THE NEW PREsIDENT.-If we did not al.
ready feel a sincere and profound attachment
for republican principles, the sight we have
lately witnessed would be sufficient TO inspire
it. A President dies; the national sorrow is
great, because the man who was Chief Mag
istrate had rendered himself dear to all his
fellow-citizeDs by his services and his vir-
tues. No one, however, dreams Of profiting
by this loss and the CONSERVATION which fol-
lows it to create troubles, or to favor the de-
signs of the ambitious. The Vice President
simply takes the place of the deceased. The
constitution has thus fixed it. The people
know no other law than this sacred charter,
and every one submits to it without a mur-
mur, without regret, without a harsh thought.
And what an admirable simplicity presides
at the Inauguration Of the new magistrate !!
A man who neither wears uniform or order
who is clothed like the plainest citizen, a
man who has neither suite nor staff, and
who is unaccompanied save by two citizens,
presents himself before the representatives
Of the nation, who are sitting as usual in their
hall, which is not even decorated for the oc-
casion. This man advances to the desk of
the Secretary, swears upon the Bible to sup
port the constitution of the United States,
then retires, and all is over This man is in
vested with the presidency Of the Union; to-
his care is entrusted for the future the des-
tinies of nation which is the equal of the
most powerful, and which points out to them
all the road to constitutional freedom. "The
sceptre of the people" says justly one of our
"passes into his hands as
as though it were a simple man
~f
Il is great, happy country where the
Of power is done with this calm
ness and simplicity; where the execution
Of the law is not obstructed by even the
shadow of an obstacle.

TRUTH STRANGER THAN FICTION.

The Pennsylvania correspondent Of the st.
Louis Republican, May ID, relates the follow
ing occurrence:
4 young man recently made his escape from
the galleys at Tolouse. He was strong and
vigorous, and soon made his way across the
country and escaped pursuit He arrived the
next morning before "A cottage in an open field,
and stopped to beg something to eat and con-
cealment while he rcposed a little. But he
found the inmates of the cottage in the greatest
distress. Four little children sat trembling in
a corner their mother was weeping and tear
ing her hair and the father walking the floor in
agony. The galley slave asked what was the
matter, and the father replied that they were
that morning to be turned OUT Of doors because
they could not pay the rent. "You see me
driven in despair said the father; my wife and
little children without food or shelter, and |
without the means to provide for them" The
convict listened to this tale with tears ofsympa.

The Review endorses Mr.. Dickinson's views on
the so called Compromise bill, whicH3dose we re-

Sarsaparilla of old DR.. Jacob Townsend, or as
the prescriber and his consultation supposed it
would be.
We find the word "Southern Ultraism," in this

democratic, whig, free-so and every other sort Of
editor, that true SOUTHERN ULTRAIsM," or SoUTn-
ERN TREASON" as lately defined by old Mr.. Clay,
is fast becoming universal at the South, as the
apont of honor"-not confined, as some Northern
nationalists vainly imagine, to the fanatics and
zealots"-or excited in the minds of the people
by artful demagogues, cor the appeals of crafty
and venal aspirants to dstinction"-but the free,
united, will of the uncontrolled, unterr6ed de-
mocracy-those who have "bitherto cherished
with fond and earnest devotion, that great bond
of Union," and who are yet willing to do so, if
they can, consistently with their own rights and
honor 1t is the voice of the people
"a bold pcasantry their country's pride,
Which if destroyed can never be supplied"
The Review has heretofore spent its fury upon
such ultra aboltonists as Seward and his faction,
leaving the question until now, untouched, in the
shape of the California admission, "Compromi-

whether or not the Report of the Committee of ls
met with favorable response from that quarter.
Mr.. Dickinson playing considerable part in that

Nationality of the Review could discover no just
cause for Southern Convention. This was not
to be expected. A paper may profess to be this

diced from the connection and force of circum-
stances. How can we expect Northern Press
