The German National Assembly, is now COM
pletely Organized, and nearly all of the members
from the most distant regions have arrived. A few
days ago, they proceeded to the definitive election
OF President, and the choice fell almost unani-
mousy on Henry Won Gagern, who had filled the
chair Professionally. The announcement Of his
election received with the greatest enthusiasm,
by all parties and it is the most cheering omen for
the future
Won Gagem is one of the purest patriots IN Ger
many, and is destined to play a most important
part in its future history. My opinion is, that's
short period will find him issuing mmands to kings
and princes, class that for years have scorned and
revjed him. For many years he fought the battles Of
the people in the upper chamber Of Hesse Darmstadt
with the most untirng energy and seeing In tho
French revolution the the salvation Of his
country, he fought with redoubed vigor, and In .
short period the obliged to call its NEST bit
ter opponents to preside the ministry only
of satisfying the people. He elected to the
Assembly almost unanimously, chosen president, and
is now, without doubt, the of the whole German
people. One of the members exclaimed to most on
Enthusiastically" He is Washington, and he
truly deserves this compliment The dignihed. impair
tal and fathery in which he presdes the
deliberations of the Assembly, gives proof Of noble
SOUL and his whole appearance calculated to inspire
love and confidence. He Is u man between fifty and
sixty prepossessing in person, large stature, with
finely developed head, splendid eyes and powerful but
harmonious voice-n short, he was born president,
and is the first orator of the house In the most
fused debate few words from him replace everything
in order and restores harmony. The evening Of his
parties honored him with torchight procession. The
assembly has now pretty clearly divided into parties
according to the French custom of taking seats tOgeth
er-and they number four-the extreme radical left,
the left centre right centre, and right extreme The
election of Won Gagern who adheres to the centre
in principle great victory for liberal principles
and proves that in the grand object of their mission.
the members of the Assembly are willing to Weld from
the extremes for the purpose Of unity and strsnsth
Several important questions have proved that the left

Of our sovereign State system, with federal union.
They have already declared every State constitu-

measures into force and carry out their resolutions
Should this proposition be carried through it will be

should directory be formed, he will be the Arst
in it.
The constituent Assembly is the most conglomerats
body that can be imagined, and contains every shade

friendly to the republic the moment it can be intro
duced without the terrors of civil and anarchy
and many of its members see no danger impossbili-
ty in the federal union of the States with the privilege

The right centre are liberal constitutional monarch
