SIGNS OF RavoIUTroN M FURopE

The number Of secret societies in France
snd the persistancy Of their projectors,
evading all tho rcpressive efforts Of Louis
Napoleon. show II deep and wide spread
disatfsction to his government. Close OBJ
servers consider France as sleeping OH
volcano. To what extent the French En-
peror may rely OH the obedience and devo-
tion of Ills troops will depend, Of course,
on the fact. whether this spirit of dlsatfec.
ton has entered tho army. He continues
to shower on it rewards and distinctions, to
secure its allegiance.
The unquict state of Italy has close
connection with the present internal condi-
tion of France. Should there exist a well
planned conspiracy to overthrow established
authority among the dsnff.cled classes in
the French empire, its execution would
form the rallying cry Of the revolutionary
party OF Italy. SO soon rs an enaeute takes
place i'll Paris, Which menaccs the govern
,nent, it will be the signal for kiulline
throughout 1,aly an insurrec,ionary spirit,
before which the Neapolitan and Roman
power will qunil. Sardinia will, in all like.
llhood, give momentum to this movement
after it has received its impulse from the
French capital.
10 what extent it will involve Europe,
will depend on the force of resistance and
repression that is likely to bc applied for
this purpose by the great ahsolulist powers.
1t is questionable whether Austria and
Russia will sympa,hise, as they did in the
Hungarian instruction. Ii the govern
lncnt of Louis Napoleon is dsa,mvd hy a
French outbreak, the Emperor of Aus,ri:,
will he left alone in her efforts to suppr.ss
revolution in Italy. Everything will de-
pend of course, MS the first step, on the
ability OF the malcontcnls in France to Or
ganze m opposition which will sweep away
the uSurpation Of Louis Napoleon.
There are signs from the materials of
which the secret societies in France are
composed, not in the capital merely, but in
the Provinces, that another revolution will
bo more radical than that OF lS4S. The
worst doctrines of commutlisln-of spolia-
ti"n-of insane democracy y-havc been pro-
fessed hy the leaders in these secret soce-
ties. The rcactonary influence NAV not be-
~ effectual again rs it was then, in restraint
OF the ultra democratic tendencies of that
period. As bad as Louis Napoleon's gov
ernment is, it's continuance is rather to he
wished than the prcdominance O. such nm
archIcal doctrines as appear to form the
bond of union between the secret aSsocia-
tions which threaten TO suivert his au,hori-

DECIDEDLY RICH

The Caroli"a Times. speaking Of tho re-
cent ca"ng affair ut the Metropolitan Ho-
tel, New York, has the following:
1t will be remembered that IN account
OF Gaming ut the Metropolitan Hotel. by
Mr.. Flcks, wlio tlrssI,cd Stanwoutl scvereiv
appeared III our columns q few DAYS since
Connected with Mr.. Vlcks, we ave Il tale
to unfold which will make the :.Lolitionists
OF Philadelphia feel very chcap.
1t seems .ha. when Mr.. Viyks WAS about
to leave No'th Carolina in company with
AIR. Haywood ON Northern pleasure tour,
iie WAS requested by tile State authorities
to take with him Il negro who had been
sentenced to banishment from North Caro-
Ina for glaring outrage upon the laws OF
that State. Mr.. V. consented, aud on his
arrival at tho Hotel in Philadelphia he
registered his nane Vicks and servant
Soon after, the Abo!itionis,s appeared and
used every persuasion to induce the negro
to abscond; and he Informed Mr.. V. that
they had offered him $50 10 run off. Mr..
V. advised the boy TO demand 500. Tho
amount was paid and the punished negro
who WAS taken TO the North to he left there,
received aid unexpectedly and is now resi-
ding among class of people altogether

