In the sixteenth century, there arose in.
! England a party opposed to the king, I
and in favor of a republican form of go- I
I vernment, in which the people would have ‘
a voice. The partv adopted as their
inntto, “We hope iij God.” The itiitia's, !
or fi- si letter of each word combined, read
; -‘Whig, and were used to name nr desig
nate die parly. Thus the word “Whig”
orginallv meant opposition to kings and
monarchies, and friendship for the very
form of government under which we exist.

Mr. Fillmore’s chances for the nomia
nation are growing better every day, and
we are fully convinced that he will be the
candidate of the friends of the Compro
mise for the next Presidency. We are ol
v
opinion that a better man could not be se
lected by any party. He is every way
qualified to fill the highest station within
the gili of the people, and no charges can
lie brought against him, either as a States
man or President. It is true he rigorous
ly interfered in (fie late Cuban invasion
for which lie is only condemned by a set
of reckless fanatics who would even sever
the Ametican Union to gratify their tin
! holy amhation, but all who have die peace
| prosperity of their country at heart,
j look upon it as the crowning act of his
presidential career. We are free to con
fess that he is our choice, fur |iis acts have
Voved him to he a lover of the Union

Mr. Editor; I wish to know if the
by-laws of this city do not forbid the
shooting of guns and pistols within its iiu
corporate limits; and if they do, why does
our Council suffer their laws violated day
after day and niglfl after night, unnoticed.
Shot are continually falling within our
limits, liable to do serious damage, each
shot arousing the apprehensions of onr
sober citizens that all is not right in the
quarter from whence the report came.—
These apprehensions are rendered more
annoying, from the fact that nil other cit
ies suppress the practice, and it is hut
natural for those accustomed to city life,
to expect these sounds to be the harbin
gers of a bloody tragedy. I, for one,
would like to see this annoyance entirely
suppressed, but if the Council do not in
tend to notice it they should make that
fact publicly known, so that we may all
join ill the sport, and annoy each other as
much as possible. A CITIZEN.

A San Francisco correspondent of

adds that society is good, churches well
attended, Sabbath and day schools flour

The winter, which, is drawing to a

though the price is well kept up.

Louis Napoleon, says n Paris letter,
having bought up the at my, flattered the
church, improvised a constitution, and
butchered the people, is now turning his
! attention to the regulation of the Univer
sity of France. After regulating war,
diplomacy, politics, religion and morals,
he is turning his attention to the impor
tant subject of education. His first act has
been the banishment of history and mor
al philosophy from the course of univer
sity study. And therein he is wise, and
displays a wonderful sagacity. History
and philosophy would teacli the youth of
France two or three great lessons which
it will be better for the Prince President
that they should not know. The first
would leach them that great national
crime#, such as the outrage and murder
of the December usurpation, sooneror la
ter find their fitting retribution, while the
second would show tltpni that perjury, au
dacity and conceit, though they may meet’
a temporary success, are sure to end iir
disastrous overthrow and disgrace.—
Therefore it is that Mr. Louis Napoleon
has erased history and philosophy from
the books of the student. In former days
there was a body of men who legislated
and decreed against the dinrrnl motion of
tlie enrlli, niirl Mr. Louis Napoleon is
certainly following their example.

THE FREJTCn MOVEMENT ON THE WENT COAST
OF MEXICO.
The New York Herald of Friday, con
tains the following fas we think)- a very
improbable story. We give it as we find
it hi that paper :
New Orleans* 4[>ril 16.
To the Editor oj the New York Her
aid :—
Sir —By a passenger direct from Cal
ifornia, the following astounding intelliv
genre of the movements of Louis Napo*
leon on the Pacific has been received.—
Fot some lime before the French out
break at Sonora* numbers ©f Frenchmen
reached the place and vicNtjiy, and in bo
dies of twenty to sixty; they continue to*
come. Many of them Were recognized
hy old French settlers as persons who had
been expatriated* and (so the public pa
pers stated) sent to Cayenne, Gaudeloupe,
&cc.; and it is now believed beyond a
doubt, that those persons who. have been
arrested, and sent off secretly to those
places, and others, have been landed at
different points of the American gulf, Pa
cific coast, and then, and not (ill. then,
apprised of the object in view,, and cause
ol arrest; at which time funds were placed
in their bauds to reach Sonora, and there
place themselves under the guidance of
persons appointed to receive them. They
are generally strong athletic men* and
many who have been in office, and capa
ble of governing.
Instead of preparations being made by
lumia Napoleon to attack England, the
array ol heavy line ships and steamers are
for the Pacific coast. The object is Sol
omon’s “land of Ophir,” by the wealth of
which lie aims to be monarch of the w orld,
and lie has fixed upon ten years to ac
complish the design. The late royal let>
ter to the President of Mexico, signed
Louis Napoleon, is understood at Vera
Cruz to he in connection with this move
ment. ‘1 he first step in (his unpreceden
ted act of ambition, to accomplish the
—“ J Ml tpJ ■ !■ -.1
object and secure the ready money, was
to rob the Bank of France; second the
seizure of the Orleans property; third, bill
ol cost for Belgium; and now the gold
dust of Tarsliish.
The ships of Hiram, in peaceful atti
tude, approaching the land of Opbir, was
but a type, in centuries past, of the com
ing armada of Louis Napoleon.
The scheme is juR disclosing itself, and
the five thousand Frenchmen that made
the attempt to gain a second Algerine
foothold, is but an atom of the number
that will soon join them; while others will
be in possession of the Sandwich Is
lands. Yours, vesy respectfully,
