If the Paris journals have obstaine? ia » measure from comment on the Con‘erence en thir p asidilities, of which they can know little, all have in‘ulgsd immode- rately in comment on American affairs, a which tacy must know less, if we are to judge by tve foliowing ex- tract from a late number of the Patri-:—" Tas new Presi- ‘dent of the House of Representavives,’ says Mr, E, Mouttet, who “does”, (cruelly enough sometimer) the American news for this journal, ‘Mr. Nuthsoie: Baoks is & black, belonging to the republiosn represen:ation from Massachusetts. In his double charac wr of colored man end abolitionist, Mr. Banks inspires tho representatives ofthe Southern States with protound aversion. This nomination ie a double check, whic» gives @ blow on ons side to the democratic party, to whic! the administration of President Pierce belongs, and on the o:uer to the Know Nothings.” ‘The Patric, like the other Paris journa’s, has beea careful to state that while Banks received 103 votes and Aiken 100, Scattering got 13. It will, peraaps, publish in a day or two as interesting and vera: es biography ‘of Mr. Scattering as that which the Cunsti‘utionnel lately published of Col. Sibthorpe. Tois tim» it ls to be hoped that the Patrie will not mistake as to the complexion of ita subject. As a further illustration of the familiarity of French writers with American topica and terms, 1 may mention that Le Correspondant, » grave religious magazine, caps the climax of a highly lsudatory article on Catho ic litera. ture in the Unived States by calling Orestes A. Brownson, in French and English, un Américain ds ta Vieille Roche (an old fogy). I fear the late of Co! Sibthorpe’s bio- grapher is intimate with this Freach admi-er of the doughty American champion of Ultram ntauiam, Beinrich Heine, the illus'rious German poet, died at Paris on the 17th of this month. Up to the very last moment of his life the disease with waith he bad strug- Sled heroteally for eight long yerrs failed te vauquich one of the brightest spirits ever clothed in flesh. In ac- cordance with hia own request, he was buried ‘quietly,”” without the affectations of grief und admiration whish are usually displayed at French funerals. No minister of religion officiated, and yet no person preseat could feel as if it were an “atheiat’s tunersi,”’ for all remem- bered the mea culpa of Heinrich Heine, in his Aveux 2’un Potte, published not long ago in the Revue dee Deux Mondes, where be formally recorded ‘ia adieux 4 Pathé- isme, and related how, after having vainly been the rounds of all the philosophies, he found himself one day kneeling before the same holy volume from which, ho ways, “Uncle Tom, in his simplicity, derived at once con- solation and wisdom.” Heine had mad» the roun’s of all the philosophies, ancient and modern. He had mastered more completely than Coleriags or De Quincey ‘the most difficult systems of the German metapbyaicians, vand bad too much good senae left to ‘ake the trouble of ‘ecnstructing a system of his own. In fact, like De Quincey, he bad been repelled with a protouad shock 4rcm German philosophy. And, unitke Strauss, the au- ‘thor of the ‘Life of Jesus,” who says that ‘he did not ‘profess to write for the people at largs;that he had no idea of disturbing their belief,” Helus was acute enough to discover that the vulgar listeoed indisorsetly at tae door, and were ready to esho the bon mols of learned and oe \t free thizkers, translating ihem into course pro- ity, or even crimins! deeds, and maskiog queer hash of the ‘‘feast of reason’’ at tt © petits soupers philo. Sophiques.”’ Listen to the con’ession of Heine : —‘ When,” ays he, ‘‘Lobserved that the people sought to discuss ‘the rame in dranken s; eandle and the lamp replaced wax i; ‘when atheism began to smeil of taliow. brandy sshnappa and tobacco, then my eyes were opeved; I comprehended iby the rausea ot what I could not comprehend ‘by reason, and I adieu to atheism,’” Familiar with German metaphysica, with the sabdtie- ties of the achoo! with the confereaces of the asade- my, with Rabbinical lore, with Orieatal theogonies, with the subiime theo! of the Bible, with various litera- , with universal history, Heine might have said with f our own poets :— T am owzer of the spheres, ‘Of the reven stars ani the solar year, Ot Cexsar’s hand and Plato’s brain; Ot Lord Christ’s heart ard Shakspere’s strain. ‘His erudition was Me gee even for a German, sup- fd torial a wealth of illustrations no less felici- us than curious, era. without ever clogging his na‘ive 7 oT a satirist, his irony was sharp and terrible, not to say at times, diabolica!.

