Mr.. Carlyle's installation speech rs Lord
Rector Of Edinburgh University, will proba-
biz mark new era Of intellectual progrcssin
that ancient seat Of learning, but We hardly
anticipate from 1t any comprehensive results,
80 far as the mental elevation Of the masses
Of the people is concerned Mr. Carlyle Is,
in every respect, mnn Of hygone eras. BIS
sympathics are with the select few Intellect
ual erandees, and not with the masses or
humanity, and however admirable his reTcf-
cDce for Knox, Cromwell and other
heroes, It is, after all, a narrow
worship. II Is but too apt 10 dwarf,
tnl,lc <lelGcation of these few peesonages. the
homage due to those abiding principles. Of
which the heroes themselves we're the tenn
porary exponents. Mr.. Carlyle is as invct-
crate an oligarch as Lord Derby or the Mar
euls Of Westminster, and the tact that his
idolatry is that OF 1noral and Intellectual,
while theirs is of political and territorial mo-
uopoly, alters only the drift and not the Of
ganic wrong Of the principle. Though Ills
faith in monopoly is oi the noblest kind, 1t Is
none the less monopoly, and is altogether IT,
reconcilable with the far nobler aim OF uni
versa, diffusion OF educational and political
rights formerly monopolized by the
few. Carlyle cannot get beyond
the glories of Krox and Cromwell,
hut mankind have sisce advanced, and the
new Rector OF Edinburgh University wastes
his great powers in struggling aguinst the
civilization Of the nineteenth century with
the weapons Of preceding sgea his worship

In tue Prnssiau monarch tnd the
Euel,sh Cromwell, he worshipa this element

WASHINGTON, April l6, 1855.
The check put upon the President by the
passage OF tho Civil Rights Bill In spite Of his
veto has had a wholesome effect. He Is not
entirely. but considerably. subducd. The ar
rest Of Ills cNorta to torce Congress into IN

only be temporary. Indeed, a. long Is the
influence Of the Secretary of State and the
Blair family, and their Copperhead-conserva-
tive adjuucts Is paramount over him, no
permanent changa to the better can ba ex-
pected! But IL is true that defensive passive

that would obtain control Of public Affairs.
Nothing OF the kind has been heard from him
since the great triumph of Congress over bis
undue interference with its political leg1sla-
ton. On the contrary, he has acknowledged
to several OF his futinates within the last few
days that the formation Of third
| party was not practicable; that be had
to choose between the Republican Union
| party and Copperhead Democracy, and that
| any tight to be made hereafter between HUI
self and his opponents, would have to be
| fought within the ranks Of the former. And,
moreover, he has lstely taken pains, that
appeared almost studled, to play the snlaole
toward certain Republican leaders that hare
lately had official Intercourse with him. -
The symptoms Of a favorable reaction al
the White House may be but another part ol
the game Of deception the Executive has
been performing upon the Union party siuct
last summer. But, whether genuine peni
teuce OF prrneditated deluston be thelr raal
motive, It Is, nevertheless, certain, that II
the present conflict Congress W1ll, In the end
achieve complete victory. The certainty
this Is guaranteed, not ouly by the grea
strength and unity Of the majority IN hots
Houses, but also Of the overwhelming pre-
ponderance Of sympathy with Congress
among the masses Of the loyal people Th
most conclusive proof Of the latter has beer
