The Herald returns to the work Of preparing the
public mind for the extension of Louis Napoeons
Police and Spy system over this country. We
quote 80 much Of its last article as embodes its
position and exhibits its tone Of argument. 1t
says:
Assuming that these statements of fact are well
founded that Allsop was an accessory to the attempted
murder ard that be s here, we take it that there can
be no question Of the right Of the French Emperor to
claim him. of tie duty Of the United States to sur
render him demand.
off Allsop bought the grenades or Internal machines
with which the attempt made, as Is said he did,
if he rendered himself in any way legal accessory
to the deed, be il evidently one of those persons of
whom the treaty says: Persons shall be 30 delivered
up who shall be charged, according to the provisions
OF this convention with any OF the following crimes
TO wit murder DC. The persons who We're killed
by the attempt of the Rue Lepeeter were evidently
murdered; ard the French Government, on making
the demand for Allsops eAtradton, would evidently
accompany the demand with ample evidence OF the
proceedings before the Jugc d InSruction and OF the
acte a 0ccSsation, &c How these could be success
fully resisted does not readily appear
We ask every one who loves liberty to read
the above twice, very carefully, and mediate
little on its tremendous scope and the inevitable
consequences of its acceptance as correct ac-
count of our international obligations Every one
charged with MURDER" &c, is to be surren
dered unqualifedly. Then those Republicans who
resisted unto death the infamous coup d'<tat which
made Louis Napoleon despot in act as he already
was in heart, are not safe among US for an hour.
1t will be very easy for the usurper to get any of
them indicted for murder with all the formallties
of 0ctc d'accusation, proceedings before the Jxge
dEnstruction, &c. Once admit the principle that

sop is not even Frenchman; il is not even neces-
sary TO the case that he should ever have
been in France; il suffices that he had some
thing to do with the attempt to execute
against Louis Napoleon the sentence of death to

into that order secondly, as traitor TO tn. French

deemed an object TO do il, and our Government
were seryile enough to surrender him.
The Herald dexterously jugg~ together two
very different questions-namely, WAS Col ALI
" sop accessory TO the attempt to Kill Louis Nspo-
Z" leon ?" and, WAS he accessory TO the actual
killing of those who persisted i'll the Rue lie Pele-

icslly in the negative. The death of those persons
was an unfortunate accident, which Col All SOD I'm.
ouestionably never medtated and which doubtless
he deeply depores. He is no more accessory to
their murder than Louis Napoleon is accessory

who perished in the Crimea.
The agreement to deliver up all person rs charged
