Geo. Brown's Speech at the Decla- ration. The following is the speech delivered by the Hon. Geo. Brown, at the Declaration, in Toronto, on Wednesday, the 10th inst. We x recommend it to the careful perusal of our © readers :-- ; "Mr. Brown.--Mr. Returning Officer and Gentlemen, I am happy to be able to endorse been pow o Mr. - what Crawford. I ieve there never has been an election contest in_this or in any other constituency more sati for both parties than this has been. It is due to you, Mr. Returmng Officer, a political opponent of mine, to say that your whole conduct from first to last - in: endeavouring te free Upper Canada from .the injury and di of French domination, 4 guage against those representatives of Up- per Canada who where traitors to their trusts, and that I have systematically held up ail such men to public indignation'; but 1 plead in justification that it was the onl remedy for the evil. (Loud cheers.) Itis not by honied words that you put to shame a band of conspirators against the rights and honors of their country. I plead in justifi- cation, that however the contest of ten years has been waged, it has been brought to the very point of success. (Continued cheers.) I plead, as the complete and triumph vindication of my policy, that whereas in 1852 it was well nigh impossible to find a seconder for a motion in favor of Representa- tion by Population, there are now, in 1861, has been impartial, and that your deputi m Upper Canada un- reservedly committed to stand or fall x that ell, I at the various laces, Mr. Campbell, | 53 members elect Mr. Sarious polling piace and Mr. Helli- | re well, and the | poll-clerks, discharged | vital ther duties with fairness. The po- lice. did their duty fgwards the preserva- tion of good order. far as this Division of the oity is 1, all the istered electors on this occasion have had a full op- portunity of recording their votes. It was not the fault of the Returning Officer or his deputies that a large number of the electors of the Division were disfranchised, in con- sequence of the errors made in preparing the electoral roll ; and I believe the number of disfranchisod was greaily inérensed by a want of knowledge 2 gin were really upon the roll. Had the roll been correctly made up, and the names upon it Jublished, I think the number of votes polled would have been double what they were. A Voice.--~The omission affected both sides. Mr. Brown.--My friend says the omis-. sion affected both sides. There is no ques- tion of that, and neither party is in a posi- tion to assert authoritatively that. it woulkl have been the gainer, had the roll been cor- rectly made up: No doubt both parties from oar respective points of view, saw how it affected ourselves, and each naturally thought it was the greater sufferer. There is another pleasant feature in the present contest --that though there has been a good deal of warm leeling and some plain words have been spoken, there were no unworthy personalities indulged in by either party sluring the canvass. Mr. Crawford and 1 went into the contest good personal friends and I hope we come out of it as cordial as ever. (Cheers.) With regard to the re- sult of the contest, it would be wrong in me were I to say that I did not regret the issue, because for two reasons I do sincerely re- ~gret it. In the first place I regret it, for the sake of those kind and generous friends, for many Joass who have so heartily and con- sistently given me their support--and who on this occasion have exerted themselves with a zeal and an energy that could not be surpassed. | deeply grieve on their account that I am defeated on this occasion, In the eecond place, gentlemen, I would not pe true to my own ition, did I not frankly say that for the sake of the cause I haye long represented--the cause of Upper Canada-- (cheers)--I do regret the Mis of this elec- Xion, It has given jas enemies of economi- cal government and of justice to Upper Can- bol for Eve" ie ani 1 am not much misled there are many of those who veted against me, who already doubt whether any gain has been obtained by my defeat, (Cheers.) If we accept implicitly the assurance given us by Mr. Crawford that he will carry out faithfully all the obli- gations of his written address to the elect- ors--still the question arises, did not I zeal- a S lates sha -mrinainles and mea- (Loud cheering.) am not blind to the fact that some of those 53 gentlemen feel sore under the discipline by which they Lave been forced to commit themselves to a measure so distasteful to Monsieur Cartier. 