Pain= politics are the mead embed of irony for

Is Framer where the revoletioaary whirlpool him
tamed men and things topsy-turvy so many times in
the kat seventy years, this sort of conoistancy, and this
met of respectability in public men, are utterly out
the qesetioo, and it is very often mach more the fault
of the whirlpool than of the men, if they appear to m
to change sides and faces so often, and to tarn op in
sate unexpected attitudes. When the present Ent-
pair of the Fat.Neu, or Count WALIWIEI in his
name, was using violent language towards
Switzerland became the Federal submit= de-
clined to renounce the rights of hospitality, we
remembered that ones upon a time the Burma
himself had been an exile, and that a tartan Federal
Republic had given him • refuge at the risk of war
with a neighbouring power. When the Emperor of
the FIINCR, or M. DI PIIISIOPIT in his name, de-
nounced the asylum accorded by England to French
refugees, and almost accused England of complicity
with assassins, we recalled a certain expedition to
Doelogne, a certain trial before the Chamber of
Peers, and a certain sojourn of no brief duration in
this land of incriminated hospitality.
We cannot help feeling, in short, that there see
lips from which any nuntion of fidelity to oaths, of
respect for =mutated authorities, and wandry other
public and private virtues, falls very like • same=
upon all that is held meet sawed =an hem= men.
Bat the public life eves of honest men in Fames
reeds like an epigram of fortune or of fate. Take the
prameetiee of M. DI MORTOLIMBILIT for example.
Seventeen years ago this eminent and aoarageons
men wee brought before the Police Correetionnelle

by ter then liberal and eo untidier' advisers of the:
Illemerry of July; and now oar mere be is
annigoed before the sans* tribunal, though not
been the err judges, by the firead Empire, for
whisk the Monarchy of July strewed the way with
Bonapartist anesortslirs, and which has ret•rned
des compliment by confiscating the posserons of
the Hour of OILIAIII. Seventeen years ago M.l
DZ MONTALLMIIIIT wee indicted foe the virulence
of his oppositioa to the existing Goverement. Tho
Government was disposed to check the eserseh-
meats of the Catholic Couch M. DE MONTALIZI-
DRAT horned with the fiery zeal of en apostle of
LANZZINAIA, end fought for the beatific vision of •
Catholic democracy, in which the world soald
be divided between the populace and the
Pots. He was then the bitter enemy et,
the University of France, as the seat of •
purely secular instruction ; among his nearest
political supportvrl and fellow enterers in the present
year of Imperial grace, the foremost, we apprehend,
have issued from the ranks of the University.
M. DE Witseeissiane's seal for his Church has
never relaxed; in 1818 he wasthesameardent apologist
fix scelmiestied privileges that ho had been in 1331,
and in 1343. In 1847 he was the organ of the Swim
'emit Seselerbund, is the Chamber of Peers. In
1349 be wee the ardent champion of the Pope in the
National Assembly. And now, in 1838, he is in-
sulted, barged, and condemned, by the meet fa-
vored lad intimate advisers and advocates of the
Papal policy ; he is brought to trial by the " Eldest
" son of the Church," because be bee presumed to de-
fend from monstrous Wetmore a Christian people,
and • people allied with Frames. Daring the
best years of his life all the energy of
his powerful intellect was spent in claim-
ing liberty for the Church, and lo! the use the
Church has made of her liberty when all around
bar is relayed. Italian Liberals, in whose ern sWI
ring the echoes of that eloquent voice, which demanded
the 'oppression of liberty at Rome for the good of the
Catholic world, may well be pardoned for an imper-
fect sympathy with a great writer's nuavailiag aspira-
tions and regrets. And yet we, who can survey
dispassionately the career et M. DE MONTALIMBIZT,

