AMONG those Americans most urgent
in their demands for the release of a
French subject from French prison,
are the boilers, who, while denouncing
deserters and traitors, say the convict
referred to should be granted another
trial. After going into democratic
convention, and then deserving their par
ty and traitorously aiding its enemies,
such effrontery as that referred to is
monumental.

IT Is to be supposed, though to do so
may be crediting them for more than
they deserve, that the boilers in Rich

selves than ever, now that under the
President they did all they could to
elect, worthy and efficient white men
in the customs house of that city have
been removed and their places supplied
with negroes. If their avarice and
sel6shness have not changed their very
natures, they must feel like kicking
themselves, or, if their joints are too
stiff, asking such friends as they have
to do so for them.
