Absolutist Scheme to Divide Europe
into three great empirei. — The London
Timet alarmed and callt on Ihe United
Stale!.— -The opinions of such a man as
M. Louis Blanc, at this moment, upon
the crisis in France, important, as lie ex
presses the sentiments of the Socialists and
republicans of Fiance. In < long letter
from the pen of Louis Blanc, l.e declares
that 1 nothing finished-cr-a mock Caesar, j
supported by lijs drunken praetorian I
guards, cannot impose himself on France.’ I
Be then says tjiere is nothing surprising
in the fact that an army ol 100,000 men I
should have held Paris ip check, as Par
is was disarmed, without ammunition,
and without pikes ; and yet, if the fau
bourgs had thrown themselves en masse
info the insurrection, either the army
would have been destroyed, or Louis Na
pnlen would have reaped the execrable
distinction of remaining erect amid corp
ses and mins; but the wuikmen did not.
engage in the struggle, and this infori'ja*
tion Louis Blanc has received from his
QWtt party in Paris.
♦ The reason why they did hot romp
forth is that they were sickened and dis
gusted with the National Assembly, and
they had no sympathy for M. Thiers who
had called them the ‘vile multitude nor
with Cavaignac, who in June fired upon
them ; nor with Cliangarnier, who could
Insult them with the whip, as well as
Strike (hem with the sword. Placed be
tween the matitainaece of the robber law
nnd the pretended restitution of
tot til sal suffrage; between the danger of
monatvl.ini restoration and that of a
it repolic—the people retired, leav
ing tlhe field to the two tyrannies, of
which one would serve to destroy the oth
er.’ Louis Blanc refers to some of the
■measures of the <4ssenihly, w hipb pro
voked the crisis, and then declares that
this bourgeosie and the people must be
nniied to uphold one cause, and all is
then saved. Be shows that the grand
scheme of ilw,monarchies of Europe is to
divide Europe into three great empires,
and Louis Blanc and his party are by
no means alone in their opiniou. He
says:
* The sacrilegious plan, of w hich the
sack of Paris is the commencement, is to
form a Russian empire, extending to
Constaniiuople-~-an Austrian and a
French empire, w ith the addition of Bel
gium. From this holy alliance a war
would arise against the democratic par
ty, to extinguish what the absolutist pow
ers call ‘ the revolutionary flame,’ or
whatever lights the human spirit on the
way of progress. For the accomplish
ment of all ihis, Louis Napoleoo has de
livered France into the hands of French
Cossacks. Louis Blanc promises, in
concluding his letter, to bring forward
proofs to the reality of this scheme, and
silso to show ‘ the abominate complisiiy
which hinds to the fortune of the Empe
ror Nicholas the ambition ol Louis Bona
parte.’
The London Times, of the 12th, ex*
presses a similar opinion, and looks to
the United Slates for assistance. It
speaks of * the great conflict between
military absolutism and constitutional
government, widen every day assumes a
more serious aspect, which every day
draws nearer to this island, and which
will one day divide the whale world.’—
The Times then says that there are no
two States in the whole world, and never
have been, so bound to one another, so
mutually beneficial, and so able to work
together, as the British empire and Uni
ted States. l At preseut, it seems impos
sible but that the whole of the continent
of Europe should fall into the hands of
military despots ; it seems equally impos
sible that we, w ith our American brethren,
should lose our institutions or our enthu
siasm for liberty. Here, then, are the
two parlies in the great cause that threat
ens to divide and convulse the whole
world.’ The Times asks what is to be
done? —7n case anything should happen
to England, in the way of unmerited in
dignity and oppression, she has only to
call on the United States, The Times is
evidently alarmed !
Interference in European affairs. —A
London correspondent of the New York
Commercial, alluding to Kossuth doc
trine of non-intervention and to the
probable policy of the liberal nations,
says No interference to check the
outrages of the Absolutists ui|| be at
tempted unless it ran be made as peace’
fully and effectually as when a body of
police arrests a felon. If ever France,
Belgium, Holland, Sardinia. England
and the United States should be induced
combine, the word ‘stop* to such iniqui
ties as the Russian descent upon Hun
gary would, it is lobe presumed, prove
Sufficient. Even an interference, how
lever, to that extent would have to be
deplored, since it would be far less effect
ual than the utter ‘crumbling away of
power, which takes plare when a govern
ment, which is execra'ed by the wot Id’s
opinion, is left its own devices. At the
present moment, to those who trust in the
judgement of Heaven, the doom of Aus
tria appears so certain that it could be
•versed by uothing except the vitality
that would be aroused in her by an at
tempt on the part of her external ene
mies to precipitate it.”
