CT Another runaway affair matrimonial came off

at Coaes's Hotel, in this city, on the 30th ult. The "fugitives were from a neighboring town, and did not seem to be very much "panic stricken, though

we have heard it said that some are liable to such an affection for a very brief period of time. They soon "rally however, and the results are seldom fatal. Doubts were raised as to whether the "Sentinel" would not come "down" upon the Rev. Brother who officiated on this occasion. We are free to state that we have no fault to find in this case. The parties were not "at home;" their "mothers" probably "knew they were out ;" and if the ceremony had not been performed, who knows what, else might have happened! In this consideration lies the justification. The other cases were very different- They could not be justified upon the same plea, nor upon the obligations based upon religious, moral, or social considerations, which should be observed at least by those whose vocation it is to enforce their observance upon others Foreign IVeivs. The steamship Britannia arrived at Boston on the 7th inst., bringing 7 days later news from Europe'. We have the following telegraphic despatch by way of Madison papers: The news from France is of a highly interesting character. Great excitement prevailed there. Ledru Eollin has attempted to destroy the Provisional Government. Accounts state that great numbers of troops

are constantly arriving at Paris from all parts of the country. It is supposed that the causes of the hos

Bourgoise over the Provisional Government.

A Reckvit Killed. We learn from various source, that, on the 26ih ult., at a recruiting station in the village of Fairfax, Monroe county, in this State, a recruit named Newman was killed under the following circumstances. The deceased became intoxicated and uproarious, and was therefore put under guard. In his rage he sought to escape; he repeatedly got away from his keepers, but was brought back. Still more enraged, he seized a musket and threatened to shoot the Sergeant in command. The Sergeant gave positive orders to the guard to shoot Newman should

papers in Ohio. It puts our State Journal in a quandary eo hard to get out of, that it has made no attempt to do so. The article shows beyond dispute, that if a "regard for whig principles' as the Journal said, "forbids the nomination of Taylor, the same "regard" must forbid the nomination of McLean. The Journal of the feth inst. says that "devotion to principle, and not its abandonment, prompted the course it has taken," in regard to Taylor; and further, it "desires no man nominated who declares he will not be the exponent of the principles of the Whig party. How then, can it be in favor of judge McLean in preference to Gen. Taylor ! Notwithstanding all this talk about "whig principles," and the pretensions of sincerity in their advocacy, the Journal will find itself supporting any man who may be nominated by the Whig National Caucus, which is to be held at Philadelphia on the 7th of June, no matter what his previous sentiments may have been, and no matter how tenaciously and boldly he may have refused to be "the exponent of the principles" of the whig party. , Judge McLean for Peesident. -The Indiana State Journal, which for a long time has been numbered among the "Taylor organs," baa at length abandoned its "first love" and now goes it strong forjudge McLean for President. The reasons assigned by the Journal for taking down Taylor and putting up McLean are first, because Gen. Taylor will not consent to receive a nomination at the hands of a National Convention, and second because he will not agree to stand as the exponent of the doctrines of the whig party. Well, for a political editor these are good and sufficient reasons. But in this respect is Gen. Taylor more objectionable than Judge McLean 1 Who can say that the Judge has pledged himself to submit to a National Convention, or in the event of his election by the Whig party he will regard it as his' duty to carry out Whig measures 1 In 1334, Mr. McLean was counted as of the democratic household, and was put forward for President ' by a portion of the Jackson party in opposition to Mr. Van; but the little Magician was too many for hirn, and so completely headed him in the affections of the party, as to frighten the Judge from the track. From the time of this "heading" the friends of the Judge date his return to the Whig ranks. The friends of the Jut'ge then, somewhat like the friends of Gen. Taylor now, put him forward as an independent candidate ; and in many of the States, as in dome of the counties, where Jacksonism completely overslaughed every thing else, many members of the Whig party, who held a half a loaf to be better than no bread, warmly espoused his cause. It was whilst the Judge occupied this position that he addressed a letter to a gentleman in a neighboring county, from which any one who may feel an interest in the subject may learn the estimation in which Judge M. held national conventions or cuueuees. From this letter we make an extract or two for the benefit of our young readers who may not be familiar with the political history of thnt day. In reply to the question as to whether he "intended to become a candidate for the Presidency, irrespective of the decision of a National Convention," Judge McLean says : "Whether I shall become candidate or not will depend entiie ly on the voluntary action of the people. The choice

