PRESIDENTS AND PREMIERs. The existing con-
dtion of public affairs in England. France, and the
United States, presents some singular features of
resemblance in certain leading points. England is
governed by accidental ministry; France is in
the condition; and in the United States the
government is in the hands of acting President,
without any probability of permanence after couple
of years. Although France and the United States
republics, and Great Britain is monarchy, the ac-
tual governments of the three countries entirely
under the control of popular impulse and popular
events; much so as to place their political power
in a state Of singular and unexamped transition. In
this country, our present government-understandin
by that the President and the cabinet-seems to be
more engaged in unofficial business,-such look
ing for rainy day, eectioneerng for the next
Presidency,-han in attending to their proper duties,
of more important character. In our executive
government have no less than three candidates for
the successon-Mr. Fillmore, Mr.. Webster, and Mr..
Corwin-aRd how many more there are, in both hous-
es of Congress, and out Of it, can't tell but the
number would amount to fifty, sixty, or perhaps a
hundred, of all kinds. The President of France is
also candidate for reelection. and the whole action
of his government, and OF parties in the National AS
sembly, to be directed with reference to the
succession, in pretty much the way as it is in
this country. England is not exception. The
present ministry Of Lord John Russell is allowed to
remain in power until some new premier shows him
self capable of concerning measures, and of collecting
sufficient strength to enable him TO go before the peo
ple with a dissolution of Parliment and cleo
tion Thus, it that the spirit of the age affects
the three principal governments of the world in the
same way, without distinction of FORM. The United
States is federal republic Frarce is kind of dem
ocratic despotism and the government OF England is
species of monarchy, mixed with aristocracy and
democracy in due proportions. Yet all these govern
ments more or less Influenced and controlled by
the elements, fashioned by the same course of
action allowing for the notifications of soil climate,
and cookery. This spirit, which thus governs gov
ernments, was originated by the newspaper press of
the three countries, and makes itself felt through the
press. The period is not far distant-if indeed, it
has not already comewhen the press will be stron-
ger than any form ofgovernment, and will in fact be
the government of every civilized country, and not,
through the forms of government they now exist,
for the welfare of the people. NJ Y. Herald
