There is another thing to be effected by this movement. There is ao other way of reaching the corruption, and folly, aud treason, of both of the old parties, than by the independ: merchants, mechanies, and manufacturers of thiy great city, taking strong and positive gronad ia favor of national sures and principles, aad ally to both mea and parties. yhat next isto bedoae? Will the geatle- men who have moved in this matter, nomiaate a new ticket of their own ? or wili they form a ticket compoced of candidates seleeted from the nomi- nees of the two old parties? Thia practicel pir? , ofthe movement will probably be left to their owa inteHligence, wiedom and patriotism. Daring the discussions and debates in the last Congress, which involved the fate of measures on which the perma- pence of the union depeaded, the two Senatord from this State, respectively, took opposing grounds. The demagogue, Seward, was opposed to all compromise, all union, all settlement of the slavery agitation, aud ia favor of continuing | it, even at the risk, if not with the certainty, | of dissoletion, Mr. Dickinson, on the other hand, took a widely different course, aad showed himeelf to be am able and efficient de- fender of all measures on which the union of this | regublie depended, and was opposed to all agitatioa, ashe stillis. Every intelligent person engaged in | this moverent can easily perceive which of these two men has acted most in accordance with the constitution, aud has favored most the interests of | the great city ead State. Ia the approaching elec- | tion this will be one of the principal practical ques- tions before the people, and we have no doubt that | every intelligent man, here and elsewhere, | will deposite his vote either ffor the whole demo- | cratie ticket or for a mixed ticket, containing ean- didates from both of the old party tickets, so as to convince the whole Union that New York is op- | posed to agitation, ism favor of peace and har- | mooy, end against all measures that directly tend | to the shedding of fraternal blood—to civil war, | with all its attendant horrors—and to the ultimate | and certain destruction of the Union and the con. | | stitction.

Tn the first origin, the early progress, the full growth, and the final decay of goveramen’s aad ggtions, the same law prevails, which uw r trace in the processes of th® material uni- verse. The animal and vegetable kingdorns pass through the seme stages, from ineeption todecom- position, Which govern the progress and dissolution of States. It is evident from ail concurring sigas, that movarehy, which has now flourished in Ba- rope for upwards of @ thousand, years, has passed its period of vitality, ead is rapidly approaching its fina! dissolution. In France the work is doue. [a Germany it will be soon over. With this view, jetjus glance aeross the water, aud see what i coming. The volcanic explosion of 1343, has passed, Tt was followed by a deadly calm, which, in bodies politic, like the natural world, succeeds violent excifements. Fugitive kings are no loager Tushing into exile from the olast of revolution—the gleam of burnished bayonets again flashes from serried ranks of standing armies in time of peace, and the form of throaes is once more sustained by bristling cannon, while all mea feel that their sab- stance is passing away. Aud yet, with all the ap- pearances of tranquillity which are visible in Evorpe, one great fact is every day becoming plainer end more palpable to the eye of the far-seeing It is, that the old Continent is lawach- ed upon the stream of progress, as well as our wa couniry; that the very same elements | are at work in Europe whiyh have already wrought out the present system in the United States; that whatever may be the appearance of the surface, with ifs counter eddies, the main drift of the, stream is onward; and that it is moving with irresistible force. Europe is approaching demo- racy. To make up an intelligent estimate of the fature of Eurepe, we must contemplate, however, certain | external signs, as well as certain inevitable pria- ciples—and these are not wanting. We shall say little of the recent aspects of the war betweea the Danes and the Schleswig Holsteiners—for no de- cisive victory has been woa on either side, and | had there been, it would not probably have changed the general course of European affairs. It is not a matter of much momeat that the Elector of Hesee Cassel has fled from the indignant rage | of his offended subjects, or that there are signs of discontent in other portions of Germany. We will not now even glaace at the iahamin butcher ies of the beastly tyrant of Naples, who has crowd- ed his dungeons with the best mea ot his State, and slaughtered his thousands in cold blood. All these things are but specific facts, whieh might be ac- counted for ingeniously by local cireumstences. | Bat it is eaough for our purposes to remark that they all indicate a tendency which is irresistible— irresistible. And that tendency is towards pro- gress—amelioration—something better, and better suited to the new wants, espirations and hopes of the men of the present age. We therefore leave the broad field of Europe, and come at once to France and her President, Louis Nopoleon. It has grown into a proverb since the ume of Bonaparte, that he who kaows | what France will do, can tell what will be done ia Europe. Her frontiers touch those of maay of the European St.tes—her