The favorite projects OF France always point in some
military direction thus the frontiers which she demands
and the acquisitions which she makes, far more like
ly to promote her military power than to add to the
prosperity of her people.
The question now agitating the public mind of Eu
rope is the understood desire of France to the
Dutchy of Savoy, a part of the dominions
of the Kingdom of Sardinia and forming the neucleus
of that Kingdom or rather of the territories of the
regning house, who originally Counts of Savoy.
Small in extent and in population, surrounded by the
highest ridges in Europe, and containing the highest
mountain, Mount Blanc Savoy can only be important
to France as containing also of main passes from
France into Italy, and its possession would enable France
to pour her egons at almost any time down upon the
plains of Piedmont.
That Louis Napoleon desires this annexation, there
appears to be little doubt and little that these desires
inspire the other powers with certain jealousy. They
reason that if he seeks to recty the frontier the
Southeast he may also wish to do 50 the Northeast
If he wishes to command the passes of the Alps he may
also wish to command the positions the Rhine hence
the uneasness of Prussia and Belgium and hence Also
the evident GOODNESS of Russia which dscourages nno-
walton.
At this moment the Emperor of the French is thrown
upon England his only ally. On the Continent he is
either isolated or dstrusted The lcemented power of
1ctOr Emmanuel amounts LU uUthlIg whcu the shock
comes. The rupture with the Pope hardly fail to
be felt, when reaction comes, it will in Italy.
A few more steps forward-the sighted evidence Of
weakness and imprudence and Louis Napoleon is gone
England will not forget that defensive preparations
which the presence of Bonaparte on the throne Of
France rendered necessary will increase her taxes forty
five millions Of dollars during the present year. Austria
will not forget her humiliation nor Russia her Crmesn

BSS~ We have half notion not to waste good cour-

and we certainly would carry out notion but for the
tender regard we have for those who might be made to
suffer innocently for the faults of others
As anticipated. the convention which met at Raleigh
on the 22nd, did incontinenty charge upon the Demo
cratic party the most outrageous and henous offences
indicted them as the authors of pretty much all the ills
that flesh is heir to- while Mr. Rayner and others gave
to Henry Winter Davis Co.. that endorsement which
thew might wish for in vain from the members of
their own party in the State of Maryland. of course
Mr. Rayner would just as soon vote for Black Re
publican as a Democrat, and he said so, though not
without rebuke from Mr. Smith, of Halifax
Messrs Badger and Graham were present with the
most disinterested motives. 1t is true VIM. A. Ora
ham of North Carolina once figured upon Presidential
ticket which was badly beaten and would like to figure
again. while Mr.. Badger is getting FESTIVE under his en-
forced retirement He is after Clngman's place.
We have not yet got the resolutions for the Register,
strangely enough, has not come to hand. We only
gather the import of some of them from different sources
The Herald of to-day will, we suppose, bring them
along with other matters. 1t would appear that the
West went for ad valore, and the East opposed it
that, coupled with this proposition, comes another to
change the basis upon which political power rests, for
such is really what is meant by demand for Conven
tcn to amend the Constitution. OF course the West
prevailed.
How Mr. Pool can reconcile the West to his position
internal improvements, the East to his revolution
ary notions on taxation and the basis of representation
remains to be SEEM He is but to be made catspaw of
