A Gcaeral European War, or a Revolution
In France.
From the Herald.
Prussia emphatically refuse to accede to the
dcmaDd ofLouu Napoleon for the extension or
the eastern boundary of France to the Rhine.
Napoleon is further informed that the territories
in question will never be cedei by Prussia to
France. Ills warlike preparations and menaces
have not availed him. His calculations in regard
to the rectification of the European balance of
power have failed lust at the point where he
tad expected the rewards of his diplomacy to
bepin. liisniark has not enly checkmated niiu,
but he feels Butlictently strong to dety him.
Bubnitseion to such audacity is not a Napoleonic
nor a French idea. Prussia must be punished
for her. presumption, or the French Emperor
will eoon find that he has fallen into disgrace
anions the French people. To make ffood hia
promises to them oi the extension oi the empire
he must put his army in motion towards the
Rhine, or sooner than he dreams of he may be
called to grapple with the revolutionary ele
ments ol tho barricades. lie is at last pushed
into that ugly dilemma in which his choice of
alternatives is limited to a geueral European
war or a revolution in France.
Peace in Europe, theretore, Is not secured,
though. Austria in submission at the feet ot
Prussia and Italy, without a remonstrance,
yields to all their demands. She scooted the
peace conference proposed by Napoleon before
the war, because she -?avr that tbe conference
-was a snare, in which, North and South, she
-was set apart for spoliation. In his letter upon
this subject to his Minister for Foreign Affairs,
explaining tho objects and hopes he hai enter
lamed fit this rejected conterence, Napoleon
jrankly revealed his plans and expectations.
His plans Involve a pretty general reconstruc
tion ot. Central Europe for the aggrandizement
of France at the expense of Prussia and Italy,
and tbe enlargement of Italy and Prussia at the
expense of Austria. He had expected the honor
of reorganizing the German Bund upon the plan
of his uncle's confederation of the Kli ne, and
of securing this river boundary lor France by
that peculiar voice of the people which he has
learned so well to manage through his Napo
leonic sytcni of universal sudrage. He has
told us that his plan was thus to submit the
question to the Germans along tbe Rhino
"whether they would remain with their brethren
or be annexed to France. Undoubtedly under
his management tbe German vote lor annexation
would be as decisive as was that of the Mexicans
for Maximilian.
A few days before these interesting disclosures,
confident of the complete success ot his schemes
as arranged with Bismark aud King Victor Ema
nuel, the over conhdent Napoleon, in that saucy
littlo speech at Auxerre, proclaimed to Europe
his detestation of those treaties of 1815. He
meant to upet them. He intended to wipe out
the boundaries prescribed for France by the
Holy Alliance, and to revive the empire as it
stood before tbe disastrous day of Leipsic, yea,
as it was just before that fatal expedition to
Moscow. The minds of the French people have
during the last twelve months been tilled with
But h notions of tbe restoration of the empire by
the nephew of bis uncle in all its glory. Hence
the danger that will follow to Napoleon in
France it peace is re-established between Prus
sia, Italy, and Austria without the acquisition
to Franco of the left bank of the Rhine.
He demands this boundary. Prussia posi
tively refuses it, and eo it appears to us tbe
empire is no longer peace. Napoleon, ballled in
his diplomacy, must try the old Imperial game
of war. Assuming that he will try it, what are
his prospects of success f They are exceedingly
unpromising. He has a splendid army admira
bly equipped, and his financial establishment is
In a prosperous condition. But the odds are
heavily against him. The new Germanic Con
federation of tbe North, under the new military
system of Prussia, will '3e more than a match
for him. Under the Great Frederick the little
Prussian kingdom of his day successively lought
the powerful coalition of France, Austria, and
other States. Her success was due to her supe
rior military organization and the high indi
vidual training of her troops. Her late suc
cesses against Austria are due to the same
causes. - We have no doubt that the Prussian
army at this time, in discipline, equipment, and
organization, in the intelligence of its soldiers,
and in their unity and efficiency in the field, is
iar ahead of any other army in Europe. Prus
sia, too, in becoming the accepted head of the
Jerman family of States and Principalities, can
now.it necessary, easily enlaree her army lor
the defense of the Rhine to a million of fighting
men.
How is Napoleon to meet this tremendous
power rallied lor the defense of the sacred soil
ot uermanyr He cannot succeea against n
single-handed, and what States are to be bis
allies ? Austria cannot help herself, and Italy
is under toe most binding obligations to Prussia.
