Patriotism in the French Pro-
ViNCeS

A Paris correspondent Of the London
Daily News, speaks thus Of the bodies Of
National Guards which arrived from the
provinces to the aid Of their hard pressed
brethren in the Capital.
''One of the circumstances presented in
the present state Of Paris, which strikes a
foreign eye most forcibly, is the spectacle
|of the arrival of the National Guards of
the provinces in the capital; there is no
installing them; they are is manifest as
would be the town councils OF Somerset
shire villages parading Cornhill, after the
procession of the Lord Mayors show
yet their appearance does not excite laugh
ter. Here are body OF men who come
up some fifty or sixty leagues at their own
expense; they bring with them their own
sustenance, they bivouack in the streets
or gardens they come to defend their
country against anarchy, and they return
to their home equally at their own ex-
pense, without the hope, prospect, or pro-
liability Of any other reward or any other
glory than the consciousness of having
worthily discharged a public duty.
l observed to-day a circumstance con-
nected with these bands Of brave peasants
truely characteristic. saw females among
them, wives who could not reconcile them
selves to remain behind their husbands in
the hour of danger. These females march
ed with bold and free step, and were
each Of them armed with drawn sword,
which they had learned to carry with no
inconsiderable grace"

nsla nd al ties Him.

sENGLAND HATES LEWIS CAss," says
a Wing paper; and therefore, it argues
America should not honor him. True,
England does hate him, and has had rea-
sons therefor; but in proportion to Eng
lands hate, is Americas love. England
hates him and America loves him; because
he lerreted out and crushed the first con-
spiracy against the integrity OF the Amer
lean Union--the BURR conspiracy; be-
cause he fought back the British hirelings
on the northern frontier during the war OF
1872, and aided i'll overwhelming PRocroR
at the battle OF the Thames; because as
Governor of Michigan he defeated all
British designs on that territory and in that
neighborhood; because at the Sault Ste
Marie, he walked into the Indian camp
tore down the British flag, and declared
that ''no other than the .americ0n flag can
aCare orer .7merican soil; because for a
long series of years he counteracted British
Vaccinations among the Indians of the
North west, and labord to give power and
wealth to that section OF our Union, SO
as to check all future designs OF England
on that frontier; because as Secretary of
war he stood by Old Hickory in firm
maintenance of all our rights, and in
strengthening our military resources; and
especially because as Minister in France,
he headed JOINS BULL in his scheme for
destroying the freedom Of the seas, and as
U. S. Senator, insisted on the extreme
rights and claims of the Z. States against
British pretensions every where; because
he has contcnded for an increase of Amer
lean territory and power--for bringing out
its immense resources-for preparing it
for its great mission as the leading nation
of the world and the exemplar offreedom;
because he has freely spoken his heart
felt sympathies far struggling Ireland, and
cheered on the mighty movements which
are now topping one European throne af-
ter another. Doubtless, there is no Amer
lean living whom England hates more COR
daily, and around him the Republican
sympathies Of the U. States and of the
great masses every where should cluster
with more fondness. With him at the
head of our Republic, no Vaccinations of
European despots against this country can
escape detection, and none will escape
uncrushed. Let England hate. Her
hatred will be as impotent, as American
love will be all-poweriul.-The Weekly
Union.

Religion Plea for Politics.

In letter written in 1898, Lamartine
thus beautifully and religiously explains
his motives for entering political life:
"N henthe Divine Judge shall summon
us to appear before our conscience at the
end OF our brief journey here below, our
modesty, our weakness, will not be an ex-
cuse Tor our inaction. 1t will be of no
avail to reply, we were nothing, we could
do nothing, we were but as grain ofsand.
He will say to us, | placed before you, in
your day, the two scales of beam, by
which the destiny OF the human race was
weighed: in the one was good, and in the
other evil. You are but a grain of sand,
no doubt, but who told you that, that grain
of sand would not have caused the balance
to incline on my side? You have inteli-
gence TO see, conscience to decide. and
you should have pluceci tire grain of sand
in one or the other: you did neither. Let the
wind drift it away: it has not been of any
use to you, or your brethren"

The wing papers say that when it was
announced at Baltimore that Gen. Cass
was the nominee of the democratic con-
vention, the very boys in the streets sang
out "Hurrah for Taylor" s....
We are ready to believe that if the
decision Of the Presidential election were
left to tire "boys in the Streets Old lack
would outstrip any name that could be put
up, except perhaps sold Whitey;' but as
happily the matter has to be settled by
men, very different result may well be
anticipated. John Randolph said that
when Purdy, the horse jockey, won the
great race between Eclipse and Sir Hen
ry, if left to the "boys, Of all oges," he
would have been elected President of the
United States on the spot. We cannot
believe that much of the popularity of
Gen. Taylor, as candidate for the Pres
idency, is better founded or more consid-

A Familiar Comparison.

The Democratic party, because it NOM
mated General JEcKsoN for the Presden-
cy, was assaulted with all the bitterness
characteristic of Federalism. Old Hicko-
ry was denounced as tyrant because he
had been military chiettain-as a politi-
cal empyric, because he had volunteered
to lead our armies to victory; and yet he
had been lawyer, judge, a senator in Con-
gress, and governor Of a territory, before
he had reached his fortieth year-and for
fifteen years before his election had been a
private citizen, mingling with, and taking
part in, all the civil affairs Of the country.
Now this same party, then SO abusive of
Gen. JACKSON, that they even preferred
"war, pestilence and famine" to his
election, have put forth a candidate who
never held civil office-who never gave
vote in his life-who is conEessedly ig-
norant of, and has formed no opinion in
relation to the great leading principles
that divide the country. 30 consistency,
thou art indeed a jewell. THE pennsyl-
vanian.

