And the residence of Lord Napier at the despo:ic
and mill airy courts mentioned by The Times Will
enable him to admire Understandings the sklllful
aru of policy whereby the Government Of Mr..
Pierce has been enabled to promote the purposes
of our de.pOtic (et rather call it eonserrdsire)
ohesrchy under the f.irest pre.euses Of Freedom
and Democracy. He will there learn that Law and
Order are another name for the most lawless and
disorderly tyranny in Kansas as well as in Poland
or in Hungary. And while be admires the Civil
similtudes he will discern between his new court
ard bis old ones be will be able TO do full Justice 10
the skill with which the Military Arm has been
interpreted so a to shield the tools of tyranny and
to crush the champions of Freedom. And il is not
impossible that be may be able to give the incoming
Administration some useful hints as to the methods
whereby real designs are disguised under fair pre-
lenses, and the objects of despot approached in
the friendlest and most attractive garb. He may
be of more use to the proximate President in the
hard navigation aud the troubled waters amid which
be will find himself struggling, than The Times
thinks for. That's to say, supposing the ncble Lord
in question to be as entirely saturated with the
de'potic element in the midst Of which ne has been
living a. The Thunderer seems to imply. On which
subject we have no opinion to express.
But whether or not Lord Napier's residence at
dSpotic ard military courts has unified him for
retids nee at QUIZ it cannot be denied that the
peIisnce he msy gain here will qualify him in an
eminent manner to return again to the bosom of
those pa rarcbL Governments. He will carry back
TO those efete monarches fresh infusion of repub-
lican blood, and give new vgor to their shrunken
reins. He can demonstrate to the Emperor Of
Russia, for instance, what fatal mistake his
tainted sre made in emancipatiDg the Crown serfs
and in encouraging future maDumission of the
whole class. He can suggest TO the Imperial mind
the proprety and infinite advantage Of resuming
the rights Of property so rashly relnquIshed, and
can urge in favor Of the plan the Virginian PROPOSE
ton to enslave all the free negroes that stand in
the way of the great breeder of slaves and Pres-
dents. He can show the Russian nobility, too, the
folly Of allowing their serfs to hold large amounts
of property, which in reality belong to themselves
He can prove by the experience Of wlses. states-
men who have devoted themselves to the solution
Of this problem, that to allow Save to earn any
thing excepting for his master is blow aimed at
the very root of the benefcent relation in which
they stand 10 one another. At Vienna he could
teach the young Austrian Nero new arts for subdu-
ing Liberty in Hungary and Italy, learned in the
school of Pierce and Douglas. And 50 at Con.
stantinople, he might be . missionary at once OF
liberal institutions and Of Christianity, by showing
that nothing improves the value of slave so much
as living in free country and protesting the Chris
tian religion. We differ toto eqio from the views
of this subject propounded by the London critics of
Lord Napier, and We canno. doubt that, should
he make good use of his opportunity while in
America, be will return to Europe prepared to
advance the science Of politics by his experience
much his iIlustrious ancestor Cor relative, at any
rate did that of mathematics by the invention Of his
logarithms.
