Tlie tate of Earopa Is not likely to tie as pa. clflc dnrieir tho year 1(5(16 as it was durinethe preceding year. The January insurrection in Spain has already been followed by a February retolution in tbo Dannbian Principalities. This second revolutionary attempt has been attended by greater success than the first. The Prince was on the 23d of Febraary surprised Vy tho in surgent ti oops in his palace, taken prisoner, and forced to resign. On the tame day the Sunato and the Chamber of Deputies proclaimed the Count of plunder?, brotbar of the Klne of the JSelcisns, Prince of Itoumania, under tho name of Fhilip I. The Count ot Flanders, howcrer, at once, declined th honor, and the country Is likely to remain lor om time without a head. The future Government of the northern pr.-v vinces of Turkey oonst'fules one of tho roost dif ficult complications of European politics. Twelve years ajto this qnention led to the Crimean wur, and every new revolutionary outbreak InTurkoy is a subject of proloand concern to European diplomatist?, who are well aware that the con flict between the iulcrcits of Italia, Austria, FYnnni i.n.1 FiirlaB) X as to the BDOils Of EulO pean Turkey. hich is doomed to iKeritable dis- Bmkrmpnt and mar at anytime lcal iim a great Entopean war. fo ward off this danger, aconierenee between the powers which irued the treaty of Paris is said to have already seen ttfireeo upon. Present Aspect of the Mexican Question. From the Timet. It is over five years since foreign intervention began its work in Mexico, and nearly three years since the Archduke Maximilian of Austria was proclaimed Emperor by tho "Assembly of Nota. bles" convened at the City of Mexico. Throo years Is a very Iodj time for a Mexican Govern ment of any sort to sustain itself in any fashion. It is trua that it hn? been upheld by foreign power and mercenary bayonets, by French loans and French mnnagciuent; and it is true that lrom the beginning Juarez and the loyal repub licans have never Chased to protest azainst it in words and by arms. But still tho Imperial Gov ernment hat- trone on extending aud consolida ting itself in a remarkable manner. It domi nates at this lime all toe were populous states of the late republic, and nearly all the .Mexican military und polnict.1 leaders have given in their aunouou to it. The condition of thirjss in Mexbo for the last hall vear has been more pesoet'ul tha.i at any previous time since the intervention. There has been no fiaiitinsr anywhere worthy of beuis; chronicled. Even the numerous currilla skir mishes of which we used to have ucccunt3 bv every mail, scein to have all but cjme to an end": and the robbery ot a tram now and then is alt there is to remind us of tbo old order of taiuari. Many ot tho beet republicans have evidently eiveu up in despair, iney nave F.een tne anna- rent hopelessness of ihoir attempts to expel tho imperial power to repalu possession of the lost joiuves, t:iuei, unu SLionsuoia3 10 Dame vtiin European tioops r.iid torsiun told to srain back their deserted lenders, er to re-establish their lost power. For & lone time thev were sus. taintd in their ctrussles by the prospect of aid from the Government or people ot the United States. They knew the strength and vior of our pro tests against the iorriirn intervention; tlicy knew the strength ol the popular leolin;' cstuiust M.ixi. milian; ttipy heard with iov tho exrressions of our preat Gent nils in their bobult", and knew that ttmilar seutiinents animated a jzreat portion ot our army, 'lnexr uoi.es were n-catly macdv lied v.hen luut suiumer they saw tun conceal ra tion ct our troor s olous the Kio Grande, find when thev saw in command of the Department of the Gulf a distinguished o!.cer, who made no secret ot Lis ciierness to ttnd an opportunity to a raw nit m. nr. I it ,.Fi.iu- ism. Hut uil hope based on thce things passed away be 'ore the close of last ycur. They discovered that the lixed policy of our Coveiiinaut was such as to iort.ll us uudertak-' in;? a war in their behalf; and that though we strongly (iuiipiiihir.e with the caut.e thoy xeprc sented una tho political principles they uphold, our Government would have to be allowed to exer cise its own judgment as to the course it should pin sue, tnd its own discretion a, to tu3time and method of pursuing it. ThPir discouragement ,on this discovery