THEEATE OFnESPOTS.

From Napoleon's speech 10 III
Legislative body, ii is plain that h,
has been put on the defensive. Tn,
advocates Of liberty in France max,
themselves heard in spite of every
effoIt at repression. Rochofor
driven out of France, shows tbs
CLEAN Of his Lantern across the
frontier, and even speaks a WORD
through the American papers. L
seems as if there would soon be bur
one alternative for the Emperor-tC
establish constitutional liberty OF
face the dangers Of 4 revolution
lie and his dynasty are in great dis
repute now in France. His sons
chances for the succession were
never smaller than they are now.
Louis Napoleon, after passing
for a very foolish fellow in his
earlier years, afterwards gained the
reputation for superior wisdom
which is often ascribed to successful
usurpers. He trampled the republic
out of existence because his ambi-
ton was to be Emperor, not Presi-
dent. Then he displayed capacity
but not such as warrants the ascrip-
ton to him ofeXtraOrdinary powers.
He has Numbered again and again.
His intervention in Italy has brought
him as little credit as his interven-
ton in Mexico. He has lost prestige
in the recent events in Europe, of
which all the glory rebounds to
Prussia. For this he makes his
apology to the French people;
"All governments are liable to
err. Fortune declines to smile on
all enterprises, but the country
knows no thought, no act of mine
which has not been given to the
glory of France"
The history of the world shows
that in the government Of a nation
the deliberate will of the whole PEG
pie is far wiser than the despOt who
makes most pretense to wisdom.
The first Napoleon ravaged Europe,
and with all his acknowledged
genius left France subiugated, and
ended his own days in prison.
Cromwell has drawn to himself some
republican favor, because he over
threw king; but he soon surpassed
him in the exercise Of despotic
power. He WAS more the UsuTper
in Selling the rights Of the
people, than in snatching the
crown from the head Of
a monarch. He dismissed Parlia-
ment and governed England by the
sword. He made himself more than
a king, yet was always striving for
the title which he did not venture to
assume. He was relieved by death
from a position not unlike that in
which Napoleon stands to-day. He
had outlived his fame. Conspira-
cies were thickening around him.
The dread of assassination haunted
his thoughts and his dreams. In
the career Of most usurpers We find
that retribution overlook them at
last. Let this be a warning to all
who may be tempted to play the
part of despots over men born free
men.

Taxing Bonds.

One set ofspeakers 60 over the coun-
try saying that the Democrats in the
Ohio Legislature passed an act taxing
the Bonds Of the United States; anoth-
er set of speakers claim that the party
were afraid to attempt to pass such a
law, knowing that it would be uncon-
stitutional and void.
We asked q leading Democrat in this
pIace-onc Of the best lawyers in the
party, whether such an act had been
passed, and he said that the law did not
tax bonds, but only tho amount inuested
in bonds.
Now we turn to the Statute itself, and
on page 342, We find an act entitled
GAN Aor to provide for taxing Bonds,
Treasury Notes and Fractional Curren-
oy of the United States, held or owned
by individuals, companies or corpora
tons in thisState" Wehaye not room
to publish this act, but we are satisfied
it ia what its title imports, an act to tax
Bonds &c, True, the first section
speaks of parties returning the amounts
by them iauestcd in Bonds, &C. but the
second section commences by saying;
"The taxes assessed on such bonds,
treasury notes and fractional currency,
shall be paid to the treasurer of the
county in which the taxes are assess
ed" sc,
The third section provides what shall
be done If the county auditor shall be
restrained by ijuction, or other order
Of court, from placing upon the dupli-
cate ''the taxes assessed upon. such
bonds, treasury notes and fractional
currency, or either" &c,
Now wo are satisfied that the Legis-
lature did pass an act to tax bonds,
treasury notes and fractional currency,
That the members all knew that they
were passing an act in violation Of the
constitution of the United States, which
they had taken an oath to support, can
not be doubted We will prove this
next week.

