/
The Paris correspondent of the New Yorl
Commercial, says:
A natural inquiry among Americans wil3 be
has he said anything which interests us par.
ticularly? The first passage of this kind is
the following:
"Another Law has granted to private enter.
prise the mail steamers of the Mediterranean
It is desirable that similar concession should
permit the extension ofeur commercial relations
and those of correspondence, to the countries
beyond the Atlantic. And Administration is
occupied with these questions, end is studying
the means of solving them"
All the French manufacturers who trad G
with the United States have an interest in Z
speedy solution. for their correspondence is now
taxed at the rate of about thirty cents the quar-
ter ounce: letter from America, being COM
monty written on thick paper, weighs a few
grains more and is taxed double postage, or
sixty cents. Extra postage to an enormous a.
mount is thus paid annually to the French and
English governments.-Thc postage is less by
the lines from Havre, but these do not send
weekly steamers
The second alusion is as follows:
1--WE have embraced, with slacrity, the occa-
sion of giving 20 Spain proof Of the sincerity
of our relations, in associating ourselves with
England to offer to the Madrid Cabinet the CO.
operation of our naval forces, in order to re-
pulse the audacious attempt against the island
of Cuba Besides our Minister at Washington
has been charged to sustain, in friendly way
the claims of the court of Madrid, claims whole
justice has been Loyalty recognised by tht
Federal government"
If the President had added that cores
pondence is nov going on between his Cabi
net and tn "Federal Government" aforesaid
on the above subject, and that that corresPon-
deuce, though couched in the most polite dip
lomatic phraseology contains some disagreeable
things on both sides, he would have been near
er the mark. At least member of the As
sembly, whom have reason to think perfect
~ informed, tells me So He adds fnrtheI
that the structures of the French government
bear principally on the inability of the United
States to repress the formation Of armed bands
in their territory, for the attack of other coun-
tries.
The third and last passage refers to an old
affair:
"The claims which large number of French
merchants and ship owners have to prosecute
against the Government of the United States
on account of arbitrary seizure by the custom
houses of California have not been iqnidated
and paid; but the American Congress ana
Washington Cabinet have formally recognized
their Justice, and we shall soon obtain Iegltl-
mate satisfaction"

Sixty nine years ago, the 4th inst, party
Of adventurers from the Eastern States, after
long and tedious journey descended the
Ohio river and encamped upon the spot where
Newport Barracks now stands. They there
separated for their several stations in Ken
lucky and turned their steps through the
wilderness. first pledging each other, in 4
spirit that may be termed as prophetically ro-
mantle, to meet upon the same spot, or such
Of them as might survive, in fifty gears from
that day This agreement was made on the
4th day of Nov. 1882.
In the year 1882, on the 4th day of Nov,
precisely City years after the time Of agree
men,. four of the old band met upon tae spot
to fulfil their promised One of them was over
ninety years of age; the rest we're under
three score and ten. After remaining few
days. they turned their steps homeward-not
through wilderness, as they did half hun
,lred years before, but through scenes Of busy
life, and the hum Of OF industrial millions; nor
did they promise another meeting, as that was
an event liked by higher will; and il has Ia
ken placei-they are all dead!

ing, systematic efforts Of men high in position
and having the ear Of the public to shake the
confidence Of the people in the sacred charac-
ter and obligatory force of the Federal Con-
stitution, and in their unwearied efforts to inn
press the whole powerof our political organi-
cations into crusade against domestic slavery.
We allude, too, TO the systematic agitation Of
questions now settled by law, and the express
sed determination to make the repeal of gov
ernmental action upon questions connected
with slavery the controlling element in the
next Presidential canvass
Are not these among the fact sof the times ?
Are not these sentiments daily promulgated
by some of the most influential and widely cir
culated journals Of the country? Have not
sections Of both Of the leading parties of the
north lost sight Of the principles upon which
they were organized, and turned mere propa-
gandists of anti slavery sentiment? And un-
der these teachings. are there not multitudes
who stand ready to leap the chasm of disunion
rather than be governed by the spirit which
framed the compact they are now taught is
attrocious,' and which saved US from disrup-
ton. in the contest of ls2o-2I. There is moth
ing in all these features of northern politics
which have not their counter part at the
South. The madmen of South Carolina and
Massachusetts meet on the one extreme-the
desire to cancel the 'atrocious bargain
Is this the true position of affairs, and to
what does il tend Is there profit or hope in
it, to the colored race of our country? Is
there advantage in it to ourselves as individual
States. or as united government? Is there
any thing in it all, which, in view Of humanity,
Of social progress. or of national happiness or
honor, commends these features of the times j?
We are gratified to sec an increasing pub
lie sentiment in favor of sustaining the laws of
the country as they exist. AS the excitement
wears away, and the impassioned and inHsm-
ed minds of men become quieted, and reason
is permitted TO resume her throne, the wise
course that Congress has pursued, becomes
apparent, and what at FIRST seemed ill-timed
and ill-advised, is looked upon as the only
plan that could have been adopted with safe,
y to the existence of the Republic. God
grant that nothing may arise to disturb The
quiet and repose that is now spreading over
our beloved country.
