On the bsby's golden hair.

And In the silent sea of death
The star of life went down.
Her latest breath was borne away
Upon that loving pr aver,
And the hand grew heavier, paler,
In the baby's golden hair.

FRENCH ATTACK ON THE
PAPAL STATES.

Dates from Paris state that the news
of the check met by the French troops
in the Papal States, has moved France
to its centre, and touched the people
upon tender point. The French Gen.
eral had marched from Civila Veccha
towards Rome, but meeting with more
seriousopposition than he expected, had
halted short distance from the city,
and was awaiting the arrival of the
remainder Of the expedition.
The Roman Assembly on the 26lh
rendered 10 the triumvirs the safety Of
the Republic, urging their forces to re-
pei the French.
Barricades were erected TO oppose
the entrance Of the French, and the
central committee protested against their
entrance, and threatened in case they
did, to blow up the Quirinal, Vatican
and ST. Peters. The Frenchman re-
piled. that his orders were imperative,
and that he would enter Rome forcibly
if necessary. He entered the city, was
received with a volley of musketry,
and missiles, and retrcatcd with loss
of 200 killed and 500 wounded.

French did not enter the city, but were

COL. BENTON-GOV. KING.

The ST Louis Union announces with
much satisfaction, that an entire una
nimity of sentiment exists between
Col. Benton and Gov. King and his
Cabinet. After announcing this fact,
it says:-"It is the first striking evil.
dence of the soundness of the political
mind of the people of Missouri, and
the first great disavowal Of JAcKsoN's
slavery resolutions. The position of
COLONEL BENTON is now favorable, SO
far as the people Of Missouri are con-
cerned, as the opininions Of Gov. KING
and his cabinet are at least equal TO
those of the Legislature, upon all mat
tiers upon which the peopis have not
positively spoken. They are equal and
coordinate branches of government,
and as they now happen to conflict
with each other, the citizens of the
State, in the mean time, remain uncom
mitted qy the views of either branch.
In this view of the case, the Jackson
Resolutions, it will be said by many,
have no longer, of course; any binding
force on Col. BENTON"
Jackson and his followers, although
they took an early start, will soon
find themselves far in the rear. 1t will
be amusing TO see them chopping round,
to get in the traces, after old Bullion
has given them sound flogging. Poor
fellows! they presume TO think for them
selves! What right have they TO
sneeze, without Col. Benton takes snuff?
They have presumed to exercise the
right: but just as they were coming
down with a good sneeze, old Bullion
gives them chuck under the chin, and
says, took no snuff!

ty, last Saturday. He was accompa-
MED from Jefferson by Gov. King; af.

Col. said he would have been very
happy to have visited Howard, but had
received no invitation from the citizens.
This, we think, was an oversight on the
part of Jackson, Lowry, and others,
for which they are censurable. 1t was
well known the Col. was at Jefferson
and that the people were anxious TO hear

more generous in those who were al
fault with him, had they invited him 10
