Why is if, then, that the WING party, after assembling
IN national convention, and the names of candidates hav-
ing been presented to them for the two highest offices in
Inc government why is 1t that we see this division IN our
ranks! II IS because that nomination was made by poll
uGans IN Washing zion, without consulting the will OF the
wing party. That nomination was made through the
nstrumenaty of men, selfish, designing. artfu, and am
bilious who hoped to obtain the control OF the govern
men through the imbecilty of their candidate 1t was
made by lew OF the leading heads of the wing party,

BY EUGENE SCRIBE.

At the period when the States of Grenoble,
assembled at the Chateau de While were pre-
larng the revolution of 17l9, Bernadotte,
then SERGEANT, was quartered in that town.
Little dreaming of his future eminence, he
passed his time between his military duties,
in cards and gallantry. He had obtained con-
siderable reputation amongst his comrades Tor
his success in the latter art, and made 1t
point of honor to sustain it. An opportunity
presented itself on the famous day OF the
tiles" On that day, as is well known, the
women of Grenoble. mounted on the roofs OF
their houses, assailed the Royal troops with
shower of tiles. Bernadotte, being engaged
with his regiment in the Rue Pertuisiere, was
St uck on the head by one of those projectiles,
and fell. He was thought to be dead but
maniiesting some symptoms OF life, he was
conveyed into ncighboring cafe, and laid
upon table, which is still preserved and
shown. He was not, however, destined for
the fate of Pyrrhus; by degrees he began to
recover, and opening his eyes, saw, amongst
the crowd who were rendering assistance,

"As to myself l escaped unhurt, although
men fell on all sides of me. In supporting
the charge at Churubusco we were marching
through a corn field at a trail arms, when u
grape shot struck my musket on the small OF
the stock, carrying away all the wood pant
and leaving the but hanging by the guard
iron only, rendering it perfectly useless. and
leaving me nothing to defend myself With
but one sword, which was not pleasant as
am not very expert in the use of oneyet a,
another time, being ordered to lie down 10
escape the enemys shot, with my head resting
on hill of corn, shot struck it about six
inches above my head, cutting off every stalk.
The lieutenant, who lay about two feet from
me, remarked that might consider myself
safe for the present, for it was quite certain
that l was not born to be shot on that day."
