pose any rival pretender to the throne of France.
The President-King Of France is fast giving the
people Of that unfortunate country to understand
what he thinks of himself and what he thinks of
them. The suggestion that the Prince de yoinv lille
(son Of Louis Philippe) would be q candidate for
the presidency at the next election, has rather pre-
maturely, we think, caused him to make demon.
stration for which his constituents were not pr E.
pared. During his recent tours in France, though
the people seemed As much as ever attached to the
name Of Napoleon, they gave very decided indic,-
tons that they were equally attached to republican
ism, not in name but in reality. Louis NAPOLEON
was noo'ed At in many places, where he appeared;
the cries OF "long live the Republic' followed him
with derision and reproach wherever he went. At
sesancon, he and his suit were turned out of bail
room. The declaration made at Lyons, that he
will bear NO rival near the throne, has created 4.
profound sensation throughout the whole Of France
The end cannot yet be foreseen; but whatever u
may be we look for great misfortunes for Franco.

Mr. benton and the New Organ At washiux,e,.
Mr. Benton, in letter from Washington to John
smith, Of st Louis, denies that the new democrat.
&c paper to be started at Washington, Is intended
to advocate his claims to the Presidency-or to a.
ny thing else. He says il 10 to be an organ of the
party and not Of any individual.
It's very well for Mr. Benton to make this den;.
a. paper brought out under Ais auspices and
merely to support him for the Presidency would
not be very likely to succeed. II 10 very evident.
however in spite Of Mr. Benton,s denial. that he il,
20 be the candidate Of the northern, or Van Buren,
wing Of the party for the Presidency in 1862. Eve
~ preparation is being made for it. Mr. Benton
ooes not IN direct words deny it, and would ou,v
nave such denial inferred from his language
while he really does not intend il.
one other fact is also evident from this letter.:
there Is fatal feud Of enmity between the north.
ern and southern wings Of the locofoco party, All
enorts at reconciliation are utterly futile. They
may coalesce for while in order to enioy the spos
but the party is destined to be rent into fragments
wide asunder as the polls. Poor old ssfather Ritch
'e" has been long an eye-sore to Benton, and he
thus speaks Of him in his letter from Washington:
sae ~, Jackson was never more right tina. when he
warned MI Folk against bringing Richie here and fore
