Tbe Treaty ratified, and the army bill disposed of In the Senate, the political babblers will turn Wilb redoubled avidity to ibe Presidential question. By ibe way, I may say at once that the army bill 19 believed to have no chance of success in the Ijouse, and the President, (lamentable to think of at this critical juncture !) will loss a deal of pat ronage. The hard-hearted Whigs I to think 4 that they should blast so many full-blown epau lettes, simply because the services of the wearers are Dot in the slightest degree necessary. Some ten or twelve thousand men conquered Mexico; yet the Administration now demand five timejs the number to make her stay conquered ! Such folly nevef ruled the destinies of a country before .The presidential nominations, will daily attract more and more attention. Mr. Clay is the gen eral favorite tf the Whigs of the Northern and Middle States, while genera! Taylor is equally popuUr inth Souths It wouU b acaiical folly lo let these individual preferences' override the paramount considerations of measures and prin ciples which are cherished in common. The as sembled delegates of the people in convention will be governed by wiser councils. ' - The Union," oflhis city affects, talkie'?"! sympathy for Mr. Clay, and charges the South ern Whigs with ingratitude, in attempting to set him aside. Its motives are apparent.. '1 be Lo- ', cofocos think General Taylor will do ibem more harm ie the South than .Jilt. .Clayv since he , will ;mvife ib'if''Vote8;ot-;-ffln.of-llreirprty-w-tBat arnOTtetrrVtrttr lHnor Liberty-party assait VI knee, and desire nothing so much loiT'fue noinlii alion of Gen. Taylor by the Whigs. He would toot ioterfere with tbein in;.i,heJ4ojaheTflinSiates; on thrtontrary they would look for a general de fection of Abolition. Whigs. Then if the Loco- ...focx.abattU Proviso, the Liberty men took for large accessions on that side also. Under such circumstances they may become one of the great parties of the coun try. Abolition whigs regard Gen. Taylor as more peculiarly identified with Southern interests, and Imbued with Southern prejudices, than Mr. Clay. They know that the latter is pot in favor of ex tending slavery, while they know nothing of the General's views. Left lo inference, they suppose " he participates in the prevalenfceminet-of; tbe region to which he belongs. The TarirT.ipo, tis j stumbling block with Northern men. If Gen. Taylor runs, unpledged, with the support ofSouth Carolina, Mississippi and Alabama, w hat grounds bave the tariff men that ho will sustain their in terests? It is for these rcaaoru that Northern men cannot heartily support Gen. Taylor. Mr. Clay would receive a tremendous Northern Vote, in consequence of the identification of his name with American industry) but be would ut the same time awaken all the energies of lotofo coism, and; on that account his" availability is loubtleWm oh' would be less distasteful to Abolition Whigi than those of a man from the extreme South; and but for the bitter animosities which his name would arouse in the lotofocQ ranks, Lis c.hancesjwere never belter. Under these circumstances, it is highly probable that a new man will be taken up, Vyhose Dame, while it will command the undivided Confidence of the party, will not needlessly awaken all the obsolete issues which have been presented io the people" in the la3t twenty years. The , cherished attachment of one portion of the Whigs , . io Mr. Clay, and of another portion to Gen. Tay lor, will thus probably yield to a still higher con-jsideralion-that of principle.- The names of Scott AndtMcLein are equally entitled lo command the iearty support of the Whig party. . . .; :, : V tub revolution is vra.nce.

Great events are approaching a new era, full of change and rev olutions. The first explosion - of revolutions are always attended with immense evils, but the re moter consequences' are as Invariably productive of permanent good. It was so with England, with America, and with France herself.. The " people of that country have derived immense advantages from their Revolutions of '83 and 1830. , It is to be hoped that the present revolt may be another stride towards the attainment of regulated liberty. The great curse of France, and of England is debt. Those debts might be paid if their Gov ernments had any honest purpose to pay them. But the maintenance of arbitrary PW(r ' Par amount consideration with royalty. Large stand ing armies and navies are maintained, under the pretence of national defence, but in reality to over awe the people. Let these be cut down propor tionably by all the leading Powers, aad no dan ger from abroad could be apprehended. One third the present military establishments of tboie countries would suffice to preserve domestic tran quility, particularly if justice were done the peo ple.' The residue of the immense sums squand ered in that way might then be appropriated to the extinguishment of their national debts. Qf the two hundred and fifty millions of dollars ex pended by the British Government annually, one hundred arid fifty, or threi-filths go to pay the in terest of the debt i Of the nine-tenths are absorbed by the army and, navy. -;'h ' IMMIGRATION.- '; l have before me an interesting tract on ."Im migration into the.

