A GRAND LOTTERY SWINDLE-The court
in France have just ripped up grand swindle
in the famous lottery of Llngots Dor, and 10,
the President of France turns up from the hot
tom as the principal manager, for his own private
emolument, to the amount OF some millions.
The tickets, it will be remembered, were seven
millions, at one franc each, and the alleged OBJ
iect was to fit ont emgrating parties to Caifor-
MIA II seems that the whole project was got
up by NJ. earlier, project Of the police, who was
to have million of francs for his share, and
Louis Bonaparte and his immediate followers
the rest The first two millions and a half were
sold, and the money paid over to Louis Napo-
eon then President of the republic But to
increase the amount of sales two millions and
half of duplicate tickets were sold in the prov
nces. The fraud was detected before the draw
ng, in November last explanations were made
that it was an inadvertance, &c, and the man
ayers resigned; new set were appointed, and
the lott ry was drawn on the lth of Novem
Der. Befo week elapsed there were forty
three claimants for the first twenty-five prizes
The directors demurred, took month to exam
inc and decide, and in the meantime l. uis Bo-
naparte stepped in with his coup d'efat and
stopped the noteriety and the exposures by the
press. But he did not stop the course of the
courts, for the tribunal of the Seine has just
condemned the directors to pay the duplicate
prizes to the numbers which drew 10000 and
$4,000 francs.
This part of the story is authentic; that
which connects Louis Napoleon with il is de-
rived from the correspondents from Paris, who
profess to know the whole suppressed history

The New York Times thus puts the argu-
menium ad honinem at its Wing conpeer of
the Commercial Advertiser, which had come
down heavily on the free donation system.
Mr.. WALKER, of " isconsin, must look out for
his laureIs if Mr. WEBSTER takes his ground
from under his feet The Times says:
"The Commercial let's its zeal run away with
its Judgment 1t has evidently forgotten that,
on the ~ of January, 1850, the following res
oluton was submitted to The Senate of the Uni.
ted States, by a gentleman Of some distinction
and not usually classed by the Commercial
among the Missionaries or dishonest agrarans
of the day.
:" Resolped That provision ought to be made
by law, that every male citizen of the United
States, and every male person who has declared
his Intention OF becoming citizen according
to the provisions of law, of II years of age or
upwards, shall be entitled 10 enter upon and take
any one.quarter section Of the public lands, which
may be open to entry at private sale, for the
purposes of residence and cultivation, and tha,
when such citizen shall have resided on the
same land for three gears, and cultivated the
same, or ifdyng in the meantime, the residence
and cultivation shall have been held and carried
out by his widow or his heirs, or devisees, for
the space of full three years from and after
making entry of such land, such residence and
cultivation TO be ompleted within the four
years from the time of such entry, then patent
10 issue for The same 10 The person making entry,
if living, or otherwise o his heirs or devisees
AS the case may equire: Pror,ded, nevertheless
that such person SO entering and taking the
quarter section as aforesaid, soall not have, nor
shall his devisee or heirs have, any power TO
ALLEVIATE such land, nor create any title thereto,
in law or equity, by deed, transfer, lease or any
other conveyance, except by devise by will"
This resolution was offered in the Senate by
Mr.. Webster and we submit that single fact as
conclusive against all that the Commercial says
about the dishonesty and absurdity of the prin
cple which it involves. The bill now before
the Senate is almost identical in its provisions
with this resolution. 1t proposes to give to
actual settlers, occupants and cultiyators for
three years, one quarter section of he public
lands, free of charge, and subject to the same
limitations as those specified in the resolution
of MIR. Webster The fact that the principle
and provisions of the bill have thus been dis
tincty endorsed and espoused by Mr.. Webster
affords conclusive proof that it is not obnoxious
to the objections which the Commercial urges
against it. If it were absurd Utopian, and dis
honest, as the Commercial a'leges, Mr.. Webster
would never have presented himsefto the world
| as its author and advocate"

thinking men will agree. We extract the fol-
lowing eloquent passage fromit:
"We have heard hootings minging with the
drge of Andrew Jackson and of JOHN @. Ad-
ans. We have heard revilings Kissed out by
partisan journals over Taylor, when yet unse-
pulchered, in the spot on which he slept in his
early life and now sleeps in death. And yet
again, when John C.. Calhoun had but just
passed away, and solemn consciousness of
death left but majestic memory
to keep guard over inanimate dust, and through
out the whole Union, in the remembrance of
good and gre, man gone, the very day seemed
dark with funeral gloom we have heard the
sheer and the but half-suppressed self cougratu,

