If the Emperor of Haiti had been a white
rascal instead of n black one, we should
not have had so sneering an allusion to his
attempt to cut n figure in imitation of paler-
faced royalty. But the color of the skin
makes all the difference. The prudent con-
duct of his sable majesty when the 'chiv-
airy of Cufieedom,' in imitation of the chi
valry of some other places, worked itself into
a war-like rage at a supposed diplomatic in
suit, is to our mind worthy of nothing but
commentator. We hope, whenever occa-
sion offers, our own Chief Magistrate will
initiate the example of the Haitien General
in this respect. He can and probably will
do many worse things than that.
But we would call particular attention t
the last paragraph of the article, for there il
much significance in those few ines. Tho
suggestion embodied in them is a diabolical
one. Ii should be borne in mind that the
scoundrels who are still congregated at
Round Island were enlisted for a fight, aud
they feel bound TO have one somewhere, and
at any cost. They are said 10 be ofiicered,
and armed to the teeth and, having been
ioiled in their designs upon Cuba, they
are ready and eager to engage in any
other adventure that may hold out To
them the prospect of lust and plunder - y,
Haiti is supposed TO be rich in gold and SIP
yer; while the island which gave birth to II
Josephine has other charms beside TO tempt
the ruthless invader TO its shores. Ii would
no doubt be a very pleasant summer after
moons amusement for these outlawed ban
ditti to make Il sudden descent upon this is
land for the purpose of pillage and lust
Perhaps we should not expect anything very
different from a band Of pirates who have
already entertained a similar design with re-
gard to Cuba. But what surprises us is, that
the Richmond Wing, n paper which has large
claims to responsibility, a paper which stands
in the foremost rank of the Southern press,
should so far forget its standing and duty as
10 suggest a scheme so diabOlical to men
who will be but too ready TO put it in execu-
ton.
But perhaps, after all, the Wing only hints
at what it already knows; the fact in this
case may have been the father 10 the thought,

From the Richmond (Vd.) Times of the Sd

FORFEITURE OF CITIzENsHIP.-Marry Ann
Richardson, alias, Mary Ann GLADDEN., the
free mullatto woman who was arraigned be-
fore the Mayors Court III the 9Th of Sept.
on the charge of having forfeited the right of
citizenship because she had voluntarily visit
ed the city of Philadelphia, i'll a non-slaye-
holding State, was yesterday again brought
before the Mayor, and required TO leave the
State within ten days, undo severe pains and
penalties. Margaret Baty joined Mary Ann
in a bond for 500, on condition that she
MARY Ann GLADDEN. should leave the State
within the space of ten days, never to return.
Here is another fact of the same. purport.
Ii is a copy of an affidavit published in the
Spmtanbwg IS. e. Spartan of the 9th ulto.
in which the trial of the defendant is given
at length:

The pfOSpeCtS.

The prospects of the democratic party were
never more hattering than at present. The
result of the elections the Southern and
Western States. held du:ing the present month
has been of the most cheering character. and
every where tho democracy have triumphed'
and Trylorism bias been repudIated by the
people.
In our own State, we every where behold
the democracy buckling on their armour and
preparing for the contest in October next.
Many of the counties have already settled their
tickets. and never did there appear to be m ore
unanimity and enthusiasm IN the ranks of the
party than at present. firm determination
exists to atone for pastIerrorf, and If possible
redeem the State for the accidents of last year
We feel satisfied that the old Keystone will
again be found In line with the democratic
States, n otwith standing the efforts of Gov.
Johnston and Gen. Taylor by perambulating

this puny effort TO man ufacture political capl-

not show their Ignorance and their malice by

AS we have before stated, we are prepared
to prove at any time that John Fenlon did put
his name down. or authorized it to be put down
on the roll of the "Cambria Guards as q vol.

The Next legislature.

The session o f the next Legislature will be
an important one, and at no time has it been
more necessary for the Democratic party in
every quarter of the Commonwealth to rally in
support of its long cherished principles and
Numerous applications will be made for the
creation of neD banks, as we'll as for the re,
chartering of old ones, and now is the time to
guard against the too great increase in the
amount of bank capital and paper circulation

the circulation of worthless paper, and the ex.

The Scheme of the Wings.

We do not complain that Gen. Taylor
has taken it into his head to visit Pennsyl-
vania; for we could wish no better adver-
tisement of his utter incapacity at the
head Of the government, than TO let him
be heard and seen of all men. But he is
accompanied by one of the most uncon-
scionable demagogues in the Union-Wm.
F. Johnston-a man who will strain every
nerve to create dissensions in the demo-
cratic ranks, and to instigate a secret
organization among the wings. The
democrats must be up and doing. They
must quiet all dissensions, and put their
shoulders to the wheel at once. We tell
our friends every where in this State that
Johnston will sacrifice much to secure a
federal majority in the next legislature, so
as to have control Of the apportionme,at
then to be made. The disputes in the
Centre, Lycoming, and Clinton senatorial
dist rict, and in Crawford county, should
be harmonized promptly in view of the
herculean though clandestine efforts of the
administration party. A word to the
wise ought to be sufficient.-Pe,m.

The reserve and tacIturnity of Washing
ton were proverbial; but as the one was
the result of diffidence and not of austerity
or pride, so the other proceeded from his
habitual prudence rather than coldness, or
want of the sensibility that inspires elo-

he meant to say to writing, and commen

which, at that period, he used only occa
sionally. He found however, that he
could not proceed without them. He
stopped, and took them out, and, as ht
