Rreadstuffs Abroad.

Breadstuffs Abroad.
Among the various significant articles which have
appeared since the peace has become fixed fact,
of those referring to the future prospects OF the
grain market are at present not without interest,"
The following from the commercial article OF the Pa
rs Presse is especially worthy OF attention
Breadstuffs of every kind are declining, owing
to the fine appearance of the crops that have been
laid In as well as the fact that the conclusion Of
peace makes us look forward with confidence to the
speedy arrival of abundant supplies from abroad Ii
france is not obliged this year to purchase largely in
THE United States to make up the deficit in her cere-
ais, money will not fail 10 be easy, and American
merchants will have pay cash for goods in
stead of sending US breadstutfs as heretofore
The chances are very strong that France will not
be obliged to purchase very largely this year in the
United States In the first place, there is every pros
pect that France will have large crop of her own ;
for rather than pay such prices as have been asked
for American breadstufs she has taken the wise pre-
caution, we learn from the French papers, Of plant
ing Unprecedented amount of All of the
foreign markets will be thrown open and there will
be less disposition to hoard up beadstus, that
there is no chance Of famine. Many of the Nor
thern ports said contain large supplies which
have been quietly held back, and though the recent
statements of the Augsburgh Journal must in this
particular be taken with allowance, still have
fair ground for inferring that there will be full sup
ply for time.
Yes. American merchants will have this year to
France as heretofore. 1t was within the bounds of
possibility to have shown some moderation in our
price OF breadstufs, and to have laid the basis of
durable and extensive trade in this line. But no
farmers and spectators must needs hold on in the
hope of realizing fortune, and have such ex-
ample that if France OF Europe looks 10 Us for
extensive supplies of corn grain, when IA er-
tremas, it can only be by miracle.
Gov. Reedcrs appointment.
gentleman in Virginia calls attention to the
| fooE a..
lay considerable stress upon the appointment of Gov
ernor Reeder proof of his willingness to favor
free sellers, and asks whether at the time of his
appointment Gov. Reeder not regarded
sound national democrat. 1t is in our power TO an
swer this question with entire confidence and to say
that down to the time that Gov. Reeder went to Kan
to the duties of governor of the Terrific
~ there had not been, far heard, faI
the President ever heard breath Of suspicion as
to his entertaining free-soil abolition sentiments
He Was appointed under the strongest assurances
that he was strictly and honestly national man
We are able TO stale, further, very reliable author
lty, that whilst Governor Reeder in Wash
lngton, at the time OF his appointment, he cOnversed
with southern gentlemen the subject of slavery and
he assured them that he had scrupe in buying
slave than horse, and he regretted that he haC
not money TO purchase a number of slaves 10 carry
with him to Kansas. We have understood that he
repeated the same sentiments on his way to Kansas
We will repeat what we have had occasion to say
more than once heretofOre-that no man has ever
been appointed by President Pierce 10 office who was
not at the time understood by him TO be faithf a
adherent of the Baltimore platform of 1852 on the
SUBJECT OF slavery. # any appointments were made
contrary TO this rule it done under a misappre
henslon as to the positions of the appontees. We
may add that the evidences of Gov. keeder's sound
ness strong that President Pierce was slower
han many others to believe him free soier after hi
lad gone to Kansas. 1t is, therefore, the crosses
INJUSTICE to refer to Gov. Reeder's appointment al
Proof of the Presidents willingness to favor free
oilers. Washington Union.

That eagles own feather to guide its barbed sting,
So the pen that stops the French eagles career,

Look at Home.--The treaty of peace provides, it il
i'd, for the maintenance of the integrity of the OF
man Empire, but that empire includes so many
Pgues in the shape of dishonest pachas. that thu
ct OF its integrity seems questionable. Whilst en-
eavoring to secure the integrity of Turkey, WI

HI Of Piece.-We cannot help feeling that il
the conduct of the war, and in the conclusion of tn
peace, have not had much reason to boast; TO
we have been waeful in the former and early le

pen we have not proved ourselves to be pennywise
while in our waste of the materials of war, hav
been more than pound foolish.
Merely an Opinion.-It has been remarked tina