The San Francisco Herald has the followinc
in relation TO the Irish exiles. 1t will be noticed
that Mr.. Meagher was expected to arrive in Cali
fornia from New South Wales. Terence Bellew
McManus, another OF the patriots, reached there
in safety, several months ago:
"A rumor was prevalent yesterday to the effect
that Smith OBrien and John Mitchell, the Irish
State prisoners, had made their escape from Van
Diemans Laud, and were supposed to BE- in Cali.
Iornia. We cannot learn that there was any
foundation for the report, although the truth If
i is vouched for by one Of the officers Of the
Osprey. This rumor may have originated from
the alleged fact that the col ,niaI authorities hs va
offered reward of five hundred pounds sterling
for the arrest of Mr.. Meagher, another of the
State prisoners, who was said to be MISSING.
That some of the victims of the government
have broken their chains, ard may now be sail.
ing for this port, is not at all improbable We
earnestly hope 1t may prove true.
1t is with no slight qualification that we con.
graduate our citizens on the escape of Thomas
Francis O'Meagher from New South Wales
That great and pure man, accomplished gentle
mn, true patriot and splendid orator has, thank
God, escaped from the clutches of the British
government and is now under the protection Of
the American flag. 1t is to be hoped, should he
arrive here, that he will meet with such recen.
ton as is due to him. Who will move in the
matter! 1t is time to do something, for if the
patriot is on his way to San Francisco. he will
arrive in a few days in all probability. Mr..
OMeagher is the second of the convicts who
has escaped; Mr.. McManus, who is now in our
midst, being the first. We heartily welcome
such convcts to our shores"

gaY@ While the Northern papers are dilating
on the profits of literary labor exemplified in
the cases of fortunate few, we find the reverse
of the medal in the following statement, clipped
from a New York paper:
"Major Richardson, known in the literary
world as the author of several very clever and
popular novels, 'Wacousta,' Canadian Bro
thers,' &c., recently died in New York, if not
literally of starvation, at all events by diseat e
engendered by frequent want of the necessaries
of life. His life had been one of great vicissi,
tudes and adventure. He was an Englishman
by birth, and had been attached to the British
| army. He was also correspondent in Canada
| of the London Times. The Democrat says he
was a man of very expensive habits, which &C
counts for his poverty, and his pride would MOI
allow him to let his situation be known TO his
friends.

The "End Of Agitation. !"

We hear much tuneful cant about the end of
snti-slavery agitation, as though nostrums in
the shape of resolutions, had power to lay that
evilspirit. There is no paper at the North that
YIELDS stronger influence than the New York
Tribune and here is its language on the sub
Ject, on the very eve of its National Convention :
"The intelligence, the philanthropy the con.
science of the American people. are All adverse
to the perpetuation Of human slavery in onr
country, and anxious for it's termination In
vain do interest, quiet, trade, conservatism
plead for absolute silence, indifference, finalitv
N well might the two great parties conspire 10
interdict and prevent the summer melting Of
SHOWS on our mountains, as TO inhibit further
anti-slavery agitation"

can be said TO have any pocy-directed to the
interests of commerce, to the utter neglect, il
not total sacrifice OF those OF agriculture, which
pays all and receives nothing. What would
Congress say to a knot of honest wood chop
pers, who had contracted for the purchase OF a
few millions of acres from the United States,
were they TO come forward with an application
for fev millions of dollars to enable them TO
make good profit on their speculation! IN
less their votes could decide the Presidential
election, the petition would certainly be laid on
the table, in spite Of the great axiom that The
good of one Is the good Of the whole, and the
Buncombe argument, that the Improvement of
The lands Of Others is the best way of enhancing
the value of our own. Yet we see at this mo
ment an application before the Senate which,
according to all Appearances will be successful,
only that one is applicable to agriculture, the
other to commerce. From the former no direct
revenue is derived from the latter government
obtains alt it's resources. Is it any wonder it
makes wide distinction between them? If
the farmers paid their taxes directly to the gov
ernment they would not only be in 4 situation
TO restrain its extravaganza, but IN great
measure to direct its policy. As il is, they have
not, all combined, MS much influence in Con
gress as a knot of spectators in the great EN-.
poriuu He who holds the purse strings is
master; and if the farmers wish 10 exercise
their due influence in the government il must
depend on them directly for lis support.

The Seeding Wings.

The seeding wings.
/ think the Wings who bolted from the Wing
caucus and published an address to justify their
course decidedly in the wrong-which will
plainly appear from the following extract from
their address. After speaking of the Missouri
compromise and abiding to the djustment +"
of 1850, they say
"a new compromise was made worthy the
balance Of power was yielded by the slavehold
ing States and the reins of empire were deiv
cred up to the free States by the admission of
California into the Union"
This is true, sbamefully true, and shameessy
avowed. And by whom was this done? By
the very men who now trumpet forth their own
shame and the degradation and ruin Of their own
section of the country.
But this was not the language held in Missis-
sipp, Alabama, Georgia, &c in 1881 Then
the compromise was a just and liberal and fair
settlement of the vexed questions between us
and our Northern brethren.
What Submissionist told the people that the
reins of empire were delivered up by the slave
holding States ?"
But this is not my oil ect. started TO show
that the seceders were wrong What right have
they who have surrendered the reins of empire
to the North to claim to control the South
To assume to do SO is to reverse the natural
border of things, and at the same time lose al
thc merit of their inglorious surrender.
d, These men knew as well two years ago as
they do now, that it was aboliiionism which
grasped all the territory conquered from Mexico
They now know that when they delivered uT
the relns of empire" for which there was nc
constitutional provision, they lost the power TO
enforce the delivering up of fugitive slaves for
which there is constitutional provision.
Men who /" deliver up the reins of empire
oppose the right of secession, and denounce
= those who are not willing Ito deliver up' as
Z traitors, have but one course left--which is TO
+, ubmit without murmurng. They are in state
of voluntary serfdom, end they should bear in
1 oind that discontented slave annoys his master
nd brings misery on himself.
