which he failed to take at the food; and now,
as consequence, he leaves the country in dis
gust, desolate in heart, and goes to roam over
the earth without chart or compass. Well, the
disappointment and misfortune of an advocate
of the slave trade are not themes calculated TO
awaken pity. He who would trample upon the
dearest rights of human nature, and disregard
every human tie, can have no claim to human
sympathies.
But if the sanguine hopes of the Mobile
writer are to be realized, Mitchell will not stand
in need of our sympathies. He says:
whittier then does he go? i answer, to
France. And why? will explain. He hates
England, and yearns for the independence OF
Ireland Napoleon hates England too, and is
almost certain to wage war upon her. He can
aid his invasion vastly by revolution in Ireland
and with an such ally, Ireland would instantly
rise. But now Napoleon has a foreign legion.
He is a cosmopolite He welcomes and uses
all foreigners of talent and courage. He has
just made Marshal of France and Duke Of
General Mcmahon, an Irishman. There are
scores of Irish officers in his army. say, then,
that Mitchell goes to France, and his aim is
either to become, as Paris journalist stimu-
lator of the Emperor to a war with England,
and then as a soldier to flesh his sword in the
blood of Englishmen. / recommend him to
Napoleon the Third. Full of genius, and brave
as Zouave or Turco, John Mitchell may yet

JOHN mitchell.

An enthusiastic admirer Of John Mitchell, ex-
editor of the Southern Citizen, communicates
to the Mobile Mercury some interesting facts in
regard to that individual from which it would
appear that he left the country of his adoption
in no very amiable mood. The writer says
"The words Of Mitchell, which he once uttered
to me, were very pregnant ones, and / believe
that / violate no moral or social propriety in re-
peating them. In narrating his career he said
feel restless and unhappy. The hurricane
that has swept over my life has desolated my
heart. 1t was SO sudden, strange, that can
not accustom myself to its realities. In the
opening of successful career in my native
land / was cut down in moment feel like
a tree cut up by the root, and transplanted to
a strange SOIL
T" In regard to his career as a journalist in
this country, he said, The first week after
landed in New York, issued the first number
of the Citizen. 1t began its first issue with
circulation of one hundred and sixty thousand

ed me. But in few weeks the scene was

Slavery. They became very bitter enemies,
and labored earnestly to ruin me. Next came
the priests. gave them to understand that
did not care d-n for them and in a moment
the tremendous power of the Catholic priest
hood was arrayed against me. You have no
idea of the bitter hostility and diaboical mach
nations concentrated against me. Under these
Influences, all the Catholic Irish - my own
countrymen-were arrayed against me, and
also the Abolitionists. At the end of year, my
subscription list had dwindled down to eleven

No doubt the late bold advocate of the slave
trade and Southern rights curses his i'll
luck, that he did not listen to the overtures of
the Abolitionists or the priests, and the folly
which made him sigh for an Alabama planta-
ton stocked with fat negroes" That sigh was

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS IN ENGLAyD-Tba
London Times uses the following LANGUAGE IN
reply to the timid and sycophantic apologis,.
of Louis Napoleon:

a dignity that is older and greater than that Of
the Bonapartes:
" If we have said what is not true. that is

The total vote gives an apparent Democratic
majority in the State of 1922. But the result
Is no true test of the strength of parties. Rufin
had no opposition, and Branch and Winslow
next to none; SO that there was nothing to call
forth the Wing strength The gain of Mr..
Gilmer is remarkable. Two years ago, he was
elected by about 700 majority, with only his
Democratic competitor to contend with. In
the recent election, he had the same Demo
cratic opponent, together with rival Wing op-
ponent5 and the result is, that he beats both by
above 1900 votes.
The BuncOmbe district, formerly represented
by Mr.. Chngman, seems to have returned to the
Wing faith, from which that gentleman gradu-
ally seduced it into the ranks of the ultra Pro-
Slavery Democracy. Frem being the Gibraltar
OF Whggery, 1t became the stronghold of Sham
Democracy. We are gratified to find it return
ing to Conservatism, for Conservatism is a virtue
in the South.

Leach, who stands firmly by the same princi.

1t is believed that the triumph of Mr.. Vance
in the Buncombe district viii seriously damage
the prospects of Mr.. CEngman for the Senate.
1t was with reluctance that the old Democratic
leaders gave way to Mr.. c., and the accession
of strength which he brought to the party was
the sole reason for their forbearanee. That
strength now having been lost it is not improb-
able that he viii be thrown aside next year by

1t is due to the subscribers Of the National
Era to state that the paper viii continue TO be
edited and published under the provision made
by its late editor and proprietor, in view of his
intended absence in Europe.
The Era viii remain true to the principles it
has always advocated. Writers of eminent
ability will contribute to its editorial columns.
Its literary department viii be placed in able
hands, and no effort viii be spared to make the
paper as nearly as possible what it has always
been.
The value Of the National Era as the repre-
sentative of free principles at the National Cap
ita, and to the family of Its late editor as their
only available means of support, makes it my
imperative duty to continue its publication
without interruption.

The Souri, TO BE INvADEB.-The Cincinnati
Enquirer copies the following extract from a
letter from Milwaukee to the Charleston IS. CA
Ne1cs:
wisconsin will send delegation Of FIVE
hundred of her Democratic sons to ACCOMPANY
the delegates of the State Convention to be
chosen next month. These five hundred are
all Douglas Democrats. Minnesota sends a
delegation of three hundred Douglas men.
Michigan eight hundred, Iowa five hundred,
Ohio one thousand, Illinois fifteen hundred,
Pennsylvania one thousand, New York one
thousand, and nearly all the New England
States one thousand EACH"
If this statement can be relied on as true, it
would seem that the harmonious Democracy
expect hot work at Charleston. Can it be
necessary to send down such immense armies
to Charleston to protect Northern delegates in
the right of free speech? At this rate, Mr.. Doug
las viii have an army of ten thousand men at
Charleston; and we may take it for granted
that the chivalry viii muster in equal strength.
We suggest to the President that this extraor-
binary programme of a political Convention is
worthy the serious consideration of his Cabinet.
and we leave it for him and his legal advisers
to determine whether it is not proper to issue
proclamation forbidding the warlike assem-
blage.

ELECTION OF PRESIDENT BY THE
HOUSE OE REPRESENTATIVE

In the election of President and Vice Presi-
dent by the House of Representatives, the Con-
stitution requires that "a majority of all the
States shall be necessary to choice" The
equally divided representation of two or three
of the Southern States, between the Opposition
and the Sham Democracy, can in consequence
of this requirement make no difference in the
result supposing them to hold out for third
candidate. The Republicans, to elect must
carry majority of all the States There are
thirty-three States now in the Union; and it
will be necessary for seventeen of them to vote
for the same candidate, in order to insure his
success. If Kansas is admitted, eighteen will
be necessary to a choice. If no Southern State
will vote for Republican, it will not aid us for
them to stand of, as they viii still be. eounted
in, and Offset the vote of Republican State.
We have the faintest possible hopes that any
one of them will vote with the Republicans,
and there is apparently little chance fer success
in that body, unless they carry all the free
States in which elections are yet to take place,
viz : Minnesota, Kansas, and California, as well
as Oregon, about which there still remains
doubt.
About Minnesota and Kansas we Refao un-
easiness, and we have lively hope that the
Republicans will carry California, owing to the
incurable divisions of the Democracy.
Thus far, the Republicans have secured the
following States-each State casting one vote :