Of the immigration into the Firee States 75,000 belong to Boston, 880,000 to New York, and 71r 000 to Philadelphia; only a few thousand enter-; ed at the smaller ports.

I should sny that the author of this compilation is pretty strongly tinctured with the spice of "Na tive Americanism;"- but while he appears to to apprehend danger to .our institutions from . such an influx of foreigners, his views aie riot charac terized by the illiberal lone which too many of the Natives " have displayed. For my own part, 1 welcome the foreigners. They,, in a few years blend with our own population, and their children have nothing left of the alien about them. They have no other country to love but ours, and their ideas are purely American. Except where foreigners have clustered together, as in Pennsylvania, it is difficult, to distinguish their children from those whose fathers were " to ihe manor born." Doubtless the naturalization laws have often been disregarded by foreigners at the instigation of American demagogues i but so long as either party cherishes any respect for tho Con stitution, 1 do not see how any great abuse in that particular can exist. Mr. Chickering sets it down as an inference that the immigration to the Northern ports per manently settles in that quarter, while that lo the Southern ports locates in the Slave States. This is doubtless an error. . The immigrants to Balti more .jVould find more ready employment in Penn sylvania and Ohio, where none but ff uo. labor is used, than in Maryland or Virginia. Many of ihein obtain employment in Baltimore and Wash; ington, but it is only an occasional straggler who. finds his way into ihe country. Some thousands find occupation in ihe cotton arid iron factories In the western part of .laVylandj 6nd in working on thii camSOailrtlJt cesnniily go to the Free States, The tIaolcrs of Maryland,' fitre-those fartnef south, arc averse to employing free men to work by the side of their slaves. For the same reason only small por tion of the immigrants to New Orleans settle in that quarter. . They almost invariably ascend the Mississippi to the Free States, or to Missouri, wfiere the number of slaves is too small to meet the demand for labor. l;.fy.'f'v:- 'CJ.'-"'- , The slightest inspection of the table will show an immense increase in the number of immigrants within a few years. This is owing to the accum ulation of capital in the Free States. " The immi grants are for the most part poor, and dependent upon their daily labor for subsistence.' Tbey are unable to buy land, or even to cultivate it as renters, since" it requires a considerable outlay for farming utensils and Cattle, to begin with. ' They must first work as day laborers, until they have accumulated a capital sufficient to set up for themselves.".'';; 'f-.'v. ;;;;' ' 'r-;'"-y- '""'.f Mr. Chickering thinks that the amounts set down in these tables are at least fifty per cent, less than the actual numbers who come into the country. He ascertains from the returns of the Health Office of New York that ibe Custom House registration fajls eleven per cent, short of the real number s and then there are to be added ihe immense cumbers who come over from Can ada, of whom no account is kept.1 He estimates that two-thirds of the immigrants to Canada ulti mately find their way into the United States.. The author estimates the 3 mimbers of immi grants during the last year at 300,030 1 and thinks that the number in the decennial period begin ning with 1830 will be 3,000,000 1 This calcu lation is moderate, if we may consider the im mense augmentation ' inJLhe ratio of increase which ibe above table exhfbTisT" TheBriiish Provinces are increasing with, great rapid ily When in 1703 Canada-was e ded to Great Britain, the population was only 7armJo-i800beIpopuftiion was S70.718, Thiejfnjjraces bo were divjded in 1791.

