and the United States into
instantaneous communication wilh each
o lter will be lo render hostilties between
the two nations almost impossible lor the
future.
Take as an example the three last instan
ces of difference between ourselves and
our trans-Atlantic cousins. These have
been —lst, as to right of visiting vessels with
the view of ascertaining their nationality ;
secondly, the question of the fisheries; and,
thirdly, that o! the enlistments during the
Russian war. Now, it is not too much to
say that the most fiery politician in the
States, who might have been desirous ot
making a little political capital out of these
notable heads of quarrel, would have been
fairly checkmated it the English govern
merit had possessed the power of unde
ceiving the American public before the
sparks had been fanned into flame.
There ought not, between two nations
whose interests are ch ady identical, to be
any points of difference which honest Min
j isters on either side could not adjust in a
few hours by the help of the Atlantic Tel
egraph. It is also certain that one of the
first results of this electric post will be an
enormous growth of the commercial rela
tions between the two countries. Trades
men are not generally anxious to blow the
warehouses and stores of their Deal custom
ers oft the face of the earth. It is scarcely
too much to suppose that il the two greai
Anglo-Saxon States remain firmly unfed—
fused together, as they now are, by this
electric agency—he would be a bold conti
nental statesman who should venture to try
conclusions with them in a warlike way.
United, we are master wherever there is
salt water enough to float a ship’s boat.
Theie can be no stronger guaranty for ihp
peace of the world. We fear, however,
that the President of the United States is
somewhat sanguine when be expects that
other nations will respect our submarine
lines of communication in case of war.
The conclusion is a most desirable one, no
doubt, aid heartily shali we rejoice if it
can be attained, but it is to be feared that
the forbearance and philanthropy of other
nations will scarcely extend so lar.
For the moment it must he remembered
that tho cable is only extended between two
points of the British dominions, although
the first line is, of course, hut the fruilfu l
parent of many others. A minor, but still
an important result of this now method of
instantaneous communication, will be that
the escape of malefactors from one side to
the other will become an impossibility. A
person guilty, let us say, of forgery or em
bezzlement, would be safe as soon as he
put himself on board ship under the new
system. Once there, he would be fairly
trapped, and find the officers of justice
waiting for him in the pilot boat on the
other side. It is with great satisfaction that
we lay before our readers this day the mes
sages of the Queen of England and of the
President of the United Slates, which have
been thus exchanged instantaneously under
the waters of the Atlantic. Well may Mr.
Buchanan write, ‘‘This is a triumph more
glorious, because far more useful to man
kind, lhan was ever-won bv conqueror on
the field of battle.” May the triumph be
as lasting as it is glorious, and bring forth
fruit in the form of perpetual amity and
good-wiil between the two great Anglo-
Saxon communities.
The China News.
The China peace news was received in
London via St. Petersburg, Russia, through

“A telegraphic despatch,received by the
French Government from the Duke de Mon
tebello, its representative at St. Petersburg,
announces the termination ol the difficulty
w-iih the Court of Pekin. The Chinese Gov
ernment have, according to this intelligence,
consented lo the terms demanded, arms in
hand, by England and France, and, in a
more pacific manner, by Russia and the
United States.
This despatch affords a further proof of
the admirable arrangements organised by
the Russian government for the transmis

