should Louis NAPOLEON ally hiuself Wilh

Should Louis Napoleon ally himself with
Prussia, in her crusade against Switzerland, it
will be an ncl Of the basesi, tingraiitude.
And vet, the indications are strong that he may
do no. We have not forgotten, the world
should never forget, that Switzerland gave an
asylum and home, and protection 10 this same
Louis Napoleon in the days of his adversely.
We have not forgotten that when the Govern
ment of Louis Philippe Threatened Switzerland
because it afforded M asylum 10 Louis Napoleon
after he had become dn 0utcast, branded and
prescribed as a reyoluiunist and traitor, the
Swiss Government remained firm and refused
with heroic boalncss. either. to surrender or ex.

Slrisbourg was then profuse III expressions of
gratitude and admiration for the Swiss character.
Now, when seated on The throne OF France, in
the enjoyment Of unlimited power, including The
pnwcrl o rtquie his benefactorS, he even pre-
sunes 10 rrbuke his former protectors for
righteous resistance 10 ,he arrogant demands OF
Prussia. But the exaclions of political expedi-
ency nre ~ boundless rs his ingratitude is base.
Everythng-honor, gratitude, moral obligation,
and il NAV be interest, must be sacrificed 10
sense of political expediency. Here is what
the ungraleful monarch said when he was about
to retire from the country which had given him
an asylum Comment is unnecessary:
Switzerland has demonstrated, during n
month by her energetic protests, and now by
the decisions tf the great Councils which have
assembled up TO the present time, that she was
prepared to make the greatest sacrifices for The
maintenance of her dignity und her right. She
has done her duty as an independent nation.

Duty ON SUGAR.

The question of the duty on sugar has attrac-
ted some attention, and many OF our Northern
exchanges are clear in the conviction that it
would be better to abolishit. From statements
made it appears that though the crop has great
" huctuated, there has still been q steady in
crease. Last year there was only 100, 900 hogs
heads each hogshead weighing about l,lOO
against 23l ,427 hogsheads for 1855, and 346,-
635-for 1864 but tbs falling off has been coin
cident with the high price Of cotton, and taking
the average of sugar for ten years, it is shown
that it amounts to 100000 hogsheads, OF the
one-tRird Of the aFsssonsumed in the United
States Under these circumstances it is con-
tended by the Journal. of Commerce, of New
York, that as measure of prudence, as we'll as
Of justice to the South, the sugar duties should
be continued in equal proportion to other duties,
whose object is to encourage domestic produc-
ton. We think free trade wouldl be better.
Every head, of family pays threecents pound
upon all the sugar he consumes, and this is more
than the collateral advantage to him Of having
it;raised in Louisiana, rather than in Cuba; in
fact, to us on the Southern Atlantic sea-board,
it would be better to have it raised in Cuba, for
then we would starta commerce in exchange for
it, Still, if protection is to be kept up as set
fled policy, and if the North is solicitous to
draw out from all the burthcns of it., so as to
leave them on the South, we would hold on to
the sugar duty to the extent to which they con-
slme, that they will share in supporting the
government which without would seem to set
tie entirely upon US.
As source Of revenue this duty on sugar has
at least the merit of going more directly to the
revenue of tie country than any others: The
sugar imported is S50,000,00O, upon which the
duty is two cents per pound. This yields $l7.-
100000. There are imported 100000 gal
Ions molasses, at FIVE cents per gallon, making
$2000000; together Sl9O0O,000. Of this
only about six millions goes to the support OF
the Louisiana planter, willie fsl3,000,oOO goes
into the treasury of the United States; and OF
this the North pays at least the onc-half' By
the sugar tax We have hold on them to that
extent, and as it is almost the only one for
which they are not abundantly compensated by
some collateral advantage, if we would ever
have their aid in All adjustment of the tariff, it
is maniiestly our policy to hold them on tothis.

II will he seen, by reference the late proceedings
of The Executive Committee of the Stale Agricultural
Society, that this Journal has been discontinued 1t
seems that it was not aging expenses and was con-
sidersd too heavy drag upon the purse-strngs of
the Association. This is TO be sincerely regretted

ped his pIow. handles. Instead If this, we really
think that agents should have been appointed in every
District 10 collect The dues of the office and enlarge
the papers circulation; that reasonable expense
should have been spared to make the Agriculturist
finished journal; That Col. SUMNER should have
been induced to his mnsterly efforts With In.
creased zeal; that Mr. R. j. GAGE should have been
added 10 The edilorship; and that South Carolina
farmers should have been comTelled, by the beauty
and excellence Of this Associational ogan to come
up its support in baalions. True, this is all easier
said than done; and perhaps the Executive Com
mtee, with the facts before their eyes, have decided
for the best.

convey our warmesl wishes for his SUCCESS in all his

CHANGE OF PUBLIC OPINION.

The Daily NeNs, of New York, conscrva-
tive Democratic Journal expresses the belief
that change is taking place in the public opn-
ion of tie popular mind in relation to Federal
politics. 1t says:
"Since the election of James Buchanan a
change has come over the spirit of the popular
mind, at least it We may judge from the mode
rate tone Of the press in every part of the coun-
try and of all shades Of opinion. The utraists
and extremists OF every quarter stand rebukcd
by the triumph OF the Democracy and its rep
rescntative man. James Buchanan. The Ne
braska bill expresses perfect neutrality Oh the
great exciting question Of the tlay-t esclcwS
at once radicalism on either flank-it was Il
measure not Of compromise, but of just moder-
alton, aud its spirit is perfectly expressed in the
character Of the great statesman OF PennSyl-
vanlan
We arc pleased to notice this also in the modi-
fled views of some of the most violent opponents
of the South at Washington, and while they
still retain hostility to her institutions they dis
claim much Of what constituted their capital in
the late contest. Our private ahvces are that
the Black Republicans are good deal d cour'
aged, and that favorable reaction iSin progress
at the North. Much depends OIL the incom!n!
administration and the sagacity OF alr. Bucha-
nan, in whom we have confidence He knows
full we'll that during his term the fate of the
Union will lie decided, and we have 10 doubt
lie will give the weight of Ills influence towards
the preservation of equal rights under the Con-
stituton, as has Deen done by the illuStrious pa
trot, President Pierce, who has so nobly done
his duty to the country during his term. The
South has, with single exception, voted for
Mr.. Buchanan as Constitutional President:
and will support him as such. As our political
union depends on popular opinion, which can
only be permanent when based on constitutions
al principles, it is essential to its existence that
there should be a change, and that speedily, III
those sections where the Constitution has been
a dead letter. The South is now the conserva-
tive element of our Government, and with per-
feet union among ourselves we can pcrpetuate
not Only the protection of our rights, but the
which, with all its difficulties, is
the best polty that the world has yet seen.-
