la oar opinion, there is a striking analogy be
tween this system of the rood old davs when
: 1 & k. . -1 . -
imx repablic was pore, antaioted by 'the self
proevrtisg ambition of corrupt, designing poli
ticises, and the present system, as laid down in
she "expose" we have quoted from. We draw
sis analogy thaa : In those early day, the peo-
pja voiicg ioran many caooiaaiss as tney pleased
ajsve a majority to seme one, and the electors,
sctlrg directly as delegates of the people, cast
1 r-eir votes aa tb majority directed at the polls.
Nr.w the American system works thus: As
many prom ia eat men are brought forward as
their friends think proper, tbey are voted for by
be Councils, and the candidate who obtaina a
cnejorivy of all the rotes i the one for whom
tbeir deWata is instructed to vote ; the convert
lrn ef delegate assembles, the votes are cast
rd the perscss aba receive a majority of all
tbe rrtsa is declared to be the Bum i nee. Now
the only difference we can see is tbat in toe first
r the people elect tbeir candidate with their
tint electoral 4Wa:ion ; in the second the peo
ple Lav the trouble nf going to the poll to elect
ibi candidate, after hating nominated him ia
the eounciVroam--ia other ward, to aceompl'uJi

some of the evils of ons and benefit of the othei

of them the world most jadge. The Conven
tion Ttsm ws havs shown is the favorite child
of political corruption and intrigue ; the ether
was nlanned aad goes into operation with the
objeot and intention to reform mismanagement
and oorreot abuses. Tb former is seen to be
a. dMnotia and arbitrarv manner of diotating to
the ieonla and tend itroneiv to monarchical
absolatism ; the latter is true democratic repub
licanism. The results of one .are by far the
greater part bad, and calculated to deteriorate
the intellectual standard much lower than svsn
its oresent low state : the effects of the other,
so far as' we ars able to judge, have been good
by their example and influence designed to check
the headlooe downward career which oar gov
ernment, in the hands of incompetent ruler, is
pursuing, aod to plaos in offioe capable aod
faithful men, who will do their duties as they

Mr. Wise will certainly be defeated. A to the

pass, and has not a single quality which should
recommend him to the confidence or approba
tion of tb Whig party. He is a candidate of
the foreign party, and therefore should not be
voted fur by those who wish to see American
principle prevail. He ha made numerous
stamp speeches, in all ofVhich the American
associations bare been the objects of bis gros
sest abuse. They have been lalsely cbsrged
with the design of subverting the constitution,
of proscribing a religious denomination, and
of hostility to all citisens of foreign birth. In-
stead of which, if we know anything of the
order, its object is to maintain the constitution
ia all its parts, that wbicbguaranties religious
sect over others to check the arrogant assump
tion tbat there shall be but one church in this
country, and tbat under the control of a foreign

the most high-handed manner, times innumera

whenever the circumstances and conditions of
any oountry may, in bis Holiness' estimation,
render it expedient and practicable. Certainly
it is an existent power still oberisbed in tb
bosom of the Church still claimsd by the Pope,
and for bim by the Cardinals, Archbishops,
Bishops and Priests of the Catholic faith.
Bat we have not the time nor the space to
dwell oDon this branch of Mr. Earner's discos
sion. His vindicstion of the Order from the
various charges which are abroad against it
was effectual and eloquent. Some parts of bis
sneech were in the highest style of oratory.
Secrecy, Proscription, Abolition, were all trium
phantly met and disposed of. I here was not a
man in that crowded audience who, after bear
ing Mr. Rayner through, did not in bis heart re
cognise in the American Order a league of hon
est, high-minded, patriotic spirits struggling to
save their country from the dangers whioh threa
ten it from the various sources to wnicn tney
are to be traced. Upon the subject of Abolition
Mr. Rayner was peculiarly happy in his remarks.
He did more than clear the skirt of the Order
from that foul and miserable imputation. He
convicted the anti American party of Virginia
of being the real aiders and abettors of the
Northern fanatics, by tbeir constant practice of
holding up to public view the truest men in the
Commonwealth as branded Abolitionists. Tbat
the effeot of the practice we speak of has been
in the highest degree mischievous at the North
is just as certain as that the sun is now shining
whilst we write. We are and have long since
been satisfied tbat the Junto Democracy of Vir
ginia have contributed mora to build op the
Abolition party than all other influences put to
gether. On tbis score they have incurrfvi a re
sponsibility of the most fearful character, and if
tbey can settle the beavj account between them
selves and tbeir consciences, tbey can perform
"a labor compared with which the Herculean
twelve were but trifles. What ia the extraor
dinary spectacle that we see before us now ?
Wbo are they tbat are invoking with equal ear
nestness and with the same common sympathy
and desirestbeoverthrowof the American party?
Who are they that are looking with the same
anxiety, and with the eame bitter hostility to
the Order, for tbs result of the Virginia eleotion
on Thursday wekf Who are they tbat are
prepared to rejoice together if Wise shall be
elected? Why the Wilsons, the Seward", the
Hales, the G reels ys, the Garrisons and Beechers
of the North, on the one hand, and the Virginia
anti Americans, the Enquirers, the South Sidt
Democrats, the Mssjps, the Hunters in short,
the whole body of Wise's sapporters, on the
other 1 These latter have assiduously been
working to make the Northern Abolitionists
believe that a very large proportion of the peo
ple of Virginia are with them, heart and soul,
in their principles and purposes and it will
be the fault of the Wie party, if the slavery
agitation shall rend this Union into fragment.
We actually believe that party would to-morrow
rejoice at a Seward triumph in New York over
the American Order, though upon the banner
of the latter were inscribed "Down with the
Abolitionists I Down with the enemiea of the
Constitution and the Union ! We stand up for
the rights of the South and will perish in main
taining them !"
FREE-MASONS IN TURKEY.t
Although free-masonry has for more than
thirty years been generally supposed to exist a
mung the Mabommedans, and traces of it were
found in Turkey by the Russian officers after
the campaign of 1829. yet they were too slight
to prove the fact ; and it is only within tbs last
few years that it was satisfactorily demonstra
ted by a German free-mason chancing to pass
through Belgrade, where he discovered a ma
sonic lodge, to which he was invited, aod where
he received a hospitable reception. It appears
npw to be proved beyond all doubt tbat the Tur
kish brothers wbo exercise their masonic duties,
under the name of Dervishes, are to all intents
and purposes the same as our own order of free
masons, with but very little difference in their
customs and ceremonies, and making use of ex
actly the same signs, words, and grips, to recog
nise each other. The Turkish free-mason ap
pear to be in a more elevated state of civilisa
tion than is usual amongst the Orientals gene
rally ; their views of religion are far higher than
those impoeed by Islam isuj ; they rejected poly
gimy, contenting themselves with oie single
wife, and at the masonic banquets the women
appear unveiled a striking proof of the mutual
! confidence the masonic brethren repose in each

