last, suddenly, and may be considered o. the
transition period of the republic, from gigantic
infancy, to national manhood, whish will have
had no parallel in the history Of Tho wsrid The
trials by which the country II agitsted, are but
part of the inevitable process, through which
every Power must pass, that would attain its
full stature of grandeur and prosperity. The
ordinary rules elaborated so earnestly in his
opinion on the Merriman case, By Chief Justice
fancy, cannot apply in such cases. The
attempt to abide by them, would be an aban-
donment of the first law of nature, and opposed
to every healthy instinct Of humanity. For
President Lincoln to have waited to ask per-
mission of Congress to save the republic from
destruction, would have been more culpable
than for helmman to have RETAINED from
dashing vessel on the breakers because he
had received no orders from his captain.
The 4th Of July, when Congress will convene,
is but four weeks of. Before its sessions shall
have lasted many days, every pretext will
have ceased for accusing the President of
having violated the constitution, and the bot
tom will have fallen out of the argument which
the friends of secession, through the mouth of
Judge fancy, have taken such pains to frighten
the public with

Che Foreign Press Discussing American
Affairs.

The Foreign Press Disc usslng American
Affairs.
For some months past an earnest and spirited
discussion has been going forward in the Paris
daily newspapers concerning the affairs of the
United States. OF these there are fourteen,
and only one of the number (the Pays) we 6ad
sides with the South in the present struggle.
The editor of this one is the we'll known Gar
nier de Cassagnac, whose family connexions
were interested in slave property at the time
France emancipated her negroes, aud this &C.
terness with which he, has day after day, as
sailed bis adversaries, who have stood up man
fully in defence of the loyal North.
We have thought this discussion worthy Of
mention, because it affords good instance Of
the interest which is felt abroad on the subject
of the rebellion in this country, and the warmth
that distinguishes the foreign press in de-
batting the important question Of our national
unity. But it is not in France alone that our
affairs have engaged ard will continue to
engage 20 large share Of public attention.
In England the news from the United States
is awaited with an anxiety equal to that felt
during the campaign in the Crimea, and on the
arrival of every mail from India during the
mutny; and, with few exceptions, we must
admit that events in this country have been
comprehended with a degree of accuracy
hardly to have been expected on the part Of
he foreign press The arguments have been
conducted with tolerable impartiality, and we
have no cause to complain of lack of sym
pathy or respect for the cause so vital to our
uational interests in which we are now engaged.
The popular sentiment abroad, whatever may
be the broodings Of Cabinet ministers, is in
favor of the North and the Union, and the
glorious triumph of republicanism in the New
World.

1t Ia true that martial Law was not declared
by Congress-, ncr proclaimed BY the President,
cor tho writ of habeas corpus suspended BY
Congress. But necessity knows no law, and
war existing, tho President assumed tho no
sponsibility, relying upon the msgnanimity Of
the people and the Justice Of Congress to sus-
tain him under the extraordinary and UMPIRE
cedented circumstances in which he was placed
The government was fighting for its own ex-
isten9e0nd it was not . time to be over soru-
pulous about technicalities of Law, or rigid
observance of the letter of the constitution,
the action of the Chief Magistrate being wholly
in the interest Of the people, and not for any
purpose of faction or individual oppression.

IRELAND'S OPPORTUNITy.-It is q traditional
maxim among the Irish revolutionists that
"England's difficulty is Ireland's opportunity"
Ireland never had so good an opportunity, aud
may never have a better one again than what
the English government seems likely to afford
her by its policy in relation to the unhappy
civil war which is now inaugurated in the
United States; and, Judging from various
symptoms, il is not improbable that she will
avail herself of the blunder of John Bull to
assert her independence. She has surely as
good right to it as the Southern coniederacy;
and with the aid afforded her by the United
States and probably in the end by France, she
would be far better capable Of maiat aiming
herself than the secession government
We publish to-day remarkable article from
he Dublin irishmon, showing that the moment
ii appeared England had taken sides with the
South, Ireland ranges herself on the side of the
North; and should British policy become more
defined and more decidedly hostile, there is
every reason to believe that the Irish
people will not conHne themselves to words.
There are as many Irishmen not enlisted in
sufficient to break the British yoke from Irish
necks forever. They pant for the opportunity
to strike the blow. All that they desire is to
be landed on their native SOIL when million
of men in arms would rally around the Star
Spangled Banner and their own ancient
" sunburst" under which Brian Born led their
ancestors TO victory. America has the ships.
and can fad the arms and the money necessary
for the expedition. As to its result who can
doubt? France, her nearest neighbor and
ever warm in her sympathies for Ireland,
would gladly lend her secret aid, and soon
even recognise the independence OF ireland
From the very outset France would undoubt-
eddy recognise her as belligerent, to which
England could not fairly object, being the rule
she established for her own conduct in the
case of the Southern confederacy. What
havoc of British commerce would not Irish
sailors make In American privateers2
With the loss OF Ireland the British empire
would be far more crippled than could the
United States he by the loss Of the South.
Ireland is her right arm in war, manning her
army and navy, and her granary at all times
furnishing her sustenance and free market
for her manufactures. England, by the loss of
Ireland, would become third or fourth rate
Power; aud would not France rejoice at such
q consummatonf Let Britsh rulers, therefore,
beware how they NEEDLE with the integrity OF
this Union. We have the power to carry the
war into Africa and enable an oppressed
nationality to redress her long catalogue of
wrongs, stretching over centuries in an un-
broken chain.

