Night--darker night--0n Europe falls;
The painting millions strive nc more;
The Cpssach revels in her halls,
And 1uaffs the wine cup, stained with gore.
The gathering storms Of suffering years
In one fierce Handicapped depart;
While the red reaper gathers tears,
And binds tae independent heart.
The struggles o'er--the voice is gone;
The bones that moved are bones again;
The numerous yeIl is onward borne,
And famine stalks DER fields of slain.
While in the dust the hopeless sigh,
And Virtue bleeds in WAR's embrace,
The dead upon their banners lie,
And smiles Of glory light each face.
Old crumbling thrones arise again,
With deeper woes and deadlier hate;
The iron hand makes bare the chain,
And bids the dungeons hinges CRATE.
Free thoughts now tester in the mind,
And generous souls forget to give;
While palsied hosts to fate resigned,
Kiss he red robbers hand to live.
Oh God when will the people rise
And walk erect in proud attire,
While calm contentment lights the skies,
And pales disunion's lurid fire?
When princely word shall weigh no more
Than plebeian speech, though homely said,
And mind shall with the eagle soar,
And matter kennel with the dead

The First Lord of the Treasury,
the Ri. Hon. Lord John Russell, is
the youngest son of the sixth Duke
of Bedford. He is the author of
well-written memoir of his distin-.
guished ancestor, Lord William Rus
sell. From 1850 till 1884 lie WIS
payinaster Of the forces. In 1899 !,
he was appointed Secretary of State
for the Colonies. He was formerly
a conditional supporter Of the ballot.
Lord John is about fifty-seven years
of age, and his onerous duties have
evidently impaired his health. He
is small in stature, has an amiable
expression Of countenance, and is a
pleasing speaker.
Sir Robert Peel, Baronet, was born
in 1888. His father, by his sagacity
and perseverance, amassed great
wealtii, and rose from an humble
station to tie rank of Baronet. He
was educated at the Harrow
school, where he was the formfellow
of Byron. He entered Christ Church,
Oxford, where he took a double first
class degree in 1908. The following
year he was returned to Parliament
for the borough of Cashel. He sat
for Oxford University from 1918 to
1928, when he was thrown out by
Sir Robert H. Inglis, who still rep
resents that learned corporation
He then sat for Westbury, till 1880,
wuen he was elected for Tamworth,
which he has since continued to rep
resent. He was first Lord of the
Treasury from lS4l to 1916. In 1897,
he was elected Lord Rector of Glas-
gov University. Three score years
have somewhat thinned Sir Roberts
hair, but his mental and physical
powers are vigorous. His speeches
evince abundant traces of thought
and eloquence, and his varied and
accurate information, lucid state
ments, and great huency in speaking,
render him an able debater.
Joseph Humen, Esq, F. r. S. and
F. r. A. S., is a Radical Reformer.
During long Parliamentary career,
he has been distinguished for his
watchfulness over the ma
tional estimates, and his unsparing
of the extravagant ex-
penditures. Mr.. Hume was educa-
ted for the medical profession, and
proceeded to India in the capacity
of surgeon. He was soon employed
in that country in the various off ces
Of Persian interpreter, paymaster,
SC, discharging his duties with so
much fidelity, that he obtained the
public thanks of Lord Lake. He
returned to Scotland, his native
in 1908, and afterwards
travelled in Spain, Greece, Turkey,
Egypt, &c. He was returned for
Weymouth in 1911, and since that
time, with the exception of one or
two years, has been member of the
House of Commons. He now repre-
sents Montrose, his native district.
IIe is member of the College Of
Surgeons in Edinburgh and London,
Vice President of the Society of Arts,
&c. Mr.. Hume is early in the
House, and always at his post, when

Is Andrew Stewart, the person.
iication of Whiggery, has actually
come out in favor of the Democratic
Sub-Treasury, which he has hither-
to uniformly and strongly opposed.
As he is amongst the strongest Wigs
in the country, and was an applicant
for Secretary of the Treasury, his
conversion to the principles of the
Independent Treasury may be con-
sidered wonderful change of opin-
ion. The Waynes5urg Pa.) Mes
senger is our authority, from which
print we quote the following account
of Mr.. Stewards speech, delivered
in Greene county, in that state. If
this is the way the prominent Wings
define their position, we democrats
will shortly be compelled to get up
some new issues, otherwise the
Wings will crowd us off our own
platform. The paper referred to
above remarks thus:
The honorable gentleman rose to
bis feet, and after much hemming
and having, declared that be did not
hnoac ,chct to say-he I'D not hn0'c
achere to begin. After a confusion
and laundering that seemed perfect
ly agonizing to himself and hearers,
the speaker made out to declare that
he was a ''no party man." and that
he was in favar of some of the great
measures belonging to both parsies.
But he took his Wing friends all
aback by declaring that he acas IN
nror of an independent Treasury
one of the favorite measurer of
the Democratic party-that it was a
good measure, and the only one that
could make the public moneys secure
that the state banks would not
answer the purpose-and a National
Bank was unnecessary and uncon-
stitutional. Mr.. Stewart even de-
clared that he ,Oas Arrays in .fauor
cfMe Independent Treas9ry,and, as
if fearing that his hearers would not
credit this part of his declarations,
he attested it with his old stereotype
ed affirmation of $50 help me God!'

