TIE MOTHER NAPOLEON.

At halr-past twelve took my leave of Mr. La
tour-Manburgh, our ambassador OF Rome, TO visit
the Palace Rinnecini The ambassador laughing
ly said to me
81 do not wish to know where you are going
am supposed to be ignorant of it.
81 am going to see woman answered.
"who will in no wise compromise mel
"I.ook at her little for me-"
Some minutes aGerward was on the Palace of
Venice, which was deserted and scorched by the
sun. The Palace of Venice, thus illumed, loses
the gloomy appearance Of prison, which the
architect has given it. | then continued my way
to the Palace of Rinnecini, which on entering APP
pearet to me the temple of silence and of sleep.
A multitude Of little elves proceeded from the
door, which was carefully shut behind me,-Thc
vestibule was as the interior ola pyramid, notwh-
standing the intolerabc heat of the day. was
conducted through number of apartments by a
servant who respectfully opened the glded door of
a saloon, and announced me to Madame Letla.
seated myself at the invitation of young lady
who was the companion Of the august invalid and
waited to be addressed before yenlured to speak.
Our conversation began by exchanging the usual
remarks on Itaty, Rome and Travelling. was sin
gularily struck with the lirmncss of Madame Lett
ta's voice. beheld her SO weak so emaciated
SO ILL.,, so worn with care, sickness, and old age,
that every word she uttered feared would be her
last; and tina, the galvanc power of her voice was
like lamp which burns brighter just before it ex-
pres When | entered, the invalid was reclining
on a small narrow couch, which she had not left
since her fatal fall at the Villa Berghese, four
years previous to that period! With the assistance
of her companion she half raised herself, and re-
mained in that position during my visit Her eyes,
opened and fixed appeared to wander about the
saloon, as if in search of something. did not
then pity her for being blind, for wha, she would
have seen could not have consoed her. Most all the
pictures and the statues of Gros, of lsabey, Of Gi
rodet, of David, Of Bosio, of Canova, which peo-
pied this solitude, only brought to mind unheard Of
catasirophes, violent deaths, and triumphant VIC
tories, changed into thorns. I, who behed thi:
brilliant exhibition of the renowned acts Of the
hero, this domestic pantheon, in frames or on ped.
estals surrounding blind, eAiled dying mother
could scarcely restrain my tears, and was obliged
to sum up all my resolution, for fear of betrayins
by the ,remulous accents of my voice, the cause o
my emotion, and thus render visible to the bllnt
mother those pictures where her sons and grand
sons smiled upon her in their imperial joys ant
during those prosperous days which are now for
reve gone.
Two incidents appear worthy of being recorded
of my first interview with the mother of Napo

A SERIOUS APPEAL.

We do most earnestly bespeak the attentive Pc
rusa of the following briefariclc from the Globe.
1t is the conc luding part of an address, in which
the devices, Frauds and miquious schemes, of
the Opposition, for the overthrow of the Govern
ment, aie set forth in their true coors. But be-
lieveng that arguments are not necessary to con-
vince our enlightened community at this late hour,
Of the existence of such unholy combinations among
the motley group of wings, composed of Bank men,
and men protesting to be opposed to the bank, old
rEDERALIsTs and aposiaie republicans, slave
holders and rank aboitionsts, strict constructions
lists and latitudinarians, we present this serious
sensible, earnest, and thrilling appeal 10 all gooa
men of patriotic sentiments, and hope they will
govern their votes accordingly. 1t will apply to
any meridian:-
1--WE appeal to them to say, whether all these
facts aud strange Developments do not demonstrate
tina, the party now calling themselves wings, and
having General Harrison for their standard bearer
according to Mr. Webster, is not now in the full
tide of consummating one of the deepest, and mos
deadly conspiraces ever devised against the liber-
ties of free peope-a conspiracy whose mean.
are fraud, corruption, and perjury, to cheat sxteer
millions Of people the fair exercise Of the right oil
suffrage, plunge the country into civil war tC
preserve il TO themselves and their posterity' W,
leave it to then-to the free, unbought citizens o.
the United States-to decide the point for them
selves, and act accordingly.
In conclusion,we would calmly address ourselve:

GEN. UARRISON'S OPINION OF TIE
FEDERAL PARTY.