1 ain not blind to the fact that it will need every vote that can possibly be obtained to secure the success of a reformed Representation Bill m the pre- sent Parliament; and I cannot close my eyes to the possibility that a cordial union ofall the Upper Canada members pledged to that measure, for "the carrying bf that measure, may be more easily accomplished it [am absent from the House and deprived of all eredit from its final trinmph. Had [ been a member of the present Batis, my first object would have been to bring about such a union, and no personalsacrifice on my part would have been wanting to accomplish it. What care [ for the honor of the tinal vietory ? (Cheers.) Sufficient houor is 1t for me that I laid the foundation of success--that I fought a ten years hattle without faltering ; and brief as was the ex- istence of the Brown-Dorion Government, J will always remember with proud satisfac- tion that I was the leader of the first Ad- ministration form to settle the constitu- tional difliculties between Upper and Lower Canada and do juste to Upper Canada.-- (Lond cheers) Beleve me, that no one will more heartily rejoive-than I will if my absence {rom Parliament tends to remove personal jealousies and resentments and to secure cordial action on the part of Upper Canada members on behalf of representative reform. They shall be welcome to all the honors--and none will be more ready than myself to award them--who secure for the people of Upper ('anada their just share 1 the government of the country. But T give Mr. Crawford and those other new men who have aspired to and obtained the places of well-tried Representatives of Upper Ca- nada--that as they have taken out of our hands the final accomplishment of our great purpose in the very hour of victory, «0 much greater will be their responsibility if they falter in the straight course--so much the heavier will be the penalty if by their hands the labor of ten years is lost to Upper Cana- da. I am sure I can answer for every member of the Upper Canada Opposition but one, that there is hardly any party sacrifice that they will not be prepared to make for the achievement of a just measure of Representative, reform. (Hear hear.) And if such a measure 1s not achieved, the blame will lie at the doors of those new members with Ministerial proclivilies, but who stand fully pledged to Repiesentation by Population."

The results of the present general election have not turned out to be as'! successful in Upper Canada, as had been anticipated, but in Lower Cana- da they have far exceed the expecta tions of all. The Ministry seem to have neglected Bower Canada, if we may so speak, as though they relied upon a large majority from. that sec- tion as a natural consequence. Be this as it may, the very opposite of this has been the result, for in Lower Canada the Opposition has achieved a decided victory. Nearly all the Op- position members have been returned, who songht re-election, and many prominent - constituencies have been rescued from the clutches of Cartici and his colleagues by new men, so that it may be truly said--« A totally new aspect has been given to Cana- dian politics by the unexpected Suc- cess of our (viends in Lower Canada." Bat in Upper Canada it hus been dif- ferent. They expected--and had a right to expcet--the condemnation of all, and, therefore, they concentrated the whole. of their strength here, ¢ to verify John A. Mucdonald's repeated boasts in the last House, that at this election he would get an Upper. Ca nadian majority." When we take into consideration what the Opposition have had to contend against, it' is, actually, a matter of surprise that the Ministry have not carried a larger majority than they really have. Be- sides the usual habit of maligning their opponents, at this election they EV ---- L- the election there, Priests were out and canvassed the electors personally, At eeting of the Canada Com h e J Led in Ton J the i Jun, bir. ¢: fon behalf of Mr. word, aul the ranks in th o ohn ir, a divi was de- victory over Mr. B own was made a fare The comparative. statement of the Roman Catholic triumph." John Hillyard Cameron achieved his vic tory over Mr. Aikins, in Peel, by pro mising the Roman Catholics "an ex. tension ofthe Separate School system," and thus itis that the Orangemen and thegRoman Catholics have gone hand in hand to the pollsall over the Pr vince. Where there has been a'close contest money, in abundance, has not been wanting, in order to serve the ends of Ministerialists; and even in South Hastings, North York, and South