1 1 ; THE FIELD OF WATERLOO.
I have ap.ken" heretofore with some levity of
the nntrac that exists between th English
and French character; bat it deserves more -rioue
consideration. The two great nations
of modern times most diametrically opposed,
and. most- worthy of each other rivalry, ee
sentially distinct in their cnaracters, exseiuKR
ia opposite qualities, and reflecting lustre on
each other by tbeir very oppositioo ! In noth
ing is this contrast more strikingly evinced
thaa Ia their military conduct. For ages have
they beea contending, and for ages have they
orowded each other's history with eewof splen
did heroism. "Take the Battle of Waterloo, for
instance, the last and most memorable trial ot 1
tbeir rival prowess, r Nothing cool J surpass the
brilliant daring on the one ide, aod the stead-
fast enduring on the otner. xne franco cav

loping round those ssrtied walls of men, seek

in tne air. in toe neat ot tneir entnusiasm, sou
braving the whole front of battle. The British
troop, oa the other head, forbiddea to move or
fire, stood firm aad enduring. Their columns
were ripped op by cannonry ; whole rows were
swept down at a shot: the survivors closed their
ranks, aod stood firm. In this way many col

tempest without firing a shot ; without any ac
tion to stir their blood, or excite their spirits.
Death thinned their ranks, bat conld not shake
their soala.
A beautiful instanoe of the quick and gene
rous impulse to whioh the French arc prone
is given ia the ease of a French cavalier, in
the hottest of the action, charging furiously
upon a British, officer, bat perceiving in the
moment of aesaalt that bis adversary bad lost
bis sword-arm, dropping tb point of bis sabre
and courteously riding on. Peace be with the
generous warrior, whatever were bis fatel If
bs went down in the storm of battle, with the
foundering fortunes of bis chieftain, may the
turf of Waterloo grow green above bis grave I
and happier far would be the fate of such a spir
it, to sink amidst the tempest, unconscious of de
feat, than to survive, and mourn over the blight
ed laurels of his country.
In this way the two armies fought through
a long aod bloody day. The French with en
thusiastis valor, the English With cool, inflexi
ble courage, until Fate, as if to leave the ques-
tion of superiority still undecided between two
such adversaries, brought up the Prussians to
decide the fortunes of tbs field.
It was several years afterward, that I visited
the field of Waterloo. The ploughshare had
been busy with its oblivious labors, and the fre
quent harvest bad nearly obliterated the vesti
ges of war. Still the blackened ruins of
Hoguemont stood, a monumental pile, to mark
the violence of this vehement struggle. Its
broken wall, pierced by bullets, and shattered
by explosions, showed the deadly strife that
had taken place within ; when Gaul and Briton,
hemmed in between narrow walls, band to hand
and foot to foot, fought from garden to court
yard, from court-yard to chamber, with intense
and concentrated rivalship. Columns of smoke
lowered from the vortex of battle as from
voloano: "it was," said my guide, "like a little
hell upon earth." Not far off, two or three
broad spots of rank unwholesome green still
marked the places where these rival warriors.
after their fierce and fitful struggle, slept qui
etly together in the lap of their common mother
earth. Over all the rest of the field, peace bad
resumed its sway. The thoughtless whistle of
tho peasant floated on the air, instead of the
trumpet's clangor ; the team slowly labored up
the bill-side, once shaken by the boots of rush
iog squadrons : and wide fields of corn waved
peacefully over the soldier's grave, as summer
seas dimple over the place where the tall ship
lies baried.
To the foregoing desultory notes on the French
military character let me append a few traits
which I picked up verbally in one of the French
provinces. They may have already appeared in
print, bat I have never met with them.
At the breaking out of the revolution, when
so many of the old families emigrated, a des
cendant of the great Turenne, by the name of
De Latour V Auvergne, refused to accompany
his relations, and eutered into the republican
army. He served in all the campaigns of the
revolution, distinguished himself by hi valor.
his accomplishment, and bis generous spirit,
and might have risen to fortune and to the
highest honors. He refused, however, all rank
in the army, above tbat of captain, and would
receive no recompense for bie achievements but
a sword of honor. Napoleon, in testimony of
1 . if . L . 1 . n .
is menu, gave aim im nue 01 rremier uren
adier de France (First Grenadier of France.)
which was the only title be woald ever bear.
He was killed in Germany, at the battle of
Neuborg. To honor bia memory, his place
was always retained in bis regiment, as if be
still occupied it ; and whenever the regiment
was mustered, and the name of De Latour
D'Auvergne was called oat, the reply was
" Dead on the field of honor I"
