"Thi* world i« all fleelinjmhow For min'i illusion given." So sung Tom Moore, and no man's life ever afforded a stronger comment on the text, than that of Moore himself, unless it be the history

President Pierce. The world is full of "illusion.V'and disappointments. Expectationsonce brilliant turn out the merest ashes and on the other hand, principles and men, at one time unknown, or known only to be despised, become at length the rallying point of the people's hope, and the admiration of the world.— Tom Moore began life, a youth of sparkling genius—rose rapidly in fame hob-a-nobbed with lords, and got drunk with dukes was cheered in theatres, and had applause from unknown lips as lie walked the crowded streets

verses that would have won hiin the prize at the Festival of Bacchus in old Rome, and then indited psalms that are yet sung in the churches wherever the English language Is spoken. After a life of unexampled devotion to pleasure, ho died a senseless idiot.

But wc intended to say something about President Pierce and the "illusions" that seem to cluster around his career. His efforts to gain name, seem to have, been headed off in every .direction. His fame in his own State, was on.jlyofa negative character, as the head of an ^opposition clique. His military career was unfortunate, and reached only to an "honorable ^mention" in the report of the commander-in-chief. Ilis avowal of frec-soilism, when in the

State constitutional Convention, Jan. 1st 1852, he said, "I would take the ground of the nonextension of slavery—that slavery should not become stronger and when he asked on the same occasion, "what single thing is there connected with slavery that is not obnoxious?" nearly lost him the confidence of the South, before the election. And now that lie is in the 'White House—place is not fame—he finds himself under the necessity of manufacturing

rthc

foundation of a public character—instead of having one matured and tried, before going there, on which he could repose with dignity and confidence. From the bottom of our.heart —without figure, and without irony—we pity him, for wo doubt not some of his wrong conelusions, and humiliating contradictions, result from the fact that he does not know what to do, and is therefore constantly doing just the wrong thing, like a skittish horse, which frightened at the motion of the planks on one sido of the bridge and is in danger of running off the other, till the same object of fear drives him back to the opposite extreme. Let us look at one illustration. Speaking of the comproiniso of IS50, the President in his message, last December, said: "It is no part of my purpose to give prominence to any subject, which* may properly be regarded as set at rest, by the deliberate judgment of the people. 1 hat this repose is to suffer no shock dnring my officinl term, if 1 can avert it, those who placed me here mny be assured."

Within three months after writing the above voluntary pledge to the whole American people, we find him not wiily lending the sanction of the name of the "administration to a cchemo which is agitating the Republic to its very foundations, but personally busy in advancing it. Yet we do him tno justice to believe that this task is abhorrent to his real, personal, private inelinatons. have no doubt of it. And the solution of the inconsistency is to be found in the foreshadowed hint, above— "if I have power to avert it." He has not had power to avert it—for Douglas is stronger than he, and has led him captive at his will.

CoxsinKUKP DEATK—On the 31 st day ot the present month, Sir John Franklin and the crews oT both his ships are to be considered as dead, according to a decree of the British government. In mentioning this fact, the U. S. Gazette relates the case of Lu Bonneville, who, upon returning from a long visit to the Rocky Mountains, found himself dead on the books of the Adjutant General's offico at Washington, and others promoted over him. The officials were in great trouble, and didn't know how to get over the record, when President Jacksont who was araan of www civil courage, drew his pen through the lying obituary and restored the gallant Lieutenant to life, to his rights and his back pay

fr OJ* Mr. Waldo, a friend of the inventor of "•'he sewing-machine, stated before the Society of Arts, that the srails of the "Great Republic," spreading 28,000 yards of canvas, had been done in six days with the aid of the machine, by hands, that, without it, would have taken one thousand two hundred days for the aarao

States, in answer to a resolution of tlie Senate requesting a plan for the enlargement and modification of the judiciary system of the Union.

the election in that strong-hold of democracy shows that the party has been terribly shaken. If groat efforts, backed by the administration at Washington, had not been made to deceive the people into the belief that t.lic Nebraska question is not a govcrnniont measure, the smnll success, if it can be called success, would have been a signal overthrow.

By the way, we are not a little airtused at the manner in which the Stato Sentinel announces tho result of the election. All the wind in thnt Very ventose establishment seems to have been called into requisition, on this occasion, to blow the cracked trumpet of victory. But it gives a ludicrously "uncertain sound." It •says:

"The glorious democracy of thai Mountain State stood firm as their own everlasting hills, and have swept tho State, electing N. F. Martin Democrat, for Governor, by 1,000 majority. Tho Democracy of the Natiou will..emulate their example."'

Now it happens that N. F. Martin is not elected at all, and was not even a candidate but the Governor elect is

NAT. BAKEB,

who

came in by about 1400 instead of 4000 maj. The coalitionists will have quite a majority on joint ballot and will elect two U. S. Senators The Sentinel's report of tho name of the Governor is no farther out of the way tllftn tho fig ures by which it elected him.

Lord Raglan left London on the 25th for Paris in order to have an interview with Napoleon.

In the House of Lords on the 28th, Lord Aberdeen stated that a bill was to be introduced increasing the English militia force to 129,000 men, and raising 30,000 men in Scotland and 10,000 in Ireland.

Several small failures had been announced at Manchester' amongst them Mr. Vickers for £41,000.

The English force in the east is to be 30,000 men. A second detachment was preparing to embark.

It is rumored that the combined fleets at Spithead would be reviewed by Queen Victoria and the Emperor Napoleon prior to their departure for the Baltic.

Sir Charles Napier's appointmentto the commnnd of the fleet is considered as indicative of the most severe measures against Russia.

The defeat of the administration in New Hampshire is even more overwhelming than we supposed. From the present appearances it would seem that the opposition have the House of Representatives, and will have the control of the Legislature. Our returns do not, however, justify us in accepting the claims of the Concord Statesman to 156 members elected. We have returns from all the Slate with the exception of about twenty small towns, of which several have probably elected Whigs. According to our returns thus far the House stands:

Opposition members,. 145 Democrats 127 Among the latter are said to be included twelve of Burke's "Old Guard," who are hostile to the administration, and will not co operate with the Concord Regency. To the Senate six administration members have been elected, two Whigs and there are four vacancies.

In the returns we have from 178 towns, it appears that tho net Democratic loss as compared with last year is 3322!

This is a stunning and overwhelwing rebuke to the perfidious and treacherous administration. Will the conspirators at Washington listen to tho voice of the home of Franklin Pierce oil their breach of public faith ?—Bo$~ ton Atlas.

CONCORD,

N. H., March 16,1854.

The returns now hourly coining in give different complexion to the result of the election than was atyirst indicated. They show a whig and free-soil gain of 91 in the House over last year, thus wiping out the Democratic majority and leaving the opposition ahead.

The Utah chief, Walker, was preparing to give the Mormons battle, and as he has enlisted in his cause the Camanches and Apaches, a bloody struggle may be expected. He has sworn a war of extermination, and woe betide the Mormons who fall into his hands. The Mormons endeavored to make a treaty with him, but his demands were considered intolerant and they would not comply with them.— He required that they should build him a house as large as Governor Young's, on a prominence near the city,pay him a large sum of money, and furnish him with as many wives as their veritable Governor has. So far as the house and money were concerned the Mormons were willing to comply, but furnishing the wives was another matter, and here tho negotiations ceased.

The ArappshCBS, Cheyennes and Sioux are makifig preparations to exterminate the Pawnees in the spring. They express a determination to wipe out the entire tribe. Bloody Indian battles may therefore be expected soon.