Ontario, such has been the case, where there was not the slightest chance of success. With all these efforts to con tend against, that' the Opposition has not achieved so great g victory as was expected in Upper Canada, is not to he wondered at, and we are willing to admit it, but we have gained mare than the Ministerialists are inclined to give us credit for, because they claim Messrs. Rye son, Morris; Hooper, Ry- kert, McLaugh!in, Bell, Dunsford, and M. C. Cameron, whereas all but the latter are well-known Reformers, and some of them voted want of confi 'ence in the Ministry last session. With respect to Mr. Cameron we have heard him utter the words, "I am not a Ministerialist," repeatedly, and we feel inclined to take his word for it.-- The last return from Upper Canada has been received and the result is-- Opposition, 36 ; Ministerial, 26 ; Doubt. ful, 8. In Lower Cunada the figures stand -- Ministerial, 23; Opposition 24; Doubtful 8. - There are some couuties tg be heard from yet, in Low. er Canada, of which, it is supposed. the Opposition will carry a m-jority. llowever, the Opposition have gained no less than 14 counties from the Gov ernment, in Lower Canada, making 28 votes on a division, and five coun. ties which in lust Parliament were re. presented by Ministerialists, now send Independents, so that if every doubt ful man goes with the' Government, the Opposition will still have a ma. jority in the House. ----p---- THE DECLARATION, Last Saturday quite a large number Mad again assEmbied in Vroomanton, have added bribery. vids; =m " franduleafe tampering with the elec- assembles-- let us.

Gentlemen, in leaving Par- liamantary life, aftet ten years of arduous and stormy conflict, [ fee! 1t no slight grati- fication that I can Took back on my whole career with satisfaction, and defy 'my op- ponents to point to one vote I ever gave, one motion I ever made, one word I ever utter- ed that was unworthy of a faithful repre- * sentative of the people. (Loud cheers.) 1 WCE rw sw - former occasions. I have now fauthfuily! discharged my duty to my paitf--my de- feat has opened up a way for my Yetirement - without dishonor--and I meon to\take ad- vantage of it. Of course no one can tell what changes may occur mn the futare, and what new obligations may hereafter arise-- but it is present resolution not to seek lecti vy any consti y for some time to come, And let me say, that in - forming this resolution, I have not lost sight of certain public advantages that may re- salt from it. It has been by certain recreant politieians of Upper Canada a constant ex- cuse offered in palliation of their misdeeds : 40h, we know this or that act was wrong, but if we had done otherwise, the Govern- ment would have been overthrown, and George Brown would have come in !'-- Well, gentlemen, George Brown will no longer be the scape-goat of these gentlemen ~--their miserable palliative ill be nolonger available, and we will have an opportunity of testing their sincerity in the past by their eonduet in the future. (Cheers.) Another consideration has also been before me.-- . When I went into Parhamert, in 1851, it was with the fixed and avowed determina- tion of carrying Representation by Popula- "tion ; but I'found in the Assembly very few indeed with courage ennugh to commit . themselves to a ten year's contest for it.-- But 1 felt then, as I feel now, that that ques- tion formed the foundation of bur political un f and 1 have ever since strained every nerve for its accomplishment. In * waging war on behalf of this great reform, 1 have been charged with dealing severely with the op} of the : (Hear, hear.) Now, I readily admit, that I, can look my countrymen in the face with the consciousness that I-have honestly dis- charged my duty--and it is cause of un- sponkable joy for me to call to mind that of tne thousands of generous friends through- out the Provinee who have given me their confidence and support in my ten years of Parliamentary life, few and far between h@xe been those who have withdrawn that confidence. 1 have also this satisfaction, that though defeated in Toronto, I am de- feated in a constituency which never was ranked on the Reform side. 1 carried it from the enemy, for the first time, in 1857, by a small majority, and great was deemed the victory! That I have not carried it !aguin is not much of a defeat. 