the Union, and the justice of the Ameri-
can people. In these we find hope enough,
and strength enough. The people have
elevated him to the position he occupies.
He will govern his public course with a
single eye to the peoples welfare, and
with deferential respect TO the peoples
will. If under these circumstances he
should fail to receive the peoples appro-
baton, he cannot be deprived of the con-
sciousness Of having sought to merit il by
an upright, direct and patriotic policy.
Whatever may be the final organization
of the House, we are well persuaded that
it cannot fall into the hands of the friends
Of the late administration. The majority
of the House, we doubt not, regard the
House in its true constitutional character
as the grand inquest of the nation. 1t
will be an inquiring House, and reform
ing House; House soicitous to facilitate
rather than to suppress investigation, and
to communicate to the people all that it is
the right and interest oil the people TO
know tbs, at all events, will be a
triumph of the WING party-that rep
resentatives have been elected prepared
to vindicate their constitutional relations
to the Executive, and to transfer the seat
of the sovereignty from the White House
to the Capitol-irom the bureaus of The
departments to the commttee-rooms of
Congrcss-from the hands of the Presi-
dent to the hands of the people. This
for twenty years has been the great object
of WHO confict-and if it is to be at
tanned only at the expense of WING
President, it is some consolation that at
all events it has been attained.

Mr.. RIvEs presented his credentials to
the PRESIDENT on the 9Th ultlmo, at the
Elysee National, accompanying them with
the following remarks:
''MoNsIEuR LIE President: In presenting to you
the letter Of credence which have been charged
by the President of the United States to deliver TO
you, ] should very mperiectly comprehend the
spirit of my mission, and the views and feelings oi
those ! am commissioned to represent, if not
to assure you, the chosen head of this great ma
ton, Of the sincere and cordial friendship which
cherish for the people and constituted authorities Of
the French republic. There two nations
persuade ourselves, which can have stronger
motives, whether in the recolcctions of the past
the sympathics and interests Of the present, to cu
tiyato constant good understanding and fraterna
intercourse with each other.
"undcr the influence Of this sentiment, the mos
ardent vows are formed every where III the United
States for the happiness OF France, and the consol
idion of her Liberties upon the sure basis of order

sieur lie President, on late august occasion, Sc
Justly pronounced to he the distinguishing charac

the honorable trust with which have been charged

strengthening the natural bonds of amty an'
friendship between France and the United States
shall have accomplished my mission III manne
which will best answer to the wishes and intentions
of my Government, as well as to my own mos
earnest desires"
The President of the Republic declared to thu
Minister of the United States that notwithstanding
the faults which il right To admit on both sides
he willingly took the first step towards the re-cs
tahlishment of good harmony between the tw'
countries; and that susceptibility which woul'
be, perhaps, natural with respect TO a monarchy
did not appear to him TO have the same serious mo
tive regarded an elder republic. He added that
however jealous he ought to be of the honor c
France, he had too high an opinion OF the enlighi
ened character of General Taylor to hesitate me

seeing sentiments of friendship, intimate, and {
such ancient date, altered on account Of a misur

charge of the engine AT that time grossly, cul-
pably and criminally negectful careless of his
duty, Cor was incapacitated from want of proper
knowledge Of his duty,) as engineer OF said boat
We are further Of opinion that John Cannon, cap
tain of said steamboat Louisiana, is censurable and
highly culpablc in permitting his first engineer to
be absent at the time of departure of his boat and
for not lin the first engineers absence) paying
more strict attention TO the manner in which the
