declares that while the French are, in
their manners, more defferential to wo-

less real esteem for them than any other

Let me illustrate this: The Turk
shows that he values his wife by locking
her up; it is, to be sure a mistaken mode;
but he shows that he estimates the val

The HILLsBoao' MEETING. The Advo
cate ofthe 3lst May, contains the proceed
ings Of a meeting Of citizens of Montgom
cry county, opposed to the U. S. Bank
The meeting is said to have been "arge
and respectable " Of its rcspectability
no body entertains any doubt; bu. that il
was large. is not so certain. On the con.
trary, we are assured on good authority
that the meeting was extremely small, and
altogether one-sided affair, in SO much
that Its proceedings form no index to the
sentiments Of the people of the county on
the suffice. of the bank. Not above SO
persons attended, and If these, 90 or more
were opposed to the object of the meeting,
and at the same time excluded, by reso-
luton expressly prohibiting general dis.
cussio1, from any participation in its acts.
The members of the meeting also re-
soipe, SHAT their object is of m ire patri-
otto and elevated character than to aid in
eleciing any candidate for any office what
ever" This. to say the least, be.rays an
unnecessary degree Of solicitude lest the
object of the meeting should no, be cor
rectly understood, and in the absence of
other information would lead one to sus-
Pect some intrigue at the bottom. He that
has stole nothing, needs not to say, he is
no thief. Such suspicion in this case.
would come very near the truth. The
meeting, a. we are informed, was called
solely for electioneering purposes-and to
aid the Pretensions of party candidate.
That candidate makes opposition to the
bank "hobby," and the objec, Of the
meeting seems to have been, to form a raj
lying point for his forces.
