When the Crimean war broke out, and Sardinia joined tho ‘Western Powers sgainst Russis, and the Sardinian con- tingent was raise, be was placed in command, went to the Crimea, and bebaved in the noblest manner, making bim golf famous as one of the generals of Europe.

He is ready and eager for the fray. THE MARQUIS D’AZEGLIO, SARDINIAN AMBASSADOR. ‘Tho Niagara brought us the intelligeace that on the 18th ultimo, after an interview betwen Lord Malmesbury and the Marquis d’Azeglio, the Special Sardinian Envoy, who had just reached London, Sardinia agreed to the principle of a general disarmament on condition that she and tho other Italian States were admitted tothe proposed Con. grees, This formed the text of the final proposition of England, mentioned by Lord Derby, which Austria has since e0 decidedly rejected, and which rejection is con- sidered as the tocsin of war. Victor Emmanuel Tapareili, Marquis d’ Azeglio, belongs to one of the oldest families in Piedmont, and one of conside- rable distinction at the present time. ‘His father is the Marquis Roberto d’Azoglio, who has played a distinguished part in the advaucement of free ideas and the consolidation of free institutions in Pied. mont. His labors in promoting education among the p2o- ple, and his championship of civil and religious liberty, | ‘without distinction of creed or sect, have contributed no Jess than the services of his sons to render the name of ‘Azeglio dear to the Picdmontese. He is also a great pa trom and connoisseur of the fine arts. During the reign of Carlo Alberto, before the constitutional system was intro- duced into Piedmont, he was one of the foremost cham- pions of liberal opinions; and, at the commencement of the Constitutional régime, he beaded with his signature a petition, which was also signed by many thousands of the ‘most influential persons in the kingdom, praying that the Waldenses and other sectarians not of the State faith might be admitted to the enjoyment of tull civil rights. An immediate consequence of this etep was that Carlo Al- berto issued on the 17th February, 1848, av edict grantiog to the Waldenses those privileges which, on June the 19th following, were extended to the Jows and all other secta- rians. ‘The Marquis Messimo d’Azeglio followed in the foot- steps of his father. From his earliest youth he was do- not merely to liberal opinions, but to the most libe- ral and epnobling pureuits. The developement of coas‘i- freedom in Piedmont in 1847-48 had been for ears by & movement in that direction, shared by men who subsequently, like Azeglio himself, be- came ministers. Messime d’Azeglio contributed to the sum of argument in favor of the constitutional system a pamphlet entitled “Uitiri Casi di Romagna,” in which ho Set up the standard of rational liberty against the mai theories of Mazzini end his school. It was not from inclination that he took part in politics gan active agent. But he had acquired immense infla- ence with the people, because, though opposed from tem- tas much as from principle to the violent policy advocated by some demagogues, he believed to be a sincere patrios and a thorough supporter of liberal ideas. The young constitution of Piedmont was sorely tried by the temporizing policy and the military mus- fortunes of Carlo Aibert. When he abdicated, and his son concluded an armistice with Radetzkey, the Piedmontese Parliament, filled with vaunting en- thusiasts, refused to ratify it, and endeavored to force on & renewal of the war which had alrcady proved ‘80 disastrous. Victor Emmanuel dissolved the Parliament, but only met with a flerce opposition. is first Minister was De Launay, who was ieved to be a reactionist. ‘When the King desired to prove that such were not his tendencies, he called to the head of aifairs Messimo @Axzegho. Even bis infuence did not prove eoough to in- duce the new Parliament to accept the obnoxious treaty. ‘The Parliament was agin dissolved, by a prociamation or manifesto, which wee covntersigned by Azeglio. “The sacred name,’ ‘allenga, in his History of Pied- mont, “of that noblest and purest of Italian patriots, ‘was a soother to the minds of reasovable men, and from ‘that momeni all disquietude was laid at rest.” ‘Active politics were not to the taste of the Marquis Mes- gimo d’Azeglio. Still, he continued to act as the prime minister and councillor of his sorvere'ga. ntecedents had fittec him ratber to be the contemplator than the Dusy politician. “It is impossible,” saya the author we have already cited, “to mention person en titled to feelings of deeper veneration or warmer a(fec- tion. A poet, an artiet, a musician, a nobleman of retined tastes and pleasures, proud to have earned—to earn evea now—his bread by his pen and pencil, D'Azeglio has been for mapy years, when that