throne to the contamination of an alliance be-

he effected with consummate skill, has been
marked in a peculiar degree, with prudence,
foresight and caution. Tn, Sc three great essen.
tials in the formation of character he possesses in
abundance, and make him one of the farthest-
seeing monarchs in the world--a modern Joseph.
No mortal man that was not possessed of these
faculties, could have remained so long on the
French throne; and we question if any msnpiving,
but himself, from such precarious tenure as he
has bad of that throne, could, in the:face of such
difficulties as ne has successfully contended with
and overcome, have not only sustained his posi-.
ton, but fortified it so as to make il imprep.
nable. His sagacity and foresight have
been developed in many instances that are now
marked on the pages of history, and on a recent
occasion he has shown that in his old age, he pos.
sesses those traits which marked his character
whom he was an exile in the United States, and
since, as fully now as he did at any time
II appears that for years past he has been silent
ly amassing stores OF grain and provisions,
for the use of his subjects, in anticipation of
dearth occurring at some future time. He
knows well the mercurial and revolutionary spirit
of the French people, which on all occasions, and
on the slightest pretext, is ready to burst out in
conAsgration that would consume thrones
and empires in its destructive course
Such pretext would be afforded by a
rise in the necessares of life in time of famine;
and as the climate OF Europe is precarious that
a season OF short crops and scarcity was at least

to provide for such an emergency in time of
plenty, and by throwing open the doors of his
huge granaries, in time of scarcity, prevent rise
of food that would create discomfort and perhaps
revolution among his subjects The result shows
the wisdom of his policy, and the judgment and
forethought OF his calculations. While ON the
other side of the Channel the people are starving
and on the eve Of rebellion, the French are com.
paratively well supplied or at least are not haunt

and Irish. The emergency that he provided for
occurs, and he lets loose upon the markets the
stores ne has been gathering by which the staff

NEGRO SurrRAeE.-For many years past, the
State OF New York, as well as other States in
the Union, has been agitated and distracted by a
clique Of fanatics and pseudo philanthropists,
who called themselves, par excellence, the negro's
friends and the advocates of his rights After
spending years in propagating their principles,
and rocking the very foundations of the confede.
racy, the question of allowing the negro to parti-
cipat- in our elections and enjoy the right of suf
frage was submitted to citizens, fairly and inn
partially, at the last election, in order that fair
and unbiased expression Of opinion might be OBJ
tanned, and the sense of the people OF the State
OF New York ascertained on this exciting topic
The result of the election, so far as the vote on
this particular subject is ascerained, is as might
have been expectedMa decisive negative by an
overwhelming vote. Indeed, we may assert that
so large majority was never seen in the State
OF New York, as will be shown in the decision of
this question.
The question then occurs, what will be the
future policy of the abolitionists and fanatics in
this State Will they, in spite of the expressed
will Of a tremendous majority of their fellow
citizens, insult that majority by farther aga,ng
the question Will they not, as good citizens,
accede to the will of the majority, and give over

IMPORTANT MAIL AkRANGEMENTs.-In order to
prevent the possibility Of any future accident in
the transmission of the mails from this city to Eu-
rope, via Boston, George B Fisk, Esq, the presl-
dent Of the Long Island Railroad Company, has
made arrangements by which a locomotive in
Brooklyn, and steaHboa at Greenport, will be
held in readiness to start at q moments notice.

Much credit is due Mr. Fisk for this evidence

ment by all the means in his power Our mer.
chants will now recover the confidence they have
perhaps lost in mail communication, when they
feel that private enterprise, and not official care

We learn also, that during the coming winter
the great Northern mail will be carried over the
Housatonic Railroad, instead of the old coach
