A Natloi.al lart3 Itn IJasi: Ily Aim.
That the Union Parly, first organized in
Georgia in 1850, is destined ta lorni this nucleus
of a great National Republican Party, we have
always believed. Two years atro we predicted
that the two old pxuedo national poli'.ic.'.l organ
izations would scaicely oillive ths late Presi

tlinali.ed and corrupt incongruous id prlnct-

1 1 y us have been already realised, the present'
condition of tilings ioriti and Nnutli may ne

ties aro virtually broken up, must be app irent
to every bcrulii.ising observer. That the scat

KoiriiiiiiT us lo their principles and measures in !
by-gone years. We have now to consider their j
present discordant elements and tactions design. !
i At :!ie North, poliiicians of the Buffalo stamp,
' under the smiles and patronaee of the Federal
(ioverninent, rule the hour, whilst al the South,
' Nashville Conventiouists, under the same seduc

ty. The true, tried friends of the Union, every-
wnere, must oanu logeiuer, ana Keep logeiner ;
it maiters not under what name, so their prin
ciples and aims are one and indivisible.
Rui it may be asked, have we any principle
in common, and what are they ? We answer,
yes; and some of the leadin r articles in our po
litical creed may be found below, and read and
understood by all men. 1 hey are
1st. The maintenance of ihe Rights of the
States as inditpentably necessary to the union
ot the Stales.
2d. The maintenance of the Compromise of
1850, as a sacred and final settlement of all
those delicate questions which it invol ves, and
the consequent rejection of sectional agitation
and aggression.
3d. A rigid economy nd scrutiny in the Ad-

never permitting the Federal power to transcend
those limits clearly defined and prescribed by
the Constitution.
4th. The avoidance of all entangling and
embarrassing alliances with other nations, but
sympathising with them when strtisgling for
freedom and constitutional liberty.
5th. The lawful acquisition of such territory
as the increasing wants of the people may de
maud, and its incorporation into ihe confederacy,
under such restrictions, and sue.li only, as the
Federal Constitution clearly and explicitly pre
scribes. b'th. A fair and equitable distribution among
all ihe States, of the proceeds arising from the
sale ol the public domain.
7th. A strieily Revenue Tariff, giving iiow-
ever, by just and equitable discriminations, in-
cidental protection to American industry.
In view of the indelicate, unwarrantable, un-
luntruciiiru, nnu perinciuus 1 n le i ic re nee oi me

we would add another to our creed, in addi-
tion lo the forgoing; viz :

Of all the countries conquered by the Span
iards on thisco.-.tiiiM.t, Peru presented the most
remarkable evidences of progress from barbarism
and approximation to civilization ,....
in its eniire polity and customs even the refine
ment and cultivation of i,e intelligent Aztecs,
whose beautiful city of Mexico, as it lay on tli
bosun ol the lovely lake of Tezcuco, was, tak
en hy itself, the 0st remarkable instance of
barbaric splendor and the greatem triumph of
uncivilized intellect, of which history gives us
any account.
When the avarice and fierce proselylitin of
the Spaniards first led them to the distant and
almost inaccessible coasts of Peru, they found
a far more extended empire than forms the pres
ent limits of ihe Republic of that name. It
stretched alono; the Pacific coast from the se
cond degree of north to the thirty -seventh of
south latitude, and embraced the modern l(e
nublicsof Ecuador. Peru, nnd Holm and Chili.
It cipital was C.izco. from which diverged
four irreat roads leading to the four parts into
which the empire was divided. These roads
are among the prea lest of ancient Peruvian
achievements, and are indeed wonderful works
for untutored Indians to have accomplished.
I hey were built of heavy flag, f f,,r stone
and were conducted OVer pathless sierras cover
ed wnli snow; were cut for leagues through soli.l
rock; pasted, by stairways, over lofty precipi
ces ; crossed rivers on bridcres swung in the air;
" V ' "" oi nioeons depth filled
up
w i.. mum masonry, ami thus traversed
the
wuom country; one of them alone reaching
an extent of nearly two thousand miles.
Along these magnificent highways, always kept
in perf-et order, every ten miles wore buildings
of stone for the accommodation f
the public business and of the armies ol ilia
empire ; few others ever traveling in Peru. Im
mense granaries and depots of arms in fortified
buildings were located at suitable distances
along the entire routes.
No man could he rich, nor could any one
ever become poor in Peru. No title in the soil
was allowed lo the people ; the Inca was the
sole owner of the freehold and permitted mere
ly a right of occupancy ; the whole land beino
each year parceled out to the entire population".
It was a thoroughly agrarian system. Ths
subjects labored first for their o-n.l il,. .
then for the support of the government, and'
lastly for themselves. Idleness in Peru was a
crime: and

were unknown.
Each year a census of the whole poople and
of all their products and manufactures was taken,
and recorded in their ijuipucnmnyiu or registers,
and transmitted to the capital with great accu
racy, though the art of writing and the idea of an
alphabet were wholy unknown lo them.
The postal system was unknown in Europe
previous to the discovery of Mexico and
Peru. Relays of eouriers were placed all
along the public roads, am! intelligence was
transmitted and parcels carried by footmen,
hundreds of miles in a day. The news of a
war or rebellion was thus at once brought to the
court, and the army marched along the national
highways increasing their numbers if needed
as they progressed. The conquered province
was at once made a part of the empire by the
removal of thousands of its people to a distant
and peaceful part ofthe counlry ; and as many
reliable citizens with iheir families were remov
ed in turn to the toiiquc-nd country, there for
ever to remain.
Hut we must pause. We have neither the
space nor time lo write lhe history and coudiliou
ol Peru at the time of the conquest, either as
to its bocial, civil or religious customs. Our
design was only to enlist lhe attention and in
terest of those not familiar with Prescott's Con-
luest ot Peru or the volume before us, in a
subject full of instruction and interest amount
ing almost to the romantic. lhe antiquities of
8L.cn a people, lo some ol whose remarkable

The Treatv of Alliance between France
and England, It is stated that the treatv of
alliance agreed and signed by Count Walewski
on the pari ol r ranee, and Lord Clarendon on
the part of England, guaranteeing the integrity
of Turkey, was dispatched immediately by
couriers lo Berlin and V ienna, with an intimation
that from the day ol its arrival attach of these cap
itals a period of seven days would be allowed to
the cabinets of Prussia aud Austria to determine
upon their assent or refusal to enter into the ar
rangement. If agreed to, well and good; if
rejected, it was to be understood that France
and England would take Ihe settlement and re
sponsibilities of this Eastern controversy into
their own hands. Il is inferred from the terms
of the treaty, that Russia will be required forth
with to evacuate the Danubian Principalities,
or that, in refusing, she haxards the momentous
consequences of an immediate joint declaration
of war from England and France.