was us Great as their expecta tions hud been previously, aid since then' they have aone but little in the way of self-vindication amuest thc.r too powerful enemy. Their future prospects we tour are anything buthopciul. They can see no more than we can, any way by which thev eaa extricate Mexico from the lorei-ru yoke. Tberc is no more prospect of ra'ti'.ntr un iirmy or of raising money next year, than there U a pos,ibibty of doins so now; and many nie becoming so much aeeus tomcd to the present order f things that their action is continually becoming less energetic and their protests more feeble". We do not believe that Maximilian could sustain himself w ithout French aid, but it i3 evident that he has ss neou of it now than he had a year ago. There being scarcely any organized ru'lil-iry opposition in any quartrr, all the object for which troops are needed is the preservation ol order, and small garrisons stationed at the principal points are aufjeieut for lhat purpose. Tho old leaders of anarchy havinqr become attached to the throao irem motives that never b!ora bound them, to any cause, they wili La more likely te aJhero. to it tor se)lif.h purposes. Muxiiu ilnu has already ia his emi!oy a respectable. force of Mxioa troop, under European Onicers. aud with the Beleiaa contingent und tr.e troops he is pro mised from Austria, his thi'one may o upheld i for a time though tho French army wera all out of the country. As to the Emperor Napoleon's promise to withdraw this aimy, we have seen no reason whatever to doubt its xeoution in aoe seat-on. On the contrary, 1 hero are the best of reasons to bebevo its lullilraent, and thatbeibrotheclo.se of tho current yr-ar. Tha tiominy J'oxl, how ever, is ntill excessively impaUeut nboat the matter. Its urgency can brook bo delay what ever. It reopened the subject the othr evening, after havina laken thirty days, according to its own coniputiition, to oiiaider the articie pub lished in the Tm.isa on receipt of the Emperor's speech promising evaeuatiua. it demands of us "now that a whole month has elapsed'' what has become of the Emperor's agreement to withdraw lrom Mexico, which, thirty days ueo, formed such a splendid consummation to Mr. Seward's diplomacy, aud aavo 10 this country such "assurance ol peace." We suppose thW queition is intended to bo what the lranscenclestalists call n. ".innliHoln. ger;" but, in the same )in,'o, we misbt reply that we "don't eee it." Thirty days u nov a very great unstu ol time, even thoucrh U be eharao tenzed as a "whole montn." The Emperor did not promise to withdraw his army in thirtv duysj aud we do not think it would be sivmir him too much to let htm have twice orthrno that time in which to consummate his declared purpose. We will relieve tho auiaety ot the rk i i. t. j. i . ... - .I. i ... j tiw, iiuwever, oy itiiJii ; ii uiui wh nua an announcement in a number ot the ratrie, which has lately come to hand, thai thotirst contingent of 6000 men oi the French expeditionary lorce are already under orders to come homo, and will arrive in France lrom Mexico in the montii of June. Tho withdrawal of two other bodies of equal Etrength will leave Mexico clear ot frencu l-oldlers, unci will leave Maximilian to work out bis own salvation uivo up his aivon ture as a bad job. The Jt'utrie Qlves the roer! Dients uiat are to return drst, aud repeats tne announcement with such assurance thut we canr.ot. doubt its truth. We hope iLis will prove satisfiiCtory upfn this head, een to th'i inojt Impatient, and tha" the malicious ellorta to ab rupt our Irieadly relations with France will not be carried any limner. John StnnrtlUill in the Hon se of Commons. Frwm the Time$. Tlie news last summer that tho prcate3t living thinker and philosopher on political economy had been requested to stand for Parliament, wi received by the ttunkinac public of 1hl country with tho deepest interest. John Stuart Mill is known in every collejre aud academy through out tbt United States, and his scattered writings of late years on matter connected with rovem- ment, or on tbo moro abstract ueiu oi mriapuy nicH.liava licpn read with tne closest attention Of many who knew his standard works only as text books of a colleto cource. Tne remaiVable clearness, candor, and breadth of his intellect have impiessed every Air.irican reader. As a nilesophlcal radical ol