KuKsia, we know, regards the nephew with the
feelings ot the old Holy Alliance towards the
uncle, and England, we are sure, would rejoice
at the opportunity for insuring his downfall
His only reliance is the Holy Father of Rome,
and he can do very little as an ally in arms.
Moreover, the Ceesarism, the Roman Imperialism
and despotism set up by this Napoleon, as the
model of boo i government, is distasteful to all
the populations of all the nations of Europe.
He Is thus without a reliable foothold among
the rulers of the peoples of Europe, not except
ing tbe people of France. He has so far borne
himself, in his wars and his diplomacy, like an
adventurer upon his good behavier; but let him
presume to trespass upon the rights of his
neighbors and they will combine to crush him.
It is probable, therefore, whether he shall
choose the hazards of a continental war or the
dangers of a French revolution, that the empire
of the third Napoleon approaches the crisis oi
life or death. Ihere are good reasons to fear
that, from the necessities of his position,
Europe is on the verge of a general war,
and that the sun ot the present Ca-sar of
France will go down in the smoke of another
Waterloo.
Mr. Johnson's Friends.
From the Tribune. i,
When Andrew Jobmson was elected to the
post whet ce the dagger of Wilkes Booth trans
lated him to the White House, nearly half of
those now assembled in Philadelphia to com
mend and support him were lighting desperately
to divide the Union, while another third were
doing their very best in the Union to defeat
him and elect an ultra "Peace" Copperhead In
his place. Mr. Pendleton had consistently
voted in Congress precisely as the Rebels would
have had him. We can recall no single Instance
in which his vote would have b?en disapproved
by Jefferson Davis. Governor Orr was a fighting
Rebel. Mr. Robert C. Winthrop was a talking
sjopperueuu. ji is uuw yreienaea mat Mr.
Johnson is walking carefully in the path that
vouia nave Deen irouueu uy Auranam Lincoln.
If this were true, would be have gathered
around him the speckled crowd now congre
gated in Philadelphia? Can vou believe that
following in the footsteps of Abraham Lincoln
would have won tor Mr. Johnson snch an extra
ordinary conglomeration oi support f
Again: Every negro in tbe land regardod
Abraham Lincoln with affection, and hoped
everything from his continuance in otllce, while
every Rebel sympathizer detested and execrated
him. JVC . no negro hones for any good from
Andrew Johnson, while every Copperhead is
vociferous in in praise. Can you suppose both
rJ&sM-a utterlv deceived? . ..
Mr. John A, Dix said, in taking the chair at
.the Randall gathering on Tuesday, tuat
' "Whra the President of the United Sut" had de
clared tost tbe wr nad ceased, ad the States bad
Ui right to represenUMon. The ex actio oi new
conditions is subversive of our national liberty ana
dangerous to publio peace. ( Loud applause. )"
If this be o, then what an troc!ou usurper
must Andrew Johnson be, in piling exaction on
exaction on the States lately In revolt, as pre
requisites to their restoration ! Do but consider
thin:
WAsnisoTOH, October 28 His Excolleney James
Johnson, Provisional Oovornor of Ueorgia: Your
several telegrams bsve been received. The I'resliloni
ot the United Status cannot recognize any State as
having resumed the relations ot loyalty to the Union
that admits as legal obligations coir racted debts or
created in tbeir name to promote the war of the Be
bcllioD. William U. Sicward.
'How would General Dix it his bread and
butter were secure deal with the exactcr of
these "new conditions?"
Mr. Robert C. Winthrop attempts to mis
state the action and position of Congress with
regard to reconstruction. He says:
"Moot bappily, Congress did not adjonrn with on t
admitting to tnoir soat the Senators aud Represents
tivea from Tennessee; but that veryaot ha rendored
tt all the more difficult to discover anything of con
stitutional principle, or anything of truo national
policy, in its persistent denial of all representation
to tbe other fcouthorn Stales."
Tbe delegation from Tennessee was admitted
to seats in either House of Con tress on terms
openly presented to every State lately in revolt,
as Mr. Winthrop well knows. South Carolina
could have come in at the same time, and may
come in at any time, on the terms accepted by
Tennessee. Why, then, does a man ot Mr.