title might cost a mau his , the patriot of Italy par excellence.” He commanded the respect of the ‘tyrants,’ as they were called, while alwaye carrying with bim the sympathies of the people. ‘When others dared not show themecives, he passed from place to place, fearlese, though not unen¢angered. With ‘the patriotic fervor of Mazzini, but withoot bis dangerous and impracticable doctrine, he, too, strove for Italian unity. “He directed,” says Galienga, ‘organized, creat- ed, public opinion im Iialy; that opinion which was ‘wrought into action in 1848. At that juacture D’ Azegtio bore arme, and gave bis blood at Vicenza.” He came back after the explosion of that vast dclugion to see waat could be donefor his country. ‘Disabled by wounds aad infirmities, and still more unfitted for great exertions by Jeigurely, indolent, somewhat epicureau, artistic habit, he took but little share in public business, except by fits and starts; butunder the pressure of difficulties he rose sublime. His voice im the Chamber, his pre- sence in the Cabinet, were again and again the safeguard of the nation.” He acquired ascendancy over the King, and counteracted the intrigues of the courtiers. It is only just to Victor Emmanuel to su; that he fully appr d his worth and virtues. At last, in 1853, being unprepared to go the lengths in church and state reform demanded by the necessity of the case, as | people and the other to the soldiers—and urged jon by an well as by the poople, he made way for Count Cavour, a | man of more energy, and, thongh quite an aristocrat, of | more public spirit The Marquis Messimo d’Azeglio wat the model of an aristocratic whig of the best order, full of the theories of liberty, but balting in the practice when it touched on the privileges of the aristocracy. When, however, be retired from the ministry, it was not to oppose his successor; onthe contrary, he gave Count | Cavour the benefit of his support on al! possibie occasions, In 1855, whon the peace of the kingdom was threatened on the Convent bill, the King was guided by Azezlio's ad- vice. Tle sccompanied his Sovereign to France aud England, appropriately to receive bis share of the nomage due to inen who have done eo much for cozatitational freedom, and on whore fuinre conduct so much of tho hope of Itsly—of Europe—reats.

LOUIS NAPOLEON, EMPEROR OF FRANCE. On Louis Napoleon—alternately the Prince, the outcast, the fugitive, the prisoner, the pampbieteer and the Em- peror—the eyes of the world are now fixed, as upon the arbiter of the destinies of Europe. Pictured as the em- bodiment of a tyrant, we now behold him ia the anoma- lous position of the verge of a war on behalf of the op- pressed. His life will be read with interest at this critical period. Prince Charles Louis Napoleon, the third son of Louis | Bonsparte, King of Holland, and of Queen Hortense, was born at Paris, the 20th of April, 1808. He was tho first Prince born under the imperial régime, and his birth was | apnounced by salutes of artillery throughout tho vast e: tent of the empire, from Hamburg to Rome, from the Pyrenees to the Danube. France was then at the beight of its grandeur and prosperity. The ae of the Em} Napoleon reorganized Europe, and under the delusive hope that his power would be iwherited, he greeted with joy an event which promised to bear down his name to posterity. He had hot, as yet, thought of a divorce from the Empress Jose- phine. The Prince Leuis was inacribed in the family re- gister of the imperial dynasty, with all the pomp of a conseoration. He was baptized the 4th of November 1810, at the Palace of Fontiinbleau, by Cardinal Fesch} being held at the fount by the Emperor aad Fapress Marie Louise. His mother gave to his education a grave aad severe turn, and most happily for him, whose life has 80 full of strange viciseitudes, whose destiny hs exhibited reverses of fortune, that seein rather Lape | romance thaffsober historf The nephew was a speci: favorite with his uncle, who watched bis infancy with the Although absorbed by the affairs of the empire, Napoleon gave much attention to the mental and physical progrees of the young Prinoe, and this solicitude ‘wae not diminished by the birth of the King of Rome, Be loaded him with caresses, and in the transports of ten- derpess presented him to the people from his window in the Tuileries, as if to make him the adopted child of the nati ion, Bot a sudden change destroyed all these illusions, The empire fell; the Emperor became an exile, and his family dispersed itself in the foreign lands. At the age of seven Touis Napoleon quitted France with his mother for a mocest retreat in Switzerland, at the village of Aranburg, on the shores of Lake Constance, where, under the guid. ance of maternal instruction, his character developed