the hilicn culture, he ns been enabled to present to all readers theo ries or aspects of social and E-overnmental ques tions w hieU would canny oe usteuea to irom any one else. His reply to the nomination by tee electors ol Westminster, and his speeches in tho canvass, added to tne interest wun wuicn nis nrst entry in political life was watched on this side of tho Atlantic, iney seemea to announce almost a nwrain tho i'ailiameutary W3 oi halnini. A cnndiciato accepting a uomtnattou, butretus- irj to pay eiectioa expenses, on ttia eronnd tuat he should servo tor the publio lalorjst, not for bis own, and declining to attend to local meassres, or to bind himself as to his position. never covennc lor an instant his ex'remc and radical viwws (as, lor instance, his admission of a wtiinan s speech m M. James Hall, and his do- nnnciaticn ol tne "iristi ttinrcn") utterly re fuaicft to use auy of the tricks or countenance the profligate expenditures customary in f'.BCtlish c-lectionSj was certainly a novel pheno menon iu the political sky of England. We em Id not believe that an English consti tuency were enlightened enough to elect such a candidate. His remarkable success ia the elec tion was a snrprise to all here who watched the vent. During tho laat month Mr. Mill has ma le his first appearance in Parliament Those wno know mm personally never nun a doubt ol his moral and intellectual success. Ho one could be more ready n debate, clover in repartee, or clear in statement, lie is evidently accustomed to argument, nud is lluent almost to a fault. H's mind Uus alwajs been occupied with just those points which come up bolore a body like Parliament questions ot practical administration, of econr.uy rind relonu. His views are pcrlectly wroitgh't out nd clear on all the cieat subjeeti liVclv to be presented. Then he has that qualification to -which ,)e are so accustomed in American political life, the bot qur.lity of a popular speaker or loader pcrlect courtesy to nil tnen of all rank", and a certain prencreitty, if not charity, ot sentiment. Mr. Mill aos'raot thiuUei a.id thoroieili re former as ho is is well kuow.i hero as n inoit rtllned gentleman and geneicts I'riond. lla has in bitr tiao mental ciipacitv of iri orator; that warm sympathy with heroism and the tne of indignation aqa nt oppression and wrong which ro olien infpire the highest llbutsol oratory. His only delect may be 'in his vant of practice in public speiikitig. Even this, however, may be overcome. But whether he shine as an ora tor or not, his acute aud searching thought, must alwas be felt on most quistiotis dis'JUied or reiorrecT to committees by Parliament. The accounts v.e receive thus far of- his utter ancs in Paiiie.raent felly lustily ah the expecta tions of bis friends hr re. It niusr, have needed the courano of a true reformer, for au E'isriish member, in the lull luce of a Fenian revolution, to havo given his vote, with a lew Iri: h mem bers, 1n lavor of a genuine eil'ort at redressing the abuics of' tne Irish vvsiern. To tpeaK with feeliug ol tiio wrongs of Janialci when the whole Pailiameat was aroused agvnst the rebellion of Ireland, nvty be a misv.vke iu the view ot the tltppant critk-iil cla'eB of Lon don; but it was n protest which Mr. Jlill owed to hi. inanity. That t.e should have changed a Government bill (that ot deteririnin.r the rati! of innaraac: lor cetlle killed by tho plague) by his liidt speech, was uhnt one misht expect from it mia J which had devoted so much labor to similar ((iiesaon?. His ergurcci't with ?lr l.owe, tha' the tax ought to tall not on tho consumers?, bin on the cattle- owners was unanswerable; iinl yet ho was eaten, as misht be expected, by a body made up 10 S.O luree a uegre.: uv lnnuiircw iniu o .Vilers of cattle, flis tirst uttack on the aristocracy was tmde w ith tiie utmost courtesy, thoush with the keenest rapier. It of course rendpr3 hirn unpopu- lr in an aristocratic body, and we shall hear all lie ortrans of this day trv to throw contemot on this "philosopher in Parliament " But Mr." Mill has a place which should not be vacant in .that cony. The .Liberals ncea sueti a scholar and critic in their runts. Mr. Bright's Blediie-hammer .'lows will have a most eiiicient aid in the keen thrusts of his intellectual ally. And when the great question of reform comes up, England will leel the