earnestly from the beginning against the Sonth-

FRENCH BURLEsQUE OF STRoNG-MIYDED
WOMEN AND AMERIcA.-The Paris CORE
spor dent of the New York Commercial i'd
Vertiser writes as follows:
The French stage has just produced an
Americanism of the strongest marked type,
in the shape of comedy at the Vaudeville
Theater, entitled Des Femmes Fortes- The
Strong Woman, or rather The Strong. minded
Woman for this is the idea the author in
tended to convey.
In the piece "Brother Jonathan" is made
to carry six shooter, a revolving rife, a
Bowie-knife, and pocket full of honey dew
for ruminating purposes; he swears in En-
glish at the end of every sentence, sits with
his hat on) in the presence of the ladies,
astraddle of a chair, interlarding his
speeches, amatory or declamatory, with pro
fame ejaculation, and terminates the sitting
by whiting away the whole back of the
gilded chair.
The femme forte of the piece is au Ameri-
can goyerness named Dorothy" who takes
infinite pains, not without success, to exag-
gerate all the exsggerations of that well
known class in America called strong
minded women. The piece is very wei
written, and will probably have q successful

fess to speak by their authority--as the price
Of their recognition Of our existence.
If the South huldsto the opinion Il pro-
poses, the Union must be divided. The di-
vision can be delayed, but it will be at the
expense Of The North. Each compromise
win not only prepare the way for another;
but will make more certain an ultimate ma
tional catastrophe. Demands can be made,
and will be if encouraged, to which we can
not cultivate ourselves into spirit slavish
enough to submit. The policy of the South
and this is peculiarly true of the Border
States-is to gain possession of the Capital,
with such an appearance OF legitimacy as
shall make it master of the Government as
now organized. Each compromise will bring
them nearer to the point desired; and the
time may come when we will not be at lib
erty TO decide for ourselves whether we,
the people of the North will separate or sub
nit. We have now the alternative. A firm
Government, sustained by people who de-
mand as acondition precedent even Of delibe-
ration, a full vindicatiOn of the Constitution
and laws, may continuelt; outfits aquestlon
of serious import whether nation which
requires, as bond of cohesion, the affirma-
tive employment of an Administration
whose efficiency depends upon so many con-
tipgencies as ours had not better choose Q
favorable opportunity, and seek condition
in which its conflicting elements shall be less
likely to become injuriously active.

-Four Cylinder Logic.

Driven into a corner by. the newspaper
comments on its tortuous course on the
crisis, TIE Commercial attempts a diversion
by attacking Horace Greeley and the Tribune,
for inconsistency toward compromise. 1t is
a safe plan to attack somebody great way
off. Mr.. Greeley's inconsistency consists in
his willingness TO support Mr.. Bates before
the nomination, and in his unwillingness to
compromise the Constitution now. That, the
Commercial regards as perfect qualification.
Then it must be qualification for Mr.. Lincoln
to appoint Mr.. Bates to his Cabinet. See how
readily these failing journalists beat their
brains out with their own fail.
1t is possible that in spite of our glorious
free school system, there may be some who
can not see the difference between willing
ness to take candidate like Mr. Bates, even
if he might have been called a compromise
candidate, on the Republican Platform, and
surrender of the Constitution to armed re-
hellion. II is possible that there are people
who really believe that because politician
is willing TO settle the contest for q party
nomination by compromise, he is logically
bound to compromise the Constitution Il

sBr Buchunnn,s Judicial NOmInatIons


The time has gone BY for Mr.. Buchanan to
MAKE appointments to Office, except such as
expire with his term. Let his nominations
be sbelved by the Senate, till the new
Administration can revise them. For him,
at this time, to make nominations to Offices
which have life tenure, is an attempt to
fasten upon the people rule which they
have overtbrown. 1t is contrary to the
Sspirit of our Institutions" 1t is violation
OF pzopriety and decency. Furthermore,
Mr. Buchanan is not sufficiently master of
himself TO be competent to make nomina-
t;on. II should be void, as any act which
is made under duress. Mr.. Buchanan is un-
der duress by imbecility, intimidation and
fesr and is acting without any intention to
preserve the Government for his successor.
The established precedents should be fol-
loved. especially when an Administration,
which has utterly demoralized and broken
down the Government, is just going out.
Nearly year before the expiration of the
teTm of John Quincy Adams, he nominated,
TO gil two vacancies in the Federal Courts,
John J. Crittenden of Kentucky, and Will
liam Creighton of Ohio. These gentlemen
entered on their duties but their nomina-
tioDs were Tot acted upon in the Senate and
were thus held over nearly a year, and the
offices we're filed by new appointments by

AseoessIon Very Much Needed.