itelf under the most favorable circumstances. His body was fortified by gymmastio exercises, and his mind flourished with solid instruction. Having obtained the ‘Swies citizenship, he Thun, where he essayed to become asoldier by taking part in the exercises and going through all tho manau- vres. Too art of artillery, however, was most congenial to his instivcts, and to this essential part of war he appliod bimeelf with the most assiduous study. While at Thun he received the news of the revolution of July, 1830, This awakenod in his mind dreams of glory. ' He 1 the quiet exile to become a conspi- rator, amd wit! bis brother headed the Italian insurgents in Romagne, who thought that the hour for deliverance from the yoke of Austria bad arrived. Behold him now leading sn undisciplined band of independents, crying “ Vive la Liberte,” against Rome. Disperged by the firat encounter with the Austrians, he death only to witness the last agonies of ‘his who was suddenly attacked with a mortal mala- dy, end-expired in hisarms. Exhausted with sufferings fatigues, dejected by grief, tracked by the Roman po- lice, menaced with dangers on al! sides, be was saved by bis courageous mother. Queen Hortense, spreading the report that be had fled to Greece, by the aid of a disguise and an Englieh passport, she traversed with him a great part of Taly. Not without great risk and daring, to ‘brave the proscription that interdicted France to om, she ventured to enter Paris, and announced to Louis Philippe ber arrival with the Prince. He was in the midst of ap access of fever and oovered with leeches, when the imperious summons came for both to quit Parisand France ipetantly. The two proscribed took the road to London. Bis stay in England was improved for his instruction by an attentive study of the institutions and government of tbat country. Returning toSwitzerland in 1831, he refused to enter into the revolutionary projects proposed to him. ‘by agents from Poland and Italy. The death of the son of Napoleon in 1832 made him the Emperor’s heir, and be was subjected to solicitations from insurgents on one side, snd to espionage of the French government on the other; but occupying himself with study, ne publish- ed, in 1683, a pamphlet entitled ‘‘Considcrations, Political and Military,on Switzerland.”” In 1834 he was named Captain of Artillery, at Berue, thus commencing, like his vnele, in the artillery, with the title of Captain, and in a ye next grand act of his checkered life was his enter- Strasbourg—o most rash and unfortunate af- 3 hoped, by a sudden move, to excite an insurrec- tion, in connection with a few officers who had reaped glory under bis uncle’s baonor, and through the sympa. thy of the French nation for bis name and the souvenirs it ed, to be proclaimed Emperor. Although fortified With two most magniloquent prociamations—one to the enthusiasm almost superhuman, he failed most signally in this more than Quixotic ’ attempt. His mo. ther again became his protector, and obtained from Lonis Philippe pardon, on ’ condition _ that he should reside in America.’ He sailed for Phila- deiphia in the Andromeda, Somo months after, the Prince received at New York the sad nows of his mother’s sickness. Returning to Switzoriand he caw her expire on the 5th of Octover, 1887. The French go- demauded that he should leave Switzerland. The Swiss offered to protect him, but he departed volan- acily for Lenton, where be published a pamphlet called “Ideas Napoleon,” in which be reproduced all the grand imperial thoughts that so torroonted bie brain. Suil convinced that Franco was unhappy without him, he conspired once moreto place himself at its head by vio” lence. The expedition against Boulogne was concelyet— & more foolhardy attempt than the one against Strashourg. With e few devoted friends he landed from a bark at tio point of day, marched against the garrison, faiiod com. pletely, was taken prisoner, transported to Paris and con demned to p imprisonment in tho dungeors at Ham. What a reveree! Yethe did not complain. Tk was his destiny, to which he wag obedient, To probe France with the sword of Napoleon, with tho hope of dinding within all those wishes and longings for a return of Bonpartism and the régime of the empire, was his ruling passion. Writing to o frieud from Ham, he ssye:—"In toe meantime I do not desire to leave ti place, for bere Iam in my piace; with the name that T Dear it is neceasary that I should'be in the shade of tho dungeon of in the light of power.” This light from tha depth of bis duvgeon gives an insight into his whole cha- ructer. Ab irresistible impalse always possessed his mint that nig name was destined to rule France, aud that b presence only waa neceseary as @ spark to determine the explosion of the latent Bonapartism.

