Lou's Napoleon in New York City.

The Brooklyn Daily Advertiser, nsr- alizlng upon the rapid ascent of Louis Napoleon up the ladder oi ambition. from positive poverty. to superlative grandeur ]. and power, recalls seue "reminiscences ol his sejpurn ia this eity naany years ago. The editos says: ~ m IA .WAat strange events have occurred within a few years in reference to. that mane We knew him whilst he was re
 siding iA New York. at a lodging bouse in Resde street, then kept by a gensle> man wbO now occupies high official DO bsitioR under she French Government;- At tlat time he was very poor and very dissipatsd Notoriously profligate in ii habits, and without tl.e pecuniary ability to indulge te the full bent of his incii-
 nation the culpabls prepensities which characterized him, he was frequently ex> pel!ed from certain places in which he obtruded himself. and more thae dozen | times was the occupant of cell at the cid Jail in the Palk, long since torn down. ! Not long prior to his leaving the Uni ted States, he was arrested for aAisAe- meener committed bF hiaM at the elisre. putable house os a woAsan whose estab

WhigS!-- Be not disheartened by you, recent defeat. Those who. are consc ipus ofhaving faithfully ps'formed,their duty, need not discover in the result aught that that should lead: them to distrust tl,e justice and policy of the cause they have advocated. or to. doubt ot its, ultimate success. On. the contrary. we are psors than ever convinced of the importance Of whig principles, and os the. Pern,anance of the great Whig Party of the Uaion. In the late contest, there were nsany
 things which betokened disaster, but which, before the election, the mass of the party were slow to heed. Tlto:an-3 toward termination of the contest, will serve us as beacon of warning in future
 campaigns. In the first p@ee let u* never hereafter forget that " in unio,. there is strength" Had. the whigs thro'> out the country cultivated spirit ot harmony and concession, (such as perva. ded the. ranks of our opponents vny different result would'have crowned their labors. But the reverse of this was true. In New York the personal quarrel be- tween Governor Seward and. President Fillmore lost us that State; in Ohio. 10000 whigs rode off on the Free Soil hobby, and thaa. ga~a.- the State to, tl.e. opposition ;. disaffection and indifference. caused some 25,ooO whigs in Pennsyl>
 yanis to stay at home on eA-ction day ; in some places our candidate was de.
 nounced, as. Romanist, and the Proles. tants were persuaded ta. vote against him while in certain other quarters, ne was declared to be bitter enemy to the catholics and M.ey would. not support him. -.s.r ..5.. r ' So, betweens the islanders of the "de, mocracy' on the one hand and the quarrss of our own political friends on the other, the party has been tompora~ .rily defeated. But. guided by the lights of past experience, let us keep up oar organization with more resolute and hopeful spirit, and when. occasion res ;quires it. let us rally in our might, and sthe Eagle of Victory will once moro perch upon, our standard. ..

Am AlUis Avalanche:
