THE BLESSINGS OF GOVEBNMEKT, LIKE
Ihat opportunity vras, alas! too speedily
found. Ensduntennff the young Baldwin
one day. in the suburbs of Paris, ho so gross
ly insulted him. that the hand of the Dane
was instantly upo-a his "sword I but er h
could dray'it from its scabbard th m-nrA.
ly villain laid biui dead at his feet.
When the tftdy of his 'murdered son the
sword still reeking with his blood was-bro't
before tire Tather, horror and amazement ren
dered him speechless. To this unnatural
'calLone-8 there succeeded tho most drafnl
fury. Fire flashing from lnsejes, he grasp
ed tho sword, madly rushed towards the pal
ace, and furiously cnteitd the hall, vowing
vengeance against-the murderer... On obser
ving Charles, who, pale and trembling, had
taken refuge behind the emperor, ho sprang
upon him, and, grasping him -with one hand,
in the other he Ueld the sword before his
ever, and exclaimed, "Wretch, behold tho
blood of my sou it calls for vengeance !"
Brandishing ii high iu the air, fee seemed
about to etrikt tho fatal blow, when the Duke
of liifVaria suddenly rushed upon him, wrench
ed the sword from his hand, forced him to
quit hi3 victim ; and while the mptfror thun
dered. "Away with him to prison !" he drag
ged him from the chamber. On hearing the
emperor's dread command, the attendant
knights, afraid for the life fcf the hero, threw
themselves at their monarch's feet, imploring
his pardon but, highly incensed at the insult
ho had received, Charlemagne imperiously
coLumanaedj tuem to rise and quit his pres
ence, and never again to mention Uggero's
j name beiorc nun ; then turning from them
j tho haughty monarch lft the hall.
The knigbts now exclaimed "Uggcro is
J lost !" Uut no . On learning how
i basciy the young Baldwin had beeu murder
j'ed ly his 6o'u, Charlemague had too much
justice and generosity to take the father's
life, but, to mark his high displeasure, lie
banished him from the kingdom ; aod the

at length forced the monarch . to recall their

j to the DanUh court to urge his returu. On
being made acquainted wvth the emperor's re

But the approach of a powerful en
emy to the very gatCB of the capital, and the
fear of a mutiuy among his troops, at length
forced the haughty monarch to yield, an4 the
banished Uggero was recalled.
. When the warrior again appeared in the
camp, he was greeted with loud acclamations,
and the emperor instantly conferred upon him
the supreme cemmtud. Christians and Infi-
dels being now prepared for battle, they only
waited for tho signal of attack, when Uggero
to spare the effusion of human blood noblv
offered to terminate the contest by single com
tat wuh the Saracen general a proposal
Which 'the Infidel had tbe temerity to accept.
In dreadful suspense the contending armies
awaited the issue of the combat. The signal
being given by the emperor, - these two lioni
of war rushed furiously upon each other.
The cimeter of tbe Saracen was opposed to
tho battle-axe of the Dane, and it required
all our hero's eddress to cope with his rival
in arms. But at last a well-directed stroke
from the weapon of Uggero felled his oppo
nent to the ground, and the Infidel rolled at
the feet of the warrior. A cry of horror burst
from the camp of tbe Saracens whilst a shout
of joy resounded from that of the Christians.
Uggero was uow borne in triumph to the
royal pavilion, where, bending the knee, he
laid the cimeter of his enemy at the feet of
the monarch. ' - .
But soon the hero sprung from tho ground,
"and drawing his sword, exclaimedj "Sire, re

