THE position of the Senate Is an honest,
fair and impregnable position. Their
bill for constitutional convention
proposes TO comply strictly with article
TX. If that unexceptionable mode is not
complied with the woods win be fun OF
guerrillas to oppose any convention at
all and the defeat Of 1853 win follow.
If the people are in fayor Of constitu-
tional convention the straightforward
honest and nnobjectionable way to call i

The Unpopular English Sugar Bni.
M. Raoul Frary, the noted French econo-
mist, writes to La France that In the event Of
the passage Of the English sugar bin an ener-
getic effort viii be made in the French chaHn-
Der Of deputies TO pass bill closing the ports
Of France against the entrance Of English
cotton, coal and iron ware The writer ad-
vocates the adoption of his theories, and a
rigid Observance thereof and the avidity
with which the article has been absorbed into
the economic NAV Of his readers indicates
that there is flowing IN France a strong tide
in favor of protection Of products not now
nuriured in that already greatly protected
country. Meanwhile the feeling in favor Of
protection in England increases and the pro
ceedings of the next session Of parliament will
doubtless give substantial evidence Of the de-
ference Of that body TO popular clamor.

no idea of the popularity 1t was to
achieve in the pages of noted maga-
zine.
Thomas Moore, while writing "Lalla
