Tni Complete Works op Alexis db Tocqub-
VII, LB.
Although there has as yet appeared no Eng
lish edition of the works of which we would
speak , nor yet U there aay translation, except
one in prospect, we feel warranted in referring
to the fact that the last volume has made Its ap
poarunce in Parte and has reached Onr shores.
It is in nine volumes, and U of deep interest to
the student of 'political econorty. It gives as a
view of De Tocqatvllle both as a young man
and as a sage. Ills "Democracy In Ausrlca"
has secured for hlw a personal interest in the
hearts of many, and in the intellects of all think
ing citizens of our republic; and the faot that
we will shortly be iavored with a translation or
his lite, works, letters, .and speeches, Is a most
agreeable one, . The present Volume treats of
his Bpcccbc-9. Fiom it we will make a few run
ning quotations. .
It was full six years before the revolution of
1848, and nearly ten before Louis Bonaparte
executed his coup d'etat, that Da Tocqueville, In
a speech in the Chamber of Deputies on the
state of the country, in which he pointed out
tho general relaxation of public morals, a (trow
ing desire for office, the indifference of the peo
ple amidst attacks on society, the pernicious
effects of a novernmental policy which ad
dressed itself to the worst, instead of to the bet
ter, impulses of the citizens, and tho equally de.
moralizing effects of political coalitions based
not on principle but on interest, among others
spoke the following words:
'Yes, gentlemen, it is necessary that some
body should declare, and that toe people, who
hear us, should learn, that the representative
system is in peril. Tue nation, which leols its
inconveniences, does not sufllciently appreciate
its advantages And liberty, too, let
me be permitted to say, in in peril. Undoubtedly,
when we have tho entire use, and sometimes, I
will ((rant, witness the abuse, ot liberty, it may
appear puerile to say that it is in peril. It is
true that these perils are not immediate, but
allow mo to affirm that it has been by this mode
of action that nations in all a ices have lout their
liberty. To be cure, I see uo one man (treat
enough to become our master; but I say and
may my country tolerate my words respect
fully that thus havo all nations proceeded
when preparing for themselves 'a master.
I know not" .where he is, or from
which quarter ho is to come; but he will
come, sooner or later, if we continue to follow
this ioad. . . . Now, gentlemen, if all this
be true, what is the result? It is that the public
spirit in this country, assailed in its very prin
ciple, is threatened with destruction. It results
thut inHtcad of opinions wbicb, as I have jubt
said, might serve as a solid basis, be it to an op
position, be it to a Government, we meet only
with a collection of petty private interests,
mobile and transient, which can afford no point
of support to anybody, neither to tho Govern
ment nor to the opposition, and which neces
sarily burrenders the whole ot society and the
Government which rules it to a perpetual mo
bility, from which nothing can spring but anar
chy and universal ruin."
In twa powerful speeches in opposition to the
foreign - policy of M. Guizot, delivered in 1843
and 1845 respectively, he displays no less saga
city, and considerably higher talents as a parlia
mentary orator. We cannot refrain from quot
ing the concluding words of the second speech,
in which he showed the tameness and colorless
ness, the timidity and the tear of a policy which
characterized Louis Philippe's foreign efforts:
"What State istthere in Europe, little or great.
wh .ch believes that in any affair, small or great,
V til 4u-trvt w 1 rv V 1 1 4 Alii t na v-itil nation 1 nAnnn
but irom which difficulties mlaht arise, Franco
would step lorward, would remain at the breach,
would pursue ner enterprises to the end enter
prises, let me add, most just and most necessary?
Where is the State, where can you tind a cabinet,
which would indulge (forgive the evpresslon) in
such dreams ? There is none. It is known every
where that you will talte nobody's side, that you
will not do anything. Well, if it is possible in
this way to secure the tranquillity of a rei?n, it
will never be possible thus to establish, the per
manency of a dynasty. None has ever been
founded in this manner. Dynasties are not thus
Jilauied in the soil. No, gentlemen. Sooner or
ater my country will see that what I say here is
demonstrated by expedience."
Thus spoke De Tocqueville years before the
revolutionary tempest of February buret npon
France.
We regret that we cannot quote more fully
The work is replete with prophecies which have
since been fulfilled, and is tho stronjest argument
which could be addressed in favor of the justice
of the judgment, which has placed De Tocque
ville foremost among the greatest and best of all
political writers and thinkers of modern times.
