Of a very moderate character, but his Ma. rstv
is said to have determined upon high course

perhaps stimulated by the belief that Louis
Napoleon would be no less frightened than
himself, at the prospect Of revolution in
Italy: and that under these circumstances,
coupled with financial distress in Paris, there
is no reason to apprehcnd anything beyond

the combined fleets are to cruise off Naples,
they shall not approach close to the city, as

MAuRITIUs. There are now in this colony
no less than 100000 coolies, transported
thllhcr as laborcrs. During the last three
years the annual supply has ranged from H.
600 to 10000, and no difficulty has been ex.
pcrlcnced in hiring out the men at five rupees
a month besides ratons. Owing to the in
dusty of these lahorcrs, the sugar crop of
the Mauritius has been raised from seventy
millions of pounds to two hundred millions -
Hitherto the immigrants have been exclusive
ly males. as Indian women of decent station
have prejudice against leaving their country.
In consequence of this a new arrangement has
been adopted, by which onc-tourth of the
immigrants must be females. and the pro-
portion is to be gradually increased.

Hon. W. f. Gladstone alluded to the cause

Can we think of what happened in the
United States of America without detecting a
special design in all these doings1 Look to
her immense growth ofpopula'ion, even with.

America, that young and infant nation. is
now the first maritime power on the face of

States multiply faster than they can he count

ANCIENT CANOE DISCOVERED. Three fish
ermen at Asnieres, France, have discovered
an ancient canoe buried beneath sandbank
in the river. From its form it is supposed
that it was used by the Normans in their in
vasion of Paris. 1t is an immense trunk of
oak, about eighty feet long, followed out and
capable of hodins sixty men. 1t is well
known that the Nornans. in addition to their
large wickerwork boats, had other very long
ones for purposes of war, formed of hard
wood, and it is supposed that this is one of
them. There is a striking resemblance be-
tween this and the Larks of the pirates of the
ninth century.

OLD Cecil, ALL RlGnr.-We congratulate
the gallant Americans of Cecil on their victory
over the combined factions which made dip
The Buchanan opposition. Against their hes
of Fillmoro's abolilionism, against their
money, against their hordes of illegal votes
against the panic which had seized many of
our friends. our party stood up and secured
an ample majority to show that Old Cecil is
American in her principles beyond dispute
All surrounding circumstances were against
us but we triumphcd over locotocoism, over
fcreignism and their allies and saved the
county true to the cause of .Amcricanism.
The villainous and false accusation. of abo-
litionism against Mr.. Fillmore lost US some
votes among men who are attached to the
American cause and who will stand by it in
the future. Our people are jealous on this
question and we shall find no fault with those
WHO were led off by the pressure of the IN
founded charges made by the enemies of Fill
more.
Many voters who are favorable to the cause
of IAmcricanism, voted for Buchanan under
the impression that Fillmore had no chance
Lct none such be chidcd-thcy will be with
MS in our State and county battles next fall
when such an influence cannot prevail.
The locofocos foreign party never can make
such an effort in the county again. Next fall
we shall meet them with equal advantages,
and as We beat them on this occasion we will
have all easy victory then.
They were confident of beating US in the
county this time. They are now saying they
will annihilate us, srample us down, root us
out-at the next election. Boys do you
hear that ! Shall Americans rule America
or Shall that party rule it. which boasts it
rules it alone through the strength givenit by
foreigners We trust the answer 10 the
American men of Cecil county as they shall
give it year hence.

THE ELEcTIoN.--We give this week the
result of the election of Tuesday far enough
to show that Mr.. Buchanan is elected by the
people. This is a result we did not expect,
and which We regret. We regret it for all
the various reasons we earnestly urged
against its realization during the campaign.
Having honestly opposed him as far as our
ability permitted, we are now ready to stand
by the President elect. as good citizen
ought, in all his acts that tend 10 the benefit
of the country.
1t is matter of pride to the American
party of Maryland that our good old State
has redeemed all its pledges and stood nobly
up for the man who was the Model Prcsi-
dent'-for American principles and for the
Union against the Sections of the Union.-
Here in Maryland we have grand rsllying
point for the Union men-thc conservative
men ofthe country, and the nucleus ola party
which is bound to succeed. Americans Shall
rule America, and though defeated now we
will return to the conflict sure of ultimate
and complete success. The American party
is the party of the Future. 1t is but in its
infancy now-it is certain to rise and assert
its power and assume dominion. Courage
then, friends. Like Washington, in the
Revolution, we may be forced to retreat
may be driven from field TO field, by foreign
hordes and domestic traitors, but the day of
freedom and victory will Ms surely come to
us as it came to him.

! MARYLAND.-The triumphant majority
for Fillmore in Maryland shuts the mouths oc
our locofocos here in the midst Of their re-
ioicings and rcvclry. We gave them a
thrcshing here, what ever may have been
done elsewhere, and they feel the blow Sc
vcrely. Husrah then for Maryland, and for
Old Cecil. They arc what is left to us, and
they are enough to sober down our adverse
RIGS at home.
