in some other form of government, they still possessed this right. If they had a right to change their form of State government, they also had a right to change their form of Federal government.--He did not regard it as a revolutionary right. He maintained that the proposition was sound and impregnable, established during the American Revolution, leaving the people free to change their forms of government. It was originally an American principle, but was now recognized both in England and France. He then called attention to the language of the Declaration of Independence and the Virginia Bill of Rights, where the principle was distinctly affirmed. The report was further intended to deny to the Government at Washington any right, in any way, forcible or otherwise, to decide the question of the secession of the States. It affirms that it is not granted by the Constitution. It was somewhat remarkable that Mr. Lincoln, while he admits that he has no power to deal with the questi

ne. Mires, only twelve years ago, was desperately poor, and utterly unknown; Mires, within the last year, has been a name constantly in men's mouths; he rivalled the Rothschilds in wealth and in the magnitude of his financial operations; he was one of the powers of the French Government; he bought out the great Parisian journal Constitutional, and wished to control public opinion as he had done stocks; he married his daughter to a Prince de Polignac, a scion of one of the proudest houses in France; he negotiated or attempted to negotiate in his own name the great Turkish loan, and thus by his endeavors to bear on his shoulders the weight of a sinking Empire, brought upon himself the notice of the world. To-day, Mires lies in a Paris jail, and none so poor as to do him reverence; his fortune is gone, his power is annihilated, his rival Rothschild has triumphed, his good name is sullied; and his princely son-in-law has offered to relinquish to the creditors the dowry given by Mires whe

and fortune. It is a career which carries a great moral with it; a moral so plainly written, that it would be superfluous to point it out. Some other day, perhaps, we may treat of Sheridan more closely than time and space now permit. To-day we shall cull a few illustrative traits and anecdotes from the agreeable and general accurate volume which we noticed on Saturday: First, of Miss Linley, whom Sheridan ran away with, when he had reached the mature age of twenty-two, taking her to France, where they are married by a degraded clergyman; we learn that "Miss Linley was one of a family who have been called a nest of nightingales. Young ladies who practice elaborate pieces and sing simple ballads in the voice of a white mouse, know the name of Linley well. For ages the Linleys have been the bard of England — composers, musicians, singers, always popular, always English, Sheridan's love was one of the most renowned of the family, but the 'Maid of Bath,' as she was called, was as

Important Indications from France — Louis Napoleons organ Recommending the acknowledgment of Southern Independence. The first article of Le Pays, edited by the author of those famous pamphlets to which all Europe looks for a disclosure of the purposes of the Imperial master of France and Europe, has been followed, in its issue of February 21st by a second of greater significance, emphasis and directness, which clearly shows that gallant France, our ancient ally at Yorktown, is heart and soul with the South, and that, in all probability, she will lead the way in the acknowledgment of Sout production consumption. "All their ports will be open to the commerce of the world, and if France knows how to profit by that favorable circumstance which facilitates the putting in practice of le.'" Le Pays then proceeds to show why Europe cannot do without Southern cotton, and that France ought to seize this opportunity of extending its commercial relations with the new Confederacy.

ion of the Roman Empire, and finally plant their standards upon the walls of Constantinople. Luther was a mystic — he was, at least, a man whose thoughts were turned more than the thoughts of other men to the invisible world. He shook the power of the Roman Church to its very foundation. Ignatius Soyola was a mystic. He turned back the tide which Luther had cast loose, and prevented it from overwhelming the Church of Rome. Joan of Arc was a mystic. She saved the monarchy of France, when it was on the point of extinction. But for her full faith in her own divine mission, she could never have accomplished the task which she laid down for herself. Cromwell was a mystic of the highest order. But for his prayers, his groaning, his weepings, his supposed communion with the beings of the invisible world, he would never have obtained an opportunity of showing his great military talents. It was his character of saint that enabled him to establish his reputation as a so
