Mr.. sherman's Am, ndment 10 the Army Ap.
prop IatIOn Bill.


The army-appropriation bill passed the
House yesterday with Mr.. Sherman's
amendment The meaning Of this amend
ment is, that anybody in Kansas who
chooses to violate the laws Of the Territory
may do so with impunity, provided he can
muster force enough to resist their execu-
tion by the officers appointed by the Terri
torial Legislature to execute them In
other words, the federal troops in Kansas
are not TO be used for the execution of the
laws if they are resisted }; but If tbey-are
resisted, and the Territorial officers have
strength enough to overcome the resistance
by force, then the federal troops are TO in
terfere to prevent their enforcement, under
the plea of preserving the peace. The
amendments Of, Messrs. Barbour and Cum
back were mehly, and direct and bold, in
amendments are offered with the knowledge
that they will be defeated, and that the
persistence in them by the House will de-
feat the army appropriation. Mr.. Sher-
mans proposition differs only in appear
ance, while in substance il results, like the
Others, in a scheme for continuing the Sec
tional agitation, aud Of evading the respon-
sibility of rejecting the Senate paclfcation
BILL Washington Union.
SroPP1NG THE WHEELS OF GOVERNMENT
One Of the correspondents Of the Baltimore
Sha makes the following sensible remarks
upon the movement 10 the House Of Rep
resentaiives TO embarrass the operations Of
the government by factious amendments to
the appropriation bills: tr .a,.
"The action of the House 10 adopting
Sherman's amendment to the military APP
preparation bill is an event in the history
Of our country. The question is not 50
much whether the amendment itself is
fraught with mischief as whether majority
Of the House can compel the two other CO.
ordinate branches of the goVernment-the
President and the Senate--to accede to
their commands, or stop the wheels Of gov
ernment. If the House possesses sneh o
coercive means, the Senate also can apply
it, and thus enforce its will or break down
the government Against the presidential
veto the constitution has provided par
liamentary remedy but against the arbi.
trary will Of an accidental majority in either
branch Of the national legislature there is
no remedy. This might be considered
a easHS Ouissts in the constitution, if it was
not evident that the trainers Of that insru-
ment never contemplated the possibility of
such action. The proceeding is plainly an
attempt to subveft the constitution, BY
making the majority of one Of the eo-ordi-
nate branches Of the government the sole
arbiier Of the fate Of the nadon, TO the ex.
clusion Of the two others" "7'4' -a'"

/ New CONSTITUTION FOR MEXICo.-A new
Constitution for Mexico has been reported
in the Congress of that country. The
President is to hold his Office for four years.
The Legislative Assembly to consist of ONE
House. No law is to be passed prohibit
ing or hindering the exercise Of any kind
of religious worship, though the Catholic
religion is to be protected, when that pro-
lection does not prejudice the interests Of
the people, nor the national sovereign
rights. No titles Of nobility, prerogatives,
or hereditary honors. No person to be
molested, nor his house searched, nor any
property or papers seized, except by com
petent judicial authority. The right to
possess and carry arms for defence is guar
antied. No soldiers TO be quartered in
time of peace on any private person without
his consent The military TO be at all
times subject to the Gill law. No viola
tion of correspondence in the Post-ofiice
Slavery is prohibited, and slaves escaping
hither are TO be free No treaty to be
ever made for the delivery Of slaves esca-
ping to the republic. The press to be free.
No letters of security nor passports are to
be required education to be free the
right Of petition to be iuviolable there
are to be no national monopolies Of any
kind. There is to be no trial by jury no
Imprisonment for debt condemnation to
service in the chain.6ang is prohibited.
This appears to be an excellent Constitu-
tion. One party, however, wants two
Houses Of Congress and the prohibition Of
the exercise of any other form Of religious
worship than Catholic -. .-

The following exquisit Poem, by William Pitt PAN

most eminent Of European critics. to be the finest pro
duction Of the same length in our language
From the quickened womb of the primal gloom,
The sun rolled black and bare,