of their public servants in my opinion, belongs to the people, and not to iho-e who, from selfish view, may assume the responsibility of acting for them. "I am opposed to a National Caucus or Convention now, as I was in eighteen hundied and twenty-three, when an attempt was made, through its influence, to elect a President of the United States. A National Convention ii contrary to the established usages of the democratic party. It has a direct tendency to place the whole political power of the country into the bands of a few individuals, and to deprive the people of a full and fair expression of their will. It will substitute fur the official

organs, under the constitution and laws a cabal, which will control, through a corrupt influence, the whole action and policy of the government." We know that it may be said in extenuation of this paragraph that the Judge was at that time speaking as a locofoco, and had reference to locofoco national conventions. We are aware of this, but still we do not see how the principle is thereby changed. But where, we ask, as a Whig, has he spoken differently 1 Will any one point us to the public document in which he has given his assent to abide the decision of a Whig National Convontion, or, in the event of his election any assurance that he will use his influence to carry out Whig measures! Even as late as 1S43, (we believe he was called a Whig then,) in a letter published in the National Intelligencer of Sept. 30, he says : "I do not desire aod would not receive the Presidency if within my reach, as the instrument of a party. Indeed I ahould count it no honor to have my name associated with the downward course of our Government, and such a course is accelerated, by ultra-pirtyism. To bring back the Government to its old foundations, to restore its lost character, its former purity, energy and elevation would be an achievement second only to that of Washington an achievement wbich would make any individual the favored ion of his country. Of this who would Dot be proud i And short of this object no boDest man can desire the Pusidency." Now we would ask the Indiana State Journal, or any other McLean paper that may choose to give attention, if Gen. Taylor's recent letters upon the subject of the Presidency, which have made him objectionable as a whig candidate, are not almost literal paraphrases of the paragraph first above quoted! Gen. Taylor says he will not be the candidate of a party, and in doing so be but reiterates what Judge McLean has said before hilft. Ou the whole we think Gen. Taylor's Whiggery and reliability in every way equal to that of Judge

McLean, and if the Whtg party intend to consult only "expediency" in selecting a candidate, they had as well take the one as the other.

nnancial policy we now propose to present to me puolictas many who may feel disposed to subscribe to the stock may like to see that they can do so safely, and that the work will be made. Mr. S. said, that as the company was not organized, he could only give what he trusted would be the financial policy of the company. The charter authorized subscriptions in money, labor, materials and lands. The road from Indianapolis to the Ohio line would be about 80 miles, which he estimated to cost about $600,000, as the route was the best in the State for a rail-rond track. The land subscriptions should be limited to $300.000, or one-half the stock, 5 per cent, on which, payable in cash, would be $15,000. The other stock would be payable in annual instalments of $5 on each share of $25, after theV3 per cent, was paid on subscribing; this would make all the stock payable iu money, labor and materials, payable in five years, the time it was contemplated in which to complete the entire work. This matter wts plain and needed no explanation; but the question had frequently been asked, How do you propose to make the land subscription available in the construction of the work ! Will you wait till you sell the lands, or require contractors to take them ! Or will

you issue scrip upon them, till he country with irre

deemable trash, and have another White Dog or Blue Pup concern of it ! He said neither of these was the proposed policy. The course of policy that his judgment had marked out as the true one, was to issue bonds to the amount of the land fund, bearing an interest of six or seven per cent, payable semi-annually, the principal payable absolutely in ten or fifteen years, and at the will of the company after five or six years, made payable to bearer, and not subject to be pledged or hypothecated by the company, and making the company liable to the holder for the amount only which shall be indorsed on the bond by the treasurer as having been received in cash, including the discount made upon the sale. The bonds, he thought, should not bt of denominations under 100, and he would

prefer thetn much higher. They should be receivable

in payment for lands, or debts due the company, and

be convertible into stock at the will of the holder; and they should be a lien upon the land fund and the

road, and these provisions should be stated on the face

of the bond, and secured by the by-laws of the com

pany, as the most of them were by the charter. Mr.

S. believed, he said, that these provisions would afford ample security to all concerned, and obviate the ob

jections of many. The question that here naturally

occurred was, whether such bonds so secured could be negotiated in the market ! He thought they could at or near par, as they would be a safe investment on

the most ample security, and would give an opportu

nity to aid in the work to those who preferred them to stock in the first instance. But suppose they should not command cash at par, they would at near par, say at 00 or 95; is it not obvious that with cash, or twothirds cash, and one-third 6tock, the company could do more work on the road than they could do with either the bonds, scrip, or any credit system that could be adopted. The operation of this policy would be to secure the company, the bond holder, the contractor, the laborer, and the public, while the road would be constructed at its cheapest cash cost, which at this favorable time, when produce is so low and

laborers so plenty, would be perhaps lower than any

similar work has been constructed any where.