MARSHAL CANROBERT. Frangois Certain Canrober$, Marshal of France, Sena- tor, was born in the year 1809, and belongs to an honora- bie family of Bretagne. In the year 1825 ho was admit ted into the military school of St. Cyr, which ho left in 1828 os second licutenant in the Forty seventh regiment | of the line. He became full lieutenant in 1832, and em- barked for Algeria in 1835, where he took part from the commencement in the expedition of Mascara. He aftor- wards assisted at the taking of Tlemeeu, in the engage ments of Sidi-Yacoub, Tapia and Sikkak. Being mate Captain in 1837, he was present at the sioge of Constan- tine, and made one of tho assaulting column, receiving his first wound iu the breach by the side of Col. Combes, who, boing atout to expire, recommended him to Marshal Vallée in these words:—“Thero is a great future for this officer.” Having been decorated with the legion of honor, he returned to France in 1839, and was commissioned to organise out of the remains éf the Carlist bands a bat- ts for the Foreign legion. On his return to Africa in 1841 ho was distinguished by his coolness and his active im the venturesome ox- itions with which he was | especially at the eck of Monzaria. He commanded a battalion of foot regiment of the line, aad Teduced to subjection the the tribes of Bas ergot ne % accomplished with gro <b jloody fighting he enemy was ¢n- them, and returned victorious, with two Sheiks ss pr! After having commanded the Second regiment of the Foreign he was placed at the bead of the Third regiment of ‘Zouaves, which he led with the same success againat the Kabyles and the tribes of Jurjora. Afterwards, leaving Aumale in November, 1840, he relieved Bou Sada, where the garrison was be- ed; rallied the main body of the army before Zastoha, assault on that town. This Canrobert became attached to the fortunes of the Prince Louis Napoleon, who ap 4 him General of Brigade on the 13th of January, 1850, made him ald-de-camp, and gave him a command in Paris, where he used his efforts to put down the insurrection ,w! wod the coup delat of pean el mane hpeig moe ne mens entrusted wan Oe well-understood duty of inspecting the departments, an tical condition of affairs.

He afterwards assisted the expedition of the Crimea with all his efforts, sustain- ing at the 9 of the Alma the first shock of the Rus- sians, and, notwithstanding a very hot and rapid fire, bo cétablished ‘bimeelf on the. heights until the’ arrival of General Forey. He was wounded in the arm by the bursting of a shell, but he nover rested uptil the end of the day—the 24th of Septem- ber. Two days afterwards Marshal St. Arnaud, who felt his end approaching, to him the command-in chief, atthe same time ‘him a confiden- tial letter to the Emperor, dated on ‘12th of March pro- viously. Tho new General ausitdt marched upon Sebasto- pol, and constructed a great many batteries and the first parallel, and opened fire on the 17th of October; but hav- ing recognized the impossibility of taking the place by a coup de main, he undertook, in the midst ounta- ble obstacles’ and at a most severe season, the gigantic labors which resulted in acomplete investment. This first period of the siege—the most terrible—was marked by the bloody battle of Inkermann on the ber, and the battles of Balaklava and Eupatoria, and the continual sorties of the enemy. In consequence of the re- fusal of Lord Raglan to co-operate in a plan of attack pro- sed by M. Canrobert, tho in view of the increas- ing embarrasement of the situation of the allies, resigned the command-in chief into the hands of Gener lor on the 16th of May, 1865, and returned to his post at the head of the firat In two months afterwards he quitted the Crimea, ana in the following year he received, aloug with MM. Bogquet and Randon, the baton of Marshal of France (18th of March, 1856). By this new dignity he ig Sonstor by right, and is Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor since 1855. BARAGUAY D’HILLIERS, COMMANDER OF ONE OF THE FRENCH DIVISIONS TO CO-OPRRATE WITH SARDINIA. Baraguay d’ Hilliers, it is announced by the Niagara, will command one ot the divisions of the French army to co-operate with Sardinia, and is, therefore, of note nm the present crisis. Be was in 1849 military governor of Rome and comman- der-in-chief of the French army in Italy, though formeriy be had been « French prisoner of war in Portchester castle, and at a time when no psrole was granted to any prisoner, whatever might bo his rank. As a goldicr of fortune he very early in life distinguished himself among the leaders of the French revolutionary armies, and at the ge of thirty years ho was already the commander” in-chief of a division of the army under Bonaparte, in the celebrated campaigns of 1796 and 1797 in Italy, in which the Austrian armies in that country were all ‘but annibilate¢, and which terminated in the treaty of the 9th April, 1797. By this treaty, and by the flagitious acts of injustice aud robbery which followed it, Venice, waich had vainly hoped to escape the rapacity of the French by making frequent and large contributions of money and supplies to Bovaparte during his struggle with the Aus. trians, no sooner saw them humbled than she found her- self involved in the toils of a designing and most insidious enemy. Bovaparte seized on a trifling occasion to com- mence hostilities with the ropublic, and sent Baraguay @’Ailliers with a French corps to take possession of Venice. The nobles would have defended it, and the British fleet was at hand, but the le were smitten with the prevailing mania of liberty and fraternity. They manned their gallies and brought over Baraguay d’Hilliers and 10,000° men, who, in the course of a fow weeks stripped it of everything valuable to be found within its walla; among the rest the four brazen horses of Co- rinth, which had stood on their pedestals in the Place of St. Mark upwards of 600 ycars, were sent to Paris, and set up om the ‘Arc de Triomphe,” in the Place du Carrousel, whence they were taken by the Duke of Wellington, after the fall of Paris, and gent back to Venice. We next hear of Bareguay d’Hilliers on his return in the train of Napo- leon, alter aye campaign. The Emperor escaped the vigilance of the British cruisers, and got safely into a French port. Not so many of those who followed in his suite, for Genoral Dessaix, the best cat officer in the French army, was taken by the cruisers, as were the celebrated Tallien and Baraguay d’Hilliers. The two latter were brought to Portchester Castle, and shortly after exchanged. Deasaix received some indig- nity, real or fancied, from his captors, and ever after declared himscif the personal ememy of every iehman. Ho was the man (o whose skill and courage Napoleon owed the battle of ——, The battle was decided—the victory gained—when Dessaix rallica the French cavalry. ‘The Austrian cavairy, which had borne everything before them, had extended thoir line too widely, as troops are too apt io doin moments of great auceces, Deesuix saw the error, and seized the critical instant to forra up and charge.

In the Henatp of the 4th instant J find an article, copied from the London Observer of the 16th ult., which betrays ‘a want of acquaintance with the subject treated of, viz. | Captain Palliser’s expedition to the Hudson’s Bay [erri- tory. Your London contemporary, doubtless uncon- sciously, confounds two separate and distinct expeditions in one. He remarka:— A short time since a maguilo- quent despatch from Captain Palliser to Sir E. B. Lytton was read at the Geographical Society, which gave a most flattering account of the discoveries made by tho gallant officer; but very different accounts reach us from Canada. So far is the expedition from being successful, that ia con- wequence of its utter usclossnces and the quantity of mo- ney expended upon it, the expedition would appoar to bave been been brought to a cloze A letter from Toronto, dated March 98, says:—‘ The government exploration of the route to Red River has very properly been stopped. The cost was out of all proportion to tha value of the results obtained. Fifty thousand dollars will not pay for the expenses already incurred, and I believe not a single point has been established,’ The expedition referred to in the latter part of this quo- tation is not that under the direction of Captain Palliser, but the expedition sent by the Canadian governmont, under the direction of Professor Hind, of Triaity College, Teronto; and although the expenses incurred by Professor Hind’s expedition exceeded the amount appropriated by the Canedien Parliament, the expedition was recalied, not because the coet was out of all proportion to the value of the results obtained, but because the general revenue of Cevada for the laet financial year fell short of the ox: penditure by about five hundred thousand dollars, About three weeks ago I had the pleasure of hearing Profezeor Hind read a paper before the Canadian Im stitute at Toronto, giving the results of his explorations, and I may etate that ali who heard him wore Mealy pleased with the very intoresting and valuah' discoyeries made by bim, Indeed, one discovery wlone mae by him would more than counterbalance a huadred fold the total expense incurred. I allude to the discovary of tie old chancel of the soulb brauch of the Saskatchowan. It ap- pears that at some former period the south branch flowed aimost due east, until it eutered the Assiniboins river, near Fort Garry; but owing, doubtiess, to volcanic agency, 8 ridge of about sixty feet high above the water, in the fouth branch of the Saskatchewan, at the elbow, was up- heaved, thereby causing the south branch to flow ina N.N. E. direction, until itenters the north branch at a Point midway between ariton Houso and Fort Nispe- ween. This ridge was thrown up about twelvo miles east of the elbow. Prof. Hind states that by constructing an embankment about a miie long and about eighty fect nigh across the gouth Saskatchewan, at the elbow, it will caure the waler to flow again in the old channel, thereby giving & direct water communication for steamboats of a consi- derabie draft of water from Red River to Chesterfield Houee, near the east base of the Rocky Mountains, and re- ducing the distance about 400 miles. The old chancel of the south branch ig about a mite broad on an average, and the banks vary from 250 to 400 fect in height; and what is not a little remarkable, there are lakes extending along the old channel for a distance of moro than fifty tiles, some of them being ag much as rixty-six feetdeop, Tho roport prepared by Prof. Hind is now being printed by order and at tue expense of the Canadian government. 1 could ptc's many other Important particulers, but fexr 1 havo tres) sted too much alreacy on your valuable co- enne.