France, England and the Slavery Ques
tion, v
Tho Revue des deux Mondes contains an
interesting article explanatory of the position
recently assumed by tho French governmenr,
and its relations to Great Britian in reference
to the mooted questian of slavery. As this
question lies at the bpttom -of all bur ; domes,
tic troubles;- as it has been made an issue of
party the foot-ball'ofdemagoguesm, the lure
ior iooisand lanatics, appearing ncrw in the
-garb of maudlin philanthropy, then intruding
Hpon our national councils iu the captious
guise of 'popnlar "sovereignty," the causo of
dissension and internecine strife, threatening
civil war and disunion in its ultimate devel
opements, it is of some consequence to know
in what light the leading powers of tbs other
hemisphere regard it. The -writer in the
licvue des deux Jlondes treats the subject
statesmanlike, upon its economical merits,
and by calmly and dispassionately stating the
interested motives of British opposition to the
colonial policy of Napoleon.- he divests the
'question most effectually of the mummery of
Digotea ana nypocritical pretensions with
'which British avarice surrounded it. 'heu
England "started on her mission of abolition
ism, she had conclusive proofs that the in
stitution of African siavery iu the French
Spanish, Dutch and P&rtuguese Islands, and
especially on the Continent of America, would
result, as it really did, in depriving her of the
monopoly of supplying tho market of the
world with the costly produco of tl e tropics
She had at that time, some 50,000,000 llin-
doos at her absolute disposal, who could be
worked quite cheap. 1 he sacrifice of her
West India Islands, with some hundred thou
sand African slaves, was nothing at all, com
pared with, tbe advantages eveutually to be
derived from the final extinction "of all compe
tition. The speculation would have been an
excellent one, had the fire-brand of abolition
ism which she threw, into her own colonies
spread, as was. expected and inteoded, over
American hemisphere., which it did not. Aud
because it did not, England soou regretted
having destroyed and desolated her West In
dia Islands-, and earnestly set to work to re
pair the damage, by tho introduction of Coo
lie-labor. , When I'arlameut in 1S07, pro- f
bibitcd tbe elave-trade, Jfrauce for a long
time refused to accede to the measure. b.ut
forced t& acknowledge i tlie'iiaval supremacy of
the British, she had to. follow 'suit in 181G.
The repeated propositions to abolish slavery
in her colonies she. however, resisted, and all
the more firmly after the terrible experience
of San Domiugo. It was not the French Gov
ernment but the fauatacisin of the revolution
of lb4b that mado the negroes "free," and
this was done at a time when England was
carrying cargo upon cargo of coolies into Gu
iana, Jamaca and Trinidad, under false free
labor pretences But as .we shall see from
the statements of the writer iu the Revue dc's
deus Jloudes, Natolhon was net to he hum
bugged With a powerful navy at her com
mand, France could no longer bo prevented
from controlling her colonial policy and inter
ests herself. Unwilling to vield to England
the unfair advantage of coolie labor, she fol
lowed her example, cud it was not until Brit
ish jealously interfered with the importation
of Hindoos into the French colonies, that Na
poleon, after having timely warning of his in
tentions to the British Cabinet. -resolved up
on engaging negroes on the African coast ou
terms similar to thoso under which England
expatriates her Hindoo subjects. Napoleon,
in so doing, simply vindicated the princirjle of
party, established in former treaties concern
ing the slave trade, and violated by Great
Britian. The French waiter refered to de
feuds the contract of the French Government
for 10,000 negroes on the West coast of Af
rica) for Guadelaup and Martinque, represen
ting trie enterprise as only an imitation of the
British practice, and the rosoit to Africa as a
necessity resulting from the British Govern
ment having, "through jealousy," iDtc-r Ji:-ted
the recrui:ingof coolies fcr the Fiench West
Indies. He states that as long ago as IS52
the Frenclj Government notified tho British
that if the mterdict should be continued, Af
rican ernegratiou would be revived It ap
pears from the article alluded to, that the in
troduction of coolie labor into the Isle of
Bourbon has been quite as
successful as in
the adjacent British cmodv of Mauritius
The sugar crop of the Island of Reunion, or
Bourbou, which was 58,000,000 pounds in
1S51 rose to 11C000,000 in 1855.- In 185G
the foreign commerce of this Island amount
ed to 12,000,000, two per cent increase in
liiye years. - Bourbon replaces, now, St. Do
mingo to Franco. .The price of property has
risen astonishingly there The number of
coolies on the Island is estimated at 35,000.
Siuce France assumed this determined stand
boldly suiting action to words in executing
her threat of tho importation of Africans into
her Islands, the independent British press
has completely wheeled round zealously advo
cating, now, not only "free African emigra
tion," as it called, but deploring with every
outward appearance of contrition and sorrow
the abolition of 'Slavery in the British posses
sions as grievous error of the post, which is
high time to redress. And while the world
pulls in this direction, a parcel of fanatics End
political incapables with us, stoically persist
in pulling inanother. They have erected
their political platform upon the abandoned
wreck of British nogro-philanthrophy; swear

