The New York Mirror saws:

"There is no doubt of the existence of an
understanding between the crowned heads
and Louis Napoleon; and every European
Government, with the single exception of
Great Britain, is likely to become speedy
ally or victum of the Cossac.
ITO use trite remark, the affairs of the
Old world are becoming Interesting, while
the Foreign relations of the United States
are likely to become more and more import
ant, as France reIapses into Imperialism. In
the meantime. the bonds between this and
the mother country are being woven clos
er and stronger; and in the great battle Of
the future, between the Despotism of the
East and the Democracy OF the West
which, sooner or later, must be fought, tie
nations that met in opposing might on Bun
ker Hill, will stand side by side, united
brothers in the sublime strife of eterna
Ahtagonism."
Before they do, we should think Englant
has TO undo much which she has ALREADY
done.

son, on record, for our own conven>
ience
WHEREAS, we deem |, of the utmost
Importance that the whig party ofthis
state and the union should be and re-
main thoroughly organised. and firmly
believe that at no time in the history
OF our country has a strict adherence
to whig principles been more required
than the present: therefore
Resolved, That although we have
been defeated in the recent Presiden>
sial election. we will retain an undim>
lnlshed experience and faith in the con-
servative principles of the whig party.
and whilst we bow to the will oil the
people, and recognize their right and
capacity tor selfgovernment. in the full
lest extent, yet We cannot believe that
such discordant elements as produced
our defeat in the recent election can or
will maintain the confidence of the
people.
Resolved, That we do earnestly re-,
commend to our brother wings through
out the state to be ofgood cheer. and
rally again in defence of the principle.
we are united to maintain, and which
have been hallowed by the deaths o.
Henry Clay and Daniel Webster. who
though dead, still live in the hearts o
their countrymen, and in those grea
and eternal political truths which the,
have promulgated as the creed of th'
national whig party.
Resolved, That whilst as wings W.
are the friends of the Constitution an
the Union, we are for the firm mainte
, nance Of the honor and rights of tn
