conditions proposed, and gave the bargainer
10 francs, promising to come and claim his

WHIG ESTIMATION OF THE CHAR.

"Men may change,but principles never"
Is an old and true maxim. There may be
error in opinion, and, undoubtedly, much
error does exist in the minds Of men, whs,
at the same time, are honestly and firmly
impressed with the belief that they are right
but men convinced of their error, gladly ac-
knowledge it, and adept the only course
that BELTS an honest man. 1t is different
with princiPles--lhey are eternal, I,and fixed,
and no changes of men, nor times, nor cir.
cumstances, can ever reverse their position,

PROSPECTS OF FEDERALISM.

~ VI ALDEACALIOIno
The following very excellent article is
copied from the Pennsylvania of May 4th.
1t is fair picture of the prospects of Fed
eraIsm, and as such we ask for it an atten-
tive perusal.
"Ihere are irremediable defects about the
opposition party in this country, (which must
ever prevent their general success, Partial
and accidental triumphs will Of course be
theirs from time to time, luing them into
great deieats;but they have no ground even
TO hope, while we remain united, for that
occurrence Of victories necessary 10 give
them the command OF the national govern
ment. They lack common principle Of
action-they cannot commit themselves up
on asystem of policy and avow it before
thspeoPle; for being made up the odds and
ends of factions; being the body of old fed
eralsm patched up with all sorts of incon-
gruous materials--the moment distinct
position is taken, that instant this political
"emnium gatherum'' falls to pieces. Thus
we find Harrison in charge ofa committee,
who will not permit him TO answer any
questions as TO his views upon national
concerns, and we see that throughout the
Union the Harrison presses cannet be pre-
vailed upon to furnish glimpse OF their in
tentlons in cases Of the success which they
delusively promise TO themselves. The most
guarded silence is preserved upon all essen
tlal topics, while the efforts is general to
gull the people and draw their attention
from the main point by filling the air with
childish and unmeaning clamor.
"But this bar to success, great as it is,
ices not by any means form the only one
which crosses the path of our Oppsnenls.-
They are the worst parlisans and the most
'ungling tacticians that ever took the field.
The democratic party, who rest their cause
lpon Its merits and trust 10 the force of
heir truth and principle for triumph, have
10 call 10 pursue the crooked ways Of the
and maneuverer. They move
traight forward; but federalism having al
character to assume and a part to play for
ign to its real nature, must avail itself Of
chemes, devices and tricks, yet SO awk-
vardly is this done that like an unskilful
'ugilist, it ovelreaches and prostrates itself.
This grand enthusiasm movement, for in
tance-this extensive humbug, which eau
es so many to make themselves ridiculous
Or the amusement of the nation-was per-
APPS good enough in its way; but they who
ut in motion have shown an ignorance of
uman nature which is really surprising
-ssuming for moment--we should be sor.

rat the American people are to be swept

REMARKABLE CONDUCT.

The following extraordinary act was per-
formed by child in Lyons not long ago,
according to continental paper:
An unfortunate artisan, the father of fam.
lily, was deprived of work by the depressed
state Of his trade during whole winter
1t was with great difficulty that he could
get morsel Of food now and then for his
famished wife and children. Things grew
worse aud worse with him, and at length,
on attempting to rise one morning for the
purpose Of going out as usual, in quest of
employment, he fell back in a fainting con.
di,ioa beside his wife, who had already
been confined to her bed bv illness for two
menths. The poor man felt himself i'll,
and his strenth utterly gone. He had two
boys, yet in childhood, and one girlpbour
twelve or thirteeL years old. Fora long
time the whsle charge of the household had
Y fallen on this girl. She had tended the sick
bed Of mother, and had watched over her
kttle brothers with more than parental care.
Now, when the father 100 was taken i'll,
4 there seemed 10 be not vestge Of hope
for the whole family, excepting in the ex-
ertions which mightbe made by her, young
h as she was.
a The first thought Of the poor little girl
was to seek for work proportioned to her
strength. But that the family might not
starve in the meantime, she resolved to 90
