CITY OF EVANSVILLE,
THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 20.

THE News From FRANcE,-We publish this
morning the details of the late outbreak in
France, which will be read with interests by
every American. Although we were prepared
TO hear that difficulties had occurred i'm the
adoption of a constitution, we are deeply
panied 10 learn the severe loss Of life, and
that too without cause so far as we can dis
cover. The whole difficulty:was occasioned
by misunderstanding among the people, or
FATHER Misrepresentation of a cegtain officials
words BY designing demagogues. What hand
The Bonapartist had in the affair, if any, does
not appear.
The Nor,h American publishes the news
and adds.
The news from France falls upon the ear
like the sound of death-bell, tolling the bu-
rial of a thousand fond hopes and proud
dreams Of the progress OF human freedom
"What piece of work is man!"-"Noble in
reason! infinite in faculties! in action, like an
angel!in apprehension, like god" And yet
.:eight or ten thousand men .'-freemen-breth-
Ten-FFenchmen-lie dead in the streets of
Paris, slain by each others hands, after a
four days battle, or massacre, about what
nothing. The republic secured-it was four
months old; the Constitution in the very course
of being adopted and solemnly proclaimed by
the National Assembly; liberty perfectly safe
''liberty, equality fra ternity!7-what was there
90 fight about-or even form Paris? In
America, we cannot understand these things
we can easily conceive that parties should be
formed in advocacy of the various socialistic
theories which have found such favor in France;
but we don't comprehend the necessity of quar-
relling about then-of substituting barricades
for arguments, and grape and conister for the
bloodless superiority of the ballot-box.
What do we know-and appreciate-and
seel-is, that democratic liberty, in America
has fourished, for three quarters of century
in peace-has nourished well-better than il
ever Aourished before, in war, and even the
imagination Of civil conflict we look upon
witha supersiitious fear, while Away laboring
TO avert the reality, as the almost inevitable
agent of national destruction.
IL Is III vail lot US, however, I'D speculate
thus early, upon this awfu calamity. We do
not yet know, perhaps, all its causes; nor
can We calculate all its consequences. All
that is certain is, that it will revive the dying
hopes Of monarchs and monarchists. all over
the world; and that, i'll the United States, ii
will cause universal surprise and mourning.
In the midst of what is so distressing. there
is, at least, this consolat ol,-which is not a
small one. The Republic Of France has not
fallen. 1t was the republic which commended
in arms against some of her erring children,
whom she has chastised with terrible severi-
ty,for what, it cannot be doubted, was a sedi-
tious assault. The republic survives. 1t only
remains for US TO lament the occurrence and
dread the results of an event which under all
the circumstances, cannot but be regarded
as one equally sad, unnatural, and portentous

HERE THEY CoMEl-We learn from the Paris
Mercury, of Saturday last, that Martin Grove,
an old, highly respectable, and influential De.
mocrat, of Mobile county, addressed the peo-
pie at the court house, on Monday last, in be-
half OF the old Hero of Buena Vista. He said
that he kne W Gen. Taylor, was with him at
Fort Harrison in 1912, and if the old General
still retained the moral worth, sterling integri-
ty, manly bearing, firmness, and decision of
character, SO fully manifested on that occasion
he was just the man TO fill the Presidential
chair; and the very man to dsinthralo our coun-
try fIom the difficulties by which il is surroun-
ded. He said he was democrat, and did not
intend to forsake one democratic principle, but
would certainly vote for Gen. Taylor unless
providentially hindered.
The same paper says: Massey Tanner, lead
ing and influential member of the democratic
party, being loudly called for, addressed the
people at the court house on Monday last, in an
able and eloquent manner. He declared that
il was his intention 10 vote for Gen. Taylor;
said that the old Gen. was a second Washing
ton, and styled him the bright political star of
freedoms hope, rising in the South with heal
ing in its wings, TO rescue this nation from the
political sin and corruption TO which ii is rap
idly tending. Mr.. Tanner declared himself a
democrat, and said that he had not forsaken
one democratic principle, neither would he be
doing so when voting for Gen. Taylor-that
Taylor was the candidate of the people, and not
of any Sc: or party. He was frequently inter-
rupted during his remarks by the Castles, but
his assailants soon discovered that he was not
the man to be brow beaten or kicked into the
traces; for he pounced upon them and handled
them without gloves, showing up their incon-
sistencies in such style as to make them turn
all sorts of colors. MIR. Tanner is, and will
be powerful wheel-horse in the car of liberty
on which Gen. Taylor is riding into the Pres
dential chair.-S. Louis Rep, 18th.
