PRESIDENTIAL ELEcrIoX-A B"sy Day-Thc
day on which the next Presidential election will
take place, the 7th Of November, will be busy
one. Two millions OF voters over the country re-
cord their sutfragcs for national ruler, and as
the telegraph communications will extend by

rick, Md, on the 29ih inst. Con. Pillow LETT N.
Orleans on the evening of the 10th, Tor his resi-
dence in Columbia, Tennessee.
TIt is with the deepest qualification that we
refer to the triumphant success Of the liberal and
enlightened party of Lamartine, in the recent
French elections. 1t does high honor TO the
French people, and is fiattering sign OF the sta
bili;y of the new Republic, TO see the devotion
and confidence with whichthe masses rallyaround
Tie man FIR the CRISIS who upholds The flag OF law,
liberty and order. The factious anarchists seem
TO be put down. Let France continue TO pursue
the noble career which she has commenced, and
her safety will be established, and the light of
liberty and civilization will be reflected from her

the bottom of our heats we exclaim, Wire Ia Re-