We hope that Congress will at once purge
Itself from all the members of either House
who are notoriously guilty of treason, or
who are now in actual rebellion against the
Government. As it is now, these members
can return at any time and take their seats
among honest men. To expel them, would
be merely completing their withdrawal, and
referring their election back to their con-
stituents. How they will fare then may be
estimated by the defeat OF Yancey and Cobb
for The Conventions in their States. 1t would
be back FIRE to Secession, that would give
it panic. The withdrawn members can not
complain, for they have pretended to separate
Themselves finally from Congress; and if the
people approve their course, they will re-
EJECT them. Let Congress secede at once
from these seeding members, and see what
powerful moral effect it will have.

The u atiOBRIe Of the Enthusiasm of MIR.
A.iaeOIn's Reception.


There was something very different from
the mere excitement of sight seeing, in the
heart felt enthusiasm with which the vast
concouIse Of our people greeted Mr.. Lincoln
yesterday. II was the uprising of confident
hope Ia him as a sign Of the delivery of the
Government from tIeachery, imbecility and
rsscslity; and of its reconstruction fcom the
anarchy which has disgraced this great peo-
pie in the eyes of the whole world. The
people of the North have endured the hu-
initiation and destruction of this Govern
ment, with indignation, not loud, but deep
enough, if let loose, to make a torrent that
would sweep Secession into the Gulf of
Mexico, because they believed that the re-
demptiOn Of the Government by peaceable
means was close at hand. No day was ever
80 longed for by 20, 100000 of people as this
coming Fourth of March. Bondman never
30 longingly counted the days to hisprOmisec
emancipation, as have the people ofthe Nortf
the days to that time when the nation would
be emAncipated from the folly, robbery, i'm
becility, pFemeditated treason, and treacher'
Gus negotiations with rebellion, which have
denoralized, bumilisted, and broken dowE
the Government of this great Republic, unit
ia the whole earth there is no Government
too poor and weak to scoh at ours.
For this hope the people Of the NOrtl
have endured to see treason betraying tn
property and Notifications Of the nation

loyal people of the South deprived Of th

SUBJ ort of Government, and abandoned to
mob rule; and treason in the South opealS
negotiating to introduce the intervention Of
European powers in, this Government.
Never before we're proud people so humil-
lated. TO the Fourth Of March they look as
the hour Of redemption from all this dis
grace and danger; and to Mr.. Lincoln as
the man. This was the feeling that spon-
tapeouslv burst from the thousands who
greeted Mr.. LipcaIn yesterday.
And il may here be said that there is no
symptom from Mr.. Lincoln that this conf
dence is mis- placed While the Government
has been betrayed and rebellion, armed by
the faithltss officers of the Government is
defyin9 il and the Democratic Party are
bowling to break down the Constitution, and
politicians in his own party are becoming
cowed, and emasculated Republicans are
watching for the first symptom of surrender
in him, so as to mount the advance rip
pie Of the ebb-tide, there has been
no sign of quailing in Mr.. Lincoln.
Amid a pressure of circumstances that
would try the stoutest heart, he stands pe--
fectly firm. He took the earliest opportunity
when he started on this journey to reassure
the people that, while he would ask nothing
but the Constitution, the Constitution should
be maintained in its integrity while in his
| trust.
Our people may well give such expression
to their enthusiasm as they did yesterday.
No greater duty ever devolved on mortal
man, than does now on Mr.. Lincoln. Such
great and patriotic hopes never before rested
on single man. And the prayers of mil
lions of people now ascend that he may
| prove worthy of them.
