Louis Napoleon and the Empire,

In Louis Napoleon's Address at the opening of the
new French Chambers, the following passage occurs
There is no installing the "new title" to which
reference is made nor any to doubt that the
earliest excuse will be seized upon, for asking it
the name of the repose of France"
Being now, as heretofore resolved to do every.
thing for France nothing for myself would not &C
cept any modification of the present state of things
unless were constrained to do so by an evident ne
cessity. From whence that arise ? Only from
the conduct of parties. If they resign themselves
nothing shall be changed. But if by their bidder
ntri (so~rdes mences) they should seek to sar
the foundations of my governments if in their blind
ness they should deny the legitimacy of the result
of the popular election if in short. they by thei
attacks should increasingly put the future prospects
of the country in question, then, but then oniy y, i
might be reasonable to ask of the people, in the name
of the repose of France, a title, which might ir

The Compromise.

The House of Representatives has passed certain
resolutions re-afirming the Compromise of the last
session The affrmatory resolutions passed by Q
considerable majority-that majority being made up
in great measure, of Democrats. 1t Is right TO
state that some Southern Democrats refused to vote
for them,-among the rest, the Democratic members
from this State and for the following One,
because Mr.. Jackson's resolution expressed the
opinion that it was the intention of all sections to
carry out the COMPREHENSIVE Fugitive Slave Law
included-in good faith and they could not coin
eide in this opinion. after the exhibitions in Massa-
chusetts New York, Pennsylvania, and other North
ern States It does not seem to be the intention OF
the North to carry out these measures-especially
the Fugitive Slave LAWN good faith. Again
they opposed to this re-afhrmation, which could
have no binding effect, and could only serve to re-
open the agitation if it could serve to do anything
At best it was expressive of doubt, undigniied and
in their opinion and confess, in ours also, I'M
parliamentary Others thought differently and we
do not wish to censure them. but simply to explain
the position of those Southern Democrats who voted
against the endorsement resolutions. A man can
hardly be his own endorser, neither can Congress-
The country must finally decide and Congress ought
not to interfere with that decision by praisng its
own acts #

Gen. CoravoioI not Captured.

Some DAYS since we published statement taken
from exchange paper to the effect that General
Caravajal had been captured by Gen. Harney who
is now stationed, believe, at Fort Ringgold, on
the Rio Grande. We see from a letter published
in the Washington Union, under date of April 14th,
in which the writer states that he has just arrived
in Washington City from the Rio Grande, and is
prised to find such report in circulation After
spending several weeks with his family publicly at
Rio Grande City, under the eye of Gen. Harvey
without the least molestation, General Caravajal
started on the steamer Comanche to Brownsville,
to enter surety for his appearance to answer the
Indictment preferred against him for violating our
neutrality laws; and, when within a short dis

without warrant or legal authority, by little

till bail in more than one hundred thousand dollars
was offered for him. of which the United States
missioner took five thousand dollars and he was in