fail to give fresh encouragement to those

Proclamation of the Governor of New

New Y’ork. Spt. B. — The destruction by
the mob ol’ the Quarantine buildings, lias
induced Governor King of this -State, to is
sue the following proclamation. It is dated
at Albany, yesterday, the 7th inst.
PROCLAMATION.
The deliberate and wanton destruction
by a large mob ot armed men, of the build
ings, dwelling house and hospitals at quar
antine station, the property of the people
of this State ; th© cruel and inhuman drag
ging forth of sick aud disabled patients from
hospitals, respected always, even in war;
their barbarous exposure, without shelter,
throughout an inclement night; the gener
al concurrence in and approval of these vio
lent acts by the people of the county of
Richmond, and especially by those who re
side in the neighborhood of the quarantine
grounds; the undistinguished and determin
ed manner iu which all these outrages were
committed, evincing a total disregard and
contempt of the laws: of afl their obliga
tions and duties as citizens and men—all
combined, present, it: my judgment, a case,
which, standing alone iu its enormity and
violence, appeal directly to the chief magis
trate of the State, whose duty it is to see
that the laws are faithfully executed, to as
sert and maintain the dignity of the State,
and tho authority of those laws so con
temptuously and barbarously denied aud
trodden under foot:
Now, therefore, acting upon the high re
sponsibility of my office, and desirous to
vindicate the supremacy of the laws, I de
nounce these acts of arson and outrage as
crimes of the highest infamy, and for the
purpose of bringing the people ot the coun
ty of Richmond io a just sense ol the enor
mity of these crimes wiiich they have per
mitted to be perpetrated without any at
tempt at interference with or to punish
well -known actors in all these terrible scenes
of violence, burning and bloodshed, and to
guard against threats, which are yet made,
that ships lying at quarantine shall bo fired
and buildings for the accommodation of the
sick, who are now houseless, as well as
those who may arrive from infected south
ern ports, would be destroyed as soon as
erected, and for ihe security of ihe cities ol
New Y’ork and Brooklyn trom contagion
and pestilence, I is-ue this proclamation,
and call upon I1 civil authorities of the
countv of Richmond and upon each and all
of tho inhabitants instantly and zealously to
co operate in restoring the outraged neace
and order of the Island, and in bringing to
condign punishment the well-known, bold
and principal actors and abettors of those
acts of arson and ntnrder.
And I declare that by reason of the acts
and proceedings herein referred to, and the
refusal of the sheriff ot the county of Rich
mond, although repeatedly notified that
threats had been made to destroy the public
properly at quarantine, to take any sieps to
prevent the consummation of those threats,
and the absolute necessity for an adequate
force to protect buildings to be erected for
the sick, on the very site where diey stood,
until provision shall be made by law for
their removal to some other place, and to
release a police force withdrawn from the
general service of the cities of New Y ork
and Brooklyn and now stationed at quaran
tine, that the county of Richmond is in a
stage of insurrection ; and in order to assist
in preserving and to protect the property
of the State and lives of the sick, that a
military force of sufficient strength be de
tailed and stationed at quarantine until a
returning of the people of Richmond
county to their duties and obligations as
peaceful citizens shall render its presence
unnecessary, or until the Legislature shall
otherwise direct. Signed,
John A. King.

A Bank “Blown Up.”—The Bank of
Memphis was blown up by gas, on the 6th
inst. The Memphis Ledger, says :
On Saturday last, the gas burner in the
iron vault was left burning. As soon its
the atmospheric air within was consumed,
(the oxygen it contained) the burner went
out When Air. Roach opened the vault
and lighted a match inside, the gas having
filled the vault, at once exploded, sending
him and Mr. Gilleland with great violence
to tiie front end of the room, bursting oui
the front doors which had not been open
ed, and also breaking the heavy oaken
back doot into fragments, which, strange
to tell, is immediately behind the vault.—
The vault itself is uninjured.

