DrrERn1NArroN OF NAPOLEON TO CAnRY

DIFFERENTIATION OF NAPOLEON TO CARRY
ON THE WaR.-The Paris correspondent OF
the London Times writes:
at understand that the assurance was
again given to-day in an official quarter of
the resolution of this government to carry on
the war in the most vigorous manner IN the
event of Rnssia not acceding ID the PROPOSE
ton Of the Allies. 1t was repeated at the
same time that the Emperor Napoleon had
no Unsuitable desire forwar; on the contrary
he would feel as much satisfaction as any one
that the war should cease, but that he and
the English government were determined not
to abate one iota Of the terms on which
peace would be accepted, and that il, Russia
still held out she would soon see how two
such powers make war in the Baltic 1t was
not denied that there was still a glimmer Of
hope of peace, but yet admitted that . the
glimmer was very faint indeed, This does
not differ in any respect from what | have
more than, once described as, the disposition
of the French Government, but it is no harm
to repeat it each time that commensurate
ments appear in the Russian press of Belgi-
UNI and Germany"

The PARrY.-The party given by Mr.. and
Mrs. NATHAN II. WHITE, of this village, on
Friday evening last, is said to have been a
brilliant affair. We regret hat other previ-
GUS arrangements forbade our attendance. It
was just the assembly in which we should
have been delighted to have passed the eve
ning-a real New England, social gather
ing, without that aristocratic erclusioeness
which often renders our petty villages so un-
inviting to a stranger who may chance to
spend a few weeks or months therein.
The entertainment provided for the three
score guests present, most clearly demon
strates the liberality that is a characteristic
of Mr.. and Mrs. w, who, in the entire arrange
ment of the party, have given others of our
citizens, who are in the habit of inviting
guests, an example, which, if observed, will
do much toward promoting friendly inter
course and good feeling among citizens gen
orally, and renders a residence in our village
less Objectionable to strangers. -

of constitutional duty-of settling questions of

The announcement of the result produced much
excitement, and a number of delegates claiming
to represent the Northern and Western States
6olted from the Convention and net at the Mer-
chants Hotel where they organized by appoint
ing Tx Governor Ford, of Ohio, President.
The seceders adopted a short address, defining
their position, and recommended another conyen-
tion to be held, to meet in New York, on the 18th
of June next, TO nominate candidates for Pres-
dent and Vice President of the United States.
There forty one signers to the address. among
whom were the following from Pennsylvania,
Wm F. Johnston, Robert NJ. Riddle, S. G.. Kase,
T. j. Coffey, John Williamson and j. II. Sewell.
Notwithstanding new platform was adopted,
the abolition tendencies of some of the followers
Of SAM" led them to bolt and to denounc9 the
whole performance as entirely unsatisfactory.
Thus ends the first effort Of the new tangled
party tc enter the Presidential contest, but how
the difficulties with the boilers and black Repub-
Iican branch of the party, will terminate remains
to be seen. Tne nomination so far does not ap-
pear to be well received, but the Democracy in
their own time we opine will put candidate in
the field who will defy the whole combined power
