80 With the advent of winter it again de-
wolves on us to record the usual attendant COM
plants with regard to the irreguarity of the
mails, and the consequent dearth of news. Our
last up river mail was received on the 18th inst.
1t has generally been understood that provision
had been made for a weekly mail on the north
as well as the south side of the river, so as to
accommodate Grand Haven during the season
with semi-weekly mail. But rumor now has
it, that in anticipation of an open winter, the
ferriage across the river, and the liability of the
mail carrier to occasionally get his feet wet,
have been deemed contingencies of sufficient
moment with the "powers that be-" to have the
mail on the north side left at Mill Point. We
hope our lives will be spared to witness the in
coming of an administration IN whose councils,
the dimes of the mail contractor, and the mere
personal comfort of the mail contractors SUBJ
contractor, will not be allowed to outweigh con-
siderations Of public good.

~ Louis Napoleon is now firmly estab-
lished on the throne of France The PROPOSE
ton presented by the Senate for the suffrages
of the nation, was doubtless accepted with great
unanimity on the 22d and 23d days of Novem-
Der, and the usurper, for many months past
virtual monarch, elected emperor of the French
under the name Of Napoleon Ill How long
tranquility is ensured by the re-estabshment
of the imperial dignity, is a subject Of conjec-
ture. There are in this movement some assu-
RANGES of future stability and consequent pros
perity The nation has become heartily sick of
revolutionary movements, ana with full knowl-
edge of the consequences, has carried into eff
feet the ambitious purposes of the new empe-
ror. Every expression of the popular will for
months past has been in favor of the empire
If there is any republican spirit left, it is too
timid, too weak, or too Indifferent, to cause its
voice to be heard The tickle French have in
fact proved themselves unfit for the adoption of
republican institutions. They have been edu-
Gated within the pale of monarchical influences.
All their traditions tell of regal magnfcence.
The past gories Of the empire feed the fires OF
their enthusiasm, and the name of Napoleon is
held as souuenir Of national renown Although
our prejudces are not on the side of Napoleon
III, yet we are compelled to admit, that the en-.
ergy and sagacity which he has displayed in at
tainining the summit of power, give promise OF
vigorous and successful administration of the
affairs of the empire.
But we have lost all sympathy with republi-
can movements in France. Let her tyrant rule
with might, and let his throne be perpetual
We say this with an eye to the welfare of the
French nation, to whom absolutsm is better
than anarchy, as well as to the emancipation Of
the other nations of Europe, which can never
be accomplished in the light of such examples
as have been presented by that nation, which has
laid claim to so large proportion Of the dem
ocratic sentiment.
