Besides these journals, there were others, of which Brissot, Tallien, Royon, Suleau, Andre Chénier, and Collot @’Herbois, were the mainsprings, while other poli- tical aspirants concentrated their energies on the “ Journaux affiches,” placarded on every available post, wall, and house in the capital.

New York, Thursday, July 10, 1851, Telegraphic Summary—Final Passage of the Canal Bill. The long agony is over. The Canal bill passed the Assembly yesterday, by a vote of eighty-one to thirty-six. It will no doubt receive the Governor's signature, and become a law, in double quick time. A number of democrats entered their protest against its passage, but to no purpose, as they might have expected. Among the bills passed by the Senate, are the Dill abolishing tolls on railroads, and the bill re funding moneys paid by consignees of emigrants | under protest, and in pursuance of a law which has | been pronounced unconstitutional; also, the College bill, which gives an appropriation to the mixed college of McGrawville, of quite a handsome sum. ‘The alleged fraud on the government, about which s0 much has been said recently, is as obscure asever. There have been so many contradictory reports concerning it, that we shall wait for more light before forming any opinion on the subject. We learn from Washington, that Mr. Webster will leave Annapolis, Maryland, on Monday next, for New York, and will proceed to Marshfield, | where, it is expected, he will deliver a speech on the questions of the day, to his friends and neigh- | bors. This will be number two of his Marshfield speeches; but wo doubt if it will be as important as | namber one, on account of his having made so many recently. the First and Last fon. By the last mail from Europe, it is announced that Aristide Ollivier, the editor of Suffrage Universal, | hes been killed in a duel, by Gineston, one of the | journalists of L’Echo du Midi, who has been | wounded, also, it is eaid, mortally. Here is a type | of the fact that the French newspaper press bas not advanced out of the pale of individual selfishness, ince the first revolution, when blood and massacre sprang from the passions which were the dreaiful manifestations ofthat epoch. Yet, in the face of sucha fact as this recent duel, we are aware that there are French journalists who will contend for the superiority of Parisian journalism over that of Lon- don and of New York, and who will struggle to ex- cite admiration for that literature of the selfish pas- sions which distinguishes the French press from the practical, moral, law: loving and law-abiding litera- ture of the English and the American journals. Recently, we intimated, in taking a general sur- vey of the character of the French prees, the injuri- ous tendencies of the Parisiax journals with regard to the cause of popular liberty and the establish- ment of a liberal and enlightened government, and, by a series of argumentative illustrations, aimed to show, plainly and conclusively, that the journals of Paris are wanting in the ve y first elements which ean make newspapers usefal to society and to the derer, with the curses of every daughter and mother in France.” The inetinct of some of the smallest and most in- significant animals affords aeep contemplation for the most acute and subtle philosophy; but how much greater is the instinct of a vast multitude, awakened from the lethargy thrown over it by the perverted ntetlects of those who would sacrifice the happiness ef millions, to the chance success of individual hu- man pride and cultivated personal vanity! France, in its first revolution, exhibited a terrible instance of the retributive justice deals out by a people trifled with, as though they were heathenish idiots of the State, and incapable of self protection and self-preservation. The press of the first revolution, powerful to lead parties into the maelstrom of vice, licentiousness, and illegal liberty, had no power to e itself, or its directors, when the conflicting tides made the vortex most potent and dangerous. The very men who had cajoled others to tempt the terrors of turbulence, and to bathe in the blood of innocence, as a baptism of purification from poli- tical sins, were among the first to fall victims to the very ordeal which they themselves had set up- They bad used a power which they little under- stood—and which their descendants have not learned properly to control, for the good of the people and the state—till they made an elemental war which they could neither explain nor terminate, and wkich was explained and terminated only in their own destructicn. And all this waa only a little more than half a century ago. Can it be believed? Or, rather, have we any reason to believe that the French newspaper | press to-day, is conducted with any more safety for | those who guide it, than in 17942 Has not every editor, to-day, in Paris, bis parallel in the history of the press of the first revolution ? Where is the jour- nalist who is sacrificing personal ambition for the | good of the people and the republic? Where is the journalist who does not aspire to honors in the State? | Where is he who does not hope by his press to advance from his editorial bureau to some bureau in the departments ofthe government ? The an’ wer is in the men of Paris, at the head of the public jour- nals—in their selfishness, and in their dangerous and deceitful theories, upon which they predicate the hap piness of their countrymen. If they cannot improve by the examples set in England and the United | States, we shall not wonder if some real patriot | in France should desire to exclaim with the old Go- | vernor of Virginia, in 1670, Sir William Berkley « | thank God there is no free schools nor printing | and I hope we sball not have these hundred years, for | learning has brought disobedience, and heresy, aad | sects into the world, and printing bas divulged them | and libels inst the best government. God keep | us from both!” Such an exclamation might be de- | sired, very naturally, by an honest and patriotic citizen of France, when he bebolds all the gigantic machinery of the press there, diverted from its trae mission, and converted into instruments for the ele- vation of individual ambition, and for the advance- ment inthe State of some petty political clique, whose greatest pcwer is that of the scorpion—to inflict death upon itself.

