approaching election. Remember the
advice Of the heroic Hampton upon
| this point. Not every one who lawns
upon yon with sycophantic smiles is
worthy of your suffrage, but he who
has the common sense to understand
the present exigency, and the honesty
and patriotism to act accordingly.
Beware of the wolf who suddenly en-
robes himself in sleeps skin. Sc
lect men to remould your Constitution
and laws who have the good of the
country at heart, who nobly stood by
her in her day of peril, who sacrificed
all upon her altar, and not those who
by their greed o: gain fastened her

.EFe. DAVIS.
President Johnson has decided that
hlr. Davis shall not be tried by a mill

has been persistentlJ, urged to that
coarse by the radical who thirst for

almost certain that he VIII eventually

THE SUCCESSOR OF MIR. SEWARD:
MIR. Seward Will probably leave the
Cabinet at AN early day. In that
event, Hon. Preston King Will be his
successor,
II Mr.. Seward remains in Office, it
will be for the purpose Of carrying out
the Monroe doctrine, as applied to
Mexico. He is determined that Maxi
milan shall be expelled from that corn-
try, no matter at what cost. There
is reason to believe that our minis
ter at the Court of France has hcen
instructed to say that the United
States will adhere to its traditional
policy, and that its people will not
tolerate q monarcy founded, as it is.
on the ruins of Il sister republic. It
Is doubted, however, that President
Johnson Is prepared to acquiesce in
the present extreme views of the Sec

quest for an interview with Mr.. Davis.
He ut once granted'a pardon to Gene
