y " It is not bard to discern the drift of this political
''legerdemain nor should our Whig friends fail to
take lesson of wisdom from this practical illostra-
tioa of Democratic contrivance. When the country
r ' rwas going for Tatlob with loud acclaim, what was
it that' lowered the tone of the public voice ? Dan
. erratic-management, aided by abolition duplicity.
- The object of the Cabinet of Washington is acconv
, plished, if they can contrive to get Mr. Clat nomi
nated ; for bo man can, by the most sanguine calcu
Hn; lations in his behalf, make out his prospects any
thing like so ftir, as they were when be was beaten
by Pou. Most excellent duplicity! Admirable
cunning! Aed is Ritchie so demented ss to be

: truth nor candor in of any of his political proposi

.case, may have been momenUril j seconded by a just
and honest partiality on the part of the Whigs, but
they will not fail to discern the trickster through
the smoke be has raised.
' - As to the abolitionists they do net feel a warm
attachment for Mr Clay. The New Yorkers of
that clique make this pretence to gain an opportu
nity of striking a blow they most desire. It is suf
ficient for their purposes to defeat a southern slave
holder. .
Will the Whigs of the South permit themselves
to be duped by schemers among their political foes,
Joined in a quasi league with their pretended friends,
to accomplish the defeat of the Whig party, by di
' Visions or otherwise? Gen. Tatloe does not come
before the country as a sectional politician, with pe
culiar local views : his labors have been for the gen
eral welfare and have created a universal regard
hence he is potent to overthrow the corrupt dynas
ty of the city of Washington, and to command the
applause of his countrymen, of all parties. By him
f ' -will the spell of political despotism be dissolved, and
freedom of opinion once more bo the enjoyment as
well as the boast of the American people.
... .V We are impelled, in our remarks on this subject,
; by no seal for men. Our emotions are all for our
, country and its best interests, which we think will
be promoted by the success of the Whigs in the en
suing Presidential contest. To secure that all per
sonal partialities must be discarded. If Gen. Tay

an honest Whig, if not an u ultra" one. Wo shall
( break the galling fetters of that miscalled democra

the ancient land-marks of democratic republicanism.
United under Gen Tayloe's name, will be found
i the best and purest of the people those who, on all
' occasions, are true to their country and faithful to
the Constitution.
Some may suppose that our cause will be weaken
ed by a candid exposition of the state of things.
Not so. : There is nothing so s'rong for us as truth.
Let us look: over the whole ground, that we may

Mrssxs. Atxiw St. Erwm : Fifteen months since.
my friend, Mr. B. P. Taylor, of Columbia, sent me
two Lambs, s ewe and buck, in a box aboard a wag
on, about three months old, having been ewed in the

i have sheared them this day, and each fleece
weighs the same 91b, 18 lbs. from two sheen.
The buck after losing his coat, weighs 150 lbs.
The ewe 100 lbs. Strauze that each Yield the same
quantity of wool, and differ SO lbs. in site; yet the
two locks sent you will t once show the cause, the
ewe's being more dense and finer.
- These sheep are said. to be as much superior to
our common stock for mutton, aa for wool, and forJ
that reason they .were.sent to me, so that 1 could be
enabled to feast my Southern friends upon fine mut
ton, but they must allow me time for that part of
living.,. I cannot think of putting a half blood on the
table this summer, (but will put the best of common
stock,) and take good care of the full and half blood,
so as to promote the mitring of sheep, in this coun
try, a thing long since (I think) ought to have been
done, and that too, extensively.
I appeal to any man that can count either by head
or figures, to set down and make his calculation, how
many sheep one hand can support, after pastures,
meadows, lots, houses, iu, are prepared, (nothing
can be done without some kind of preparation,) and
if the result is not that more can be realized from
growing sheep than auything yet undertaken in this
country, why then I em mistaken, that's all. I had
forgotten to tell you the result or the weignt or one
of the Lambs, a half blood. While shearing, I se
lected one "of the best ewes of our common stock
(out of what few I had,) and her weight after shorn
was 70lbs. I then took up her lamb, a half blood,
ewed 10th March last, aad it weighed 56 lbs.
They are all different form our common sheep.
Respectfully, yours,

