Gov. RaNpoLrit, in his message to the Legislature of New Jersey, handles the Fif- teenth Amendment rather gingerly. It is at least remarkable to eco a Democratic Gover- nor declare himself against the doctrine of universal suffrage, and propose to set up qua. lifcations other than those of citizenship, age, sex, and residence, whereby to regulate the right to vote. “A proposition of this character,” says the Governor, “containing #o many elements of safety to the Govern: mont and advantage to the people, would, from its very nature, become the opposing force to the doctrine ot universal suffrage, nor could the issue be doubtful when fairly understood, All this may be true. organization which favors it ought to have the grace and consistency to call itself some- thing else than the Democratic party. In times of Gronce CurNntroy, JErren- son, and Jackson, Demoeracy was the aynonyme of equal rights, and the party they led used to pride themselves upon their radi- calism, and boast of universal suffrage as one of their cardinal doctrines, But Cri. TON, JEFFERSON, avd Jackson died long ago, and were feeble lights at best, while we live under the brilliant régime of Swer HorrMan, and Ranvouru. We agree the Jersey statesman that when this { fairly made, the result will not be doubtf But the political au) z a Secret Springs of the Red River Rebel- lion. To fully comprehend the meaning of the late movement on the Red River, it is necessary that our readers should be partially initiated into the internal workings of Canadian party politics, And to this end we must first know something of the various recee, castes, secret orders—in fact, something of ihe gen. eral civil and religious education of the var ous px north of the St. Lawrence, When our Canadian correspondent som two weeks since drew our atiention to the coming schism Letween the crestfallen Gov McDoveart, bis Upper Canadian friends, and the doubledealing but short-sighted Ministry at Ottawe, we hardly supposed that proof of the correctacss of this informatio: ‘was so soon to be furnished. But proof pos. itive now actually appears on every hand; and rare, if not startling, political develop ments may be expected in the approacking session of the Dominion Parliament. There have been in Canada within the past fifteen years beth a Canrien-MAcboNaLy Ministry and a MAcboNALD-Cantinn Minis- try. Gi Canrien, now Sir GEonor, hes been for years the leader of French Canadian Lower Canada; while Joun A MACDONALD, now Sir JomLy, has been equal ly the leading political manipulator of the English, Scotch, and Irish of Upper Canada The fonacr is the trusted champion of Roman Catholicism, while the latter is th favored and tru leader of the ultra Orange fraternity, and has always represent ad the old town of Kingston in Parliament— the very place that so grossly insulted Prince of Waves when on his tour of the Provinces ip 1860, simply because he chose to visit Roman Catholic institutions while in Quebec. Now it appears that the Cantiric party, speaking through Bishop Tacit, have aroused the old French-Canadian Roman Catholic spirit in the French clement of Red River, and have inspired them to ac- tion in protection of their religious rights, a8 well as the general British-American inter. ests of the French race, Gov. McDovoaut. ls reported to have said at St. Paul has balf-breeds admit that their action is due to the letters written by Bishop 'TAcue, prior to his departure for Rome to attend the GZcu menical Council.” An intelligent correspon dent of a Toronto paper, who met Mr. Me- DovGant at St. Cloud, after a prolonged in terview with that functionary, suggestively writes as follows; No one has ax yet been able to fath cause for the action of the Freuch clergy at Red River: ‘on will doubtless be surprised that gause to be played by tue crafty lew icbreeds is, in addition to making w de , to establish on the nort the province of Ontario a Fieneh colouy, who will act In unkkou with the Fieneh of the province of Quebee, wid set as a cheek to the p Hof Onitariny ax Lower Ca les composings the would-be nation mm the real rking the assertion, backed up as fam now by undoubled authority.” We also observe that the leading organ of ul tra Protestant Sir Joun MACDONALD patron. luingly alludes to the Red River insurgents ae “the fellow-countrymen of the noble. minded Sir Gxonae E, Cartier, who secs in England the salvation of the people of his own blood on this continent.” On the other hand, Sir Gzonag, ina recent speech at Quebee before w French Canadian Society, ways: “If Westcrn Canada is prosperous to- day, it is becauso there