RHODE ISLAND ELECTION.


In all the elections for Representatives to the
next Congress that took place previous to Tuesday
last extending through twenty-six States, our poll
teal opponents had gained but single Member
in strong Wing district of Kentucky, where there
existed among the Wings irreconcileable differences
Of opinion as to their own charlottesville in the
other States our friends have made nett gain of
something like forty Members. 1t now seems,
however, that we must give the Democrats credit
for the gain Of another Member-and this one, too,
in State and District where lukewarmness or de-
lection on the part Of the Wings was not to have
been expected. The following paragraph, from the
Boston Atlas Of Wednesday, tells the story, so far
we yet know it:
g We have returns Of the special election held
yesterday in the Western District of Rhode Island,
from all the towns but two, which sum up as fol-
lows: For Benjamin B. Thurston IL. F.) 2,3Os;
for Wilkins Updike (Whig) 2,249; for Lauriston
Hall (Abol.) so. There is no doubt Of Thurston's
election: the Providence Journal gives it up
At the first trial. in April last Mr.. Updke recev-
ed 2,O35 votes Mr.. Thurston 1928; Mr.. Arnold

"NEw PHASE OF THE MEXICAN WAR"-Under
this head the Charleston Evening News-whosc
Editor calmly PHILOSOPHERS upon events which set
some OF our contemporaries beside their wits--spe-
culates as follows upon the late news of the return
of ex-President Paroles to Mexico:
"By the arrival Of Paroles in Mexico the con-
test with that country will assume new aspect.
We think it a fortunate event. conflict between
the Monarchsts and Federalists of Mexico, blend
cd as i must be with the question of continuing
or concluding hostililies with the United States,
will lead to the formation Of a powerful Peace
party IN that country. The Federasts will, from
choice, court an alliance with that power towards
which it is attracted by political sympathy, and
which promises support against their political
enemies. If under the leadership Of Santa Anna
and Paredes a sentiment Of nationality could be
produced, the war would be indefinitely prolong-
ed but these rival chieftains appear on the scene
with undated hatred-with feelings mutually EN-
Uttered. There can be no union or common tie
between them, unless Mexican parties form an
exception to the history of all other parties SINH
larly circumstanced The performance of one
will lead to the Punishment or destruction of the
other"

language
The vote of our city is proud and glorious
achievement. Not as a mere partisan triumph do

The Government Editor, in :" the Union" Of
yesterday, formally contradicts a rumor, which il
seems had become current at Baltimore, that the
President of the United States was about to author
ize the g issue of commissions for Privateers TO
cruize against the Mexicans," which issue of COM
missions, writer in the Patriot, creditng the ru-
NOR, reProbates in terms not at all too strong for
such an usurpation Of power. But the rumor itself
is, it seems, without any sufficient foundation.
" 1t turns out" says the Union, " that no commits
" sion has been issued at Baltimore or any where
!. else and that the PRESIDENT has no intention Of
issuing them" And, adds the Union, " In fact,
" the impression is, that, Congress is authorized
"by the Constitution to grant letters Of marque
" and reprisal, the President has power to issue
"' commissions for privateers without the autho-
I" rity of Congress- Undoubtedly, the impress
sion of the Executive and his advisers is correct
This particular power being placed in the hands Of
Congress by the Constitution, as the " Union -
says, the President has no right to exercise it.
The " Union speaks like oracle.
But the same reasoning which denies to the Pre-
sdent the power to issue commissions to Priva-
teers, because the Constitution has placed it else
Where, applies with equal force to an important
class of powers which the President has exercised,
and especially to the erection of civil governments
in provinces held by the military power of the Uni
ted States and to the revenue which he has under
taken to raise and disburse in foreign countries
These are powers granted TO Congress as plainly,
unequivocally, and indisputably, as the power to
grant letters of marque, &c. in the following words
Congress shall have power "to make rules
concerning captures ON land and water
There is no difference, in fact, between the mode
and the character of the grants to Congress of these
two powers. They not only conveyed in
equivalent terms, but they are combined in one
sentence with the general power to make war, and
they CANNOT be separated or construed the one diff
ferenly from the other by any effort Of human in
genuity. For thus saith the Constitution:
Congress shall have power i" to declare war,
grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make
rules concerning captures on land and water
Upon the showing of the " Union,'' therefore,
the President, in issuing his Tariff ukase, &c. has
clearly transcribed his constitutional authority.

The death of the Hon. JOHN MATTocKs, Of Yer
mont, already announced, invites at least passing
tribute to his memory. No one who had only
known him, as we did, during his service in Con-
gress, in which he was remarkable for his plain and
unobtrusive manners, along with an honesty that
transpred in all his conduct, would have supposed,
as was the fact, that he had been ~ successful
member of the Bar, and for some - 00tfdge of the
Supreme Court Of his State. He served two terms
as Representative in Congress, % afterwards one
term as Governor Of his State, declining to
longer in that capacity on account Of domestic af-
fictons. He was of kind and benevolent heart
and temper, which, with his proverbial integrity,
made him popular at home and respected every
where.

Some of our contemporaries who are afflicted
with periodical fits of Anglomana-usually most

found, in the recent return of the Mexican Chief
tain Paroles to his own country, very plain ind-
cations of deep British intrigue. The following,

source, comes just in time to relieve them from
that apprehension