The last and not least important question, it may combinations

Washington, May 2, 1613. Since th refaciamento of the abolition debate, by your representative, Judge Wick, the proceedings of Congress have been barren of interest, until last Sat-

urday, when the President by message communicated to both houses the application of the people of Yucatan for protection against the Indians, offering the

sovereignty of that peninsula for their protection.

Upon this message, tho whlgs, through Mr. Rock

well, of Massachusetts, attempted to spring a debate

against time, for the convenience of letting off spleen

against the acquisition of territory: but they were

repressed under .the force of honest acquiescence in the appeal to our humanity from these suffering neigh bore, who though a province of Mexico, have been from the first wholly neutral in the conflict. The

President, as your readers will have seen, says nothing about the purpose for which the country should

be occupied, beyond the mere dictate of humanity,

and the keeping away from this continent any at

tempt at European interference in the way of estab

lishing new colonies. The message is a silent, but most powerful argument for the passage of the Ten Regiment bill, which, under the force of the whig majority still sleeps in the House.

On the eubject of the reduction of postage, upon

which numerous memorials and petitions have been

sent in during the session, and with much confidence

of success, from almost all quarters, I am sorry to report the probability that nothing will be done -this

session, lhe committee on the Post Umce and l ost

Roads, I learn, have matured a bill, just such as the

country wants; but it has not yet been reported, and

now it is getting to be too late in the session to get

such a measure through from the start. The bill in

the hands of the committee provides for the reduction of letter postage to the uniform standard of five cents, and for reducingthe present rates of newspaper post

age about one half restoring free postage within thirty miles of the place of publication. The masses

will have to speak again on this subject ; and they will speak, as certainly as their wishes are now disregarded. How many there are in the neighborhood

of every newspaper, that would gladly lend their sup

port to these most essential channels and reservoirs of popular intelligence, if it were not for the trifling tax

of the Post Office.

Of the nine members of this committee on the Post Office and Poet Roads, there are but two which have not manifested a very censurable neglect upon this subject the names of these two are Daniel B. St. John, of New York, and Elisha Erabree, of Indiana.

The Senate have disposed of the California claims bill passed it by a large majority. It proposes $700,000 for the payment of the claims arising against the government under Col. Fremont's expedition, to be audited by a board of three commissioners

appointed by the President. The subject of the veto power came incidentally under discussion in the Senate pending the consideration pof this bill, enough to discover the facility with which the whigs can change their issues. You remember the tone of Mr. Clay and his followers in

j-1840 to 1944, how they hit upon the abolishment of

this power as one of their issues before the people. But now many whig Senators have come round so far as to regard it as one of the most important conservative principles of the constitution. Give them credit for this. But for the veto power, there is no tell

ing where the constitution would have been by this time. Thereto has been and will continue to be the

protection

I'ronniM Imiicitto of Gen. Taylor. Some weeks ago Mr. Clay put forth his pronunciamento to the faithful. This has produced its effect. The name of Clay was making sad havoc with the prospects of the no-party candidate. Mr. Bliss has been East, and has no doubt held deep consultations with the knowing ones of the universal harmonious party. He passed through this city, and is known to have been in conference with tho Taylor men of Louisville. He has reached Baton Rouge, and in due time forth comes the document. Gen. Taylor had to say something on the questions that have long divided the country, and still divide it. It was t'eemed impossible to rally the whigs to the support of a man

who really does not agree with them in their views of

J public policy. 1 he necessity for this letter wasclearly seen and felt ; but the question naturally arises,

will this do lor all whiggery. Ihe intelligent reader

will perceive that it is completely non-committal on

every point upon which it is expected to be explicit.