Dinner to Gen. Bonham —His Speech.
The last number of the Edgefield Advertise)
brio: u- an ac-'i unt of what transpired at the
Complimentary D.nner given to the Hon. M. L.
Bonham byjiis constituents at Edgefield, S. C.
This compliment was intended a3 au expression oi
their approval of his vote upon the Conference
Bill. In the speech which he made on the occa
sion, therefore, it was na rally expected that he
would review that measure and vindicate his
course. This lie did at some leugth, employing
tire programme of argument at ion with which our
readers are already familiar, and which, for that
reason, we will nit reproduce. The threatened
attempt of the Black Republicans to ignore the
restriction in the Conference B ; ll and to bring
Kansas into the Union under anew Constitution
without the required population, in defiance ol its
explicit pledges and provisions, he announced his
determination to oppose. In relation thereto he
says:
“ It would be an indignity to the South, little
less in magnitude than the rejection ot a Slave
Slaie. Gov. Denver may not convene tbe Legis
lature. If so. a Qonstitulioo can not well he got
ten up regularly lor the next Session, as the Legis
turedoes not hold its regular Session till January.
I am sure no such irregular Constitution as the
Topeka will be accepted. Hence the application
may not be made this Session. 11 it is, or a Bill
to repeal the restriction should be introduced, the
member who votes to repeal it, having voted lor
the restricliou last winter, deserves tho execration
of the entire country. I writ vote with the lriends
of the Bill against the repeal at any time. And
I will cheerfully support a general law to the same
effect.” The course ol the President last winter,
after the dismi-al of Walker, he luiiy endorsed.
He also spoke in commendation oi his policy and
action ou the” right of search” question and the
Mormon troubles. In respect to the coutest in Il
linois, considering that the choice must ultimately
be between Douglas and a Black Republican, he
I takes the position advocated by several ptessesin
the South, and is in favor of the election of the
former. He considers that the election of a Black
Republican President would evince such a deep
rooted and relentless determination on the part ot
tho North to oppress and degrade iM. as would
make it incompatible with the dignity and ■safety
of the South to remain in the Union after that
event.i&Ho differs reluctantly, but radically, with
Senator Hammond en the question ot a distinction
between “ States Rights” and “ National Demo
crats.” National Democrats, he says, look to
National parties and the General Government fur
the ptotection of the rights of the people and the
States—states Rights Democrats look to the
States themselves. He thinks, nevertheless, that
we should continue to act with the National De
mocracy, so long as we can, for tbe lollowiog
reasons :
“ The two great parlies are becoming daily
more sectional. Among the Northern Dem
ocrats there are many tried and true men to the
Constitution and the rights ol the South. Such
men should be “grappled” to us “with hooks of
steel.” The others are nearer to us than the
enemy. Having Jailed to secede alonv in 1852,
we should now act with the States Rights par
ties in the other Southern States, among whom
are to be tcuod as strong States Rights men as
there are in this State. They act with the Dem
ocratic party. YVe will thus more readily secure
the proper concert when the occasion arise? lor
the States to interpose their sovereignty lor the
protection of their rights. The Democratic parly
is now chiefly in the South, only thres large
Northen States at the last Presidental election
having voted lor a Democratic candidate. The
Stales Rights element in the Southern Democratic
party is a strong and growing element, and it we
can ever preserve our rights in the Union it must
be by that element’s controlling the Democratic
party of the country. If we lail to preserve our
rights in the Union, and are constrained to try it
out, we will the better accomplish that end by
now making common cause with those who feel
aud act with us..
I therefore think our irue policy is to meet them
in Convention, but would recommend in doing so,
that we should not compromise a single States
Rights principle. If the element adverse To the
rights of the States should prevail again, as it
ono-j did, we could but return to the attitude we
then occupied.”
Several letters wore read at the meeting irom
distinguished gentlemen, in some ol which views
were expros-ed differing essentially with those en
tertained by Mr. Bonhau, but chiefly it) regard to
the policy of receiving Douglas and ol co-oper
ating with the National Democracy in the next
Democratic Convention. The lighter and. per
haps to many, more agreeable festivities ol’ the
occasion we have not the space to notice.
Syracuse Conventions —Republicans
and Americans.
The two Conventions w hich sat at Syracuse in
New York, on Thursday, (Sept. Bth) composed
respectively of the Black-Republican and Ameri
can patties, will have an influence directly or indi
rectly upon the politics of the whole Country.
Both Conventions assembled on the same day
for the avowed purpose ot a fusion ot all the dis
cordant elements to the democracy, upon a com
mon platform and a tiiket for State officers.—
From t) careful perusal of the proceedings ot both
Conventions, we are led irresistibly to the conclu
sion that the Black Republican Convention treat
ed the American Convention badly.
YVe relate the circumctanccs to our readers,
know ng that it cannot fail to interest them, as it
will have a bearing upon the political que-tions
which are soon to be discussed in our State.
A committee of Conference was appointed hy
tbe two Conventions to agree upon a common
platform, composed of eight delegates from each
body. They met and Gen. Nye, as chaitman of
the Black Republican committee, made the follow
ing report as agreed upon by the two committees,
two members ofthe Republican Committee dissen
ting only, to-wit:
■‘That the two committees had met and
compare! judgments, and And a union on
the questi n ol slavery, and that we are oppos
ed to its extension in the Territories ot the Untt.d
States, and that each State has the supreme, un
controlled and exclusive power to decide for itself
whether slavery shall cease or coitinue within
its limits ; that we agree upon the necessity oI es
tablishing a registry law of Borne kind in this
State, to prevent iraud s upon the ballot; that the
recent frauds committed in this State under the
naturalization laws, induce us to believe that it is
important that the time should he extended be-‘
tween the naturalization and the right to vote a?
now provided by the Constitution, and that the
time be extended as long as required of a non
resident of this State; that we mutually agree tha>
it is our duty to unite our energies and efforts to
defeat our common enemy, the pro-slavery party.’
Upon the consideration of this report by the
Republican Convention, Mr. Upham in behalf o
himself and another member ot the Conference
Committee, stated the groundsofhis objection to
the report—that he had offered the following reso
lution which had been rejected by the American
Committee, to-wit:
“That the dicta of the Supreme Court in the
Dred Scott decision, deepens the obligations rest
ing on us to oppose the extension of’slavery, and
affirming the powers of Congress to exclude sla
very from the territories at their discretion.”