value ol bavins so ncute a t binder and rational a reformer among her legislators. Tbe Eisht-IIour System. From th World. The question of reducing the Lours of daily labor to eitrht has, for &ote time, occupied asso ciations of workmen, and it engages more or le3 of the attention of the pre.s. In discus?lne; this question it -will conduce to clearness if va ex clude from consideration ull those classes of lrborera -who have no interest in the subiect. If tho hours of labor arc reduced, it will not ba by legislation, but by the control exerted by ' the various leagues of artisans over their own mem bers. They will succeed, if at all, by the same method by which such associations proouro the enfcanceict, or prevent tbo reduction, ot their waces. Heinj a qucstiou b-'ttveen employers and employed, we may lay out of viovr, id disoupsn It, all those classes of luoorers who are their own employers; happily, iu this country, by far tho greater number. the bull ol our lafctonns population cou?tsts of r..eu who cultivate, with their o.vn hands, their own modest faring and of mechanics who cn and work in their own shops a condit.on mere luvorable to independence, selt-rosnect. and character, than uny otlir. Tho eitrnt-hour oueoUon does not 'concern Mem.. They can, at their pleasure, nork oicht hours or fourteen. They are not likely to puzzle thernholves, or psr ulex oiherrt, as to whether as much labor cun bo dB in the -shorter as in the longer period. In J saftie parson, thL point neej-i no eluciiation. In seel time, and m tho harvest sea.rou, lnrmer3 will ton irom suurue iui uars, matting me most or their tinse to ollsei interruptions by bad v.ea tiier. for reasuns equally stron, they will always work more Louri in summer than in win ter. "With a majority of the mechanic? who own their own shoos, the pri'ssnre of customer is brink at some seasons, claci at others; and they naturally lio tneir utmost when tho demands upon them are urgent. L man who oivns a team, or possestes costly imtilemunia and machinery, cannot very well af.'om 10 let them stand idle Bixtcn hours oat of tho tweuty-tour; and ho must prolong his own labor to keep them in motion. Besides the larpe classes now described, we mtn;t exclude, as havtntc no interest in tha eight hoar question, tho multitude of employed arti sans w ho do whxtu called piece-work. Produc tion, not time, beinst tha mea.mrt oi' their com-pt-BHatioo, thew need no assistaice to deter mine, each forlnuiself, how many houra it ij ex pedient ior them to work. In all c.n-iloymouts yvhich afford scope lor varying deiieits of eor,ary or expert nu-s. it is for the lnterea". of good workmen to bo pa'.d bv tbo piece, and for tho Lutert oi the indolent or lCdS skilful to bo paid by the day. In such cases, the equal pay ment of all by the day is a premium on incapa pacity. In addition to employed artisans who work by the piece, we must also exclude sailors, whocau stickle for no hours, but must couform toi.th" exiceuoiea of the voyaae; house and hotel Servants; diaymen aud other teamsiors; railroad operati ves; soldiers, and several othor classes whoso employments are Inconsistent with tho f iht-hour sjs'tcm, and some ot them even with i the ol scrvance of Hmidry. When w have laid out of the discussion all thrfo excepted clas'-cs, we have but a small iiioiity ol the laboiing population of thin country kit; fittd of this smell minority. IhoBe only have an abiding interest in the eight-hour question, who do not expect to rine out. of the tlufs of mcie opeialives to lhat of masters of their own business. Tlioe who hnvo entirpriso and energy to work their way up to be their own employers, will be more iuclined to as how thev can earn the most wages than how they can work the lowest hours. All reasoning on this BUbjeet is beside the question, which is not ceii fineo to thoi e laborers who expect to spend their lite at work for hire, paid by the day nr w k, instead ol by the piece. v Iho question, then, reduces Ilsolf to this: Whether it is deairablo that the least enterprising and energetic class of laborers shall work fewer hours a Uy lhan the great mass of the laboring population ? If this is a correct, statement ot the question, it answers itself. Justico requires that those w ho perform tho least labor shall re ceive the smallest share of its products. If a ana jenty of laborers