Europe-the many agtatIons of the democracie
their demands Of civil meorations, and the con-

heads, all indicate the fact Of this assertion.
Italy has burst the shackles that have bound the
and is now governed under constitutional forms Of
government. The Swiss have carried liberal
principles to The utmost limits of their territory
In the Rheimish States the people have compelled
their soveregns to make concessions to the Spirit
Of the Age. The King of Prussia has made some
concessions, and promises more. Imperial Aus
tria has let out link TO the people, and has
yielded somewhat to the march Of events.-|
France at one single bound, has swept the tinsel-
ed puppets from their gilded thrones and vanqush-
ed tyranny from her soil. In general confa-

cratic principles.
DIVERSITY OF OPINGoN.-The Lexington (Ky.)
Observer, regards Mr.. Clay the most available
whig candidate for the Presidency. The Nash
vile OrthopOliam hopes, for the good of the whig
party, that Mr.. Clay will not run. The N. York
Tribune says that Mr. Clay is the strongest whig
candidate. The Richmond (Va.) Vhig ays the
" strongest whig candidate will not do-he must
be the strongest candidate-who will beat the de-
mocratic candidate; and that Taylor is the man.
The Philadelphia North american says that Tay-
or is the strong man and carry several demo-
cratic States. The Boston alias rejoins, and says
but he will lose several whig States, (alI of New
England.)
These are sad diversities among our brethren
of the whig press; and if both sides state true,
they have no candidate strong enough to lick the
democrats. The Northern wings do not believe
in taking man whose principles they are not cer-
tain of-they afraid of being Iylerised. And
the Southern branch of that family say they do
not want to be beat with Mr.. Clay any moro
Come on gentlemen, bring your best man, and we
will beat you again, with him.
0IFIn Boston, Prof. Bronson, has made discov-
Grey of importance in regard 10 that sublime optic
instrument, the human eye. The discovery, the
ChronotyPe says, is simple and practical as it is
philosophical. By q very easy, painless exter
nal operation, he is enabled to relieve those de-
fects which call for glasses, both the concave and
convex, and both young people and old ones find
themselves able to lay aside their specacles.
