A BONAPARTE HEIR TO THE BRITISH
THRONE.

"The London Morning Hcratd mentions a
report that the princess Mary Of Cambridge is
to be married 10 the son Of Jerome Bonaparte,
nephew TO Napoleon, and remarks it would,
indeed, be singular instance of The vicissi,udes

The above paragrap h 10 going the rounds o.

But it is surpassed by the fact that Bonaparte
is already included in the list of heirs 10 the
throne Of England. Jerome Bonaparte married
in 1907, Fredrica Catharine, daughter of the
King of Wurt mberg, one Of the remote Ger
man heirs of the English throne. Jerome Ma

jerome Napoleon is put down the 29,h in the
order of succe ssion. Should Louis Napoleon
die without issue, Jerome Bonaparte would
succeed him as Emperor, and Jerome Napoleon
would become heir apparent to the French
throne.-Should he succeed, and become En-
Peror in his turn, then we would have the sim
gular spectacle ofthe French Emperor claiming
a descent from the Eaglish kings, and having a
right to quarter the British arms with his own
The latter event, by the way, is alt ,gether more
probable than his eventual succession to the
English throne Rochester Union.

ORGANIZING.

The democratic electors Of Alamakee co.,
iowa, asse mbled in mass meeting at Wawkon
the 24,h Of Dec. last und organized the demo
cratic party, by adopting series of well drawn
resolutions and appointing Delegates to the
State Convention TO meet al Iowa City on the
9th inst.
The proceedings Of the meeting and the re-
solutions adopted will be found in this days is
sue.
There was something Of a contest in the cor
vention as to the policy Of organizing the dem
ocralic party, which after some discussion.
resulted in declaring for an organization. As
. rule for general application, we think bold
and decided stand BY democrats in the new
counties, 10 the preferable course. II will De
borne in mind that our political opponents are
great sticklers for expeGency and whenever
and wherever their efforts have been crowned
with success, il can be generally traced 10 that
universal disposition for stratagem, which per
vades their ranks. Our democratic friends Of
Alamakee seem to have taken the bull by the
horns and recorded determination not 10 allow
the wool to be pulled over their eyes.
May their efforts be entirely successful.
PERSONAL.
We understand that DR.. J. w. Flint figured
quite conspicuously in the meeting and made il
1 point 10 attack and lbell the editor Of this
paper.
If we are correctly informed, BY one who was
present, DIR. Flint stated publicly in the meet
ing that we had printed and circulated for the
August election Of 1852, mongrel ticket with
the names Of John P. Cook and Jesse NJ. Har
rison upon il, and that we failed to deny the
charge. when brought against US BY gentlemen
in this City. This we pronounce in its length
and breadth unqualifedly and maliciously false
No such ticket was ever printed in this Office,
nor wasthe charge ever before made against us
to our knowledge. We have not been an mat
tentive observer Of the extraordinary efforts
put forth by this man, to build up the Auxil''
airy Wing Prin, in this City.
So Iong a. his efforts were Of private char
acter and the mission conducted a. . private
citizen, we did not feel called upon to take any
notice Of him but now that he has selected
public mass meeting of his fellow democrats, to
retail his vile columnies and vent his spleen, il
il due to us and the public, that we should set
oursef and him right. Az we said before, the
whole thing is base fabrication and merits the
contempt and reprobation Of every honest man
in the community. We regret the necessity for
30 pointed and harsh contradiction, but our
character, 10 publicly and ,oaatoniy sssailed,
demands il Al our hands and we are not the per-
SON to shrink from such responsibility.
