Fright i'm England.
From the Times of Dec. 10

1t can hardly be questioned that the recent
measures oithe President have met with entire
approval in that powerful combination OF abso-
lutte governments which now extends from ST.
Petersburg TO the Rhine, the Danube, and the
kingdom of Naples. The destruction of con.
stitutional law, the failure of republican gov
eminent, and the ascendancy of military pow
err, are perfectly consistent with the doctrines
which prevail over that large portion of the
continent. Hitherto Lord Palmerston has not
been considered an ardent adherent Of this sys-
TEN, and we have yet 10 learn whether the coup
d etat of the Cd of December has, among other
wonders, effected his conversion, Eut, at any
rate, Lord Palmersion is too sagacous not to
perceive that POLITICAL combination on the
principles of common repression between
France and all the other military governments
OF the continent from which we are unhappily
estranged, is an event pregnant with evil to the
influence and security of Britain. A second
reflection, of equal moment, is that when Lou
is Napoleon has accomplished his mission Ct
"tranquilizing France" two necessities will
press upon hm-to employ the energy and re-
ward the devotion Of an enormous army, and to
crafty the natural passions Of a people whom
he has deprived Of its national rights We abb
stain at present from charging we might do,
on those topics, but we recommend them to the
most serious consideration of the English ma
ton; and, above all, we conjure our country
men not 10 allow fllse confidence in a man
whose character ought now to be clearly known
by them, either to relax their adherence to
principles which can never be violated with I'M
punity, or to lul their vigilance for the protec-
ton Of England against such contingencies
as may by possibility occur
There are not two States in the whole world, I
and IL. yer, have been, SO bound to one anoth- !
er, 80 mutually beneficial and so able to work
together, as the British empire and the United
States At present it seems impossible but
that the whole continent of Europe should TALL
into the hands of military despots; it seems
equally impossible that we, with our American
brethren should lose our enthusiasm for liberty.
Here then, are the two parties in the great cause

The Land OF Golden promise.


From the Bridgeport Standard the following
narrative is extracted 1t reveals a moral to such
as will learn it:
We referred, week or two since, to the cir
cumstances attending the death, at the railroad
depot, Of Mr.. Isaac W. Lewis, q returned Cali
fornian, of this place. Mr.. Lewis was accompa-
MED Oh his journey home by Mr.. George Bartlett
resident of this place also, who had been to
California some three years. Bartlett being men
tally, as well as physically, incapacitated by a
paralytic stroke, was kindly cared for by Mr..
Lewis on the returning voyage, and arrived safe
at Bridgeport. Being deprived of his protector
by the sudden demise of Mr.. Lewis, greatly de-
bilitated in body and mind in the darkness of the
night, he set out for the residence of his father,
near Berkshire bridge. The family were on the
point of retiring, when Mr.. Bartlett, the elder,
was called to the door by seine one endeavoring
to gain admittance. The signs and broken words
of the stranger-for such disease and suffering
had rendered him-were understood to express
desire to remain in the house all night. Mr..
Bartlett, having at home daughter seriously i'll,
was compelled to refuse the applicant, and di-
rected him to a neighbours house. After his de-
parture, the invalid daughter, sister of the re-
turned son, who had overheard the interview,
remarked to her father that the voice Of the
stranger reminded her Of her absent brother, and
requested that he might be recalled. In comph-
ance with her request, the father stepped to the
door and called him by the Christian name of his
son, whom he supposed to be in California. This
was instantly replied to; hope was rekindled;
the wanderer was brought back a closer scru
tiny confirmed the suspicious Of the sister, and
the unhappy son and brother, testifying his joy
by signs and looks, laid himself down to die
The love of home-amountng in this case to
hardly more than instnct-had sustained the
sufferer to the threshold Of the paternal roof,
when exhausted nature gave way, and, after q
shart illness, death closed the scene. Verify,
Truth is more strange than fiction"

to sign it without the privilege Of excepting those Of
