being a general expression.
There was certainly then an GU0ifajie
canal: otherwise SHabo had different
eyes from people of our day when he
saw the squadrons of ships passing. Had
Napoleon found no England TO thwart
him or the sea, he would have cut that
canal through, and Marseiles and Paris
would have been a second PuleOIl and
Rome. England sends now her mail, and
her merchantmen go too, by steamer to
Alexandria and Cairo, and thence by om-
nibus TO Suez; and no wonder she dis
likes this eastern Panama project OF the
French. The very winter before his
death Mohammed Ali had company o!
French engineers running the level after
the engineers of Napoleon, aud their
stakes may doubtless guide a traveller
now on their track.
The Red Sea is certainly higher than
the Mediterranean; otherwise water ran
up hill in the days of the Plolemies; and
PIiny must have partaken little too
freely OF Falternian when he looked in
the locks and measured the difference OF
level; and the French engineers must be
very stupid fellows by the side of other
civilized neighbors of theirs.
AS TO the feasibleness of the present
French project, nothing but the inteTler-
ence of national rivalry seems TO stand in
the way of the successful prosecution OF
their project. The harbor of Alexandra
at the one terminus is certainly all ample
one. At Suez, it is true, the English
steamers lie off mile perhaps from the
own, down the gulf, on account of the
shoaIness OF the water; but Napoleon had

AGNES WALTHAM
BY ELLEN ASHTON.

"Put on your thick shoes, my love,
when YOU 90 out" said Mrs. Wallham TO
her daughter, as the latter rose TO dress for
a promenade.

was the reply of Agnes.

The discussion continued for some time
longer, but ended, as discussions between
fond mothers and pleading daughters too
often do, in the surrender Of the parent.
Agnes tripped off to array herself for the
walk, and soon departed all radiant with
smiles. She was absent until twilight.

sweetness, "lhere, now. dismiss your

ABOIJTIONISM IN PHILADELPHIA.

At early period in the history of the abolition party
the city of Philadelphia regarded with peculiar favor
by the negro worsippers. Within the last six months
however their admiration has subsidized into cutting
proache if it has not been transformed into open denun
Citations The great reaction in public sentiment-not
merely in Philadelphia but throughout the length and
breadth of Pennsylvania conclusively demonstrated in
the result of the October elections in that Satehas pro-
voked the abolition leaders into the Of expressions
which alike beray their feelings and principles At
meeting of the Pennsylvania AntSlavery Society," held in
sansomstreet Hail. Philadelphia, Tuesday evening last,
William Lloyd Garrison is reported to have said:
"He had no praise betow upon the people of Philade
pha for respecting sustaining the action Of the law
the Passmore Williamson case, and inmaed that in Bos
ton the affair would have had different result
Garrison and his friends, doubt, would have been
moved great joy if they had heard that band of black
republicans had dragged Judge Kane from the BENCH and
in the full tide of their riotous excitement shot Marshal
Wynkoop and suspended District Attorney Van Dyke
from the top Of the nearest lamppost But the people Of
Philadelphia are aw-abiding people. They love the
Union reverence the federal constitution boon above
all price, have shown an infexibe determination
TAIN all hazards the officers Of the general government
while in the discharge Of duty and have also arrived at
the sensible conclusion that the rights, happiness and
prosperity OF the twenty millions Of white inhabitants Of
this republic should have slight consideration in the
settlement of the issue raised by fanatics demayogues and
traitors.
We have apprehension that the city Of Philadelphia
will suffer from the comparison raised by Garrison in ia
vor of Boston; and greatly mistaken in the signs
Of the times if the latter city will not yet be relieved from
that mputation upon its honor honesty patriotism and
good faith--the Communications of an abolitionist