, Tho ready acqnlescenee of- the French people in
tho assumption of supreme power by a Provisioaal
Government which emanated, as it were by. acci
dent, from tho crowd of a few hundred persona, was
to be accounted for by the fact that the exigency
called for some sort of government, and would not
admit of delay. The continuance, however, of that
government in powerconsidering how very slight
an authority was derived front the naturoof its ori
gin, mnst bo attributed, unquestionably, to the gen

Ternmeut, seems to have caught, as by jmtuition, a
clear ibsight into the real condiiion of France, her
wants, her sufferings, and to have perceived and
applied, with happy adaptation, the best measures
which the occasion called for and admitted"
. The European correspondent of the National In
telligencer refers to the origin of the Provisional
Government, and show bow such accidents are con
trived in France: v
The republican party existed no doubt long before
it manifested Itself on the subvrsionof royalty in
Februarys The revelution was repared. The list
of the Provisional Government was ready 'when
Thiers and Odilon Carrot were dreaming of consti
tutional opposition, and a mere change of Ministry,
with a long administration and possession of power
under the regency of the Duchess of Orleans. It is
highly probable that these enlightened statesmen
contemplated great ameliorations in the condition
and institutions of France; but power was not to
pass into their hands. There was a craftier party
behind the scenes, who were wide awake to the
chances of the moment. "They had their lists pre
pared, their course marked out Neither of the
parties opposed to them knew of their movements.
Nobody dreamed that Lamartine and Gamier Pages '
had constructed a Provisional Government ; the se
cret, though necessarily confided to a number of
persons, w.-is well kept. When Paris rose to demand
the dismissal of M. Guixot, thin party sought the ex
pulsion of the King. When Thiers and Barrot of
fered terms from the barricades, the republicans de
manded further concessions; ana when, in the Cham
ber of Deputies, the accession of the Count de Paris
and the regency of the Duchens of Orleans were
about to be proclaimed, Ldru Rollin demanded
and obtained a Provisional Government of his own
naming. This Government was not balloted for;
they were not sppointed by the voice of the moment ;
there was nothing of accident In the affair. It was
all the result of premeditation and design. Now,
considering all things, this Provisional Government
has done wonders; wehave stated thatit has com
mitted great errors, but, we trust, not fatal ones.
The star ofLnmartine is yet in the ascendancy,
and it is now shining with greater brilliancy than
ever. He has kept on in his career with wouderful
constancy and courage. He has not aimed to acquire
personal popularity at the expense of principle, eith
er at home or abroad. He has opposed the danger
ous course of Ledru Rollin and his section of the
Government, and has refust-d to listen to the demands
of the Communiats ; and his replies to the Poles, the
Germans, the Irish, and the Belgians have been as
disinterested and as nolle as sound public judgment
end high chivalric private honor could dictate.
The constaucy and high principle of Lamartine have
so far carried him successfully forward ; all the mod
erate men of the Provisional Government adhere to
him. Even Marrast, the stern republican mayor of
Paris, and others of his caste, who stand half-way
between the burgeoise and the -people, have rallied
round Lamartine, and left the anarchists to depend
upon the clubs arid the professional -revolutionists.
These latter attempted to commence an emeute on
Sunday, but the drum was beat by order of Lamar
tine, and two hundred thousand citizens' bayonets
bristled at once along the line of the boulevards in
defeuce of law and order. Paris was illuminated,
the people rejoiced at the defeat of the design to dis
place Lamartine, Marrnst, and Gamier Pages, and
substitute Blanqui and Cabet, leaders of the Com
munists; to disarm the National' Guard, displace
the magistracy, and replace them with working men ;
and to remove all the principal officers of the army
and appoint leaders of the Communist clubs. In
lieu of this a decree has been issued to put down the
Communists, to close their clubs, and to arrest their
leaders.
A more full account of this defeated project, of
dismembering the Government, with lively and gra
phic details, appears in the Paris correspondence of
the Y. Tribune. The news of the intended out
break created a great sensation throughout Paris.
An immense mass ef working men were assembled
in the Champ de Mars, and the report was spread
about mid day, that the crowd was marching to pil
lage and plunder the City, as well as to subvert the
Government. The narrutive proceeds :
At that hour the Government were assembled at
the bureau of the Finance Minister. They were
informed that men from the ultra clubs were endea
voriog to excite the workmen on Mars' Field to get !
tht control of the Government, to remove Lamartine
places. Now, all depended on not losing a moment's
time. The necessity and danger of the crisis led
Ledru Rollin and his party to harmony and co-operation
with the other members of the Government.
At half past 12, the order was giveu to beat the call
for the National Guard throughout the City. As
the danger, or at least the belief in the danger, was
spread in every part of the City, every one was at
home prepared.
It was not half an hour after the beating of the
call when 150,000 National Guards were under
arms, together with the whole 24 battalions of the
Movable Guard. As if they had grown up out of
the earth at some magician's incantation, there were
60.000 men standing at the Place de Grieve, before
the Hotel de Ville, and the quays before the Tuile
ries were occupied by mas.es that could not be num
bered. On the Place de Carousel Gen. Duvivier
had drawn up the Movable Guard, and after he had
assured himself of their obedience to bis commands,
he ordered them to different parts of the l-ity, to
which they marched in double quick time. Pickets
stood at all the street corners, to prevent the forma
tion of barriendes, and at all public places, all pas-
sen eers at 2 o'clock could see a harvest oi oayoneu.

