Louis Napoleon deprived it Of liberty. The
Journal des Debats alone has kept at its pre-
vious figure of 1900 copies. The Consti-

circulated 30 900 copies,rose soon afterwards
toss 900, as It was then the special organ OF
the usurper, but has since fallen off some 96
900, notwithstanding reduction Of its price
to % francs, or Sc year, which is consid-
ssably less than the cost Of paper and stamps,
This journal has, however. just been sold to

establishment, and now the favorite of'the
Emperor, for the sum Of 100000. The

AGRICULTURAL PoLITIcs.--In notice
of the Fairin Morrow county, as reported by
Mr.. Joseph Mosher, in the Westua.Agricut-

and agriculture, but as this paper is to be

THE SABBATH IN FRAscE.--When anle-
lection is ordered in France, says the Louis
vile Journal, Sunday is generally the day
the ballots are cast. Sunday is the chosen
time, there, for fetes Of all sorts--for public
meetings, for psrades, and 50 on. It was
only the other day that the new Emperor
Napoleon himself went hunting in the
forests OF Fontainbleau, with royulretlnue'
on Sunday, The fourth commandment is
thus uniyersally, officially, and ,unofticially
ignored. A nation which thus holds in
contempt the Christian institution Of the
Sabbath Is not likely to be greatly moral in
other respects. Yet some people are all the
while puzzling their brains to discover why
France is not Republic instead Of Mon
.archy--a democracy instead Of despo tism.-
aArepubiic implies selfgovernment,y yet how
can q nation govern itself when it rejects
the only means that enables i, individually
sndiin the aggregate to govern itself. AZ

WHERE IS THE RIGHT PARTYl-Whent the
mariner is driven from his course by stress OF
wind, he does not expect to recover il by
questioning the principles Of navigation,
and throwing away bis instruments and ta-
bles. On the contrary he relies upon them
more than ever TO enable him to find and re-
sumo the right way again and pursue his
voyage to the destined port. The wings
have been certainly baffled in their recent
expedition, and are suffering severely, but
with admirable patience and good nature,
from an almost unexampled visit ofuntoward
weather. Under such embarrassing circum-
stances, the last step any sensible man a.
mong them should think of taking is to cast
overheard the principles they have adyocat-
ed. IL any one is not sincere in this, the
sooner he gets rid of them the better; be-
cause, just now, they are likely to do hyp-
ocrite no sort of good. They will be at pres
,ent very unproductive investment indeed.
But with many, and the great body of the
wings, this matter of conviction is quito out
of their control. They have embraced a
certain system Of national policy after due
examination, because they could not help it.
There is no option on the subject. Who is
it calls for an abandonment Of the old whig
party! Are they those who have ever real
ly been its members! What has happened
to recommend SO curious proposal! Or
rather what is there which can render such
a proceeding possiblel There has never
been, and is not now, any material or legal
ligature to bind individuals together, and
form party. tits union simply Of opin-
ion. Where, this exists, and as long as it
shall last, there is, and will continue to be,
party to nllintents, because, thinking alike,
when action comes, they win of necessity
act in harmony. ..f, @
The question, therefore, is not so much
whether the party shall be dissolved OF
changed, as whether their principles shall be
surrendered! We say yes, if they have been
conquered. 1.-THE citadel of whig principles
has been actually taken by the enemy, We
are willing to capitulate, though we Shoult
like to march out with the honors Of war
Our greatest leaders are in their graves, bu
they were not vunquished before they died
No, that they were not. Others will spring
to the vacant pl1ces at the head Of our col
umns, An army Of good soldiers nevel
need despair Of generals; they will appear al
fast as wanted, if the rank and file acqu
themselves as men. ---Nelcdrk Advertiser