work ten or twelve hours a 'day, and the minority only eight, the latter should receive proportionally less compensa tion; in other words, thsy should be paid only in proportion s they produce. Their lack of energy to rise out of the condition of hired laborers, proves a necessity lor miking up by riilieence what they want in enterprise and ability. If they educate their children, or lay by a provision lor the decrepitude of old age, it musi come out of the surplus thsy can save lrom mere wages. If they work less than tho great body of laborers, they will cam less, receive less, save lcvs, fturc less. It is their truo in terest, in the fleeting years of their best vigor, to earn much, save something, and rise, if pos sible, to the more independent condition of solf emplcyed laborers. We cannot think it ior the advantage of the only class likely to demand the eiaht-hour system, thattlieir Lours of toil should be reduced below those of the other and moro considerable portion of the laboring community. Those who desire the eiht-hour svsteui say nipt, tne tm:o thus saved is wanted ior intellec tual cultivation. A creditable object, deserving the warmest encouragement I Hut- mere desul tory readirg is not mental culture; on the con trary, it is. if too much indulged, mental dissina tion and a source of mental debility. Tho ereat acQui&ttion. whether lor soholnr or for laborer. In a steady, robust, energetic will, the foundation of all excellence, moral aud intellectual. The scholar needs it to give him complete control of 1.1s attention, to enable bun to direct the whole foicc oi his oiind to the things it is his b'isines3 to understand, and to resist the seductions of that aimless curiosity ia which many a well endowed mind wauders and wastes itself. All men need it to give them that command of 1 he appetites and passions whicu la a chiet aim ot moral culture. But ths great faculty powtrlul and euereetic will is precisely the ttiiut.' m which the eight-hoar men are most likely to be dMirlent. It is Mie -w.mt of it which foi bid.s them to u; pi re to a better' condition than lhat ol hirtd laborers. Nothing would cultivate it moro chan the r.mbition to work, and save, ued rise. If mich people had six hours a day lor mentnl culture, they would provmbly waste them (like the mob ot so-called scholars) in aimless retuiiiiL'. The intellect ia improved only in pro. poition as it acquires ihe capacity tj term exact i and independent judgments on the subjects that come, beiore it; and, as b peneral rule,-great reacieis bestow iv transient attention on so many things that they have no power or precision on uny. In fevdal times the great landed proprietors gratilied their vanity by supportinsr multitudes oi line retain r. . nen nianti:acturc3 ana coin nieree iurnifhed them with c'her channels o expense, their retainers went to reinforce tha laborers. But that exchange of leisui lor labor was no los. If EOciet j coukl divest itselt ot the artilifial wants acquired in tlie last four cpntu ries, halt of cteht hours' labor a day would sup ply all its nettls. Uutlt society had fatten tha direction, its intelligence would not have toon improved by the resulting Visure. The beat prtof ot the Intelligence of tho artiiaa class i the skill exhibited in T&c-ir products; u Biuii lor w hich thero wouid bo no place it society hud not the ariicial wauti which it is the chief oiliee of tkilled labor to suoply. In proportion as there w ants beebme more retincd thero is a pteater tlrn aud for skill, and a higher develop ment of ihe faculties of the prtisaa clas. Iho arplrutions of laborers should not be to wards aimless, desultory reading, but towards the higher grades of industrial skill., Let ample time be given to the education of youth, in or derly ami exact studies, trainine their ininas to alertness, and imbuing tlietn with a love of tentity and grace. Among ininis opened by such culture, there would be an active competi tion for the employments requiring intellect and skill. The state of tho arts and tho condition of the artisan would improve together. All public and social duties would be more intelligently discharged by minds ihuB developed, than would ever be pcsdblo by those whose only montal culture consisted in skimming through bookn selected lor novelty and read from idle curiosity; which, we suppose, describes