diplomacy has always been subdue. But now does Europe watch her with the most vigilant solicitude, for she is a republic, leading the van of democracy, and consequently something for monarchies to dread. But above all, isshe to be feared becanse the gleam of five hundred thousand Frenoh bayonets flashes in the eun-light every twenty-four hours. Aad Europe has Jong ago leamed what bayonets are in the hauds of Frenchmen. What, then, is France now, with her subtle di. | plomacy, her military (ame, her 500,000 bayonets, her republic, and her Louis Napoleon, to dot This ne question which will go so far towards de- viding the fate of Europe. In @ word, then, there seems to be but one opi- pion on one point, viz: that Louis Napoleon had disappointed the expectations of the world when he beceme President of France. Some thought he would run @ short race of usurpation, and be soon overthrown— some, that he would be tolerated by al! parties until Prance reverted back to monarchy some, that by a revolution, one of the priaces of the cider Bourbons would be restored to the throac cf his fathers; while the prospect afew months ago seemed to favor the idea that Prince de Joia ville, who has always been popular among the Freach people, would be elected Napoleon’s suc- cessor Bat doubts are now being cleared away, and the real character of Louis Napoleon 13 beginning to thow itself. He has been growing stronger ever since bis elevation; and he is wow popular. With tome unimportant exceptions, he has been received with unexpected favor and enthusiasm in the de- paruneuts where he has recently travelled ; and he has shown himeeif, face to face, to probably not less than eight or ten millions of the French | people. lie is popular with the army, who love him for his very wame. He is more popular still with the navy, since the unequivocal display of his feelings at the magniticent maritime féte of Cher- bourg, where he coace ted the best portion of the French navy, sod geve it a chance to display its ecience,—took fraternally the hands of six hun- dred officers, and thereby electritied France with the new-born ambition of lifting herself, at lest, from the humiliations of Nelson's victoriés, aad unferling her tri-color‘once more on the ecean, ia rivalry with the fleets of England. That splen national féte taught France a creat lesson; for her tuperb steam frigates were brought together, and the saw that she might easily rival Eoglaad ina steam navy, when she could spe to had seamen to man and man@uvre heavy live-of-battle ships, Louis Napoleon knows that Frenchmen are as good, if not better, engineers than Eoglishmen; and good engineers and brave commanders cca make an ine vineible steam navy. He knows that France can build as many stekm frigates as Eng! ond, and he may yet humble her haughty naval supremacy. He ie, besides, to all appearances, popular with the mass of his countrymen. Uarer hira has been done what nobody believed possible. For nearly iwe years France has reposed ia comparative tran- quillity. Agriculture, manufactures, commerce, a | end the arts, have flourished. The French repab- lic is reepected by all Europe. No ominous signs are lowering over the fature just now. And what does all this bespeak, unless it be either a growmg confidence in the French President, or the death of monarchy in Frence? But alihough there are no alarming sigos now visible in France, yet it is fast becoming inevitable, that the constitution of 1843 will be coon changed. Already, nearly four-fifths of the departments of France have expressed, through their CouncileGeneral, a desire for the re- vision of the constitution, and nobody doubts it will be done. The factis, as the London Tunes says, there is no political party in France to whom the present constitution is absolutely ac- ceptable. Legitimists do not like it, for its continuance is destructive to their hopes of a Bourbon restoration. Real republicans have al- ready tried to overturn it by force of arma; and the Bonepartists have always looked mpon it only a8 a stepping-stone for a hizher dignity and power for their chief leader. The great body of Frenchmen, too, dislike it; for they do not know precisely what they do want. The upshot of it all, then, eeems to be that the constitution will be changed. It eeeime, also, that the general impression now in France is, that Louis Napoleon stands the fairest chanes of far- ther elevation. All the recent appearances drift in this direction; and if France were asked to elect to-day @ Prince, or President for life, Louis Napoleon might be the man. And there is little doubt that Europe would favorit. England and all the great powers are tired of fighting for the Seeman ees cess to let legitimacy go by ‘rance. No more blood or treasure will be spent in trying to restore their lost honors. All parties seem to favor the present state of feeling in France; and | certainly the policy of Louis Napoleoa shows manegement, and ability for govegament. ‘The future, then, looks fair for the French Presi- dent just now. He may not enly consolidate his pewer, but he may immortalize his fame, if his policy coincides with the course of events. He may not win the glory of his umcie in the field; but he may ec ipse him in the cabinet. He may not have so th ing, nor so brilliamt an arena as Waehington had; but he may do for France, in this new, excited, electric age, what Washington did for this country in the stein