aTbe city Of Toulouse has lately been the
scene Of new proof Of the Infamous character
Of Louis Napoleon. NJ. Maupas having been
named prefet Of that city, received Instructions
80 to act in his office az to arrive at a motive for
putting Toulouse in a state Of siege. NJ Man
pas, having arrived in that city, soon effected bis
purpose, and in a short time thirty Of the most
respectable citizens were put under arrest, with
out any sort ofproof against them. a search
was instituted into the houses Of the arrested
parties, ard in the course Of this proceeding the
police were required 10 introduce a quantity Of
powder and grenades, which were afterwards
alleged TO have been found on the premises. De-

parties 10 il, and at the same time despatched a
memorial to the President demanding the arrest

W We are becoming very uneasy about
the editor of the Washington Union, and are
afraid we shall have to read him out of the party
The evidence of coalition between the Union
and Republic is thickening upon us. The Re
public has been haunting the Democratic party,
lately, about its divisions, and the Union has been
complaining of the came thing. The Republic
defes the Democratic delegation tocunte in
any one measure. The Union has been very
anxious for 1t to unite in one measure, viz the
resolution giving it the census job. And if both
are interested in secret contract to divide the
profits, what artifce is deeper than for the one
to insist on its passage, and the other to deride
the party for not passing it?
There are other symptoms The Union is
now suspected of having its favorte candidate
for the Presidency. Is it part of the game for
the Republic to expose the weak points in the
history of other prominent candidates, rs was
done yesterday? We can tell Congress that
many fat job has been obtained of the two
Houses for both the organs, by coalition Of
the favored friends of each, when the majority
party proper could not quite take the response
blity. II must have been seen that both these
organs have lately been blowing together very
tremendously for the inality of the Compromise.
Is it the hope that coalition of the finality
Compromise men of both parties in Congress
can be formed to accommodate both organs!
BY the way, as the Union dwels so much on
the fnality of the Compromise, would it be ask
ing anything incompatible with the public service
for it 10 tell us whether it goes for the fnalty
with the descriptive proviso of the Georgia plat
form? Or, is the Southern Democracy required
to climb down under that platform-after hav-
ing climbed SO high above it!
DIR. FIrcH has introduced fnalty resolution
in the House, without any descriptive proviso-
or any other proviso. The intention of Dr.
FITCH is no doubt good, but will he tell us what
is to be done in case the fnality should not be

shall hear il, that the fnality of the Compromise
is Southern ultraism. II will be called dis

Nor will grateful nation e'er forget
Thy services, brave. generous Lafayette.
Nor those Of Scanned. Lincoln, Knox, and Green,

Leaving their homes and l'eriling their all,
