4 CONGRESS OF NATIONS.

The terrible conflict Of brute force that
has ragged so savagely in the heart
Of civilized Europe during the past
few months, and with such fearful
consequences, very naturally arouses
the better feelings Of the philanthropic
Of all nations-the men who are de-
voted to learning, the progress Of peace
ful pursuits, and the incubation of good
will among men.
One Of this class in our own coun-
try who has risen from humble
birth to eminence in the world of
letters, has recently addressed a letter
to the New York World, headed
by the editor Of that paper: The con-
quering France Of the future, and the
way to her victories-An appeal from
the learned Blacksmith
When such men as Elihu Burritt, the
learned blacksmith, speak out, they are
prompted by a noble desire to be OF SER
vice to mankind They believe that "a
city set upon such hill as Paris, so far
as the heart of its best vitality is con-
cerned, can not be hid, can not be bonn
barded or captured. The great
lamp Of its science and civilization
that has lighted benighted nations
and guided them through the
dark OF barbarisln to the morning of
enlightened life, that lamp is hung too
high to be reached by krupp's mortars. "
The thought is most beautiful yet that
same science and civilization whose larnr
has lighted benighted nations and guided
them through the dark Of barbarism tc
tie morning Of enlightened life, has also
been used to make the art OF war more
complete, to render the instruments O
death more destructive and terrible
There seems to be no moral power a
present that is able to suppress
the lust for war THAI sometimes seize
upon nations the most civilized and re
fined; and until this does exist among tn
peoples of all nations in a degree sutf
cient to check the bad passions Of ruler
, and men who aspire to WELD the rod
empire, "the balancing of other power
i than those Of brute forces that have S
: long shaken the nations with violence c
: alarm, will not suffice to stay the foo
of human blood.
Mr.. Burri.: feels for France in this, he

A POLITICAL EChE.

Mr.. r. NJ. Dalzell, Of Xix Mills, IN
Muskingum county, Ohio, seems to con-
slider himself patent president maker
His letters are being taken ont CT every
prominent postofice in the country, adj
dressed to every prominent nan within
twenty miles Of the Office, insisting that
Charles Sumner shall be made the next
President. 1t is to be hoped that Mir.
Dalzell will be pirated in his new relation
and that some other and less voluble
president maker may be heard from On
the subject. Senator Sumner can not pe
objected to, but his spontaneous friend
at Rix Mills is not justified IN remaining
in a permanent condition CT scrbbilng
combustion on the s:1hject. Let us at
least have thee TO take little breath be-
tween letters

4 BRILLIANT HAUL.

A. Oakley Hall is the Mayor Of New
York He is TIE bosom friend of Tam
many. His arch-imperial mind il row,
perhaps, considering who shall be Presi-
dent of the United States in 1873, for
Oakley is Democrat, and no Democrat
ever forgets his duty to himself, or to the
presidential nomination. 1t is matter
of wonder, no doubt, to the unsophisti-
Gated mind Of the country how deep
Oakey's mind is, and what limit circum-
scribes the outside of his knowledge And
vet he is a vain, fatulent moutEer OF
foolishness, regular rough III the ways
of knowledge, and too stupid to perceive
his own untitness.
A Henry Clay club was formed in New
York some time since, and Mayor Hall
was invited to attend one Of its segnces,
for what else can Clay club be but a re-
vivifcation of the "spirits Of Just men
made perfect" Hall could not 60, but
he wrote @ letter, and before be hears the
last of this epistolary production, lie
will wish that he had been a spirit him
self before he wrote it. He declined to
attend the dinner but sent a sentiment.
The letter is short, but it is too long to
cumber these columns. Ill We can do
for It is 70 stake out our especial taVoTltes
among its elocutionary tamults.
The future trcads so rapidly and SO heav-
ily ruon even the present thai TIE past has
small chance for recognition. Hence efforts
| ike YOURS to keep alive the rtlnciihTance
and exemplary lessons OF patriot and
statesman who always witlin his own party
! land as Senator Carpenter ROW seems to doj,
frankly and boldly denounced all express or
implied uslirpations upon constitutional
rights and obligations, and preferred to be
right to becoming President through wrong,
or by pursuing the phantoms OF Office IN
ways that are dark. or by tricks that are
vain, according to (what yOu must pardon
me Tor ;,verring) much of the Congressional
and Executive code that is TO be read to-day
by Washington daylight or gaslight.
If the future is treading on the heels of
the past in New York, the phenomena
only goes to show that this life is but a
circle, else how can that which is before
be also behind US? And if the future is
/! treading upon the heels Of the present,

AFFAIRS IN FRANCE.