the iutsllectual cultivation soucht by a majority of those who would take the benefit of the eieiit-hour svstem. Pnspending iho Constitution The Danger ot the liepubiic. From the H,reJd. Every Radical saeijiber of Congress h ai a new plan of government for the United States in his pocket, or has offered ono to the House. Jail ing irom the proceedings in Congress "alone, from tho view taken ol the country by tho Radical party, we might suppose It was in the condition that France was in when a now con stitution was bURgested every day, and a new ono adopted once a fortnight. ' When the Na tioaal Assembly trampled the ancient monarchy under foot, and bat to lruine a constitution, France whs not more completely adrift with re sj ect to OiSanio law than we seem to bo now. All the pitiful theorists, all tho malignant fana tics, all tho corrupt echeniers.have substitute to otler for the Constitution framed by the fathers of the Republic, and still venerated by tho peo ple. Nearly fifty so-called amendments have been proposed. If only half of these were adopted, .the true Constitution would be buriod uuder the superimposed rubbish, its powers for good would he negatived by greater powers for evil, and the distinctive character oMhe (Jov ei nnicnt would be lost. W hat is the siirniticanco of all these proposed amendments I Is tho Constitution really bus penned or set aside ? That is the position of the radical faction, and they act on It. And as this laction rules, it is a practical fact that the Con stitution is set as;de so iar as tho action of Con gress coes. This is the issue between Congress and the President. The President, liko another Cato, adheres to the republic stands by the Government lhat has carried the country safely through eo many years; and the factions, finding the lull loperaiions of the Constitution inter rupted by the wur, eager to hold on to tho power given by that interruption, assume that the Con stitution is set aside, and endeavor to force upon the country systems more suitable to their lac t'lOtiis purposes. No point in our htstory has been more dan gerous ttoan this; and we may gee the real extent of this damer by comparing our position with analogous ones in tne history of other nations. Rome, England, and Frauce, inexhaustible ex amples of political ovils. show us how, in cases like the present, freedom lall3 a victim to the violence of taction. Rome, under the republi can svstem, had passed through a period of un paralleled growth aid erandeur. Her eovorn put was tuen teMed tremendously by the Punic, Macedonian, and Spanish war. It was shakpn in thoee strnpeles. Thev diturbed that nl:e equilibiiuiu of powers which ifa tho ulory and the safety of liee government, 'there was a great increaso iu the power of the Senate. That wss the first change i the Constitution, and it opened the door to all others, because the Legihlainre,corrupt, arrogant, thirsty lor power, would not permit tne tieuate to retrace lhat dau perous ttep when it was possible. That change that departure from the old system had beau forced by the occasions ot war; but it was dan gerousan evil and ought not to have outlived the circumt lances In which it prose. But the t-'enac would liet give way. It wns determined to hold cn to a preponderance of power tnat ersb'ed it to keep down tb.c elements iu tuo State likely to thwart its will. i All eense of the riehts of others, all raodeta- tion -n lotmcil, ell patriotic purposes were goae. I scticn, snort-sighted, insolent, menu, ruieu tne State, and freedom hud already perished. No tyrar.ny wa ever more oppressive thaa this of tho Legislature transcending it- power, trotniuis tyraany to that cl Marius wsfcft short stop, and it even' seemed to the people like an al.eviatioa of misery. Again, to Syl. a and to Pompey was only a change of taction", and It scmed only another change of the same character when Cn sar established the empire on the ruins of llctnan freedom. Thus, when the first step is taken, all tho rest are easy. we see the same sequence oi events in Tne (Treat rebellion in EngJand, when the grand strurgle ot a people lor freedom, perverted ny faetion, resulted only in the establishment of a acwlvranny. There also the iiecas'irics of the people compelled them to set aside the Consti tution. By the execution of Charles the Consti tution was