The Free Press has an Interesting account
ol, the case Of Mr. Tayman. He was bit

n tlay of last week, when he felt snrl:!en and
acute pain in tie scar of the wound, which
shot like Iiyhlning up his shoulder, and
thence through his breast. Then for the
first time were the fears OF lie unhappy man
aroused; he felt rresemmcnt OF his death.

In his worse condition. there were intervals

is FRANCE FIT FOR REPUBLIc!- The
following remarks. from the Baltimore A
merican. are upon a topic which interest
. most people al this time:
Tie determination of the French people
to establish Republic is evlnccd by The
fact that neither Theirs nor OIiI!on Barr",
the leaders of tho liberalists in the Chamber
.ofDcputies, were admitted into the Provis
ianal Government on account of their advo
cacy Of Regency.
Nothing tainted with an infusion Of Roy,
ali,v, it seems, will now do fnr France, the
throne, its emblem, torn from The Tuillcries
carried in procession 'hrongh the streets o
Paris, and then shivered into thousand
:. pieces, has ceased to represent Power ol
a Principle.
:. The question arises full of interest anc
involved in doubt-caa France maintain
Republic7 The friends of Freedom and o
Progress will not allow themselves 10 dis
trust. They are full of hope. full of conf
dence! The experience OF sixty years ha
done probably more for France in teachin!
