DEMONSTRATIONS IN New YoRK.-In New York,
one night, in the latter part of last week, they
had an imposing apotheosis Ofthe horrid crime
Of assassination, in the shape of popular tri-
butte to the memories of Orsini and Pierri, the
frustrated assassins of Louis Napoleon. To
read the accounts of the procession, the reports
of the speeches, calls to ones mind the red re-
publican orgies in the streets of Paris during
the revolution of '93.-when everything like
order, morals and rational decency was lost aud
swallowed up in that awful outburst of peut up
passion Italians and French, for the most part,
composed the meeting. The speeches were in
glorifcation of the mnrderous deed which had
been attempted, and assassination was openly
advocated as a means of avenging supposed
wrongs from rulers.
Ofcourse the people of this country, and the
better class of adopted citizens, have no sympa-
thy with such a meeting. On the contrary,
much rs they may despise the tyrant Napoleon,
and all the fraudulent appliances by which he
obtained and holds his power. they can never
and will never lend their countenance or sympa-
thy to such a cowardly deed as that attempted
by Orsini and Pierri.

The LABOR QusTroN IN THE SLAVE STATES
The German population of St Louis have con-
tributed very largely to the discussion of the
economical relations Of slavery, which is now
producing its legitimate fruits in the free labor
victories of Missouri. Wherever that class of
our foreign population settle, the same result
sill follow. Naturally of speculative turn of
mind, and disposed by character we'll cx-
perience, to dislike slavery in all its FORMS they
will discuss it wherever they are-and discus
sion is certain to end in public conviction of
its impolicy and its ruinous effects upon the So
ciety in which its exists.
The Germans of Texas, as our dersalready
know, are the open and zealous advocates of
free labor, and they are already so strong, as to
leave little doubt that, Wiener a new State shall
be formed in Western Texas, it will be free
State. In Baltimore German paper, called the
Baltimore Wicker, opposes slavery, and even
from New Orleans we receive the DeutScIe lei
ting, n daily journal which warmly commends
Senator Stewards speech on the Kansas contro-
versy, aud espouses the view which it presents.
1t commends the speech as having strongly and
boldly set forth the position and principles of
the north, without either insulting or offending
the south, and predicts that the struggle will be
carried to a cocusIon satisfactory to both sec
tons, if the ablcst and best men in both sections
will come forward candidly and fairly to its dis
cuSsion.-GMo. Democrat.

"By his side was the little coffin containing
the body of the statesman's grandchild, Mellow.
Ell Jones Each body was enclosed in an air
tight zinc case, which was laid within n inahog
any coffin. A lid was raised so as to allow
friends to look through a glass on the faces of
the dead. The face of the Great Missourian
wore that expression of majestic placidity which
was habituaI to him in life. The lips were
slightly open, the eyes closed, and every Inca
ment in the face in state ofrepose that indicat-
ed how gentle and peaceful had been the end of
the veterans stormy life. There was no discol.
Grafton or wrinkle to be seen, and the pesence
of death was visible only in the closed eyclids,
and the cold, white, marble-like appearance of
the features The grandehild lay as sweetly as
though only sleeping, with its little head cover
ed with golden hair, nesting amid white hya-
ciths and carly spring flowers, whose purity was
typical ofits own young spirit"

break in the levce just below the city as quite q

was gradually extending, but Col. HILBERT, the

G, &. McEatran is the largest sufferer, the wa
ter having run over nearly all the lowlands be-

chac. The people on the highlands are enleav-
oring to get their stock out of danger, but it is
feared large losses will be sustained in cattle,
hogs, Sleeps, etc.
Hundreds of acres of young cane are under
water, but experienced men say it will not be
Adestroyed if the water can be shut off within
the next three or four days. The cost of clo-
sing the break can at present be set down as at
eaast $50, 600; and ifiti not done speedily, too
the loss to,tte planters below will be hundreds
of thousands.