struggles of her in. faney. With the pre stige and the associations of the Napoleon name—with two years of successful ad- ministration—with peace, and a good understand- wg With all foreiga powers—with the telegraph, the daity press, and the steam engine—with the irresistable, ou-rushing progress of the humin race towards the future— with a gallant army of halfa million of men—with a clear perception of the ten- dency of the ege, and, above all, with a noble, generous, enlightened, and patriotic determination to nvike France as happy and prosperous as she iy now brave and powerful, Louis Napoleon may wnite his name among the most enlightened and segacious of statesmen, and the best of men. But poor Louis Napoleon is in the hands of fate. He will be kept up just as long as he suits his ac- tion to the prevailing course of events. No man is strong enough to guide events in 1850. The mil- lion are thinking, in 1850, even in Europe ; snd men will no longer sustain a man who does not carry out their ideas. Washington kept up to the ast, because he embodied the spirit and executed he ideas of his countrymen. Even Napoleon had © bend to the power of the spirit of his age. When he went back to monarchy, the people, who could not be arrested in their progress ef democracy, lef: him to perish. Lamertine did weil enough for awhile—he was the embodiment of the new revo- lution ; but he launched France too far—they could not keep up with him. They soon get tired of Cavaignac, for he restrained them too much. The extreme radicals took up arms to overthrow him, while the other extreme party wanted to pat him down, since he stood ia the way of legitimacy and the Bourbons Finally, came Louis Napoleon. Like his pre- decessors, he was fixed on as one believed quatified to carry out the ideas of the people. If he -woald live in power, tet him only try to fulfil the mission for which Providence brought him forward. The moment he or any other man opposes the spirit of his age, he fulis. Wrance can’t go back. Old monarchy is dead there. She must go forward; bat she is not quite ready, we fear, foran American democracy. We recommend her to go by degrees, like chil- dren learaing to walk, or our friend, Col. Webb, in taking his first lessons in biench from Haynan —take the little words firsi—begia ia Easy Les- seas. Let her then elect a President and Assem- bly for a month; and if this works welt, try it next time for two months, then for six, and then for a year, and graduelty for two, and finally for four years, afier our style. She might then gradually work herse!f into the Washiagtonion harness, and draw steadily in our great team. Let her think of this, and not be discouraged. She started right in her first revolution. She had only eleven constitutions from ’89to Napoleon. How many will it take now, from Lamartine to a ge- puine, consolidated, Washiagtoaian repudlic? Not more than a dozen—perhaps not half that number. Try it, Fraace—don’t be discouraged. You have our example—it took us seven years of hard light- ing—you have fought only a day or two. Tt cost us six years more of bickerings end councillings to get the constitution of *89—you got yours in a few monthe—you have held together remarkably well ever since, and God only kaows if we can do that, even sow, after seventy years of experience ! Allons—Cuwrage--Vive la République! Raxewep Rumoas ov a Cunan Exexprtion.—One of our correspondents at Washington has started afresh the rumor of a projected invasion of Cuba, on a larger scale than that which failed when Lopez led precipitately from Cardenas. We are not disposed, however, to believe these reperts of he great preparations in progress—though we have no doubt that there are stilia number of adven- turers in the United States, who, ander the plea of patriotism and projected revolutions, are able to raw money enovgh from the Cuban planters in is country to supply their immediate wants. So far as we can ascertain, these adventurers, seut~ | tered here and there throaghout the country, are | im the habit of representing that, with certain as- | sistance, they can succeed in reisimg an invading my to carry on the work of revolution. Ocea- sions ere nemed when the onset is to be made, but when these periods arrive more money is required, ard thus the simple miaded planters are indaced to rt with their money to eupporta class of idle _echemere and adventurers, who laugh at the case with which their vietims are duped. The whole thing is an imposition. | We do not entertain the slightest apprehension of another invasion of Cuba. We should as soon expect the United States to be concerned ia an- ; other battle of Slievegammon. The whole affair | js concocted by adventurers, who find it personally profitable to establish ramors of revolution, that | they may draw supplies euflicient to support the ain | thear lezy extravagance. The treth is, that » all those who could be induced to join s@wild and adventure have bee» lured to Colifornia, where they have, in mi cases, laid their own by the gold dust of that remarkably inviting region, and every month, hundreds still take the same course, going to the Pacifie shore to dig gold, or their owa graves, as may fortunately or unfortuaately hap- peu. It is absurd, therefore, to suppose that we have any population io the United States so mad 8 to jweditate, much less tu enter into, any active alliance against Cuba. It is all moonshine. ! et Mas.

