The ou.look ior 1850.

The campaign Of 1850 viii be the hard
est fought political battle this country has
known. 70 the Republicans It viii be .
battle Of desperation, as defeat for them
means ruin, disorganization and annihila-
ton. The Republican party could not
survive defeat. Il has no principles to
hold it together Itwould never nominate
another ticket, but disintegrate into a
dozen factions, routed and disOrganized.
The Democracy, founded on principles as
eternal as the Republic, has lived since
the birth Of tho Federal Union, and is I'M
dismaycd BY defeat Next year, strength
ened beyond the innate force and power
Of this great party by its consciousness Of
the possession Of power, il will 60 into the
contest with enthusiasm. The victory is
ours if we choose to have H. No Re-
turning Board can battle US; the Return
ing Boards are ours. No Electoral Com
mission can snatch from US the victory We
shall win. The creators Of the Electoral
Commission, both houses Of Congress, are
ours. Next year We viii count the votes,
not the Radicals. What votes, then, eau
We count? Honestly aud fairly count,
for We shall not follow the Republican ex.
ample to secure votes we have not fairly
fought for and won. But, rest assured,
those we have honestly won we shall not
submit 10 be taken from US by fraud or
force. There can be no count which does
not give us these electoral votes:

OF the London News, the
finest and most irequented street in
Naples, might have been seen an old
woman. bent under the weight OF years,
clad in wretched mourning, creeping
past the line of shops like moving bas-
reliet, and sometimes halting at u cor
ner. She wore a tattered bonnet on her
head, a thick, black veil over her lea
lures. and u pair OF ragged gloves on
her fingers. She never spoke, she never
put out her hand for charity, bu: took
with kind of growl whatever small
coin the passengers might vouchsaie
her.. The old wonaan's gains were ~
francs per diem; but who was she? No
one could tell, and she never answered
questions. She seemed a spectre in the
throng Of Vanity Fair-an uDcomiOrta
BILE intruder whom the butterflies OF
fashion were only too glad to pay and
get rid of. The other day a couple OF
Municlpal Guards laid hands on her and,
bundling her into u cab, took her off to
the, Mendicants' Home. One OF the fe-
male attendants stripped her. when sud-
denly. from the filthy. fetid envelope OF
rags emerged. Cinderella-like, lusty
young woman. considerably on this side

effect. Her curved spine was arranged
with cord which passed around her
neck and was fastened at the knee. Her
hump was manufactured from ball VI
rags; her wrInkled and dirty white face
was managed with imitation parchment
On inquiry, it was found that this young
woman was OF good family. and that the
gains she SO, cleyerly earned were
brought regularly home to her parents
who kept q house where scenes of revel
ry were kept up till all hours of the
morning.

THE PENITENTIARY BILL.

Hon. A. A. Lesueur Is the editor of
the Lexington Intelligencer, represents
his county in the legislature, and is
chairman of the committee on peniten-
tiary. In the contest over the bill con-
trolling and governing the management
OF this mammoth state Institution in the
lower house last week, he covered him
self with glory, and well deserved to
wear the mantle of success, which tell
so gracefully over his shoulders when
the success of his bill was secured by
its final passage. A true journalist, a
faithful servant of his people, and an
honest legislator. he deserves well of
his state. = a The final passage of this
bill in the house is mainly due
to the exertions of Captain A.
A. Lesueur, of Lafayette county. edi-
tor of the Lexington IntellIgencer. He
has worked faithfully and energetically
at this measure during the entire ses-
sion until its passage. AS chairman oil
the committee on penitentiary, he has
been able to know all the wants and ne
cesslties of this mammoth state elephant
and he is satisfied that under thie new
law the state will be protected and the
opportunities tor plundering by evil dis.
posed persons will be entirely cut off
Capt. Lesueur's speech pending the mo
tion to engross the bill was an able ant
exhaustive argument that none of hi
opponents attempted to answer; it wa
clear. torcible and convincing. Evi