Winihrop's antecedents talk of the representa
tion of Tennessee as exceptional, and assert that
there is a "persistent denial of ail representa
tion to tbe other Southern States?" In this age
of general intelligence, what is to be gained by
such frauds?
Governor Orr, of South Carolina, says:
"Fellow-eitizons, we have been knocking at the
door lor eight long months, a-king Centres to
admit us.' if we ate not to be trusted no, when are
we to be trotted? Is it just that we should be ex
cludod from these privilege-.? No! Fortne nvnt of
xepreseniatiou is regardod as one ot tne most sacred
rights in the country. Is it Just or fair or generous
that we should be excluded from legislation while
taxes are impesod upon us witliout our consent?"
Governor Orr is one of the Rebel minority of
the people of South Carolina. That minority
denies to tbe luitre majority any voice whatever
in making tbe laws by which, tney are gov
erned, or in levying the taxes which they must
pav. "Is it lust, or fair, or generous," that the
40,000 loval blacks ot South Carolina should be
excluded" not only from all representation in
Congress, but from all voice in thp legislation
of their own Stute, "wiile taxes are imposed on
them without tLelr consent?" We measure
Governor Orr in bis own bushel. Whenever he
will bring his 300,000 confederates in the late
Rebellion to accord to tneir loyal black fellow
Carolinians the rights abcady enjoyed by them
selves, we will do our utmost to have him and
his colleagues admitted to seats in Congress.
Is not this fair? Nav, are we not in honor
bound to stand by our fellow Unionists of South
Carolina, who, though a majority ol the whole
people, are denied bv Orr & Co. all voice in
making the laws by which they an- governed?
When he and his set are ready to do justice to
their Unionist teliow-citizens,"we will entreat
Congress to deal generoii'ly by them. But then
no entreaties will be needed.
Tbe Martyr President The True Way ot
Doing Him llonoi.
From the Times.
The opponents of the President, In their efforts
upon the stump, hitbitually accompany attacks
upon his policy with regretful allusions to the
departed Lincoln, who is represented as having
occupied a position exactly opposite to that
held by his successor. Mr. Speaker Colfax, in
Indiana, and Mr. ex-Postmaster-General Denni
son, in Ohio, have resorted to this artifice within
the last few days. Their aim is apparent. It is
to use the dead to damage the living. And to
accomplish this, Mr. Lincoln is described as an
adherent of a policy with which the Congre-s
that now is would have been satisBedV "Had
Mr. Lincoln lived, there would have been no
trouble about the South," is the burden of the
radical song. "With Mr. Lincoln in power,
Congress would have pursued its course unob
btructed," is the plain Import of all these radical
references to the maitjr President.
To call this disingenuousness is scarcely to do
it justice. It is pure, unadulterated dishonesty,
Mr. Lincoln may not have had all of Mr. John
son's robust pugnacl ty, but he had the same
purposes, relied upon the same means, and in
bis lifetime encountered the same species of
Hostility, in its essence, tne policy ot tne living
President is the policy of his predecessor. The
principles to which Johnson Inflexibly adheres
are the principles to which Lincoln was openly
and unequivocally committed. Every measure
that has been adopted by the President we now
have is a part ot the legacy he inherited on his
advent to power. For all that he has dono he
has a justification in the avowed plans and
opinions of bira to whom the radicals no w render
a hypocritical nomage.
There is not one of the views insisted upon by
the radicals which can boast ot the sauction ot
Mr. Lincoln's name. Their dislike to his
renominalion, as expressed by Mr. Thaddeus
Stevens, is Drool Bumcieut mat tney nan men
sured the man, and found iiim too lofty tor their
standard. His generous suture spurned the
notion of vindiciive punishment. He bad put
his foot down upon all schemes ot confiscation,
disfranchisement, and disunion. He never forgot
that the war was waged to restore the Union,
and that being accomplished, he had no thought
of probation, or penalties, or conditions, save t he
single con Ol uon oi acquiescence in tuo Known
results ot the counici. nesentmcnis, or ex
clusions, or stipulations were, in hLs Judg
ment, impolitic, hs well as degrading to the
victorious power. His great anxiety was to
restore unity to the nation with tne least possi
ble delay, and to achieve this he was willing to
receive deck tne sotittt witu open arms ana me
warmth ot a maguaninious heart. JuJging trom
what is known ot his intentions, iroin nis words
and acts, Mr. Lincoln, had ne lived, would have
been even less exacting than Mr. Johnson; he
would have invited the South to resume its
constitutional lunctious In every respeetj Rnd
he would huve insisted upon its right to imme
diate representation In Congress. Wo say tais
not bypotbet'cally or a a matter of guess-woric,
but in lull view of Mr. Lincoln's plans, as from
time to time proclairoad by himself. Of this,
therefore, we arc co.ifl.dent. that had he lived
his policy would have been identical with that
tor which President J jhnaon contends, and the
radical ahuse now heaped upon auocher would
have fallen upon his head.