r Where the Democratic Party Stands.
There are in the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives one hundred and sixiy-five-men
"who were elected as Democrats. Of those,
one hundred and forty have pronounced - in
favpr of the Lecompton Constitution, and in
slsWhat a refusel to admit Kansas as a State
nnder'that instrument would be "a departure
froui the Democratic doctrine of non-intervention;"
whilst the remainder, twenty-five in
number, insist," if their votes upon the ques
tion' cf reference he considered . a test, that
to,so aamit ber would be equally a departure
Irpm-t&at.donne. dl-ere-, then, ;is -a -wide
differeneexf opinion between ruembers'of the
same party upon a quest'roa of vital imporr
tance in the policy of tho party. One or the
othdr of these 'po'siiioffs must be wrong. If
the first is Democratic the last must be anti
Democratic; and vice versa ; and this beiag so,
one class or the other of the disputants is ne
cessarily acting in opposition to the Demo
cratic party and outside of the 'Domocratic
organization. It is unnecessary for us to re
peat here" our reasons for believing that those
who advocate the immediata admission of
Kansas under the XecomptOn Constitution
are cafying out the doctrine of non-intervention,
and acting in strict accoro'ance with the
true policy of the Democratic party. If we
had not other good and sufficient reasons for
this belief, tho fact that a majority, b,oth of
the Northern and Southern Democrats in Con
gress, making together one hundred and forty
out of the one htiudred and "sixty-five Demo
cratc members, had decided in favor of h3
policy, would be prima facie evidence to our
ruiuda that it was the true Democratic policy ;
for it ertainry appears to us, and we think it
will so strike the country, that the twonty
five Democrats who, it i3 Said, will oppose
thft admission nf Tvnreua nnd.ir tlm T m. 4
Constitution, arc for more likelv to he in rmr
tnan tne ono bundred and fortv who are
known to favor it; and this view of the ques-
uon wi;i oc greatly strengthened, we think,
when it is remembered that the latter are
sustained in their position by the President
of the United States, .who has devoted near
forty years of hi3 life to the service of the
Democratic party, and long been considered
among the ablest and safest expounders of
its doctrines and its principles ; by the entire
Cabinet, each member of which, by reason of
his great abilities and long services iu - the
cause of Drmocracy is .well fitted to be and
an. interpreter of its measures and its policy ;
and last, though not least, by a large major
ity of the democratic people, whose clear
liieads aad lionet icstinerts ai-ways tea'clTthem
tne riglit. and lead tnem to ticrsue it
We do not presume to Eit iu judgment upon
the motives of those Democrats who have seen
proper to oppose Mr- Buchaaaa's Kansas pol
icy nor do we arrogate to ourselves the right
to read them out of t he party "because of such
opposition. We, however, do not hesitate to
declare that the admission of Kansas into the
Union under the Lecompton Constitution 13
now tho recognised and well-defiued policy of
the Democratic party . that it is so considered
by a very large majority of that party, both
in and out of Congress; aud that, whether it
be made a test of party fealty or not, those
Democrats who oppose it are warring upon a
vital measure of their party, and to that ex
tent, at least, must and will be regarded and
dealt with as aliens aud enemies. But me.u
cannot long occupy the double attitude of at
tachment to a party and of hostility to any
one of its
leading
measures. Having once
deliberately refused to abide the "decision of a
fairly ascertained majority upon a measure of
pirty policy, they will sooner or later drift
into, opposition upon all of thorn, and almost
before they are aware of it, find themselves
clearly yvithout its organization, battling side
by side with its bitterest foes, to effect its de
feat and accomplish its destruction. Such,
we predict, will be the case w ith a majority of
those Democrats wliohavc tak'ema prominent
and permanent etaud in opposition to the pol
icy of the Administration aud the Democratic
party in rehatiou to Kansas, and who are now
acting in concert with the Black-Republicans,
to defeat that policy.

AND THE LOW, THE BICH ANDTHE POOB.
A word to Honest but Misguided Demo
crats. . A valued friend sends us the following
powerful appeal to such members of the
Democratic party as are now antagonising the
old organization on the Kansas issue. The
argument preseuted cannot fail to show those
Democrats who "still tidhere to the position of
Douglass, Walker and Forney, that a con
tinuance in that company nrtist ultimately lead
tbem into the camp of the euemy. The wri
ter of this appeal wis himself a Free-State
Democrat, and therefore directs his facts cs-
i pecially to those of like p6liuealjeanings
1 He says '''If the 'fuesticn presented to our
consideration in the admission of Kansas to
the Union of States, finder the Lecompton
Constitution, were a final and conclusive one.
and destined to make her a slave State irre
rocali, in utter. defiance of the wishes of a
vast majority of her citizens, then the Presi
dent, aud those who agree with him, would be
wrong, utterly Wrong, in the course which
thdy .recommended But such would not be
the case. The course recommended by Pres
ident Buchanan would eventually, and speed
ily, too, make Kausas a free State, that i3,
presuming, as has been so often asserted, that
three-fourths of her iuhabitants are opposed
to the institutions of slavery.
Then why longer continue this factious op
position to the 7iasscs of their old party friends
Without they are prepared to cast of! all alle
gienoe to the Democratic party, and join at
once with the Black Republicans, they are
committing moral treason, because they are
giving aid and comfort to the common enemy.
Let them remember that the Black Republi
can party is composed of the same men who
j under different names changed as often as
J tbe chamelion changes its tints have opposed :
j every measure proposed by the Democratic
; party since the days of Thomas Jefieuon. ;
Let them also remember that every impor
I tant measure ever proposed by the Democrat-
ic party, however much it may have been op
posed and villified by their political opponents
at the time, has bccocne the settled policy of
our government, so much so, that our oppo
nents, even when possessed of tempory power,
have not sought to- chaDgo them. lo party
neeu seek a stronger endorsement of the uni-
form wisdom of its
measures. The acquisi-
lion of th
Territory- of Louisaua, . so bitterly
opposed by New England, has been to her
merchants an uutold fonutain of wealth. Who
would be so iusane now as to advocate
the re-cession of Forida, Texas, New Mexico
or California? The country owes all these
acquisitions of territory to. the Democratic car

