NEuTRALITYLAMs.

The proposition by General Quitman to re.
peal our neutrality laws reminds MS Of a sim
liar proposition made in 1854 by Mr. Slidell, to
enable this same General Quitman 10 get up an
armed expedition in the United States with
which TO invade Cuba On that occasion the
Richmond Wig Denounced the pro- position as
"piratical proposition" the New Orleans
Bee as "a course at once prohigate and detest-
able; !" the Norfolk, Virginia, Argus, Demo
cratic paper said, 1--WE must plead guilty to a
holy horror Of fillibustcring, or, indeed, to any
form Of private and irresponsible warfare. The
honor and interests Of the nation are Of too sa-
cred character for their defence to be COM
mitted to the hands Of nameless adventures,
engaged in predatory warfare, always harrass-
ing and demoralizing" Another Southern pa
per said, for the sake Of our national reputa-
ton, let us not resort TO the miserable, unwor-
thy expcdient Of conniving at the designs Of
Lone Star associations, and fillibustering adj
venturers"
Such was the voice Of the conservative pre- IS
Of the South then, and what was right then, is
right now. The immutable principles Of jus.
tice never change, though nations, or the peo-
pie which compose them, sometimes change
wonderfully--sometimc for the better, some
times for the worse.

F1LLIBUsrERING AND THE SOUTH

Ii gives US very great pleasure to find two
papers Of such high character and deserved in.
1ueuce as the Spannah Republican and the
KnorrilLe Register, expressing such sentiments
as are found in the extracts from those papers
below. 1t is refreshing truly:
"THE WALKER EXCITEMENT IN rHs SOUTH
II is humiliating that anything should induce
an American Representative 10 take sides
against his own Government, in an issue with
a marauding adyenturer and common disturb

concur with II in sentiment We certainly
have fallen upon strange times, when our Gov

Sound Docti inc.

The following extract from the remarks OF
Mr.. Montgomery Of Pa. in regard to fillibuster-
ing are such as ought to find a response in the
bosom Of every American. They are the old
fashioned doctrines OF Washington, Adams,
jefferson, Madison, Monroe and jackson:
"The venerable gentleman from Mississippi,
mr.. QUIrxASl has assumed the position upon
this floor that the law Of nations does not pre-
vent our citizens from banding themselves to-
gether to invade the territories of other nations
with which we are at peace. From that po-
sition, / entirely dissent. He also contends
that the constitution Of the United States does
not grant to Congress any power whatever to
pass law to prevent our citizens from these
sggressions From this / also dissent
I enter my protest against both these
positions. They are not correct II is q
strange position for n statesman to assume,
that when we have concluded treaty OF peace
with another nation, that treaty is binding on
ly on this nation, and not upon our people I;
that the treaty Of peace amounts only to a
compact which binds the powers Of this gov
eminent, but not the powers Of the people.
maintain that the true doctcine Is, that when
our government is at peace with nation,
every citizen is also Mt peace with that nation !:
that what the nation cannot do no citizen can
do
II would be a monstrous and dangerous
doctrine indeed, to promulgste in this Union,
that when we are at peace with another ma
ton, our citizens can band themselves together
to attack that nation, notwithstanding the
treaty Of peace. II would be a monstrous
doctrine TO teach that one man, or twenty men,
or ten thousand men, or the vast millions who
people our extended domains, can arm them
selves, with the gentleman as their leader, II
you please, to march in a body to attack a
neighboring nation with which we have a
treaty Of peace. care not whether there is a
treafy Of peace existing between us and that
nation OF not; it matters nothing in the argu-
msnt Peace is the natural condition Of ma.
ton, and IL is the natural attitude In which
every nation stands TO another, and war is the
unnatural condition and whether there is q
treaty or not, still our citizens have not the
right, unless there Is declaration Of war, to
march armed bands into another country to
violate its laws, and make war upon its citi.
zens."

The Petersburg Tntelligencer calls attention
to the fact that nearly all the prominent par
Elephants in the late Democratic caucus in Rich
mond were renegade Wings II is even So
but It could not have well been otherwise, in
view Of the fact that about one-half the Demo
cratic members Of the Legislature are in the
same category. To get up Democratic meet
ing, anywhere, nowadays, without liberal
supply Of renegades, would be a sheer impos-
sibility. That party is officered, almost alto
gether, by this description ofpoliticians-
who found out that whiggery, in one sense Of
the word, didn't "pay," and made haste to dis
cover something that did. Wing journals are
in the habit Of protesting that tho old Wing
party was one Of the purest and best that ever
existed. We confess we thought 80 ourselves
at one time--bnt we have changed our opinion
since we have seen the vast number Of cor

DOINGs IN cONGREss.

AS to actual business, Congress has done
but little during the past week, while the Globe
labors and grosns under the load of Speeches
that are made IN the two Houses, and appear
in the columns Of that paper daily.
In the Senate, the principal topic Of discus
sion has been the proposition to increase the
Army; but the debate has taken a wide range,
and like every debate called forth by admins
tration measures, has been strongly tinged
with politics.
Mr.. Pearce, of Nd, spoke on Thursday upon
the resolution to present Com. Pauldinga pub
lie testimonial Of appreciation of his conduct in
arresting Walker in Nicaragua. The speech
was an elaborate and very able defence Of
Com. Padding and condemnatory Of all law
less, or fillibustering expeditions against our
neighbors. Following this was an able speech
from Mr.. Toombs in opposition to the increase
of the army.
In the House, thewhole time has been occu-
pied by members delivering themselves OF
speeches they had prepared for home consumr-
ton, upon Kansas affairs. Some Of these arc
of a highly seasoned character, and calculated
to fan the flames now SO fiercely burning, Of
sectional feeling, and political animosity. But
the feelings Of the people will find vent through
the lungs of their Representatives, who, by in
