Alliances Offe nsive and Defensive.

The Norfolk (Va) Neaps thus endorses the
views or Senator DOUGLAS on the question of
Intervention.
The extract is taken from his speech in the
Senate.
The following extract from speech, lately
delivered by Senator Douglas, deserves to be
written in letters of gold
Sir, something has been said about an alliance
with England to restrain the march of Russia
over the European continent. am free to say
that desire no alliance with England, to restrain
the march Of RUSSIA over the European conti
nent am free to say that desire no alliance
with England, or with any other crowned head
am not willing to acknowledge that America
needs England as an ally to maintain the prin-
ciples of our government. Nor am willing to
go to the rescue of England to save her from
the power of the Autocrat, until she assinilates
her institutions to ours. Hers is halfway
house between despotism and republicanism.
She is responsible, as much AS any power in
Europe, for the failure of the revolutionary
movements which have occurred within the last
four years. English diplomacy, English intrigue,
and English perfidy, put down the revolution in
Sicily and in Italy, and Mas the greatest barrier
to it's success even in Hungary.

am utterly averse to an alliance with her to
sustain her monarch her nobles and her privi-

The TARIFF-MR. JAMEs's PRoJEcT.-I learn
that though no tariff scheme has yet been
brought forward in Congress, the subject has
been agitated among the members. Senator
James, of R. l., has framed project for modi-
fcation of the tariff, and having consulted a
number Of members in regard to it, will pre-
sent it, with the appreciation of some of the
leading Democratic member of both houses

present duties on iron, and the same upon fine
cottons, and fabrics of cotton. and wool. 1t
leaves the present system unmpared in other
respects.
Whether the project will meet the assent of
the Pennsylvania and New York interests, is
doubtful. The Pennsylvanians expect more
ard ask for the exclusive protection of their
own interests. No scheme can be brought
forward, with any chance of success, except
under Democratic auspices. In the course of
a week or two, we shall know more Of this sub

PROBABILITY OF LARGE INVESTMENTS IN
AMERICAN SrocKs.-A letter from London by
the last steamer says the crisis in France has
induced many capitalists to invest their surplus
kNunds in American stocks. The Barings, Mr.
Peabody, Messrs. Bell, Son g. Co, and other
holders of American Stocks have lately had nu
merous inquiries respecting the condition Of diff
ferent State and city stocks in the United States.
The probability is that if the government of
France should not soon change into other hands,
there will be large investments in American
stocks by foreigners.

The Reverse Of tho Picture.

MARr,n VAN BuREH, until he mounted the
Buffalo platform, was known as the $ Northern
man with Southern principles" Now we have
the reverse of the picture, of Southern man
with Northern principles" as illustrated in the
late speech in the Senate of Mr.. Downs
What change! Omnes homines +! Was there
ever such letting down as this of Mr.. Downs,
all the way from Louisiana? lie consoles the
South with the plea that Mr.. CLAY's ADJUST
ment gives them more territory than they would
have obtained by the Missouri compromise.
Figures cannot lie, and he proves it by figures.
What pity this fact was not sooner discovered
1t would have saved world of trouble. What
a pity!
Alas for the short slghtedness of human sa-
gacity When Mr.. CLAY introduced his scheme
into the Senate, it was met by an opposition so
hearty, so indignant, and so spontaneous, on the
part of Messrs. FoorE, CLEMENS and Downs, as
to place them in the front rank of the defenders
of the South. But
;" A change came 'er the spirit Of their dream. y

it becomes essential to save the so called South.

to volunteer in this service. But we are afraid
he comes too late.

Tribute to General Scott.
From the Lntsliigencer

From, the Intsliigencer.
Among the proceedings in the Senate on Tues
day, readers will have observed that resou-
ton passed that body, which was offered some
days ago by Mr.. Clemens, to authorize the crea-
ton of the Office of lieutenant general. As it is
well understood that this proposed increase of rank
in our army has reference to one gallant veteran,
we presume We may congratulate him upon so es.
pecial and fstteripg compliment as 10 conveyed
by this vote Of tie Senate The passage of this
solution is indeed, enviab!e testimonial to the
many distinguished services and to the long de
votion to his country which have made the name
of Winfield Scott household word in all parts of
our country, even before the partially of his
friends presented him to his fellow. citizens ne a
candidate for the highest reward within their gift
All who know the worthy General are aware that
his equanmitv has not suffered from his defeat,
has his zeal in his official duties been at all i'm
paired Even had such been the case, this disn-
guished honor might we'll be a healing balm for
any modification arising from want Of success in
that campaign. in which, for the first time in his
life, he underwent defeat.
1t certainly will enhance the value of this gene
tribute to the merits of General Scott when he
remembers that the grade of Lieutenant Gene, al
has been conferred but before in our history.
That was upon George Washing ton. In 1898 he
was appointed, by the unanimous vote of the Sen
ate, upon the nomination of President John Adams
at time when hostities with France were 90 i'm
ininent to require reorganization and inct ease
ofour army.
The resolution has as yet, indeed, only passed the
Senatorial branch of Congress; but we do not per-
NIT ourselves to doubt that will also receive the
sanction of the House of Representatives.
