The following additional details OF the trouble be-
tween France and Switzerland, haze come to my
knowledge from sources tho authority Of which
not be questioned. Austria is Mt the bottom Of the
whole affair, ind il is to the initiative taken by that
power on the question Of the refugees that must be
attributed the gravity of the present state of things
After the corp d'6iat of the ID December, The MS

her States. Prussia, which had been solicited 10
join in this demand, refused positively 10 have any
thing TO say To il.
Without questioning the egitnGcy OF such step.
tie french government replied that it should first
attempt coLcaory measures; tVa TO that effect it
would address an nAtDiotpm to Switzerland relative
to the refugees, and, in Of non compliance on
the part OF the Federal Diet, France would not OPP

letter. Il was presented by the French envoy. and
peremptorily demanded the expulsion Of certain

independence of the nation, II follows that

declaring that the measures recently adopted by the
Federal Council offer TO Austria and other States II
sufficient guarantee for tranquility; but viii France
withdraw her ultmatum, and DO satisfied with con-
Jtons less preiudical to the honor of Switzerland.
This is still to be seen; but the contcmptuous Ian
guage held by the legations Of France and Austria
here speaks but too plainly OF what sympathy they
entertain for the federal institutions, and tcstihes
clearly enough in what spirit they report events hero

ebration It lranistcn, Of the marriage
Of Barnums eldest daughter, the house
took fire and burnt furiously for while,
but was finally c, tinguished by the use
Of two of Phillips Patent Fire Annihi-

prised if this was trick of the arch
Snowman to puff these fire machines, in
which it is known he is interested to a
very large amount. This fire annihi-

only one in which, to use a common
phraze, he can be said to have burnt
his fingers.

ful Campaign Of '52. We congratulate our
fellow-citizens, and the community atlarge,
that the cause of personal hatred, and fam :
lily disturbance is at an end Thanks to
old Father time for this new evidence Of
Lis kindness towards us. To-day he re-
moves from our sight forever; Campaign
songs, and Campaign lies, and Campaign
papers, to say nothing Of the painful excite
ment with which we have had to bear,
from having to listen to infaming speeches
with which many orators would set the
world on fire in order to pifer livelihood
from the ashes. We tremble for the fu-
ture when we look about US, and see the
depravity and immortality of public men
that come in, and 60 out, after every Presi-
dental election. And we ask ourselves
the question, where are the honest hearts,
and faithful hands to come from that will
undertake from patriotism alone to build up
the beautiful fabric of our republican ins:i-
tutions when they are once torn down ?
We look about the nation in vain for such d
band as assembled in the cradle of liberty
and proclaimed "all men free and equal" y
True it is that we now have many orators
to mount the stump sid declare themselves
true patriots actuated by the purest and
most disenterested love for the glorio us
republic that has PERMITTED them to grow
up in the boldness that freedom inspires -
But what are themotives that actuate thema
Is 1t not in nine cases out of ten the desire
for office and Office fees, that prompts them?
Answer the question gentle reader from
your own observation. We must confess
were we to speak from our own observa-
tons, gloomy indeed would be the picture.
There is lack Of honesty, Of motive and
Of purpose every where prevailing
the public mind, that causes US TO lament
the departure Of the great and good men,
who have so recently been removed from
life of usefulness, by death. The election
is ovcr--a new era dawns upon US, prehaps
the whole spirit Of the government may
change under it. Certain it is that great
and important questions will arise before
the next four years pass away Let not
each individual forget that he is an intregal
part of the whole-that Oh individual hon
,sty and integrity, rests the stability Of the
Union.

have been too cruel for them to have opened
their water hogsheads an4s poured down

that day--"All-Saints- Day" 1t is our day

dressed ladies glided to and fro, and the

hour In the evening a large concoursc of

you that the humble and contritc sinner
who prostrates himself at the alter Of de-

unseen spirits in higher grade of existence?
If it be not so, then is immortality an idle
dream.