These people are for the most part made of the same material as the men of Lexington and I Bunker Hill, and it will not require the prophet's ken to foresee the day when they will throw off the yoke of subjection. Ah effort of the kind will meet with the sajne sympathy from our northern border people which the south has shown for Texas. You remember the trouble which the " sympathisers " gave Mr. Vac Buren in 1838. With the example of Texas annexa- ; tion, the military fever engendered by the present war, and the augmenting number and power of our country, nothing is more probable than a rup ture in, thai quarterat no distant day A Nortu Carolinian. The Revolution In Franco. ' EXPLANATORY SKKTCI1ES. 77ie Reform Banquets. M A movement had been made in France in favor of extending the right of suffrage to a great body of electors. The government opposed this measure. For the pur pose Of rousing the people lo a sense of their rights, and to expedite this electoral movement, banquets were gotten up. Against ihese the min istry set themselves directly iu opposition, fearing some encounter from the people of Paris. This very resistance produced the catastrophe whicrT the minister wished to prevent." The French Courriet of New York remarks lhal " ibe point in dispute," (in the Chamber of Deputies,) " was denied by the Minister, and af firmed by M. Lodrn-Rolin and his party. The lat ter had quoted from the constitution of 1701 the guarantee, " as a natural and imprescriptible right, of the right of speech, of the press, and of 'assembling without arms," and bad urged this clause us conclusive upori the sutject. I he min ister, on the other hand, hadtcited ibe silence of the constitutions of 1814 and 1830 upon the sub ject, as a virtual denial of the right. f To this, M. Led ru-Uolin replied that the right was impres criptible not lo be thus lost ; and he referred lo the fact that, after the adoption of the charter of 1830, Guizol himself had declared lhal the exer cise of ibis right was not only ; salutary, but was highly proper and desirable. Ouizot himself had belonged to a society which "Tield such ban quets. r. - The Courier then' gives the close of ihe debate upon the subject, in which the Minister manifes ted a stern determination to support ihe position taken by iho Government, and the -Opposition members an equal determination to support the privileges of (he people. The debate was of tho most intensely exciting character. M. Odillon Jiarrol, of tb'e opposition exclaimed ' ., "While, instead bf appealing id freedom of de-j te. vou call to the aid of; vour onnositiori. the bate crown and the majority, ("boisterous interruptions fro,m the left, yes, , yes Q you are surprised that wo should be excited ! .

Before separating, the deputies gathered for. Jong time in knots in the lobbies of ibe Chamber."-- .... . ... .! j The popular commotion continued(with increas ed energy. Then it was that the King tried the experiment of resigning his crown to his grandson, the Count de Paris, under the regency of bis se cond son, the Due de Nemours. This was rejec ted by the Chamber. ; Then a proposition was made to appoint the mother, the Dutchess d'Or leans, the regent. Then came the idea of a revo lution, and a republic Meantime the spirit of the people was kindled masses assembled in the streets the toyal palaces were broken in upon the throne, removed from the Hall of the Taille- ties, was borne in public upon the shoulders of the agitators, amid the revolutionary strains of the Marseilles Hymn blood began to flow in the 4taBat.'iaeigaa'Af.Jliattoa soon appeared between the royal troops, the national guard, and the people the King retired to Eu a provision al ministry was ordered, which, according to the last accounts, began to assume more and more of the revolutionary, form and the throne seemed tolferihg to its fall. The National. Intelligencer publishes a recent private letter from Paris, of which the following is an extrict : "To all appearance, we are on the eve of a bloody contest, if not a revolution. What will bo the consequehee r- One or the other party must back out, or no one can tell what will .be the result.

French soldiers are citizens loo, and however ready to sweep away a few idle rioters, they were not prepared to treat as foes, and to de cimate with grape shot, the united nnd thronging population of Ihe metropolis. The example is a pregnant one, and the lesson such as every monarch and every minister must ponder over. Neither must provoke, for neither can overcome, the hostility of a million voices, not. to speak of a million arms." It was reported thiough some of the English papers that Louis Pbillippe had arrived in Eng land; but the report is positively contradicted. The following is no doubt the very latest intelli gence received at Liverpool previous to the sailing of ihe Cambria : " The very latest telegraphic despatch, dated February 20. fifteen minutes after 7 o clock, A.