Gen. Courtais called upon the Movable Guard to
fraternise with the National Guard ; and thus among
all the men in arms there was, but one prevailing
thought, to support the Government at whatever
cost. ' ,
Meanwhile Col. Ray had fortified the Hotel do
Ville, at every window, at every door, loaded can
non were stationed served by ihe garde republicaine.
The National Guard of the suburb had also ten
ordered into the City, and by 4 o'clock the legions
of St. Denis were on the pavement of Paris.
At 3 o'clock, the procession of the laborers from
Mars' Field put itself in motion. As it was Sun
day, all were in their holiday attire. Almost every
corps bad a banuer carried in front, and all these
banners bore the inscription : M Abolition of the Ex
ploitation of Man, by Man: Onranizti on of T . Vini.
by Association.3 The procession was endless. The
legions of the National Guard several times mtrch
ed across it, and separated its parts, The National
Guard also kept along with it up to the Hotel do
Ville. - r '
For making a hostile attempt was of course no
longer to be thought of at the mere alarm of one
of the unarmed men of the procession, it would have
been at once overwhelmed. The Government re
ceived one by one,' the deputations of the faithful
armed bodies, the school of St Cyr, and many dele
gations from the friendly clubs.' Lamartine answer
ed them that be had been confident from the first,
that the day would change from a day of danger to
a day of triumph, and of recognition of the Provis
ional Government 'The rallying cry of both armed
and unarmed Paris must be: "The whole undivi
ded Provisional Government P Some parties had
hoped to divide' tho members of the Government,
and in their difference to convert the country into
two hostile camps. Though, said be, differences of
opinion may do roona amongst us, we are still uni
ted by love for our country, for republican institu
tions by our devotion to this City and to France 1 -This
unity is the symbal of our Republic I : Confide
in all of os, and the Republic is saved. - '. '
The Provisional Government then appeared in
body at tho window of the Hotel de Ville, and was
sdwithaocheheeiwa

