Several committees, -vigilant, execu-
the convention. .1
As some fears wero expressed by
several members of the convention that
some of the candidates might
work for their Individual interests
10 the detirment of tho rest
of the ticket, the secretary was INSTRUCT
ed TO require from each candidate a
pledge to support the whole ticket. In
the event that any candidate srelused 50
10 pledge himself, he was TO be thrown
overheard by the party and his fellow
candidates. Trouble might have been
saved, We think, IL men OF tho clear
grit had been ut once nominated.

IMPORTANT FROM FRANCE.

The subject Of the withdrawal Of the French
troops from Mexico, which has formed the
chief topic of conflicting opinions in Paris, is
now placed beyond all doubt. The Emperor
Napoleon. on the 22d ult., informed the Leg.
islative Chambers that arrangements were
being made with the Emperor Maximilian to
fix the period for the return of the French
troops from Mexico. The Paris correspon-
dent of the London Daily News says that il
has transpired in Court circles that the En-
peror Napoleon is greatly displeased with the
Emperor Maximilian on very many grounds,
especially on account Il the bad reception
given to the French Councillor of State sent
to Mexico to take the finances in hand, aud it
is insinusted that this is oae reason for the
withdrawal Of the troops. rhe key to the
Imperial conduct, is, however, thought to be
contained in the following words. with which
the Emperor supplemented the notice of the
withdrawal OF the French army -" And the
emotion produced in the United States by
their (the soldiers presence on Mexican soil
would be appeased."
The following paragraphs are from the
speech Of the Emperor:
"In Mexico the Government founded By
the will of the people is being consolidssE.
The opposition, conquered and dispeStcg,
have no longer chief, the national troops have
displayed valor, and the country has foaud
guarantees Of order and security which have
developed its resources and raised its com =
merce with France alone from 2l to III mil
lions. As | expressed the hope last year that
ton, am coming 10 an uaderstdnding Nth the
Emperor Mammalian 20 flo the epoch for the
recall of our troops before their return is effec-
tuated, without compromising the French in
terests which we have been defending ia that
remote country.
North America, issuing victorously from
formidable struggle, has re established the
Union and solemnly proclaimed the abolition
Of slavery. France, which forgets no noble
page of her history, offers up sincere wishes
for the prosperity OF the great American Re-
public, and for the maintenance OF smicsble
relations, which soon will have had century's
duration. The emotion produced in the United
States by the presence of our troops on tbs
Mexican soil will be pacifed by the frankness
of our declarations. The American people
will comprehend that our expedition, to which
we invited them, was not opposed to their
interests. Two nations equally jealous Of
their Independence ought to avoid every step
which might affect their dignity and their
honor"

ILLNESS OF j R. SPALDrNG.--we have once
alluded to the rumored illness of James r. Spal-

Times, graduate of the Vermont University and
native of Montpelier. The New York cores
pondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer says;
"A general feeling OF sorrow was aroused in
newspaper circles when it became known that Mr..
james r. Spalding had been stricken with paraly-
sis. Just as he was reaching the city on his return
from New Orleans, whittier he had gone for the
benefit Of bis health. The announcement aston
ished especially those who had known the extreme
Temperance and moderation which have character
ized his mode of life. Mr.. Spaldlng was the prin-
cipal editorial writer of the New York Times,
having been the chief editor of the World when
that journal was started He is now lying at the
New York Hospital in dangerous condition, his
attack having been aggravated by the circum-
stances attending his arrival in the city. Being
unable to speak and make himself known, he was
refused admission, on being driven 70 several ho-
tells, and considerable period elapsed before he
