All thc prophecies that have boen * made respecting thc length of Napo? leon ILT's ascendancy, have failed of justification by the event. jMany in . genious men, who had noted that ?no government lind lasted long in France since tin? meeting of tho States-Gene . rid, in 17S9, were convinced, says the Boston Trav?kr, that the present Em? peror's power woi?d afford no excep? tion to tho rule, and they ga-fe their speculations and predictions to the world; but, thus far, both as 'specu lators.and prophets, they have failed signally. There were several govern? ments in France between the spring of 1789. and the autumn of 1799, and Bonaparte came into power in less Mian eleven years after the meeting of the States-General. Misrule, as Con? sul and Emperor, and including the Hundred Days, lasted for about six? teen years. The Orleans monarchy fell in its eighteenth year. "What could be more logical than to infer that the Third Napoleon was to" have a brief career? Accordingly, he was sentenced to fall .koon; but the sentence has not .been carfted inti) execution. It will be seventeen years, pome next December, since Napoleon III placed himself at the head of' France, ?and fourteen years since the coup ci'efa/ which made him Emperor. He has already ruled longer than his uncle ruled, or than the old Bourbons managed to hold tho throne of France. Louis Phillippe is yet ahead of him; but if the Emperor should continue to keep up a year longer, he will have distanced the Citizen King. From present appearances, and sup? posing his life to be spared, he will break the spoil " that is supposed to doom French monarchs to short reigns. He is so prudent that he does not encourage men to attempt Iiis overthrow. His uncle Vas Ohe of these gentlemen who could not bear good fortune well, and whose offen? siveness of demeanor sets everybody in arms agaiilst them; and this arro? gance of his had more to do with working his fall than his Spanish po? licy, his continental system and his Bussian war. ' He trampled on every? body, from a Russian Emperor to a Portuguese pensant; and he was hated . as heartily by Jacobins; as by German \ nobles. Napole?n III is a very differ? ent man. He is as avaricious ofjpow eras Napoleon I in his most despotic days, but he is content with tho sub? stance of it, and does not snap at th?, shadow. The moat l-emarkablo thinf. "about his quarrel with Prince Napo leon" is, that it involves something of i departure from his System of modera tion in language, as appears from th? imperial letter. That letter has mon of the First Napoleon's style in it thai anything else that ever has come fron the Third Napol?;oir, and could tin truth be known, probably it would b< t seen that the writer regrets that lp eyer exchanged the cautious style fo: the rasping style of the founder of thi imperial dynasty. Those persons who will have it tha the French Emperor must fall-that unlike Louis XVIII, he is to form n< m exception to the fate of almost ever; man who has reigned ki France io more than ninety years-may fee . sanguine over the^ political defeat which he has sustained of late, on th' occurrence of elections for members o the legislative ha?j. "So long a these debutes took place in Paris they do not count for- much. Paria' position is two-fold; to domineer over Franee, and to oppose, if not abso? lutely to hate, those by whom France is governed. Paris disliked Louis XVI, and overthrew him, and assisted at his ?xecution. Paris hated tho Jacobins, and overthrew them, and shouted around the scaffold on which died Robespierre and St. Just. Paris hated the Directory, and approved of Bonaparte's conduct when he substitu? ted Consuls for Directors. Paris hated the first " Empire, and welcomed tho Allies when*, in 1814, they smashed Napoleon I's throne. P;tris hated tho Bourbons, and on the throe glorious days of July, 1830-which now seem fur off-drove them from their places, which seemed destined to know them no more forever. Paris disliked tho House of Orleans, and gave many helping hands when barricades were erected against the throne of the barricades. .And Paris, recollecting the days of December, hates the second (or third? which is it?) empire; but this the Emperor has not much troubled himself about, seeing that she hated all his predecessors of all colors-white, blue, red, tri-color -and is sure to hate all his successors, whatever their colors may happen to bc-tri-color, red, blue or white.' He may have rather liked the opposition of the capital, aa tending to help him in the provinces, which are jealous of Paris, though unable to take a share off its yoke. So that he saw the elec? tion of opposition members by Paris? ian voters, perhaps with some ap I prooch to that indifference which is i the ordinary expression of his rather dull face. But it is quite another [ matter when the provinces begin to imitate the capital, and there are in? dications of an alliance between town and country against "the elected of the French people." If discontent has really penetrated into the "rural ; districts" of Fran?e, tho matter is in i deed serious, for not a small portion of the population of those districts is composed of men who at one time were fanatical imperialists, and whose support the Government counted on as 'something strictly in the regular course of things. The last of the Government's de? feats occurred in tho district repre? sented by the Duke de Morny at tin time be fell into that illness of which he died. His death made a vacancy and tliat vacancy has been rilled bj the eimile of the opposition candi date, the vote standing, for the oppo? sition, 14,140-for the Government 12,1<S8; majority against tho Govern ment candidate, 1,952. This is a larg? "majority to be given in the. Pay dc Dome, thc name of the district, con sideling that M. do Alorny, tho Em peror's uterine brother, was- supreme there, and that the district was ono o the most loyal in France. M. Moy nadier' was officially announced a "the candidate of the Emperor' Government," and yet be was beaten though everything .