FRANCE A REPUBLIC Still.

N'hNNI1 ~ REl I Dill = LII.
From the subjoined letter of Louis Ma
poleon, the revolutionary nominee for En-
Peror, 1t appears that, instead of being re-
volutionist and an aspirant to the imperial
dignity, he is, himself republican, and
disposed 10 use all his influence for the per
petulty of the present form of government
LONDON, June IL.
Fellow Citizens-l our suifrages fill
me with gratitude. This mark of Svmpa.
thy is the more hattering to me, as il was
unsolicited on my part, and reached me at 4
moment when | regretted being inactive,
when the country had need of all he chill
dren to eXtrlcate her from the difficulties in
which she was placed.
Your confidence imposes on me duties
which | shall know how to fulfil; our in
terests and our sentiments are the same
A child of Paris, now a representative of
the people, shall unite my efforts TO those
of my colleagues to re-cstablsh order, cred
it, and labor; to secure peace abroad, to
consolidate democratic Institutions, and to
reconcile interests which now appear hos
tile, becsuse parties are struggling against
each other, instead of working to one COM
mon end-the grandeur and prosperity of
the country.
"The people have been free since Feb
ruary gath. They can obtain all they
want without having brute force. Let us
then, all rally round the altar of our country,
under the flag orthe republic, and give to
the world the grand spectacle of people
who regenerated themselves without vio-
lence, civil war, or anarchy. Receive, fell
low citizens, the assurance of my devoted
ness and sympathy
LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE.
THE ACCEPTANCE OF Mr.. VAN Buren,
There is no doubt now, that Mr. Van Blu
rem will not decline the nomination confer
red upon him, at Utica. The editor ofthc
Albany Atlas, after a visit to him, at Kin
derhook, speaks thus:-
"The Utica Convention nominated Mr..
Van Buren, rs a candidate for the Presiden-
cy, contrary to his known wishes, upon the
principle, that the people whom they rep
had a right to make this use of his name;
and did not direct the notice Of their pro-
ceedings to be given to him. No commu-
nication on the subject is, therefore, to be
expected from him. But we are most hap
by to be able to say, upon the best author
ity, that however unexpected and undesira-
BILE to himself, the position him by the ac-
tons of his friends, Mr.. Van Buren, will
not, under the circumstances in which they
have deem placed, contest the principle with
them, nor interposc any other obstacle to
they have adopted
Mr.. Van Buren, now stands before the
country as the representative of Free La
bour and no Slavery in the territories of the
L. S. which are now free from slavery
lie never stood in so noble a position. If
this principle which he represents, trumphs,
it will bestow a rich heritage upon the I'M
born descendants of millions Of the poor la
borers Of America and Europe. Never
since the world was formed, has a genera
ton of men left TO their posterity such a le-
gacy rs this will be. Oh, let the stout
hearted gather from the fields, the work
shops and the haunts of business, and CON
tend to the last, for this priceless treasure.
