III we would suffer ourselves to be led

A STRANGE STORY.

The Buffalo Advertiser tells strange
story to the effect that the eldest son
of the unfortunate Louis XVI, who it
says, is generally believed to have died
in dungeon, shortly after the execu-
tion Of his father was brought to this
country, delivered into the hands of
the Northwestern Indians, and finally
made chief The Rev. Mr.. Porter, of
Green Bay, in writing to Rev. Mr.
Peet, makes the following renarl1:-
eve have all been surprised at develop
mentS which go on to prove that Rev.
Mr. Williams, of this vicinity is the
son of Louis XVI of France"
The Prince-d Joinville, in the fall of
1871, is said to have sought out this
chief, who has become Missionary
among the Indians, and treated him
with great attention. It is also stated
that on the return of the Prince toi
France, Louis Philippe sent to the
obscure Missionary an autograph letter, |
thanking him for his attention to his |
ION, and accompanied this letter with a
lonation) truly royal. All of which |
nay be true, but certainly is very inn
probable. s ~

UNION DEMOCRATIC MEETING

We learn thata Union Democratic
meeting was held, in Lexington last
week. Our Reporter states by dint OF
drumming and drilling, they mustered
corporaPs guard of seven, which vast
number composed the meeting. This
abortive attempt in very strong Uni
ON county, should show Gen. Foote q
his allies, the Federal wings, and
a small squad of ofice-hungering pSeu-
do Democrats, how worse than Quix-
otic madness il is to try to keep alive the
dead corpse ofthe Union party. 1t has
had its day, its mission has been ae-
complished, its race run, and the ma
gic name of%Democratic," cannot now
breathe life into its defunet body.
There is too much honesty, and patri-
otiSm in the masses of Mississippi, to
desert principles, which have secured
peace, plentyFand liberty at home and
respect abroad, merely to prop up, the
sinking fortunes of men who know no
principle but SELF and whose love of
country is bounded by aggrandizement
and promotion. 4fssb IS b,4In.8q

DEMOCRACY IN YAZoo.

Weare gratified to know that SO far
as Kazoo County iS concerned, the
Democracy are united, and stand ready
to battle for Democratic principles in
the approaching Presidential canvass
Tho Union" Democrats here regard
the question Of acquicscence in, or
resistance to the Compromise measures
as having been settled by the proper
tribunal the people in the late
elections, and do not desire to run the
risk Of throwing the vote Of Miss'i in
favor of the nominee of the National
Whig Convention, by keeping up the
division which lately existed in our
ranks. They look with contempt up
on the abortive effort of few aspiring
men at Jackson, members of the Con-
yention. to foster dissensionS that might
prove fatal to the party in this State
We saw abortive, because we know
many intelligent and leading men OF
the Whig party who look upon the call
for ! Convention of Union men, by the
Union Democrats at Jackson as sinsult-
ling to the Wing party. They say they
are Wings from principle, and they are
not willing to sacrifice principles and
support the nominee Of the Baltimore
Convention in preference to the
nominee of their own party, to satisfy
few hungry office-seekels who may
meet at Jackson and send delegates to
the National Democratic Convention
If Fillmore should receive the nomina-
tion for the Presidency, he will be
warmly suppoated by the honest por-
ton Of the Federal Whig party, in this
State. We are certain the candidates
of both parties will be Compromise
men. What position will parties as
sumo in that event! Most undoubtedly
they will fight the battle upon the old
issues. If the Wings should think
proper to strike their colorS and come
over to the support of-our candidates
upon the grounds that the old issues
have been settled by time" we shall
not object

No more! Oh! what unuttered grief
Dwells in those chill prophetic

The tomb of every warm belief t
They strike upon the hearts deep

The shadow from some mystic shore,
Where jewels flash, where roses gleam
We hear the wailing sound--No

No more. The summer founts may
throw M
Their silVery music on the air;
The sunset lends its opal glow
To skies that seemed before so fair;
And such flood ofl.quid light
May rest on mount and sea, and
shore,
And bathed old Ida's classic height
Yet some loud voice shall say-No
more!
No more! Throughout the boundless
earth Eal.r.
They bend with Hopes fallacious
dream;
They echo through the haunts Of
mirth; f#
a whisper of the Past they seem.
Who hath not heard mid light and
song,
Mid pageantry, and pride and pow
er,
Those spirit-yoices round him throng
That mock the glittering festal hour?
The heart is but a wasting mine,
An altar for some idol kept,
Till DER its Gesccrated shrine
The storm gust hath too rudely
swept;
4 pedestal 700 widely placed,
Flooded by every passing wave,
vows too soon eifdced-
a temple reared upon the grave!
The pest worm feeds upon the rose,
The violet bears no deathlesS bloom;
What TINS our morning skies dis
close
What darkness fingers round the
tomb!
What memories of buried love;
What earnest tones forever fled;
What yearningS for the worlds
above,
What lonely vigils with the dead
Our dead Can such voice arise
In rebel grief upon the air!
The hosts that fill tn eternal skies,
What can they know Of woe or
cpre?
Dur dead! Oh! who shall say, sour
dead!"
Released from this dark charneI
shore,
Hath not tn immortal spirit fled,
To live when time shall be no

We clip the following we'll timed
aemarks from one of our exchanges
edited by Union Democrat. 1t will
be seen that he is unwilling to hazard
the success Of the Democratic party by
trying to keep up a division upon 4
question that is settled. We commend
the article ia the the perusal of the
Union Democrats generally;
TO UNION DEMOCRATS.
Because We voted for the preserva-
tion of the Union are we now to unite
with the wings in establishing that con-
Servativc policy which they SO much
admire? Why the Flag of the Union
says th0t we should move on in unity
and that the party is highly conserva-
tive and opposed to all kind of radical
iSna." Perhaps the Flag man properly
expresses his own as well as the opin-
ions of many of his whig coadjutors.
Such opinions they have right to
entertain and publish for the benefit of
all. But have they a right to miSrep-
resent the doctrines of others? Have
they a right to produce an @mage Of
the old beast that was slain" and de-
clare that it has become God to those
Democrats who voted for the Union?
What! Because we fought side by side
to keep from desecration the glorious
Temple of our Liberty, 20 they think
that we have embibed any OF that
retrogressive spirit which some of their
statesmen may deem to be wisdom?
Why we look to the Past as we'll as they.
We look to Improve on the acts which
we find embodied in its History, but |
they TO initiate them as models How
then can they expect us to unite in the
prosecution of measures when in the /
end we aim at so widely differ?
What Can they suppose that we will /
forsake our beautiful Pantheon to wor-
ship in their rude moss-covered Gothic
Temples? Why the conservatism of
which they boast would have kept us
from the acquisition of Louisiana.
Had we been guided by it Texas would
have remained hnnting-ground of
the Indians silent dwelling place for
the wolf and tiger-cat Had we listen
ed to the delusive song under whose
control would now have been the sun
ny glades and the orange groves Of
Florida? Like Cuba it would have
been the land in which bigoted inSo-
ence would have played her wanton !.
ricks and would have insulted Human !
ty by legaliZed murder. Why all the ;
greatness and glory we have won has !,
,een by daring to move 'sonwardo Is
America admired and feared by the :
of Europe? II SO what :

t which these nations are SO astonish- !,

and croaking conservatism