-.coined to favo bim. The opposition themselvo wore surprised, not appearing to hav anticipated sucoess, and their actio: Was rather an improvised affair tba ' the result of a regular plan. Follow ing otilar defeats, this .decision ad versely to the Government, occurin? in one of its old strongholds, is cu. ciliated fo make the rulers of Franc reflect on the state of affairs. Wh? if it should find extensive imitntioi and the opposition should becoin strong in the legislative body? In England, there Avouldbea chanp of ministry, for there an oppositio party is a portion of the policy und* which tho country lives; but i ^Franco they do not luidersti'lnd tl 'functions ?of such a party, and tl fall of a ministry through a parli mcntary change, and yet the Execi tive Government remaining intact, all but incomprehensible to tl French, though something ought t have been learnt on the matter durii the generation in which France had Parliamentary Government, in nan at least-that is, from 1814 to 184 But whatever approach was made constitutionalism at that time France, the impression has wo: away, and opposition successes a there regarded as victories won at t expense of the Imperial Governme itself, not^ na the triumphs of o party over another, and both loyal to the reigning house. The Eniperort who is a man of sense, aud who jp acquainted with all politics, may be able to understand the business, and may sec it in what ought to be its true light; but his sup? porters do not understand it, and may? be tempted to fall from him, under thc belief that he is soon to fall, that being thc usual course; of political things in France. He must, there? fore,- act in such way as shall secure the fidelity of his supporters, and satisfy Frenchmen that the opposition are not a power, no matter what the number and the weight of their sue- ? cesses at .elections. He may lind it necessary to put himself in opposition to the opposition, and thus tho con? test become one between his dynasty t and the discontented party, though at present it may be, and most probably it is, nothing of the kind. In this lies his dinger; for the changes of 1830 and 1843 proceeded from at? tempts on the part of the Govern? ment _ to contend against public opini?n; and in a contest of tho kind he may prove as unfortunate as were Charles X and Louis Philippe. All reflecting and intelligent men admit that the prosperity of the coun? try can only be re-established by the restoration of that condition of pro? found peace which prevailed ' before the late civil war. If sectional pre? judices and the passions which were kept alive by the events of the war t continue, the mere termination of hostilities is not peace. If interested politicians, greedy office-holders, hun? gry place-hunters and radical journals keep up an incessant fire of the poi? soned weapons of defamation and slander, the splendid victories of thc Union armies will bcalrcoct barren of good results. Hundreds of thousands of lives were sacrificed to restore the Union, and an enormous national debt was contracted for the same pur? pose. Tho prodigous resources and indomitable energies of the Northern States were unsparingly employed ? during four years to accomplish this j result. To restore the Union, crnsh I out the doctrine of secession and abo? lish slavery, were the groat oonsider.i ! tions which actuated the statesmen and soldiers of tho United States. Their triumph, the people of the South admit, has been complete. Tho I Confederacy has been utterly annihi? lated, the authority ot' the laws and Constitution of the United States fully restored, secession is dead, und slavery is at its last gasp, ?md by the 1st of January, l?S(,<?, it will be dead. The mighty armies of the Union having accomplished all that was ro quired of them, have been disbanded." The officers and soldiers who compose those armies ure satisfied with the re? sult, and they declare tliat the punish? ment which has been visited upon the people of the South is as j terrible as the most implacable could desire. Having exposed themselves to every danger, hardship and privation of.the war, and carried the banners ol' tho Union into the heart bf thc Confede racy,'they know that a people can be fearfully punished without calling in the aid of the hangman or of the con? fiscator. When the defeated people have heretofore failed in an exhaustive effort at revolution, they have randy suffered half as much as the people of tho Confederate States have done. Hundreds of thousands of the bravest und most promising young men of the South have been killed, and more than three-fourths of our wealth has been utterly destroyed. The proud hopes of the leaders of the Confederacy have been utterly crushed, and thc people of the South, from being among thc most prosperous, are now the-very poorest in all Christendom. Tho "punishment of the South" has ' been as complete as those whose valor restored the supremacy of the Uniqn desired it to be. From all that we can learn, the disbanded Union of? ficers and soldiers are, almost to a man, humanely and conservatively in? clined.. They know how absolutely necessary peace, in its broadest and most catho? lic acceptation, now is to the happy consummation of the work which they fearlessly perilled so much to accom? plish. North and South, wc-believe, thc groat mass of tho good, men and statesmen of all parties earnestly desiro thc i-e-ostablishment of a Union of States, possessing precisely the same legal and political rights. j lt is greatly to bc deplored that thc wishes, hopes and aspirations of tho soldiers and conservative masses of both sections arc at this time utterly contemned and disregarded by an ac tive, merciless and most unpatriotic faction, who are engaged in the trea? sonable work of impeding and pros? trating the work which thu armies of United States have so thoroughly per? formed. If there arc at this time any men who deserve to bc punished as "disunionists," they arc those wicked radicals who are now laboring to pre? vent ten States from cheerfully return? ing to the Union, with all their civil rights. If there ai* now any "contu? macious," "sullen" and "rebellious traitors," whoso personal hostility to tho Government calls loudly for chas? tisement, they are to bo found among the followers of Horace Greeley and Wendell Phillips. The radicals alone, of all the parties and factions in, this country, aro boldly and malignantly "in rebellion" against the deolared policy of President Johnson. The people of the South are render? ing a cheerful obedience to thc Con? stitution and laws, a?d are giving a cordial, support to the President's po? licy to restore them and their States to their original status in the Union. * No where has he warmer and more confiding friends. The resolutions adopted at the meeting on the Capitol Square on. Tuesday but breathe the unanimous spirit of the entir? South. We want peace. To secure it we have honestly acknowledged the defeat and irrevoe.ablo decision against us of all our late cherished opinions. Seces? sion is dead-doubly death Tho last throe of slavery is over, and it only awaits burial. We henceforth are for "the Uni?n-one and indivisible," and hope that President Johnson may be able to thwart tho radical factionists, whoso success can only result in tho degradation of thc South, the perpetu? ation of discord, and the defeat of his atbninistration. -Richmond Times.