His sarcasm is overwhelmi: but his fam and his pathos are equally irresistible. He joined the French wit (espriz) and Evglish humor with highest qualities ef the German mind, and with the ‘dest feelings of the human heart, Heine exhibited rare union of postical genius and the critical faculties, Pure and rereas was his ws! sense, his taste was so catnolic as to recognize in the Gothic cathedral, as in tne Greek temple, the charms peculiar toeach. The fantas:ic, and even the grotesque, as well as the beautiful and the sublime, did not find him blind. How fully could he appreciate the exquisite music which Schubert married to some of hia own favorite Lied-r! The unequalled Chopin never elicited more rh Gel vreises fem George Sand than from hiw, notwithstanding his special aversion to the piano. And no one has celebrated like him the iostru- ment of his predilection, the violin, or Paganini, the moat won of all violinis The last musical article which he wrote for the Augsbourg Gazette was a notice of Jenny Lind’s incredible success in England in 1840, and alt bh be could not refrain from ridiculing the cadora\ ‘of English prudes for that “puxlage chat ”’ he rendered justice to the extraordinary gitts of the dish vocalist. With what enthusiasm and tenderness did he dwell upon the talent and the fate of Leopold Robert! I noticed on Wednesday rings of Robert’s celebrated pictares, ‘(The Harvesters” and “The Fishermen,”’ on the walls of the parlor in whish the remains of Heine were lying.

For money is the God of our age, and Rothschild is his prophet.” Heine knew Victor Cousin and Pierre Lerou better than either of those rival philoeophers knew himself.

Austrian Outrages on American Citizens—Oaie of Martin Spears—Pnergetic Efforts of Mr. Jackson, United States Minister at Vienna in his Behalf—Political Profession and Practice—How Marcy Protects American Citizens Abroad—Contemptuous ‘Treatment of Mr. Jackson by Count Buol—Spirited Conduct of the Latter—Release of Spears in Consequence—Opinions of an American Su terranean Democrat on Republicanism in Europe, dec. In my last I briefly alluded to the serious difficulties row existing bet veen our Minister at Vienna and the Austrian government, in rels‘ion toa succession of gross outrages perpetrated by the officials of the latter upon revere! American citizens, but more particularly and im- mediately in consequence of their inhuman treatment of @pcor old man namei Martin Spears, or as they are pleased to alias him, ‘Spesrschpyder.”” As this case is doubtless now destined to excite considerabie public at- tention, 1 proceed to give you » brief statement of all the prominent facts connec ed with it, from his arrest to hia recent pardon and release. Spear isa German by birth. He was born in Plunken- burg, principality of Swarzburg, Rudolfstadt, and emt- grated to the United States in 1641. Early in the sum- mer of 1853, being desirous of perfecting himself in his business—that of glass painting—he procured his pass- port from the State Department at Washington, and with it arrived in Vienna on the 31st of the following July, a full, unquestioned and unquestionable American citizen of some six or seven years standing. For some time pre- vious to leavirg the United States he kept a boarding house in Brooklyn, where, on his departure, he left a wife and five children. He is now midway between fifty and sixty years of age, and has always been known, as it in now admitted, even by his persecutors, as a simple- minced, quiet and industrious man, who never meddled with politica, This last I do not, of course, mention ass virtue; but simply asa fact tending to show the utter absurdity of the charge alleged against him. At Brooklym Spears made the acquaintance of Gen. Vetter, of the Hungarian revolutionary army, and also that of one Zagany, a Hungarian retugee. The last named individual, it appears, represented himself as be- longing to some ‘‘great family,’’ and as the owner ofa large and valuable property in his owa country, which would sgain be available to him as soon as the then existing tranquility was recognized as permanent. Un- cer these representations he beesme a boarder in the house of poor Spear; and, by way of more thoroughly do- mesticating himself in the establishment, he commenced paying bis addresses to » daughter, whois now his wite. Although Spears’ chief purpose in coming to Earope was, as I have stated, to acquire » higher knowledge of his art, a creditable regard for the welfare of his daughter, anda desire to investigate the truth of Zagany’s repre. sentations, had much influence in producing and hasten- {ng his determination. He is said to have brought with with him from the United States a letter from Mrs. Sa- laisk{, sister of Kossuth, to Dr. Stefsel, of Vienna; one from Gen. Vetter to Uount Caralzi; two for Madam Oyz kanitz, in Pesth, from Amelis Zereutzy and Vetter; one trom Zagany to John Valzi, near Szatehmar, and another frcm him to Valentine Von Urai, President of the Up Country Court of the Imperial government in Huagi Leaving his passport in the Polics Bureau, at Vienna, he obtained @ permit to visit Hungary for eight days. At Pesth he gave some of the letters for delivery to persons whom he had never un il then known, and proceeding to Debrezin he handed Zagany’s to Von Urai, by whose orders he was instantly arrested, on the 11th of August. Ho wes transferred for trial to Vienna, where he was kept within a stone’s throw of the American Legation in close confinement for over seven months, without boing permitted to communicate in any way with even the Mivister or Consul of bis adopted country. Finally, as bas been subsequently ascertained, he was, on the 3let of March, 1854, secretly tried before a Court Martial, convicted of treason and sentenced to ten years hard labor in irons in the trenches of Theresiengtedt. 