"To my friends in the United States,'
Withdrawing his name from tho list of

expross any opinion in favor of either of
the candidates opposed to Mr.. Lincoln.
IIo earnestly presses the union Of all con

Let not those who rely upon carrying
the election into the House of Representa-
tivos deceive themselves. The people have
been taught to dread such consumma-
ton. Neither four, three, nor two oppo-
nonts TO tho Republican candidate can
carry IL there: and If they could, the strife
which is being engonderod among tho diff
ferent factions, would render tho result
very uncertain. There must be an aban
donmont of specious dogmRs, clap-traT
platforms and eleotionecring cant; and u
concentration upon common principle
| for u common purpose, or else tho factions
which, united, would constitute mGori-
ty, must mako up their minds to tho ele-
vation of sectional President, whose
claim to success is based upon opposition
to tho institution whose existence should
never havo been brought into national

would put an end to discord and a clamo-
rous tendency towards disunion.

AMERICAN CITIZENS IN PARIs.-A
case Of great Importance to American
citizens of foreign birth from the con-
tinent of Europe, and particularly
France, has just been decided by the
French tribunals. A native of the
department of lower Rhine, named
Michael Zeiter, emigrated while yet a
boy to the United States, where he
became a naturalized citizen at the
proper time and in due form of law.
In France his name had been enrolled
for conscription on the register, and
when he reached the age of military
service the lot fell upon him to serve.
Being absent, the police were directed
to seize him whenever they might find
him. An opportunity at length pre-
sented itself. Zeiter, little dreaming
what was in store for him, returned
to see the spot where he first drew
breath. 1t was at Weissburg. lie
was arrested as a deserter from the
army. Mr.. Faulkner, the American
Minister at Paris, demanded his
release as a right on the ground that
there was no service due from him at the
time of his emigration, and that hav.
ing renounced his allegiance to France
and sworn allegiance to the United
States, France has now no claim upor
him, and his undivided allegiance is
due to the land of his adoption. Th'
French tribunal has pronouncedin favo
of the claim of the American Minister
and Zeiter has been discharged. This
case is highly important, as the release
Of the prisoner was claimed as right
and it will, therefore, serve as a prec
edent, not only in France, but on tn,
continent Of Europe generally.