Buckingham, in his annual ne which was sent tothe Legislature of Connecticut on the 4th a discourses on the political affairs of tho country :— The eee) of the goneral government, and the manner in which they shall be exercised, may or may not be sub- jects for direct State legigla‘ion; but the State is an inte- gral part of the nation, and a refusal by the geveral gov- ernment to use its delegated powers for the benefit of those from whom they wore derived, or the assumption of such as are beld in reserve by the States, or the perversion of its powers to purposes not contemplated at the time of the confederation, may well be regarded as fore! evil, not only to our commercial interests, but to our do- mestic . Ideem it, tt both the right and ‘the duty of the representatives of the people to discuss these questions and to express their opinions thereon, in a manner £0 clear and empbatic as will be likely to influ ence the government to use its powers, and to use them rightfully. power to Lin od foreign and domestic commerce has been transferred from the individual States to the oe government; and, at a time like this, when the revenue of the goversment falls short of its expenditures, and its indebtedocss is increasing—when the products of foreign lsbor compete with and reduce the price of our own—it is eminently proper for us to demand that this power sha!! be exercised in levying and Kolaten ng and imposts 80 as to give epcouragement to and build up and estab- lish our great industrial interests, and secure the nearest market and the highest reward to American labor. ), also, while our inland waters are declared by Con. gress to be common highways, and are under its jurisdic: tion and control; while power is givea that body to regu- late commerce among States as well as with foreign nations, the people, by thoir representatives, should urge the importance of’ exercising that power, 80 as to make deeper and broader and safer the harbors and channels of our lakes and rivers, and thus give increased facilities and encourt ent to domestic commerce. The President, in a late mossage to Congress, urges the purchase, or, if necessary, the conquest of Cuba with a zeal worthy of motives as high and noble as the abolition of the slave trade, and the civilization and christianiza- tion of benighted Africa, He argues that the geographi- cal position of that island is such that so long as it re. maine in pogsession of a foreiga Power our commerce will be exposed to perpetual icjury and annoyance in time of Peace and to destruction ia time of war; and he asks that an appropriation of money be made, and power placed in his hands to negotiate for its purchase. The President also asks for authority to employ, at his discretion, the land and naval forces of the United States for the ction of American citizens in travelling through foreign countries, and sustains his application by examples drawn from the executive departments of France and other imperial governments posaessing the war making power. Kindred in character to the forogoing {a the recommendation of the President that the govern- ment assume a protoctorate and establish military posts witbin the limits of a week but dependent nation. Those views, carried out, would place our army and navy under the orders of the President in all parts of the world; and, yielding to others the same rights we claim for ourselves, Ree open our country to the armies of every other ion. The conclusion which the mind would naturally and ra- pidly reach from this view of the subject is, that when ever we judge any country or colony, either now or pros- ively, endangers our commerce, we may negotiate for {ts purchase, and if unsuccessfal be justified in taking possession by force, in accordance with the despotic maxim that “might makes right.”” This struggle for the concentration of power in tho hands of the President, or the central governm 2nt, is serl- ously agitating the minds of the American people. They behteve that itis to have, and is intended to have, a coa- trolling influence on the all absorbing questioa of slavory. On the one hand they are advocating, and on the other opposing it, with a zeal and energy which show how deep is the interest they fecl in the foal iasue. The citizens of Connecticut regard slavery as a system that paratyzes industry, dries up the soarces of prosperity, obstructs the wheels of progrosa ia the cause of education, civilization and Christianity, ani conflicts irrecoacilably with the principles of human liberty. Thoy regard it as the creature of local laws, having no rightful exlatouce be- yond State boundaries; ‘and while they countonance no interference with it, a8 it existe withio the limita of our sister States, they will never acquiesce in its exceasion by the generai government, without entering their solemn protest aga'nst the exercise of powers #0 uaanthorized by bs & stitution, and 80 hazardous to the tranquillity of be Uni Supreme Court—Chambers.
