The United States sE5efuse to Rec
ognize the Mexican Empire.

The following was received ria Galway not
through our agents:
MEx1Co.-The Paris correspondent of the
Times says; "The Archduke Macmillan
considered recognition by the Washington
Government of the new Mexican monarchy
as indispensable to his acceptance Of the
throne. The proposal was formally made by
the French Government to President Lincoln's
Cabinet. A dispatch from Washington in
reply, was to the effect that the American
Republic would never tolerate, much less rec
ognize, monarchy established at their very
doors. 1t is supposed that this will decide
the Archduke to abandon the idea of accept
.ng the throne Of Mexico"

AFTERNOON SESSION.
Carriage Mandatory.

A few months since we published a state
ment of the amount of carriage manufactu-
ring done by two or three individuals and
Arms, intending before. this time to call on
Others and obtain such facts as would enable
us TO give correctidea Of the amount of
business Of this kind done In the city.
On Preble street, which by the way, is oc-
cupied mainly by carriage manufacturers, is
the establishment OF MR.. Z. X. LEMoNT. Mr..
L. commenced the business about II years
ago on the corner OF Oak and Congress streets
He built few carriages and sleighs each
year, as he found customers for them, getting
his blacksmith work done in one place, and
his upholstery and trimming in another. As
the demand for his carriages increased, he
found 1t necessary to extend his facilities for
manufacturing, and have the work OF the diff
ferent departments done under his immediate
supervision. To obtain the room required, he
removed 10 Preble street about four years
ago, where he carries on the business in all its
various branches. A large proportion of the
carriages manufactured by Mr.. L. are sold in
this city and vicinity, as he gets up such as
are well adapted to the use Of livery stables,
ana are sought after by farmers, combining
power Of endurance, with beauty Of finish.
He manufactures all the different varieties of
light carriages and generally has more or less
ready made. He employs from fifteen to twen-
ty men and finds ready demand for all the
work they can do.

THE POPULARITY OF THE BUcKLEYs.-
There Is no company Of artists in this or any
other country, SO deseryedly popular as the
celebrated Buckley's Serenaders of Boston.
They are all people OF high responsibility,
move In the highest society and do not be-
long TO that class OF loo Minstrels who have
visited us heretofore. In Boston they are Wis
tied at their new Opera House. Summer St.,
by large, fashionable and select audiences, in
GLIDING the clergy Of nearly all denomina-
tons. As fair recommend from the numer-
Gus extracts complimentary Of their enter
tainmens, we copy the following from well
known religious paper:
"The pieces selected were chaste, as are all
the pieces performed by these artists, and the
sentiments OF pure and elevated character.
Above all other popular amusements, music
should receive the liberal patronage Of every
community. Its benign influences stop not
alone with amusement, but tunes the mind
and feelings for higher, purer and more last
ing enjoyment. 1t prepares the recipient
alike for religious devotion and for the more
refined enjoyments of social and domestic
life. In this light the Buckleys pre-eminenty
command the respect and patronage Of the
public"

Taltandigham's 4rriraI at his Home Great
Excitement.

CINCINNATI, june Is.
Vallandingham arrived at Dayton this az.
ternoon and proceeded Immediately to his re-
sideuce. There was no demonstration. Ru-
mors we're current that he had taken the train
for Toledo, but it was subsequently announc-
ed that he would deliver speech in public
tomorrow. There is considerable apprehen-
sion of trouble at Dayton. The people are
very much excited.
Nallandingham made his appearance at
Democratic District Convention at Hamilton
and was received with enthusiasm. He spoke
briefly, narrating his arrest aud defending his
action. He said the accusation OF the Presl-
dent that he had labored with some effect TO
prevent the raising OF troops and encouraged
desertions from the army, and had disobeyed
or failed TO counsel obedience to lawful au-
thority, was absolutely false. He appealed
for proof to every speech he had made and to
the records Of the Military Commission, by
the trial and sentence of which, he was ban
ished. The sole oflense laid 10 my charge was
words Of criticism OF the public policy OF the
Administration, addressed to open political
meetings of my fellow citizens For more than
one year no public man has been arrested or
newspaper suppressed within the State, for
an expression Of public opinion, while hun
dreds, in public assemblies and through the
press, with language and violence In which l
never INDUCED, have criticised and condemn
ed the acts OF policy Of the Administration,
denounclng the war, &c. UEE
He said, Il do not mean any longer TO be
the only one Of the party who IL to be VIC
tim to arbitrary power. If Abraham Lincoln
seeks my life, let him 80 declare; but be will
not again restrain me of my personal liberty,
except upon due process of law He de
nonDced the order under which he was ar
rested and said 1t was against the constitu-
ton and laws, and without validity.
The time has arrived when it becomes me
as citizen of Ohio and the United States, to
demand. and by my own acts vindicate the
rights, liberties and privileges which never
forfeited, but OF which for so many months |
have been deprived. He cautioned.his politi-
cal friends from any acts of violence on his
account. but advised none to shrink from any
responsibility however urgent, il forced upon
him.
The convention elected Vallandigham q
delegate to the Chicago convention.
