LEGISLATION IN REGARD To TREATIES


LEGISLATION IN REGARD To TREATIES.
Among the acts passed by the late session
of Congress, was one to carry into effect
certain stipulations in the treaties between
the United States and China, Japan, Siam,
Turkey, Persia, Tripoli, Morocco and Mus
cat, by which our laws in criminal and civil
matters are extended over American citizens
in those countries also the common law
Of equity and admiralty. Ministers and
Consus have full judicial powers, aud can
punish according to the magnitude of the
offense The President is authorized to ap-
point seven Marshalls to execute processes J
one in Japan, four in China, one in Siam
and one in Turkey. Murder and insurrec-
ton, or rebellion against the government of
any of said countries, with the intent to
subvert the same, are made capital offenses,
punishable with death. Our Consuls and
commercial agents on islands not inhabited
by any civilized people, or whom we have
not recognized by treaty, are also empowered
to exercise judicial functions over American
citizens.

An apparently unsophisticatcd youth went
into one of the saloons few days ago and
asked for something to appeaso his hunger.
The keeper gave him very good dinner,
after which the youth said
If you ever come our way CALL
That won't do, your dinner is a quarter,
said the keeper.
20 hain't got any money. but if you
ever come up to Alsgany county, I'll give
you a better dinner for nothing
why said the keeper, you are very cool.'
Why yes Pm a cool chap, so much so my
mother keeps me standing in the pantry
during the hot weather to keep the meat
from spelling.

Proverbs are the extract
Of the wisdom of ages. As the story Of
BOBBY may be told in single one of its
pages, and the pith of that page reduced to
single paragraph, SO the history of the
human heart-which couprehends the record
Of mankind--the experiences of ages can be
aud is told in those proverbs which have
been transmitted from time immemoral to
present days. The entire history and future
to the world is nowhere so we'll told as IN
that old sentence: 1t has been; it is; it will
be. Nowhere is the power of the omnipotent
SO truly and well expressed as in the simple
word Eternity. and the contemplation of
it opens his wonders to the brain-sight OF
our minds.
The following, amongst the least known
but truest of 'volumes in words, require nc
further introduction:
Speech is the gift of although of few.
Humble wedlock is better than proud
yirginity. a-
Time is the Herald Of Truth. 4.
No man is so old but he thinks he may
live another year.
The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but
the mouth of wise man is in his heart.
Nature has given us two ears, two eyes,
and one mouth, to the end that we shall
hear and see twice as much as we speak.
An obedient wife commands her husband,
A nod from lord is breakfast for fool.
Beauty in women is like the flowers in the
spring; but virtue is like the stars in Heav.
en-.
If an ass goes travelling, he will not return
horse.
Laberus says, and most truly: "Be on
such terms with your friend as if you knew
that he would become your enemy"
And the succeeding tIuism from Plantus,
it is to be lamented is held "obsolete'
among the youths of these degenerate days,
"It becmes young man to be modest"
Modesty is the signet which worn preserves
youth or maid against the moral assassin.

The Alabama Resolution

The following resolution was adonted bv
acclamationat an immense meeting of all mar
ties in Montgomery, Alabama. On the part
OF theQemocrats, 1t was supported by Messrs.
Yancey, Gov Moore and others; and on the
part Of the Opposition by Messrs. Watts,
Clanton (Belgt5erett atectors) and others. Il
takes high gronnd None other is ft to be
occupied in a crisis like the present. Take
care tnat IN our "eagerness, to hasten slow
ly" and to be conservative" that we don't
fall below it There is no middle ground;
Resoluad, That the authority and contro:
of the Northern Sectional Abolition party
calling itself Republican, which has lately
elected Abraham Lincoln to the Presidency
over the institutions, rights and liberties of the
people OF Alabama or any other slayeholding
State OF the South, would be ruinous That
such ruinous authority and control is not to
be submitted to, but can only be effectually
resisted by Separate State Action that we are
in favor OF such Separate State Action, and
without any further delay than may be neces-
sary, by the most prompt available means to
procure a free and fraternal consultation
among the people and authorities of the re-
spective slaTeholding States, entered into and
conducted under the patriotic hope that such
consultation will result in the general conclu-
sion, on the part Of the people Of the slavehold-
ing States, that it IS not fit or safe that they
or any of them should be subject to
the control oFany government, the destinies q
OF which are in the hands of said Sectional
Abolition party.

"A New Point"

Under the title, 'Is Lincoln constitution
ally elected President" the Georgia Confeci-
erTcy Offers these ideas:
Abraham Lincoln has been elected Presi-
dent by a sectional anti-slavery vote-by q
minority yotj4-and by States that not only
permit negroes to exercise the right of suf
trage, but by the same States that have nul-
ltied the Fugitive Slave Law.
The question then arises, has a State the
Constitutional right to participate in the cleo
ton OF n President, which has laws upon their
statute books in direct conflict and in opposi-
tien to the Constitution, and the decision OF
the Supreme Court
The Supreme Court has decided, that ne
gro is not citizen; therefore not entitled to
any OF the privileges and Immunites of citi-
zens The Fugitive Slave Law has been pass
ed by Congress and endorsed by the Supreme
Court, yet, nine free States have nullified this
law-haye declared it null and void within
their jurisdiction, and the same States also
enact that negroes are persons and citizens,
and extend - them the high prerogatIve of
the elective franchise. Such being the facts,
has those nulhtying States the Constitutional
right, by negro suffrage to set at defiance the
Laws OF Congress, and the decisions Of the
Supreme Court, and by their fiat or voice at
the ballot box select President upon the
sole idea, that Slavery as held in the Southern
States, ehall be prohibited in the Territories,
and otherwise dwarfed and restricted ? We
think that Lincoln is not constitutionally
elected, and should not be permitted to be
inaugurat'.d President Of the United States.

" Lincoln's Hangman still on his
