The success of Louis Napoleon's demonstration
will in defiance Of the maxim, roll back the wheels
Of revolution. 1t will put put the fires and crush
the spirit of Freedom all over Europe. There is
no hope for Switzerland Sardinia, and less than

from their monarchs, will, or may be required to,

Here we take leave Of our grumbler Tor the
present, hoping that his eyes may get cleared
of their notes before we meet with him again.
His assumption that all the taste, culture To-
6nement and love Of art 10 the world belong
to German literati, professors and other cut
tiyated classes, wont hold water. Indeed, with
all respect for the many excellent ana u'eiui
qualities of those gentlemen, many OF whom
we personally honor and esteem IN very
high degree. we are free to say that as
class. thew themselves stand in some need oil
culture, not only in the supreme art OF com
mon sense. but in some Of the ordinary am mi
ties oflife For instance, we have heard
learned professor declaim on American child
ishness and want Of refinement when his own
hands exhibited striking ignorance oil soap
and the nailbrush, and his shirt apparently
had not been changed for fortnight. And
we remember an article in former number
of the husband giving an account oil the ice-
cream saloons Of Ncw-YOrk, where the author
described himself as eating dinner from
whose incongruous variety any man OF stomach
more refined than HottentOt would shrink
hack in horror. That convinced US that
if our critic had something TO teach In respect
20 art, good taste and German culture" he
had more TO learn than had yet been dreamed
of in his philosophy.
With as little disposition as possible to con-
ceal the faults or exaggerate any virtues that
NAV exist in America, we suggest for the con-
sideration of this writer, (and others may im-
prove by the suggestion that he would render
a much better service to his fatherland by re-
porting there what there is in this Republic
which is worthy of German imitation, rather
than by uselessly enarging upon our weak
nesses and evils. The latter may be moro
grateful to the monarchs aud princes who live
upon the German people, and would fam pre-
serve that agreeable mode of existence but
the former would be infinitely more beneficial
to the millions who long for liberty and equal
rights. We fear the writer in the Husband
must be pronounced bad patriot toward his
native country and that whatever semblance
of truth there may be in his condemnation OF
that he has adopted it is so exaggerated and
one-sided that he must pass for bad patriot
toward this also.

MIR. wEBsTER,s WORKS.

Mr.. Webster's executors have given notics
that they will publish, or cause to be published
a complete edition of his Works, and have r.
quested that all persons who may have Letter.
or other writings of permanent value from Mr.
Webster's pen may transmit the originals or
certified copies for the use Of the editor or ed.
tors of those works. This is wei, and We tus
the proposed publication will be every way
complete. While Mr.. Webster lived, it wm
deemed expedient by his editors most unwise
ly, in our judgment) to suppress some Of bis
earlier Federal and anti-War Speeches. lest
their diffusion should impede his progress to
the Presidency; but now all such consder%
tons have persisted, and We trust the author.
lied standard edition Of Mr.. Webster Life and
Writings will be complete, though il should b
found necessary to extend it to dozen full &C.
tavOs.
But that will be an edition for Scholars, for
Statesmen, for Libraries; another, very unlike
this, will be required for the great mass of the
ftOIlc. lHe Lie anu CcicC' pPcechcs W
Daniel Webster in two fair l2mos. Of so
pages each, to be sold for 81, is the book with
should be prepared as soon as possible, and by
which Mr.. Webster will be known to the great
mass of his countrymen hereafter. True, an.
body may get up such work, and We presume
halfa dozen will attempt it I; but it is obviously
desirable that this also should appear under
the auspices OF Mr.. VS. executors, and tina,
it's editor should have access TO the mass of m,
teras which they alone can supply We
would have the Biography in no sense elaborate
a simple, concise narration OF the principal
events in Mr.. Webster's career, leaving half
the first volume for the more characteristic and
important of the great mans letters, and de-
voting the second volume entirely to the nobles
of his Orations and Speeches. Such works
this, which almost every schoOl-boy could a.
ford to purchase, yet containing about as muA
as the busy majority will ever find time to read,
brought out in season for next springs trade
(ior the volume of Speeches might be stereo.
typed while the other is being prepared might
easily command sale of 100000 copies. Such
work, presenting Mr.. Webster as he was,
with no labored effort to varnish his frsil!ia
into virtues, but showing how much of great
ness and goodness he embodied in despite d
those frailties, would be precious addition to
our Popular Literature. That such worn
will appear, we do not doubt but il is exceed
ingly desirable that its preparation should not
be left TO chance or futurity, but that its editor
should be chosen by Mr.. Webster's EXECUTOR
and enjoy access to the mass of matcrias which
they only can possess
