honors and shouting hosannahs, 10 who, but few
short years ngo they denounced murderer peurer
and a usurper Hereafter, apprehend Great Britain
instead leading the band be content play second
fiddle ia the great concert Of nations
One OF the startling items in the which We
are commenting Is the attempt assassnate the French
Emperor by repuied Italian exile II be called
very remarkable in ITSELF Tor the history Of France pre-
sens many similar examples But the circumstances at
tending it, SO far they have ranspired certainly not
little mysterious, not 10 say suspicious However, we
shall make attempt explain them, leaving IL to the
judicial investigation which this may have thrown
more light on the subject We shall only observe that
there is probably living whose sudden death
would produce great shock only France but to
all Europe and it may be added the whole world, that
Of the Emperor Napoleon. Whether he would have any
successor whether that would adopt his pres
emit policy or whether France would more relapse
into a wild anarchy quietly settle down into national
republic the basis Of her past experience, Is question
it would be presumption in amy man to attempt TO decide
Thus much viii say, however that whatever may be
our sympahies in behalf of the liberties of mankind
confidently believe they have been and will
be- attained by the cowardy, codblooded assassination
Of their rulers The dagger Of Bruus only prepared the
way for the final subugation Of Rome brave intelli-

all the power of despoc monarchs standing armies with
out resotng crimes which prospect of ultimate good
can Justify. Thousands of men may merit death; but
should presume to usurp the attributes of his
Maker and become their executoner We aware and
we regret that the Emperor Of France not friend to
the United States but at the time, sincerely hope
he will fall by the hand Of cowardy assassin We
neither believe him saint desire to him become

THE CHARLESTON MERouRY

In allading few days ago article copied by Us
from the Charleston Mercury, on Foreign Aboltonsm
we dissented from two paragraphs which
strued containing reflections the administration and
hostility to the continuance Of the federal Union. The
Mercury disclams any intention reflect upon the adj
mnisraon saying aIn regard to tie present admnisra-
tion opinions hardly be mistaken Never have
we accused suspected them Of hostility to the South
but again and again have said that they have been
paralyzed by the ant-savery power and this is shat
in saying that the federal government is con-
rolled by the spirit Of an-slavery But in regard 70 lis
disunon sentiment the Mercury fearessy lis posi-
on saying that in principle disunonists is very
true and accept this distinction, matter how
broad from The Washington Union anybody else II
Is precisely the Union question that there is abroad
distinction between the Charleston Mercury and the adj
minisraouthe great leading paramount objec, Of the
administration being to preserve and perpetuate The
Union, whilst the Mercury openly proclains itself a
disunionist The administration proceeds upon the as
sumption that the federal Union be preserved
only by adhering to the principles Of the consti-
tuition, which guaranty the South their rights and
interests The Mercury comedies that in this respect
the administration has discharged Its whole duty and
does not doubt that President Pierce viii stand bar
rer to check outrageous legsatos for the Of bis
office" But the Mercury seems have hope for the
future II that Mr. Pierces win DO "a
who win be pledged 10 all that (he executiye)
power TO the injury and abasement Of the South Whilst
would conceal the mnnency Of the danger which
hangs future not prepared get to despair
Of the republic We have faith in the conservative power
Of the people which il mistaken amidst the gloom which
now shrouds the future Our hope is in the Union and
in the national democracy shall surrender
neither until ii shall be manifest that the Providence
which has heretofore watched country has given
to the madness Of dsunion. We trust that the
contingency may when the Washington Onion
shall be inclined move in the direction Of the Mercury
But if il does shall do with consoling reec-
tonthat have worshipped At the altar of the federal

vation When the noble old smother of States and
