BY LAST NIGHTS MAIL.
French Revolution.

We received by last nights mail, but
at too late an hour for publication entire.
a mass of interesting news relative to the
progress Of the French Revolution. We
will briefly give few Of the most inter-
esting items.
The combatants and people had assem-
bled in front Of the Office Of the National,
the organ Of the opposition, singing the
Marsaellaise hymn, and demanded of its
editors to "see that their liberties were
not again played with"
Bodies of armed men continually parad-
ed the streets, night and day numerous
murders were committed, and all the trees
on the Boulevard nave been felled, togeth-
er with the supnrb lamp posts, and con-
verified in bancades. f qa93 Z. .s7
& The Duchess Of Orleans, accompanied
by her two sons, had visited the Chamber
Of Deputies, where amid armed men and
clamorous populace, it was declared by
the presiding officer that the, king had alb

ing xitha revolutionary spirit. Portugal

ing Witha revolutionary spirit. Portugal
is lagitsted with sseditions and insurrec-
tions, Spain IS full Of malcontents, and is
ruled BY young fragile queen, whose
premature death, by raising the question
Of the succession Of the Orleans dynasty
to the throne, would inevitably involve all
the European powers in a long and bloody
war. France depends for her tranquility
upon the life Of King who has already
well nigh attained the limit Of human years.
Italy is rocked with commotion; Switzer-
land is rent with dissensions and Ireland
is in state Of lawlessness bordering on
anarchy. Well, indeed, did the King of
Wurtemburg exclaim in his address, the
other day, to the National Chambers, ss7Ae
times are difficult and urgent It remains
to be seen whether sovereigns will act the
part Of wise men, and BY exercising a
spirit Of liberality, moderation and COM
promise, avert calamities which threaten
not only the stability their own thrones,
but the safety Of all social institutions.
The new King Of Denmark has set mo-
bic example by voluntarily presenting his
people with charter. nobly adapted TO
their wants and condition. The King of
the Two Sicilies, although perhaps it has
been extorted from him by force has done
well in according his subjects constitu-
ton establishing the liberty Of the press,
ministerial responsibility, national guard,
and system Of popular representation
These are the concessions which the times
demand. r..
The students Of the Polytechnic School,
to the number of three thousand or more
marched, day or two since, in process
sion through the streets towards the Cham
Der of Deputies, bearing petition for the
removal Of the interdict suppressiDg the
lectures Of Quinet and Michelet, which
you remember created such an excitement
in Paris a few months since. Before
reaching their destination, their progress
was intercepted by body Of cavalry and
infantry. A deputy appearing, took charge
Of their memorial. The students, after
making their rounds to certain favorite
printing Offices and huzzaing for the knights
of the quill, peacefully returned to the
University. 1t was a harmless demon
stration, but perhaps significant withal.

IOWA CAPITAL REPORTER

THE subscribers, having purchased the above nam
ed establishment and put it in an entire new dress,
will in future conduct it Jointly, Editors and Pro-
priet.rs, under the firm of PALMER PAUL.
The REPORTER viii, as heretofore, be mainly de-
voted to the PRONUNCIATION Of sound Democratic doc
trincs and the advocacy of corresponding measures
of State and National policy. These measures
though legitimatsly resultingfrom ncver-changing,
immutable principles-we believe should still be, as
they ever have been, PROGRESSIVE in their charac
ter; having for their ultimate object the equalization
both of the benefits and burthens Of government
We can conceive no means more likely to hasten
through vigorous support of the enlightened, just
and liberal, Free Trade, Hard-money and other lead
ing measures of policy advocated BY the great DEM
ocratic party. AS long our party shall adhere to
and enforce these, and principles and measures SIM
liar in their character and tendency, SO long do we
expect to stand by it, and no longer. Furthermore,
we consider ourselves pledged to the support OF in
dividua members Of our party--brouSht out in con-
formty to its established customs, for stations OF
honor or proft-only long they truly reflect its
principles and show disposition to carry out its
measures anu CONFORM 10 NS eStauHSiicu uSuScS.
The vital Importance TO our party, especially at the
present crisis, of straightforward, fearless and
efficient champion of its cause and exponent of its
principles at the seat Of state government, must,
are persuaded, be too well understood and appreci
ated to require any thing more than bare alusion
TO it on this occasion. We are now he eve of a
State and Presidential election, in both of which
the Democracy Of Iowa will, besides deciding upon
various other subjects of vast importance to
people, be called upon to stand by and support the
govern ment in the measures which it has so vigOr-
ously adopted and successfully carried into exccu-
ton for sustaining the honor of the country against
its enemies abroad, aided and comforted by ingori-
ous lily disguised and raitrous partizans at home.
We believe that we shall not be disappointed in
our expectations that the warm hearted Democracy
Of Iowa will evince their appreciation of the consid-
crations here presented, by their efficient aid and
support. ..
While the above will be the leading objects for
which we shall labor, the REPORTER will devote it
SELF with what Of energy its conductors bring to
the task, to the advocacy of such measures Of i'm
provement in young and fourishing Iowa, as, in
their opinion shall promise to be most conducive to
the happiness and prosperity of her citizens at large
News and Observation-Disclosures and Foreign

The Democratic United States.

We are Of those who believe that the
United States are permanently democratic.
For the last twenty years in every fair
test election the voice Of the people in the
Union has been in favor of democratic
men and measures. The political events
Of the last few years have but served to
confirm them in their partially to demo-
cracy. The policy of Jackson, Van Blu
ren, and Polk, relative to the great ques-
tons of dispute is fast becoming the per-
manent and settled policy otthe American
Republic, and it needs no more than or
binary powers Of discernment to under
stand that such are emphatically the indi-
cations of the times. The day is soon to
arrive when the leading measures OF the
wing party IN the estimation of the Amer
lean people will find place in the same
cdious catalogue with the Alien and Sc
dition law Of the elder Adams and be dis
carded and condemned by the whole A.
merican nation. Already National Bank
is pronounced an ''obsolete idea" and the
man who dare risk his political existence
on that measure is no less than utterly
reckless Of future reputation for mad
man, and the doctrine of high tariff is fast
losing grounds among its old friends and
finding its way to oblivion all over the
world. The democratic star is in the as
cendant! How stands the voice of the u
Mon to-day? Out of the twenty mine
states the democrats haze frenty Governors
to the wings nine! and this does net in
clude Wisconcin, another democratic state
soon to become a member of the coniede-
ration. Does not this show conclusivcly
that majority of the American people are
democratic? We give the list below
those states having democratic governors
in one column-those having wing gov

THE success of the Illustrated Botany is no

think tho prospect Of the second year of this
