It is curious to read the speculations of some of the leading London journals, in re-lation lo Reptihlicanism, its merits and de-fects. It is only within a few years, that the fact of success, so fur as this country was concerned, has hrcn conceded. For a long time after the Declaration of our Independ-ence, the Monarchists of the Old World looked on with incredulity, and gaveexpres-sinn to their feelings, in sneers of ridicule and contempt. They believed that the experi-ment would prove an utter abortion, that the system would cxplode.and that anarchy and misery would be ilia consequences. And this they also hoped, for with such results, republicanism would becomeodiotisihrotigh-oni the civilized world, while monarchy and despotism would become the ruling prinei- The cause of quarrel between Lrdru Rollin i pies in forms of government.

Nay, seve-ral of them labored under such annrehen people tho'ild hold in their own band;, the def-innion ofihe word " people," the modes in which they can best exercise that power, and the mutu-al relations of different communities and states/' Uul again, the Times still further endor-ses our system : — "There is at this moment.a very evident ten-dency all over Europe, in two directions, appar-ently epposile, lo local self-government and to national unity. In 1815 certain lines were drawn upon a map, according to which states were car-ved, as it were, out of the Continent, without re-ference lo language, habits, race, feelings, sntipa-thies, or any of those influences which constitute real nationality. The consequence waa thil the desire for nauonal inde|iendence. in the provinces thus subjected to foreign dominion, went hand in hand with the wish for popular inslitutions ; they became convinced that they could not have the one without the oiher, ihey have long strug-gled for both, and at length they appear on the eve nf winning them. But th*-se provinces have in almost every case, national unilirs of their own to which, when rid of the crude and 1'iocrusiean arrangement of 1815, they are beginning natural-ly lo look, as supports to their new born indepen-dence, and rallying poinla for their awakened pa-triotism. Thus Italy is gathering under one name and banner her estranged and provincialized chil-dren; the scattered and disunited slates of Ger-many are craving earnestly for union ; Poland is uniting ; Switzerland is uniting ; it will not, per-haps, be long before we see a 1'ansclavnnic na-tion conMiiution in ilieeastof Europe. Yet none of the provinces would like the idea of ceasing lo manage locally theirown affairs, in order to secure ihe safety of a greater father land. The question then, for them to consider, is, whether, by an a-doption of the principle of federalism, their wants Ledr.ltollin had at length made the formal .,- ""'■««■•«»»»"'■»•«« P°w«™ "«» wn.cn he ,i0ns,that American journals were studious-tempt to destroy the provisional government in MBS.

A young Englishwoman was sent lu Fronce to be educated in a Huguenot school in Psris.— A few evenings before the fatal massacre of St. Bartholomew1. Day, she and some of her young coinpa&ions were taking a walk in some part of the town where there were aemmels plac-ed, perhaps, ,op the walls t and you know that when a soldier is en guard he must mi leave hi. postumil he is relieved, that is. till another soldier comes lo take his place. One of the soldiers, as the young ladies passed bun, besought ihem to have the charily to bring him a little water, add-ing that he wa. very ill. and that it would be as much aa his life waa worth lo go and fetch it him-self.

To bo sarcastic is thought by some people * proof of ebiluj. Such individuals are like • pack of Chinese crackers thrown into a crowd, continu-ally Uplodmg |n every direction, but wiih-greau er noise than injury. There ia more ill breeding than wu in a sarcasm ; and more ill-nature than either. True wit doea net consist in abuse, but in profound wisdom ler.ely expressed. Nothing, therefore, can be further from wit than sarcasm, and where they go together, one is pressed into the service, and is not n legitimate ally. Nevertheless, we know many, mosily young penons, who set up for wits on ihe score of sar-casm. They are usually very conceited, or very lodlnh. or very unamiable individual.! and by no mean, the terror to other, ihey imagine. 1'er.on. of .erne are no more affected by Iheir sarcasms lhan mastiffs are by the yelp of a lap-dog.