your attachment to the Republic ! Call upon your
brethren to appear Derore us, that wo may snow u
of you the1 evidences of our love and of our hopes."
At this the workmen joined in the cry "Long
live the Provisional Government !" And as if the
wKole mass of the people stood in need of some ob
ject on which to expend their hate, there burst from
the cry : A bas Its communistes ! Down with Blan
qui ! Down with Cabet ! and every thing that had
lungs, joined in the verdict of condemnation passed
upon the Communistes.
The legions of the National Guards from the vi
cinity were streaming through the streets of Paris,
toward the Hotel de 'Ville, without cessation, till 10
in the evening. They all constantly repeated the
cry against the Communistes. In the evening, the
City was illuminated as if it had been freed from
great danger. Once more reconciliatiouhas been
the order of the day among the whole population,
and for the moment hatred and discord, anarchy
and all the vices of idleness, or of immoderate de
sires, seem to be banished to the mysterious sources
of the suppressed conspiracy.
CONGRESS.
In the Senate on May 13, Mr Badgrer inquired
of the Chairman of the" Committee on Printing'
ihe cause of the delay in the Printing of the
Senate, and why the reports on the Pea Patch
had not been furnished.
Mr. Cameron replied that he had been sick,
and absent from the Senate for otne dys, but he
thought it was a mistake that there had been any -delay
in the printing, or that it had not bftejias
well done ss usual. , ff'-')
The Senate thn resumed thejconsideratidn jpf
!he bill authorizing the temporary milua'fjroccu
pat ion of Yucatan.
Mr. M'ller addressed the Senate in opposition
to the bill. If he could look upon it as a meas
ure of humanity alone, he should have no hesita
tion, in giving it his support But the question
had been so to place it upon the ground of expe
diency. ; It is a rase in which, at the fme time
that charity and assistance is snlicitatea by- Gov.
Mendez, be offers to pay for it with the sovereign
ty of his country. And at the time of this appli
cation was made Mr. Mendes was not Governor
and had no authority to make the application, or J
the tender. x
At the conclusion of Mr. Miller's remarks, Mr.
Calhoun expressed his ioteniion to address- the
Senate, and moved an adjournment, but gave way
to
Mr. Clarke, who offered a Resolution, which was
adopted, calling on the President to intorm the
Senate whether any order has been given to all
or any of our Squadron in the Gulf to proceed
to Yucatan, for the protection of the -white popu
lation ; and if so, to communicate a copy of such
orders, and any other correspondence on the sub
ject. And then the Senate adjourned.
The House of Representatives in Committee
of the whole, took up the Private Calendar, and
was occupied for the remainder of the d jy in dis
cussing the bill to pay the legal representative
of Benjamin Hodges, late of Maryland, deceased
$280. for a slave wbo was conveyed from the U
uited States on board the Bnti.h fleet, in the
year 181f and not recovered by Hodges or his
legal representatives. The claim is made under
the first article of the Treaty of Ghent, and the
$200 is the average value of slaves, established
by the commissioners under that treaty.
. The bill of course gave rise to a debate on the
subject of Slavery, in which Messrs. Tuck, Rhett
Chapman. Colamer, Giddings, Woodward, aud
others participated.
In the course of the speech of Mr. Giddings,
some rather exciting remarks passed betwenhim
and Mr. Holmes of South Carolina, as to the
rsuse of the former's expulsion in 1842 which Mr
Holmes allegpd was for eudeavouring, "nurrep
litiously," to put in a petition. Tin Mr. Gid
dings denied, and Mr. Holmes reiterated, appeal
ing to the journal for the truth of hii statement.
.Mr: Giddings said if the journal proved that, it
would prove a falsehood.
This Mr Gay le seemed to' consider personal
towards Mr. Holmes, but the latter did not think
so, and Mr. Giddings disclaimed any intention to
Finally the affair passed off very pleasantly.
The Committee rose without coming to any
conclusion on the bill, and the House adjourned.
The jrst business before the Senate, on May
15. was ihe resolution of Mr. Johnson of Mary"
land, rafting on the President ot the United States
fd his reasons why cerain nominations bad not

Mr. Borland spoke at some length in opposi

The subject was then informally laidaside and
the Senate proceeded to the consideration of the
order of the day, viz : the bill for the Military Oc
cupation of Yucatan.
Mr. Calhoun addressed the Senate in a speech
of some Jength iu opposition to the bill and a
mendments. Mr. Bagby has the floor on this subject for to
morrrow. A message in writingVss received from the
Prescient of the United States, transmitting cor
respntHience between the Secretary of the Navy
and Commodore Perry, relative to affording aid
to the people of Yucatan.
On motion the Senate adjourned.
; In the House of Representatives, a Bill refun.

Mr. Baily offered an amendment to the Reso

A-sit of Romance- We find the following
story in: the New York Sun: A fashionable
young man of about thirty, was ootieed, yester
day afternoon, promenading between the Park
and the Hepital in Broadway. He was attired
in somewhat sailor fashion and presented evident
marks of the ruin of dissipation. His d irk hair
was long and matted, and his .toilet apparently
had not been attended toJeV ofany days. .At one
of his many turns be "niet two ladies- One was
tall, strikingly handsome, and dressed, in deep
mourning, the other' was short' and fair, and be
decked height fancjr colors. When the sailor
and the lady in mourning met, the latter wildly
screamed, and would have fallen on the side-walk
but for the impulsive effort F the strange look
ing man to catch her in hi anna 1 ; 'Good Heav
ens, Edward- convulsively, gasped the female,
and Eliza, my own loved one, was hoarsely
whispered by the sailor. He bore the Tainting
form in his, arms gently -into Mr. -'a store,
where every attention was' her distressed situa.
