      THEANTI-SLAVERY PRESIDENT . ¦ f- ' % ^ HEllE are ' some persons who do not wish , to see any ¦¦ ¦ ¦; J- republic succeed . From flunkeyisin . or self interest they can only give their sympathies to costly royalties or cumbersome aristocracies , and they have had opportunities of enjoying themselves by witnessing the failure of successive republican efforts in Fr « ince , their apparent abandonment in Italy ,-.-and . their difficulties in the tlnited States . There was doubtless much folly in the belief once prevalent among radicals , that republican forms cpiild be adapted to any state of society ; hut therepublican spirit often exists and prevails in a monarchical guise . In France , Imperialism rests upon universalsuffrage , and succeeds in maintaining its position by gi-atifying the most prominent wants and wishes of the people ; In Italy , Victor Emmanuel has ¦ ¦ converted all-the rational republicans because he has put aside the nonsense of kingcraft , and done his best to be an active and vigorous representative of the I imjsent desires that exist in all Italian breasts . In England * I our monarchy has changed and is changing its . nature , and J our constitution might bo described as a republic with an j hereditary president . The tendency of the -times to reduce j the powers of the oligarchy and extend the suffrage to the working classes , will still further approximate the British system to that of the United States , which exhibits the fprin of government Englishmen naturally live tinder when removed from the traditions peculiar tp their home . With a life peerage and some diminution oi t % c Chinese ceremonials of pux * ^ Court , and its ridiculous expenditure upon heedless officials and pageants , no philosophic politician would doiibt that England was essentially what ; Mijcxoisr and CrPmwjs : li , desired to make it— -a Commonwealth ; and ; it might be shown frona a scientific analysis of 'human progress , that no monarchy can continue to exist in a civilised and improving country unless it is able to become the embodiment of what are in fact , if not in name , repxiblican . ideas . For many years the United States of America have lowered the status of republics , and have damaged the complete suffrage cause . As far as corruption was concerned , American officials seemed to bear the palm—rnotevenRussia or Turkey could go beyond , them ini the evnl . raqe , and if their iniscbnduct produced no violent mischief , it was becaiise power was too much divided to permit the perpeti-ation of gigantic wrong's . The Home Government was not ; prily ignorant arid corrupt , but the wiser and honester portion of the citizens . ' -was- disgusted with politics , and left them to be rnade a cheating trade of -by the lpwest : and vilest of thxi pbmiriiinity ; The foreign reltu tions were alvvrays unsatisfactory , grid . n ? araader ? lij « e Walki 2 r or Lopj ^ z . found the system bpmpletej y congenial with their views .

      results of Mr . Lincoln's election will be a greater union between England and . America , ' because there will be a greater commixnity of thought and action . We shall no longer witness a foreign p . olicy of filibustering , nor find ourselves on the verge of hostilities through the disgraceful support given to men like General Harney , or ruffians of a similar casfe . Tlie final settlement of the slave question may be distant by some years , but the Americans have made a noble advance by setting their Central Government entirely free from its trammels ; and it is probable that the South will begin to consider how the system can be gradually arid safel y changed . No friend of the negro can wish for a violent measure of .. enfranchisement ^ jioi- ' a . successful outbreak of the blacks ; and a gradual change was impossible while the slave party had the chief political influence in the - 3 tate . Slavery is now plainly seen as a doomed and dying institution , and those will most expedite its removal \ yT . can show the most practical'way of dealing with its di ^* ulties , arid obtaining it ? abolitiou witli the ' smalU'st di ^ itirb ^ nce of existing rights .