On the whole, it is, perhaps, as fair an apportionment as could be expected from the action of a party in the Legislature. The democrats have -or a leng time had the control of this matter of | districting the State for members of Congress, once inten years, when the United States census has been taken; and it is but fair that the whigsshould have their turn now. The mutability of politics is so great in this State, that it has been difficult for party leaders to fores2e the course of events for a period of even four years; 80 that the whigs may be disappointed with regard to the present aspect of politics in the Congres- sional districts, as they have carved them—to suit themeely. It would not be surprising if the Seward whig interest, now prevailing in the State, should be enabled, by bargains with the anti-renters and abolitionists, to carry two-thirds or more of the members of Congress to which the State is entitled, at the next election. But the present condition of things cannot be expected to last long, and we may find it more difficult than ever to calculate future political events . Marine Affairs.

Edward Sandford, Baq., of thie: city, is the trustee of the bondholders, which {# sufficient guaranty of the faithful performance of that pant of the: contract. It was proposed, in the Senate of this State, by way of an amendment to that section of the “Nine Million: Cenal bil’? which makes the scrip issued under that bill receivable by the Comptroller as security for cir- culating notes, that notes so issued shouitl have en- grossed upon them ‘secured by canal revenue cex tificates,” in whole or in part, as the fact may be. The proporition was of course defeated. Under the Free Banking law of this State, the Comptroller is required to» have inscribed upon the bills, countersigned at the bank~ ing department, the words “secured by State stocks,” i¢ the basis of the issue is the stocks of this State, anz “secured by stocks and mortgages,” if such isthe mixed. basis of circulation; and the object of the amendment Proposed was simply to carry out the system bygiving the currency its proper designation. Weare a little curiousto see what will be the result of this. There must be fraud. scmewhere. If the bills issued on the basis of the “eana), revenue certificates” as security are marked “secured? by State stocks,” it will be a false representation, and fraud in the most favorable light it can be viewed. The- “Nine Million Loan Canal bill’? was conceived in in- iquity. and corruption will mark its course throughout. Itisa mean, contemptible scheme, arranged by a few> political financiers, to thrust their hands into the public treasury. and they found pliant tools enough to perfoct: and carry out the plan, The Attorney General of the: State must act in this affair. He ean do so oonstitution- ally, and the object these financiering log islators have ir» view can be frustrated, and the affair nipped in the bud. It is the duty of the Attorney General to bring” this matter before the highest court of the State, snd bave its constitutionality settled at oues, Before the first step can be taken by the government to~ put forth such an illegal, unguarantied security, an injunction must be rerved upon them, and arrest: the whole movement. It is argued, that thé Attorney General is employed to prosecute for and defend the State in all suits, and that he is the legal adviser and counsel of the government. This is all true enoagh, so far as it gces, when the suit is by the State, for the State, inthe name of the State. The Legislature is not the whole of the State government, and the other depar:- ments have full right to have the constitutionality of any act of the Legislature tested. The Attorney Gene- ral bas such aright, and we trust he will use it, It wit be asked who is to defend the State in the proposed suit? In answer to this, we will say that the suit is not against the State, but against those officers or others who at- tempt to execute the law, and those who are sued wil? Jook out for their defence. We doubt if the law intend- ed to restrain the Attorney General will deter him frou his duty in this matter. as that law is just as unconsti- tutional as the Canal bill itself, There is a fiaed deter- mination on the part of the Legislature to put this in- iquiteus measure through, at any and every sacrifice With respect tothe time that the new issue of certifi. cates and the bank notes founded thereon, is to be made, adopting the sententious and brief language of another, grammar and all, we would ask, “Zs those bundy ready? * ‘The Auditcr of the State of Ohio gives the annexed condensed statement of the condition of the banks of that State on the first day of May, 1861, compiled from official returns made to his department, There are twelve independent banks, forty-one branches of State bank, and five old banks.