you married to Captain James? A. The
ring was put on my finger by a clergman,
but my spirit was never united to him, Q.
What other husband have y ou had? A.
Now wait a moment; I'd never have you, be
cusc; I was married to James, near Dublin:
I was a child of fifteen: he ran away yvith me;

another la ly about a year after Lwas married

Espa; I yvas lodging yvith an old Scochman

What! (emphatically) No, sir; You a villain
sir; I'll take my oath on that book, (the Bi
ble) which I read every night, that I had no
intrigues with the old man; I knew the King,
and moulded tbe mind" of the Kinjr to the
love of freedom; betook me before the wholo
court-wit;; his wife, and prseented me as his
best friend I was on the stage in Bavaria, it
is easier to be'a 'man's mistress than a dancer;
I was in "Bavaria iu 1847 and 1848: in 1840
the Revolution occurred, and liberty, and I
fled; the King and Queen supported me while I
was there; 1 was:engaged ir political busi
ness; jou might call me prime-minister if you
please or, as the King Eaid. was the Kings;
there was a man of straw there as prime min
ister; true, but ho wa? only a man of straw;
the memoirs that have been written about me
are lies; that man is trying to get my mem
oirs f suppose; Mr. Jobson was writing: I
was living in" Piccadilly, London, in 1S49,
when I saw Jilson: I had come from Switz
erland about Ho 'months before. I was in India
when very joucg; I was about three months
old when I failed for India the first time. Q.
Did you call on Mr. Jobson first, before L.6
called cn you? A. (starting up) Nonet.
(lauh:ng aloud,) oh that is too funy ! I was
called Countess of Landsfek, an'd not Mrs.
James. Q. Did'nt Mr. Jobson subscribe a
guinea to prevent you from being taken to
the watch-house?. A. He l ad'nt a guinea.
Q. Did not he ive you a guinea. tu keep
3'ou from taking to the streets for a liveli
hood ?
"Witness Mr. (indignantly rising) Ara-I

Referee .Mr. Schermerhorn thould not
have asked the question.
Witness Schermerhorn ? Is that his name?
Oh, ho! I shall have some questions to ask
him. CShe wrote down the name of plaintiff's

. BANK RESUMPTION.
We call tue cttenfion of our bank directors
to the following article from the Philadelphia
Lcdjir, by which it will ba seen, that the
moment banks resume, their position is im
mediately strengthened:
"The banks are Jaily-, since the resump
tion of specie payments', aiding considerably
to their supply cf coiu thiough tha depo&its of
their customer?. This is the best evidenco
of returning confidence in tbe banks. Many
persons have been clutching fast to what lit
tle coin came to their hands during suspen
sion, paying out the more doubtful bank note
currrency. Now that specie is paid out ou
demand, they are seeming glad to be rid of
the care, of preserving it from larceny and
fire, r.-i 0 Iiurry it iuto bank. Here, 'as at

Crusade in favor or Authors. The Loc

hoists the flag in favor of the morals aud in
dustry of autbors: "Lituary men arc u
moral, industrious, conscientious and - trust
worthy as an3' class in existence. The or
ganization of our periodicals, which steadily
and regularity keep pace with events, riever
failing the literature and the politics o the
day," is evidence that no general immorality
or untrustworthy exists Literary men are
poor as a clas? poor as compared yvith mer
chants and traders, because the3' receive pay

mit, too, that among them may be Savages,
Smarts. Dermodys. and- Boyces but only in
the lower ranks f letters. Can anybodv
show us a class without such men?" "
