A remarkable statement appears in the London
Times respecting the course to be pursued by Aus
tria, Prussia and Russia in the event of bouis Ma
poleon assuming the title of Emperor. The substance
of is, that Prince Scharsnborg has addressed cir
culars to the European courts expressing his con-
viction that Napoleon is about to erect imperial
throne, and adding that Austria felt alarm, and
advocating the claims of the President 10 the friend
ship and alliance of the respective governments Prus-
STA answered this circular on the 18th and Russia on
the 29h of February. The tenor of both replies is,
that the two powers looked upon the design neither
with favor hostility; that they believed he is dis
posed to follow the foreign policy of his UNCLE and
aiming to separate the powers, in order to prove
hereafter, By that separation, that the three powers,
acting in concert, could keep him in check. Russia
and Prussia, however, would recognize him as emp
if elected to that Office but merely as an elected
monarch, and not as the founder of NaPoleonc dy-
nasty. Napoleon is about holding camp of exer-
else of sixty thousand men under his own command
To the politician who looks at the ends sought af-
ter by party rather than at the mere words In
which ad captandum resolutions are couched, the
whole affair is perfectly plain. The Wing party oil
its leaders opposed Equal Suffrage with violent OPP
position. 1t succeeded far to demonstrate It's
hold on the popular mind. The leaders remained as
much opposed to any amendnDnt to the con-
suton, at the same time that they were still more
opposed to Democratic ascendency in the State. They
have therefore, hit upon this expedlent OF conven
tion which, if successful, will virtually affect OF
their objects-the defeat of Equal Suffrage-since II
will il in mid progress, and render its accom-
plisment almost impossible for half generation And
while thus defeating all reasonable and conservative
PROFESSIONALLY, indeed, which is practicable with
! out turmoil, danger and excitement-they declam
like demagogues upon the superior TePublicanism oil
a convention, which they assure us down here can
never be called, the time that its calling is
the grand hobby at the West. That portion of the
seventh resolution which declares that that the ques-
ton of " Convention - or I" No Convention " should
be submitted the people first STEP is no doubt
intended to be used powerful electoneering in
srument in the next election-in the East it will be
coLtended that the people want no convention and
desire reform-not even that of Equal Suffrage
and that therefore the popular vote will be against
convention, while at the West it will be contended
that the whole fabric, to the basis needs remo-
deling and that the people will vote for convention,
and that convention will shortly be called and new
order of things initiated. We Democrats-Lo-
cofocos as our Fayetteville contemporary would eie-
gantly deDoInlnate us-but we are no demagogues-
we like straight forward action and plain dealing
and cannot endorse such ambdextrous maneuVres as
those which the Wing wire-pullers busy execut-
ing. The great body of that party-like the great
body of all parties have interest in being deceived
If from humble endeavors they should be enabled
to see how the thing stands know that they will
becomes them. Should they not, our advice -
would rather prejudice than benefit cause, and
we do not pretend to offer it.
Equal Suffrage is in truth, the real issue-not that
of Convention. The evident desire of the Wing
leaders to defeat all amendments, and at the
time to do it by affectaton of ultra repubcansm,
careless of the fact that they are applying spark
which may yet kindle into fire dangerous to the
peace of the State and ruinous to the equality Of its
different sections. Wilmington Journal
The wing party is irrevocaDly and finally commit;
ted against the compromise policy, whatever General
Scott may say about it. The most active and the
most influential members of the wing party admit
openly, with Mr.. Washburn, that upon the ground of
the nality of the Compromise the wings cannot car
ry single northern State. The reason is plain. The
northern democracy have preoccupied that ground,
now hold the track and mean to hold it. The wing