was a hardy race Here before ite gettloment, a race patient, in- dustrious, persevering, who had determined to found a State on the banks of the St, Law renee,” “But where,” he exultingly asks, “would they have been without the endur §ug, industrious, persevering race which evlonized this pro It is @ fact beyond contradiction, that the French of Lower Canada would never have yielded their assent to confederation at all, Lad they not firet secured a distinct govern. ne ment for their old province of Quebec, with entire control of their own local affairs, with French laws and French language perpetu- ated. Now, it would seem that, being afraid of having their province swallowed up by the English-speaking element of consolidated British America, they are determined that the Red River country shall cither be ad- mitted into the Dominion as a French Roman Catholic province, or otherwise not at all. ‘There are certainly wheels within wheels in the new Dominion, and we await further de- velopments there with considerable interest. Mr. Webster's Confession. Mr. Stoney Wensren has made and pub- lished a confession. He admits that he has eon acting: as counsel for the Spanish Gov- ernment, and, at the same time, does not deny that he is the son-in-law of the Ameri+ can Secretary ¢ ate, He states that he has been paid in greenbacks—as if that were an important point. We suppose he means to imply that the virtue of the Secretary could withstand the influence of greenbecks paid into bis family, although it might have been overcome if the payment had been in gold. Mr. Wester complains that the fees which he has received from the Spanish Gov- ernment amount to only $8,370, and he pub- lishes a certificate from the Hon, Epwanps Prerreronr to show that the sum paid was not asmuch as the services were worth. Mr. Prenneront says: “Those services were arduous, involving great responsibility, in dustry, and legnt ability ;’ and that “they were performed with the greatest fidelity to the Spanish Government.” We do not doubt and the Spanish Government can well rd to pay a large additional sam for them. Fight thousand eight hundred and seventy dollars to Mr. Wenster makes the amount paid to the firm of which he is a partner twice that sum, or seventecn thousand seven hundred and forty dollurs. Whether this fee Le large enough to exer. cise any influence over the conduct of the Secretary of State is, we admit, a fair sub- ject forargument. And in determining that, it may be pertinent to consider that the great oilice which the Secretary holds seems to have een conferred upon him in consideration of the paltry sum of one thousand dolars— algo in greenbacks—wh'ch he gave to Presi dent he received the appointment. When oilices themselves are held so cheap, we do not know what would be deemed an adequa official acts iKANT a short time before few Moreover, we do not say—we have never ¢ ed and we do not believe— that there has been an: vulgar negotiation, any direct bargain, be tween Mr, Wenster and Mr. Fisu, that the seventeen thousand seven hundred and forty dollars paid by the Spanish Gov. ermucnt to Mr. Webster's law finn was to have an influence on the official cond of his father-in-low, What we lave urged, and what we do contend is, that it is highly indelieate and improper for Mr. Fist to ceeupy the position of Sceretary of State pursuing a course extremely hostile to Cuba, while at the same time the Spanish Govern ment is pouring money into the poekuts of his son-inlaw—and price fors Mr. Wenster declares it “ far from agre ablo” to moke these explanations in n to his Luriness This is not str le b It st be disagreeable and wing to the Administration. The doctrincs which we have applied tc of Mr, Wrpster and Mr, Frsit are no invention of ourown, They are not new. ‘They are based upon the inherent principles of huinan nature, and they are con seeruted by the wisdom of ages. It is ancient as well a# a universal priuci ple of law, that ties of affinity, no less than those of consanguinity, to a person interest ed in the decision, shall disquatify a Judge from acting in any case. We apprehend that if the office of Secretary of State were to be filled by a popular election to-day, Mr Fren would reccive very few votes. It would be found that he doce not possess the public confidence, to himec ese Mr. Thomas Biddie and the Cubsn ConsulatesGeneral. One of the most unfortunate and most dis. creditable nominations which Gen, Grant has seut to the Senate is that of Mr, Tuomas Bippre of Philadelphia as Consul-General at Havana, When we say that it is discreditable, we do not mean that it is #o in the sume way as the appointment of Mr, Hasmron Piet as Secretary “State was discreditable. It is not known that Mr. Bropie has given Gen GRANT o present, and it was notorious that Mr, Fisut had done so. So that the two ap- pointments do not stand on exactly the same ground; and yet they are similar; and it is easy to believe the report that it is to the in fluence of Mr. Fisat and of the celebrate Mr. Borie that Mr. Bipp.