Mr.. WADE OF the opinion that this country would
not be benefited by representation at the exhibition IL
was gotten up he said 10 enhance the glory and grandeur
Of the Napoeonc dynasty and the learned soges We sent
there would como back with their heads filled with the
glory Of mOnarchca institutions That was the way with
all these shallow scientific men, II was the way with our
representatives when sent TO European courts III TOOK
them scarcely month get infatuated with the arstoc
races by which they surrounded Our present rep
rcsentave at the French court complete snob.
And who was this man, Napoleon for whose glory the
whole exhibition was being gotten up1 He was man
who had committed the greatest crimes that could be com
mtted against free people and a SISTER Republic
of ours II was the duty of the United States to act in
this NATTER and that the people OF Mexico were not
oyerrdden by this robber II its duty to drye the

Mr.. McDoUGALL said the "Holy Alliance was but a
movement of which the present movement in Europe
the counterpart. He believed il the policy Of Nap0
leon TO crcumscbe the powers and influence Of the North
French was with the United States. When Napoleon
sent Macmillan TO Mexico he committed greater mis-
take than supposed his uncle made when he dis
ayOwed bis lawful wife and married Theresa. He held
that Napoleon the worst enemy Of the United States
living at the present time