1 have good | cause to feel proud of the support I received. | A large proportion of the worth and wealth of the city recorded their votes in my favor | --and we all know well how 1 was defeat- led. I wish not to open np any unpleasant | subject now, and therefore U shall not at | present make more direct allusions to those | peeuliar influences which were brought to bear for my defeat. (Laughter) 1 would much rather have it understood that I was the victim of the charms of the ladies-- (cheers and laughter)--that a phalanx of the fair sex "vas brought into the arena against me, and forcedg ne to surrender.-- (Continued laughter.) I have also this sat- isfactory reflection that though defeated myself in Toronto, my party has been comn- pletely sueeessful throughout Upper Canada. (Cheers.) We have carried forty constitu- encies out of the.§5.; we have defeated the Ministry in Upper Canada by a majority of 15; the success of the Lower Canada Op- position has been equilly marked, and the downfall of the Administration may be con- fidently predicted. Mr. Brown went on at some length further, 'and concluded by thanking the electors for their support, and assnring them that though not in Parha- meut he sheuld still continue to take an active personal interest in the political affuirs of the Province. Death of the Sultan of Turkey. The death of Abdul Medjid, Sultan of Tukey, is announced in the news by the Great Eastern. The Sultan was born May 6, 1822. At the death of is father, Mah- mound H, in 1839, Abdul Medjid ascended the throne. He found the affairs of the em- pire 1 almost inextricable complication, and his natwmally weak and pliable charac ter would have secured his overthrow, but for the intervention of England and Ger- many against Mehemet Ali, who hal led Egypt into. revolt, and the Sultan's Grand Admiral, who treacherously Aurrendered all his fleet 10 the enemy. By the treaties of 1840 and 1841, Turkey was admitted into the political system of Europe, and from that day the Sultan has Tain in the hands of western diplomacy. By advice of Redshid Pasha, his Vizier, he made many important reforms in the administration of justice, the tolerance of religion, the educa- tional system, and the financial levies of the empire. Te offered a racred Asylum to the refugees of Hungary, and rather than violate a Mohammedan's traditional hospitality, ran the risk of a serious war. For the last ten years of his life he har been destroying his nerve and brain by dissipation; and hie long-expected death has at last come; as , the result of that means. tion lists' Tor instance, in West Elgin, Mr. Macbeth was elected by the small majority of 13, and " but for the bribery, corrnption, perjury, and intimidation resessed tu fu thu cous J stituency, the Opposition candidate would have been elected by a majority of hundreds." In Perth Mr. Foley's majority over Mr. Daly was only 36, out of 4,354 votes polled. The Min- isterialists in this county were 'deter. mined to elect their candidate at all hazzards, and accordingly, in the Township of Wallace, they took pos. session of the poll and tried to prevent any of Mr. Foley's supporters from voting: The first day, it is said, that "al least six persons were beaten and run off the polling ground, becanse they had voted for Mr. Foley ; a num. ber more were scared home without voting, and one man was compelled to vote against his will, for Mr. Daly.-- Ou the second day, it was determined that not a single vote should be al lowed to be polled for Mr. Foley ; and during the day only TWO of Mr. Fo lev's friends succeeded in getting their votes recorded I" At the close of the poll, in the Township of Wallace, the vote stood -- Foley, 34; Daly, 229.-- In the county of Dundas the Ministry succeeded in defvating Mr. Cook by a small majority, but he has * protested against the returns, on the ground of bribery and fraudulent tampering with the voters' lists." A letter was read by Mr. Cook, at the hustings, and on the day of the declaration, from Mr. Simon Johnston, cenius commissioner for the County, and addressed to the Hon Geo. Crawford, from which it appears that Mr. Johnston was canvassing for Mr. Crysler when taking the census, and in which he says--"Ifa man's vote is depending on the assessment roll, we can have the assessor to raise some that is now under fifty pound be. fore the court of revision. The as. sessor is one of our own party, and I am in the Council this year. Yours with respect, S. J.' And besides this, the Cpposition has had to contend with Clerical authority to a much greater extent in this election, than heretofore. It has been said, ard truthfully too, for it was heard of at the time, " that when Mr. Cartier was in Upper Canada. with the Prince last year, he had an interview with Dr. Lynch, the new Roman Catholic Bishop, and agreed that if the rever. end gentlemen would give the benefit of his support to the Ministerial party during the next election, a new sepa- rite School Lill would be granted at the carliest practicable opportunity." The appeal was not in vain, as was scen in Toronto previous to and during aga to hear the result of the contest in this county. and at about one o'clock the Returning Officer read the, statement of the poll at its close, and deglared M. 