It is a mean sou of revenge that seek, to gall anflher'a feelings by sarcasm. For where il chances to be successful, it is like the copper shoi of the Mexi-cam, which gangrene, ihe wound. ..; We frequenily hear young persons at a pany make aarcastic remarks on tho.e who enter—- here is here, perhaps, not ao much ill will, M ill-breeding, net s J much spleen ai others as a de-sire to display ourselv,-..

THE LONDON PRESS.
It is curious to read the speculations of
some of the leading London journals, in re-lation
lo Reptihlicanism, its merits and de-fects.
It is only within a few years, that the
fact of success, so fur as this country was
concerned, has hrcn conceded. For a long
time after the Declaration of our Independ-ence,
the Monarchists of the Old World
looked on with incredulity, and gaveexpres-sinn
to their feelings, in sneers of ridicule and
contempt. They believed that the experi-ment
would prove an utter abortion, that the
system would cxplode.and that anarchy and
misery would be ilia consequences. And
this they also hoped, for with such results,
republicanism would becomeodiotisihrotigh-oni
the civilized world, while monarchy and
despotism would become the ruling prinei-

ofihe word " people" the modes in which
they can best exercise that power, and the mutu-al
relations of different communities and states/'
Uul again, the Times still further endor-ses
our system : —
"There is at this moment.a very evident ten-dency
all over Europe, in two directions, appar-ently
epposile, lo local self-government and to
national unity. In 1815 certain lines were drawn
upon a map, according to which states were car-ved,
as it were, out of the Continent, without re-ference
lo language, habits, race, feelings, sntipa-thies,
or any of those influences which constitute
real nationality. The consequence waa thil the
desire for nauonal inde|iendence. in the provinces
thus subjected to foreign dominion, went hand
in hand with the wish for popular inslitutions ;
they became convinced that they could not have
the one without the oiher, ihey have long strug-gled
for both, and at length they appear on the
eve nf winning them. But th*-se provinces have
in almost every case, national unilirs of their own
to which, when rid of the crude and 1'iocrusiean
arrangement of 1815, they are beginning natural-ly
lo look, as supports to their new born indepen-dence,
and rallying poinla for their awakened pa-triotism.
Thus Italy is gathering under one name
and banner her estranged and provincialized chil-dren;
the scattered and disunited slates of Ger-many
are craving earnestly for union ; Poland is
uniting ; Switzerland is uniting ; it will not, per-haps,
be long before we see a 1'ansclavnnic na-tion
conMiiution in ilieeastof Europe. Yet none
of the provinces would like the idea of ceasing lo
manage locally theirown affairs, in order to secure
ihe safety of a greater father land. The question
then, for them to consider, is, whether, by an a-doption
of the principle of federalism, their wants

to be educated in a Huguenot school in Psris.—
A few evenings before the fatal massacre of St.

part of the town where there were aemmels plac-ed,

when a soldier is en guard he must mi leave hi.

comes lo take his place. One of the soldiers, as

THE WIT OF SARCASM.
To bo sarcastic is thought by some people *
proof of ebiluj. Such individuals are like • pack
of Chinese crackers thrown into a crowd, continu-ally
Uplodmg |n every direction, but wiih-greau
er noise than injury. There ia more ill breeding
than wu in a sarcasm ; and more ill-nature than
either. True wit doea net consist in abuse, but in
profound wisdom ler.ely expressed. Nothing,
therefore, can be further from wit than sarcasm,
and where they go together, one is pressed into
the service, and is not n legitimate ally.
Nevertheless, we know many, mosily young
penons, who set up for wits on ihe score of sar-casm.
They are usually very conceited, or very
lodlnh. or very unamiable individual.! and by no
mean, the terror to other, ihey imagine. 1'er.on.
of .erne are no more affected by Iheir sarcasms

expense-, and always found Ihev cured ifcem-

up or if ihey did not, thai ttiey reinsined ohildren
in their tempers to the end > f their career. . It is
a mean sou of revenge that seek, to gall anflher'a
feelings by sarcasm. For where il chances to be
successful, it is like the copper shoi of the Mexi-cam,
which gangrene, ihe wound. ..;
We frequenily hear young persons at a pany