Letter.

Tie following is the letter from
the French Minister, on receiving
which the President resolved to sub.
nit the entire correspondence to tie
French government, and suspend all
communication with NJ. Poussin:
LEGATION OF FRaFcE, ,
WAsHrSeTos, May 80, ls49
Sir,-I received On the est May
the note which you did me tie honor
to address to ltse on the same day in
answer to mine calling upon -tae
Government Of the United States to
disavow the conduct Of Commander
Carpenter of the American steam
ship Iris, towards the French ship
Engenie of Havre, which had run
upon the bank Of Rise, near the an
chorage Of Anton Lizardo. The ex-
plantations given by Commander Car
penter are not, of nature, Mr.. Sec
rotary of State, to dispel the discon-
tent which his proceedings caused
to my Government. He considered,
as he says, and still considers, that
the case was one of salvage and that
the rights acquired by rim as the
salvor of the vessel saved, empow-
cred him to keep possession of her,
until his eXtraragant pretentions
were fully satisfied; but his opinions
have little interest in our eyes, when
we have occasion to condemn his
conduct. | called on the Cabinet at
Washington, Mr.. Secretary of State,
in the name of the French Govern
ment, to address severe reproof to
that officer Of the American Navy,
in order that the errer which he has
committed, in a point involving the
dignity of our National Marine, might
not be repeated hereafter. From
your answer, Mr.. Secretary of State,
l am unfortunately induced to believe
that your Government subscribe to
the strange doctrine professed by
Commander Carpenter, and | have
only to protest in the name of my
Government against these doctrines.
| have the honor to be, with dis
tinguished consideration,
Your most otdt. servant.

The following is.the letter Of Hon.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE, J
WAsHINGron, Sept. Is, lS49,
SIR:-The President has devolved
on me the duty of announcing to you
that the Government of the U. S.
will hold no farther correspondence
with you as a Minister of France;
and that the necessity which has
compelled Lin to take this step at the
present moment has been made
known to the u. S. For in comnuni-
eating the Presidents discrimination
to yourself personally, avail myself
personally, avail myself of the oc-
casion to add, that due attention viii
cheerfuliy be given to any commu-
nication of France. After knowing
tie interest of our respective Repnb-
lies, which may reach the Depart
ments through any other channel,
your Government will be able to
explain to you the reasons which in
fuenced tie American Executive in
delaying the present communication
until this period.
The President has instructed me
farther to say, that any proper facil-
ity for quitting the U. S. will be
promptly given at any monet which
you may be pleased to signify that it
is your desire to return to France.
| am, sir very respectfully,
Your obedient ser, ant,

We clip the fallowing from an ar
ticle on Cuba Ind Canada, in the
September numEer Of the .Nineteenth
Century:
When the while North American
continent is ruletl by one congress,
and sea linked with sea through the
severed isthmus, all, all under the
undisputed swayof our eagle, the
satiated people will declare against
any fart er dilutien Of the compare
tive rank and cove quence Of the in
dividuaf States. They would not
have them too numerous to be felt
singly. This argument has not yet
occurred to the anti-anexionists,
and at present it would be thrown
away; but in the ripeness Of time it
will be conclusive and victorious
against further division of sover-
eighty.
When our ocean boundaries are
complete on every side; when no
other nation presses against our line,
and forts and standing armies have
faded from our system; when the
Mexican Gulf is encircled by our
territory alone, and Cuba, the clos
ing gem in his imperial ring, nobly
bars It's entrance to every foe, and
holds faithful watch and ward over
this our own exclusive inland sea.
with all its two thousand miles Of
coast and harbor--tEe outlet of
twelve thousand miles Of internal
navigation and is herself the centre
and crossing-point of our newborn
monopoly of the trade beyond the
Pacific; when the continents are
rent asunder to make channel for
the revolutionizcd commerce Of the
orient to pour its inexhaustible wealth
into our Golfers; when our self-pro-
tecting steam marine shall ride SUI
preme on the welded oceans, indie
pendent of our extinct CIRCULAR
navy" too great and too just to fear
or make aggressions; when the in
sane and fratricidal strife of sections
shall have yielding to defined prin
ciples, founded an broader filial
love for the Union, and deeper
respect for the obligations of the fed
eral compact; then the march of an
ncxation will be stayed for it will
have reachedtfe dividing line of the
continents, and our flag will reign
over the union of the oceans.
When we have attained all this,
and with it the unquestioned attitude
of the first nation of the earth, then,
and not before, the people will be
prepared to say, we have satisfac-
tory boundaries and sufficient do
main, and henceforth we will refuse
to divide and weaken the individual
force and dignity of our States
Among SO many partners in the SOW
ereignty, a single member becomes
too inconsiderable." At this point
annexation will cast anchor, On what
she considers the natural bounds OF
her Inheritance; but she will not
pause, or be turned from her course,
until she accomplishes her destiny.
