BRowyLow, OF TENNEssEE.-We have opened
several Democratic papers this morning, in which
the powerful influence of this reverend politi-
cal editor is spoken of i'll such manner as 10 stig

State is 10 be annihated by him. He isa gentle
man of fine talents and great energy; but we
would mention 4 fact or two that may not be gen

NATIONAL PREJUDlCES.
In Dickens Household Words the fol-
lowing passage occurs:
The OLD EsGLIsH IDEA OF FRENcmMAN.
1t was profoundly observed by witty
member of the Court of Common Council,
in Council assembled, in the city Of London,
in the year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred anil fifty, that the French are a frog
eating people. ;"i:1 wear wooden shoes. We
are creIibly informed, in reference ,o-the ma.
ton whom This choice spirit SO happily dis
poses OF, that the caricatures and stage rep
I "CiC III
some half century ago, exactly depict
their present condition. For example we
understand that every Frenchman, without
exception, wears a pig-tail and curl papers.
That he is extremely sallow, thin, long fac
ed. and lantern-jawed. That the calves OF
hiAlegs are invariably undeveloped; that his
legs fail at the knees, and that his shoulders
are higher than his ears. We are likewise
assured that he rarely tastes any food but
soup.magre, and an onion; that he always
says, "By Gar! Aha Vat you tell me,
sare % al the end of every sentence he ut
tiers; and that the true generic name of his
race is the Mounseers, or the Parley-Voos.
If he be not dancing master or barber,
he must be a cook; since no other trades
but those three are congenial TO the tastes OF
the people; or permitted by the institutions
OF the country. He is a slave, Of course.
The. ladies of France, [who are always
slavesl invariably have their heals tied up
in Belcher handkerchiels, wear long ear
rings, carry tambourines, and beguile the
WEAKNESS of their yoke by singing in head
voices through their noses-principally TO
barrel organs. IT,
1t may be generally summed up, of this
superior people, that they have no idea ol
anything.
