WASHINGTON, Nov. 10,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10,
As much importance is attached to
the statement of tho Independence
Belgc, that the evacuation of Mexico,
by the French troops, may bo looked
upon as u thing decided upon, it will
not bc unintoresting to rocur to tho
fact, that about two years ago, M,
Drouyn dc L'Huys said to Minister
Dayton the dangers Of the Govern
mont of Maximillian would come, prin-
cipally, from tho United States, and
the sooner we showed ourselves salts
fed, and manifested " willingness to
enter into peaceful relations with that
Government, tho sooner would France
be ready to leave Mexico, and tho new
government 20 tako care of themselves
which France would in any event do,
as soon us il with propriety could, but
il would not leave or tempt the Arch
duke into difficulty, and them desert
him before his Govornmont was sct-
tlod. lIo added that France could not
do that "r
Mr. Seward, in reply to this nara
ton of Mr.. Dayton, instructed him to
inform the French Government that,
in tho opinion of tho United States,
tho permanent establishment of for
cign and monarcmcal Government in
Mexico would be found neither easy
nor desirable. The United States,
consistently with their principles, can
not do otherwise than leave the dcsti
nies of Mexico in tho keeping OF hor
own people, and recognize their sove-
reignty and independence shall be
manifested. .
1t was previously. declared by M.
Drouyn Il Huys, that as to Mexico the
purpose of tho French Government
was TO givo order to tho condition OF
things thero, to repay themselves foi
debts and expenses, &C., and then leave
the country. The toXt OF tho convcn
tion concluded between France anc
Mexico, to regulate tho conditions o
the stay OF the French troops in Mex
leo for tho purpose of establishing or
der, and consolidating the now Em
pire, dono at tho Castle of Miramse
the 10th day Of April, 1864, provide
that tho French troops now in Mexico
shall bo reduced as soon as possible u
a corps of 25, 900 mon, including tn
foreign lcgion, This corps, in ordo
t., to safe guard tho interests which To-

MisEo rtunes of linton Generals ms Cop
perhead Candidates.

The fate Of those Generals of the
Union army whose ambition has SO
far overleaped itself as TO render them
capable of accepting tho standard
bearership Of the Copperhead Democ-
racy for positions of civil office, is not
encouraging to such as may be SINH
|larIy tempted by Satan upon a high
mountain in the future,
General Tuttlc, in Iowa, two yoars
ago, was the first instance Oh a aGeneral
of the Union army accepting anomina-
lion from the political onemies OF the
Republic and the flag Tor which he
and his fellow soldiers were fighting,
He was defeated by the people at home
and the soldiers in the field by an as
founding majority, as, Of course, lie
ought to have been.
Gen. Mcclellan was tho second in
stance, and we know what his fate was
as tie Democratic national standard
bearer in 1864, Never has rccreancy
TO and betrayal of, principle been moro
pointcdly rcbukcd than in his case.
AT tho late State elections, Gen
Thos.,H. Benton, Jr, in Iowa, ant
Gen. Morgan, in Ohio, who SO eagerly
accepted the proffcrcd but empty hon
ors Of the copperhead candidacy fol
the Governorship, have been SO com

The rout Of the Copperhcad Dem
ocracy is at last complete. The same
! year which saw theutter overthrow Of
the rebellion, witnessed tho complete
overthrow ofits ally, the Democracy o.
the North. Every State which held
elections this year. has gone union.--
In New York, Gen, Barlow's majority
is over 10000. Slocum was n Union
General who accepted the nomination
Of tho Democracy, and he has gone the
way Of Mcclellan, Morgan, Tuttlo, and
the rest of the Generals who deserted
the party which saved the country
and accepted nominations from the
cncmy. But the great and uncxpoct-
cd triumph is in, New Jersey, which,
at the last Governors election, went
for the Coppcrhcads by fourteen
thousand majority. Ward, Tho Union
candidate, is now elected by over three
thousand. .,......,, ...,.u
The Coppcrhcads are stripped oI

Dark Hours. A.ii. Hi

'a We, all ofus, are called upon to pass
through trials and disappointmcnts.-
We, all Of us, know the meaning of
sorrow. We have, all of US, expert
enced disappointments and regrets;
we have seen those we deemed friends,
constant and true, turn from us. We
have seen the sunlight Of. prosperity
dimncd by the clouds Of mistortune.-
But we have also knownjoys, and ex-
perienced pleasure. We know there
are true hearts in this beautiful world
of ours We know that, though the
clouds overcast the sky to-day, the
san will shine morrow. Man is born
"a hero; only in darkness and storm
that heroism gains its greatest and
its best developement, and the storms
bear it on rapidly to its destination =
Donot let us despair then; but let us
cherish hope, and with cheerful pefse-
veIence, push on toward the. goal o.
success. We canpot hope to win any
prize, no matter how small, without
surrounding gobstacles, and overcoming
difficulties. Oar Chief Magistrate, the
beloved and hope of all, was stricken
down by the hand of the assassin, when
tho hopes for the end Of the rebellion
were bright, and the prospect ofa joy
GUS life was before him, and tho four
years Of pleasure and joy awaiting
him, as the weight Of care or anguish
would be taken from his mind and he
could have bright and happy hour:
withhis family again. The sun had
broken through the clouds, the light
had comc-in the midst OF all thes,
anticipations he left his house Eever tC
return alive. '''
Time is rapidly rolling on,
Brightest hopes are soonest gone i. "a
Dark hours must come to all, bu
they cannot always last-tbe light will
come again--thc sun will break thro

CHANGE OF POLICY,

There are reports from Washington
that tho President intends changing
his policy. Ho is reported to have
said that the Southern people were in.
capable of apprcciating magnanimity
Tho President has tried clemency, and
will hereafter, il is tn fought, DO more
emphatic in telling the Southern peo
pie what they must do, before they
can be fully restored. Two things, We
hope, wilIbe insisted upon, VIZ: tho rati.
fcation Of tho Constitutional Amend.
,mept, and tho admission of tho blacks
to all tho'rights Of citizenship, unless
perhaps the right Of suffrage. The
Government cannot leave the blacks

tho States have acknowledged the
rights Of tho black man and secured
him in thoir possession. =" "

The Weight and Measure Of Our Nation

Statistics are useful in correcting
erroneous estimates, reducing extrav-'
agantv views, and properly guiding the
aims Of statesmen and the transactions
Of merchants. Moreover they serve
to present wildly to the mind II true
conception of things which are less
wclDGudcrstood and appreciated when
seen through the misty veil OF mere
theory. Sometimes the results appal
and sometimes amuse. 1T ispsobable
that no subject will moro peculiarly