1; seems that shortly after his arrest he managed to write at least two Jetters—one to the American Consul at Lsip- He and ancther to bis brother-in-law in Radaffatait, both of which he must have drannea em the «vad, waile they were bringing him from Debrezen to Vienna, as they at length, many months after, found their way to the per- sons towhom they were directed. Through the agency of these letters, the case was brought out in the Unitei States, in May, 1864, and Secretary Marcy wrote to Mr. Jackson, our Minister at Vienna, in regard toit. From the day on which Mr. Jackson received Marcy’s first let ter on the subject, until he wrote his last emphatic not to Count Buol, the cay before that personage left to at tend the Paris Conferences, he has been untiring in hi: efforts to obtain the release of Spear, and to vindicate the national honor, if the real facts of the case shoul! show that it had been outraged in his humble persea. The marked ability and untiring assiduity wich which Mr. Jackson has devo'ed himself to the attainment o° thore ends, are alike creditabie to his head and heart The utter obseurisy and deplorably forsaken condition of the victim served, as inall cases it should (but very rarely does), to tnoite him to redoubled efforts in his behalf. Acting under the instructions of the State Depsrtment at Washington, he zealously endeavo: but in vaio, to obtain from the Austrian government, through Count Buol, an official Sy ch of the proceedings in the trial and condemmation of Spear, but at length finding himself abandoned by Marcy, and prompted by compassion for the wretch risoner and his destitute family in the United States, he tormally waived all his offical rigts in the matter, and implored the Imperial clemency in be- half of Spear, urgently requesting at the same tine, however, that the letters said to have been used on his trial, might be placed at the disposal of our government to ensure the convistion, under its neutrality laws, of the more guilty principals in Auerica, by whom he ‘had been duped, as then admitted by the Austrians them- selves. The masterly shrewdness of tuis move left the miserable and intriguing aypoorites n> altsrnative bat the observance of @ disreapecsful silence, coupled with a studied effort to goad Mr. Jackson, by treatment at times bordering on contemptuous, int> the commis- sion of some act which would thenceforth make it purely personal matter between him and them. Intensely and eee canes ce as were many of the despicable means by which they sought to effect this, to them, most desirable end, they were bitterly thwarted in their dishonorable design by his calm forvesrance and dignified discretion. It may be well Barred that the Germans of New York, who assembled in thousands at Metropolitan Hall and elsewhere in the fall of 1853, to respond to Marcy’s Koszta letter, aud listen to such pititul abolition charlatens as Hale, John Cochran & Co, des- cant upon the inviolability of American citizensaip, should now know how this same Mr. Marcy acta when called upon to partially carry out in practice that which he so profusely and paradingly prociatmedin thsory. Then there was an election at hand, and it was all important that the mercenary and perfidious ‘ soft” faction, of which he was the head, should—no matter how base and fraudulent the means by which they were obtained—: cure as any ee as possible, His adhereats were revelling in the undeserved smiles and patronage of an administration elevated to power by the same popular verdict which so signally rebuked and repudiated their treachery, and it was indispensably necessary to make an apparent exhibition of numerical strength, which had no real foundation in ad to reconcile even the expediency of other States to the atrocious out: per- petrated upon the patriotic sentiment of the nation by their appointment. The purpose for which that letter was written hay long since passed away, ani with it all future politi opes of the author—all farther, even hy ical semblance of adherence to the principles t 80 Ostentatiously promuigated, being no La fitable, are unceremoniously ab: and " Jaekson {8 coolly informed that if the Austrian govern- ment deem pro, w arrest an American citizen temjo- rarily 10; ing in ite territory—no matter on what pretext—they may keep bim in close confinement as long as