'C. Cameron, Esq., duly geted by a majority af 08. Mr! Cu ing uh sent » Mr. Cameron came forward and in a brief speech thanked the electors for the successful efforts they had put forth on his behalf. He said he did not be. lieve in the wide-spread ultraism of either of the two contending parties, in the country, but was in favor of mod. cration, and he thought that that was what we most needed. It was his in. tention, he said, if possible, to do his duty to all, so that when le came be fore then again for reelection, those who were 'his opponents now would then be Nis friends." He felt sorry that Mr. Gould was not present. Tor some reason or other Mr. Gould, he said, had neglected to hoist the Union Jack upon his house, as formerly, on the 12th of July, inst., and he could not understand it. Ie was glad the «Or. ange" and " Green" had united on the occasion to them he felt he was in- debted for his success, and he was sure he would have great pleasure in repre. senting so united a people. He felt he had been elected by a united peo- ple, and not by a party. [le expressed himself proud of the position in which they had placed him, and as he had already promised, he said he wonll do his utmost to deserve it, as a compen sation. After invitifig the crowd to the camp ground, situated a little be. low the village, to partake of some re. freshments, he asked them to give three cheers for the Queen, which was responded to most heartily by all present. Three shag were pro. posed Ly tlie Returning er,for the King of Brock, and responded to, and then Three were given for Cameron, and three for the Returning Officer. The crowd immediately proceeded to the woods, to partake of the repast, and no doubt there was enongh pro vided to have made a very respectable affair of it, had it not been for the "roughs," who dashed into the teut, and actually tore things to pieces, to the utter disgust of every respectable person present. When the eatables had been demolished, a procession was formed, which escorted Mr. Cameron to Uxbridge. Tt was rather an impos. ing scene, and presented a respectable appearance. Mr. Cameron rode in front, in a carringe drawn by six grey horses,-and "was followed by about 40 or 50 other vehicles. Several Orange Lodges were present, with their fifes and drums, and they made good use of them the whole length of the road. -- On arriving in Uxbridge, the. proces sion drove round by Mr. Gould's house, up to Reynolds' Hotel, from the ve. randah of which Mr. Cameron again returned his sincere thanks for their support, &c., &e., when the crowd dis persed. ° i Th "1 gl THE TWELFTH OF JULY. The Orange Lodges of Reach und Uxbridge, and several from Brock and | Seott, met at Uxbridge, on Friday last, for the pu: pose of commemo:ating the memorable battle of the Boyne. A sermon was preached, in the afternoon, by the Rev. Wm. Grant, after which the Assembly quietly dispersed. We never saw as large a body of men so orderly as on the occasion referred to ---------- ---- STANSTEAD ELECTION, C. E. We are pleased to learn, by the Stanstead Journal, that the coutest in that county has resulted in electing Mr. Knight by a majority 496, over his opponent Dr. Gilbert. The ma- jority of Mr. Knight is said to be the largest ever given in the county when there was a real attempt at a contest, and considerably exceeds the whole vote cast for Dr. Gilbert. Mr. Knight is a brother of Mrs. James McCaw's, of this place. JOHN HAM PERRY. We clip the following from the Wlhitby Watchman of last week. It is reported to be the language of J. H. Perry, Esq. ata meeting of the " plugs" in Whitby, on re- ceipt of the news of Mr. Brown's defeat in Toronto :-- "He denounced Mr. Mowat as a Toronto lawyer that should never have been allowed to travel out of his record to represent a rural constituency ; and in the next breath he urged every man having a vote to go out to the North Riding and vote for M. C. Cam- eron, who. was now iunning out "that bastard Canadian Gould--we did not want," he said, ¢ bastards in our parliament I"? &e. No