fnnct;onaries We commend this to our readers,
&c sion Of the times well worthy their reflection.
Tot them couple with it, State offers of militia TO
the General Government, and State guarantees Of
the bonds of the General Government, and they
W i'll see how rapidly Northern ideas are tending
towards making the General Government a mere
Northern machine. Bad as the Southern
doctrine of State rights may appear when it takes
the shape of State secession this Northern phase Ct
the subject is ten-fold worse and more dangerous.
The one organizes open resistance to the Federal
power, the other does not resist, but usurps it.
The one produces Southern Confederacy for de-
ience-the other Northern Protectorate, for ag-
erosion.
But the subject extends itself beyond our present
space. We will only add, in reference TO Mr.
kENNEDY's statements as TO the departure OF
squads of men from this city TO the South, that it
did not require any particular vigilance on the
part of his detectives to find out, what has been
noticed in all our newspapers. We risk nothing
in saying however, as we do with positveness,
that no movement of the sort has occurred here oil
an illegal character, and that no information can
be communicated, by Mr.. KENNEDY or his asso.
ciates, 10 our own authorities-on that or apv
other subject, within the scope of their duty, as
officers of the law, not politcians-which they
will not be found to be quite fully possessed Of

THE TARIFF BILL was signed by Mr.. Buchanan on
Saturday last, and becomes therefore law. We
learn that there was a further reduction made on
the duties on raw and clayed sugars and molasses,
which are lower than those heretofore published
Some of the provisions of the act will require an
explanatory act, but the President does not think
proper at this late stage of the proceedings to en-
danger the interests of Pennsylvania by vetong or
refusing to sign it.

AMERICANS IN fARlS.-Ine Paris CORRESPONDENT
of the Courier DIES Flats Uis, speaks of some pri
vate theatricals given at the House of NJ. Meredith
Calhoun, planter of Alabama and Louisiana who
has an income of S1S0,000 year. The representa-
ton was French comedy, played by Messrs. anC
Mademoiselles Thorn, Calhoun Field, Melton and
Jones, all Americans. The actors and actresses
acquitted themselves well of their parts and spoke
French without much accent. a ball preceded the
representation of the play.
The correspondent says further that at this party
General Stephenson, OF South Carolina, assured
him that he had had an audience of the Emperor,
who had listened with much kindness to his argu-
ments in favor of the approaching confederation of
the slave States. Some provincial papers have
added that to secure the alliance of Napoleon Ill.
the Southern separatists have offered to put his
cousin Jerome Bonaparte of Baltimore, at the head
OF their Confederation These stories are t3ld for
what they are worth, which the correspondent
says is "not much"
There is, he says, to fnish little fact which is
more historical. The Emperor was present last
Saturday for the first time, at the Representation
of NJ. Lardou's piece, "Stropg minded Women. - at
the Vaudeville Theatre. After the last act of this
caricature on American manners, very marked
gesture of impatierce escaped the Emperor on ac.
count OF the exaggeration of the "claquers," who.
as usual, called back the actors Tie nclauue''
was Immediately killed.
The Emperor Is said to have suggested that, be-
fore any decision is come to with respect to the
projected new opera-house, models in boards shall
be made at the cost of the State of the three plans
which, out of the l60 sent in, the judges may think
the best, and that these models shall be erected in
the Champs Elysees for public inspection This is
order to an architect merely on the strength of
good drau

TIE London Times, Of the Sd inst.
pays its respects TO Governor Brown,
of Georgia, whose message to the Leg
lslature of that State had just reached
England. The Times is particularly
severe on the suggestions Of relaliatory
laws by the Governor of Georgia. 1t
affirms that Governor Brown sets out
with principle which, if carried into
action, will involve the Georgians in
war,inot only with New England, but
with the British Empire, and every
power in Europe. 1t distinctly de-
clares that ''every right of retaliation
which the Southern States have a.
gainst Massachusett they have also
against England" The following ex-
tracts from this long and caustic article
will show its tone and spirit: (
"Inhe history Of the French Oon-
Uenhon, nothing more atrooous is re.
corded than The proposal Of Governor
Bro'cn, that "the Penal Code and all
other laws ofthis State which protect
the lives, liberty and property of the
citizens ofother States while in this
State, be repealed" so far as regards
any State which refuses to recognize
the owners property in his slave with.
in its limits. The only crease for him
IS that he as probably 'criting a"sensa-
ton" message, and knows that his conn.
sci 1ciu neoer be adopted. -
Such are tie auspices under phich the
.Sotsahern States are asked 10 destroy the
Union, schich has latest eighty year $,
and given them place among Me sra
nations of The earth. The world will
Judge for itself what are the chances of
federation in which Governor Brown
shall be leading spirit"
