MR.. BANCROFT ON THK DRCLARA-
TION OF INDEPENDENCE.

Mr.. Rufus ChOate, deceased, has left upon rec
ord his opinion that the ethics of the Declaration
Of Independence are merely " glttering generali-
" ties" Mr.. Caleb Cushing muzzy aud may as
he is in thought and expression, has contrived to
assert with tolerable cearness that in his opinion
" all men are not born free and equal" Mr..
Charles OConor is Of the same mind. So in his
day was Mr. John C. Calhoun. OF course there
is nothing to be astonished at in this resort to AFRO
CANT paradox. These gentlemen, living or dead,
having determined beforehand to defend a bad ava.
tenn, could begin the work in no other way than by
Ignoring the axioms Of the Revolution. Not until
the broad humanity Of the Declaration had been
explained philosophical, and sophisticated to mere
nothingness, or to something sadder, were these
traitors to universal fraternity able to repeat with.
out bushing sentiments too revolving to be suddenly
and markedly promulgated. Their dismal couclu-
sions, which dogmatically forbid all hope of the
equality Of man in view of any human govern
ment, will hereafter be read with wonder, and are
TOO signal departure from the traditions of the Re-
pubic to be presently or speedily forgotten. Their
most natural reutaon is to be- found in the steady
the intuitive convictions OF the American mind.

NAPOLEON HI.

1t is in vain that the French Emperor and the
French press attempt to reassufe Europe, and es-
pecially England, as to the Emperor's pacific
intentions by appeals to the past. However loyal
a neighbor and faithful an ally the Emperor may
have been for ten years past, that affords very
little security as to what he may be for ten years
to come. Apart from any innate loyalty to his
promises and engagements which as the past
abundantly shows, he only considers binding 30
long as be esteems it convenint to keep them, he
had reasons for moderation and peaceable behavior
in the past, which no longer exist. The tenure
by which he held his power was as yet uncertain,
and it was necessary to strengthen and confirm bis
authority at home before undertaking to extend bis
dOmiDiops abroad. To have engaged at that time
in enterprises which might embroil him with his
peighbors, would have endangered his hold upon
the dominion he had usurped. Being weak, he
adopted the policy Of the weak. He courted the
alliance of England, and he carefully abstsinsd
from any thing which might revive the aptpathies
of the past.
Since the Crimean, and more especially since the
Italian war, his necessities in this respect have TO-
tally changed. He has no longer any occasion TO
confine his attention so exclusively to home affairs
He has On immense army and navy, whose taste
for military glory has only been whetted by the
short Crimean and Italian campaigns. He 10
man of dark and secret designs which at any mo-
ment, as in the case of the italian war, may lead
to movements calculated to make the most mate
rial changes in the map of Europe. SO long % no
continues to keep up his army on its present foot
ing, 90 long as every effort is made to extend and
increase his already formidable naval power, it is
not possible that his neghbOr skould look on with
out some serious misgivings as to what he may do
next. The annexation of Savoy and Nice now
just completed, however the Emperor and his min
listers may seek to explain that away as an excep-
tional case, inevitably draws attention to possible
designs upon Belgium and Prussia. The boundary
of France having been extended TO the Alps,
BY a natural association of ideas, the Rhine
uggests itself as likely now to become m
object of desire, at least the left bank
of it, on the part OF the Emperor. Who
knows how soon this late faithful ally and
oyal neighbor, after the example Of bic uncle,
which he 80 much affects TO make the basis of his
policy not content with being merely Emperor Of
France, may set up as dictator of Europe' It
cannot be pretended that France 10 In any danger
Of invasion or attack. The immense Nj itary aad

naturally suggest the idea Of offensive operations.

cost in Washington is every way wrong and perni-

6ghtenment, and leave the work of supplying the
People with information to those whose vocation it
is and whom the citizens shall see fl to patronize
in that csling-and that the atrocious aggrayatiOn
of the original injustice involved in the Franking
Priyllege-that is, the conveying Of some mems
letters and documents at other mems expense
ought to be speedily and finally abolished.

The Central Park Commission yesterday pre-
scented an estimate to the Board of Supervisors of
$97, 500 as necessary for the " care, management,
and government" of the Park for the year. The
law authorizes an expenditure of $50, 900 year.
Mr.. Tweed offered resolution calling on the
Counsel to the Corporation for an opinion as to
whether the Board of Supervisors were bound to
make the appropriation. He said that the
Park had cost more than S11 900, 900
already. Mr.. Purdy supported the resolution, as
did Mr.. Ely, who said that the Park would cost
S50,O00,0OO before it was finished. The resolu-
ton was adopted.

on the other hand they would bring their motley
forces into ine though they could not choose their
Electors, they would stand very good chance
in view of the smolderiDg local and other feuds in
the Republican ranks-of running in part OF
their State Ticket, and even carrying the Assem-
bly,, which will have voice in the choosing of a
United States Senator for six years ensuing. In
that care, we trost the claims of ex-Gov. Wash
ington Hunt viii not be overlooked. He has been
standing out in the cold good while.
There is oUc discouraging circumstance to be
taken into the accountants, namely: that each
successive Election since the Republican party was
formed has witnessed an increase of its relative
strength. That strength was, of the total vote
pOlled, very nearly as follows: ln
In 1855. .................. about 30 per cent
. In 1866. about As per cent.
In S5S..-...-............ab about 40 per cent.
In 1851 -.....--........-.ove over Az PEI cent.
1t requires but little arithmctical capaciiy to
compute what it is likely to be in 1860.

was Col Frem0nt's in 'J6--276, 000-whcn he had
