When Gen. Cass seeks to make capital
by declaring that 10 vessel bearing the
American flag shall be visited by officers
of foreign vessels, he fails i'll his object,
and only succeeds in making himself ridi-
culous. That pirates, slave traders, and
all other classes of outlaws who infest the
ocean, can sail with impuni'y by simply
raising the American flag, is an absurdity
that would be advanced by no government,
unless it was at the very low ebb that now
distinguishes the Buchanan Cass apology
for an administration.

his throne by the Black Republicans of

Car resolved to die? Should he retrace
his footsteps and abandon his policy he
would have to give the lie to a reign of
thirty years. Should h, persist in carry

what he could not ask for without loss of
honor, viz, peace, his successor might

tained from his physician, who had previ'
ously resisted for two months, dose OF
poison strong enough to kill him, but weak
enough to allow him to live few hours af-

Petersburg on the 18th of February, hav-
ing obtained from the Emperor declara-
ton in writing which made him safe at all
points. On the morning of the 18th the
Emperor swallowed the poison, after which
he sent for the Grand Duke Alexander,
(now Emperor,) and told him ALL The
latter would have cried out for help, but the
Emperor prevented him by an order so po-
sitive that, as a son and subject, he could
not disobey his father and his sovereign
Then the Emporer explained to him in de-
tail the motives which induced him to take
this heroic step. The young prince, bro
ken hearted, the tears streaming from his
eyes, his utterance chicken by sohs, listen
ed to tho dreadful narrative on his knees,
and clasped his hands exclaiming, my
father my father" The Emperor would
not allow him to quit his side until he had
obtained from him solemn promise to let
death take it's course without attempting to
stop it. But the instant the young prince

February, 1855. At the same instant Rus

policy.
