trJs The Prairie du Chen Patriot says,
that Mr.. +. STEELE, who is improving one
of the greatest water powers in the world,
at the Falls of St. Anthony, is rapidly push
ing forward in the great work. The dam,
which is nearly completed, is 700 feet in
length-4o0 feet from the Wisconsin shore
TO the head of an island, thence 300 up
stream, 10 the foot Of another island. The
dam is l6 feet high, built of heavy timber,
and but short distance above the principal
fall. Upon the dam will he built the saw
mills, running l6 saws, and extending at in
teryas, from the shore to the island. At
the east end Of the dam, is space reserved
for the erection Of Touring mill. The
completion ofthe work is contemplated the
present year; two or three saws will be in
operation by the first of August next. This
is truly magnificent work, and when COM
can be no doubt Of its prov
ing a profitable investment.

FOR PRESIDENT,
Democracy.

A substantial, wen regulated government
of the people, is thing Of slow growth
We do not believe, and never did believe,
that the overthrow of all the thrones of Eu-
rope, js'all that is requisite to establish free
government there. Destruction is more
speedy than growth. a revolution is easi-
or TO get up than republic. A despotism
may be got up readily; for money may for
tify il; but republic, resting upon the solid
sense, intelligence and wisdom of the mass
es, il the 'slow growth of time.
Revolution may increase licentiousness in
the French nation know and understand and
practice true freedom. We believe and are
now better convinced than ever, that Napo-
leon did no injustice to France, in giving her
government that rested upon something
more substantial than The wild vagaries Of
French philosophers, who had maddened
France with impraciicable plans of freedom
and equality.
The Philadelphia North American com
ments with much force upon the late attack
made upon the deliberations of the new gov
eminent aud says: How strongly all the
perils of liberty were depicted in the history
of Paris, on fhcmcmorablc 18th of May. On
The morning Of that day, France was mn or
ganized republic, to appearance stable, ms
well rs the mightest, on the globe mighty
IN her Immense population and the unanim-
ity of their patriotism. And yet, by mid
day, all was anarchy; the Legislative hall in
the hands of wild mob,--ihc Representa-
tlves Of the people driven from their seats,
the tribunals occupied by bandits, assault
lug The name of democrats, who came TO Is
sue DEGREES Of war and taxation, and ram
pant bedlamites who proclaimed the disco
luton Of the new republic; and bandits and
bedlamites both backed by hundred thou
sand freeman, who called themselves the
people, and were, in reality, portion of the
peoplel This revolution Of anarchy was,
indeed, arrested, and the disgraceful scene
soon brought TO an end; but il was by the
firmness of half dozen men, forming the
government, and the courage of few thou
sand Naiionl Guards, willing TO stand by
the government And yet how imminent,
for while, the danger; and how melan-
choly the reflection that all this danger was
voluntarily created hy French freemcn--thc
people ,hemselves--who were willing thus
10 outrage the temple of their liberties, aud
overturn government,--a free government
IA democratic government their own
government, which could only have been
replaced by a military usurpation, or new
reign Of terror, from which they, France,
and all mankind must have suffered all the
wrongs and ngonies from which II is the
aim of common sense and the prayer of hu
man nature TO escape. As long as French
men are capable Of such tremendous de
monstra,ions," whether ahsurduies Of en-
thusiasm or Of wrath, their republic stands
upon volcano, or upon powder-maga-
zine, which any Barhes, or Blanaui, or
Louis Blanc, or other political madman may
blow up al his pleasure"

NARROW EscAPE.-We learn that an ac-
cident occurred on the railroad yerterday af-
ternoon, about three miles this side of Can
andiagua. The up train was proceeding
west with eight enigrant and two passenger
cars, when il came IN contact with snake
head, the iron striking the seventh emigrant
car and forcing its way through the bottom
In its course it came in contact with the
foot of German woman, forcing the flesh
from the bottom & side, mangling it pretty
badly, and also bruising the sides ofthe legs
below the knees. The bar then passed to
the top Of the car, grazing the head of
man in its course. Two emigranrs and two
passenger cars were thrown off the track,
against the bank, but no one was injured ma
terially except the woman referred TO. The
wonder Is, THAT out of so many passengers
only one was hurt. 4 similar fortunate es-
cape could not have cen anticipated one
time out of thousand.-Roch. Daily i'd

DIsGRAcEFUL AFFRAY.-On Sunday last.
the Mayor of this city. Henry ID. Truett,
commenced personal assault on Mr.. r. s.
Harris well known citizen here, and cot
badly whipped. He was carried off the
ground in an insensible state, bur we are
glad TO be able TO contradict the report that
his life is 10 any danger. Harris was brought
up before Mr.. Justice Smith, yesterday, and
acquitted. Process was also served on Tru-
EFT, but he was not able to appear. We dis
like to give any additional currency to
matter as dlsgraceful us This to the city. but,
when those whose sworn duty it is to en-
force law and preserve order among us. show
no respect for the law themselves, for the
office they hold nor for the moral feelings
of the city, the citizens must know that they
themselves share in pretty extensive dis
grace. Mr.. Truett must he himself fully
aware by this time, that he has not the quail
ifications essential to proper discharge of
the duties of Mayor, and the feeling is gen.
eral, that it is his duty toresign. Weshould
comment severely on this affair, were it
not for Mr.. Truett's present afflicted condi-
ton.
We have heard several versions Of the
cause of the quarrel, and the particulars of
the atfray, but the facts, we presume, were
all made apparent to the court yesterday

The treaty just concluded with Mexico, the

Slavery, therefore, being prohibited by the
laws of Mexico, cannot exist or be intro