And when the broad tent of the armament
Arose on its airy spars,
pncIed the hue Of it, mAtchless blue, .i
And spauged it rouud with stars. .....
I painted the flowers of the Eden bowers,
And their leaves of living green, V
And mine were the dyes in the sinless eyes
OF Eden's virgin queen
And when the fend's art in the trustful heart
Has fastened its mortal spell,
IN the sivery sphere of the frst-born tear
To the trembling earth fell.
When the waves that burst DER a world accursed,
Their work Of wrath had sped
And the Ark's lone few, tried and true,
Come forth among the dead:
With the wondrOus CLEANS Of my bridal beams,
bade their terror cease, p .t.
A. wrote on the roll Of the storms dark scroll,
Gods covenant Of peace. . .......
Like pan at rest on a senseless breast,
Nights funeral shadow slept
Where shepherd SWANS on the Bethlehem plains,
Their lonely vigils kept; HH
When flashed on their sight the heTalds bright
OF heavens redeemng plan, @ r. u
A. they ehantel the morn Of Savior born
Joy, Joy, to the outcast man. .eliI "-..
Equal favor show to the lofty and low,
On the just and unjust descend; ''
E'cn the blind whose vain spheres roll in darknes

Feel my smile the blest smile Of friend.
Nay the flower Of the waste by my love is embraced
As the rose in the garden of kings; H..r.
Al the Chrysalis bier Of the worm appear,

Our RESOURCES OF NAVAL STRESGTH.-From an
article III tile Boston Courier, upon the recent war
excitement, we extract the following
England would have no chance of winning any
glory from contest with u.s. without her people were
thoroughly united and jealous for the war-ths they
are not nor they likely to be. Should they, how
ever forget their own pursuits of Freedom and join
their oppressors i'll seeking with the only coun-
try in the world that sympathses with the cause of
labor and libertythe struggle would be- indeed, one
worthy Of heroic age-a contest for the dominion of
tile ocean. The weakness of Engand's insular posi-
ton would he apparent in or two years, when the
uncquaed supplies of timber and naval stores, iron
and coal of America, would be exhibited in the con-
nued production of fleets surprising the capacity of
all the world.
To-day there are ship carpenters and ioiners
enough in the United States to build two hundred
war steamers of the size of the Merrimac, each year
without diverting a man from any other branch OF
trade, and machinists enough to fit them with EN-
gines and sailors enough to man them. Since the
days Of Tromp and Ruyter, England has never had a
really naval power to contend with She has destroyed
fleets, but the nations who owned them have not beer
able to replace them again. We doanot speak o
armies for in such a war they would be of sccondar,
Importance. The chiyalric valor of our people need
no encomium and the superior military education o
our officers over the British is too notorious to requi

PARTISAN PREssEs.-The National Intelligenccl
thinks that the present exasperated feeling between
England and the United States is, in great measure
owing to portion of the public press. on both sides
of the water. The Intelligencer says:
We have often thought that if every citizen in Our
country had read the numbers of the London Times
and every Engishman had read the editorials of the
Washington Union regularly, during the last five
years. the two countries would have long since been
at war with each other and thousands Of innocent
men would by this time have been slain in battle. and
hundreds of vessels and millions Of property would
have been captured OF destroyed. Fortunately how
ever, the people either side see very little of the
belligerent journals of the other and the abusive rr
tating language in which they indulge, passing, OF
home at its true value, falls comparatively harmless
on the public sense.

SURRENDER OF ANOTHER INDIAN BELONGING TO

that all except two of the band of Indians who at

received a letter from the Indian Agency at Fort
Laramie dated the 24th of November last, which
states that the nephew of Red Leaf, Brue Indian,
had surrendered to him at that date, in compliance
with the demand of General Harney, commanding
the Sioux expedition, and had been delivered to Col
Hoffman, commanding Fort Lawrence. There is now
but one Indian remaining of this party that has not
surrendered, and he is quite young, and lying very i'll
with the consumption at an Indian village on the
South fork of the Cheyenne river which indspostion
prevents his removal An interpreter had been sent
to this Indian village to bring correct account of
his condition, who states that there is no chance of
his recovery +: that he wished to be brought in and
that he sent the Agent word that "he would come in
as soon as he could walk if he recovered so far"
This is another instance of the good faith of the In