Will General Taylor submit his claims to a whiff

convention ! Who can tell from his letter 1 As to the old issues, no one can gather any definite opinion about them from this letter. We t hould judge, from one part of the letter, that he would not veto any bill that Congress might pass whether a bank, tariff, or Wilmot proviso bill. And yet he would exercise the veto power, on constitutional grounds orcase of hasty legislation. Indeed, this letter nxy good democracy or very good whiggery, as you take it. To the sentiment of the letter all would subscribe of every party, except to the declaration that he is a whig, but not an ultra whig. This means, we suppose, that he is a whig like John Tyler, but not an extra whig, like Mr. Clay. Lou. Dem. Bator Rouge, April 22d, 1843. Caft. J. S. Alusou : Dear Sir : My opinions lave recently been so ofien mixconceived and misrepresented, that I deem it due to

myself, if not to tny friends, to mnke a brief exposition of them upon the topics to which you have called ray attention. 1 liHve consented to the use of my name aa a candidate for the presidency. I have frankly avowed my own distrust of tny fitness fur that high station ; but, having, at the solicitation of many of niy countrymen, taken ray position as a candidate, I do not feel at liberty to surrender that position, until my frien Is manifest a wish that 1 should retire from it. I will thun most gladly do so. I have no private purposes to accomplish no party projects to build up no enemies to punish uothing to serve, but my country. I have been very often addressed by letter, and my opinions have been asked upon almost every question that might occur to the writers, as alTectijig the interest o( their country or their party. 1 have not always responded to their inquiries, for various reasons. I confess, whilst I have great cardinal principles, which will regulate my political life, I am not sufficiently familiar with all the minute details of political legislation, to give solemn pledges to exert my influence, if I were President, to carry out this or defeat that measure. I have no concealment I have no opinion which I would not readily proclaim to my assembled countrymen; but crude impression upon matter of policy, which may b right to-day and wrong to-.norow, are perhaps, not the

best test oi fitness for othce. Une who cannot be trusted without pledges, caunot be confided in, merely on account of them. I will proceed, however, now, to respond to your inquiries. First I reiterate what I have often said I am a Whig, but not an ultra Whig. If elected, I would not be the mere President of a party. I would endeavor to act independent of party domination. I ahould feel bound to administer the Government, untrammelled by party schemes. Second The veto power. The power given by the constitution to the Executive to interpose his veto is a high conservative power, but, in my opinion, should never be exercised, exc-pt in cases of clear violation of jhe constitution, or manifest haste and want of consider

ation by-Congress. Indeed, 1 have thought that for many years past, the known opinions and wishes of the Executive, have exercised undue and injurious influence upon the legislative department of the government, and from this cause 1 have thought our system was in danger of undergoing a great change from its true theory. The personal opinions of the individual who may happen to occupy the Executive chair ought not to control the action of Congress upon questions of domestic policy, nor ought his

objections to be interposed, when questions of constitutional power have been settled by the various departments of go-

The British "Chartists. The s;x points of the " People's Charter" are 1. A representation of

the whole adult population of the kingdom. 2. The right of voting by bullet. 3. Annual elections, of members of parliament. 4. The abolitionf the test of property qualification to constitute membership. 5. Payment of members of parliament. 6. The division of the country into -quäl electoral districts. Such are the demands of the chartists of England. In relation to the late English new, the New York correspondent of the Washington Uuion observes: " It is really difficult to say which party to the recent " great demonstration" at London the Government or the Chartists cuts the more ridiculous figure. The Chartists, after much promising and threatening, many speeches and resolutions, meetings and conventions, marching and counter-marching to no end, sneaked out at last " at the small end of the horn."

Government, on the other hand, after getting itself into a fever of apprehension, arming in hot haste its men of war and peace, its soldiers, and sailors, and marines, horse, foot, and artillery, 5000 police yid 250,000 special constables, after alarming the whole country, and drawing the attention of the world by its immense preparation, sallied forth, like the farmer's household in v'ilkie's picture, only to meet a very harmless, half-starved and superannuated donkey. It was a very broad farce all round. But the Chartists came out of it, looking a little less foolish than the government, inasmuch as they accomplished more than ever they did before, in frightening utterly "the strongest government in Europe." Napoleon himself achieved no more than this ; and it is a substantial triumph for their ragged battalions."

be said, is, how do you expect to pay these bonds

when they fall due 1 Mr. S. said, the company would have first the whole land fund, equal in amount to the face of the bonds, and ten or fifteen years to make it available. Second, the road and its proceeds, which could be applied, if necessary ; and third, additional stock authorized to be L-jed under the charter. There was one fact in the proposed plan of operations to which he would point the attention of stockholders, and that was, that the road would commence

