The following amusing specimen of the
ignorance that prevails in Europe on
American affairs is taken from leading
French journal. 1t is hardly necessary to
inform the American reader that the soub-
riquet, of Black Republican" has been
taken by the French editor in a literal sense,
and that Mr. Banks and all his supporters
are thought to be men of color
1.-The new President of The Chamber of
Representatives in the United States, Mr.
Nathaniel Banks is negro belonging to
the delegation from Massachusetts,. In the
double capacity of negro and AbOlitionists.
Mr.. Banks has created profound aversion
among the Representatives from the
States of the South. His election was a
check to the Democrats and Know Moth
ings.
Mr.. GiddiDgs. another negro from Ohio
and the Dean La doyen) of the members
present administered the oath to Mr.. Banks.
In the face of the part played by the in-
telligent negroes in the legislative assem-
bly, how long wil'is be that the great Re-
public can maintain slavery in one half oi
its States?
We would further remark that the can
didate opposed TO Mr. Banks was sustained
by Know-Nothings or Demagogues, who
oppose both the emancipation of the slaves
and the paturalizationo of foreigners Their
candidate only failed by three votes but
we now learn this party has elected the
Clerk, who is the second parsonage of the
Chamber Of Representatives. Here, then,
is the close of these nominations, so long
disputed, which has ended in having the
legislative body personifed by negro and
Demagogue-"

The Perils Of the Ocean.

Within few days past large number Of
vessels have arrived at our Atlantic ports
after long passage, varying so to 1O7 days
from Europe. They all report terrific gales,
rude encounters with the ice-one vessel
counting 120 icebergs in thirteen hours,
besides much field ice. They have all
suffered greatly in spars and rigging, and
many of the hardy seamen were washed
overheard. without any possibility of saving
them, such was the continued tempestuous
state of the weather Besides these dan
gers. starvation thrertend to destroy what
the Storm King spared, and the crew OF
one ship subsisted for thirty days upon few
peas, doled out in small quantities from
limited supply on board-while they had
water everywhere. but not drop to drink
The feet also report speaking numerous
homeward bound vessels in disabled condi-
tions some of which would make for the
nearest ports for repairs

who seemed to claim the right to read out
OF that organization every man who would
not declare against agitating the subject
of slavery, that he regards free thought
and free discussion upon all great cues
tons rs the vital idea of true American
independence
Mr.. Marshall said that lie had not as.
sumed for the American party that GEN
tlemen had not the right to entertain and
express what opinions they might think
proper. he had spoken of the American
party as a political organization, and would
not say that he did not recognise all per-
sons as belonging to that organization un-
less he subscribed to the sentiments
which they had published to the country.
Mr.. Cobb said that the gentleman from
Ohio had referred to his past record
That record was perfectly satisfactory to
him he had discussed it often, and vim
dlcated 1t to his own satisfaction and that
OF his constituents. If it should become
necessary ne was prepared to do so again.
Mr.. Campbell begged the gentleman to
understand that he merely desired to show
thatif he and those acting with him should
violate the constitution, they would have
his authority for so doing.
Now, we should like to know when and
where Gov. Cobb ever discussed this record
IN regard to his vote restricting slavery in
Texas? We have lived in the same town,
IN the same Congressional District, ever
since the vote was given, and this is the
first time we have heard of his referring
to it 1t is true that he has frequ emily
attempted to explain away the force of
his vote for the "Wilmot proviso' in the
Oregon bill, but that was not half such an
outrage against the South as this Texas
restriction. Oregon was territory, where
as Texas was not only sovereign State,
but an independent Republic

With due regard for their feelings, we
would most respectfully call the attention
of our whilom unterrifed brethren to the
following article. 1t cannot fail to be
seen that the intense Southern feeling
professed by the anti-Americans, with such
windy and dough-faced leaders as Doug
las, Cobb, Pierce, and others, is sheer
buncombe, and exercised only as means
to enable them ride into power There
is now but enc party in the Union that
can be said to be truly conservative, and
constitutionally true to all sections, and
that is the American Democratic party,
with Fillmore and Donelson as its stan
dard-bearers. Such a party cannot fail to
with intelligent men, who love
principle, and who have at heart the wei
fare of the whole country.
Washington telegraph., 1856-05-07

The Democrats always boast that Jeffer-
son was the founder of Democracy, and
upon whose principles the party still contin
ue to act. We most sincerely wish this was
the case. If they acted in accordance with
the written sentiments Of the sage of Mon
ticello. every Native American in the Union
would instantly rush to their ranks. Hear
what he says in his Notes on Virginia, "a
work well known to all real politicians y
''They (;he foreigners will bring with them
the principles of the government they have
imbibcd in early youth; or, if able to throw
the.- off, it will be IN exchange for an un-
bounded licentiousness, passing. as is usual,
from one extreme TO another. 1t would be
a miracle were they to stop precisely at the
point of temperate liberty Their princi-
pies, with their language, they will trans
init to their children. In proportion to
their number, they will share with US in
legislation. They will infuse it into their
spirit, warp and bias its direction and rem
der it heterogeneous, incoherent, distract
ed mass. l may appeal to experience, du-
ring the present contest, for a veriication of
my conjectures, but. if they are not certain
in event, are they not possible-are they
not probable? Is it not safer to wait with
patience for attainment of population desir-
ed or expected? May not our government
be more homogeneous, more peaceable,
more durable?" Thus We find that Mr..
Jefferson was the founder of Native Amer
icanism as well as of Democracy.

While others prate of ~Peacel" Honor and Right
The flags protective pow wr.-these are his themes
And when. with burning words, he gives them

The pulses OF peoples viii are stirr'd.
As fierce winds stir the ocean to its depths
His counsels sage time fails not to approve:
The seas gain other SOW reigus and the name
Of proud Columbia brightens to a world
The dread of despots. but the hope Of man!
With the charrn'd utterance of compromise
He breathes spell. and civil discord ends;

The brave. the eloquent. the nations guide
He pleads for struggling Greece; and every sound
Is turned into sword. But for his voice,
The noblest river of this Western land
Oar own broad Mississippi-would have been
The claim of rival powers, and the source
Vi fierce contention and OF wasting wars.
So lived he on-the statesman and the sage.
And when the herald from the shining land
Appeared to claim him. firm at duty's post
The Christian Tribune pleading still was found
Pleading for Brotherhood and COMPROMISED
He passed from breathing dust to endless life
From earth's closed labors to supernal spheres!
Gone i. the peerless commoner self-made,
Whose acts were all of triumph; who, TO gain

Would ne,er forsake the right; and novv his praise
Falls from all lips in heartfelt gratitude.
