A SIGNIFICANT PAMPHLET.

One Of those pamphlets which SO often
precsde the contamination Of centem-
plated measure by the Emperor st the
French has lately made its appearance in
Paris, and has thrown the correspondent Of
the Londsn News into fever OF apprehen-
sion. The writer is N. Chevalier, well
known in literary and political circles as
an author Of great power. The correspeA-
dent has no doubt that the pamphlet is ia
spired by the Emperor, from the fact that
ii is in perfect harmony with the !" known
Of that Monarch. In its general
scope Il argues that Mexico will be Of in
finite value 10 Frsnce, and that the expect
cd value is only to be realized by an early
recognition and Intimate alliance with the
Confederate States. The Southern cause
is pleaded with so much feryor, and the in
stitutisn Of slavery defended with so much
ingenuity, that the correspondent OF the
News thinks Mr.. Slidrll himself could not
have doae il better. AT the same time, he
thinks Mr.. S. would net have urged the
overthrow Of the Msaree doctrine, (in
which, we take il, he is much mistakes,

races. The pamphlet says the present

Constitution-the very groundwork Of our
revolution. But neither Mr.. Slidell nor
the Confederate Government, NOR any other
power on earth, save the people Of those
States in convention assembled, can trans.

States themselves, il is proper TO say that
they evince net the least disposition to
separate from US. On the contrary, at the
late convention Of their Governors, those
high officers representing their opinions
and wishes, declared their 6rm resolution
to sink or swim with their sister States ON
the east Of the Mississippi. This Yankee
story. therefore. is simply Yankee lie,
and nsthing more or less.

The COOPER INSTITUTE MEETNG.-The copper

that Msssrs. Van Buren,, Brady and DAILY de-
serve great deal of credit for their course.
They were astuated by the best possible mo-
tive. They went to give the niggerheads lit
tie useful political information, and the effect
is wonderful Poor Greeley has been quite
conservative ever since. Bryants articles in
the Post are as calm and sweet as his poetry.

criticism upon the administration. Raymond

standing the immense breadth of land withdrawn
from the cultivation of cotton for the produc-
ton of cereals by the rebels they are beginning
to realize the fact that they are not, agricultu-
rally, SO independent Of the rest Of the world as
they claim to be. The prospects of the confede-
racy in regard to its food supplies are, in
truth, exceedingly precarious. In recent re-
port of the rebel Secretary of War most de-
spondent view is taken of them. The harvests
Of the past season, he says, have not yielded
the returns anticipated, although the amount Of
additional land sown with corn was very large
and in many districts the product is below the
average. Tho question of subsistence was
therefore, calculated to excite more anxiety
than that OF the supplies of arms and clothing
of which abundance was obtained from vessels
running the blockade. Other accounts represent
this difficulty as Immediately pressing.
1t is said that the population is everywhere
beginning to feel the pressure of want, and that
it is only by impressment that the government
can get enough food for the army. If these state
ments are not exaggerated for purpose they
hold out prospect Of spcedier termination Of
the war than we had looked for. Hunger is an
enemy dficult to contend with; and II to their
other Affections famine is superadded the
Southern people will not long submit TO the
iron rule that has heaped 80 many miseries
upon them. These considerations should in
duce the federal government to hurry up its
preparations for the capture Of Charleston, Sa-
vannah and the other Southern ports. Once the
rebels find that all hope of relieffrom the external
world is shut out from them, they will begin to
realize the folly Of their conduct, and will rid
themselves Of the obstacles which exist to their
restoration to their former happy position under
the cid government.

GREELEY'5 Gun C0NTRSCrS.-Poor Greeley
had the impertinsnce to deny yesterday that
he was ever interested in gun contracts. If he
will turn to Secretary Stantons oficial report
to Congress he will find the particulars of the
contract fully detailed, with an account Of how
Secretary Cameron endorsed IL with the name
of the Tribune. Does poor Greeley dare TO set
his word against the statements Of official docu
meats? Just before he received this gun con-
tract poor Greeley continually assailed Cam.
eron. After the contract was issued Cameron
was praised. This shows the principle upon
which the Tribune is conducted.
THE COVENANT WTH DEATH.-In yesterdays
Tribune poor Greeley asserts that he never uscd
the words "a covenant with death aud IN agree
ment with hell" in reference to the constitution.
This phrase is an invention Of Garrison's, and Is
one of the stock quotations Of Wendell Phillips.
Perhaps poor Greeley never used such terse,
epigrammatic language, for he has not az much
brains as Garrison or Phillips; but be has been
advocating and illustrating the idea that the
"constituton Is covenant with death and an
agreement with hell" for the last twenty years,
and has lately been exceedingly anxious TO put
II Ia practice.
