LOUIS NAPOLEON u NEW 1OnK CtTY.-i
The Brooklyn Daily Advertiser, moraliz-
ing upon the rapid ascent Of Louis Napoleon
up the ladder of ambition, from positive pow
erty, to superlative grandeur uhd power, re-
Gals some "reminiscences Of bis sojourn in
New York city many years ago. The edi-
tor says:
"What strange events have occurred
within a few years in refcrance to that man.
We knew him whilst he was residing in
New York, at n lodging house in Reade
street, then kept by gentleman who now
occupies nigh official position under the
French Government. At that time he was
very poor, and very dissipated. Notorious
ly proligate in his habits, aud without the
Pecuniary ability to indulge to The full bent
Of his inclination the culpable propensilies
which characterized him, he was frequently
expelled from certain places in which he
obtrnded himself, and more than a dozen
times was the occupant Of a cell at the old
jail iu the Park, long since torn down.
"Not long prior 20 his leaving the United
States, he was arrested for misdemeancr
committed by him at the disreputable house
of woman whose establishment he often
visited, and the writer Of this article vas en-
pioyed professionally by him TO save him
from the threatened consequences of his
reckcssness and indiscretb,n.. We little
supposed al that time that the thougltless
gay young man who was then our client
(and who is still indebted to us for counsel
fees and disbursements would become En-
peror Of France. Such, however, is now
his manifest destiny although we believe
that his realization Of his ambitious hypts
and aspirations viii but hasten the fearinl
doom which unquestonably impends over
him"
/ "a WATERLOO DEFEAT"-The Elections,
State and National, have resulted more dis
astrously than the least sanguine Wing
could have apprehcnded. More than four
lifths OF all the Suites in the Union, includ-
iig our own, have gone for Pierce and King
We are disappointed only in the extent Of
the calamity. For the general result we
were quite prepared. In looking at tn d,
paralized and crippled condition OF the Ma
tional Wing Party. one could scarcely fail to
perceive the hopelessncss of the conflict
But there was SO much confidence with
prominent politicians and such generon:
zeal among indomitable Wings, that WI
tried to believe ourselves mistaken. 7,
have expressed apprehensions during thu
heat ofbdttle, would have wounded the feel
ings of the ardent and wholly dishearteneC
the wavering; and therefore we fought on
blindly, dclrding others and half-deluding
ourselves. r" .'
This result, though overwhelming to
Wings and disastrous to the Country, is an
inglorious triumph even to the Democracy ,foT
the substantial interests of the American
People have been sacrificed. Loco Focc
