PEACE OR WAR.

II We may judge by late occurrences in
Europe, the situation Of affairs there tends
moro directly to war than 1T any time since
the beginning ofthe existing troubles. The
circular addressed by the Government Of
Frsncc to tho projects Of the several depart
ments, assuring them Of the determination
Of the Emperor to look beyond the merely
material interests Of the country and to en-
gage in war if necessary, to maintain the
public honor and dignity, and au,horatively
declaring such course that which should
be urged On. thu, attcntM.n, and favor OF the
psoPse by editors Of Journals, is more war
like indie ,ton than all the active prcpar;,-
tons which have been made. 1t gives us a
glimpse behind the scenes, disclosing the
machinery BY which the Emperor would
create or form pubic opinion, or ascertain
now fur he may venture in the course Of
foreign conquest and general dctation which
no has 50 long and SO ardently desired to
pursue. To this circular, a. a like ;ndica-
ton OF real meaning, may be added that ad
dressed D. the Prassiaa Government to it's
diplomatic agents, informing them that
Mlst holdlag itself in reserve, it is resolved
to Do Its whole duty as q me,nler OF the
0ermanic Confederation. The Austrian
t1ovcrnmcnt has, also, addressed circular
letter to the various German Governments,
putting to them the hypothesis Of a war
with Savoy or France, or Savoy and France
united, and advising them to fix upon their
course should any such case arise. When
governments thus suggest officially the pos.
sibility of such events, it j., because such
events have ceased to Dc Improbable and
have At last become imminent.
The mission Of Lord Cowlcy 70 Vienna
seems symptom Of tho increasing serious
ness Of the complication Of diplomatic diff
cu'ties, tho result of an apparently necessary
and inevitable drifting Of the nations into
war. Without doubt the interposi.ion Of
the gaotl Offices Of England between France
and Austria gives room to hope for a peacc.
full result; but, to make necce ssary or prop
er the intervention Of third party. the dir
Get relations between Paris and Vienna must
have reached a point where a good und.r
standing is no longer possible. The good
feeling Of two nations ends where mediation
begins. ,. ....' - ...
Without giving up all idea Of peace, it must
be confessed that everything. at present,
,onds to an opposite issue. War is not GER
tain but it is very nearly SO. Meanwhile
u We :" stand and wait" patiently for the
facts which the future will reveal, VIC can
and should heartily congratulate ourselves
that We are at a safe distance from the scerc
Of threatened encounter and that without
extreme folly and madness. We shall have
no part or lot in the terrible conflicts that
may soon again throw European Govern
ments into the chaotic confusion into which,
they were brought BY the ambition Of the

Louis Napoleon does Intend 10 Declare
-..-a .... War.

NJ. Gaillardet, the correspondent of the
n. Y. Courier des Flats Unis, the organ of
the Bonapartists dom:ciled in the United
States, under date Of Paris 18th Of February.
communicates the following news bearing
upon this question
Three days ago, a person who holds a
high position in the palace Of the Tuilleries.
said to me as follows: 1.-The resolution OF
the Emperor is irrevocab1y taken war will
br'ak out in one month from this time or
two at the farthest. Napoleon III. will
command in person the principal division 0!
the army. This is one Of his oldest and
most ardent aspirations: He has already
shown that he has the genius Of his uncle in
civil affairs he desires to show that lie also
inheritS his military genius. A, Bonaparte
should he a soldier. The resolution Of the
Emperor is So we'll unders' God. and things
have advanced So far that all opposition i.
abandoned, as useless and dangerous. No
boIy wished for war yesterday !; everybody
will wish it o-morrow.

Is THE PLANET MARS ISHABll ED ?-The
opponents Of the doctrine Of he plurality Of
worlds allow that greater probability en-
lists Of Mars being inhabited than in, the case
Of any other planet. His diameter is 4, 100
miles; and his surface exhibits spots Of Diff
ferent hues-lhe seas, according to accurate
observations, appearing to be green, ami the
land red. The variety in the spots, it is
thought, may arise from the planet not be-
ing destitute Of atmosphere and cloud; and
what adds great probability to this. is the
appearance of brilliant white spots at is
.poles which have been conjectured to- be
snow, as they disappear when the have long
been exposed to ;he sun, and are the great
est when emerging from the long MI ht of
their polar winter, the snow line then ex-
tending to about six degrees from the pole
The length Of the day is almost twenty -four
hours, the same as that of the earth. Con-
tinents and oceans, and green sAvannahs
have hem observed upon Mars, and the
snow Of his polar regions has been seen to
disappear with the heat Of summer. Clouds
may actually bc seen floating in the atmos-
phere of the nllnet, and there is the appear

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

The prospects for the permanent union Of
tho Democratic party arc very bad In Pen
sylvania the State Convention, controlled b.
the Administration and its nntlerlngs, has
endorsed the whole policy Of the President.
This has Jissusted large par. Of tie part;
and another Democratic State Convention
has bee" called, to be teid on the 9th dav Of
April hcxt. This is very likely to he the
Case in New York, although the friends of
the old Democratic policy may have sufti-
Gent strength there to control the party. In
New Hampshire the Democracy are united
to sustain Douglas, and in the Western
States will do so. without single cxcep-
ton. The greatest danger is in the South.
There, while the unscrupulous leaders Who
like the Republicans of the North, care not
what may be the consequence Of their rcck-
less demasosuisn, provided they can create
sufficient cbulition in the popular mind to
keep them floating on the surface prob
ably control the State Conventions. and call
upon the Democratic party to abandon its
old non-:ntervention policy in regard to slav-

the South, upon the opposite extreme to tina:
now held by tho Republicans, is fraught
with the greatest danger. 1t is not safe to
discuss even the merits or benefits Of the
Union. Because the discussion creates a
pickering and ini;::i zeal spirit, that is liable to

to bring about this sorrowful state Of affairs;
for in the South the great disunion argument
is "the growing abolition sentiment Of the
North" @ ~- ..' t,'. &is' "1
