Tn UNITED STATES IN TIE GREAT PARIS
EXHIBITION. There Is every prospect that tho
United States viii be well represented In the
great Paris Exhibition. The Yankee nation win
be thsre in every variety and form. Minerals,
cereals, inventions, laborsaving implements,
yachts and emotions" will convey to the people
Of the Old World some idea Of the resources,
wonders, wealth and ingenuity Of their trans
atlantic cousins. Not the least interesting
portion OF our contributions will be large
party Of Indians Of the Northwestern tribes,
who are to be exhibited in their native
costumes and carry with them their impie-
ments Of war and agriculture. An apparently
intelligent European lady some years since,
upon being introduced to an American gentle
man, expressed astonishment at finding him,
a. she expressed it, "nearly IS white as an
Englishman." II is TO be hoped that we
are by this time well enough known
across the water to prevent the red warriors,
their squaws and papooses, from being re-
sarded ~ genuine specimens Of the citizens Of
the United States. ,els4ss
The great exhibition will no doubtybe !
brilliant success, and will cast all former SINH
lar attempts into the shade. Napoleon has set
his heart upon triumph, and will achieve one.
He has declared that there shall be no Euro
pean war to interfere with it, and has subordi-
mated to IT'S interests great political and diplo-
matte questions. His desire to avoid any COM
plications in Mexico may have been sharpened
by his anxiety for the fate of the Exhibition.
He has resolved that it shall be the most inn
portant and interesting display that the world
has ever seen, and he will spare no efforts to
make 1t so.
The United States will occupy very i'm
portant position in the Exhibition. Our
late war has made us an object Of in
terest in the eyes Of all people. The
great military power and immense resources
tested by that struggle have astonished the
world and are at this very moment working
revolution that threatens to sweep away some
of the effete monarchies Of Europe. Every
American must feel anxious that the display we
make shall be worthy of the nation. 1t is to be
hoped that the commissioners who are APP
pointed on the part Of the States will spare
no labor In the discharge of their duties. Our
great mineral wealth and our enterprise and
ingenuity as people should be set before the
eyes of Europe In such an array as to impress
all countries with proper conception Of the
future that is in store for us. Let this DO
effectively done, and il will not be long before
its influence upon the people and the govern
ments Of the Old World Is made apparent

srcAN DIFHCylTrEs-Th resolution adopted on
Monday in the House OF Representatives, on
the motion of Mr.. Bingham, in regard to the
hostilities existing between Brazil and Para
quay, Is one that will be regarded with very
general satisfaction. Although it is not the
policy Of our government to interfere in the
Disputes Of other governments, there are times
when an offer of friendly arbitration between
them becomes rs acceptable TO the bolligercnts
as it is beneficial to the party making IT. II is
TO our interest, as it is to the interest Of the
world generally, that q condition Of things
which interferes with commercial transact
tons should mol be suffered to drag on indeH-
nitely when the exercise OF our influence
might promptly terminate II. This Is
species Of Intervention which is legitimate,
and which, in our position as the leading
Power OF this continent, we are justified
in rcsorting TO. II Is quite consistent with
the Monroe doctrine, which aims only at
preventing an interference which has selfish
objects to promote, and which covertly pushes
those objects under lying diplomatic pretsnces.
II Is, moreover, time that an effort Of some kind
should be made to put an end TO the sangui-
nary conflict which is killing of the popula-
tions, and exhausting the resources of the
States involved, with all of whom we are on
friendly terms. Whatever difficulties stand in
the way of our action it is in the power Of Con-
gress to remove; and we are glad that the pre-
liminary steps have been taken to insure legis-
lation on the subject.
WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAYs.-The President,

took occasion TO demonstrate against the pro-