& owes the dis tinction now conferred upon him, Having said this, it is hardly necessary to add that Mr. Bipp.e is utterly unfit and unqualified for the office for which Mr. Firm and Mr. Bowe have selected him. We desire to do no wrong to Mr, Bippiy, He is indisputably a member of the First Families of Philadelphia, He is a gentleman of large frame and imposing presence. No doubt he is also a man of correct moral prin- ciples, We may admit, too, that it is prob ably true that he spcaks Spanish, But there commendation ends. We grieve that this nomination compels us to say it, but the truth must be told. Mr. Bippie is a fool He has not sense enough to manage with success the most commonplace affairs. No judicious man would wish to employ him as his agent in business where fifty dollars was at stake. He has not the intellect requisite to perform any duties beyond those of merc routine, He is destitute of judgment to a remarkable degree, and his opinion, except perhaps on such questions as the weather, is worthless, His temper is irritable and capri cous ; and his actions are apt to be extremely silly, He i¢a man whom any canning per son can wind about his finger; and at Havana he would see and know just what the Captain-General might desire, and nothing more, This is the kind of person whom Gen, GuaNs, aeting under the kindred inspiration THE of Mr. Fist and Mr. Bonin, cruelly drags Into unnecessary public notice and exposes to criticism by nominating him to be Consul- General at Havana, ‘That office is the most difficult one that we now e to fill—next perhaps to that of the Secretary of State— requiring talents, penetration of mind, judg- ment, firmness, and sound American ideas ; and Gen. Grant proposes to fill it with a gentleman of the First Families of Philadel. phia, who does not possess wit enough to save him from being a fool! Do our readers remember the advice of the statesman of old to his son as the young man was beginning his travela? “Go, my son, anid the veteran ruler, “and behold with what stupidity the world is governod!” When Gen, Grant was elected President, it ‘was believed that he would at least adminis- tor his office with conscience and good sense ; Dut since he has fallen into the snares of the Firet Families of Philadelphia—not to say ot Now York—his luck has been very bad. The murder of Victor Norn isnot relieved of any of its shocking features by the statement which Prenee Boxaranre has put forth in his own justification, He admits that he shot Nor; but he pretends that Nom had slapped his face and was trying to draw a pistol when he was killed. He also asserts that M, Fouvrerte—who had come to his apartments along with Nore, to arrange a duel between Boxapante and Hexnr Rocueront— drew a pistol and fired at him without effect while he was firing at Norm. Of course, we cannot expect to receive by tele- graph the statement of M. Forvrentx, No evi- dence against @ Boxarante can be telegraphed ‘om France to foreign countries; and we must wait till the mail arrives to know all the facts. But the assertions of Boxaranre suffice to show that it had been his intention to kill some ove in the interview to which he had invited Rocnsrorr, and to which that gentleman sent his friends in- stead of going himself, An altereation and fight with pistols on the occasion of a meeting to ar- range the terms of a duel are something entirely unprecedented. No one but Roxaparte could have provoked them; for Nore and Fouvir must have gone there with no expectation or in tention of the sort, Besides, Boxarante that he had @ pistol loaded and ready for us must then have contemplated shooting some one. Apparently it was his intention to assaesinate Rocurrort, whom he probably regarl¢ as the great foe of his family; and when the principal did not come, he murdered oie of his seconds instead Will this murderer be fuirly ted ¢ It is more th He will probably succeed in escaping all punishment; but if he does, it will be What if uid be the signal for mn doubtful, the worse for the Bonaparte dynasty. the act of this assa its downful —— Who will be the United States Senators from the reconstructed State of Mi We hope that one of them will be Gen.
