Catacazy said, "a piece of very good
news, l am sure. Next juno we ex-
poet Russian Prince here, the first
who ever visited the United States
Until recently" he continued, sour
laws have prevented such visit
but they are now repealed, and the
Gar will have the pleasure of send
ing Prince to this country" Here
| will relate truthful incident of
the late rebellion, given to me by
Vice President Colfax, which will, |
think, tend to make the proposed
visit of Russian Prince pleasant TO
him and his reception most cordial
on our part. France and England,
it seems, had resolved to recognize
the Southern Confederacy. France
was to father the movement, and
England was to join in, and both
were to give the South such aid and
comfort as they consistently could
to help them achieve their indepen-
dencc, and thus make jeff. Davis and
cotton, slavery and Southern aristoc-
racy rule this country forever
There was only one little il in the
way of this grand movement for an-
other Empire or Kingdom on these
benighted shores. They must have
the "moral support" (they said they
wanted nothing more) of the En-
peror of Russia. That, they thought;
they could easily obtain. Napoleon
was to make the application and he
did so, through his Minister. He
commanded said Minister to wait up
on the Russian Ambassador in Paris
and communicate his wishes He
did 80. put that in writing" said
the faithful Ambassador, "and / will

and what was the result? "No!

slavery aud the establishment of

prompt and righteous decision hung
the untold interests of our beloved
country. God bless the Car of Rus

ing, humaDity-serving rulers And
when the Prince steps foot on our
soil in June next, the month of roses
and of all the best, may the right hand
of this nation forget its cunning ifit
fails to give IA most cordial and prince
ly reception to one of the chief prin-
ces of Europe and a beloved son OF
the great ruler who, when we were
in the midst of great troubles, did
not forget US. But we will not in
our enthusiasm for Catacazy and the
Gar forget the Minister Of Turkey,
or of Spain, or of poor Mexico, or ev-
en- Of Austria; although we can never
forget or forgive the latter for her
treatment Of the exile, Kossuth. We
will not mention the names of other
noble Ministers always found at ev-
cry Presidential reception. Our
space will not permit it.
PARTY RUPTURE. - The Milwau-
kee Sentinel has the following on the
late action of the Senate removing
Senator Sumner:
"Some of the papers are discussing
the probability of rupture being
produced in the Republican party
by this action Of the Senate. We
do not take any stock in that sort
of thing. No serious break can bo
made in any party of principles up
on purely personal grounds, like the
one now under consideration. Mr..
Sumner is not the the Republican
party. He is only very small frac-
tional part of it, and as conspicuous,
and as influential, and as honored as
he has been among US, ho will Tot be
able to carry off "a third part Of hea-
VEINS hosts" nor much less num-
Der, unless he can make the success
of some great fundamental and i'm
portant principle or measure the
battle cry of the schism. That be
cannot do. If he make his opposi-
ton to the San Domingo business
the basis of his hostility to Grants
Administration, let him remember
that since the origin of this Govern
ment, the party in favor of the an
nexation ofterritory to the nations
domain, has always been triumphant,
and it is reasonable to suppose, al
ways will be I"
