government Independent of Neapolitan thral-
dom, Notwithstanding the government had REIN
forced the garrison at Messina The Messines
stormed the fortress of St. Salvador, March 7th
and put great numbers of the garrison TO the
sword.
The English fleet remained on the coast, and
it is confidently affirmed that Great Britain has
determined to support the SiciIians in the main
tenance of the Constitution of 1912.
PoLAND.-March is, the inhabitants Of Ora
COW proclaimed Republic. Fifteen thousand
insurgents were under arms On the 9TH, they
compelled the Governor to release 400 political
prisoners, implicated in the recent instruction.
RUssIA.-The reported death Of Emperor
Nicholas was wholly unfounded. Though the
connections in France and Germany have
scarcely had time to produce an effect here, the
Emperor, taking alarm has ordered the organi-
cation Of all the military reserves. A large part
of the Army is to be put on the War footing,
and assembled Immediately. This step, says
the Emperor, is required by the events trans
piring in Western Europe which manifest the
"sinful design of subvertng legal authorities"
AT grand ball at st. Petersburgh, on the
9Th March, an aid-de-camp suddenly entered
and gave slip Of paper to the Emperor. His
majesty changed color, and with sign of his
hand he babe the music stop. Turning to the
officers, he said
Northumberland is a republic you must
be ready to put foot in stirrup at a moments
notice"
GREEcE.-The Kingdom of Greece is in a
troubled condition, and it is probable that the
reign ofthe imbecile Ohio will soon terminate

chasing directly of the manufacturer,-especlaly
when of the gentlemanly, hgh-minded and FAR deal

The Election,

Since the issue of our last paper there have not been
sufficient additional returns of the Governor vote re-
ceived to warrant us in again publishing the VOTE
We shall be obliged to wait for the official VOTE in
order to ascertain the exact result The wing vote
will probably be some 500 less than last year. while
the increase of the whole vote cast will leave them
some 1000 more farther from choice by the peo-
pie than last year.
The Senate stands as reported last week, with the
exception of Essex County, which is proved by the
official vote to be whig by 10 plurality
We have seen no reason to change our opinion ma
teray to the state of the parties in the House Of
Representatives. Two towns in Chttenden County,
Milton and St George prove to be whig, and are
the only ones that, to our knowledge have been ero-
neously claimed Free Soil; while one or two that
we have conceded to the whgs we have good reasons
for believing do not belong there. From our present
lights we see no reason to doubt that there Is an ac-
tua majority against The whgS in the House, and
while the wings themselves well assured of the
fact as we are, they boldly claim it otherwse-partly
for effect on elections abroad and partly with the hope
of securing majority with the immense power ant
patronage which they have long possessed We re-
peat our caution to every Free Soil member elect t.

Taylor and Fillmore in the South

The Richmond Wing is one of the ablest Taylor
papers in the Union 1t is filled every day with strong
articles and convincing arguments addressed 10 its
readers, in favor of Taylor and Fillmore. But we
never these articles copied into the Taylor papers
of this state. For some reason or other the Taylor
papers of the South and the North are not upon good
terms; they don't quote each others articles; they slight
each other IN a very pointed manner. Here is one of
the Richmond Wings abest articles In short
space it furnishes the most convincing proof that Tay
or is just the man the people want We suppose
that our Free Soil friends will object to our giving
place to Taylor articles, but are willing to let the
people hear all sides of the question. Here is the
Richmond Wings argument for Taylor
TAYLOR AND FILLMORE IN THE SOuTH-. In look
ing ouer The accounts Of the Whg meetings. through the
State ne discover ht those persons tCho constitute them
are composed, IN Uery great degree, Of the LARGEST
SHAREHOLDERS AMONG Us. They, ii seems, are per
eCtly ,Uihng to trust Taylor and Futnore-they have
fears for the safety Of their propery-they do not
believe that the Wing candidates will, if elected, do
anything to impair their right to their property or to
weaken their grasp upon it. 1t is those disnterested
gentlemen who have no slaves themselves, that are
principally alarmed on the subject
Those who really would be injured by any assault
upon Souther rights or Southern property, feel them
selves assured, if other wanting, by
the fact that Zachary Taylor is himself stakeholder
and that he do nothing 10 irHe them chich aOU no

Has Lewis Cass given any such pledges as this?
