that Gen Casshaid very oh compliment to
our Senators in Congress, for their exertions in
people of this State are concerned, they are full.
ly app ised ofthe course of their Senators upon
this important question.
But it is proper that we should say, that the
course Of Gen. Cass, upon this question, has
been eminently just, patriotic and Statesman
like.
The truth is, however partial we may have
been to the nomination of Senator Douglas, as
an available Western man, we have never for
gotten our strong personal and political devotion
to the great Cass. He is host within himself
and one OF the soundest abest and truest ex-
ponents of democratic principles that we have
in the country We admire the man and re we're
the Statesman and should the Baltimore con-
venton in its wisdom think fit to present him
as candidate for the Presidency, there is no
man in the United States, that we would more
cordially and fearlessly sustain.
This announcement we consider no dispar-
agement, to the course we have already adopted
For if we regard the popularity of Dougas
as superior to that Of Cass, it can not lessen
our old and venerated attachment for Michi
gan's favored son.

1ntere,tjnr fro1n France,


A special dispatch, communicated exclusively
for the Baltimore Sun, dated the 23d ult.,
contains the following information
stThe impndent conduct Of Louis Napoleon
is acceleratn. the issue of events in France
1t cannot be much longer deferred. He SEEMS
utterly nsensible to the possibility that there is
any limit to the arbitrary exercise of power -
Yet, his DEGREES against the press, as they have
become public, have aroused spirit of revolt
which has already led to demonstration a.
mong tie students Of the college of Louis LIE
Grand, troops having been actually called IN
for its suppression. Many Of the scholars have
been arrested and others dismissed
ga grave discussion has taken place between
General de St. Armand, Mn.ster Of War, and
the Pres; dent, in winch the former has sought
the appointment Of Governor of Algeria, bn
at the same time desires to retain his Office as
Minister Of War. Thus he control of Alge
ria, and the army in France is to pass into the
hands of this adventurer, for it is iDtmated tina,
the President has been obliged to consent rath
er than risk quarrel with Arnaud.
Gan order has been sent to the French envoy
in Switzerland, requiring him t. demand pro-
bib,t;on AGAINST the admission of French reiu-
oees into that republic, and suppression OF a
French democratic journal published therein.
s.An insurrectionary movement in Rome has
been recently suppressed win olHicui'y ny Tie
armv."
Our Correspondent then speaks Of the arrest
of Mr. Bocher, administrator of the estates o.
the Orleans family, and adds further:
"E. Dupin, ex-President of the Senate anc
M. Berger, are under guard in their respec
tive houses. Bocher has been ,nducted to Vim
cennes and is there confined with other polit
ical prisoners, among whom are Morant, Mar
nee, Zermann, Lefon,aine, De La Nois, &c.
"T'he Emperor Of Russia has, by NJ. Straz

against the proposed decree Of Louis Napoleon

"PEAcE WITH FRANCE PRESERVED, 1888 -
"A correspondent of the Hartford Times takes
exception to the truth of this inscription on
the medal recently presented to Henry Clay,
and remarks -
GA lie engraved on gold cannot peryert the
truth of history 1t is to Andrew jackson,
then President of the United States, to whom
beyond and above all other men, the country IS
indebted for peace with France, preserved in
lS33,' and for redress procured alter long and
inexcusable delay, during several years of
which delay Mr. Clay had, as secretary Of
state, been entrusted with the management of
cur foreign affairs. In 1888 Mr. Clay was not
an executive officer but senator, and did less
than some members of the house in sustaining
the executive through the French diflicu'ti, s.
He did not, it is true, like Daniel Webster.
openly side with France nor come in for that
ind ignant rebuke which their mutual friend,
John Qnincy Adams, hurled at the rccreant
senator from Massachusetts; but it is nnori us
that through the whole of that ilustrious ad-
ministration, which procured for our country
name and respect abroad, exceeding that which
we had previously, enjoyed, Mr. Clay headed
and was the acknowledged leader of factious
opposition which waged against the admins
traton unspar ring hostility 1t i'll becomes the
adulators of the yet living politician to attempt
TO rob the dead hero and patriot of his aurels
and fame.

THE SPIRIT OF PRoPHEsY ABROAD.

In the days of primitive greatness, the world
was blessed with its great men. This greatness
was discernable more especially in the spirit of
prophesy, which illuminated that darker peri cd
in mans history, and clothed the faithful with
a supernatural wisdom, remarka BILE in itself, and
peculiar to that period. This wonderful power
conferred upon the few, not only elected the
reverence and admiration Of all, but it aroused
an ambition among certain Of the unfaithfM to.
snatch the honors, which clustered around the
character of the true Prophet. OF course there
were false as well as true prophets at this period
and they have existed from that time to the pres
ent. But it has been question of grave doubt
among the Doctors of Divinity, whether the
spirit of true prophesy did not pass away with
the age, which made it necessary to call it into
being and never, until very recent period,
have we had our own doubts entirely removed
upon this subject One, at least, of the old stock,
is left, and we approach the name and character
of that parsonage, with all the awe and venera
ton we can command.
1t will be recollectcd that at our Railroad
meeting on the 10th ult., in this city, Maj Lu-
cius III Langworthy, arose in the midst of that
congregated assemblage, and announced with a
prophets eye and prophets accent, although
disclaiming the name and character, that the
&C Iowa Land Bill would certainly pass the
Senate onthe following day, which was the 18th.
After this announcement was made, there
were those as there ha ve hpen in III noes of thp
world, who were disposed to doubt and scoff;
but the result, as it now appears on the Congress
sional record will put all such doubtrs to shame.
The event did transpire ON the 18th, and Mr.
Father Prophet.
The miners' express. (Dubuque, Iowa) 1849-1854, 1852-04-07

The MALs.-rhe probabilities are that as
long as the present incompetent Post-naster
General remains in Office, we shall have fre
quent occasion to make The Mails subject
of remark in onr columns. Until this morning
no eastern mail arrived here since Monday, and
in place of receiving the mails due to-day, only
three bags arrived, and they not full. If The
commercial community here can tolerate this,
why we can make up minds I" bear IL . for
when we receive no news, we find no difficulty
whatever in drawing upon cur imagination for
either facts or fancies. This IS perhaps, the
only city in the Union, with population IF l00-
O0O, which has no daily mail from the eastern
cities. This is the consequence Of appointing
fifth rate lawyers to Offices where good business
oualifi cations are required in the incumbents.
