It is said there is a general expectation in Paris that the Emperor Napoleon will shortly declare in favor of liberal reforms, and that this, together with rumors of a large reduction in the French army, has had a cheerful in- fluence upon the public mind both in France and England. No living statesman knows better how to march with events or to turn them to account than Louis Napoleon. We have said, in our remarks upon the effects of the revolution in Spain, that he would be placed in the dilemma either to make an effort to repress the movement beyond the limits of the peninsula orto make concessions to it. Such a movement as that in Spain arouses with electric power the liberal sentiments of the people in Earope, and none feel it sooner or more powerfully than the French. We are not surprised, then, to hear that the astute. Napoleon contemplates liberal reforms in his empire, with a view to satisfy the aspirations raised by the Spanish revolution so as to ride safely through the storm. “If we glance at the policy of Napoleon through all the wars, revolutionary movements and changes in Europe since he ascended the throne we shall see that he has almost always placed himself at the helm and turned events to his own safety and the glory of France. He succeeds even in saving himself from his own errors or mistakes by a timely change of his course or policy to suit existing circumstances. A remarkable instance of his skill in this re- spect was seen in the adroit manner of his escape from the Mexican dilemma. Humili- ating as the fiasco of that scheme of establish- ing an empire in Mexico was, he managed to get out of it with admirable skill as soon as he saw the dangerous and untenable position he was fa. Shortly after Napoleon had squelched the revolutionary and insurrectionary movements in France, beginning in 1848, and had placed himself on the imperial throne, he formed a close alliance with England and dragged her into a war against Russia, By the success of that war in the Crimea he accomplished several great objects and made himself the foremost man of Europe. He curbed the ambitious projects of Russia and limited her power ia the East. In fact he setiled for a period the long vexed question of Russian dominancy in that part of the world and secured the independence and integrity of Tarkey. Ie acquired the cordial ailiance of England, the gratitude and friendship of Tur- key and the respect of Russia and the rest of Europe. French influence has been potential in thet part of the Kast ever since. All this flattered the pride of the French and gave stability to his government, It was a grand stroke of policy worthy of the greatest states- mao, The next important movement he made in adjusting the map of Europe, and, at the same time in curbing the revolutionists of Italy, was the war against Austria, In this he beeame the ally of Victor Emanuel, and at the battles before the Quadrilateral drove the Aus- trians from that part of Tialy and made the Tialian kingdom a power in Europe. While reducing the dominion and power of Austria he quenched the revolutionary fires in Italy and beyond, aud established a stronger monarchy across the Alps than had existed for ages. At one blow he suppressed the republicans, weakened Austria, enlarged and strengthened the Italian monarchy, changed the map of Southern Europe, made himself master of the Pope and acquired greater glory for France. Though he did not participate in the more recent war between Prussia and Italy on the one side and Austria on the other, he per- mitted Italy to seize Venetia and Prussia to destroy Austrian influence in Germany, He might have prevented this, but there would have been some risk in attempting to do so, and it was not the policy of France to see the Austrians any longer fn Italy, where their preseuce tended to stir up revolution at all times, If the results of that war were not such as he wished or expected as regards Prassia—if they went beyond the limits he desired in erecting too great a power in Germany—he has had the tact to keep out of a costly and dangerous war himself and to maintain the prestige of French influence in European affairs, At that period the map of Reconstruction in Spain, The work of the national regeneration of The Kellogg Concerts at the Academy of ‘Masic.