From the Boston Cultivator.
- Female Education.
It is the opinion of inanv, that because
females are not called upon to perform
the duties of office, to tread our Senate
halls, to make law s foi* our country , and
to rule over us as a nation, that it is of
little importance whether they have learn’
ing or not As long as they can per
form the duties of the kitchen, wash and
iron, make a good short-cake, get three
meals a day, knit and darn, stockings,
rock the cradle, and patch the boy’s old
clothes, it is a',! that is necessary.
This 1 think is a sad mistake. Js it
nm as infi|)o.-tanl that she whom God has
given to man for a help-meet for tile, to
comfort and console him in all the trials
ami afiltctjon through which he may be
culled to pass, to act with him upon the
stage of life, to struggle with him thro’
lime, and to asreud with him to the king
dom of hlesseduess and bliss—she whom
God has endowed with a mind a; capa
ble of improvement ns that of man—l say,
is it not as important that she should
have access to those fountains of lenrninsr,
from whence she may derive that knowl
edge which will improve the mind,
strengthen the understanding, and ena
ble her more easily to discharge the du
ties devolving upon her, and fit her for
enjoyment and usefullness in life, and lor
happiness beyond the grave. Because
it is not alloted to woman to discharge
the duties ol office, to plead at the hnr,
or to proclaim from the pnljiit the truths
of salvation, anti to unfold to a dying
world the unsearchable riches Christ, is
no reason why she should not be as well
educated as mao, 1 have often heard the
remark, and 7 believe it too, that “ they
who rock the cradle, rule the world.”
It is to the mother of the immortal Wash
ington, that we aie indebted for the lib
erties which we enjoy. It was from her,
that during bis boyhood days he received
those instrur lions which made him a great
and good man, and entitled him to the
name of “ Father of his country.” His
name is dear to every American, and
will ever be found recorded on the pages
of Qur history, Many of our great and
good men may well boast of their educa
ted mothers.
I have often heard ministers of the
Gospel remark that it was owing to the
instructions of a pious mother that they
became such, Seldom do we meet with
a well educated woman who is not a pi
ous woman j nor often do we meet with
a young manor woman who had a pious
and well educated mother, that is not a
respectable cilixen. The influence of a
mother over her children, is greaier than
that of the father. They will more read
ily listen to her instructions, than those
of a father. Why then, is it not necess
ary and important that the mother should
be as well educated as the father, that
she may rightly instruct her sons and
daughters, that they may be respected in
the community, be useful in their day
and generation, ornaments in society,
and a blessing to the world ?

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
TUESDAY MORNING.
A good deal of time was consumed this
morning on a motion in reconsider a Bill
which was lost yesterday, for die relief of
a Mr. Cameron, of Troup county.
The amount involved was small, and per
haps a hundred times its value was lost to
the Stale in the time consumed in its con
sideration. I wonder some of the mem
bers who seem to consider themselves the
special guardians of the treasury, Mo not
devise, or at least attempt to devis'e some
means of remedying this evil. Ido not
allude to this case as being esperially
obnoxious to this objection, for there
have been various others involving small
er amounts that have taken up muck
valuable limp.
The Bill to appropriate money for the
political years 1852’3 beintr the special
order, was taken up, Mr. Floyd in the
chair, and the remainder of the morning
session was consumed in perfecting it.
SENATE.
TUESDAY MORNING.
I regret to see in the Senate a degree
of supineness and indifference in relation
to the great State Road on the pari of
many members, that 1 was utterly unpre
pared for. I fear that those who have
the interests ol that great work most at
heart, will have to sacrifice to a considers
able extent their opinions ol what is the
be>t plan for its government, in order t
secure an appropriation to keep it from
actually going to rain. 1 think there is
one thing pretty certain however ; and
that is, that whoever shall be the means
of making utterly useless four millions
of the people’s money invested in the
State Road, by refusing a sum necessary
to put it in as good condition as the oth
er roads of the State, will have a heavy
account to settle with the people w hose
interest he hns neglected, The storm
would be terrible, if the Senate should re
fuse, as there is some danger of its doing,
to vote the necessary appropriation.
The Senate took up the Bill to give to
the people the election of Judges of the
■Superior Court, and <‘ r -- -- Jtog It
in some unimportant Jm was
passed. jm
