PARALLEL OF THE SExEs.-The North Ameri-
says there is admirable partition of qualities
between the sexes, which the Author of our being
has distributed to each, with wisdom that cha,
lenges our unbOunded admiration
Man is strong woman is beautiful.
Man is daring and confident: woman is diflident
and unaSsumlng.
Man is great in action woman in suffering.
Man shines abroad: woman at home
Men talk TO convince women to persuade and
please.
Man has rugged heart woman soft and Ten
der
Man prevents misery: woman relieves it.
Man has science woman taste.
Man has judgment: woman sensibiIity
Man is being of justice woman an angel o.
mercy.

MANE.-The defeat of the loco Governor by
some four or I'VE thousand votes, is a most auspi-
cious sign The Passport Sentinel says this re-
suit, with the fact that the Iocos have for four
years past carried the State by fifteen hundred to
eight thousand majority, and that at the last cleo
ton, IN view of the approaching Presidential con
test they put forth all their strength is an unrnis
taxable indication that their Samson has been shorr

WELL PUT.

The following from the Richmond Wing is ex-
acty TO the point:
The Washington Union says:
"The main. indeed the only principle in il Genera,
Taylors platform) this That the President oug h TO
follow in the wake of Congress that he ought to regis
ter their edicts.'
Admitting this to be So is it not better that he
should register its edicts than that Congress should
register his? He is but one man, and elected for
four years-Congress is composed of nearly three
misunderstanding from every section of the Union,
and elected every two years. If one or the other
must register the edicts of the other seems 10 us
that it would be more Republican, even Democrat
ic, for the immediate representatives, of the people
to govern, than for man, far removed from them
! and almost irresponsible. But we are aware that
the selfstyled Democrats have a different notion
Ever since General Jackson's time, it has been
cardinal doctrine with them, that one man can
govern better than the people OF their representa-
tlyes We see the practical results of this doctrine
| in the late war with hexico-which the President
originated. We shall feel it before we have paid
the debt and settled the perplexng questions which
| that war has created.

Europe and An,erica. Ben
nett, of the Herald, remarks: J:
"The deepintevest in American
affairs evinced by the press OF
Great Britain--an interest, the
evidence of which will be found,
not only in the publication of
numerous articles on the affairs
ef this country, but in the close
ness with which the various
questions involved in the pend
ing election are argued and ex-
amined--proves that the United
States are assuming an impor-
.tance in the eyes of both the
people and the rulers of that
country, which they are afraid
20 confess, which they cannot
deny, and which is, but the fore
shadowing of that thorough
Seyolution, the beginning OF
which is already, and the end
ef which no man can foresee.'' =

american Democracy.-In a
recentspeech before the French
Assembly, De Tocqueville paid
the following compliment TO the
U. States.
.. With regard to the Democra-
cy he would not search for its
meaning in the garden of Greek
roots. He should seek for it
where he had seen il living, ac-
tive, triumphant, in the only
country In the world where it
existed and where it had sue
ceeded in founding great insti-
tutions, in America. There they
would see people among whom
the circumstances of life were
more equal than in France
people that at all times and at all
stages of the political hierarchy
regulated its own affairs, and all
members of which enjoyed the
greatest individual liberty
And so far were socialist ,heo.
ries from having obtained pos
session there, that they had a
right to say that they haad made
themselves feared there. 1t was
the country where the men who
professed these doctrines would
find it the least to their advant-
age to go; for himself it would
be no great privation if they
should undertake the voyage,
but he could not conscientiously
advise them to attempt it. So
far were democracy and social
ism from being identical that
they were absolutely opposed
to each other. Democracy was
equality inliberty, socialism was
equality in servitude.

fl Hero;ne.---An article in
Bentley's Miscellany for Septem-
Der, giving an account of the
recent French Revolution and
the subsequent insurrection,
says:
On passing by the theatre of
the Porte st. Martin on the last
day of the insurrection, l OBJ
served a Garde Mobile lying a.
sleep on some straw on per-
ceiving the cross of the Legion
OF Honor upon bis coat, | ask
ed who he was. "He" said a
bystander, "why it is a woman.
This was perfectly true; her
husband had been Garde Mo-
bile, and was killed during one
of the attacks made against the
barricades; his wife, who was
. coniinere to the battalion, put
on the fallen mans uniform, and
for three whole days was in the
thickest of the fight. She had
taken with her own hands nine
banners, and eight prisoners, &
was at the storming of no less
than 43 barricades /; yet strange
to say, she had received only
one slight wound in the arm.---
Gen. Lamorciere has decorated
; this heroine with his own cross,
upon one of the barricades, the
banner of which had been ia
ken by her aftera most furious
struggle.
