The Press and the Hon. VIM. Bigler.

For some time past the Philadelphia press
has exhibited a spirit toward Senator BIGLER
which is characterized by SO much unj justness
and ungencrousness that we advert to it with
indignation. We do not desire q controversy
with the Press, but cannot in silence permit
attacks upon statesman for opinions which
are also held By ourself 1t is still more
matter for severe rcprobation when language
is ascribcd tie the distinguished Senator which
he did not employ. and incorrect telegraphic
reports are made the basis for virulent per-
sonal assault. ln onr next issue shall lay
1 before our readcre the remarkably able speech
which has attracted the envy of the Press
and give the candid world conclusive evil
dencc of that journal deep error This speech
will do more, it will convince all that as in
the past so in future WILLIAM BIGLER will
shed lustre upon any position which he may
hold and not receive dignity thercfrom. -
/ From his entrance into public life he has been
noted for that pecnlarity which is the mark
! of all lifelong successful statesmen-he pos
sesscs a growing aud expanding mind.
| The speech he makes to day is better than
any he had made previou.ly; that he will
| make to morrow will surpass it. and thus his
inpromptu address, upon the CRITTENDEN
amendment was the ablest effort of mis- hither-
to life Ii exhibited with great oratoricul
! skill and logical force, the unconstitutional
| ty and incongruousness of this measure -
. Leading the way, he cast light upon what
was yet undiscussed and not understood. He
united the democracy against bill which
had been merely framed for The purpose o.
uniting the motley array who oppose the ad-
miuistration, and which is ten times more OBJ
jectionablc than the Lecompton Constitution
Perfection has never been claimed for TIT
Constitution which was framed at Lecompton
but Mr.. BIGLFR has proved beyond denia
that the CRITTENDEN- MONTGOMERY amend
ment is SO outrageous that many of its sup
porters in the House hang their heads. ai
seek by every means to prevent discussion
which might further expose Its enormities.-

The Rupture between England and
France

The London correspondent of the New
York EcoHontiSt insists that England and
France cannot much longer remain on friend
~ terms 1t is stated that series of ex-
tracts lately given in the London Times from
the published works of Louis Napoleon, it,
which he denounces all sorts ofrestrictions
the freedom of speech and writing, has pro-
duced terrible sensation at the Iullerles.
The reproduction also of the facts connected
with the Swiss defence of the right of asy
lum, when in 1888 Louis Philippe threatened
them with war for sheltering the present En-
peror Napoleon, has contributed desperately
to :hc same feeling, more especially as French
troops were then, as now. concentrated on the
Swiss frontier, and the hostile demand was
made by the Duke of Moutebello. who was
then most devoted servant to the citizen
King, and is now actually the Minister of
Louis Napoleon at the Court of St. Peters

Popr lar Sovereignty Recognized.

The protractcd struggle on the Kansas
question has been productive of at least one
good effect. 1t has committed all parties in
the country to the doctrine of popular soverei-
gnty The MONTGOMERY bill, Objectionable
only because it defers the admission of Kan

practical result which would Eot be equally
attainable though the Lecompton Constitution
yet proposes to admit Kansas whether a
slave or free State, just as the people de-
eide This mode abandons af course, the Will
MOT proviso, and clearly and distinctly recon
nizes the legality Of the territorial laws, and
therefore. of the present and past territorial
legislatures. This bill provides that all may
vote. ''who are legal voters under the laws
of the Territory of Kansas" The Republic
cans in Congress voted for these provisions
and the Republicans out of Congress arc ev
erywhere rejoicing that they did so vote :
For years they have stoutly denied the vail
dity of the laws of the Territorial Legisla
lures, and now they turn around and en-
/ dorse the great fact that the laws passed b.
these Legislatures reaHE are binding upon tn