Jealousy. By George Sand. T. B. Peterson &
Bros., No. 300 CheBnut street, PUi'adu.
Probably the best worlt which ha recently
issued tram the press of Messrs. Peterson, is the
last production of tho fertile brain of that
anomalous social phenomena, George Baud.
We say it is the best not so much besause of the
contents of the novel proper as because of a very
pleasantly-written biographical preface, which
gives us a good idea of the past life and present
habits ot this once personally fascinating, and
stilt literary belle, whose real name was Aurore
Duplu, afterwards M'me Dudevant, and whsse
nom de plume h now so well known, It has, like
all of lte predecessors, a wonderful interest tor
all ladies, and more particularly gentleman.
We do not know the cause, but the fact is never
thelcse true, that the only class of female writers
who can claim male readers are those over
whose personal affairs the veil of mystery is a
beautifler. Prominent among these wo miy
mention the writer ot "Jealousy." The work
Jtselt 1 a delightful little novel, one of those
creations which aio said to be born in an hour,
and can be read, and will be read, by thousands
of our literati with deep pleasure aud unceasing
interest.
Tne Lobt Beibe. By T. S. Arthur. T. B. Peter-
eon ic, Bro., No. 3G( Cbesnut street
All of Mr. Arthur's works have a sameness,
' or rather, a similarity to each other; and the
present one Is no exception. Dealing only in
the moral and refined, he has the power of com
bluing the elevating and inteiestiag. The suc
cess which has attended his writings; and their
enlarged popularity, are best attested by their
unrivalled circulation, particularly throughout
the interior of our State. A sojourn of many
summers In the heart of the rural districts has
convinced us thai as a writer for the resident
in the country Mr. Arthur is without a compd-
tltor. On evtery fawner's centre-table we find
number of his works; and they, with a lady's
maaazlne, is all the current literary food with
which our agilculturallsts are supplied, Thi
present woik, priutei in a larRe, clear type, and
on good paper, is destined to receive as muon
patronage as has been extended to its numerous
pre docessors,

us with another. The work before us treats, as
its name indicates, of the llfo and career of the
great archbishop. Its fault is that of artifi
ciality, coldness, end over supply of thoso
ornate figures which show great study but little
discretion. We will merely quote a passage as
a fair sample of its style; The an a war of Becket
to the king, when offered the Archbishopric,
presents a fair specimen of the general execu
tion1 of the tragedy:

A Novel, by Victor Hugo. T. B. Peterson, &
Bros.
The reputation achieved by Hugo previously
to tho appearance of "Les Miserable3" was
widely extended; but the reception of that, his
great chef tfoeuvre, placed him amons tie fore
most of European novelists. Its translation
into English caused a desire for tne procurnnco
of the other productions of his pen, and, as j
usual, among the first to supply the popular
wants Is the house of Peterson. . "Tho Brigand"
is a wild, thrilling creai Ion of on intense imagi
nation. It abounds with the most exciting epi
sode?, ever-varying incidents, ceaseless changes,
and unexpected denouement. The interest is
maintained throughout the whole work, and the
reader's attention never allowed for one instant
to flag. It deserves aud will receivo au immense
sale, as the works of Hugo are ever popular,
and the style in which they arc got up by
Messrs. Peterson are such ns to place them
within the reach of all the people.
The Bound 2a'Ae, speaking of the propriety
ot publishing Nathaniel Hawthorne's Diary, a is
at present being done by the Atlantic Monthly,
comments with force on the indelicacy of such
a course, and Justly says:
"And wo have no right thus to pry into the
journal ot the departed romaucisr. Tho work
wLich ho wished to bj eiven to the world, he
himself gave. On those he lavished the wealth
of bis rich cenius and exquisite Imagination.
On those be wished his tame to resi; through
those he wished to be judged by contemporaries
and posterity. Is not the wish reasonable '! Has
not tne author the right to demand that nis
merits be judged by the works which he has
elaborated, on which he has spent his best
years, and whicu he has chosen to oiler for the
criticism and decision or the public t OvU it
right to rummage tne dead autnor's desk aud
publien a selection, not tne autbor s, ot passages
from the scrap-books and note-books which' he
has lett behind him ?
The reason of the Dublication of this Diary
rr ay be lound, probably, in tne desire ot the
magazine publishers to keep upon their list of
contributois the name of one bo widely Known
Bud so worthily nonorecL, uut we submit that
it is no right of publishers thus to parade in
their issues the private notes and personal re
cords of the authors whose elaborate works have
gained them renown. If such a coarse is to bo
encouraged and pursued, we shall have next the
publication of a deceased writer's expense-books
and the records oi nis personal- disbursements.