they please, without permitting him to communicate either ier cer or by lette, with any one—may try him at their own leisure before # secret tribunal, the names of whise judges and the locality in which it waa held they can Cpertelanghor 6 refase to give—may con- vist him with or without tes 7, and sentence him to eny punishment known to the iy of despotism, without the slightest apprehenston of any effective inter- ference on the part of his government. This fs no exag- geration, but simply a truthful statement of the ground assumed by his last despatch to Mr. Jackson im relation to the case of the unfortunate Spear. Tt was after the receipt of this most unexpected and humiliating document, the comtents of which had been romptly communteated to Count Buol by his agent at abington, that our Minister, seeing no other alterna- applied for a pardon, as before stated. Months ing elapsed without his receiving sny reply, and bdeirg several times unsuccessful in obtaining a personal interview with Count Buol on the subject, although calling at the hours appointed fcr that purpose, it be- care quite apparent that the Imperial government had no intention of notit it, and for the good reason that the letters on which they allege Spear was convicted, and @ request for which was coupled with the pri for don, as abcve described, either had no existence in st, or cont m which could be pervertei into ‘ justification of his most inhuman punishment. In ad- Gttion to thir, after having been pr slighted in a manner at once #0 undi ant ly sive as to attract the attention of oe | es Buol at his own levee on San evening, the 1! inat., Mr. Jaskson was informed by him, when compelled to speak, or assume the res) \billty of deliberate and intentional insult, that ‘'ns whatever had been done in relation to the matter.’ Next day he wrote a note to Buol with- Sore ees, ato, ee terran fr Doce as the \ letters or certified o A get in jon of Spear, and informing atehip tat er affirmative answer was reosived within four should at the expiration of that time, with- Tew on ‘9 Court at which Re eoule ‘no longer remain with honor to his country or advantage to its citizens. ‘This letter was to Buol on Tacsday the 12th, about 10 A.

On the following | & Verdal massage was aaat to Mr. Jackson by Baron Werner, the Unior Secretary of Foreign Affairs, to the effect that he desirad t>se0 hia at his earliest convenionce. In compiisncs with tht: re- quest, our Minister calied at ths toreiga Olice, wheu he was informed by the Baron, *ita » coolness whick will Appear almost incomprenensible to republicsa readers, that Count Buol, who had left for Paris the previous evenivg, (a day, by the way, eacier then ho was to have gone,) had netsba1 of Eeropean diplomacy and the devastog tricks which iv unbiysbi: gly em sloys in the furtherance of its ends, comments on those facts wou'd be both idle and uaneces sary. On being urged by the Baron to \ake back hia note, Mr: Jackson, of course promp:ly and emphatically de- clined. Werner then said, with much excitement, that the whole matter was fpolied, and on being asked by Jackeon whether he must {nfer from that tast the pardon would be revoked, ne replied that he aid not know. Spear is now at liberty, and gone to see his trienda fa Plankenburg. To those who may be at « loss to soncerve what pemrice motive the Austriaa goverament could have in tbus brutally outraging a poor, decrepid and feiendiess st anger, it may be here proper to state chat bis arrest took ortly efter the Koesta affair at Smyrna. One of the most striking characteristics of despotism is that of belag as overwhelming'y sensitive in regard to all that affects its own pride or usurped privileges, anit is ra bb Se dist egardful of the feelings and ‘rights of those whom it oan outrage without caute and with seaming impunity. cS) ’s crime was that of nm an American citizen, and Be ebocioms roe ope hadst: be was enviecles, Peg ¢ Jess aggravated on: petrated upon 6, was a part of the pitt Teeoe Oy whish the Austrian officials have sought to obtain, by the persecution of heip- Jess and wi g individuals, a meagre instalment of the revenge which they entertain sgainat, but have neither the courage to seek or the ability to extoré from our government for tue galling wounds inflicted by Cap- tain naar on their arrogant rational vanity. If called for by Congress the correspondeuce ia re'a- tion to this case, now in the State Department, will full substantiate the truth of what! have here written, 1 could give you the cetails of several other cases, but this letter is already too long. The position asaui by Mr. Jackson is one which, no matter what Mr. Maroy may think of it, can never be abandoned by our government without dishonor, and one which our veople can never be induced to surrender to all the despotisms on earth combined. Iam no agandist—no lover of notoristy seekers—have through every country which 1 have visited without the slightest difficulty with either the gear or people—have never gratuitously intruded my opinions upon any one, or shrunk from ® full and mani avowal of them