We have what we believe to be the best
information, that our government is fully
aware of the disposition Of Louis Philippe
and his ministers to pay the money, and
we do not believe that the message will
contain any thing which will be construed
into new cause of offence by the French,

Beauties Of Rotalion IN Office. -An arci
dental meeting took place not long since
in one Of our streets. between thfee iadl
yldnsls, who joined in a hearty laugh, at
the a ssociation Of IDEAS forced upon them
by the occurrence. One Of them was the
holder Of an office yielding a very small
income, the other two were citizens in pri.
vate life. The last time they bad met TO-
gether was at Harrisburg. in the year
1922, when they were all Ia the service of
the State. One was Governor, one was
Secretary Of the Commonwealth. and one
was a Senator, Subsequent to that peri
cd they were all engaged in the service
Of the General Government. One was a
Senator in Congress, another a Cabinet
Minister, and the third was employed on
a Foreign Mission. The wheel had turn
ell round with them, aud landed them all
upon their backs, as it has done all who
have gone the same road before them. s.
as il will do all who go the same road al
ter them. As a picture Of human life, this
spectacle was not without IFS moral. The
stations once occupied by two of these in
dIRlduala gave them great patronage, and
whilst in possession Of il, they received
the same sort Of homage that waits upon
all men in power. We will now venture
10 assert, That either. of them could point
TO hundre DIS OF men who received offices
at their hands, and who would not now
contribute a dolla" for their relief, if they
were in want, such is the nature Of pDiili-
cal gratitude.

BREAKING GRoUED.-We have often been
amused at the many attempts made by the little
Magician and his followers, to ascertain the feel
Iugs and views of the people at large, upon any
and every subject Of importance, before they will
venture to commit themselves either for or
againstit, They generally commence operations
in some nook or corner, by throwing out a f%eelcr,
through the agency Of some obscure country
newspaper, which is Immediately echoed BY an
other to whom the watchwo ord has been given,
and so on, till it has been trumpetcd forth BY ey-
cry collar press in the country. If the measure
suggested takes well with the people, then do
we see the leaders coming out and advocating it,
with might and main, which had it been unpop-
ular, they would have denounced with equal We
hemence. The following (seler lately thrown
out by the Columbia Hive, a Union Jackson pa.
per in South Carolina, upon a subject Of vital inn
portance TO the American people, deserves to be
read with attention, and we place it in our columns
in order that our readers may be appraised Of
the real sentiments Of some Of those politicians
in our country, whose mouths are filed with so
many professions Oh love lOr tne people. VIC
ask every man who reads it TO make up his mind
on the subject to which it rclates-to determine
whether he is willing to yield up his liberty
to throw away the inheritance left him by his
forefathers, and bow in submission to Executive
d%ictation, by permitting the Chief Magistrate of
the nation designate his successor.
"THE NEXT PRESIDENT Much has been
said against the recommendation Of a successor,
By the present incumbent. We very candidly
confess our ignorance Of the improperly of such
a suggestion, from such a source. Pray who is
better qualified to judge Of the person best suited
TO fill that high and responsible station than he
who has discharged its duties with so much ho-
nor TO himself aud benefit TO the nation +! Who
is better qualified TO advise than he who com
mands the largest share Of confidence aud graft
tude Of mis- country ? Or is there indeed so much
truth in the trite libel that ingra!itude is the
characteristic Of repabiics, that If the Chief Ma
gistrate whose brow is graced with the civic and
military laurcls, actnated by motives Of patriot
ism, presume TO act the part Of counsellor 10 his
country, which has fonnd him equally her benc-
factor in the camp aud in the cabinet, his coun-
sci is received with ingratitude and scorn Sure
ly Gen. Jackson has as much right as any other
citizen, to be his country's counsellor, while adj
vice coming from one filling so distinguished a
station, has the weight Of high authority to rec.
ommend its acceptance"

From the annexed particulars in the
Concord IN. IL Statesman it would seem
that no lives were lost in the ARRAY on the
Northern frontier of,hat State, as report
ed by previous advices:
ave have further information from the
Indian Stream country. where, as it APP.
pears. the affaiis of the settlers are not in
a very quiet condition. Since our last
advices the British authorities have inva
ded the territory, and a citizen had been
carried off, in a successful attempt TO res.
cue whom, it appears, blood has been
split. although no hives lost as yet. We
can only express what we have before,
that if New Hampshire means to maintain
her jurisdiction there, there is necessity
for speedy and efficient action.

tizen was rescued, and the shots fred in

from the following, that the British Go

project of a proposed steamboat line from
Ireland to America
The government has appointed Capt.

the western coast. in order to select the

not.

want Of confidence in a successful prose
%cution, from the evidence. The cause was
submitted on the part OF the defendant al
so without argument; and the jury, with
out leaving the box, found a verdict OF,

Ga Friday the case Of the u. S. against