No author who ha achieved any prominence,
and who wishes to preserve his fame undimmed,
will dare to leave, or even to keep, anv record
of his stray thouvhts or uannishea e Sorts, with
tbe tear and tbe prospect banging over him tbit
whatever he putt upon paper will be rushed into
print uiter his death."
Lake Disasters in 1805.
A list furnished to the Buffalo Commeraial Ad
vertiser bv Captain Weber, General Inspector of
the Board of Lake Underwriters, shows that 152
lives were lost on the lakes last year, and that
the total loss of property amounted to $1,835,013.
No list of disasters tor 1801 was made np, and
we cannot eliow, therefore, how the losses of last
year will compare witu tnose ot tne year pre
vious, in ibOJ tne lives lost were ra, ana me
loss of property $1,480,434. In 1802, loss ol lite
10H: oi property, i, 102, 173. ine to:ainumoer ot
veHsels in 1865 was 1749, tonnage, 44:),12 ; In
1803 there were lb70 vessels, with 470,034 ton
nage. Captain w eber says that a largo proportion or
these disasters are cause J by vessels going
ashore in thick or foggy weather. This arise
mainly lrom culpable lirnorance of tbe plainest
rules of navigation by the masters. There is un-
lortunateiy no law requinna tnern to pass an
examination, and, according to Captain Weber,
'almost anv one, whether capable or not. cau

COMPILED BTEBT DAT FOB EVENING" TKLUQRAPn.
The rcople, the President, and the Poli
ticians. fnm tht Timrt.
The sober second thought Is evldeutly doing
doing Its work among the politicians. The ma
jority of the Union party In Conaress begin to
evince a gratifying unwillingness to play the
game of the few reckless men who have arrogated
the authority of leaders. There Is a manifest ten
dency in the direction or prudence, if not of ab
solute conservatism. The rage for ConstltJ
tional amendments gradually abates. The cru
sade aga:nst the Southern States is moderated,
not to say checked, by an increased regard for
consequences. . The warlure against tho Presi
dent, though persisted in by the radical press,
bnds less sympiuay in the Capitol, where othur
counsels tliau those of the disunionists lor the
moment prevail.
For tlii.i wholesome chanire the country is
nndoubtedly indebted in a large degree to the
President. Had he been composed of more
pliable material, possessed less nrmnes3 of pur
pose, oi been m any manner subject to the
external influences by which less courageous
men are swayed, the radical disunio:iists would
have carriea everything before them. Every
branch of tho (tovernment would have heou
subject to their rude energy. A central direc
tory, holding secret sessions in a committee
room ot tho Capitol, ould have laid a-ii le the
Constitution as a useless scroll, discanlel the
dfch-ions of the Supreme Court, made the votes
ot Congress eli'eciual lor everything, and frus
trated the whole object ot ibe war by rendering
the restoration ot the Union impossible. Tho
firmness of Andrew Johnson has in a measuro
saved us lrom thuse perils, i mined ate aud con
tingent, and imposed a restraint upon conduct
that would have led to a renewal of civil con
flict. Without in any instance overstepping the de
fined boundanea ot the Presidential authority,
bo has Ht'Bertud the right! ul privileges of his
office, and turned to just account the opportuni
ties that have como betote him. Tnj iron
nerve whieh, duiinsr tbe war. sustained him
amidst no ordiuaiy danger, has enabled him
to sinno kiitlincbingiy be i ore assaults that
would bnvt int'iuidated another muu. Hie
coui.iee, his pieseuce ol mind, his clearness
of intellect, and steadiness ot will have indeed
made thcmsslves more manifest a the occa
sions lor their exercise have arisen. It he
has spoken publicly with greater frequency,
greater fulness, aud prcator sigi.iticauce thau.