man unless he were mud or drank would have used language such as= Mr. Perry used towards Mr. Gould, or towards the native Canadian population." We must say that we were a little sur- prised to think that Mr. Perry should have vented his wrath on Mr. Gould as he did, after all that Mr. Gould has done to estab- lish the new County of Outario with the County Town at Whitby, aud particularly' after he had so often signed Mr. Perry's pe- tition to the Government for the very office he now occupies. adit not been for the firmaess and decision of Mr. Goulld's char- acter, the County of Ontario would still be hanging to the skirts of old Yoik, the same as Peel. The County Town of On- tario would still be the village of Whitby, and it 15 a question whether the estate of the late Peter Perry would have paid his debts had it not been for Mr. Gould and the few men who stood by him in the division of the County. It is also very questionable whether John Ham Perry woul d be the Pompous Nabol that he now is. That he has been built up by the reputation of his father and lus father's friends is notorious, and that he now feels he can aflord to treat them with ingratitode and unmitigated slander, and abuse, is equally notorious; but that his spleen should have 'carried him so far to call Mr. Gould a " bastard Canadian' is more than we ex- pected. Who is the bastard 2 Mr. Gould who has always stood firm to his principles, his party, and his friends? or Mr. Perry, who had nothing in the first place to stand upon but his father's reputation, but who has forsaken his father's prin- ciples, his father's friends, and his own principles, and has gone over into the anns of high church Tory- ism j---is the ready advocate of the very principles which his father opposed all. his life ;---willing and ready to give an ex- cuse for the most glaring frauds and acts of corruption, perpetrated by the most unseru- pulous and corrupt Government that ever misruled any country ;---ready and willing to betray us into the hands of Lower Canada, and subject to us French domination for four years longer. We ask, therefore, who ir the «bastard Canadian?" If we reflect for a moment npon the character and principles of the late Peter Perry, Esq., and then con- sider the present position and principles of John Ham Perry, we are digposed to inquire, can ke be the (politically) legitimate son of Peter Perry ? 0% A telegram in the New York Tibune, dated Torouto, July 11th, says :--¢ It is un- 1 d that the Presidency of the Grand Trunk Railway, made vacant by the recent \ ds as the Sabb wi h School A y which will be held at the Wesleyan Church in tis place on the 2let and 22nd inst. On Sab- bath the Rev. Wm.

Jou , of the 8th of June, in reference to affairs in St. Domingo, says at: G 1.8 b ted in i as establishing a reign of terror in the Repub~ lic, similar in 'iis features to that which pre~ vailed in France during the first revolution.

This denial calls oot the Brit- ish Consul, whose note will be found in another column, who shows that such im- pressment has been the rule rather than the exception--no less than sixty-three cases having been reported to him, and no one knows how many more were hurried off to the army without a chance to protest. Read the Consul's letter, and guess if so man subjects of a powerful nation have been forced into their army, what ntmber there may be of natives thus compelled with blnd- geon and bayonet to march against the flag of their country. Since the Consul's scath- ing exposure, Gov. Moore has issued a Li 0 persons, several of them of high social po- sition, have been made, and a great many of those who are obnoxious to him have been summarily condemned and shot by his order. . The tidings of a popular insurrection in Cibao are coufirmed, and in addition we' learn that the people of Moca, another Pro- vince of the Republic, took up arms on the 2d uli., and pulled down the Spanish flag. An engagement between the Spanish troops and the populace took place, and much blood was spilled. In Vega a traitor, Padre Moyn, who was sold to the Spaniards, raised the Spainish flag in opposition to the wishes of the people, who are pursuing him to put him under arrest. In ail parts of the country, the Dominicans, roused to a gense of the degiadation that has been put upon them, and of their danger, are rising against the Spaniards, determined to defend their yationality by force of arms. The Spaniards find the work upon their clamation forbidding the * im foreign subjects ; but the poor natives must shift for themselves.--N. Y.

