II NONTHMED FRO?I' F1T;517 k'.lCiE.] • ' Hie General Policy, from the outset (Allis reign until within a year past, has bee 'ono of absolutism. Freedom of speech and - of the press were unknown, the Senate was a mere instru ment of his will, and the electiobs of del egates to the Corps Legislatif were vo manipulated as to render that body. al most equally SubserVient. But the vote polled by the opposition in May, 1809, showed such an alarming . inerease that Napoleon at once beeam6 alarmed, and proclaimed, in the Sonatus Consultum of September, certain reforms in answer to the demands 'of the people. Still further warned by the boldness of the Liberal -party in the Corps Legislatif, he finally professed to abandon the system of per sonal government and an irresponsible ministry, which had been inaugurated by the coup d'etat of 1851, and on the second of Jtinuary of the present year, M: Emile 011ivier, the leader of the more moderate Liberals, was called to the head of the ministry. But this con cession did not. serve to satisfy the peo ple, and in the disturbances which fol io-Toad- the arrest anti imprisonment of. Rochefort, the editor of La karseill«ise, in January lasi, a formidable uprising in' Paris was only averted by the presence of a veteran army of ibp,ooo men. When Rochefort was safely disposed of for six months,' another appeal to the people, was made, and the plebiseilum of May, which, received about 7,250,000 affirmative -to about 1,550,000 negative votes, nominally ratified ,the so-called reforms in the Constitution which had been inaugurated by' the Emperor at various times. Simultaneous wall - N:l4s came an alleged conspiracy against his life, and numerous arrests, especially of men connected with the workpigmen's organizations, were made. The Trouble with Prussia.. - Before all the implicated parties could . be brought totrial, and while the ques tion of a poshible encounter with Prus sia was being broached in the ('orps Legislatif, •dming the debate ou the army contingent, the candidacy of Prince Leopold, of Hohenzollern, for the throne of Spain fulittaroused the great majority of the French people, not less than the Eniperor himself. Napoleon demanded of the -King of Prussia the withdrawal of Prince Jmopold. This demand was acceded to, Prince LiMpold withdrawing unconditionally as soon as the peace of 'Europe was threatened. Napoleon then demanded , that William I, as King of Prussia, as well as the head of the House of llobenzollern, should renmince, for ever, all pretensions to the throne of Spain on the part of any member-of the Hohenzollern family. To this demand King William in a dignified matinee re sponded that he had had nothing to-do with the candidature of Prince Leopold, and on the fourteenth finally declined to. hold any further communication with the French Ambassador on thoVlJject. It was evident from the start that the candidature of the Prince of Hohenzol leflt was ;Leiner° pretext ; that Napoleon, remembering - hoW he - was outwitted en 1807, on the Luxembourg question, jeol one of the growing power of Prussia, and longing for an occasion to humble - King - William, and at the same them-push the_ -boundaries-of--France- to theathine,—itas.: determined upon going to war. So, at two o'clock on the afternoon of the fif teenth, the corps Legislatif formally elated war against Prussia, and the pre parations for the impending struggle Which were already in progress were at onto pushed forward with all possible celerity, the French people responding to the cry of "On to the Rhine !" with quite as much unanimity and enthusiasm as those of Prussia. Vie tetreliok MaiM. VOL. 70. NO. 29 OUR COUNTY CONVENTION.- IMPORTANCE. The County Commettce has made a call for the meeting of the Republican COunty Convention on the fifteenth of August. It is of the highest importance that this Convention have delegates front all the boroughs and townships in the county, and that those delegates be the most active and pnident Repuhlic:wt that can be found. If such be the case, we will neceisarilypave a good ticket, &id ono in which every part of the county will feel an interest. If weltave a slim convention, we will almost surely have% poor ticket, and a dull and care less campaign. This should not be. We have a chance to cariT' the county for the whole ticket, if Nqe put forth our efforts. If we do not exert our Selves, or it we allow local differences to distract us- we will be beaten jtett, as usual. , The interests • of every ;isnan in the county demand 'a change in its politics. The politicians in power are so thor oughly corrupt and unscrupulous, that to continuo thole longer is madness. Two years ago, the Congressional nomi nation of the,Democratic party was 'per: chased openly, by a man who had moved into the county for the purpose of securing it. This is charged directly by the party organ Rita • Our-Representative iirtlie- Legislature votes to give away millions of the State securities to unorganized ' railroad companies, Our Commissioners lieve;,beon, foi years, wastefill and ex travagant in their improVements; and incompetent to manage the business en trusted to them.

To, do this we must nominate a first-class ticket, and than support it heartily,. There are scores of honest Democrats who are heartily tired of the existing state of things. They will cheerfully ,support a proper ticket, if nominated. They should have such a one presented to them ;,and we should show them that we mean work, and . intend this time• to accomplish•what we undertake. Noth ing valuable is won in business or politics without great effort. ,Let our friends then determine that they will work zeal ously to redeem the county frOm the mis management of the Democracy. Jon.; B. n)u, esq., our present member of the Legislature, and the present candidate for the Demboratie 'nomination, again rushes into print. Throtigh the nnalium of The Volunteer be gives his Democratic constituents much information. lie first-tells them he is sick. This is sorrowful tidings, and-he will, 'doubtless, receive the commiseration of his constituents, and theirbest wishes for his speedy, recovery. Do also tells 'them that lie will call on them all as soon as ho recovers. This is gratifying, and will mitigate the sorrow the first announcement caused. lie then tells. them that he voted for the Omnibus Railroad swindle. That isn't so new, but then it is important. That the representative of this county should vote - to turn over all the securities the Slate owns, in defiance of the plain provisions of the co.:maim., to three or four un organized and irresponsible railroad com panies isn't perhaps so strange, but that lie should announce and defend it over his own signature, is to say the least somewhat brazen. Tut Mr, Leidig de fends it as a Democratic measure. Ile says that Mr. Wallace drew the bill, and supported it. This -is trite enough, and it should entitle him.to absolution froni the Democratic party. This big rail road swindle was a set-up job for the Democracy. Mr. Prank. linghes was the President •of the railroad ' com pany , that was to get six millions of this „precious little. steal.

REPAIRS.—TiIe Board of Shool Direc tors havela corps of painters, plasterers, andearpdnters employed in making much needed repairs to several of the school buildings during the vacation. This is right, for by go doing they not only show a commendable spirit of improvement, but also greatly enhance the value bf the school property. NEW Leers.—Within 'the past ten days MesHs. Campbell.

This will, no doubt, prove of great advantage, and tend to largely in crease the membership of the order. SU CCESSFUL BALLOON A SCENSION.— Professor John A.

A large crowd of persons were in attendance,-and about four o'crook p. m., everything being in- readiness, he left terra firma.

Mark 'Twain, himself, would have laughed had- he witnessed' thiS flight, and his famous 'charge on the Bedouins, not even excite a smile in comparison.
