sumed n conservative position and made
very pretty speech, there is no telling
when the debate will lose, as speakers

the Bank, whether or not. There has heen
no petitions. no memorials, or presen,menls

Essropean affairs, :.

After allthe brave efforts made in Europe
TO establish liberal governments, the news
brings the most dlsheartning intelligence
Rome has surrendered 10 the French and the
Pope will be restored to all his temporal
rights, y Italy returns to the domination Of
Austria; the combined power,of- Austria and
Russia is bearing down upon Hungary, and
Germany has formed a strong union with, an
imperial head. Very little has been gained
by the people in these bloody revolutions, ex-
ceptlng in lightning the chains hereafter, and
in some countries, giving them the show of
representative governments. The greatest
OF all failures has been that of France, which
s,t the ball in motion and had not the energy
to keep it moving. There is howsver some
excuse for her political bankruptcy; the i'm
pulses of the French in tho cause of liberty
are good, but they want stability of character
and principles-their liberty is wild reck
less one, they do not understand that liberty
and law are insepcrable, they cannot enjoy
freedom with callnness and moderation The
moment LOUIS PH1LLIPpE was driven away,
the Red-republicans, Socialists, Aggrarians,
| AMI working men attempted to seize upon the
government, and had they succeeded, the
guillotine would have been erected in every
city and anarchy firmly established; the
friends of law and order combined every
where against them and the lcgitamistf,
placed LOUIS NAPOLEON temporarily in pow
er, only to remain until all Europe is tranquil
and one of the Orleans or Bourbon dynasty
can ascend the throne. Democracy is diff
fcult government to establish upon the ruins
OF thrones, every man thinks that he is free to
do as he pleascs and will not bring himself
under tho necessary restraints of the law
A democratic, or republican form of govern
ment is the strongest of all governments II
the people pass wise laws and are wise on
ough to have them faithfully administered
But the great error has been mistakng an.
archy and despotism for law and liberty. Nc
hne speclous theories are necessary, no ab-
stractlons or philosophical rules are requr-
ed to carry out the plain principles Of free and
equal rights. We never knew France sink
SO low in the general estimation, as she has
in the course pursued towards the Roman
Republic. 1t was contemplate, pcriidious
and treacherous and we believe Louis Napo,
leon has acted throughout the matter as a
mere tool in the hands Of the European; sffi5fi. fa

opinion on the subject. France has !os. q

Wilmington mad IMamchcster
Rail- gEouG.

This day week is appointed for n meet
ing Of the Directors Of the Road and the pub
lie in general, TO start this great enterprise
and Sumter being thus placed in SO hon
orable position will not belle her fame,
but will step up nobly and to man in its
favor. AS far as our observation permits, we
think the project is very popular throughout
the whole District. On the same day the
contracts will be let, and it is expected that
Gen. w. w. HARLEE, the President of the
Road and the Resident Engineer will be in
the village and they will willingly give any
information as to the present progress and
prospects Of the enterprise. The completion
of this road is only necessary to monopolize
the tide Of travel from South to North, which
now is forced to take steamers from Savan-
nah and Charleston to Wilmington and will
form, in great measure, the connecting link
Of Rail Road on our seaboard, from New Or
leans 10 Nova Scotia. We learn from re-
liable source that negotiations are now pond
ing, (Which the Company's Agent is sanguinc
of carrying out) to procure the whole Of the
iron for the Road in England on the following
terms, viz: one-third (S2O0,00W in money
one-thrd in Bonds at 10 years and the remain
der in the Company's stock at par, to be de-
livercd at about $42 Il ton, freights and duty
included. This would be very desirable
arrangement, it will be very great saving to
the Company, and the road will be built
two years sooner. The state Of affairs being
SO unsettled in Europe, we have every hope
TO expect that this arrangement will be made,
and that European capital, now invested in
prccarious and sinking funds, will be travers-
ing the Atlantic and taking shares in our
great National enterprises. We trust our
fellow-ctizcns, will pay willing and attent-
i've eye to the disposal of the contracts-we
have every facility to take them ALL UP, and
it is incumbent upon the District to do So
The books were opened at Wilmington on
the lst., and we arc favored with 1ery cheer
ing accounts thence. Now is the time to be
looking ahead, for glorious investment is
spread before you, capital must begct capital
and sums multiply sums.

me mortality bills in New York shew nei-
ther an increase or reduction; but an average
OF nifty deaths day in so large population
should create no anxiety particularly as there
is foreign emigration Of from two TO three
thousand. In referring TO the papers and
business notices; arrivals and departures,
places OF amusement open, we should infer
that very little panic prevails. There arc not
many physicians now in practise in New
York, who were familiar with the cholera of
1852, consequently every case of dysenterv
or bowel complaint is reported as cholera
Although there is large medical society in
New York, tho faculty appear to have no con.
cert OF action, they do not meet together to
compare notes ard demonstrate the most sue
ccssful mode Of treatment, every Doctor
seems to be on his own hook, il he succeeds
in curing he keeps his secret to himself and
if he fails, he says nothing about it. In the
mean time specifics Of all kinds are afloat,
every man carries camphor and laudanum in
his pocket and the first grumbling pain he
feeIs, down goes dose, and brandy and coi
lin seem to be in the ascendant. All this is
wrong. An hour or two is little enourh to
devote BY pm! scAns TO the discovery of the
best mode of preventive and cure, and to as
certain, by average, what is the best mode of
treatment and the most successful. Will
not the Physicians throughout the state think
over this subject.
NEW JoURNAL"-Two gentlemen of Balti
more, 1t is said, are about starting paper in
that city to advocate the claims of Col Benton
for the next Presidency. The great and un-
surmountable difficulty will be to discover
where those claims exist and OF what they
may consist, that herculean labor over, the
next difficulty will be to discover single
state in the Union willing to vote for him
Why David Wilmot or the Mr. Geddings, are
both stronger candidates.

murder and suicide occurred in the upper

that MIR. GEORGE DYE, on the 3lst uit.. for
causes unknown to the public, shot his wife,
who was instantly killed, aud then delbcr-

AnoLIrIoNIsM CoLoNIzATIoS read and
ponder over this, what striking example
does it present.:
The Victoria Advocate says, that family
OF negroes that had been emancpated by their
master, md settled in Cincinnati, where they
lived for several years, passed through Vic,o-
ria, Texas, few days since, on their way to
Sagine, in search ofthcir former master, who
they heard had settled in Texas. They stated
that they preferred serving their old master
and bis children to living in a Free State
among Abolitionists. This is a modest re.
buke TO those that desire to send the negroes
to Liberia.

THE OLD LOVE LETTERS. (
They were treasured up and boarded,
One by one, and day by day;
Every etter bore its record
- Ofthe hour passed away.
They were gathered there i'm hundreds
Telling still of hopes and fears
Breathing still the same deep tenderness
They breathed in other years.
Some were solid and tattered fragments,
SE&Joined with care where words were torn;
Some were crumbling into atoms,
Il by incessant readings worn.
4 There were others--fresh, but blis,ered-
Little worn, for little read;
But on them the stlffened pages
Told the tears that had beeen shed.
The ink had in places
Where llasty word was traced,
And phrase OF thoughtess bitterness
Was blotted, stepped, defaced!
Yet all precious, and all priceless,
In their Fastening decay,
Where those loved and voiceless witnesses
OF hours passed away!