Mexican MilkulcN.

One of the curiosities of Mexico is the
manner of selling milk; instead of the neat
white wooden vessel, or the longs routed
tin can, with the different measures hung
upon it, and the rafting bellcart to convey
it from place to place with despatch, or an
old humspunlooking negro packing it about
on his hard-crowned head we have the
live animals themselves driven from door
to door of the different regular customers
where they are MIXED and regular stand
where the transient pataons are supplied
by milking it into the vessel in which they
take it home. Besides a drove Of cows,
with the calves all muzzled, running and
bleating after them, there is also a gang of
goats and asses driven along, that people
may suit themselves as to quality and
price, as also their different tastes-for
which there is no accounting. 1t is i'm
possible to derive the reason or origin of
this mode of vending milk, unless it rose
from the natural villany OF the people, and
their distrust of each other-it being a
preventative against adul,eration, and of
their disposing of a quality of milk in(eri-
or to that represented.

THE INDIANS OF MEx1co-TnE1R AZ
FICTION FOR THE AMERIcAHs.-On the
departure of our army from Mexico, the
Indians. who constitute nearly the whole
laboring population, exhibited their sorrow
and regret in the most striking and ai1ec-
tionate manner. The sojourn of our army
in Mexico has relieved these poor and in
teresting people of many expressions and
taxes to which they have been long sub
jected. They are the producers and in
dustrials Of the country, and hitherto have
contributed through the Alcabal., and 9TH
err taxes, to support the extravagant gov
eminent Of Mexico. AS our army passed
out of their towns, crowds Of these poor
people surrounded our troops, and threw
bouquets and fruit to the soldiers, and ma
ny of them wept most piteously, crying
out that they had lost their only friends.
This feeling will inevitably arouse the
Indians, who compose six-eights of the
population of Mexico, to resistance and
rebellion against the authorities of that
country.-N. o. Delta, June 81.

Another Candidate.

One ofthe original lords of the sofia
venerable and respectable .Nusquokie,
about 80 years of age, passed through this
place last week on his way East. 1t is
understood that his object is to present his
claims to the Presidency to the whig par
ty, through the National Intelligencer.-
He declares that he sims not slept under a
roof for forty gears" and "has mol get for
med any opinions npon political sutjectsl -
He further states, that although he new
er employed blood hounds to hunt down
his enemies, yet he has had his belt hung
round with the scalps Of "delenceless wo-
men and children"
The extraordinary character of the
claims of this battle Scared soldier and
brave chieilian, is exciting the deepest
feeling in the wing ranks. They may yet
drop the STAKEHOLDER Of Louisiana, and take
up this new aspirant, who, to be sure
owns no slaves, but can boast of seven
wives, all of his own color! Clear the
way Bloomington Enquirer.

l beg that you will convey to my fellow
citizens Of Raleigh my grateful acknow-
Judgments for this distinguished mark Of
their confidence; and assure them that l
shall feel proud ofthe support OF men who
are governed by such a spirit Of moderu-
tion IN their political opinions, as that
manifested in the resolutions before me.
For yourself, sir, he pleased to accept
the assurance of my high esteem and
kindest wishes.

Gen. Taylor is delighted with the med
Grafton of political opinions. But here it
is:
ANOTHER IMPORTANT LETTER FROM
GEN. TAYLOR. The Charleston Is. c.
News furnished the following extract from
a letter from Gen. Taylor, written since
the Philadelphia nomination:
Only former declaration are those only
which govern me, and which l now repeat
that it is not my purpose to accept o. The
uhig nomination on a uhig platform, or upon
any platform but that which is based upon
my own repeated declarations"
Will the supporters of Gen. Taylor still
gable about wing principles? Here their
candidate fatty refuses to accept the wing
nomination upon the ''whig platform, or
upon o'y Platform" Would it not be just
as well for wing candidates for the legis-
lature, for Governor, &C., to hold their
tongues about measures or principles of
any kind? Their candidate avows no op-
inions definitely. He is not WING can
didate at all.

A voice within US speaks the startling word,
"Man, thou shalt never die1' Celestial voices
Hymn it around our souls: according harps,
By angel fingers touched, when the mild stars
OF morning sang together. sound forth still
The song Of our great immortality!
Thick, clustering orbs, and this our fair domain,
The tall dark mountains, and the deep-toned seas
Join in this solemn, universal song.

From all the air! IT'S in gentle moonlight;
IT'S floating in days setting glories; night,
Wrapped in her sable robe, with silent step,
Comes to our bed, and breathes it in our ears;
Night and the dawn, bright cay and thoughtful

All time, all bounds, the limitless expanse,
As one vast, mystic instrument, are touchd
By an unseen, living Hand, and conscious chords
Culver with JOY in the great jubilee:
The dying hea it; and as sounds of earth
Grow dull and distant, wake their pa sing souls
To minge in this heavenly harmony.

der in the city of Mexico, and sentenced
to be hung, but who were pardoned by
Gen. Butler, arrived at New Orleans a

know them, than he promptly ordered
