We cannot under stand upon what prin-
ciple the senior editor of the Union lays
such stress upon the opinions of General
JACKSON OH men and measures. 1t seems
as if he were seeking to endorse and
establish his own disgrace. Every body
knows that there were no opinions more
emphatically and uniformly expressed by
General JACKSON than those which he
entertained with regard to the Richmond
Enquirer and its editor. They are familiar
to our readers. They have been repeat
edly reproduced upon the floor Of Con-
gress by the political friends of the senior
editor. They have been repeatedly re-
published in the public journals, and they
are proved by testimony which admits of
no denial or doubt.
If the Union then should succeed in i'm
pressing its views Of the value of General
JACKsoN's opinions on its readers, we
think it would be no more than fair that it
should give them the whole of his opin-
iOHS. VuCH ~ lllOIHlS US lIldl 1cHtIdl
JACKSON thought this and that, it should
not withhold what the General thought Of
the Richmond Enquirer. 1t does not deal
fairly by its readers. 1t does not deal
honorably by the illustrious dead
It's eulogies upon General JACKSON are
libel upon his memory. There was
nothing which that great man deprecated
so much as the praise Of the senior editor.
He said that if his conduct should be APP
proved by the Richmond Enquirer, he
should suppose that in some unguarded
moment he had "committed some great
moral improperly" Now, we insist that
the Union, under such circumstances, has
no right to soil the memory ofthe deceased
soldier and patriot by eulogies which he
Indignantly repudiated in his lifetime a,
the worst of censures.

France,


The last accounts from France do not
lift the veil of doubt which has hung upon
her political prospects since the dethrone-
ment of the citizen king. In glancing
through our Paris files, three incidents, Of
recent occurrence, and somewhat signf-
cant import, arrest our attention. The
first is the discovery of Legitimist con-
spracy; not very formidable, it is true,
but important in connexon with the we'll
grounded suspicion that the principal par
ties to it are kept in the back ground.
Some forty-six gentlemen were arrested
by the Commissary of Police in house of
the rue Rumtort, occupied by one Mon
sieur de CHAMPAGNE, president of this
secret society, which, by the way, had ia
ken the title of the 90 Legion of ST. HUI
bert" The members of this legion wore
card, on which was figured in relief the
bust of Henry ", with the inscription,
"The orphan is strong in the hands of
God" The greater part of the conspira-
tors asseverated that they had only assem-
bled to consider the constitutional means
of electing their candidate; but others
avowed that their object was to establish
HENRI V. on the throne of his ancestors.
The second incident, to which we refer,
is the reported address of President Boz
NAPARTE to the projects of bis creation for
different departments. The President is
said TO have told them that they ought
forthwith to prepare for the constitutional
reelection of the present executive. Now
as, in order TO compass this, the constitu-
ton must be changed, the matter will be
seen to be far from an easy ore. "The
constitution dechres," says one of the
journals propitious to the scheme, lie
Credit "that the President shall not be re-
elected but it says also that itself may
be revised" In other words, the consti-
tuition must be made TO give way to the
ambitious designs of Monsieur BoNAPARTEl
The authenticity of the address to the pre-
fects of departments is denied by some of
the journals, but not by the Monitor.
"The coup d'stat is adjourned" says a
Paris correspondent of the London Globe,
" but il is certain that Louis Napoleon
will use all his efforts, before the expiration
of his term, to prolong his authority. He
has often declared to intimate friends, that
he would remain at the head of the French
nation while he lived--no matter under
what title"
The third incident is proposition to
sell the diamonds of the crown, amount
ing in value to 20,900,0 900 francs. The
commission TO which the subject was re-
ferred has reported against it And this
at time when the excuse for adjourning
the most necessary reforms is want of
money. "Who knows" says Legit-
imist journal in opposition to the sale,
" whether, in selling them to-day at low
price, we shall not soon have to re-pur-
chase them at enormous sacrifcesl For
who can say what universal suffrage may
not have in reserve for us ~ Another rea-
son for the retention Of the diamonds is,
that "the collection is an historical one,
commencing with the sceptre of Charlie
magne, and ending with the sword of
Austerlitz." A plain, matter-of-fact Red
Republican has proved, however, that nei-

expressing regret the part of their writers at the
necessity Of being absent from the festival; among

ernor Briggs, of Massachusetts,; Lewis Cass, of

speeches followed, historical, congratuatory, and
humorous. Among the speakers were the presi
dent and vice presidents Of the society, Messrs
Simeon Draper, J. =. Hall, Hon. George Bancroft,
and others equally distinguished. The great speech
Of the evening was from Mr.. Bilbo, of Tennessee
After expressing his qualification at what nc had
and heard during the evening Of the greatness
and glory of New England, he declared that her
greatness and her glory were the common patri
mony Of American citizens. II was his, and he
proud Of il as the proudest New Englander
present He would not exchange n single inch Of
Bunker Hill for all the territory acquired in the
Mexican war. Pursuing this train Of thought, and
warming with his subject as he proceeded, he took
occasion 10 advert TO the threatened detection Of
certain States in case Congress should egislate in
opposition to their will. He denounced their course
in strain of the most animated defamation, and
exclaimed i'm conclusion, when the damnable lac
ZIONIST shall arise, who would destroy the bonds of
this Union, he will find Brutus's dagger in the
hands of every true hearted Tennessean.'
"a torrent of dcalenng applause followed and il
was some minutes before the voice Of the president
could be heard announcing the name Of the sue
ceeding speaker. In the course Of the evening the
