pREsxDEr,s MESSAGE ON FRANCE

We have been somewhat blamed for
expressing orr disappointment in the
President Message as far as it expresses
satisfaction with the course of Mr.. Wash
burn, our representative at Paris. Here
are our reasons: The President saws,
that because the Republic was proclaimed
IN Paris and the people acquiesced silent
ly,"we cannot be Indifferent to the spread
OF American political ideas in great
and highly civilized country like France -
and therefor the Minister of the United
States was directed to recognize it. Here
tofore the American people have held
the idea, that it requires something more
to make Republic. than mere 'spro-
clamation By a crowd of loafers or the
mere silence of the people to such a p,o
cIamatIon; We have always been taught
that the essence of a Republic was "self
government of the people" that is ''the
election of all legislative and executive
authorizes by the people; besides this,
and above all, Republic requires a GER
tain political education of the people. a
high regard for the forms of the law,
willingness to submit to the majority.
ETC., etc. But LEI us take only the gen.
eral definition, according to which a Re
public consists in the self government of
people, where is then the Republic of
France
Not only have there been no elections
at all, nor has the authority of the pro-
vlsional government any stronger founda-
ton than any Tammany Committee in
New York, but this so called government
has expressly refused to cali q general
election Of the people on that question.
LOUIS BLANK the most radical of the
radicals, opposed publicly the calling
together OF constituting assembly. for
the reason that it might become Access
sible to nouarchical influences. Thus
those having the control of the govern
ment tell their people very plainly that
eiieJ az ho1 litiol liiCtI. dNu therefor 90
not ask their consent; THEY KNOW that
the French people are utterly incapable
of sustaining Republic.
10 call such chaotic confusion as now
exists in France a realization Of Ameri-
car political ideas, is an offence against
these same ideas, on which the political
existence of our country so securely rests.
The pattern for that Republic, which the
President so quickly FASTENED to acknowl-
edge by telegraph, can hardly be found
IN Mexico or in the Tenian fraternity. 1t
is nothing but an empty, hollow sound
OF words without meaning, and must
soon end in anarchy.
On the approval in the President S
Message Of the pusillanimous conduct of
the United States Minister. Mr.. Wash
burn, in Paris. towlrds the German bar
barians (as he called them committed to
his protection. we may speak hereafter.
If, as it Is claimed, Mr.. Washburn
acted strictly according to orders, from
Washington, the dark spot is only chang
ed from him 10 the heretofore unsullied
escutchon of our beloved country, and
we can only express our deepfelt Sorrow
at the gross misconception of me political
and social condition of Francois gov
eminent and its people.

TIE NATIONAL DEBT.


General Schenck gives his view of the
history of the Treasury Department in
financial matters as follows:
Il have the utmost respect for MIR.
Boutwell,. and the utmost confidence in
his administration, but at the same time
/ am ready to admit that, while in the
management of our official affairs. he has
done great and good service in the way
of retrenchment. and of payment and
adjustment of our public debt, and the
maintenance of our pubic credit, can
not agree that it is best &c continue taxes
either in the shape of internal revenue
or of impost duties, which are producing
so much more revenue than is required
for the current expenses of the Govern
ment as to afford surplus with which
he is rapidly paying off the debt.-0ur

THE NAVY.

The report of Secretary Robson is q
brief, concise statement of the condition
of the navy. We have one hundred and
eighty one vessels calculated for 800
guns. Of these, ffty-two are of the iron
clad or monitor class thirty sailing yes
sells and ninety-nine steamers. The actual
expenses of the department. for the past
year have been $20.0Sl 1855, decrease
from those of the year previous, of 81 =
396, ll9. The five months Of the present
year already expired exhibit a greater
propcrtlonate decrease eff expenditures.
The Secretary suggests subsidies to cor
porations which are willing to construct
dock yards and facilities for building
lron-clads of the largest class, giving to
the government the preference to use
them in time of peace, and the absolute
control in time of war. We hope this
suggestion will not be adopted. England
and France have expended large sums
since Ericsson built the Monitor for us,
III creating an iron clad feet. During
the present war the French fleet has not
accomplished anything for the nation,
and English officers report since the loss
of the great iron-clad, the Captain at sea
short time ago, that their feet is worth
less. We hope that this country will
never commence the ridiculous practice
ct maintaining vast arsenals and arma-
ments In time OF peace We can exert
a great influence for good on Europe, if
we maintain our faith in the power of
moral influences to settle national difficult
ties where that is possible, and keep
aloof from the absurdities of perma-
nent national police. Where the mater
ials for a fire are gathered together, some
body is very likely to apply the match.

TIE pensions paid during the year

HE pensions paid during the year
ending June so. 1860, amounted to soS,-
$4,000. Last year they were s6i2. 600
less, or s27, 7S0,o00,-three and a quarter
millions less than the estimates, This
difference between the actual and the
ostlmated amounts has resulted from
minors attaining the age of sixteen, from
speclal surgical examinations, and from
the discovery Of frauds. 1t is believed
at the. pension Office that the amount re-
CURED to meet the demand ef the pen
sion roll will In future decrease. and that
the maximum was reached last year.
The expense on this account viii, how
ever. continue to be heavy for many
years. This is one of the items IN the
COST OF government which have resulted
from the war. and Of which the Demo-
Gratis, IN comparing the present with
Democratic administrations, make no
sccount at all.

HeaIth,s Best Defence

''The weak .eateth herbs," says ST. Paul,
SO that eighteen hundred years ago the val
ne of medical plants was appreciated. In
the Old Testament botanical remedies are
repeatedly recommended but in no passage
of sacred history is man recommended to
swallow calomel, or blue pill, or any other
mineral preparation. The sick were direct
ed to eat herbs to strengthen them, to pu-
rify them, to heal them, to restore them. In
that day the art Of making vegetable extracts
was unknown. The herbal medicines were
mere infusiops,
It was reserved for latter age to unite
the sanitary essence Of tonic, aperient and
ambitious roots, banks, and plants, with an
active stimulant, and thus secure their rapid
diffusion through the debilitated or disord-
cred system. The GROWING triumph of
this effective mode of concentrating and ap-
pIying the virtues Of medical vegetables was
achieved in the production of Hostetter's
Stomach BItters. Never before had per-
feotly pure alcoholic stimulant been COM
bined with the expressed juices of the finest
specifics of the vegetable kingdom. Never yet
though eighteen years has elapsed since its
introduction, has this great restorative been
eoualled. 1t is taken at all seasons, in all
climates, as the most potent safeguard against
epidemics, as a protection against all I'M
healthy exhalations that produce debility or
beget disease as remedy for intermittent
and other malarious fevers as an appetizer /;
as sovereign cure for Dyspepsia; as gen.
eral tonic and invigorant; as gentle painless
aperient; as blood depurent; as nervine !;
as a cure for bilious affections ; as harmless
anodyne and as the BEST DEFENCE OF HEALTH
under unfayorable circumstances, such as
sedentaEy pursuits, undue bodily or mental
e&ertion, hardship, privation and exposure.
