speech
President delivered in Baltimore on Monday even
ing but we must take the freedom to say (paren-
that could wish that the President of
the United States would abstain from public speech
es. Let him admit his countrymen as freely as he
pleases his presence, and shake hands with them
ALL if he chooses; but question the taste of his
making street addresses to the multitude. 1t is
enough for the lesser lights to shine there We felt
the objection to the practice in the excellent
President Fillmores time, but for obvious reasons
did not then feel so free to express it. We have
heard those say who remember President Monroes
tor through the States in the year 1918, that he
did not make public speech during his whole Jour-
ney. We admit, however, the validity of the an
swer to our objection, of de gustibus &c.
National Intelligencer
We think the practice of presidential speech
making might be so far abused as to call for the
criticisms and censures of the press but whether
the President be the d" excellent" Fillmore or
the " democrat' Pierce, see no objection
to his appearing occasionally before his countrymen
in f street" and addressing " the multitude" in
obedience to their earnest call. sFor obvious rea-
sons,' we think such speech as President Pierce
made at Baltimore, under the circumstances, was
peculiarly appropriate, and it not less proper
for him afterwards to admit his countrymen into
his presence and " shake hands with them alb
All this has democratic odor about it which suits
our taste. If Gen. Pierce, however, had traversed
the country, pending the presidential canvass, and
made political addresses to " the multitude" We
should have felt (though " for obvious reasons we
might not have been so free to express IT'D that a
presidential candidate ought to ''abstain from pub
lie speeches." But de guStibus, &c.

Sto1re- ism appears to have come to a sudden end
the other side of the water Queen Victoria refused
10 receive her; rebuke which extingushed in an
instant the enthusiasm of the Stafford House clique,
| and was not unfelt by the leading members of the
Ministry, who had made themselves ridiculous by
caOtInp | no
course of the Queen that she has more good feeling
and hard common sense than all the politicians who
surround her
After the Queen turned her back upon the authoress
of Uncle Iom, that notoriety- seeking individual,
deserted by the nobility and gentry'' forthwith be-
took herself the channel and tried her fortunes
in Paris. The misfortune attended her at the outset
The morning after her arrival, she leaving the
house of M. Richard, Red Republican, that worthy
individual was arrested by the police, charged with
peror, and lodged in Jail. The amiable authoress de-
prved of her worthy guide, compelled to make
her own way as best she could. 1t is supposed thai
her next will be devoted to the consideration
of the miseries of the French aUhites-havng ascer

as the negroes of the South Richmond Whig
