FRANCE- i Pane, Oct. 14 The marriage of the Duke da Montpenatev with tba Prineeaa Louies, of Spain, haa occupied the greater part of the pon tic attention. On the 3d inttant, Senor Martinez do la Ito e, smbeeeador of the Queen of Spain In Ptria, wa admitted to a pritate audience of the King rind Qoecn of the French, at which he preteo led rrpliea from the Queen of Spain and her mother to the demand of the hand ol the Infan t Lt.uia for the Duke de Montpeneier. Louia Philippe, by an ordiosncc of the 6th inttant, Ms pardoned opwarda of 100 prieonera on the cctcioo of the matriago of the Duke de Mont penaier. Among thoae whoae penaltica were commuted, are five ol'the eccompliceeof Quen Mitel, who waa tcnteneed to death by the court . peera In 1841, for an attempt against thelivea the Dokea of Oil an, Nemours and Aumale. light other political offenders, implicated in the insurrectionary movements of La Vendee, in 1834 and 1835 1 four others, condemned lor par- ticipation in the plot ol Marseilles, in 1841 ; and - nine galley alavea, confined in tbo bagntt of Rochcfort, Brett and Toulon, whoee good ceha iuur waa made known to the King, have also experienced the royal clemency. The Epoqut stairs that in compliance with tbe King's wish, Hie amneatied were not apprised of their pardon until ihelOih.ihe uy feud fur tbe Duke's net r rlage. .

They will have tn their bands tbe fatero deati ay of the Democratic Party In Pennsylvania. If they are actuated by a desire to place tbe eat ress of tba party beyond all doubt if their vene ration fr the aacendaney of Democratic prlnei- plea ia greater than their love for tbe elevation of pMtiealarlndividaalao all will be well. Bat tf they falter in their doty, and 'sacrifice their principles to a nomination for Governor wbiak bat already been determined noon by certain leadert, who, if they cannot rut, care net which ptrtytueeeedt, defeat will. stare at la the' face at the very out-set of the canvass. The oas term principle mutt be adopted in the nomine, lion, or all attempts to unite and harmonise tba party must be made in vain. , - ' And why should not the principle be adopt. ed f . What reasonable objection can be urged against it ?, Will it not have a tendency tn puri fy the administration of our public affaire, by putting a stop to the abuse and corruption prac tised under the system of re-election? Is it not Democratic ? Did not the people vindicate Us adoption In tbe recent election for Canal Com missioner T " .' Since the election, two or three prettea have ventured the objection that itt adoption would b unjuat and disrespectful to the preaent Execu tive to refuse him a rrnomination. There would ha but little plausibility in the argument that Ihe feetiugt tad the pecuniary interests of tbe incumhent should be connulted, even if the sue cess of the principles of the party were not in jeopardy. But when the fact that a re-nomination is tantamount to a defeat has been rendered too evident, by late events, to be denied, the ar gument Is too futile to make the least impres sion upon sny Democrat with whom principle it paramount to men. Thj present Excutive htt been fully half hi life in public employ, and at the highest salaries. He has been well reward ed for his services, and haa certainly no claim ta a re-nomination at the sacrifice of the party. To aay that, under the circumstancea, he haa any claim, ia to tay thnt a man once in office is enti tled to a monopoly of itt duties and irs compear sation, as long at the Constitution w-t salts, tad that, when one-: el cted. hit re-nootinatian must emanate, not from the favor of the peoplo, but fiom Ihe requirements of a vttd right. Strip Ihe argument of ita appeals to sympathy, and it amounts to nothing lesa th in a e';m for snrh a monopoly What Democrat can sanction such a doctrine ? The argument, that thu adoption of thx' priori pie now, would be Opposed to former precedent, m ul atiiks every one at being ridiculous in the extreme. If the Demon acy b., at it universally contended, progressive, piecediat can have hut little vi iht in the action of Ihe party, wbea it ia mar.ifestly oppoed, at in the matter under con-sidi-rution, lo a reform of abutea whirh atrika at Ihe purity of our government, corrupt ihe elec live franchises, and render a high public office the mre instrument of personal agranjixement in total disregard of the iatereata of the whole people. If precedent be adhered to, abuses, how ever glaring, rr.nst be permitted to rest like n ineubut opon the body politic. A Democratic Congrest passed, and a Democratic President signed, a hill incorporating a Sank of the Uni ted States. Here was a precedent. Hut who will contend that General Jackson, when he dia retarded this precedent by refusing to re-rharter this same institution, was any th less a Demo, crat than before committine an arl whirh receiv ed the loudest plaudits of his party. But it ia nselesa lo waate time upon an argument an weak and puerile, whirh, if sustained, would atrike at the root of all reform, and confirm the idea, pre. valent with a lew, that oflieet were created for th. benefit of the incumbenta, and not for that of the pronle at large llarritburg Argus, Latest tram Maslc.