Both Messrs. Col 'ax and Dennlson, then, pre
sume upon the forgctfulness ol the public when
they venture to compliment Mr. Liucoln at the
expense of Mr. Johnson. Tbe country remem
bers that conspicuous radicals complained of
Mr. Lincoln ere he was murdered, as too
friendly to the Sonth to please their taste; and
it remembers, also, that divers reverends, hold
ing high places in tbe radical church, blasphem
ously ascribed the murder to the Providential
appreciation of the want of a sterner man to
punish the Southern people. Mr. Lincoln had
not a spark of radicalism in his composition,
lie was, as President Johnson la, a sound, con
servative, constitution champion ot the
Union, aud was detested by the radicals in con
sen uence.
Mr. Colfax, we believe, was one of Mr. Lin
coln's friends. Ho has, however, a dubious
method ot showing bis friendship. To place tho
dead in a false light before the world to use
the memory of the dead as a means of assailing
one who took up the task and adopted the
policy of the dead is surely not the part of
tnendship, nor of generosity or lustlee. The true
way ot honoring Mr. Lincoln would seem to be
to aid in consummating the work which he left
unfinished in the spirit in which he began it.
And there is no more efficient way of doing this
than by helping President Johnson, and putting
down the radicals.
The Philadelphia Convention.
From the World.
By the voluntary good sense of Mr. Wood and
the icluctant amenability to persuasion of Mr.
Vallandigham, the Convention is relieved of
every penonal element ot disturbance, and will
be able to conduct it proceedings with the dig
nity, harmony, and decorum which befit a great
national conference. The utmost good feeling
prevails both among the delegates and the in
terested multitudes who visit Philadelphia as
spectators, and especially between the long
severed citizens of the North and the South.
But on the first day little was expecteJ. The
Convention met; chose for temporary chairman
General Dix, who made a very apt and patriotic
speech; appointed the necessary committees on
credentials, organization, and resolutions; and
then auiouriied, on motion of Hon. Montgomery
Blair.
Where the renewal of Intercourse and the
cultivation of amicable feelings form so essential
a part of the motives for which the Convention
essemblt s. baste would do more to obstruct than
to expedite its objects. There is an old German
play in which a certain kind of ecntimcntalism,
is burlesqued by introaucing two characters,
fie i feet strangers' to each ot her, who rusn at once
uto each other's arms and cry, "Let us swear
an eternal friendship!" The renewal of a friend
ship which shall be eternal, between the North
and the South, is desirable; but as a solid friend
ship mu-t rest on mutual acquaintance and
appieciatlon, it cannot be of quite so sudden
growth.
The business of the Convention is proceeding
with the ordinary celerity of such a body, and
we trust that no etlort will be made to push It.
The eyes of the whole country are fixed upon
this body, and it ought not to ad)ourn until
ample time has been adbrded tor a lull ex
pression of their sentiments by all the leading
Southern members. The South has been so
per-istenily calumniated and villtied since the
close of the war, and so unwarrantably pre
vented from exhibiting its views in Congress,
that tbe country ought to be afforded an
opportunity ot seeing what manner of men
leading Southern citizens are. Twenty or
thirty speeches like the admirable one of Gov
ernor Orr would confound and silence their
radical calu mniators.
The Convention.
From the Daily A'ewi.