According to the latest news, the proba-
bility of peace for France upo&the Lu-
initiating terms proposed by Prussia rs so
strong as to amount almost to certainty.
The new provisional government has been
recognized by all the European States,
and its policy will undoubtedly be to OBJ
tain peace on any terms before remodeling
the government. 1t is true that Alsace
and Lorraine are rs essentially FrenAh as
Provence, and will relish being handed
over to Germany about as well as the New
England States would being ceGed to
Great Britain, in case Of an unsuccessful
war on the part of the United States with
that power. But what Of that? Being
French, they must suffer with the rest OF
France, must bear their share in the heavy
penalty which folly and misrule have
brought upon her.
The dispatches also confirm the opinion
so recently expressed in these columns
that another attempt at constitutional
monarchy would probably he the present
choice Of the French people-proot that
they are learning that first lesson OF Wis
dom, know thyself, and do know them
selves to be as yet unfit for the duties and
responsibilities Of republicanism. - na-
ton has just such government IS 1t de
serves TO have" and if the French can not
maintain q republic, the next best thing
they can do is TO prepare themselves for
such q blessing under the tutelage Of a
constitutional monarchy. Upon one thing,
however, they may congratulate them
selves, even in their present deep humll-
iation-that they have been spared the
still deeper degradation Of seeing 1.-The
great Incapable, whose selfish ambition
has reduced them to their present strait,
hoisted into the royal seat OF France upon
the points of Prussian bayonets. Better
this surely than to go back to the charter
of 1880, raveling out the bad work they
have been making ever since, and begin
ming anew.

VANITY OF NANTES. ETC.

The New York World, il criticisinG the
powers and capacities of the English and
American commissioners, reluctantly con
cludes that the weight Of diplomatic
ability is with the Englishmen, but it
bravely comforts US, at the same tine,
with the assurance that whatever special
knowledge the American commissioners
may need shall be literally supplied if
the ,J>rlG Office can find it, Is this rot

establishment, and should not the coun-
try appreciate the act since ): is offered

severest hour of trial and humiliation.
He would be most glad to tender her
people some service and this feeling has
no doubt prompted him to publish ms
views to the world, at a time when, II
this be O turning point, decisive Crisis
in the affairs of France, it is one which
Mr.. Burritt thinks may be Of almost equal
moment to all the other nations Of Chris
tendon. He deems the position OF Eng
land as very important, and he does not
hesitate to say there was time, III
not in this war, when she ought
to have "stood by her ally -
and that time was when Louis
Napoleon invited the powers Of Europe
to congress OF nations, to arrange tor
proportionate and simultaneous disarma-
ment, in order to lift from the peo-
Piles the increasing and crushing
weight of that preposterous armed
peace system which has SO long end"n-
gered their safety and consumed their
revenues The armed peace system
spoken of by Mr.. Burritt is as much in
tended to keep down insurgents at home
as it is to guard against the hostile demon
STATIONS Of other nations; and
this will always be the case
as long rs governments are forced upon
the people When the States Of Europe
orr. Governed nS are the States OF the
American Union-by the consent OF the
governed-then Europe may hope to get
rid of the crushing weight Of expense
that now falls upon the great mass of
working people who are the producers OF
its wealth. Mr.. Burritt knows this, but
seems to lose sight Of the fact. He says
| that congress Of nations is al old Amer
| lean idea. Ifitis, il is one that has not yet
| received the sanction of the American peo-
pie whom Washington long since warned
against entangling alliances with foreign
powers. The people of this country have
the deepest sympathy for the down
trodden people of the Old World, and are
ever ready to extend to them an earnest
welcome to our shores, but as general
thing they have but little sympathy tol
the governments Of Europe, and would
most likely vote against any administra-
ton that would favor the call that would
include the United States in q congress o.