Presidents have iiriially done, it should be
remembered that never since the formation of
the Union has there been h similar necessity
ioi IliiH kind ol Executive etlort. it now and
then he bus been more pointedly controver
sial and denunciatory than comports with the
pleasure of radical newspapers, lit it bo borne
in mind that the radicals themselves, by tho
virulence and indecency of their attacks, com
pelled him to vindicate his own manhood and
uphold the, hich trust reposed in him, by indi
cutinglii8 course and the grounds upon which he
relies lor its ustincatioi This always may it
be said, as well oi his impromptu addresses as of
those which bore evidence of preparation, and
ot his message to Congress not less than either
that Andrew Johnson has safsl'actorily vindi
cated the constitutionality and the consistency
ot his position, and tho wisdom ot his pol cy
considered as a means of healing wounds pro
duced by tho Rebellion, and restoring peace and
irtsgiityto The Union. Tberetcie, we rep-at,
tbe country may thank tao President lor tho
vigor aud intelligence with which he has recalled
Congress to a sense of 'ts duties, aud lor the
pluck which has enabled hlra more or less com
pletely to balile the plan, of the disuniouists.
Another and yet more powenul influence is In
r pcra'ion to counteract the movements of the
disunioiiist", and direct tne labors ol Congress
into more nsetul channels. The people of tho
North are making tneir power felt in various
directions, nud especially in the direction of
those who are supposed lo reoresent them at
Washington, it ts well unaertood that since
the delivery of the veto messaeo, public opinion
has not permitted professed mumbers ot the
Union partv to toriret the purpose for which the
war against tbe Kebellion was conducted, or the
nature of the ptattonn upon which they were
respectively elected. The imposing demonstra
tion m tnis city pave tne Key note to tbe union
party throughout the country, and we antici
pate that, as time rolls on, the piessure which
constituencies may legitimately exercise upon
their representatives will exniDit augmented
lorce. ir this expectation do tmtuied, the
threatened disruption of the party will be
averted, tbe radicals will be thrust into' tne
background, and tne constitutional views cnun-
cieied witn o mucn cogency oy tne rresiaeut
will be sustained.
The truth is that an overwhelming maionty of
the American people have not, and never had,
any decided sympathy with the principles or
plans of the extremists. Your Philliptes and
Gnrrisrus have been supported by a faction
which compensated by noise and activity for iu
signiOcance ol number; and though the result
ol the war lias soemeii to yie'd tribute to their
influence, everybody knows that th abolition of
slavery is attributable, not t their advocacy,
buttocnus:s which were developed during the
progress ot the conflict. Their violence to-day,
then, reflects simply th9 feeling of a faction
which, though capable, negatively, of mischief,
is incapable oi piouuciug any positive ettect
upon tke vuct ruos-. ol public opinion. It may
suit tuu pushing convenience oi politicians to
keep alive sectional animosities, to cultivate
crotchets at any posible cost, and to gratify
their capricious vengeauce, albeit its product bo
toe permanent di'ruption of the Union. But tor
these things tne people wiu uave no patience.
Their animosity towards the South ceased
when the victory of our soldier over the Rebel
lion hnd been consummated; thenceforward,
they regarded tho citizens ot the South as erring
iriei ds and brethren M ho had been punished
for their error not as aliens and enemies, to bo
treated with harshness and contumely all thou?
da8. So also in reference to th obiect and the
end of the war itself. As understood by the
people, the restoration of the Union was the
one great purpose: and having put down South
era liebeU who tought to destroy the Uniou,
they are not likely iO look with favor on North
ern radicals w ho scold and con-pire to tear the
Uniou asunder.
In this great fact ists our principal source of
hope and confidence. Tne people are lor the
Union, let who may be against it. The people
are tor the Constitution as the fathers made it,
whether the radicals are contented with it or
not. Sooner or later the judgment of tne people
will not admit ot. mlsconsir.iction on either
point; and Congress shows its sazocit; wheu it
yields seasonably to the oovions current of
national opinion, instead of vainly striving to
thwart or resut it,

These asseverations of an enemy are in
cstciico bonorablo to those thpy assail and re
proach. Tho "lussy philanthropy" which has
rescued four millions of our countrymen, from
the auction-block and the collie, from legal
chattel hood, with jealously enforced ignorance,
and wieted two millions of our countrywoman
irom utter helplessness and subjection to the
coarsest and most brutal lust, needs no vindi

has in good part vutnshcl. but tho habit of re
sorting to them is inveterato; and the genera
tion which so long found the invocation proUto
ble must not be expected to abandon it.