A letter frori Milan in the Loudon Times says, "I am convinced that the patriotic ardor of the women of Milan was the exciting cause of the revolution, as their detestation of the Austrians knew no bounds ; and father, " husband, son, or lover were valued in proportion to their partaking of that sentiment." The immediale cause of the insurrection is thus slated by the same correspondent. . -I believe the audacity of a boy not more than 16 yeara old, was the immediate cause of the revolution at Milan. I have heard many explanations of the origin of the revolt i but I am now convinced that though a low might have taken place on many other grounds, it was the courage or insoleuce of that youth which et Iba people in motion, and produced the capture of the Vice Piesident O'Docoell.aod the planting of the tri-color flag on the palace of the government When the Milanese were made aware of the agitation at Vienna by the publication of a telegiahic despatch, and of tie promise given by the Empcior, that the liberty of the press and other constitutional favors would be granted at a period not later than 3rd of July, they flocked io great nurnbeia to I ha government bouse, in the Borgo Monfoite, near the bastions, and demanded, in loud ciies, irm, to funn a uational guard. This was about uoon on Saturday the 18th March, and I believe the podesta or mayor of the city was either a party to the movement, or that be indirectly gave it bis sanction! The guard on duty at the palace, alarmed at the violence of the crowed, fired oue discharge, as some assert, above the

heads and not at the people in fact, no one was wounded

and an impresion waa made which, had the discharge been repeated, would have aent the multitude to the right about i but at tbe moment of wavering, the youth I allude to drew out a pistol and fired at the soldieiy, exclaiming at the tame moment, 'Vive Pllalia. The shot and ibe ciy bad a magical . effect; tbe ciowd rushed forward, and in one moment, the guard was overpowered, 0'Dont.ell made prisoner, and the tri-color banner planted on tbe balcony of tbe hotel. Infamous Pomct. The New York Star has the following: "We learn from Washington that an important diplomatic coirespondenc ba been opened with the British government, in relation to Yucatan and Central America. Eng

lish ageuts in Honduraa are charged with having furnished arms and munitions of war to tbe Indians of Yucatan, now engaged in the destruction of tbe white inhabitants, with a view to the massacre of tbe whole Spanish lace, and the annexation of Yucatan to British Honduras." The Star does not vouch for the truth of this most grave charge. If it has a just foundation, compared with what Commodore Terry lately wrote the Navy Department as the deplorable state of things iu Yucatan,

it displays a moet infamous, double-dealing policy on the part of Great Britain, to further her schemes of territorial aggrandizement. If English agents really did excite the Indians to insurrection, it would appear by the following from Commodore Terry that it was done only with the view of compelling the Yucatan Government to purchase their assistance ty the grant of the coveted territory. The thing is almost too infamous for belief. The Commodore says: "The Freuen Consul expresses the opinion that England

Wooster Bank. Before the final bursting up of this thieving concern, we repeatedly, from time to time, continued the people to be wary of it. The same is true of the Democratic papers of Ohio. On the contrary the whig papers defended the rotten concern, and told the people continually that the Bank was perfectly safe, and that tbe "red mouth locofocos" were guilty of slander in assailing so pure a concern. Now, however, the bank having blown up and cheated somebody out of half .a million of dollars, these same honest whig papers tum right about and denounce it as "a locofoco concern," as they usually do

in such cases ; and they attempt to make out the case by another false assertion that the Bank was chartered by a locofoco legislature. On this subject, we have the

following among many similar articles from-the Democratic papers in Ohio, fully establishing the menda

assistance of four renegade democrats, to-wit:

Armstrong, Johnson, Miller, and Lahm. The read

ers of the Empire will remember these four Senators

were severely anathematized in this paper for their

defection, as well as in most of the Democratic papers

in Ohio. Yet now when this Bank, like all others,

has reached its catastrophe by exploding, we hear it called by some, whose ignorance does not excuse them,

a mere Locofoco concern ! The fact is, as the States

man conclusively shows from the legislative records.

that the democrats in the Senate (except the four

above mentioned,) made every effort in their power

to protect the people aijainst loss from it. In these

efforts they failed. The consequences are upon us.

The truth of the saying that "there are no Sabbaths in revolutionary times," is exemplified in France. Sunday was the day set apart by the Fiench Provisional Government for the election of members of the New National Assembly, that it is to formally organize and establish a Government. The selection of

Sunday shows a striking difference in sentiment be

tween t ranee and this country in which an election would be regarded as a gross desecration of the Sabbath. In France the election was doubtless regarded as a high and solemn duty, for the performance of which the day set aparlas holy time, was considered most appropriate.
