TIE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

lnFrance, besides conspiracies which spring up
like mushrooms, the question as to the revision
of the constitution and the canddateship for the
Presidency e as far from being settled as ever.
The family of Louis Philippe will neither give
their affirmative nor negative to the plan for
bringing the Prince de Joinviilc forward.
The schisms that divide parties are rore nu-
merous and more distinct than ever. The
Elysan organs-the Patre and the Bulletin de
Paris-are energetic in denying the authority
Of DR.. Veron-that devoted servant of the
Elysee-to attack the law of May 81. In spite
of this, people remember that the initiative of
that law was taken by Il parliamentary com
mittee; that no word of the President has ever
co emitted himself personally to its maintenance;
that it has all along heen taken for granted that
the repeal Of that law might be last card re-
naming in his hand, whioil might gain him i'm
uiensc popul rity, and that the pledges OF NM.
Barocho and Faucher, which stood in the way,
may be easily disposed of, by sacrificing those
ministers. Nj. Per,gny is The leader of that
fraction of the Elysee who, Think Y absolute
universal suffrage the best weapon with which
Louis Napoleon can combat the Prince de Join.
Vile, are favorable TO Dr. Verons views. Here
is the Elysean schism. Then, among what are
called the conservatives, il is probable that NJ.
Chambolle, Of the Ordre, and all the followers
of that paper who voted for revision in the last
debate, will vote against it in November.
The icgitinists continue to be divided. The
Opinion PubLique, Gazette de France, and Chr
saire, declare open war upon The Elysee, and
thwart the whole policy of the Berryer party,
represented by the Union. The democratic
party have not yet agreed upon their candidate.
And thus matters stand at present.

sY The Massachusetts Free soil convention
which met at Worceste. on the 18th inst, aud
contained large delegation from the whole
State, adopted the following, among other reso,
lutions: @
ResoIred, That the Frec-soi party is pre-emi.
nently the PARTY of the Constitution and of the
Union, of law and Of order, Of freedom and Of
progress; that il is opposed in principles and
aims to sectionalism secession, and disunion, and
knows no North, no South, no Fast, no West
but embraces with equal patriotic love the coun-
try. the whole country, one and indivisibe.
Resolped, That we call upon all good citizens,
in the words Of Charles Sumner, "whiIc serv-
ing the Union Loyalty in the spirit of the fathers
never to forget those true principles of the Con-
stitution according to which freedom, and not
slavery, is national, while slavery, and not free
dom, is sectional"
RESOLVED, That liberty is the inherent and in
aGenable birthright of every human being, OF
whatever cline, color, or condition, and that the
protection of this birthright is one of the first
and highest duties of government.
Resolred, That Congress has no more power
to establish slavery than to establish monarchy
do more power to make slave than to make
king.
Resolped, That the firm establishment of the
national policy which We proclaim-no slarer,
under the federal government; no more Stare
States-would arrest at once the aggressions O
the slave power, give repose to our country, anG
secure the stability of the Union.

DEATH AT THE RAILROAD STATIos.-A coro-

of connecting with the passenger cars, the de.

OF the baggage car. lie succeeded in grasping
the railing, and apparently, placed one foot on
the steps, when he slipped and was dragged be-
tween the cars. Three wheels had passed over
him, and the fourth was resting on his body
when, an alarm being given, the ears were
stopped; and t!is was effected as soon as
possible. ...
The jury believe that he thus came TO his
death, and that no blame is attributable TO any
one connected with the ears. The man was cut
nearly in two, and one leg entirely separated
from his body. Even several articles Of hard
ware, such as chsels in his pockets, were broken
into fragments. II was given in evidence that
he was a steady and industrious man, had q
family, was u miller and blacksmith, and had
been on visit TO the city to make purchases

The authorities of this district and Of the
State of Maryland, appear to have quietly ac-
quiesced in the enlargement of CHAPLIs, the in
dividua arrested last r,and put under bonds to
answer the charge of stealing negroes, and at
tempting TO commit murder. This man is re-
ported in the papers, as presiding at this time
over political convention assembled at Buf'
falo, New York II has been said that his re-
cognizance in Maryland, has been forfeited, and
the amount duly paid into the treasury OF that
State. Is the governor thus acquitted OF all
further obligation in this case ls he at liberty
to compound for a felony by granting impunity
to crime ia consideration Of peeuuiary deposits
in the public Golfers!
II does not'appear that either the governor Of
MARYLAND, or the President Of the United States
has made any demand on the governor of New
York, for the delivery Of this fugitive. IL il
feared by these officers that snch claim would
be disregarded, and would only manifest TO
Southern communities the insnlts with which
their constitutional rights, are decided by the
triumphant and rejoicing mob, who have con-
yertcd the federal government, into one of un.
bridled power! The President may fear that
such demand would incense and ALLEVIATE his
large constituencies in the Northern States, and
prevent the personal advantage which himself
or friends may hope from the favor Of an ap-
proving majority. But what considerations can
make the governor Of Maryland laggard in
vindicating the laws of his State! Can he
CoBB-like, aim at federal honors, or is he a CON-
promiser. fearful Of exposing to the people, the
annihilation of the constitutional rights of a
slave State!
