The Loco(ocos, says the North American. can
chop logic equal to any body or any thing. We
find for instance, three serious charges against the
Wings, as follows:
lst-ihe Wings never had any principles.
2d--The principles of the Wings arc corrupt
and dangerous
5d-The Wings have abandoned their former
principles.
It will be seen from this that the Whips never
had rinciPles-that their principles were corrupt
and tina, they have abandoned what they never
possessed. This logic has never been equalled ex.
cept by the lawyer, when defending his client on
charge Of borrowing whole kettle and returning

lst.-Never had the kettle.
2d.--It was cracked when il was borrowed.
3d.-That it was whole when returned.

The News BY THE CAMBRIA is important In
france change occurred which threatened the
government with new danger The popular pre-
terence, however, for the supremacy of Louis Ma
Poleon was evidently not 80 great as represented in
the English journals. The proceedings and votes
in the National Assembly show that the Republi-
cans are still in great majority, but there was
still enough in the movement in favor Of Lonis Ma
polcon to brighten that body into an exhibition of
weakness that would perhaps have been fatal to
any government not sustained as the government
of France is, by great and overwhelming MAORI
iy of the people. The attempt TO revive the Bona.
Parte feeling by bringing forward one who inherits
none of the great qualities of that master spirit
was bold effort of faction as inpudent as it prov
ed impotent. The Republican feeling is too strong
in France to be seduced again into such unmeasu
rabIe folly.
In England things remain quiet. The recent
Chartlst demonstration was worse failure than
the 'kensington Common" affair." but the reform
spirit is working its way quietly along, and produ-
cling its results.
Ireland is less openly disturbed than usual-the
people are anxiousIy looking forward to the union
of the two parties. The other parts OF Europe re-
main in the same state nearly as the last previous
advices left them.