Another gentleman objected to the report, “be
cause it was proposed that citizens of foreign birth
should be submitted to peualties to which native
born men are not subjected-that the preposition was
too clearly unconstitutional.” Gen. Nye stated
“ihat he would yield to no man in fidelity to al
Republican priucip'es”—that he considered the
resolution rejected by the Americans, contained a
-ermon in prayer—lhat it was ail covered by t! e
resolution opposing the extension of slav. ry in
the territories, which was adopted in the lace oi
the dicta of the Supreme Court.” He did not
understand the Americans to be opposed to the
resolution offered by Mr. Upham,” but they were
not willing to adopt it as it was.”
The report ofthe Conference Committee was
then referred to the Committee on Resolutions,
which was a virtual rejection. After which, they
proceeded to nominate a c indidaie lor Governor
Mr. E D. Morgan received the highest number ot
votes for Governor, and Mr Robert Campbell for
Lieutenant Governor, and they were proclaimed
the nominees. In the meantime the report was
received by the American Convention, but on
hearing ihe action ofthe Black Republican Con
vention, which they cousidered “unfair,” they re
solved not to fill up the balance of the ticket as
requested by the Repub ieans, but went to work on
their own accord and nominated a thorough Ame
rican ticket. Mr. Lorenzo Burrows is their can
didate for Governor and Nathaniel S. Benton tor
Lieutenant Governor. Thus t will bs seen that
the anticipated coalition between these two parties
is not effected, although there ii a perfeet harmo
ny of views in relation to the question ol slavery
ia the territories-
The Ladies.—Warm Springs
A gentleman, who has been recently at the
Warm Springs, in a letter to the Savannah Re
publican, p&ys the ibllowii g tributo to tho ladies
of Columbus
“Peihapsyou will expect me to say a word about
the ladies here. Know then, that in numbers,
beauty, and the artistic fini-h of (heir toilets, the
Columbus ladies bear Ihe palm—and ihat beyond
dispute. This is no small praise— since there have
been here ladies from Mobile, Montgomery, the
country circumjacent, and from other points ol un
questioned tasle in dress,of tiue manner-” and good
looks. I think that Columbus has lurtiised at
least twenty ladies during the season, anyone ol
whom is so beautiful or handsome as to be notice
able. You will be surprised to be assured, per
haps, that, taken as a whole, the costumes are
more elegant, better put on, and better worn here
than at Saratoga. They have a morning dress, a
dress for dinner and one for the ball room—each
complete in itself —with a frequency in changing
them as refreshing to look at, as it must be alarm*
ing to the pockets of papas and husbands. 1 as
sure you that the old Slate has no reason to be
ashamed of her daughters—and I must add, that
I have not seen one woman here this season who
could be deemed at all “fast.”’
I’he wriieralso pays a deserved compliment to
tho gentlemanly and entertaining proprietor, Mr.
Davis, and evinces a keen appreciation of the
amenities ofthe Springs'’ boih gastronomieal and
social.
The Daily Times.
We are gratified to intoim our readers that the
issuing ol ihe Daily Times is in tbe lull tide of
successful experiment. The people of Columbus
and those ol the surrounding country, where they
have the facilities of a daily mail, appreciaiing our
efforts to establish a well conducted newspaper
containing ths latest tolegraph c intelligence from
foreign as well as home ports, and information
upon all questions of public interest, havu given
us unmistakenble prools of their determination to
remunerate us with the fruit of our labors.
The Times is now finding its way to many post
offices, where it has been a stranger heretofore.
YVe may fully calculaie upon as large and wide
spread circulation as any journal in the State.—
This we say without disparaging the claims of
any of our cotemporaries to public favor. Rejoic
ing in the bright hopo of success that awaits us,
and wilh a heart full of gratitude to onr subscri
bers, who are every where increasing our c rctila
tiun beyond our merits, we shall press forward
with all our energy and leeble ability to render the
Daily Times one ofthe most readable papers in
the Country. We hope our Iriends will not grow
“weary in well-doing” and will continue to show
evidence of their good will, by fencing us long
lists of new-made acquaintances. Our cotempo
raries of the Press will not be forgotten for the
complimentary manner they have teen fit to men
tion our daily visits to their sanctum.
The Emperor Napoleon’s Speech at
Rennes.
The following is the speech which was
deliver©© by the Emperor Napoleon at the
great banquet (or breakfast,) at Rennes:—
Gentlemen —1 have visited Brittany as
much from a sense of duty as from sympa
thy with its inhabitants. It was my duty
to become acquainted with a part of France
which I had not yet visited; and it was
gratifying to my feelings to find myself in
the midst of the Breton people who are be
fore all mnnarchi.il, Catholic, and martial.
Tiie departments of the west have frequent
ly been represented as being a: imated with
sentiments different from those of the rest
ofthe nation. The warm acclamations
which have welcomed the Empress and
myself throughout the whole ot our jour
ney, contradict such ar. us. erti m. Jl France
is not completely homogeneous it. her na
ture, she is unanimous in her feelings.
She desires a government sufficiently sta
ble to remove all chance of political convul
sions; sufficiently enlightened to lavor real
progress and ihe development of the hu
man mind; sufficiently equitable to welcome
the assistance of all right minded men, what
ever may have been their previous polit
ical opinions; sufficiently conscientious to
declare that it strongly protects the Catholic
rehgion while at the same time accepts
freedom of wor.-hip; in short, a govern
ment strong enough from its internal union
to be respected as it ought to be in the
councils of Europe. It is because I, the
elect of the nation, represent thoso ideas,
that I have everywhere seen the people
flock towards me and encourage me by
their demonstrations.
Be assured, genllemen that the remem
brances of our journey into Brittany will
remain deeply engraven on the heart of the
Empress and on mine. We shall never
forget the solicitude which has been shown
for the Prince Imperial both in towns and in
the country; the people everywhere re
gardiog our son as the pledge of their future
welfare. I thank you, gentlemen, for hav
ing organized this meeting, which has giv
en me an opportunity of expressing my
ideas, and I conclude by giving a toast to
Brittany, which is here so honorably repre
sented. In order that its agriculture may
soon develope itself: its means of commu
nication be completed ; its ports be improv
ed ; ils manufactures and commerce pros
per, and that science and the arts may flour
ish in it, my support shall not be found
wanting ; but while hastening its progress
in the path of civilization, may it preserve
intact the noble sentiments which have dis
tinguished it for so many centuries. May
it preserve that simplicity of manners, that
proverbial lrankness, that fidelity to sworn
faith, that preserverance in duty, and that
submission to the will of God, who watches
over the humblest domestic hearth as well
as over the high destinies of empires.—
Such’ gentleman, are tny wishes, and
you the worthy interpreters of them.

