DEMOCRACY.

Much has been said of late in the prints which
support MIR Crawford about their d" e.rclusire de-
Imocracy" and their steadfast adherence to " the
good old usaees of the party; = while the presses
which have embraced the cause Of Mr. Adams,
among which are included most of the old and re-
spectacle republican journals in New England, as
well as in many of the other States have been VIC
lenty denounced and prescribed as seceders from
the republican family. 1t SO happens, too, that none
have raised the hue and cry stoutly as those pa
pers which have been recently established for the
sole purpose Of aiding in Mr.. Crawford's election,
some of which conducted by men of no political
principle, or at least by men whose principles sit so
loosely upon them that they can with great facility,
as their past lives cvlnce, make them bend to any
shape which suits their purpose for the time being.
We could mention one OF these doughty champions
ot democracy, who no more than seven eight
years ago pronounced flaming Grafton in New
Hampshire, in which he abused the whole republi-

LETTER FROM IRELAND.

Extract Of letter from an american gentleman

June 10, 1924.
"This city presents the most extraordinary con.
trast of poverty and magni6cence to be met with in
Europe. AS you approach it, you find the suburbs
composed OF novels, the sides of which are partly
stone and partly earth the roofs of turf the entran.

dimensions of each not exceeding II to IA feet
square. These miserable caves may or may not
have hole for a window, and an aperture on the
top to let out the smoke if the luxury of fire can be
afforded. Around the door the dirty children are
huddled not one half are decenty clad some Of
them still evince notions of civilization by Sinking
into the house, or turning their bare parts against

and OF all sorts OF fabrics, will not furnish one piece

TO A FRIEND,

Who envied the .9utiors Perpetual OsO ofhgh spirits
Oh do not suppose that my hours
Are always unclouded and gay;
Or that thofns never mix with the flowers
That fortune has strew'd in my way:
When seen by The cotd and unfeeLing
We smile through the sorrows we feel,
But smiles are notwithstanding
The wounds which they never can heal.
The world is changeable ocean,
And sunbeams and shadows abound
Where the surface seems least in commotion
The rocks OF misfortune are found:
And man is the pilot, who steering,
OF every billow, the sport;
Sees the gale of prosperity veering,
Which promised to walt him to port.
Our hopes are the gales that serenely
Wait onward our sails as we float;
Our fears are the whirlwinds that keenly,
O'erwhelm our poor perishing boat:
And reasons the beacon thar guides as,
1t lights through lies perilous way,
And tolty'S the ray that deceiyes US,
And leads us too often astray.
Our moments Of mirth may be many,
And hope halt our sorrow beguiles,
But, believe me, there cannot be any
Whose features are Arrays in smiles.
The heart may be sad and repinng,
Though cheerfulness brightens the scene,
AS goblet with gems may be shining,
Though bitter the potion within.
A glttering volume may cover
A story Of sorrow and wo,
And nights gayest meteors may hover,
Where dangers lie lurking below;
Thus oft in the sunshine of gladness,
The cheek and the eye may be drest
While the clouds OF detection and sadness,
In secret o'ershadow the breast.

We have had two instances about 10 DAYS since
OF large body of earth sliding from the Banks in.
to the river. In instance about an acre of wood
land, trees and all, slid into the water, carving
with large quantity Of mud to the opposite side
and blocking up the whole passage of the stream.
There are large trees standing in the middle Of
the river A similar instance has not happened here
Tor thirty years. The next day the fresh water
made passage through, that boats and RATS can
now pass, though no doubt it will be years before
the whole body of earth that tumbled in will be
washed entirely away.

ANECDOTE OF FRANKLIN.

In Philadelphia, the merchants many years since

make distinction and to assume rank above the
mechanics they at first proposed this among the
rules ;or regulating the assembly {" That no me-

opinion, three great causes of the demoralizine of

From the journal de Paris, June 1o.

1t is said there has arisen some difficulties in the
Council Of State, in respect to the bulls OF the
Bishop of Montauban-they have considered this
Prelate as foreigner, because he has resided for
long time IN Amerca-it appears to US that Mr.
Cheverus was in the same situation with many
bishops & Priests whom the revolution drove out oil
France, and who have returned to it, some sooner
some later, without being required to be re natura
llzed in order to regain their rights as Frenchmen.
Mr. Cheyerus is not IN the same situation as the
Priests who left France during the revoluton,a is
not because he has resided long time in America
that the Council of State consider him foreigner
Mr., Cheverus naturalized himself in the u S.
The 18th article of the Civil Code says that the
quality OF trenchis lost by naturalization in foreign
country, and as none but Frenchman according to
the laws Of the Kingdom, can be Bishop in France,
the Council OF State has certainly done right in sus.
pending the enlightenment of the bulls of Mr..
Cheverus until he has taken the necessary steps to
recover that character.
