Bonapartist press are informed what they
may say. Now, although the chief edi-
tor Of the Nation lost a considerable for
tune in human chattels by the revolution
in st. Domingo. and may therefore be
supposed to carry some personal feeling,
into the discussion Of the negro question,
it is impossible, under the regime which
governs the press at this moment to exc
nerate the Government from the respon-
sibility of the arguments which are daily
put forth in the Nation and other Co
vernment papers against the Unied States,
Such in fact has been their success in the
shaping of public opinion, that, if the
Emperor should decide to ask tomorrow
of the Chambers an appropriation for the
employment Of an armed force to open
the blockaded ports, it would be adopted
by an immense majority; and what is
worse, the country would not murmur.
We believe such a war would be so
long, so costly, and so exhausting to the
resources of the future, that factions
would be enabled to raise their heads,
and combine for the overthrow of the
Bonaparte dynasty. But this is not the
question which now occupies our atten-
ton. Is the French Government serious
in this attempt at preparing public OPT
Mon in France for a forcible rupture Of
the blockade? The best reply can give
to this is the following; We know that
the Government journals have orders to
try to depreciate everything connected
with the American Republic, on the alb
stract principle that whatever diminshes
the glory of the model republic strength
ems the empire of France, and lends vi
tality to the Bonaparte dynasty We
know that the Government is seeking to
throw the whole blame of the present
suffering of the working classes on the
American war and the obstinacy Of the
American Government, and also that the
Government is anxious TO be able to
show to the sufferers that it has left no
effort untried to bring about cessation
of the war
But behind all this there seems to be
an under-current of hostility which is
not warranted either by the circumstan-
ces or the necessities Of the case, and
which, to say the least Of it, proves a
most reprehensible want Of good faith on
the pert of the French Governments to-
wards that of the United States. In the
eyes of many people this fact is an indi-
cation that the French Government is 10
earnest in preparing the minds Of the
people for an Intervention, and that, if
all its propositions for obtaining cotton in
a peaceable manner should fail, it will
then adopt NJ. Gravier de Cassagrac's
proposition, and pass the blockade, sword
in hand,
The Moniteur of this morning, in OK
planning the fact of the employment Of
Egyptian negroes for the garrison at
Vera Cruz, says that the plan was adopt
ed as measure of humanity, which is
not amenable to the least criticism -
But the same paper, and all other Govern
mont papers, criticised the American Go.

garrison the Southern forts with men not

The motive of bringing forward the
bill for the enlistment Of negro soldiers
is obvious. An emancipation war will
never be fought by the truly patriotic
aud Christian population Of the North /;
the time is fast approaching when no in
ducements will keep in the army that
large majority of its rank and file which
will not fight for the negro the radicals
have no idea of exposing themselves to
the perils Of warfare; GIeoley's 900 900
and Andrews swarms," which they al
legged to be only waiting for the enamel
patton policy, have not manifested the
least sign of stirring and there really
seems nothing left for the Abolitionists
but to call upon the negro TO put on arms
for the cause of his people
We need not say that this terribly de-
grading resort would be entirely need
less, if Greeley and Andrew would only
make their boasts good, neither Of whom
having as yet issued a summons for the
purpose Gov. Andrew. it is true, has
obtained authority from the Secretary
Of War to raise troops Of African descent
in this State; and if he is able to enlist
even single regiment here, or half of il,
now that the questions one Of downright
fight, we will agree to give him credit for
tho very great exertions which it will be
indispensable for him to use 10 Insure
success. AS for Greeley, so far as we
have seen, be has not made solitary al
fusion to his "three times three hundred
thousand" since the proclamation came
out.
We say the project is degrading one
which will make our latest posterity
blush for us-tbat we had so little man
hood 10 US as to call to our aid on the field
Of mortal strife, for the defence Of " the
land Of the free and the home Of the
brave race Of interiors, to do for US
what we, confessedly, by adopting such
a measure, have not the spirit, energy
and wisdom TO effect for ourselves. Truly.
the mon who concocted and voted for
such bill can only be taken to have
reached the lowest stage Of human degra

daton and dishonor. Such an argument
need not be pursued in detail, for the
whole force of it occurs at once to any
man with spark of manly feeling in his
bosom.
The reasons of practical nature
against the bill are plenty as blackber
ries Nobody doubts that black men may
be brave and often are so, but one thing
is certain, that neither black nor white
soldiers can be so, unless they stand upon
some footing of equality; and this can
never be in any army composed of both
races, except when the dependent is fight
ing with and for bis master. On the
other hand, the idea that anybody but
mailman or scoundrel would think of
arming one hundred and fifty thousand
negroes to serve in single body, or in
any number of considerable bodies, or
that the expectation could be entertained
by anybody that few white officers, un.
able to restrain white soldiers fom crime,
could hold black ones in from the most
horrible bnrbarities--argues degree Of
truly ineonceivable infatuation.
Indeed, the whole thing is preposter-
Gus from the start, and we shall only be
saved from the ferocities which might
cnsue from attempting to carry such an
act into operation, by its utter improba-
bility. 1t is as idle scheme as Mr.. Lin
coins Proclamation, which he said be-
forehand would not FREQ negro, and
which has not freed negro.

considerably Oh the muddy roads, and this
