saw two wagons. ladened with sugar,
tuggipg along; the mules, in a most
disgraceful and horid aight-the hair
worn off their baeks-poor and half
starved creatures. and blood trickling
down their sides from many wounds.
We had mind to stop the driver and
enquire, who and what manner Of

meets our unqualified endorsement, as

PREsroN PoxD.-Pond sets on the
clouds, rattles the thunders thereof,
and scatters the ligh,ning-Pond
speaks with the eloquencs Of Cicero.
and the vehemencc Of Dsmosthenes.-
To an audience Of American citizens,
he can paint the genins and spirit Of
Republican institutions in rainbow co.
lors and burnish them in language Of
refined gold. The labeled heroes
gods and demi-gods of tho olden time,
appear in youthful robes at his com.
msnd-At one moment he may be
seen riding on the wings Of time at
another, he may be seen driving his
chariot around the great strands Of
eternity. The fire Of his genius, seems
to have been kindled by the Illiad Of
Homer and frightened into light and
life by the genius Of Shakspeare-His
discourse from beginning to end. re.
sembles q city Of gold built on noun
tain Of diamonds. It mattelJ little
whether Pond is Wing. a Democrat

The first reason that | shall offer for

that the English language should have
an alphabet Of its own, or one adapted

which are 43 in number.

guage by the position Of the Anglo
Saxon, among the other nations of
the earth; and by those scientific,
artistic, moral, philosophical and the

accumulated; as well as by those in
prospect which the high natural en-.
dowment. the thorough cultivation
and increasing individual develop
rnent Of this astonishing people, gives
promise Of. entities it to an alphabet
Of its own. But when we consider
the intrinsic excellence Of the language
itself; which, sustained by the in.
domisable energy, and carried forward
by the unmatched and incompatible
enterprise Of Anglo Saxondom, bid
fair, ere long to make it the one Ian.
guage Of Universal Man upon whom
it will then pour forth its exhaustless
treasures Of knowledge, liberty, re-.
ligion and love; we surely may ask
for it, if not an alphabet Of its own, at
least one, competent to represent its
elemental sounds, which are 43 and
Of course will require an alphabet of

to believe that any obscure prelate
elected by convention Of bishops to
occupy the chair Of St. Peter, is q

when perhaps the man SO chosen, can
not tell the name Of his grand father.
Royalty must be kept from base con-
tact. or presently the ignorant multi
tude will begin to think that tho red
fluid-common to all animals-called

body Of one man than another. The
following extract from a foreign CT
change goes to show how things will
get mixed occasionally, which should
be incompatibles and have no affinity ::
ANOTHER ALLIANCE WITH FRANCE.
"A Paris letter writer says:
Speaking Of matrimony. people say
now (tbrough this report has already
been in circulation before) that NJ. de
Morny is about to marry a young
American lady without fortune. The
anteccdents Of NJ. de Morny are al
ready known toyou. He is generally
regrded as the son of Queen Hortense,
the mother Of Napoleon III. He exc.
cuted tho coup d'eiat of the End of
December. He was at that time Min
lister Of tho Interior. He retired from
this place through dissatisfaction at
the DEGREES which impoverished the
family of Orleans. He has become
President the second time Of the
Chamber of Deputies. He has a for.
tune Of fifteen millions Of fracs, acquir>
ed in speculation, and which he is dis.
posed, as it is said, notwithstanding his
former bachelor connexions with the
court, to give to this young and Oh.
scure American lady. He is encoura.
ged in this step by the success Of the
Emperor, who has pro6ted much, as !
have aleady said, by what was regar-
ded as an unworthy a!Iience."
