The Constitution of Republics-The Fcar
Of the EnRllsh-Thc Effect OF Amcri
Liberty In Europe.

The prospect Of purely elective government in
France, not to say Germany also, naturally d.
reefs our attention TO the working of that policy.
Should the constitution. makers OF Paris and Frank
fort attain the success denied to so many of their
predecessors, England will have good deal to do
with the Vicar of the Empire and the President of
the Republic. OF imitation there is little chance.
Even the great Anglo Saxon federation across the
Atlantic, though 1t betIays the deep fund of re-
IubIcan feeling In our race, and must be con-
sdcred successful, has exercised rather repulsive
than an attractive influence our national pre-
JUDGES. Much less are we likely to do anything
simply because the French or the Germans have
set the example five are to look out for danger,
il consists rather in the extent to which the foreign
policy of our republican neighbors are likely to be
swayed by their internal struggles, by the tyranny
Of party, and the trucking Of expectants. That
this danger exists more or less in every State, we
do net deny The most despotic prince will some
times let loose on his neIghbors the popular rest

While Gen. Csss was disparging the services
and fame of the immortal Father of his County,
at the sumptuous Court Of the King of the
French, it was reserved for distinguished Brit
lsh statesman to render due honor TO his memory.
In contrast with the extract Published last week
from Gen. Cass's pamphlet, take the following
more honorable testimony from Lord Brougham' S
reigns of the two last Georges:
This is the consummatc glory Of the great
American; Triumphant warrior where the
most sanguine had right TO despair a success
iu ruler IN all the difficulties OF course wholly
untried; but warrior, whose sword only left
its sheath when the first law Of our nature COM
manded it to be drawn; and ruler who having
tasted OF supreme power, gently and unostenta-
tously desired that the cup might pass from him,
nor would suffer more to wet his lips than the
most solemn and sacred duty to his country and
his God required
To his latest breath did this great patriot
maintain the noble character of a captain the pa
iron of peace, and statesman the friend OF JUS
tice. Dying, the bequeathed to his heirs the
sword which he had worn in the war of liberty,
charging them ''never TO take it from the scab-
bard but in self-deience, or in defence of their
country and her freedom, and commanding them
that when it should be thus drawn, they. should
never sheathe it or ever give it up, but prefer
falling with il in their hands to the relinquish-
ment thereof words the majesty and simple
eloquence of which are not surpassed in the Or
ators Of Athens aud Rome. 1t will be the duty
of the historian and the sage in all ages to omit
no occasion Of concentrating this illustrious
man and until time shall be no more, will be
a test Of the progress which our rsce has made
in wisdom and virtue, be derived from the ven
