The Rerision of the French Constitution.-The
steamer Pacific, at New York, brings summary
of the long expected report Of De Tocqueville on
the revision of the French Constitution, to which
alluson has been frequently made OF late. This
summary is made by a French paper in anticipa-
ton of the presentation Of the report, and may
not be correct in every particular, bnt it agrees
with the brief account furnished in the telegraph
ic report of the Americas news, which is of a
later date. NJ. de Tocqueville, it is said, favors
an entire revision of the constitution. without re-
stricting the commission TO any particular points
The report denies the divine right of the Repub-
lie, and maintains that OF the nation, to choose
the form of government that may best suit it. 1t
opposes any amendment of the constitution which
would restrict the powers of the Constituent AS
sembly. Tie report also expresses the hope that
if the proposition Of revision be not admitted. the
constitution of 1913 shall remain as the supreme
and sovereign law for all; that the only alterna-
tive will be to maintain, until the term of new
period of three years. the provisional form of the
actual government. it being of course understood
that, in such case, each person will feel it his du-
tv to conform to the constitution and to abstain
from every act which would be tan.amount to its
violation. 1t is added, that NJ. de Toauevle de-
velopes this proposition in such manner as to
oppose all unconstitutional candidate ships. that
is of the actual President, the Prince lie Joinvle
and Ledru Rollin. The document itself is not
long. 1t is described as moderate in language,
candid and imp lrtal. The commission upon the
revision was composed of about an equal number
of monarchists and republicans. The report is
considered decidedly monarchical in its tenden-

federation among Whie,

Our Wing friends Of the St Louis Intelligencer
appear more jealous than tolerant i'm their strict
nres on the fourth resolution Of the Ohio Wig
State Convention. We think they take a narrow
and sectional view Of the position Of the Whis
t larry OF 1he Union, sud set up standard for
as well as slave States, and neither should assume
me position OF dictator to the other. The wings
OF Ohio do not, the Wings or the North do MT
but are ready to give the Compromise measures
now that they are enacted, fair trial, and am I'M
reserved acqmescence, so long as they are laws
OF the land. Nor do they desire to re-open ari-
'a..o1, anu nave no sympathy whatever with abb
clifton disunonsts, of the North, or their seces-
sion allies of the South. They favor no combi-
nation with them for present or future purposes.
!hey rely upon the Wing party Of the Union as
the National party for the advancement of nation
al objects, and would not distract with sectional
issues or measures They would leave their
Southern brethren to enjoy all the guarantees of
the Constitution without Interference or mo,esta-
ton, and therefore accord perfect liberation Of
opinion on the Compromise measures to Wings
everywhere, South as well as North. Opposition
TO those measures is more rampant in portions of
the South than in any section Of the North. The
opposition there takes stronger, holder ground
repeal or secession. In the South, the only danger
to the Union exists. Out of the very small band
OF fanatics, led onby a Douglass ana Garrison
not Disunionist or disunion organization can
be found in the free States. Can as much be said
of the slave States?
Mutual good faith must be maintained between
all sections Of the Republic. Distrust and bick-
erings only weaken the bonds of the union-
The Presidential question need not prove an APP
pie OF discord between the Wings of the North
and the South. The Wings of Ohio, the Wings
of the North desire no candidate for the Presden-
cy who is not friend to the Union, friend of
the constitution, and supporter of all its guar
antees and compromises. Do the Wings of the
South require more If not, away with that s,,s-
pectins and dctatorial spirit which is unbecom-
ing grea. National party bound together by
principles dear to Republicans, and BY the defeats
aud trinmphs of the past, the successful admins
traton of the present, and the bright prospects of
National veal for the future. If, unfortunately,
faction should prevail over patriotism in the COM
ing contest, we can assure oar friends of the In
telligencer that it will not be the fault Of the
Wings of the free North and West They are
welded to no fanaticism that will prevent them
from according perfect liberation on sectional
questions to Wings everywhere, or from Weld
ing hearty support to the nominees of the Wing
National Convention for the Presidency, wheth-
err that nominee be the illustrious Hero and Paci-
ticator, the great Constitutional expounder, or the
present able. enlightened, firm. digifed. and pa

has the following paragraph in relation to the
noted "Hero of the Thousand Isles''--Bill John

'The name Of s'Bill Jo,lnsoa'' reminds us of a
little incident that occurred few days ago.
while we were passing up through the Thousand
Islands in the steamer Lady Of the Lake. We
had on board a pleasure party Of eighty persons,
from Boston and its vicinity, who were on their
way to Niagara Falls. After dinner "BIl John
SON" and his exploits became the subject of con-
versation, and many expressed desire that the
boat would approach the island on which he re-
sided, in the hope that sight ,'of the hcro''
might be obtained. We were then approaching
French Creek, (now called Clayton having to
remain half an hour to take in supply Of wood.
On stepping on the wharf we observed at short
distance the celebrated character who had been
the subject Of conversation during most Of our
passage through the islands, He had come over
from his Island to 'get supplies and look after
one Of his boys. As soon as the passengers
knew that johnson was close at hand, there was
a general rush, and general introduction
Whatever Johnson might have been, he now sus-
tains the character of an excellent neghbor and
quiet citizen. His daughter (the s'Queen of the

LITE News FROM THE PLAINs-INpIsN
DEPREDATIoNS, &C.-From the officers Of the
steamer Duroc, which boat arrived at our port
yesterday noon from the Missouri, we have the
Following interesting items of news from the
Plains.
Ga the Odd inst.. a party of sixteen teams of
Oregon immigrants arrived at kaaesville, having,
from the time Of starting to the time of their ar
rival, lost by the depredations Of the Indians if-
! ty-6ve head Of cattle, THIS heavy theft was
| committed at Beaver Creek, one hundred miles
from the Missouri river. Two or three days
Previous to this loss, which occurred in the early
| part Of June, they Were visited by body of
some two hundred indians, at short distance
| from whom, between FIVE and six hundred others
were seen they demanded of the immigrants two
head Of cattle from each wagon, for the right of
way through their country, threatening Violently
that if they did not comply with their demand,
they would murder their whole party. The In-
dams, it is said, were Of the Pawnee and Omaha
tribes. The immigrants, IN order to save them
selves, resorted 10 persuasion, and finally sue
cecded, by letting them have two COWS and two
sacks of -four.
On the nth Of June, their cattle took STAIN
pede, which was supposed to have been caused
by the Indians. They were confirmed in this
| supposition on the morning following from a
visit they received by several hundred Indians,
who offered their services to bring in the missing
cattle, on condition that they were literally paid.
The immigrants agreed I'd this offer, and in day
o. two, few of the poorest were returned
These suficed merely to enable them to reach
the river. Their children and themselves were
much i-used by the Indians.
The majority Of the party, it is said. had been
formerly, from Starke county county, Illinois,
| The Indians informed them that it was their in
tenton to head the Mormon train and extort pay
| for passing through their country. They added
that refusal TO comply with this request, would
be followed with the most rigorous example on
themselves and their property.
| The advance company of the Mormon train
| has not been heard from. 1t is supposed, how
| ever, that they viii reach the Sioux county be-
| fore they can be overtaken bv these Indians.
The last company of Mormon Immigrants
were heard from at Loape Fork, where they
were TO cross on Tuesday week last. They were
said to be prosecuting their journey prosperously.
But one train remains yet to 80 out this season.
/ 1t is that of Mr. L. F. Williams trader to Salt
Lake, now encamped at Fort kearney. 1t will
| leave in a few days.
