ARIsTOCRATIC ABsENTEES.

the more recent career and conduct of the English
aristocracy, who during the times of peace mono
polized all the preferments and honors of the Brit

at SevastopOl establishes the fidelity ofthe picture
In the first glitter and fash Of the Alma and Baa-
kava battles, before stern war set in, and while
the affair was still deemed pageant, the air was
full of these Summer insects. But the moment
that true valor had to be tried, and devotion aud
endurance to be tested, they fled from the Crimean
scene. Not long since, when the chivalry and
beauty of England were gathered round the Horse
Guards at London to see the Queen of England
present the honors the country awarded to those
who had fought its battles, the arstocratic soldiers
figured there in profusion which seemed rather
exuberant considering the distance from the scene
of war. While those who had really plucked dis
tinction in the field Of death-the wounded sol
diers-were huddled together in one mass in a cor
ner of the London journals, we were informed with
pOmpous parade and petty particularly how my
Lord Cardigan and the Duke of Cambridge came

bowed, and how they blew their noses Every look

The REPUBLICAN Meeting at the Tabernacle last
evening was one Of the largest and was certainly
the most spirited and enthusiastic which has been
held in our city this season by any party. For
three full hours the close attention of the large au
dtory was given to terse aud logical statements OF
Mr.. SHERWOOD, the stirring eloquence OF Senator
WILSON of Massachusetts,, the freedOm-breathing
energy, the resstless humOr of Gen. NYE. Judge
CULVER charged lucidy at the close, but very prop
erly declined to speak at length, because of the
lateness of the hour Grave and substantial as the
assemblage mainly was it was frequently moved
to the deepest enthusiasm, especially on the rising OF
Gen WILSON, who it was generally feared would not
be present. and repeatedly during the remarks of
Gen. NYE The fact that the advertised speakers
were all present and spoke right to the general I'M
derstandng and conscience rendered this one of the
most interesting and effective Political meetings
ever held in our city.
A word here to our friends in ether localities
who wish to get up meetings: Airays consult and
secure yoHr speakers before you afrertIse them. We
know that this rule is constantly violated, to the
serious injury of the cause thus experimental
upon. Men will advertise popular speaker, and
then write that he must come because he is adver-
tised, and disappointment will work injury;
when perhaps his attendance is rendered morally
impossible by prior engagements. Speakers are
used to being treated as public property, and may
stand III but the public is not so well disciplined,
and is indignant when disappointed, and afterwsrd
discredits all announcements of distinguished
speakers. BE sure you're right before an
nouncing any one as a speaker at your meeting.

The NJ T. Times of yesterday has the follow
ing dctunr:
"The French people are fond of glOry-and will sus-
tain their emperor long be wins for them aures
OIL the battlefield, especially against despotic power.
But The fret gun be should venture to fire in awar with
TIL republic would be the signal for his own de-
tbropement."
Now if the French people have any such feeling
as is here ascribed to them, how happens it that
they stood calmly by while this same Napoleon
knocked over the Roman republic Or if they
would not allow him to fire gun at the democratic
United States, why did they let him fire so many at
the democrats of France, and then after killing as
many as he thought best, send all that he could
catch of the remainder to Cayenne and Lambessai
If Louis Napoleon should make war on this cOun-
try lie would be very likely to lose his place after
it, but there is no reason why such should be
more unpopular in France than one with any other
of the civilized powers Of the world.