The Republican party was founded on a single
idea resistance to the territorial extension or
expansion of slavery in our Union. On that idea,
it strueclcd throuch weakness and defeat up to
stiength and triumph. Slaveiy thereupon pr-
cipitaico a coiintci or arms, wnicn necessitated
and lesulted in its own destruction. In the pro
gress ot that conflict it became necessary to in
voke the assistance of the enslaved, and to pro
mise not only to establish but to maintain thoir
freedom. Tiiat pledge we arc now bound to
fulfil to ihe exteureit our ability. If this 6ub-
iects us to unpopularity and defeat, we shall
confront these ss serenely as, and far loss

jority of beven simply by prescribing that two ol
the lour stitill not count. All parties huve their
camp-followers and vulturee, who are habitually
"on the make," and who are constitutionally
; attracted to that quarter whence the socntof
prey comes strongest. We, certainly, shall not
be "apostates;" nor skull wo, if power and its
votaries leave us, be "martyrs." Ortico did not
make us Republicans; oflice cannot make us
apostates; but it the people shall see fit to give
power to our adversaries we shall be relieved
ot a weighty trust, not overtsKen by a grievous
cnlumiiv. It is our simnle dutv t be laithtul
to our principles; it rests with others to give or
it bliold the power essential to their triumph.
Kol to sit on the Treasury benches, but to bo
true to our convictions ot right and duty, is our
?uidins-star; and, until this mils, we shall
nowise be "martyrs."
Tinkering the Constitution.
from the World.
Some intelligent citizens ol Iowa, justly uneasy
at every finger being thrust into the Constitu
tionul pie except their own, have petitioned lor
un amendment of the Constitution, recognizing
the existence ot God and the divinity of Christ
Of course, Congress should have power in the
second clause "to enlorce this article by appro
priate legislation."
lie tiatitude of the Deity at an oitlcial ac
kuowledgiaent of his existence by the United
Btutea roav be nicie easily imairiQcd than de
scribed; probably he would Immediately perform
some niiradif oi a very astounding character
drivu Maximilian out of Mexico by -clouds ot
fleas, bleach Sambo iuto the whitune.s of Ihe
petitioners irom Iowa, reduce his brain to thoir
modicum, and take the curve out ot hi3 shui to
nut it in their intellect.
There is a very lare clus, however, of most
excellent citizens ot the Hebrew lace, intell
eeut, industrious, obedient to the lavs, irre
proachable m their domc.tic relations, who still
tiers si in not admitting th divinity of Christ.
There are some very good Unitarians who ia-
dnlee in the surae oieposterous perversity oi
thought. Whut is to be done with these people
under the proposed amendment?
They would be placed In the awkward dilem
ma of 'honesty and dudoyalty, or hypocrisy and
lovnUv. '
However, we must civo the Iowa reformers
tbe benefit of the admission lhat they are as
louical and a good deal more consistent than
some of their party associates. The leading Re
publicans have eidabl'shod the couut-no.'es
theory as the Constitution ol the United States,
and U is pretty certain tnut under tne count
not.es eysiem our worthy Hebrew tellow-citizens
would net be much butter ofl than Isaac ot Yorg.

tbe liiu'st advioes, buve become eo tilarmed as to
t e But'Bticl ith nothing rbort ot the sujppniou
of the habeas corpus writ in all Ireland. The
I-ord Lieutenant has notified the Government
that he can assume no responsibility for any dis
turbances ol the peace in Ireland without such
suspension. Tbe House ol Commons hss rushed
through a bill for the suspension of the writ
brought in by tie Government in one mailt by
364 votes against 6. The Houe of Iords ex
pressed it concurrence on th 'amf nteat, and
the rojal assent was given to the bill on tho day
following. The United Kingdom is niraln
breathing more freely, and indulging the hope
that the final blow will soon bo struck at those
formidable Fenians.
RThe events to which the alarm in England
dunntr tho last weeks appear to bo chiefly due,
sre the discoverv and seizure of immense ouan-
tittes ct ammunition, and the rumored raiting oi
a reman crusicr from New York (the Vuna.)
As regards the former, it seems that the manu
facture of arnn nnd ammunition ha been really
carried on in Dublin to a larger extent than any
one not initiated supposed to be the case. Tho
report concerning tbe privateer is for the present
only a false hi arm: but it is interesting to snow
what etlect the appearance of one, two, or half
a dozen Alabama, eailimr. under Fenian colors,
would mod uce nnon the nerves, as well as the
commerce ot our Fnclish cflusins.
Itey have, or course, long since oecomo
unanimous in Enrland as to the conviction that
the English neutrality law are altogether in
sufficient, and a bill to tiujrt them more strin
gent has been introduced Into Parliament. 1
