A FRANK POLITICIAN.

There is one sentiment in the subjoined remarks
of retiring candidate that must strike every mind
with irresistible force. The constitutional conser-
vative party Of the North has indeed been dsorgan

The Hon. JOHN NJ. PALMER, prominent Senator from
Macoupin county CIll) has withdrawn his name from
the canvass for the that the Indications that
the Nebraska bill would be made the test by his party
and he unwilling to give countenance to such
sure. He says:
"My opinions upon that subject before the public,
and unchanged | believe that the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise was unwse and unnecessary

tonal Conservative party Of the North With these OPT

bill before the people; |, by remaining in the

A newspaper has been started at Los Angeles

Obspo but do not want the division line to
take in any of the mining districts Our pursuits

will promote the pursuits for which the country is adapt

THE HEBREWS.

The Jews Of this city, being about to celebrate
their new year by fast and festival, to commence
on Friday, it may not be inappropriate to insert a
few extracts from correspondence which took
place in August, 1900, between the Hebrew Con
gregaton of Newport, Rhode Island, and President
WASHINGTON. .~.
After an allusion to the days of difficulty and
danger through which the great Chief had passed,
the Address continues

To which President WASHINGTON, after anLnow.
lodging the cordiality of the welcome given him by

The citizens of the United States Of America have
right to applaud themselves for having given to

AFFAIRS OF THE PENINSULA.

The reader will find in the letter of our Paris
correspondent graphic and interesting account of
late exciting political scenes in Madrid. Our we'll
informed countryman, Mr.. WALSH, writing from
Paris to the Journal of Commerce on the same sub
ject, says:
"The liberation of the Queen Mother is attri-
buted to the joint intercession of the British and
French ambassadors. Her errors or her offences
have been enormously exaggerated We should not
forget that she was from the period of her royal
husbands death constantly surrounded by political
intriguers and insubordinate military adventurers
most OF whom have ever since been on the stage,
siding with her or against her according to circum-
stances, and tasking her perpeally in selfdefence
or for the protection of her daughters interests.
More OF this hereafter for had good opportunities
Of Judging of the woman and the men, from close
observation and inquiry, during the several years
OF her soJourn in Paris. We may not be sur
prised that not less than twelve ex-Ministers of
State were of the number of Spanish fugitives at
Bayonne. The names and persons of most of them
are familiar to me. At different junctures all the
leaders OF the political parties have lived and plotted
as exiles in this capital nearly all, in turn,
at the soiHes of Queen Christina in the Salon Of
Marliani and in the apartments Of Mendizabal and
Martinez de la Eosa, whom frequently visited, and
with whose opinions Of the real character and bio
graphy Of the Queen made myself acquainted
Some Of Esparteros private confidential letters to
his friends in Paris, written during his Regency,
were put into my hands They impressed me most
favoraby to his political rectitude and general
sound sense. He is deficient in frmness; that de-
feet occasioned his downfall, and renders him unfit
for his present position ~.
The New York Evening Post states that " Mr..
SoULE, our Minister to Spain, has been writing a
Young America' letter to the liberal press of Mad
rid, which will amuse all whom it does not mortify"
