The statement that either of these returns are
to be found in the Auditors report, for that
year, is false. On the contrary, he positively
states the balance OF Saline Fund on hand No

A SMALL DoDGE.-The Douglas papers in
this State, being exceedingly hard up. are hair
splitting upon popular sovereignty. Every Re-
publican who admits the right Of the People
of the Territories, when applying for admis-
sion into the Union as States, to make their
own Constitution, 10 at once claimed as
Douglas squattsr sovereignty Democrat. No
one ever denied this right. 1t has remained in
practical force undisputsd for the last eighty
years. The Republican doctrine is the true
Constitutional doctrine, viz: That the Terrific
ries, while remaining in territorial condl-
ton are not soversignities-that they are in
capable of a single act of sovereignty. The
General Government has always sent them
Judges, Governors and other officials, and re-
vised their local legislation. They are in the
condition of minors and their first act OF soy
ereignity is that of forming their organic law

DEAR FURNAs:--
Since my last, several things have
come up reminding the forgetful that al
though calm reigns on the political sur
face, opposing parties still exist, who are
ready to try their strength and vitality,
and take the first opportunity to awaken
public spirit. Under such a system as the
present one, little occurrences have a
great deal of signiicance, from the fact
that both government and people consider
them as such.
You doubtless recollect that the repub-
lican party, at the late election, succeed
ed in electing seven of its candidates to
the Legislature. This body convened two
weeks ago, and intense interest was felt
as to the course the republican members
would pursue. Cavaignac was one of the
seven, but, as you know, he went down
to the grave but a short time before the
meeting of the Legislature, to the great
JOY of the Emperor who hated and feared
him, and was thus Unexpectedly relieved
of his a~pprehensions. OF the remaining
republican members, Messrs' Carnot and
Goudchaux refused to take the oath pre-
scribed, and, of course, they were denied
the right to a seat, and their elections de-
clared void by the President of the Legis-
lative body. But the four others, Messrs.
Henon, Cure, Olivier, and Darimon, took
the oath and their seats. Therefore we
now have, for the first time since the
coup d'etdt, an organized republican oppo-
sition in the Legislature, The repub-
hcans elected are men of ability who will,
in every favorable opportunity stand up
in behalf of their party and dispute the
ground inch by inch.
Then we have next two other events
that have produced considerable sensation,
evidencing, a they did, more fear on the
part of the government than it would be
wise to show. j ellude to the warning ia
the journal lie Spectator and the suspen-
sion for two months of the journal Ia
Presse. The warning given to the frst
above named paper had its cause in an
apparently very inoffensive article from
the pen Of Mr.. Amedee Achard, one Of
our ablest~ feuiletonists. There was moi
In the whole article a word against the
government, neither were democratic
principles upheld, nor republican senti,
ments expressed; but the writer spoke Of
the financial crisis and fits effects on the
poor, of its disastrous consequences and
painted the ~sufferings Of the unemployed
working classes, exposed to want. cold