folio wing as its theory of their death:
WFrom all the facts connected with
the case, we are impressed with the be-
lief that the parties met their death by
suffocation from smoke and deleterious
gases from the burning debris which
-permeated the entirety Of the workings
through the inability of the miners to
close the gangway down against its adj
vances. Had they been able to have
done so, and to have prevented the es-
cape of the air in the mines by sealing
up the gangway and air passages, suffi :
cieht of it might have been retainedto
have prolonged their existence so long
as they could have been abloato,haVe
done without food,
An Intellectual attempt appears to
have been made to secure and fasten
the gangway door near the bottom of
the shaft. But the person who at
tempted it was found by Its side, with
every evidence upon his features and
connected with his person that he died
suffooated by the binding smoke and
fumes arising from the burning debris.
His comrades, seeing his untimely end;
and closely followed by the smoke and
flames from the burning mass, return
ed to the place where their bodies were
found, where, after vain and ineffec-
tual struggle with the destroyer, they
yielded up the ghost"
Tie Republicans are confident that
they will re-elect John W. Geary, Gov
ernor, over Asa Packer, man worth
sec, 900, 900. sPackerzis. euaofsthe

him to his house and entertained him

A JacksOnian Kills a Bear.

We have permission to publish the
following extract from letter from j.
Allison Miller to his brother. Mr..
Miller has been ten years a resident of
Colorado aud Wyoming Territories
and formerly lived in Jackson,
81 was away up on one of the highest
and mggedest mountains with my wife
after berries, when, stepping round a
crag, | beheld large bear, reposing,
as he probably supposed; in perfect se-
curity. He did not manifest much
fear for me, and must confess ] had
no desire to embrace hin, asmuch as ]
wanted him. While l guarded him
with my revolver, my wife went hurri-
edly to camp and sent up Mr.. Powell
with my carbine aud knife. The den
being on high cliff, there was no es-
cape, if i should wound him, but to
eight it out on that line" which we
determined to do. Mr. Powell station
cd himself with knife at one side ofahe
den, ready at moments notice to mount
him in case he should come for me-.
With an extra cartridge in my teeth, l
gradually approached his Bruinship
with gun cooked. He did not serious
ly object to this until the muEzle was
within few feet of bis head. With
steady aim.between the eyes, | fred ;
and without q groan, and apparently
with only half head, his Bearship
yielded up the ghost and fell back into
his den ina cavern among The rocks.
They are very common in the noun
tains at this time of year, and are very
fond ofberries; hence they are FREE
quently seen and killed by the ranche-
men and hunters" q

On Wednesday evening of last week
the editor Of the Herald employed a yis-
ible admixlure Republican to take him
out to Perrys School House, to make
speech. He had fife and drum with
him, and on the way told farmer that
he was going ont to warn the Repub-
licans to flee from the wrath TO come.
When he got there, he found two men
and one little girl, and the School House
door was locked, and he could not be
delivered of his speech.

/ had the pleasure of being present
at the. Sunday School celebration ofthe

ship, on last Saturday, 18th inst. Fin
ley school was out in full force, and to
swell its crowd, the following named
schools were represented: Washing
ton, Sand Run, Hamden, Pleasant Val
ley, Steam Mill, and Brick, near Bun
dy's. ~
At. ten O'Clock Rev. E. N Nichols
was called to the chair, and A. w. Long
elected secretary.
The meeting being called to order by
the Chairman, the exercises began with
singing by the schools, apCl prayer BY
Rev. Cooley,
The exercises were different from
any celebration / ever attended, they
being exclusively made up of singing
by different schools aud classes, and
declamatiohs and Dialogues by the
scholars, all of which were very appro-
pirate and interesting
AT about II IL O'clock L. M, lhe
meeting adjourned for refreshments;
then all was hurry and hustle to see
who could set the largest and first ia
bic. After the provision was prepared
the citizens of the vicinity were busy
inviting and conducting those from
distance to their abundantly ladened ia
bles, which were burthened with the
finest provision and fruits the land af-
fords.
After the hundreds were fully fed,
there was large amount of provision
left to be carried home. The people i'll
the immediate neighborhood'aud all the
surrounding vicinity, certainly mani
tested great interest for the cause. The
whole affair was a grand success, and
was we'll worthy the praise Of the most
sanguine.
The meeting was on the lands of Jo-
seph II. Wilson, some distance from
the Church, and the procession, when
going from the Church to the grove,
was from a quarter to half mile in
