TRIRuTE TO AMERICA.

We commend 10 our readers lie Striking article
from The Gazette de France. IL is nom the pen
Of member of the Chamber Of Deputies Of
France, aud, though marked by few errors,
pays an eoquen, and honorable compliment 10
the American character, and 10 The genius ard
expansive energies oil our Tree institutions. The
National In!ellsencer and other Wing prints con-
tend ha, our county, in consequence oil The Mex
lean war, i, ias losing the respect 0! the civilized
world. Strange, that such Insulting opinioas
should be advanced, when every steamer brings
us unequivocal evidence that our "mode' Repub-
lie" occupies the attention Of Europe; and when
we have before our eyes The iaci, that Deputy
of France boldly comes fTward to sci forth our
claims 10 The esteem and admiration Of lie world.
Il is singular enough, tina, this defence Of iscrub'
ican institutions should appear in The Lcciiim'@
or-anof F'rancc-bu, he Il. York Herald states
lha, i, was first offered 10 all The other papers in
Paris and lis insertion refused. However this
may be, The appearance Of such an article, from
SO high source, is a marked indication CT the
prestige of our grand experiment Of free govern
meni.
The author of The address it will be secn is
from The department Of JuIa. Here loo, iIseems,
sprung into existence the author Of the "MaE-
settles Hymn" most thrilling Of national airs.
The poe, Lamaline, in his history Of The Giron.
dns, gives The origin of this magnificent air and
words. He seems 10 catch The inspiration Of the
theme, and his description is full Of passion and
effect. We feel that our readers will excuse US
for transcribing the very interesting sketch; but,
tesorc doing 50, We would state that the people OF
Macon, in France, have offered ccmpiimsn'a
ry dinner 10 LamaIlne, 10 be attended b. 4.0i0

States, Herrera. Of three States and Ocampa Of one
State. Santa Ana was not candidste. Jalsco had

Of the pres.
Several the Ministers had resigned. Baranda
was Secretary Of State and Alc,sta Of war.
TheProceedings against Arista had been quashed.
Gen. Unea's excesses towards his own country
men had been complained of.
The Mexicans report that Gen. Worth entered
Puebla with 1880 men, and 10 pieces Of artillery
The Republican newspaper denounses all idea Of
peace. asa
On the 2lst Of May the new Constitution found
ed on that Of 1924, was adopted, and Santa Ana
and the Congress swore to defend it,
A revolution had broken out in Oaiaca.

We see James X Polk, says the Albany Journal
the man who voted against giving few cords Of
wood to the shivering poor Of Washington; who
sent Santa Ana home to Mexico; who, while con.
suming untold millions in an inglorious war, op-
posed the noble and ennobling effort to send ma
tonal contribution to the starving Sons and Daugh-
ters Of Ireland. And seeing nothing in these acts to
entisle him to attention respect he may come, OF
stay, or so where he pleases.