Periocucals.—Southem Literature-
The Souihem Lite a y M* ssei g r, for Septem
bjr, has reached us. It is an excellent monthly
periodtcH-, p b'ishtd in a Southern Slate and nev
er fails to exhibit an earne-t cLvolion, seconded
>y marked ability, to southern insti u ions. It
las nearly completed the thirty-fourth year of i 9
career, and, to the shame of the southern people,
its success presents an anomalous and almost isola
od tact in the history of Sou hern periodical luera
ure. The foundation of this reproach exists not
hy reason of any want of Southern enterprise to
undertake, or of Southern genius to conduct the
business of supplying the public with literary lood.
Time after time such efforts have been jnaJe;
but, as often, they have ended in discouragement
and defeat. The difficulty lies iu a habitual
proneness o f the Southern people, to look to the
North for their exemplars in the empire of tasic
fnd fashion, and in an unreasoning and self-abas
ing enthusiasm for whatever may come endorse
ed with a y tukee label. Southern patronage tn
courages and supports the periodical literature of
the north. Southern money is the motive power
ihat drives the pens of their abolition editors—
There is hardly a book-seller’s table or a family
p irlor in our Southern cities which is not visited
monthly by “Haipcr;** \et its pages have been
filled with articles which could not have reeked,
to a greater degree, with the filth and vurttm of
abolition frenzy, had they bem penned fy Hale or
Sumner- The time for a change hu9 come. We
have scooped the health impairing waters from the
dead sea of their abominations long enongli. The
same encouragement, expended at home, would
strike the rock of Snuthern genius, whence
would gush a living stream to ove;fL>w and fer
tilize the land.