With regard to Spain wo shall find, proba- bly, that Napoleon has had more to do with the revolution and will have ia control- ling it than appears at present. At ali events, if it should go beyond his wishes he will know how to shape his policy, both at home and fn Spain, to suit the ciroumstances. He is not like the Bourbons, who learn nothiag by experience; nor like the stupid Bourbon politicians of this country, who cannot. adapt themselves to the changing times; but he moves with the age and inevitable events, hat he cannot prevent or avert he falls in ith and turns lo account, This is the high- est type of statesmanship and that which all the great statesmen of the day follow. We see it remarkably displayed throughout the whole history of Napoleon's reign; we see it in Bis- marck, Von Beust, of Austria; Disraeli and in all the leading men of the times. We shall not be surprised, then, as we said, if the Emperor makes the liberal reforms in France spoken of as ® necessary concession to the movement now going on in the Old World, and by that means perpetuates his power at home and over the affairs of Europe. Tuc Democratic Jonah. We must first tell of the Bible Jonah, Jonah the Prophet. The word of the Lord came to this Jonah to go down to the wicked city of Nineveh, ‘‘and cry against it, for their wicked- ness is come up before me.” But Jonah ran away and went down to Joppa, paid his fare and took passage on a ship bound for Tarshish. “But the Lord sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest,” and the mariners were frightened and began to pray each man to his god, and they lightened the ship by throwing the cargo overboard. But they found Jonah ‘down into the sides of the ship, and he lay and was fast asleep.” They roused him up and cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah. Then they cross-examined him, when he confessed to them that he was a carpet- bagger anda scalawag. ‘‘And he said unto them, take me up and cast mo forth into the sea; 80 shall the sea be calm unto you, for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.” But those were humane mariners, and not of the order of the Ku Klux Klan. So they worked hard to save their vessel without sacrificing Jonah; but all to no purpose. Then says the inspired narrative :— 14. Wherefore they cried unto the Lord, We be- seech Thee, O Lord, we beseech Thee, let us not perish for this man’s life, and lay not upon us in- nocent blood: for thou, G Lord, hast done ag it Pleased Thee. 16, So they took up Jonah and cast him forth into the and the sea ceased from her raging. 16. Then the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the Lord, and made vows. In other words, they adopted a new platform. | 7. Now the Lord ad prepared a plgtto ait to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights, How Jonah prayed unto the Lord “‘out of the fish’s belly,” how he was “‘vomited out on the dry land,” how he went to Nineveh and preached according to his instructions, how the Ninevites repented and put on sackcloth and ashes and were saved, and how Jonah became ‘‘very angry” that the city was not destroyed, and how he was brought to a better frame of mind by the lesson of the gourd vine, we need not here repeat. Our text is the fifteenth verse of the first chapter of the Book of Jonah:— So they took up Jonah and cast him forth into the sea, and the sea ceased from her raging. Now the democratic ship, bound for Tarshish or Salt River, is in the midst of a mighty tempest, but the mariners, instead of praying to their gods, are cursing and swearing at each other and the captain and mate, Seymour and Blair, demanding, first, that both shall be thrown overboard. The captain is ready to-decline once more, but the mate “don't see it.” He is willing to do anything for the cause, but his instructions must come from the democratic party. Whereupon a certain clique of Egyptians and Bohemians in New York, having cast lots, say the lot has fallen upon the captain's mate, and they call out the mate by name, and denounce him as the Jonah of the ship, and they insist upon his being cast forth into the sea, no matter whether a great fish has or has not been pre- pared to swallow him up. These mariners, after their fashion, have worked hard to save the vessel; but she has been striking among the rocks, she has sprung a leak, and they know that for Blair's sake this tempest is upon them. Seymour is all right. Blair is the false prophet and the guilty fugitive from justice, and overboard he must go. Now, the manner whereby. this man Blair was coupled with Seymour was this: The “bloated bondholders” of Gotham and the East, having, by their cunning devices in the Tammany council chamber, made Seymour captain, ona new platform declaring certain acts of Congress ‘‘unconstitutional, revolu- tionary and void,” certain men of the West and the South said, as ye have so declared we name the valiant soldier, Blair, as second in command, inasmuch as in your platform ye have adopted his Brodhead letter, And* ail the men assembled in Tammany under the idol of the big Indian said Amen. And then, re- joicing in their work, with a mighty yell, like that of a Southern army, the Convention ad- journed. The Egyptians and Bohemians, fol- lowers of the Manhattan Club, however, would make the honest Blair the scapegoat or Jonah of the Tammany Convention. They call upon Belmont and his associate high priests of the temple to do this thing if Blair will not take the hint and leave, But will Blair, as a scape- goat ora Jonah, carry off that revolutionary edict from the new Tammany book of democ- tracy? No; but as that was the work of Wade Hampton he may withdraw it, Let it be so, and what then? Then Hampton and his posse will retire in disgust; then, while all the North will go for Grant, all the South will go the same way, and the democratic ship, as well as Jonah, this time will be cast upon the dry land. Doy’t Like tHe Pratrorm.—Mr. Chase, they say, even at the eleventh hour, or at half- past eleven, is ready to run, not as the demo- cratic, but as an independent candidate.

The managers of the New York Democratic Con- vention should have read the famous pamphiet of the Abbé Siéyés on the “Tiers Etat.” They might have thought then of these three questions and an- swers-—“What is the people?’ “Everything. “What has it been so far ?”’ ‘‘Nothing.”” “What does it propose to become?” “Something.” Is it too late for the democratic party to see more and blare less?

With the exception of the metal furnished by the government and placed in the hands of Major Generals H. G. Wright, George W. Getty, Frank Wheaton and Truoman Seymour, all of the United States Army, for the object designed, the means neceasary to its execution were mainly contributed by the ofiicers and soldiers of the Sixth corps while encamped in front of Petersvurg im the winter of 1804-65, and by many others who had fought under and served with General sedewick fromthe com- mencement of the great rebellion. ‘That those who cherish the memory or the beloved emer will be gratified with the display which wili be made to-day when the statue is ‘ully exposed there can be little room for question.