A few days ago, in a car on one of the rail- roads, uot a little evriosity was excited by the appearance and inquiries of a very gentlemanly and intellectual individual, who permitted nothing to eseape his observation. Inquisitiveness is said to be confined to the race of Yankees; but this gentiewan distanced all competition, in the way of inquiring about this, and that, and the other— about railroads, and villages, and manufactories, and manners, not even forgetting politics, in which he was evidently deeply interested. His conversation was very remarkable. The fashion- able modern languages were at the end of his tongue, ead he was apparently well calculated to draw very marked inferences between the ap- pearance of society here and in the countries of Europe. The ladies were charmed with his un- conscious display of coemopolitan knowledge, and the men naturally were very much pleased to add to the stock of his informatien, by contributing any intelligence likely to interest him. Who is het? “ Who can he be?” “ What is he after ?” were the inquiries on every hand. [a fact, though we were the only one who knew who and what he is, yet we were satielied that his peculiar gifts and powers are such as ate likely to be very useful to those under whose euspices and encouragement he is moking his tour through this country. The gentieman thas intellectually marked, neede no further description, to be recognized by those who may have the pleasure of meeting with him. It ney be well, however, for our people to know that he has come to this country from one of the highest powers in Europe, on an important mission, with plenipotentiary privileges, to examiae our institutions, customs, manners, habits, polities, end probable destiny, and to report to those who have originated this highly importact embassy. The special agents of France, of Russia, of Aus- tria, or of His Imperial Highness, Abdul Medjid, are all distinguished men, whose reports to their governments are important, and may be very useful to mankind; but the reports of this distia- guished agent are far more to be respected for their results, ther all those emanating from the States of Europe. This gentleman is High Com- missioner for the Times newspaper of London—a | power inferior to mo other in the old world. He is empowered by thai ruler of the destinies of England to see, hear, examiae, infer, and comma- nicate anythiug and everything that may be worth knowing, with respect to the United States. la this respect, his position is more important than that of any of the diplomatic corps. Lord Pal- mereton is @ busy, meddling etateeman, who is de- termined to know hew to make the most for his in the United States; and the James Commissioner Will furnish him and the world with a perfect panorema ef our people, their business, their hopes, their desigas, their actions, aad their pro- bable tendencies in the great battle now jast com- mencing in the political arena. From this, the English Secretary for Foreign Affaire, who searches to weak powers, levying at will heavy duties on American goods, and doing other things equally sirange—even permitting hjs foreiga ministers to advise our goverament—this same secretary, Lord Palmerston, will be able te gather the proper views for his chances in the great diplomatic game to be carried on, upon the probable issue of our political strife and sectional jealousy and action. One very important end of the mission of the gen tleman from the High Printing Court of Europe, will be to ascertain how far the British mercantile classes may depend wpon absorbing the trade of the Southern section of the United States, in case of a disruption of the Union. He will inspect very closely each ofthe Southern States, study the character of the inhabitants, learn their disposition with respect to opening a trade with Great Britain, independent of the Northern ports, and will tied, probably, that the commercial interest of Eaglaad will be to leave the Northern States to their gra- nite hills, and stone-covered acres, and diemaatied cotton factories, and decaying warehouses, the wreck of early commercial prosperity, and the Jamentable cequel of felly, fanaticism and abolition. England hee a great gainto make out of the ruin of New Engled cotton factories. She eva afford to urge on any agitatioa that will level them with the dust, so that she may contiaue her systein of manufacturing cotton, uadiminished, watisturd- ed, warestricted. One blow strack by the South, as hes already been proposed, by defensively de- clatiog commercial intercourse with the Novth to be at an end, will make the cotton mills of Man- chester thrive again. All the relations of trade will charge. Eng!aad will get all she wants irom the coiton fields of the South, and we at the North, for the sake of an abolition ruler, shall be obliged to live upon depreciated and depreciating real estate, acommerce idle and unemployed, and with a prospect of a pepalation more then decimated by emigration into the Southern States. The Simes Commissioner will not fail to perceive the great changes aboutto take place, unless the people, at once, manfully, nationally, and indepen- dent of potty, in the earnest supremacy of their undoubted power, crush the Catalines of the con- federacy, and restore the Unien to its wonted har- mony, by the exercise of the franchise. We shall hope, to the last, for the best; bat cannot conceal the belief that the strife for office and the spoils of government are such perils to patriotism, that we are in denger of being overthrown by an insane agitati Before the Times Commissioner has teen the end of the struggle, we hope that he will find in thie couatry an elevated conservative pow- er in the people, capable of successfully resisting the encroachments of designing politicions, who would sustain their own ambition at the expense of the Usion. ‘The Times Commissioner should have every fa- cility for learning the exact state of public feeling. He can be easily discovered wherever he goes. A gentleman in the largest sense of the word, he will find all parties ready to communicate information whenever it may be desired; and though he will haye a very difficult task to discover what the peo be able to turn to fable ine we shall always be ready ts ae cog ia Sa that a task to wind up the wih this country, Americen ships, and seizes upon towns belonging | country, out of any quarrels or internal commotions | Dist, tenet ot et even at ieee Sad aaa Avsictwot.
