The Judgment which the most intelligent Euro
veens are passing upon the American CORstitu-
fion in view of the modern theory of Secession,
is puugently expressed in the following extract
from that ablest of British journals The Saturday
Reriep, of London:

maintenance of the Union, the preservation OF
The Constitution, and the Enforcement OF the
Laws.
