WHcHr N QraNDsRv.-We understand that
the leading Democrats Of Putnam county have
determind not to support Mr.. Wright unless he
comes out boldly in favor Of the on-inte rfercnce
dctrine in relation to slavery extension, as laid
down a, Baltimore. Tney contend that tina, is
the true Democratic ground, and are opposed to
ceserting it. Joseph has been advised az to the ir
opinions. and does not know what to do. Should
he now take back all the speeches he made in
support of the Baltimore platform, and come ou,
on Wing ground. he will lose the support of the
true Dsmocrats-and the opposite course would

But the punishment which is the most ef-

one Of the most distinguished characters

or. This from the earliest time was a
specified effective punishment in the
criminal law Of Norway. standing next
in degree to the loss Of life. The loss Of
honor is not regarded by this people as
an unmeaning and trivial punishment. as
it would be by thcpoor ignorant classes
Of society among almost every nation; but
il il is viewed with dread, as terrible
visitation. Many Offices and trusts, as
committees for various purposes. valua-
tors, arbitOrs, or jurymen, to say nothing
of more dignificd situations, devolve on
the people under the superintendance Of
the legal authorities. The exclusion
from these affairs and functions, which of

AsslBEL LEE.

It was many and many year ago,
In o kingdom by the sen,
That maiden there lived whom you may know,
Ny the name OF Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
Twas "a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea,
But we loved with love that was more than love-
and my AnnEbel Lee
With 4 love that the winged sceaphs Of heaven
Coveted her aud me.
And this as the reason that long ago,
In this kingdom BY the sea,
wind bic " out Of cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her high-born kinsmsn cane
= And bore her away from me,
10 shut her up in q sepulchre
In this kingdom BY the sea.
The angels, not half 50 happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me-
Yes!-that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by he seal
That the wind came out OF the cloud by night,
Chilling aud killing my Annabsl Lee.
But our love was stronger by far than the love
Ofthose no were older than we
Of many far wiser than
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can eyer discover my soul from the soul
u the beautiful Annabcl Lee.
For the moon never beams, without bringing me
dreams
Oft beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise, but feel the bright eyes
And 20, all the night.tide, lie down by the side
vi my darliBg-my darling--my life and my bride,
in her sepulchre there by the sea-
Ia her tomb by tac sounding sea.

Puerto Principe, or at least an effort is to be made
to extend it.

Venezuela, by way of St. Thomas, but it is not so
late as we have already taken from Northern pa.
pers. President Monagas, and Vice President
Guzman have both resigned their Offices. The
for this is not known, but it is thought to be
induced by the bankrupt condition of the treasury,
the impossibility of effecting loans, the hostility
displayed to the administration by those who were
its friends, and other difficulties
We can find no local news of interest in our pa

The INTERVENTION IN THE NATIONAL As,
sEMBLY-The late events at Rome have given
rise to violent debates in the National Assembly.
In the session of the Eth May; ~ Jules Favre re-
preached the government with not having carried
gus toe mention of the Assembly as to the expe.
dition in Italy. He called for q commission to
make report on the conduct of the ministry. The
debates were violent; but the committee was ap-
pointed, and reported at an evening session.
The chairman of the committee, NJ. Senard,
after having blamed the direction given by the
government to the expedition to Civta Vecchia-
after having recalled the fact that when the credit
for ZOO 900 francs was under discussion, the min.
lister stated that the intention of the government,
was not to assist in the overthrow of the Roman
Republic, proposed the following resolution, which
was carried by vote of 1928 to 24I,
Tho National Assembly invites the Government to take
without delay the measnes necessary for preventing the
saPsd'a to Italy from being turned ti0m the end assigned
The next day the letter of Louis Bonaparte was
published. The National Assembly perceived in
this letter usurpeton of power. The President
has no right to promise succor to the army without
the consent of the Assembly. NJ. Flocon offered
resolution to the effect that the letter of the Pres.
ident Of the Republic is null and of noeffect. We
do not yet know the result of the discussion on
Fiocon's resolution.