peresive that he has been the sport or events rather
than of any inconsistencies of his own, and that whilst
events are conducted by an inscrutable logic to
Inevitable conclusions, a man's opinions may be at
twee supremely illogical and fatally cousistent The
%era Catholic of '3l la the liberal Catholic in '66,
hut Catholicism, never liberal except pro domino-
Wow, being once more fres to tyrannise, is once
ware the friend of tyranny.
The Conrt of Correctional Police will present a
curious and instructive spectacle of political "re-
•sages" on Wednesday next. The bre-long
champion of Catholic " liberties"—the chief of the
reaction in the National Assemblies—the Conserva-
tive by instinct, by family tradition, by birth, by
name, and by fortune--the man whose pure name
the men of Leormber borrowed without license fur a
day, to dazzle and deceive the conscience of honest
men withal, will be accused by the law officers of a
man who was a rebel against the POPS is his youth,
• conspirator fur eighteen years, a breaker of public
law, and • disturber of public order, until by fore*
aid fraud be bad trampled law into the dust,
and made order his footstool: 31. Di Yort-
►tsyacat will be accassd, we nay, by
Louis NAPOLLON BONAPAITL of attacking the

respect due to the laws, and instigating his country
men to civil war. He wills defended bethe illus-
trious advocate who, though eitihful Royeihk pad

rebel of Boulogne, the apbrir et Ns keiblr the
FIRST, and from '4B to 'BO, threw the shield of his
own honour between the PRZIPIDINT of the RAPUBLIC
sad the representatives of the people. Beside M.
Roam will be seen M. DC VAITRE, who, ea
Minister of the Republic, brought in a bill to
restrain the liberty of the press, and who
wee once the minister of the present Benito&
M. Durstrze will defend the Correspoidant. But
the irony of the proceedings will not be only in the
pest and present history of the defendant and his
amina•L Bimple.minded observers will look to the
indicted pompom in the article itself, and they will
ask with reasonable surprise, How come it that ass
of the meet devoted Catholics and Conservatives in

Europe is arraigned for defending a Liberal
and Protestant people against the rabid libel of
Papistleaf pamphleteers, and that the " august Ally

and English institutions, to which be owed a shelter
in adversity, maks to punish ea a crime of treason

How It is that whilst week after week, and almost
day after day, the Preach press teems with a rank
growth of false and infamous outrages on England,
prophesies of her decline, exaltations over her fall,
prerogatives to a piratical descent upon ber:skores,
these flyteg•eheeta of stupid malice are not
only tolerated, but authorised—not only:suffered,
bat stamped by the censorship, while MONTALLY-
MILT is-proseouted ? The future must solve these
enigmas enigmas. Bat with such a spectacle before
their eyes, can we wonder at the confusion of the
public mind and the corruption of the moral sense in

The New York Herald thus speaks of the late
State election. :
In New York the republicans have carried their State
ticket by probably twenty tbouaaad majority, elected twenty-
saves of the thirty-three members of the next Ccogress, and
have returned • large ntsjority to the Assembly. Both
branches of the next legiabitaue will thus be largely repub-
limn. In the city, however all the deoroarado nominees
for comity amain have boa ei;oted, together with four of the
six Convention, and twelve of the seventeen members of
Ammo*. It is said that Kr. Williamson will contest the
sheiks at Mr. Sickles to Coeurreu from the third district.
In New Jassy the republicans lure chosen • foll delega-
tion to the next Congreee.
The republicans have elected all their candidates for State
sinners end Congress in bismachneene ; and the same re.
mirk will apply to Wisconsin.

Repartefram various quirts* render it highly probable
that Judge Douglas has triumphed in nitwit. ♦ despatch
from Chicago states that the republicans there concede •
majority in each brooch of the legislature favourable to Mr.
Douglas. Five democratic members of Congress have been
ohms.

The returns from Michigan are meagre and unsatisfactory,
bat beyond doubt the. republicans have mainulined their
1w: cadency.

In view of a possible complication of affairs in

which was wrecked at sea. Bight lives were lost on

Yellow fever had ceased at New Orleans, bat
was prevailing with great virulence at Galveston,
Texas.

A "killing frost " is reported to have occurred at
Mobile and other parts of the south.
