At the conclusion of Walsh’s speech, General Cazneau was presented with a handsome gold badge set with pearls, the offering of the Lafayette Guard. “Cazneau tesponded in an -appropriate manner. He was followed by M.

I hardly think this, to be the cause, though perhaps that fact may have some inflaenee among the French sympathisers, Can it be ‘because of the religious sentiment of the belligerants? France you know is Catholic ; Prussia Protestant. I hardly . think that this is the cause,for I find men not Catholics who sympathise with France. How will this question effect the poli tics of our State ? A few days ago I heard a very important (?) personage of the: Irish persaa-. sion say, “If the Democratic party don’t stand up for Louis ‘Napoleon ‘and: the . one-will never vote with that party again ;” and shortly aftei ward, having related the foregoing to a party of Germans, they answered, “If the Demo‘eratic party. do.stand.up for, and take sides-with France, against Germany, it may coulit us ont.” This. is placing the Democratic party. between two extremes. .It matters not which hora, of the dilemma they attempt to blow they
must be losers. If they blowfor Louis Napoleon, they will lose their “back: -bone—the Irish: It they blow for King William they will lose their stomachs— the Germans: Whliata pity!
