" THE EMPIRE Is PEACE"

Louis Napoleon has written another letter to his
Minister in London for publication in the British
newspapers. Its purpose is to calm aud reassure
England by the most solemn protestatlons of friend
ship and good will its effect will of course be
quite other than this. England could not 70 get il
she would that the author Of this letter owes his
life to the clemency Of Louis Philippe, and that he
repaid that clemeDcy by confscating the property
of Louis Philippe's widow and children. She can
not forget that he yaulted to power in France with
solemn oath on his lips to defend and preserve
the Republic, and that he used the power 50 OBJ
tanned to overthrow the Republic and slaughter
and exile its defenders. They cannot forget his
assurance to the French manufacturers and mer-
chants that "The Empire is Peace, )" which he elu-
cdated by directly thereafter embarking in need
less, expensive, pernicous war with Russia. They
cannot forget his pacific assurances and protesta-
tons that he had not armed, did not mediate war,
&C. on the eve ofhis late bloody struggles with Aus
tria They cannot forget his prOtestations of dis
interestedness and aversion to cOnquest-his vaunt
that France alone knows how to make war for an
idea-so soon followed by his Shy lock clutch of Sa-
yoy and Nice. This man-of whom q Frenchman
has tersely said "He seldom speaks, and yet he
always les"-now writes letter to Persigny
surchaIged with professions of good will aud dis
Chalmers of evil designs toward Great Britain, the
effect of which Will doubtless be to hurry up her
new Notifications. They can hardly be finished
too soon.
Napoleon tells the English that he desires only
peace--that his Navy is still too small and his
Army imperfect-he has really but -Four Hundred
Thousand men under arms He has great con-
quests to make-but they are all peaceful, and
within the present limits o France. Interpreting
him by the rule of contraries, which experience
has shown to be the only safe one, we look for q
new and bloody European war to break out within
the next year, and to see him at the head of an
immense army in Italy or upon the Rhine. We
do not thiD k his time for an invasion of England
will come before 1862. 1t may never come; but
that will not be his fault. We all know that lava
sion is one of the Napoeonc Ideas, and any of
these may be deferred but never abandoned. So
let John Bull strengthen bis feet a1d looh we'll to
bis stronghods. These may save hIm; Nlpoeonic
letters never will.

The Hon. Daniel L. Sickles proposes that the
cor test as to bis seat in the present Congress be
decided by the People of the District as follows:
Let Mr.. williamson and himself run for the ne,t
House, and let the successful candidate take the
seat also for the residue of the present term with
out further contest This seems fair enough so
far as the contestants are concerned but hardly so
fair to the People, who may possibly prefer third
person to either Mr.. Sickles or Williamson, aud
have clear right to indulge that preference, so
far at least as the next House is concerned. To
be fair and just to all parties Mr.. Sickles should
resign his claim to sit in the present House, be-
comnga candidate for the vacancy and also for the
seat in the next Congress, Mr.. Williamson ex-
pressly giving up the present contest and taking
the same course. Then LET the People elect Mr..
Sickles or Mr.. Williamson, or any one else to
both the vacancy ard the next House; let the
election be held fairly, aud let its result settle the
whole controversy. We make this suggestion
without consulting any of the parties, but In the
hope that, being fair and just to all, it may prove
generally acceptable.

Col. James L. Orr, late Speaker of the House

Lincoln is going to be elected The Albany Argss,
Soft State organ in recent article, virtually sd-
mits the same thing. This point being settled.
the question naturally arises, What are 700
"goipg to do about it ?" Col. Orr says the South
ern States ought to secede from the Union, bat
doubts whether they will. The Argus says en-
phaticaly that the responsibility shall rest where
it belongs, and that the public shall understand
"who is in fault" We share with the ex.Speaker
in his doubts, and tender our aid to the organ in
its endeavors to place the responsibility Of Lin

II! is ludicrOusly apparent that The Albany argus
is both Disguised ard disbeartened at the harmony
which ruled in the Breckenridge State Convention
II saws: "The Convention was run by the Gideon
81. fuckers, John A. Greenes, and men of their
"caliber and spirit, and was the embodiment OF
disappointed ambition, mortified vanity, and
"petty malignity." Doubtless the most influential
Democrat whose cOunses guided the Convention
was Daniel S. Dickinson-a fact well known to
The Argus Last Summe' while the Regency
was drawing Mr. Dickinson into its snare, The
hrgus, as its mouth piece, daily beslavered him
with the most extravagant aud fulsOme praises.
Having eDmeshed him, tied him hand and foot, the
Regency ilched him temporarily of his good name,
and then inflicted upon him all sorts of mdignties,
sneerpg at his credulity, jeering at his Presden-
tial pretensons, and finally, at Charleston and
Baltimore, subjectiDg him to series of swindles,
a concentration of cheats, that would have aston.
ished dealers in spawned horses and tingled with
shame the cheek of every thimble-rigger in the
country. And now, when the victim of this
conspiracy cuts himself loose from these en-

mere spectators of this fight But we love fair
play, and can applaud just retribution. We
assure Mr.. Dickinson, that the great public, ire

principles involved in this contest between him and

Without passing upon the justice Of stigma
tizing the supporters of Breckenridge as "lnter-

that the principle here laid down by MIR. ID. Is
sound and just. For men who agree in essentials
TO suffer themselves to be divided and defeated by
adherence to hostile names, is childish and unpatri-
otto. And if the old Protective Tariff, Riger-and-
Harbor- Improvement, Clay Wings Of the Country,
are really or nearly identical in principle with Mr.
Douglas-who has ever been q bitter, uncompro-
missing antagonist of all Mr.. Clay's distinctive

saw that they will run fusion Bell-Dougas ticket
in Georgia. and take that State from Breckenridge
Ditto in Louisiana. DittOin every Southern State,
except where they can damage Breckenridge
more by running separately. If this game shall be
boldly, Systematically played, the Douglas men
not strong enough to carry of themselves a single
Slave state-will probably defeat Breckenridge In
majority of Them and SO exclude him from the House
and Lane from the Senate. Now, what puzzles
us, is that Douglass organs, like The Albany
ALas, should object to the running of Breckenridge
tickets in States like this, and say the Breckenridge
men ought to vote the Douglas Bell ticket, IN order
to throw the election into the House. How so, II
the Dougas-Bell coalition in the South shall over
bear Breckenridge and shut him out of the House!
What is the inducement for giving Breckenridge
votes to the Douglas ticket Let us understand!

NORTH CAROLINA.-The majority for Gov. Ellis
will hardly vary from 5000. The vote is very
heavy. The Democratic majority in the Legis-
lature, though reduced, is sufficient. An attempt
is now to be made to organize Douglas party
in the State, the existing Democratic organization
being entirely in the hands of the Breckenridge
men. If the Douglas men mean to take the State
from Breckenridge, they must vote the Bell ticket
direct, as of the thirty or forty Democratic
journals in the State all but one, if not every ono,
support Breckenridge.