Certain delegates selected to represent Demo
cratic constituencies at the Philadelphia Con
vention have determined not to urge their
claim to scats, in the face of any opposition
calculated to dlf-turb tbe harmony of the assem
blage. The motive ! an honorable oue, and,
doubtless, the action of these gpnileinen Is to be
commended; but it is much to be regretted that
the Convention should be influenced at all by R
any such spirit of proscription as would even
suggest tbe withdrawal of duly accredited dele
gates. If the parties withdrawing are, in their i
individual opinions, in antagonism with the
sentiment of the great body ot the Convention,
they certii.nl could not control its proceedings;
If, on the contrary, tbeir views are those of the i
majority, the propriety of their presence and
participation is btill "leBs to be disputed. It
is not in view of existing issues that
this sentiment of proscription is bold;
for it is founded upon the political antece
del ta of individuals, in regard to questions
that have ceased to be a subject of controversy
in the political arena. In originating and
organizing a movement confessedly tor the pur
pose of harmonizing all the elements that can
be opposed to radicalism, it is a most inludicious
policy to begin with ostracising any of tho
friends of that purpose. The men who in the
Norib, live years aeo, earnestly and conscien
tiously opposed tbe doctrine of armed coercion
ot the States have no intention to advociue that
principle in tne Convention. The ques ions to
be debated there areenrirel.y distinct from rhose
that were the subject of contention be lore the
war and during its progress. As justly might
these be excluded lroni the conservative cainp
who vere opposed to the Mexican war or to the
campaign sgainst the Florida Indians. These
issues are all dead; but, so tar as this campaign
is concerned, they are not mote tborouehly dis
posed ot than the theories maintained by the
Federal arms in the late struggle.
In all sincerity we invoice a liberal spirit to
guide tbe organization of the conservative
party. The gentlemen Mho have withdrawn
irom the Convention have demonstrated that
they, at least, had no ambition in this move
ment beyond the desire to do it service, as best
they micht, whether as delegates or as simple
servants ot the cause. If, throush their absence,
sny element of discord will be avoided, they
will doubtless have attained their object. Then
let us hope that the remaining delegates will
equally ignore all personal considerations, and
will apply themselves, upon broad, liberal, and
nationul principles, to the attainment ot the
object lor which the Convention was called.
And first, they must feel that the memories of
the civil strife tuiouah which wo have passed
should find no expression beneath the roof of
that wigwam dedicated to tbe cause ot fraternal
union.
The Convention is not a tribunal before which
lo discuss the wronirs, the enmities, the antago
nisms of the past; but an assemblage of the re
presentatives ot the people in council, gathered
to plve utterance to the popular will, niisinter
j preted and thwarted by a taction that has
usurped the powers ot national legislation. The
voice of true patriotism will pronounce there
no word designed to Drovoke recollpctions of
the strife between the sections. The languaee
ot censure, even ot criticism, upon the events
of that unhappy war will not be heard while
conservative influence controls the action of that
body. And much less, in the presence of the
representatives of the Kiuthern people, will any
doctrine be advanced humiliating to the Sonth,
otlensive to Southern prid, or repugnant to the
leelinea ol those who shared the fortunes of the
Coinederacy.
We are convinced that the Southern delegates
will not be over-sensitive: that tbey will exhibit
neither temper nor awkward susceptiDility in
debating questions that may reflect upon tbe
events and results of tne war; but still ft is due
to their position and to the interests of tbe Con
servative cause to avoid dracgiug the history or
the sentiments of the past into tbe deliberations
of the Convention. Let the panegyrics upon
"loyalty" and the anathemas upon " treason' be
dit-pensed with on this occasion. Let there be
no recrimination, no provocation to the expres
sion ot sectional prejudices; that the Conven
tion, having fulfilled its mission, may in its very
record rebuke radicalism by proving to the Re
public that the elements of concord and union
still exist, and that a Congress of the true repre
sentatives ol the people, North and South, can
meet and deliberate harmoniously and with a
purely national spirit.
France possesses more than one hundred
public libraries, open freely to all comers, with
out distinction of person, rank, or country;
Austria and Prussia together have nearly 80;
liavarlu. 17: Beltnum. 14: and other European
Irinedoms have a fair share. Until the passing
of Mr. Ewart s act, in lbou, tor enabling town
councils to establish public libraries and muse
ums, England had the unhappy pre-eminence ot
beins without a single strictly tree publio
library. Paris now possesses seven nerfectlv
tree publio libraries, Vienna has three, and
Berlin two.
Recently, Mr. D. D. Home, after having been
for some time arnounced to appear at the St.
James Theatre, London, as "Mr. Oakley," in the
Jealous Wife, and having withdrawn bis name
because tbe part was unsutted to him, appeared
at the Hew itoyaity Theatre, supported by a
