Female Beauty.

The "Attache in Madrid thus discourses on
the comparative beauty and style Of the French,
English, and Spanish ladies :--"As general
impression, should say that there is more
beauty, both of face and figure, to be seen here
than in any other capital; that the toilette in
Paris is more tasteful, in London less So
In London there is, perhaps, greater air Of
high breeding in the higher circles, but in
comparably less grace. No such feet and
figures were ever seen at St. James, nor, in
spite of all the accessories of dress, at the
Tuilleries. A French woman and graceful
tournure is the result of art, education and the
toilette. An English woman's elegance pro-
ceeds from her high breeding and pur sang;
but the grace of the Spanish woman is pure
nature. No where can such eyes be seen as
in Spain, where for size, color, or expression
AS an English woman advances in years, she
generally grows thin; the Spanish sonora is apt
to become unwieldy; the one contracts, the
other expands; and the expansion system,
though it must be inconvenent, preserves the
beauty of the face to a later period of life."

SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH, as 1856
From the Washington Union OF March
ID, Is56-Its "sTRICT NEUTRALITY -
"THE PRESIDENCYn

ut is proper for us to remind
our readers that we have adopted
the policy of abstaining from all
discussion in the UNION OF the
relative claims of the several De-
mocrats whose names are spoken
OF in connection with Presiden-
tial nomination. We allude to our
policy on this subject that the nu-
merous friends who have address
ed to us communications advoca-
ting the nomination of different
gentlemen as candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice President may un-
derstand why we have been una
able to insert their favors. When
the nominations are made we shall
be prepared to sustain them with
our best eXertions. Until that
time, the UNION will adhere to its
past course of strict neutrality as
to men, looking alone to the main
tenance of the great Democratic
principles on which the next battle
is to be fought

Resolution of the Democratic Convention
in BERKELEY COUNTY, VIRGINIA, which the
Washington Union refuses to publish
"ResolUed, That the Democratic
party, being consistently a national

discountenances all suggestions
that would seek to give to one can

upon the ground that he is from

UnlOn-AND THAT WHILST THE
Hon. JAMES BUCHANAN OF PENN
SYLvANIA is DECIDEDLY OUR
CHOICE FOR THE PRESIDENCY, we
stand pledged to give our warm
and cordial support to the nomi-
nees of the Cincinnati Convention,
we care not from what State they
may be selected, requiring how
ever Of them, that they shall be
true to the Constitution GIN ALL
ITS ToTALITY"'-faithful to ALL
its guarantees, as well those which
secure freedom of religion and
equality of citizenship, as those
which protect our own property
from the plunderer and the robber.
Resolu,r,n from MACON COUNTY, TENNESSEE
showing the "strict neutrality" Of the Wash
ington Union:
" Re8olUed, That we have an
abiding confidence in the admins
tration of Franklin Pierce; that
his course upon all national ques-
tions has been truly patriotic, sus-
tanning and carrying out the doc
trine of State sovereignty as laid
down and approved by Jefferson,
Madison, and the immortal Jack
son, and their compatriots."

/. Chss. II. Taylor read a resolution inviting
all National Wings and lovers of their whole
country, not now in the Democratic fold, to
unite with the Democracy.
In answer to the call, DIR. G. l.. Henderson,
q gentleman well known to the people of
Western Michigan, gave in his adhesion to the
Democratic party. His remarks were received
with much applause, and demonstrations Of
JOY.
I. Fl. Lyon urged that the democracy go to
work. Their enemies were working in the
dark. Work in the daylight, but work. work
work. '--'.~'-'a
John Clancy spoke his sentiments. He did
not seem to have very great attachment to the
Know-nothings.
Judge Almy made few remarks. He
thought that the time for action had now ar
rived.

the gentlemen whom it seems he has so grossly
deceived. Suffice it to say, the junior remains
as firmly installed as if he had the high per
mission Of his Excellency and the pledge had
neuer been made!
We refer to these matters to show what
chronic, and we apprehepd incurable, case our
neighbors are, and how constitutionally impos-
sible il seems to be for either themselves or
their master to keep promise at all!
We refer to it, also, for the purpose Of pre-
senting, with more force, this last most bare
faced violation of the spirit and letter Of its
"strict neutrality" resolves
Open, then, reader the Washington Union Of
Tuesday last, and you will find t,oo columns of
editorial, embracing nearly the whole supply of
that issue, devoted TO the advancement of
Franklin Pierce. Not only this, but one
column is taken from the Mobile Advertiser,
advocating this distinguished gentleman for
denomination, and is inserted in editorial type!
There is nothing about James Buchanan-not
eeen the Berkeley resolution. Nothing about
Judge Dougas-nothing of Mr.. Hunter--in-
deed it studions!y avoids mentioning his name,
which is surely ungrateiul in our neighbors at
this time. Oh me, the strict neutrdlity which
it had SO piousy marked out for itself, and
which is offered as an apology for the suppress
sion of communications advocating the claims
of the several prominent statesmen, whose
names may be before the Cincinnati Conven-
rbap ha nr
Franklin Pierce! 1t is against the spirit and
letter of its pledge to be strictly neutral to
publish simple resolution commendatory of
James Bucbanan-but it is no riolation at all
to publish those in favor of Franklin Pierce |!
Ii is no violation of its STRICT NEUTRALITY
to lead the editorials of other papers in favor
of Franklin Pierce, and never to transfer to
its columns one of the thousands of editorials
in favor Of Buchanan, Douglas, Hunter, Bright.
or Rusk
Such is the position of the Washington
Union--such is the record of its continual
and habitual faithbreaking-such the mean-
choly record of the same absence of that
noblest Of all human qualities fidelity to sacred
promises-of its Master and Chief! How far
| we might extend the record, we well know but
IT is no labor of love to US to make ont so
gloomy catalogue. Pride of country and
pride Of party unite TO forbid it, and our own
heart sickens at its contemplation.

Arrest Of Capt. Adams at NORFOLK.

The Norfolk Neius states that on Sunday
collector Sawyer received despatch from Sec
retary Marcy, directing him to have j. G..
Adams, captain of the American ship John
Cummings, arrested on the charge of having
fred upon And killed one of the crew of his
vessel some eighteen months since while taking
in q load of guano at the Chincha Islands. The
occurrence, it will be remembered, produced
deep excitement at the time in Peru, and Capt
Adams narrowly escaped with his life by the
prompt and firm interposition Of the American
companied to sea by the United States frigate
Independence, for the purpose of security. 1t
is understood that the Peruvian Government
has complained to our Government in relation
the alleged offence, and has made it a national
question. Capt. Adams has been arrested, as
requested by Mr.. Marcy, and held in $4,000 to
appear in Norfolk for examination.

NAVAL NKws-An officer on board the
United States ship Macedonian, under date Of
Hong Kong, January 18th, says:
The Vandalia is just down from Annoy, and
will sail soon for Manila. The movements oi
the Macedonian are not yet certain. When
this reaches you, both ships will have been
absent from the United States over three years
and the terms of service of all their origina
crews must have then expired, and they, with.
out exception, will be receiving the one-quartel
additional pay allowed to men kept over their
time.
The Macedonian started from the United
States with two hundred and seventy souls on
board-but now, Notwithstanding she has beer
constantly recruiting her crew by new enlist
ments, she has but two hundred and twenty
aboard. The deficiency is to be accounted fol
by deaths, desertions, and the number invalided
home. Twenty-Five deaths have occurred, and
about so inyalided and returned to the United
States
