COUNTRY NEWSPAPERS.

The Editor of the Philadelphia Home
Journal, few weeks beforeth Presiden-
tial Election, discoursed in this wise =:
We wish in our heart that the election
was over, for then it will be delight
again to open, read, and CLEAN instruction
from the country newspapers. But now
they are so filled with politics, abuse,
elimination and recriminaiion, hurrah-for-
Polk-and-hurrah-for-Clay kind of INTEL
gence, that we look in vain for a grain OF
wheat among such superabundance of
chat. But when we do find it, it is al
ways soTipe, and full, and good, that it
is worth the looking after. The sickly,
yellow, mildwed looking stuff which the
generality of our city granaries contain, is
always unmarketable, "nat, stale and un-
profitable" We would rather have the
good, frank, honest opinion of one sterling
country newspaper, than to have the whole
kennel of cringing, fattering, deceitful
and hypocritical sheets with which the
city is overrun, at our feet. What they
say to your face, they'll deny at your back
they never mean what they say, and
they never say what they mean. But
when we want honesty, candor and indie
pendence, we always look to the country
newspapers.

PANIC"

The Register charges the Wings with hay
ing attempted TO eetup panic because they
failed 10 elect Mr. CIay,as ifit was in human
nature for men OF any party 10 sacrifice their
business and pecuniary interests generally
for the pleasure of getting up panic The
charge is as absurd and contrary TO the truth
as most Of the charges made against the
Wings before the eleciiol, What have the
Wings to gain by any such panic, especially
at time SO remote from the next Preslden-
tial election! There is no motive for excit-
ing false alarm ia reference to business mat
ters; and self interest Dictates that there
should be no such alarm. There is, never
ihe.ess, serious apprehensions in reference 10
the future IN The minds OF thousands Of capi-
talisis and and business neu.
But saws the Register in answer TO this fact,
there has been an extensive purchase of prop
erty in manufacturing town in this County,
therefore the Editor would infer that no con-
templated purchases have been abandoned
no capital Withdrawn from business-no sus-
pension Of trade; hut such an Inference would
be false one-for the election Of James h.
Polk and the apprehended fate Of the tariff.

The panic as the Register calls it, will in
crease or abate. Just iupropor;ion TO the prob
ability of the repeal or continuance Of the

MrPoEK SINCE HIS ELECTION.

The Nashville Union contains a notice Of
the reception of alr Polk at Nashville, since
bis election. In the course of his eongrsiuia-
tory reply TO an address delivered by Blr Mich
olson, he made The remarks which follow.
Mr.. Polk promised fairly. but his practice, we
fear if consistent with his past course will
scarcely justify the hopes here encouraged.
Those who promise mast, usually pretOrnI

that he viii seek the good of the W hole poo
pie, aud thus Guild up for himself name and
fame to he cherished by the patriot. Our
expectations are very moderate, we must con-
fcss.
In exchanging mutual congratulations with
each other upon the results of the late cleo
ton, the Democratic party should rene mber,
in calmly reviewing the contest, thai the por-
ton of our fellow-citizcns who have differed
with us in opinion have equal political rights
with ourselves; that L.ijnOrities as well as ma
jorities are entitled 10 the full and free exer-
else of their opinions and judgments, ard that
the rights Of all, whether Of miBorities or ma
jori;ies, as such, are entitled to equal respect
and regard.
In rejoicing, theref0re, over the success Of
the Democratic party. and of their Trir cirlcs,
in the late election, it should he in no Spirit

THE FRENCH FRESS AND OUR
LATE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

In looking over the French paper,
(says the United States Gazette) we are
struck with the interests which is man.
Tested in the result of TIE late Presiden-
tial election, and reason assigned for the
qualification or regret at the result.
The journal Ges Debates says: ''The
result viii be to place in the ascendency
radical party-that is to say, party
whose very essence is opposed to the
establishment Of order and the strength
ening ofsociety shaken to its foundations
We necessarily deplore this conclusion,
not only in reference to the Confeder-
alton of North America, but also with re-
gard to civilization at large, which is in
terested in the restoration of nation so
adVantageously situated, to the good old
way"
The Press, another Paris paper. in
speaking ofthe election, after saying that
it felt no interest in the success or defeat
of party in the United States, excepting
so far as the result touched the interests
of France. says;
Liberals, Absolutists, Wings, Radi-
Gals, are denominatins on which we lay a
secondary value. Which are these whose
tendencies would be useful to US?
Which are these whose tendencies would
be injurious to US! That is the question
which concerns us the most seriously.
As this point yields the only one which
would be rational in treating Of the az
fairs Of other nations, we say that the de-
feat of Mr Clay-of NJ Clay, the Wing

has, nevertheless, labored necessarily 20

interests in France suffer deeply

IT'S midnighi's holy hour, and silence now

The bells deep tones are swellng-'tis the kneil

Is sweeping past-yet, on the stream and wood,
With melancholy light. the noonbeams rest

And left no shadow of their loveliness
