ROBERT e. HYNDS

WHAT THE FRENCH THINK.-The Paris correspon-
dent of the Providence Journrl says:
Gan article lately appeared in the 1foniteur upon
the naval strength and resources of the United
States, and showing that although our actual force
on the war footing small, we had the great ele-
meats OF naval strength in vast commerce. in the
character of naval architecture and navigation,
and in the number of seamen that we could COM
mand. The tone of this article was strikingly in
contract with the appant style of the English pa
pers, and showedhow deeply the French government
dissapproved of the embodiment which the English
press was foolishly encouraging"

Tbc Nueoxcrship,

The Washington correspondent Of the Baltimore
american, writing on the 9Th inst, INDUCES in the
following speculations: a
In this great contest for the organization Of the
House, the National Americans, thirty one in num-
ber incl lding the four members from Mar, land,
have so tar to the casual observer, appeared of
but little account especially as they have scattered
their vote great deal since the withdrawal OF Hum
phrey Marshal This little band OF thirty >one mem
bers, however, hold the trump cards in this great
struggle, and il they play them well, must win in
the end. TO 90 over to the Democrats would be
equivalent TO their aunihilation as party, and no
one would expect them TO do that. To 60 over to
the Republicans would be equally fatal to them, it
would be an act of treason TO their constituents that
would blast them forever, both in their political
and private characters aud hopelessy PROSTATE
their party. Certainly no one can expect them 10
do that either The Administration party have
nailed their flag to the Nebraska BILL and Of course
can expect no aid from the Anti-Nebraska party,
comprised as il is Of the Freesoil and Abolition par
ties. For them TO sustain the administration can.
didates would be TO vote for the lone idea" which
they we're elected especially to oppose. 1t will
thus be seen that in view of the fact that the Ad-
minstration members are pledged TO vote first and
last for their caucus pominees that the Republican
party must come TO zoe support OF the American
/ candidates who hold the conservative ground be-
tween the two extremes. Until the Republican
party have tested their strength on every available
man, they will stand firm, but they must ultimately
give their support TO the best man they can get
Who is an opponent Of the present Administration,
and that man will be the choice of the National
American members,

Libel Suit.

A libel suit was lately instituted by Mr..
Fletcher against MIR. Norton, for reproaching
the motives of the former gentleman in pub.
fishing a life of Judson the Burmat Mission
airy, without The consent OF Mrs. Judson, and
in fact against her remons,rance. But Mr..
Norton was acquitted, and Mr.. Fletcher will
continue TO publish that edition of Judson's
life which seems the more fair and impartial
OF the two. II would certainly be strange if
only one edition and one version of a mans
life could be published. and even tina, one
the product of his family and friends. The
public have a right 10 an impartial report of
all things. Il appears from this controversy
that Mrs. Judson was offered $4,000, fi
DR.. Waylaud's life of her husband, and that
her share of the profits was $4,000 when
Fletcher's life of Jueson was undertaken. 1t
is SAID that her property from MIR. Judson and
Otherwise amounted 10 $4,000 more.

which pubic services they rendered a large

PHILADELPHIA PoLfrIcs.-The old line reg
ular Wings of Philadelphia have completely
separated from the new Know-Noihing par.
ly, and formed a separate lhicket. When
tie roll of delegates was called, each mem.
Der of the Convention had 10 pledge his
honor that he did not belong 10 any secret
political organization, commonly called the
Know-N Nothing Order, TO which such replies
as 81 do not"--s' do not and never WHIP
"I did, but thank God 1 don't now" &C.,
were given. Several nominations were ma de,
and a committee of superintendent appoin-
ted, with full power ITO place such names
on the Wing ticket as they, in their judge
ment, may deem advisable ; provided, a va
cancy should occur by resignation or other.
wise" Another Wing Convention, chiefly
of members OF the new order, has
also nominated Ticket, which is said 10
the same names thai have been pla-
ced in nomination by the Know Nothing
party in their secret lodges1.or councils. The
regular old Democratic Party have also nom
mated a full ticket. Their members had TO
take an oath that they did not belong 10 thu
new party. Altogether there will be very
exciting times in the city OF brotheriy love