The fREsIDENcy

Ih' canvass for Presidency is waxing
warmer and warmer; politicians, wire
workers and stump orators, arc busy
throug hout the length and breadth Of the
lane, pressing the claims Of the various
candidates upon the suifrages of the public.
Whilst the friends and admirers of BUcn.
ASAN would make his sublime head strike
the stars; the partisans of FILLMORE and
FREMONT. with equal zeal, laud their virtues
and qualifications, and would eternise their
names by enrolling them among the Presi-
dents OF tho Republic. How this contest
is to cventuate, tho ken Of the shrcwdest
intellect cannot now foretcll; from the
present aspect Of parties, it is, however, very
probable that the election may Le thrown
into the House, and in such an event, the
chances would be greatly in favor of FIRE.
MONT tho candidate Of the Black Rcpubli-
can party.
There being three candidates in the field,
and tho constitution requiring majority of
the whole to elect, it will be seen ut once
how probable the chances are for the cleo
ton to be thrown into the House. In such
an event, we say, Fremont may be elected,
taking as a criterion the voto given to
BANKS for Speaker. There has not been.
nor perhaps will be, any change in the sen-
tments of the members of the House since
that election, and should that body be called
on to decide the contest, tho following may
be the result as surlniscd hy the Boston
Post:
For Fremont - Connecticut Indiar.a,
Maine, Massachusetts,, Michigan, N Hump
shire, New jersey, New York. Ohio, Penn
sylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and Wis
consin-l3.
For observation-disclosures, Arkansas,
California, Florida. Georgia, Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi, North Carolina, South Carolina
and Virginia-lO.
For fflimore-Dclawarc, Kentucky,
NJ ,ryland, Missouri and Tcnnessce-5.
1t will be readily perceived that with
such vote, giving him decidedly tho adj
vantage, Fremont would eventually be
elected; and if such should BE- the result,
what prophet can foretell the consequences I
y renegade from his country anal an apos-
tate from his religion, what could the South
reasonably expect from him, but injustice {!
We verify believc that if the election Of
fRsMoHT does not lead to an Immediate
revolution in our country, it will at least
hasten the dissolution OF tho Union. and
with It, almost as n natural consequence,
the horrors OF fratricidal war.

ERSKINE COLLEGE.

We learn from the Telescope that the
Annual Commencement Of ;hat College
will take place on the 18th of August; !;
upon which occasion, ten orations will be
delivered by the graduating class. Rev.
a. II. LESTER, we'll known in this commu-
nifty as talented gentlemen, will deliver
an address, on the evening previous, to the

ternoon, the exercises will be closed with

]. C. FREMONT.

The friends Of this notorious parsonage,
it seems, are determined to leave no stone
unturned 10 secure his election, and through
out the realms Of Black Rcpublicanism,
peans are sung to his praise, whilst m en-
thnsiasm prevails worthy better cause and
leader. The Inconsistencies and ouaIifca-
tons of tho man arc explained away and
overlooked in the struggle for victory. II
successful, plant tool in the hands Of his
party, he will obey its mandates and sane
ton every act Of injustice against his native
country, OF, perhaps, like another Corioa-
nus, lead his victorious bands into our midst.
At least, we think nothing moro could be
expected from man who has so utterly
abandoned his country and her institutions,
and placed himself at the head of party
in direct antag 'nism to every thing South
ern.
The Washington Union regards FRE-
MoST's chances Of success as exceedingly
slim, however, and terms him bundle Of
mysteries, and says:
ut is IL mystery where Col. Fremont was
born how he WIS educated, whether for n
Catholic priest or Protestant clergyman {:
whether he is the real conqueror of Cali.
fornin or only pretender; whether he is
the greatest adventurer and explorer of the
Rocky mountains, or whether Kit Carson
is not entitled to that honor; whether hs is
more Know-Notlihg than Black Rcpubli-
can, or whether he Is either; whether he is
the richest man in the world, or whether
Mariposa is worth anything; whether hs is
the real candidate for the Presidency, or
whether he is not in fact Jessie 1t is a
mystery how he was ever thought of or
Dominated for the Presidency, aud equally
q mystery how any sensible man can
think that he has any chance for an elsc.

that a!l differences between YOU and him
sell had been adjusted that he (Mr. Bur-
l'nSame) had re-opencd tho matter, as YOU
supposed tor personal difficulty, and that
you wero anxious to have it ended without
delay. He replied, "That is tie feeling of
gallant man, and Brooks is brave man"
That he would have to look out for n friend.
and had none III his mind Mt that time, and
perhaps he could not bc ready for meet
ing at as early an hour rs you requested.
also impressed upon him the necessity of
eLt're secrecy save with his friend; and
further requested that he or his friend would
communicate with me at my seat while the
House was in session, or at INV room after
its adjournment; and, as he had the right
OF selecting the place for the meeting, and
such other arrangements rs arc usual upon
sncl, occasions, TINT he would have tho
kindness to let me know, Mt rs carly an
hour rs was convenient, when and where
and what IL wOuld he last ava,,;ror ohout
eleven o'clock, the enclosed note from Mr..
Buringame was placed in my hand by the
Hon. L. D. Campbell. The place of meet
ING designated in said note is 80 far distant,
and would suhject you to 40 many hazards
OF arrest, and also to jurisdiction without

your friend, I advise you, without hesita-
ton, to take no further notice of the mat
ter.