"Thc original FedcraI party Of this country
cas actuotei By no improper motire."
HIS OPINION or TIE WAR rEDERALlsTs.
L" Tie Fc!eral party took ground against the
Var, and, as a party, THERE NEVER EXISTED
pURER BAND OF PATRIOTS; for ~hea The
note of STRIFE ,cas sounded, they raIiiei under the
banner of their country" -HarriSOa' late Speech
at Dayton, Ohio.
There is not an old Fcderalist now in the Union
and there never was one, who could make sron-
ger declaration in favor of the federal party, than
the above.
1t is an attemp, at justification of their conduct,
from the earliest stage of parties, through the stock
obbing speculation Of llanon's 'Juniiag sys-
iem;-
Their broad pcrycrsion of the Constitution,
claiming the right TO do any thing, under the gen
cral welfare clause, that Congress might judge en-
pedient;-
The consequen, passage of the alien and sedltlon
laws, making it punishable with fines and impris-
onment TO censure the President, the Heads of
Departments, or either House of Congress-
Their general and systematic opposition 10 their
own country, and their defence Of the British gov
eminent in all its restrictions upon our commerce,
and the impressment of our seamen;-
Their declaration that Britain has done as no
essential iyury;'-
Their opposition to every pacific mode of retail
ation, such as the embargo and non intercourse;-
Their denunciaucn of all these measures, as
ror in disguise;''-
Their approval of the conduct Of the British gov
eminent, in disavowng the pacific and satisfactory
arrangement Of all these difficulties between our
government and the British minister at Washing
on (NIr Erskine,) Notwithstanding they had prais-
ed and laudcd that arrangement as an act q mag
nanimiiv in the british government, and tainted
our government with the assertion, that Britain had
ever been ready TO do us jns,ice,-tha' the same
terms might always have been obtained; but that
our government were not disposed to any amlcable
adjusment;-

encouraged them in every species oil deness; pam
pered their vitiaed appetites with succession oil
maddenlng stlmulants, and untitled them Tor every
honest purpose of life what will they do with them
when they have answered their ends VIII they
continue Them on full pay and ratons till their SER
vices are again required, or will they cast them
adrlit to prey on society!
We put the question: What do they intend to do
with them? And we call the attention of all honest
citizens, all who possess property, all who value
the sancy of their firesides, all who desire to re-
pose quietly at night, to the consequences which
must inevitably result from disbanding thousands
of debachees and rutlians, whose idle habits have
been fostercd, and whose passions pampered, by
months of log cabin debaueheres; who have been
made familiar with perjury and irauds-and letting
them loose upon the word What are we to ex-
pect when they have answered their purpose, and
are cut adrift, but midnight brawls and violence;
house breaking and theiyng; murder and manning;
insecurity ofproperty and jeopardy otllie and limb,
| We ask ofthe Quakers-the uniform friends and
examples of morals, decorom and sobricty-f they
can in conscience lend themselves TO party which
depends on such men and such means for success?
We ask of the Temperance societies, the friends OF
temperance, and of all temperate men whether they
will suffer themselves to be swayed by party fee
lings, into uniting with those whO hare done in all
their power TO counterfeit their benevolent purposes,
and add tens of thousands to the list Of drunkardS:
Finally, we ask of all Conscientious and patriotic
citizens, whether such party, depending on such
practices and such Instruments should ever be per-
mit,cd to triumph over the efforts of virtuOus
| peope,

OUR ANSWER.
gician.

Fear no, by heaven, its not for us
We stand as firm Ms mountain rock,
Or oaks that crowd the WILDERNESS,
We fear not cen the earthquake shock.
Call back the word ye coward slaves,
For by our fathers sacred graves,
And by the fields whereon they fought,
Like them we'd die while fearing nought,
Our cause is democratic truth,
Pure ms the virgin stripes that wavo
Der freedoms everlasting youth;
And spotless ms the soldiers grave.
Then let our only motto be,
Our Country, Cause, and Liberty!
Our nation, and our nations laws
The rights of lrcedom-irecdom's cause
II zone dark drop of coward gore
BE known to circle through our veins,
Let it come forth from every pore,
Or bind the traitor fast in chains;
For who would stoop to scryilc bands!
Or who would touch towards hands !
We ask no iayOrs meanly bought
We're free in spirit free in thought
Wen fear not while the eagles flight
Is upward, to the throne of heaven;
Our cause is good, our cause is right,
And victory to the just is given.
Then by tho temple of our fame,
Yes, by our country and its name,
BY earth, by sea, by star and sun,
Wen fight until the y!ctOrys won.
