Marshal Berirand- This old soldier has sailed
for Frances. He carries with him The respecl,
admiration and good wishes, not only Of those
who honor The hero, the brave commander. the
successful warrior, but also the cordial good feel
ings uf every man that can appreciate friendship
and fidelity Of the first water, Whatever differ
ence Of opinion may exist regarding Napoleon,
there can be none about the lrulbiulness of Ber-
irand's attachment to him, From the camp Of
Bolongue 10 1904, he was with his Emperor and
Giend, 10 fortune and in exile, 10 battle aud in
palace, BY The Danube and the Rhine, sharing his
refinement al Elbs, his return to Pa.s his bloody
defea, a. Waterloo, and closing bis eyes on rocky
81 Helena There is truly 10 this devoiedness,
something Of tbe sublime, and great is IFS contrast
with the conduct Of the healiess crowd That de-
serlrd 50 readily in bis extremity, him whose
breath had made Them.

From, The Buffalo Commercial
Daniel O'Conncll Against Annexation.
O. II. SMITH, Chm.

Ii thore is Irishman in this city, in this coun-
try, or in tho whole Union, who has the least
respect for tho deliberate judgment, the noble hui
manty of the Irish Liberator, let him read tho
following sentiments of that great man on tho
"AnncXation of Texas" and then vote for that
foul schcmo-vote for Polk the Texas candidate
for President-if he can.
Tho excellent and high-minded gentleman
from America who had addressed them, (cheers. }
seemed from his anxiety. to entertain stronger
hopes than he {Mr. O'Conne.) did Of the an
nexation of Texas to the American Republic
The result would be if that Union took place that
three new slave States would be created. Ca voice
on the platform of "nine.") He would take the
nno it from better authority. There
would be nine good slave States. Hitherto tho
progress Of slavery has been by the Northern
States being free from it, but if nine moro slave
States were added, they would no longer have any
check control. The free States would be COM
pletely swampod, and these Statos woro to be
peoped by slaves, and by the process called in
America raising slaves, bringing them up like
cattle in stall, and IN total absence and ignor-
ance of all morality or religion.
He should not attempt to poIlute the of
the meeting by describing tho nature of tho sys-
tenn by which they were raised. Nine more States
were to be added; and were their feelings of hui
manity and kindness and pity, for the wretch
who was not his own property, bu, chattel in
the hands OF his master-were these feelings to
be lulled to silence, and was there to be no voice
throughout Europe raised in their behalf! He
did not want them 10 go to In all his read
ing. he did think he had ever read of any that
would have been justifable for christian man
TO engage in. He heartily wished the British
Government would take moro active part with
regard to the annexation of Texas. Let them
not deudc themselves, because the President had
actually signed the treaty for its annexation.
The question was. would it be ratified. How
knew they whether they would be able to hinder
the next giant stride which would be fatal TO the
cause of humanity. and render slavery in Amer
lea perpetual!
He hoped he should be pardoned for dwelling
upon the subject. for it came within the scope and
perview of the society. and he was only the fee
bic advocate of humanity, when he endeavored
TO arouse their hearts: to inspire their souls; TO
call upon them throughout the land to become
possles in the great work of enforcing the rights
of humanity and morality. the first duty they
were called upon to discharge and as
Christians.
He feared he had wearied them. NO, no.
Let them remember the great contest they were
engaged in: let them recoilect tina; their object
vas to make man his own property. to elevu:s