dissolved, and the Parliament became a srpreme power. Jt did not kolci its power ior the public rood, ready to relinquish it wbnu the public good should require. It 4 id not ondeavor to settle tne peace ot tne country on a perma nent constitutional bait. It seemed determined to perpetuate its virtual sovereignty. Guided by taction only, it ignored tho great truth that every day that it kept the country in that uq set tles state was a any oi dinger. It ruled more oppressively than tho King had done. Then Cromwell seized tho supreme power, and tho treat strugglu for freedom failed in the very hour of Its success. It was tho same in France. The Constitution was thrown away by the revolution, and the Convention, by its Committee ot Gaiety, ruled wild tho most horn. ble atlluence of despotic barbarity. Torn by tbe varioas factious, the country lay prostrate, ready to become tho prey of any one bold caougli to seize the sovereign power. Such w as the post tion when the Direetorv, tho last of tho govern ing factious, was displaced by Napoleon, und the struggle that France had made for liberty served only to crown an adventurer. Our own situation is the same as that 6hown In these instances. Our constitution, limited in its operation by tho necessitias of war, is practically set aside by the party that rults in Congress. Congress has before it but tho ono obtious duty ol re-enablishiug the operation ot the law Jcr a elato of peace. Jt ignores or denies this duty. It insists upon holding on to this dangerous power, insists that tho Constitu tion is suspended, even superceded, and pro poses new planF. Wehavo thereiere a rciou ot fuctioB, and not of law, and in this condition any event is possible. The only hope of the nation lira in tho character of the people. They are wore intelligent; than tbo people ot otner nations, and their influence on tbe Government is more direct, xney only can prevent us iroui slidins into the despotism of faction, to bo fol lowed by tho despotism of some individual party leader. They, through the elections, niut-t ugoally rebuke tha despotic spirit tn which Congress now plays the dictator, or the inevitable .consequences of this Congresiioaal suspension of the Constitution will bo the destructiom of our freedom. How Cnnnda can get out of her Trouble. From tlie Herald. Between the intenre ferment .created by the hobgoblin of Feniani.sm, tho abrogation of the Reciprocity treaty, and the monarchical dodge of confederation, our poor Canadian neighbors are in the midst of a sea ot troubles. Their lead ing men are postering the peoplo about politics and reciprocity, and their invincible miltUa are in arms ready to hurl back to American shores any body of Fenians who may attempt to invade the Encred soil of Canada. Now there Is a very easy method by which our provincial cousins can be relieved of their Fenian afilictions, may be made to cease grumbling about reciprocity and to abate their lealousy aud irritation aboiit conlcderation. Let Canada come into tho Ameiicau I'nion. Wo have a seat for her in our republic; l.;r at tho adoption of the orieiual articles . of cunlcoeratiou of the bta'ea rrovicion was made witli a view to the ultimate annexation of Cannda to the Union. Vv'o will treat her kindly. Wo will even pay her debt?. She shail 6't at our festive board and partake of thp bountiful leasts which the gieal republic is ever ready to ofier to a free find lovul people. Canada will thereby b'como elevated, dignified, aud powerful. She will have no luither iear ot raids, or of retaliation for having lurnished a harbor lor land pirates and Rebels, as in the cpe ot the St. Albans piracy. In short, she mill, instead of beinsr a paltry, iso lated province, with nothimr to hopo for lrom tne nonae (Jovcrnment, out in continual dauber ot punishment lor the international crimes of the mother country, be placed under tho protec tion of the broad shield ot the Union, and share m our prosperity and glories. Tnro could be a better timo ior the Canadlaus to prouounse for annexation than the present; and once ac complished, a perltct panacea will bo applied to all their internal troubles and dangers. Come along, Canada. WATCHK8 AND JEWELRY 1 "O OUR PATRONS AND THE PUBLIC. We ore offering onr stock of WATCHES, JEWELRY, AND SILVERWARE, AT A DISCOUNT, Fully equivalent to tbe heavy dcclmo In Oold.
