GJ-The Concord IN. H) Statesman heads
IFS news of the French Revolution thus; "Tri-
umph of the Wings and Independents over the
old Hunkers!" .... .
And such a triumph we hope the "Whigs
and Independents" of the United States may
achieve over the cold Hunkers" of locofoco-
ism. There is a similarity between the sold
Hunkers'' of France and the cold Hunkers"
(ofiice holders and office seekers) in this coun-
try. Louis Philippe was put upon the throne
by Lafayette and his republican friends with
the promise that he would carry out measures
of constitutional reform and give liberty to
France. But these promises-merely HKane
Letter" were forgotten, and securely plac-
ed in power he hattered the people for while
with honed words, but surrounded himself
with the enemies of liberty. With the army
under his control and thousands of civil Off
GERS, he able TO elect TO the Chamber of
Deputies such men as he chose-such as would
support his usurpations and his treachery to
the people. In the mean time he was enrich
ing himself and his followers from the Treas
ury of the people, and finally involved the
Treasury in bankruptcy. If the people COM
planned they were rode over by his subsidized
and supple followers, till at last the oppressed
rose in their might and conquered!
The people sought peaceabe relief by the
utterance of their grievances in their assem-
blies-bnnqucts-but this was esteemed "mor-
al treason by the King and his hirelings, and
at last power brought into requsiton to
silence the public voice The result is as it
should be-destruction to the enemies Of the
freedom of speech. ..4a
The history of Louis Philippes corrupt and
tyrannical reign, correctly narrated, would
present no fancy picture (varied only by cir
cumstances) Of the spirit, practice, and cor
ruption of the locofoco leaders in the United
States. . ... ......

An Important Fact.

The confidential instructions ofour Govern
ment to Mr. Slidell when he was sent to Mexi-
CO, previously to the war, have been surrepti-
tiously published las the treaty was. These in.
structions reveal fact ofsome moment. They
instruct Mr. Slidell to offer the payment of the
claims ofour citizens upon .Menico, If .NericO
icould yield the RIO 'Grandc as a b0undarw
While Mr. Polk and his party publicly claim
ed our righ to the Rio Grande to be unques-
tionable, as ground of justification for the
war, the Government in its confidential inter
course with Mexico, acknowledged the terrific
ny claimed by Mexico, east Of the river, to be
hers, by instructing our minister to pay some
SO, 900, 900 for it And here, in these secret
instructions of the Government, is confess
sion of the fact, alleged by the wings, that Tex
as did not extend to the Rio Grande, and con-
sequently the war was commenced by Mr.
Polk in ordering our army to march into Mex,
lean territory. '.',.

The Trial of DR.. Coolidge, il being Of sngu.
lar interest, we have given in its main features
upon our first page. 1t is pretty clear that he
murdered Mathews for the money he was
known to have in his possession, and which
he put into the hands ofFlint after he was sus-
pected ofthe crime-in order, perhaps, TO en-.
trap him. Flint very wisely declined secret
ing it in his trunk
The defence failed to impeach Flint's test-
mony, and the jury brought in verdict Of
guilty. Coolidge was thereupon sentenced to
be hung in one year from the day sentence was
pronounced

The Ten Regiments Bill.

This bill the Polk Senators pushed through
the Senate after the Treaty had been ratified,
and the people will wonder for what purpose
If the war should continue the fifty thousand
soldiers in Mexico are sufficient for all "prac-
teal purposes" No one anticipates that San
ia Anna could now raise an army of ten thou.
sand men, and could he gather one of this
number three thousand ofour men would put
him to fight But it is not his friend Santa
Anna that Mr. Polk wishes to fight This bill
was not passed for that purpose, but, as almost
every body believes, simply to give the APP
pointment of 500 officers to the President to
send over the country to do electoRee ring for
locofocoism. Mr. Calhoun remarked that the
passage ofthe Bill would cost the people 49,
600, 000-not in raising the ten regiments, but
in feeling the 500 officers for nominally enlist.
ing soldiers that are pot needed and who would
never, in all probability, be called into service
The prospect, however, is that the House will
not allow the bill to become a law.

GTThe Committee of Congress, deputed to

WONDERFUL DIsCov cry. We Ind IN the

vate the earth. Re mains of charred wedges and

mile through the forest, and an expenditure OF

Their great antiquity would seem to carry US
back TO other tribes Yet it is not impossible
that the present Indians may be the descendants

Solution Of a great Geographical Prob.em.-
Soon after the discovery OF America adventurous
navigators were employed to seek tor passage,
by water, from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans,
along the northern coast of this continent. As
early as the reign of Elizabeth it was ascertaned
that if there were any such passage its perpetual
obstruction by ice would make it useless for navl-
ga'ion. Still the geographical question continued,
and the scientific world was concerned to know
whether the continent Of America extended to
the north pole, or whether, short OF that extent
its northern Limit was bounded by continuous
reach OF those frozen seas, straits, and channels,
parts of which had been frequently visited
Explorations, both by lard aud water, were
made at different times, until finally the discove.
ries OF Messrs Simpson and Deas, Officers of the
Hudson's Bay Company, in 1888 and 49, left yet
TO be surveyed ouly section OF the coast, extend
ing westward from Parry s straits OF the Fury and
Hecla, and including the large extent OF land
called Boothia Felix, generally represented on
maps as an Island. In 1916 the Hudson's Bay
Company sent out John Rae, Esq. to survey this
unexplored portion. He accomplished the task,
and on the 10th OF September last.made his re
port TO the Governor of the Company. The prin-
cipal fact which he ascertained is that Boothia
Felix is part OF North America-a peninsula, as
Capt. Ross supposes it to be. His explorations,
taken in connection with those that preceded
them, settled a long mooted question, and show
that-with the exception OF Boothia Felix, which
stretches as far northward as IA OF latitude-the
northern coast OF America extends from the At
lanic to the Pacific in a line varying little from
the 10th degree OF north latitude Cincinnati
