To conduct it in that manner, he and his eabinet must carefully avoid all sectionism, all iso- lated ideas and disturbing priaciples, and ideatify themselves with nothing but broad, general and | comprehensive legisiation, having in view the well- | being of the whole ountry—or our whole family of States—and not to hat of a part, or ofa single State orsection of Sta es. It wasa broad, comprehensive and generous +ystem of legislation and of principle, that was the secret of the success of the democra- tie party. That party never identified itself with apy sectional quarrel, or abstract theory ia morals or politics. At the present tine the whig party are partially divided on the isms which a Seward and a Greeley have tacked to its tail. ‘Those isms and | fallacies must be avoided by the new administratioa, | if Mr. Fillmore and bis cabinet desire that they or the whig party shall remain in power. They have | now an opportunity to disprove the charge so often , made against them by their opponents, that | the whigs, as a party, are incapable of manag- | ing, in a proper manner, the affairs of the | country. By taking this course, the whigs may re- | tain control of the government for an iodetinite pe- | riod; but as sure as they adopt a contrary poli- ' ey, so sure will they tottle and fall. We need but ref..r to the past history of the w! party in eon- firmation of what we say. The game is in their hands, end on the manner in which they play it depends the onccess of the present administration | and that of the whig party, for, perhaps, a quarter | of acentury to cone. Within the recess of Gon- | gtess Mr. Fillmore wil! have abundance of time to regulate his policy and ing his plans for the future. Wuart Tra Lasr Srave- Gis —Whatever may be the final reselt of the year of revolutions—the n y which 1848 will here- after be known in th of Europe--the poli+ | tical and religious changes which have taken place in Italy will always constitute one of the most in- | teresting features of that annus mrrabilis., It has been the opinion of the mest keen-sighted states- mep, Ukat no movement ever made in the cause of hnman freedom is ultimately lost. There are very few men now living who will deny the ali but uni- versally conceded principle, tuat progress ia the law of nations. Although men may be sacrificed, and sometimes governinents, institutions, and nations themeelyce, be blotted out; yet, in great strug gle for advancement and democracy, there can be no other result at last than the tiumph of the great masses. In past ages, collossal military power has temporarily smothered, for the most part, liberal yet the hes aow come when 3 have ne too strong for the ¥ was Gal { be kings ean no loager defy the opinions of their subjects. Althovgh the year 1819 witneesed the overthrow | bayonet, and of almost every eflort undertakea the year before | in the cause of democracy in Europe, yet there are countries where victory followed battle, and the triumph was decisive. The receat arrivals from Europe go to illustrate this point most empha- ically, but more strikingly than in ail other ia- stances, perhaps, in that «f Sardinia. | movement in Italy, w | 1848, began in the city of Genoa. That town had | for ages been the capi of a great, and, at one ; time, the most powerful republic in the world. | The seed w ‘ eprang up quicker from the earth than any | other portion ef the peninsula. Charles Al- | bert was a fechle but extraordinary prince.

It will be in vain that Pius issues his bulls of excommunication against the Sardinian king, his parliament, or his people. They have achieved their independence of Austria, and of the political power of the papacy. The battle hasbeen fought there nobly, and the victory is complete. Ta the new constitution of Sardinia, there is a clause whieh is emineutly liberal, end yet conser- vative im its tendency. The elective franchise is granted to all subjecta who can read and write, and to none others. At the same time, a liberal pro- vision is made by the government for the education of the people. Neo nation in Europe is advancing with such rapidity on the road to political, religious end imtellectual independence. The Sardinian parliament seems to have comprehended two things clearly, and gone boldly to their execu- tion: first, that the time has come when a State, to act unshackled and free, must throw off the ia- oubus of ecclesiastical dictation; secondly, that no sure, permanent, and unfailing foundation for ibe" | tal institutions can be laid except in the education of the mess of the people. If all Europe can appre- hend clearly these faets, and as boldly march for- ward to their execution, the other side of the | Adaantie will ultimately achieve, with success, the great experiment which we have so efficiently wrought out here, viz., of establishing the fair, graceful, and enduring fabric of democratie liberty, upon the foundations of efleie degpotism.
