cit, in his late Webster oraiion, testides that
other statesmen than Mr.. Seward have recog-
nized the "irrepressible conflict between slavery
and freedom; aud that it is not so original or
extraordinary a doctrine as TO provoke the ex-
citement or censure that its utterance by Mr..
Seward last yeor has brought out from the allies
Of the slave interest.

ed, agreeable to'previous announcement, on
the fifteenth. The number Of young ladies
in attendance was 100. This may be DEEM
ed a most satisfactory commencement, in
dependent of every prejudicial circumstan-
stance. But this beginning is rendered
much more gratifying in connection with
the fact that the manner of conducting the
school is new to the people, and in many
instances prejudices have existed as to the
wisdom Of the plan, and even doubts as to
its feasibility and its chances to prosper
live in the minds Of many men today, al
though in the east the contrary has been
demonstrated beyond all question or cavil
We say, then, with these facts before them,
the friends of the institution may pride
themselves that it opens with the most fat
tering omens of ultimate success.
The names of the teachers are as follows:

MExIco.--The administration keeps its
own counsel as to the failure of Mr.. Nc
Lanes negotiations in Mexico. But the
fact cannot be concealed that it is its own
fault that an advantageous treaty was not
made. Juarez was willing to concede eve
rything reasonable and everything really
desirable on our part. But Mr.. Buchanan
persisted in demanding territory, more wild
land to wrangle about and furnish material
for the slavery agitation in Congress and
among the people, upon which the demo-
cratic party relies for political capital
In Mexico their is an apparent prospect of
real fighting again. Gen. Degallado, on
the Juarez part, was at San Luis, prepar.
ing to march directly on the capitol with
Is, 900 effective men, and Miramon had set
out from the capital to meet the advancing
army. A really decisive battle, which
would place either one party or the other
in actual power, would be a great thug for
Mexico.
The ORDINANCE OF FREEDoM.-Sec. 6.
There shall be no slavery in this State and
no involuntary servitudc, unless for the
punishment of crime whereof the parties
have been duly convicted.
Kansas Constitution.
"You may slay the Wilmot proviso in
the Senate chamber and bury it beneath
the Capitol to-day, but the corse, in COM
plete steel, will haunt your legislative halls
tomorrow" So Gov. Seward told the
compromiserS in the U. S. Senate in 1850.
They did not believe him. They Stayed the
proviso and buried it. And here it comes
back to them in complete steel from Kansasl
ANOTHER NAPoLEoNIC TREMoR IN ENGLAND.
The idea of the invasion of England by Napo-
leon is revived again by letter from Paris in
the Independence Beige, which discusses it in
such tone of conscious authority that it at
tracts much attention both in England and
France. 1t is believed to have been written by
a man connected with the French ministry, and
the fact that the paper containing it was stop
ped at the Paris post Office adds to its mpor-
tnnce. The most significant passage of the ar
ticle is as follows:
1--WE must not give way to deceitful illu-
sions Napoleon Ill desires to tear up the
treaties OF 1915, and bring down England
from the rank she holds in virtue of those
treaties. War will not break out unless
the English nation is bent on maintaining
a maritime supremacy, which is conceived
to be no lOngeriu harmony with its strength
1t results from this situation that Napoleon
III. will henceforth uphold the pIeniJude
Cf the national rights of France, without
provocation and without feebleness and
that if the liberals remain in power in the
person of Lord PalmerSton, the cabinet of
st James, will be careful to infuse prudent
reserve into their relations with that Of the
Tuilleries, which may avert all cause of con-
tict or strife between the two maritime pow
ers On the other hand, should the tories
return to Office, it is not probable that they
would consent to submit TO an equality
contrary to their traditions. Then there
will be war, but a war with great difference
in the results that each party may expect
from it for if England is vanquished she
will never reconquer her rank as a great
military and maritime power.
The meaning Of this seems to be- that if Eng
land will not consent to let France become her
equal on the sea, France will compel her to re-
linquish her supremacy. The Constitutional
denies the correctness of these intmations, and
declares that France has no occasion to fear the
supremacy of any power that she can wait a
few years until she grows up to a naval equality
with England, and that she has no wish to die
tate to England any more than England desires
to dictate to her. But the English papers are
troubled with the reports that the sum of eight
million dollars is to be devoted TO the forti6ca-
tion of the French coast, that the works OF
