The Right OF POPULAR AIIiance.

The Right Of Popular Alliance.
On the nineteenth Of November, 1892, The
people Of France, through their Nationa
Convention, offered paternity, and brother
hood 10 the oppressed throughout the world
who were laboring TO prostrat despotism, anG
who might wish TO aid them in making the
: world, world Of Republics.
This was regarded by the European mon
arches as an insult viii ch demanded nothing
less than war of determination. 1t was
indeed, on the part of the French Republic
declaration Of war against the pernicious
principles upon which the despoiisms Of
s Europe were based. For this cause England
and her continental allies went 10 war with
France, and began that horrid drama which
for twenty years deluged the world in blood
Since the period Of the French Revolution
opinion has undergone, and is now undergo
ing radical change in relation TO the right
Of the people of one nation 10 interfere with
the internal regulations of an other, when
those internal Regulations reduce the subjects
10 slavery.
Liberty isa boon of celestial origon--com,
m'tted to the keeping of the whole family O. f
man--like that glorious Republic which
loomed up above the blood and carnage of the
French revolution, it is zone and ndivisible. ,
The world hold, and ought TO defend it as
tenants in common to the great Author hnd
Donor. When the rights of man arc tramped
in any, even the most obscure, corner of the
world, it tends to bring the divine tenure by
which they are held in the world at large into
contempt De$pots confederate for ,he pur-
pose of riveting moro closely the chains of
slavery, and this isregarded as holy alliance!
But when men, as men, offer TO unite with
their fellow man for the overthrow of tyranny;
they commit a deadly offence against the
sacred law OF nations! So long as Govern
ments conine themselves to coalition with
monarchy and despots, torender their opprcs-
sions less tolerable, it is all right. But if a
Government offer therght hand of fellow
ship to the cnslaved subjects, and offer 10
aid them in prostratiag their tyrants It is all
wrong, revolutionary, destructive of civil
society, Such at least are the clamors of
despotism.
The potent spell thrown over mankind by
this clamoris is being dissolved. The lapse of
few years will entirely rob it of IFS power 10
awe and subdue; and the effort of a people 10
rend their chains will be the signal for the
arousing Of the human race, and uniting
them for the accomplishment of the great OBJ
ject and aim Of the present age, the disen-
thrallment Of the human race. B.
DISPLAY OF SpIRIT.--The term of service
Of the Hon. John M, Berrien, Senator in
Congress from Georgia, was to expire on the
4,h of March, ls47; and he expected re-
nominations but caucus Of whig members
Of the legislature now in session put in NOM
ination Hon. Charles Dougherty by vote Of
more than two to one. As soon as the result
was known, Mr.. Berrien sent in his resigna.
ton! This was quite an dgreeable display
Of wrath.
The wings Of Georgia do not like Mr. Ber-
rien's ultra views in favor of protective Tar
iffi neither did they fancy his opposition to
the admission of Texas.
oREeoN.--On the Webster scheme the N.
y. Morning News says:-
"Neither the subtle diplomacy of England,
nor the antiquated dreams of the French phi
losophers, can restrain the bold march ofRe-
publican America, even though they may
WELD the vast intellect of the "greatest and
best" as an instrument. The inherent nation
ality Of the American people is not to be
confined TO any surface of ground or any ex-
ercise of authority. When the increasing
tide of population pours down the slopes of
the Rocky Mountains to the verge of the
Pacific the name of Washington will, to the
remotest ages, be the bond of union, and on
either side of the ridge the blood will still
start at the memory of our achievments.- -
The stars and stripes will be as potent pro-
tector in the Bay of San Francisco as in that
Of Massachusetts. The growth Of this Union
and Of Republican principles is irresistible,
and not to be staid even with the help oftho
Rocky Mountains.