(= Eartuquake.--The Montreal Pilot of Friday last says:-- At a quarter past nine o'clock yesterday evening a severe shock of an earthquake was felt in this city. It continued several seconds, and was ac- companied by a low, rambling report.-- Much consternation was occasioned by it, since it caused windows and doors to shake' violently, and, in some cases, the walls to vibrate, while the inmates were almost thrown from their feet. The motion, which was of a vibratory nature, seems to have been North and South." It also appears to have been felt in Ottawa, Prescott, Brock- ville, and St. Johns, to a less or more extent, although a of serious t was St Hyacinthe--M Sicotte. Montmorency--Hon. J. Cauchon. M.

From all this the public will see that the statements which have been made to the effect that it is the desire of the Dominicans themselves to have their country reincorpo= vated with the Spamsh monarchy, are utterly false. The people have been most cruelly betrayed by Santana in this matter, and if the ish Government have a spark of honors feeling left, they will, upon ascertaining the real state of things--that is, supposing they have not been all along privy to the movenients of the trailor, and a party in them--immediately withdraw their troops, and leave the Dominicans to them- selves. Meanwhile, the President of Haytt and the people, feelmg their nationality and mdependence tl | by this busi are making vigorous preparations tor war. The memorial from the public meeting held in this city to Her Majesty, the Queen, on the subject of the annexation of St. Do- mingo to Spain, and to which we ailuded in our last summary, received over 3,500 sig- natures' in a few days, and was forwarded to the Colonial Secratary, through His Ex-* cellency the Governor, by the last packet. » The Pope's Illness. The Pope. it is believed. eannct long sur- vive the illness vnder which he labors.-- His legs have swollen seriously, and he is suffering from erysipelas--a dangerous symptom under the umstances. le is ik his seventy-fivst year, for it appears there was a mistake made respecting his age at the time of his election--a mi take of two years-- which from politeness has uot been corrected until the present time. He has has been so ill as to be obliged to forego his official receptions, and, in the event of the worst happening, there will be a struggle be- tween: France and Austria for the appoint- ment of his snecessor. During the last few days a pamphlet has appeared in Paris, with the title, Touch not the Pope,' to which many persons about the Emperor are said to be favorable,the leading dea of which is, the maintenance of the City of Rome for the exclusive use of the Pope by all the Catho- lic nations, and the giving up of his tempo- ral power over the other portions of his still remaining dominions. But for the presence of the French troops at Rome, an explosion would certainly follow the death of Pins the Ninth. Supposing him to die under his present attack, his disappemiance from the stage will be almost certain to lead to some arrangement better and more satisfactory to all parties than the one which is now in ex- istence. "A Bonaparte to Govern the South, « Malakoff"? writes the New York 7'imes from Paris, that the rebel Commissioners have offered the «crown? of the mixed kingdom of the South to young Bonaparte, of Baltimore, now. a Captain in the French army, and who, it will be recollected, is a graduate of West Point. I have just been informed that the agents of the Southern Confederacy at Paris have formally made a proposition in writing to young Captain Bonaparte, formerly of Balti= more, to accept the position of Military Die= =" tator to the Southern Confederacy, with a crown at his disposal, whenever he may deem it necessary to assume the dignity. If anything were wanting to prove the moral and political degradation into which the politicians of the Slave States have fallen, surely this last effort furnishes the coup de grace. When any considerable section of a great conntry hax fallen as low as this in the scale of morality, a little of the purifying influences of the sword, independent of any question of secession or slavery, will do no warm. Fortunate for him, Captain Bona- rte (as well as his grandaiother, Madame 'atterson Bonaparte) goes for the Union, and the Captain refused the unclean and unnat- ural proposition in the most decided way.