GOVERNOR HICKS AND LonD LyoNs.-It win
be remembered that, pending the late secession
reign of terror in Baltimore and Maryland,
Governor Hicks, of that State, proposed to Mr..
Seward that Lord Lyons, the British Minister at
Washington, be accepted as arbitrator to ad-
just the differences between tho government Of
the United States and that of Jefferson Davis
and his rebel confederates. Our readers win
also remember the prompt and indignant repu-
diation by MIR. Seward of this or any such pro-
position of pacidcation. But what we should
like to know in this connection is this: How
did this brilliant idea of arbitration happen to
enter the mind Of Governor HicksS Is this
thing at the bottom of the crooked policy Of
Lords Palmerston and Russell? Ara they
giving aid and comfort to this Southern rebel
lion in order to step in as mediators by sud.by,
upon plan Of peace recognizing separate
Southern confederacys Really we Think 1t
would be well TO cross-examine Governor
Hicks upon this subject.

spirit that was aroused by tie corspir,tors in
England, Cannot now be appessed. Anti-sla-
very is no longer the instrument but the mas
ter of those who conjured 1t into being. Just
as Puritanism which was patronized by the
Successors Of Henry Will for their own selfish
purposes. became the means Of beheading one
of their successors and of dri ing dynasty out
of the kingdom, so the abolti olAement, If op-
posed, may end with equal disaster now.
Dark clouds hang over the future Of Great
Britain, and, no matter what course its govern
ment may pursue, q revolution is perhaps
impending there, which cannot be long de-
layed; but the day of Its calamity will be
near at hand indeed, If its government should
be insane enough to risk war with the United
States, at period, and on a question, which
would be sure to cause fatal civil disturbances
at home.

REVOLUTION IN THE ENGLISH PsEss.-It Is
now about ten years since the reduction was
made on the paper duty in England. Siaos
then vast revolution has taken place in the
condition and prospects of English journalism
Three or four years ago the Morning Chronicle,
from being one of the most fourishing of the
London dailies, had sunk down to circulation
of few hundred. The introduction of what
is called the American system Of Journalists
led to the reduction of its price to a penay.
and 1t has now circulation of over sixty
thousand. Other dailies which were ests-
blished on the same system enjoy an equally
large share of the public patronage. To suoh
an extent has the London Times been affected
by the competition that it Is said Its directors
have it in contemplation to place itself On
level with them in price
This indicates more than mere commer-
cial revolution. The high priced papers
were, as it is well known, the organs OF
the aristocratic and moneyed classes, and
had, Of course, only limited circulation.
Their main revenue-that from advertise
ments - was, nevertheless, derived from
the community at large. The fact that
they are now obliged to adapt the price Of
their issues to that charged by their rivals. in
order to sustain themselves, shows that the
masses in England are developing rapidly their
political intelligence, and that the aristocracy
are losing that ascendenoy over them which
high priced newspapers and books had given
them. Lord John Russell rand his colleagues
had better not lose sight of this fact in their re-
lations with us. If, as it may be assumed from
the large circulation of the peany papers, tho
English people are beginning to think iudepen-
IDENTITY for themselves, the American crisis may
give those statesmen occupation at home other
than that which they anticipate from it's
commercial effects. Whatever may be the
disposition of the English aristocracy towards
us, the masses, judging from the tone of the
liberal papers, are evidently with U.S. 1t would
require but little to fan the dissatisfaction
which they already evince with the equivocA
policy of their rulers, into a storm of resent
ment, and perhaps to extend to the whole class
which they represent the vengeance which
their unfriendly conduct towards us merits.
