Of fools He was elevated only to be dashed
to pieces. His inveciives and his attempts to
set in operation the whole revolutionary ar
tillery, have separated clearly the liberals of
the left wing from the mad demagogues and
the theorists ofFrance. They are now small
and bafled set of irreconcilabes, and their
leader is on his way to prison for violation Of
law. The Emperor is stronger than ever,
and France is likely to have new lease Of
peace.
But while the government has profted by
the mistake and crimes of its enemies, we do
not see that it has yet made certain its own
continuous power 1t has not made any at
tempt at education or at the reform of cleo
tons. 1t is not educating the people to the
use Of power. In a state truly republican
there is no line of distinction drawn between
order and liberty. So to undertake to pre-
serve order alone, is to keep up a military
dictatorship. BY a military surveillance the
very essence Of republican government is
vitiated If the condition of France is al
ways precarous and uncertain, it is simply
because it aims to maintain order and liberty
by physical force and force never adds any
solid guaranty to order or liberty, because it
is subject to laws Independent Of the human
will, and because any greater force instantly
over balances it, 1t seems as if the leaders
Of church and state in the world would never
learn that the foundations of society are
moral and not physical, that every interfer-
euce Of military force in administration of
civil or religious affairs is inexpcdient, I'M
settling aud destructive. Men arc very dull
students Of history. Empires and republics
are both in danger Of overtbrowing liberty,
because they deem it not a principle, but
simply an expedient. And emperors are
not the only persons who yainly imagine that
military force is good nurse and protector
of civil liberty The only rock on which to
build for ages is the well instructed consent
OF the people to the principles of liberty and
law which are revealed in the word of God
The only eye that can quel the blazing pas
sions Of an unreasoning democracy, or temper
the rigors Of an absolute power, is the eye of
God. Christianity lies at the foundation of
the security Of states, because it alone re-
ycals the true principle and law Of liberty.

Admission of Virginia.

One of the most perpexing questions for
our congressman to solve, and one in the de-
termination of which an honest difference of
opinion may well be looked for and tolerated,
is that respecting the immediate admission OF
Virginia to representation. The first I'M
pulse of everybody is to say, yes. The de-
sire is well nigh universal to see the recon-
struction middle ended and the good old
Union restored Another argument is drawn
from the sense Of justice and right which each
one possesses. 1t has been universally ac-
cepted doctrine Of the Republican party that
Congress had both the power and the right to
demand certain things of the rebelhous States,
which when performed should be considered a
sufficient indemnity for past misconduct, as
well as a guaranty for future good behavior
Such conditions were laid upon Virginia, and
so far as the outward act goes, she has COM
piled with them all. 1t was not one Of those
conditions that she should elect the Wells
ticket in the recent State election, though we
might have hoped she would do So Having
therefore performed her part of the contract
why should not the other party do the same
True, Mr.. Sumner, Mr. Edmunds Mr.
Thayer and Mr.. Drake, as well as a good
many reliable Republican members of the
other House, tell us that it isn't safe to admit
the State while such state Of feeling contin-
ues as they say now exists but we cannot
quite understand in what that feeling consists,
nor do we know in what overt acts it has been
manifested. Our hestaton--and perhaps
theirs--is derived mainly from what we have
seen to be the case in other States,-Georgia,
Tennessee and Kentucky. But we donot forget
that in Georgia the trouble is due as much to
the unfit men who have managed the Repub-
lican party, as to the disafIection of the late
rebels and similar statements might be made
respecting Tennessee. One argument has
been used both ways-the argument that the
life of the Republican party demands, as one
side say, the immediate admission of Virginia
or, as the other side say that she be kept
out still longer. The argument is an I'M
worthy one, either way. There is a course
which is right and just to pursue, and that
course should be pursued, whatever effect it
may have en- the party. Nor will such a
course injure the party in so far as it is worthy
of support.
We hold Congress responsible for recon-
structing the Union in manner which shall
be effectual against future secession and con-
duciye to the peace and prosperity of the
country. We also require of them to finish
the work as speedily as they can, and have it
well done. Knowing the circumstances, they
must decide it, But from the standpoint OF
what we understand to be the condition of at.
fairs in Virginia, we can see little reason for
hesitation.

Mn. SUMNER's BLL.-Mr Sumner brought
in his bill TO the Senate, on Wednesday, to
refund and consolidate the national debt, and
to establish specie payments. 1t provides
for the conversion of the debt into Ten Forty
Fiteen-Finy, and Tweuty-Sxty bonds, to
the amount of 81 100000, 1000, divided into
three parts of s5OO,OOO,OOO each. The
short-time bonds are to bear five per cent.
interest, the longer tour-and-a-half per cent.
and the longest four per cent. Mr. Sumner
goes for reduction of taxation, as DO all
rational men in the country Whether his
project is a practicable one or not, ii is far
better than that of the Secretary of the
Treasury, which has not the slightest chance
of succeeding. Every argument against Mr..
Summers plan must tell with tenfold force
against the Secretary's plan. Mr.. Sumner
supported his bill with very able speech,
that shows familiarity with the question of
finance and sound, statesmanlike views of the
situation.

The Dairymen's Association is new feature

we cannot see why its projectors and those more
Immediately interested should not feel fully salts
fed with the demonstration at st. Adams last
week Vermont farmers arc not particularly
mcrcrial, or in other words, they have never been
sufficiently phophaiised to start quick. or produce
early. but with good substantial sub-strtum,
they usually feel their way cautiously, leaving to
others the more exciting and hazardous role Of
experiment, But the gathering at St. Adams
eyinced a healthy desire among those most into
rested in dairy products to advance their interests
and better their condition, and the officers of the
association, particularly the President, Hon. +.
d. Mason, Of Richmond, and the Secretary, o. 5.

and good judgment in working up so lively an in
terest and so Interestingly programme of proceed
ings within the short space OF time the organim-

A full and official report Of its three days pro-
ceedings is to be published in pamphlet form by

very learnedly and scientifically upon the subject

information. He alluded in the outset to the
