CuorPiSo ur PAUPERs. Under this meat
axe head tho Democrat discourses most
savagely against bill, which did not pass
tho legislature, entitled "a Bill for tho pro-
motion Of Medical Science" Some OF tho
warmest friends of the Bill wero tho political
friends Of the Editor Of the Demncrat. The
Democrat also pitches into Mr.. Andrews, our
representative, Tor voting for tho Bill. Mr..
Andrews did, VIC believe, vote for tho Bill, but
II was after !. had been amended in such o
mnnncr that its original friends would have
been unwilling to acknowledge their patorni-
ty. The friends Of tho Bill, would have bad
reason to eIelaim, "savo US from our
friends, had they received only such support
as was rendered them by Mr.. Andrews.
Our neighbor must be hard pressed or he
would not strive to make political capital out
Of this matter.

Post Mortem Consultations for the Pres.
ident,

Tho N. Y. Evening Post (Democrai uses
the following plain languages 10 speaking Of
the death Of the Administration party a. tho
Now Hampshire election:
Ifthere was any doubt before, Of the pres.
ent state Of public feeling in New Hamp-
shiro, there can be mono since this election.
The State has pronounced itself against Mr..
Pierce's administration with an emphasis
which leaves no room for cavil. Nothing
could hare been more faiiering 10 q candi-
date than the vote which New Hampshire
gave Mr.. Pierce at the time Of his election,
and scarce any circumstance, we think,
could moriify him more than such reyisal
Of its favorable judgmsnt-such-a o declara.
ton, mads by his old nsighbon. Of their
utter. loss Of confidence in him. In two
years he has gambled away the princely
inheritance Of popularity with which he en-.
tered upon his official lie /; ruined and
broken up his party, and caused q complete
revolution in the political character Of the
States which gave him the most eheclual
support. There never was man elected
Ito The Presidency whose public course was
more plainly defined by the circumstances
of the time, and more fee from, embarrass-
ing perplexities, than that Of Mr.. Pierce,
two years since; and there never was one
among them who missed his way SO deplor-
ably. .rI '.i 70 .'l- e. i...h -.i'a'.I

EMPEROR NICHOLAS EYrEcT OF HIS
DEATH. The National Inielligencer is Of
opinion that the son OF Nicholas, who sue
ceeds 10 the imperial throne Of Russia, will
consider the war bequeathed 10 him as a
sacred duty, to be prosecuted with redonb-
led yiSor, and TO the last extremity; and
that no will listen 10 no terms Of adjustment
short Of those which his father would have
exacied. The following remarks are from
the rn,elligencer: l, '-gla '....-.
"The Emperor Nicholas may be regard.
cd, perhaps, rs The greatest sovereign OF
modern times, and few have filled wider
space in the history Of the world. With an
empire extending from the Baltic TO Beh-
rings Straits, he ruled two-,hirds OF The cir.
conference Of the habi,able globe, and ov-
or all those vast territories and races he was
known and felt. Through that immense
region he might DO said 10 be-" The State"
He was identified with all its interests, mor-
al, social, political and religions. He knew
Everything, inspired everything, directed
everything, controlled and superintendent
Everything, military, civil and ecclesiastical.
II is moi 10 be wondered at that, 10 such a
labor Of thirty years duration, even his col
ossal frame and strong brain should nj last
yield and sucoumb. With the genius Of
the Great Frederick in administrative ca
pacity, no had almost The genius OF Napo-
leon for war. His moral and conscientious
qualities surpassed those Of either. 4"
"The sudden death Of such man, even
in time Of universal peace, might well
produce stir among the crowned heads Of
Europe, How much greater then must DO
The dread, the uncertainty, OF what may be
; the consequences under existing circum.
s,auces. A thousand wild speculaions will
be formed /; the diplomacy Of Europe will
be tortured 10 make il subserye particular
theories; new scales for regulating the
balance of power will be asserted and main.
tanned by Congress OF Plenipoienlia;ies,
each sirivingto oui-manGuvre each; and
The unhappy result may be universal war.
We forbear for the present, however, 10
trust ourselaes 10 further conjecture. for all
must be conjecture until the new Emperor
shall have done something from which his
future intentions may DO inferred. We
trust in God that his policy may be peace.
iul, and that speedy end may DO put 10
tho sufsrings Of the present terrible war"
