The Reaction in the Calf States.

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore American, writing on the
llth, says:
Letters received in this city from
north Alabama and parts Of Georgia rep
resent agreat reaction in progress against
the secession movement. So strong is
this feeling in some quarters that they
are said to refuse to ackuowl dge the SC.
cession ordinance, and Ike p the stars and
stripes flying. The same feeling prevails
in portions Of Mississippi and Louisiana,
and the question naturally arises, Will
the Southern Confcdcracy use coercion
agai' st its refractory subjects?
A letter from Georgia member of
Congress was shown around the House
of Representatives to day, in which he
deplores the reaction in the popular mind
in the Gulf Stotcs. and fears it's increase
ifa compromise is effected satisfactory to
the Border States.

German.Ameriean Djplomats,

Our Washington correspondent alludest to
the question of the appointment of citizens
of foreign birth to leading diplomatic pc
sitions in Europe, which is troubling the
Administration somewhat. AS we intended
to say something on this subject, we take
this occasion, differing slightly from our cor
respondent, while we let him free his mind,
as we desire every. body to do. We are not
disposed to recognize any distinction in our
citizens on account Of foreign or American
birth; but there is a question offtness for a
diplomatic position in Europe, in which for
mer allegiance and connection with revOlu-
tionary contests in Europe, may be an es-
sential consideration.
If our diplomatic establishments 10 Europe
have any intelligent purpose, it is to Guilt
waite friendly relations with European
Powers. To send a Minister to reside at an
European Government, who is obnoxious to
it or to ~reighboring Powers, with which it
desires to maintain friendly relations, would
turn our diplomatic establishments to just
the opposite purpose for which they were
intended. ambassadors who are sent abroad
to represent this Government should repre-
sent this Government alone; not a revo-
lutionary old grudge against an European
Government, which would make him liable
to suspicion, and our Government to I'M.
friendly feeling.
The Administration would not send an
American, born citizen abroad as Minister, if
he were obnoxious to the Government to
which he was accredited, or to any neighbour
ing Powers with which we desired to main
tain friendly relations. To apply the same
rule TO citizens of foreign birth is not an
invidious distinction, no matter what the
reason which has made them Objectionable.
We presume hat Mr.. Stewards rule in re-
gard 70 this question lie not one OF birth, but
Of fitness; and that he objects to sending
men abroad in diplomatic positions wh'
would be regarded as agitatOrs in European
troubles.

DoueIas His Own Interpreter.

When Douglas was at Norfolk. Va, during
TIE Presidential canvass, be was asked, in
writing, the following;
'Question-If they, the Southern States,
etcede from the Union upon the inauguration
Of Abraham Lincoln, before he commits an
overt act against their constitutional rights,
will you advise or vindicate resistance. by
force to their Secession?
"Voices-'No, no! Bell men say no,
Douglas"
1t will be observed that this supposes Just
the case which has happened. The following
Is tie wsy he then proposed to treat it. By
looking on this picture, and then on that of
bis recent performance, people may see the
difference between promise and performance;
"Mr. Donglas-T answer emphatically that
il ia the duty Of the President OF the United
States, ard all others in authority under him,
70 enforce the laws Of the United States as
passed by Congress as the Courts expound
1htm.' tGheeIs And |, rs in duty bound
by my cath of fidelity to the Constitution,

ment OF the United States in maintaining
tie supremacy Of tue laws against all resist
erce TO them, come from what quarter it
might [Good In other words, l think
the President of the United States, whoever
be may be, should treat all attempts to
break up the Union, by resistance to its
laws, as Old Hickory treated the nulli6ers in
1892 (Applause.l ]"

Political parties are in just that state in
this city, where the nomination Of the lest
men will be the most potent element for
success. II would be well for the city if it
were alV avs so. Neither party, nor any
fusion Of parties, can afford to put in nomi-
patton men who are unworthy of the public
Confidence ard the party which presents
The candidates who are best entitled to the
public confidence will have a better prospect
tcr success than can be cyphered out of any
party strength On the basis of previous
e ections.
The nominations should be made on local
grounds entirely. The city government is
ercugh to be attended to in a city election.
II That is well attended to, it wiz be glory

a other ways in which our citizens can ex-
Irtss themselves on the national troubles.
We have some grievous sores on our corpo-

In cases Of positive crime, is iealously

LET us take comfort. Corruption in high
places is not all m~onopolized by the popular
Government, as by a most dismal joke our
quadrennial, open and. shut form of govern.
mentis called. The failure Of the banker and
stockjobber Mirss, at Paris, recently, has
disclosed that he had all the relatives of the
Emperor under pay.
According to enc writer, Mires has spent
in this way more than half a million ofdollars
q year for FIVE years past. The late uncle Of
tie Emperor, Jerome Bonaparte, is said to
have had $1,000 900; his cousin, the Princess
Mathilde, 800, 900; NJ. Baroche, Vice-Presi-
dent Of the Corps Legislatif, S35,0Oo; while
NJ. Morny, the Emperor's illegitimate brother,
aid President of that body, is believed to
lave exceeded even the Prince Jerome in his
receipts from the same vast source of cor
Tuption.
This is cutting it rather fat. Think of the
spiteful Msthilde getting a plum. In time,
with ass;duous cultivation, some of them
psy be qualified to shine at the American
Court, though as yet our Floyd and Thomp.
son are re erless.

ARCHBISHOP HUGHEs, in a lecture at Irving
Hal, New York, on st. Patrick's Day (Sun-
dayl laid down the following as the rule
which governs the conduct Of Catholics in
regard to Secession. We extract from the
brief abstract of the Herald;
HE concluded by saying that in our own
country, where there had been 30 much ex-
c~itement-all of which he trusted would
terminate smicably-(applause)--for every
man, North and South (they called it North
ard Soutbb though they talked about di-
vision and war-there was but one rule for
q Catholic wherever be was that was to do
his duty-to do bis duty as a citizen. If
living South Of Mason and Dixon's line, he
thought those on that side were right. he
ought to fight there; and if we here thought
the other way, we would fight too. (Ap-
plause and laughter But no matter how
deep and wide they might make the ehasm
dividing the North and South in their DO
liiical relations, they could not divide the
Catholics on both sides of the line; for,
though they might not be very distinguished
engineers, so far as religion was concerned
they could throw over the chasm. (Great
applause and laughter)p
