The long anticipated re-assembling Of the Ma
tonsl Assembly of France furnishes something
like a substantial breakfast to those who have
watched the progress of Louis Napoleon. AT las,
he has shown himself, in his speech, TO be any
thing but the ambitious man that he has been pic

reople-has thrown himself entirely upon the rep
refentatives of the nation at large, and in this
respect has established his claim to be regarded as
the friend ofhis country. The political philosopher
may conjecture hat there is shrewd diplomacy in
this unexpected act of compliance to the will of the
sJority, but there very grave reasons why this
course, under all circumstances, is best for man
who can gain nothing by establishing the dynasty
at Napoleon. In the present state of Europe, Louis
Napoleon, by steadily consulting the wishes of
France, can wear more laurels, and enjoy more
real popularity, than be the lot of any
monarch. We shall look for his speech with no
ordinary interest.

be considered very remarkable, and as virtuous as
that which used to characterize some Of the Ro-

now stands, Cardinal Wiseman and the govern.

The Union party, as appears from our telegraphic

Towns had a decided leaning TO secession, and
was followed mp by a series Of Southern rights
meetings, which gave avery gloomy complexion
to Georgia politics, and quite an impulse to the
secession movements throughout the cotton region.
