North, as well as upon the Mexican policy OF
Louis Napoleon. 1t would be better if the en-
tire American Press of the north were as ear
nest and honest in its condemnation of our in>
and lukewarmness, az is our German
Of the "AJemd Zeitung." Whoever be-
lieves in the friendship or the opinions of Lou
is Napoleon, according to the term Of the d.
correspondence and the press Of the
court submits himself to be lookedlupon
as O simpleton and stamps himself as a traitor
to his country or as an abettor of treason. And
now particularly can we say this of a states
man, who in base disdain of all traditions of a
sound national policy, like Louis Napoleon s

is Napoleon has put off; not laid aside his plans
of Intervention. He is only waiting a more
favorable opportunity to commence anew with
them. This opportunity, is perhaps, to be at

reasonable distractions of the Seymeur-Wood

Marquee have done in Mexico. Andghave they
not already begun the wotkll Is not their de-
mand the same as made by Drouyn de L-Huys
to wit cessation Of hostilities besides raising
the blockade and new guarantees for Slavery ?
Yet, the disloysl party are serving Louis
Napoleon's plans, A very short future will
make this evident to the most shortsighted.-
Will there then be unfolded here as in Mexi>
co, from universal distractions and hopeless
ness, a powerful national individuality, which
will iuvigorate the nation to the most strenu,
Gus resistance ? 1t is indeed possible-but
only possible, not certain.
Letters, from Paris, assure US, that after the
battle of Fredericksburg the military prejudice
arose to the highest pitch, aud that every I'M
der officer felt convinced'that a French army OF
100, 900 men could march VIGOROUSLY, almost
without resistance, from on end of the Union
to the other. To destroy this arrogance,b by the
most ~effectual blows, is now the task Of the
Mexicans. May a kind destiny grant, that the
intelligence Of the late defeats of the French
be speedily confirmed. Between Puebla and
Orizaba will be decided not only the fate of
Mexico, bnt also of the United States, SO far as
Ere nch Intervention is concerned.
Something could also be done in this country
to prevent Intervention. Simply military vic
