Tolerate States OF America.
| The Paris correspondent Of the N. o. Plea
yune communicates the following important

Judge Rost continues at his post and exerts

terests conflded to him. l have already men

! LANGUAGE nevertheless, 1 may quote to you
| what the Paris correspondent of the London
| Times said in a recent letter 1.-THE recog-

| up here and assure you it is the truth -
| The most influential men connected with the
| Government are strongly in favor of it

Esparbip, one of the editors Of In Patrie, which

rate States. 1t is entitled, i" The Amssican
Revolution Revealed" Here is its conclu-

| The struggle has begun. If the South
| trlumphs, its victory Will forever free 1t from
| Il system of commercial yassala age which mill

nomicai yoke, against which it is determined

which II is resolved never to bear again; its
| defeat would be the signal for the annihila-

| induce the ruin of the South, and its ruin
| would be felt in Europe in a most disastrous
| manner, for 1t would dry the sources whence
| Europe draws the raw materials which have

ask the question, for such Will be the terri BILE

not allow this victory and the clear far reach

which interests the prosperity of France in so

| Here is IN article which appeared in Friday S
La Patrie, and which ! commend to your at
| tention, for it shows the change taking place
| in public opinion here:
| "Publc opinion is forming daily in France
| upon the true character of American events,
| and as event after event takes place, a change
| gradually occurs in the best minds-a change
| which so thoroughly corroborates the policy
| we have adopted, we must not neglect it.
| What were our assertions? We asserted in
| the first place: The Southern States had a
| right to separate the Institution was silen

| amendment TO the Constitution had provided
| that all powers not expressly delegated to the
| Constitution are reserved 10 the several States

, UNFAIRLY blind, who have obstinately formed
| their opinions. We find this right insert bed
| on the frontispiece of the Constitution, which
| mentions that " when the thirteen American

| We have it in our power TO support these sol

| Federal Constitution, by the deliberate opin

| Democracy, and by other important docu-
| ments, all of which prove beyond question
| that the several States of the Union have q
| right to secede. La PreSse now understands
| this question as we do. 1t says, in a very
| remarkable article: There is now between
the South and the North no longer any ques
ton of right, it is Il question of fact-that is, a
| revolution. 1t is with the revolution the
| North must now reckon. Can you reduce
| it? This is the only and the true point of the
debate. These are the very words used fl f.