aud the tail can be seen hi tinctly with an erdi

after sunset and au hour before sunrise. Four
o'clock in the morning is the best time to expect
it. It may be looked tor in a line with the two

angle with Arolurus. Astronomers compute that
the comet is now about 140.00p.l 00 of miles dis

ring the first week in October it will be of the most

Mew York Militia Ab ‘Ct to Visit lijeland.
—The Sixty-ninth regiment, Mew Wrk State
Militia, commanded by Colonel Bryan, are rnuk
ing arrangements to pay a visit to lteiand by one
of the Hal way steamers. They have already had
several meetings, and upwards of a hundred mem
bers, we believe, have signified their intention of
carrying out ibis novel project. But there is an
obstacle in the way of it/ fulfillment which wrll
have to be overcome. The British government
may not permit a regiment of green coats, with
arms in their hands, to land in the bay of Galway
although ill the preeent apathetic condition of the
people there would be very Jiff e danger to the
peace of her Majesty’s realm to be feared from the
appearanco of a whole army ol Irish-Ameriein
citizens. However, Colonel Ryan has appl ed to
Lord Napier on the sul jeel.and he has written to
his government to know whethvr there would be
any objection to the Six'y ninth’s paying a friend
ly visit to the “ old sod.” Arrangements have
been made with the prot rietorsol the Galway line
to take the regiment at hall tfe ususal far-. If
they should go, there is no douhr they will gel a
very hearty reception, not only in Galway, but in
every city in Ireland.