when interrogated. Tlike the Austrian and Hungarian people very well, nave refrained as much as p2ssible from all intercourse with the pretended revolutionists and reft 3 whom [ have met in Europe and Asia, as I bave found the vest of those whom I have encountered to be mere idle, conceited aud impracticable dreamers, and no small number of the rest have proved as lary, worth:ess and unmitigated rascals esover Heaven, in’ ite inscrutable wisdom, suffered to bring implied di upon # noble ceuse. Generals Klapka, Kmetty, Guion, aad ali the other trully gallant and patriotic men who ware prominent ac- tors in the struggles of ’48, conscious that all vestige of the rece enars eeias of that mem or period is for the present crushed out, and that any ill advised attempt to revive it before the proper time can only result in r- retrievable ruin to thousands of the most worthy fami- lies, have either quietly retired to watoh the dawning of ® more auspicious perio4, or actively e 4 themselves —some in the service of the Suitan, who generously ex- tended to them, ia their hour of tria!, that protection which Christian sovere' refased—while others, like Garibaldi, who commands a little steamer plying vetween Genca and Marseilles, seek to obtain an honest livelihood, and thus vindicate the purity of their |Restees motives, These men entertain the most sovereign los thing and con- tempt for the mouthing and scribbling dem ig gues who are go incessantly seubiog to intrude taemselves on pub- lic attention through the agency of raving manifestoes. All talk about reviving the nationalities, at least for the time beg, is nothing but bald caat and moonshine. The fact is most, if not all, of those buried nationalities died, simply because they were worn out and rotten. Until the inauguration of another French repu rite there is no hope for Europe. When that glorious day arrives tyrants will have good cause to tremble. The perjured perfidy of the past has taught the people the fatal folly of trusting to the falee promises of terrided sings.

Cin, Men to his constituents of the great Buncombe dia- trict or “Orth Carolina, on the polities of the day, in re- gard to why”? We are reduced, from the pressure upon ovr colamms, t. ® brief extract or two. Mr, Cli:gran ops.04 with the slavery question; aud, in reference to the abolih, ’2ist#, abolition policy anf mock philanthropy of Fugland touching American slavery, he cites the astounding facta recs'a'ly reprinted in the Edin- burg Review, from official authoxtty, concerning the sa- vege, atrocious amd most horrible punishments and tor- tures inflic'ed upon the poor Bindoo serfs by their lordiy masters of the East india Corapany. He thus establishes the mock philguthropy ani crocodile sympathy of John Bull for our slaves of the South. Next he refers to the’ Commercial jealousy of Engiand egainst the United States as the real motive for her efforts in behalf of American sbolitonism and disunion, in which matter he agrees with our own oft repeated views of the subject. Comiee atleogth to the campaign before us, Mr. Cogman thus proceeds: — As It is our high duty to make a fair effort to malatain, it ponetdle, tbe existing Union of the Siates, what ought we to Co in the approac! Presidential contest? Let us take asurvey of we field of scticn ard of ihe combattants in it.

For the last tweive mon‘hs it has not had friends enoigh im eny one State of the Union to raise a ban- nerinitaname. I[:s fuemer members have either gone into other organizations or are waiting t> take some new ition, In the North most of them have united with he abolitionists and free soll demoerats, and formed a sectional party, which is helé tog-sher msinly by its hostility to the South. In fact, its only leading principle ianti-slavery. It bas adopted the designat‘on of ‘“re- Sepcaiger perty,’’ thorgh it _is more commonly called the lack republican party, The latter desigoation is the more appropriate, Lot only because, while it is devoted to the elevation of the negroes, it Igaores, disregards aud contemns the viene of wnite men, but also besause it is e@counterfeit. Mr. Jefferson once raid that the olddede- Taliets would attempt to (a futo power by stsaliog the Dame of republican, and prediction has been verified in our Gay. The Jeacicg principle of our Revolutionary struggle, and also that of the old republicans ot Jeffer- son’s day, was the question of the rigut of the people in each locality to govern themselves; and this gr®at pri- vilege is now denied by this party which seeks at the same time to dep:ive the white mea of the Territories of the right of self government, and to put negrces on a level with them, and thus to raise the latter to a higher station than God Almighty hes fitted them for. If their policy could be carried into practice, you and I know, fellow citizens, that the experiment would merely end in the degradation and destruction of the white race. The cardidate of such # party, whoever he may be, can have no claims to your support. A second association, ‘whose candi¢ate is already in the field, iy the Know No- thing or ‘American party, Twelve months ago it seemed to formidable in tts ation and = num- bers. When assembled in convention, however, last June, it in well known that on the adoption of its platform condemning further Serer’ agitation, the dele- Gates of twelve Northern States, wherein its stronghth chiefly lay, seceded from the party. In the recont con- vention of last month, however, vhese same delegations eame back and succeeded, by a large msjority, in repeal- ing and striking out the identical sestion which they had objected to, ard obliged Southe:n members, in their turn, to leave the convention. It shen nominated Fillmore and Donelson for the first and recond offices of the govern- ment. Mr. ulmore, it is conceded, has no strengtn in the North. This is in part owing to tne fact that he, in accordance with & plain constitutions! provisions, placed his signature to the Fogitive Slave act, and subsequent. ly, in obedience to his official oath, endeavored to carry it out. He has been so generally repudiated, that I have not heard the first individual express the opinion that he can get » single electoral vote ina free State, Ia tho South he has stood on much bet er ground; but his posi- tion on the pencing quest‘ona is unknown, and he is es- sentially weakened by being the nominee of the Know Nothings, stould he accept. In fect, if he be » member of the Order, as seems to be estavlished, he would, if elected, be bound by bis oath to carry out the wishes’ of the Grand Counail, in whisb the North has the control, Waiving, however, these objections, there is another which is controlling. Even it Mr. Fillmore should carry the several Southern States claimed for him, he could not thereby succeed. The only effec: of dividing the Southern vote would pe to throw the election into the House of Representatives. The recent election of b cpopren by that body shows what would be the reeult of s Presidential contest. If the so- called naticnal Know No! had voted for our caadidate, Gov. Aiken, he would ate een certainly lected. i f last ballet nage a be bed rected, dia get on the day pre- vious, beaten his competitor, Mr. Baaka, an avowed Know Notbiog—not to speak of three others, two of whom were from slsve States, who might have been counted on. Should the Presidential election de- volve on the House, there will either be no elect! all, or the black republisans must succesd. It ulte probable, theretcre, that the Northern delegates in the Koow Nothing Convention permitted Mr. Fillmore to be nominated to effect this@esult. As they were able to repeal the old platform, they evidently had strength enough to bave de'eated him, and it seems probable that they got out of the way, or connived at his nomiuation, to give the black iia! candidate a double chance, 80 that, if Fe should fail before the people, he might suc: ceed in the House. As voter, therefore, given for Mr. Filmore, under such circumstances, would merely be thrown sway, it is not probable that, even in the South, he will carry a single Siate. The great antegoni-t, there- fore, of the anti-slavery party must be the nomivee of the democracy. Tne party has been essentially modified within the last few years. In its convention of 1852 is adopted for the first ime a recognition of the resolutions of the Vi Legislature of 1798, the embodiment of the creed of the ol ie shee party of Jefferson; and, subsequently, it has affirmed most strongly, On all occa: sions, principles sustaiving the rights of the South aad the equality of the Stater. While thus acting, however, during the late struggles, so many of its former members left it that it is conceded that it would bave been beaten in almost every State in the Union but for the assistance of ;atriotic whigs who have marched to its support. En- oonrs; by accessions, standing firmly on the rinciples of the genuine republican party of the olden Time, and conscious that the destiny of the country de pends on its action, it is marsballing its ranks, aad is ready to go into battle with unusual ardor, ands con’- dence worthy the great cause in which it 1s engaged. Is it not entitled to the support cf all conservative and Patriotic men?” ‘Mr. Cilogman, in conclusion, earnestly ap) servative whigs and Know Nothings of the South to fuse wi h the democracy, as the only way cf sa’‘ety for the constitution and the rights of the South. Incidentally Mr. mre bo ‘applauds the administration and glorifies the ‘‘little giant,” trom which we infer that his choise for the Presidency lies between Pierce and Dougl qT address seers to be especially levelled as an appea! to the Know Nothings of Old Bancombe, and we pre: that they will take it into deliberate consideration.

Milwaukie and Missie- sippi Railroad and Wisconsin Lake Shore Railroad sold at previous prices. Chicago and Rock Islané was more freely offered to-day. The announcement of the dividend of five per cent has not inflated the stock so much as anticipated.

The dividend is satisfactory, but it ie no more than stockholders outside of Wall atreet have anticipated. Reading Railroad is falling back again gradually.
