The Southern COnfederacy.

It is astonishing with what facility III,
an independent Confeleracv, are casting from
them many Of the principles they held as car.
dinal to tho preservation Of liberty in years
gone by. Some of them advocate the obit.
Grafton of all State lines, and the establish
ment of consolidated Republic. and yet it

~, tina. has enabled them to carry on so sue
rsssfully the revolution in which they are now
engaged.
Others maintain that strong government
70 essential TO their perpetuity, peace and
power, and insist on Monarchy, or military
Despotism, looking upon Republic as the
government Of mob, and under which no
species Of property is secure
In reference to citizenship, It Ia proposed
10 require, as was insisted on by the Amcri-
can party. and denounced in unmeasured
terms by the democracy, and the leaders of
the present revolution; that all foreigners
shall be required to pass probation Of 81
years before they shall be admitted to citizen
chip and some go farther than that, even
requiring that they shall he forever excluded
from the right Of the elective franchise. The
Helena (Arksnsas) Shield says:
ut is a gratifying reflection to know that
o great majority OF the Southern Democracy
favor the exclusion of foreigners from the
right of suffrage, in case Southern C"nfed-
eracy is formed. We have convcrsed with
great number Of sensible, Influential Demo-
Gratis on this subject of late. and they alnos,
universally conCede the necessity of such re-
strlctlon, it being NO perfectly palpable that
the foreign element of the country, combined
with native au.i-sla,cr vote', secured Lin
coin. election"
1t is very evident that our Southern bre.h-
ron. who have been irving to turn themselves
out 'houseless and homeless" have no well |
defined idea Of the character Of that govern
mcnt they propose tosubstitute for our PRES
Ont glorious Confsdcracy, and It is more than

be 80 oppressive, SO contrary to what they

been educated, that before many months they |

COnnellsyiIle Rail Road.

Application was recently made by the
above named company to tho city OF Baltl-
more, for funds to aid In the construction OF
this road from its present terminus towards
this city. We perceive by the Baltimore pa
pe,s that the committee Of the City Council
of Baltimore to whom the matter was refer
red, has reported adversely to the applca-
ton.
The committee we believe, has not assign
ed any reason for their recommendation, at
least, If they have, it has not been made pub
lie. We apprehend however that the pres
ent excited state Of the country, and conse-
urent depression of business hss had much
to do with their action; under more favor

(erent course.

completed from Uniontown, Pa, to Pittsburg,
is destined to be, when finished, one of the
most prolific feeders to tho Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad of any that now pour their
freight into her lap, and Of some considerable
advantage to this city. Tho road is now
within 81 miles of Cumberland. Along this
81 miles the road has been located and some
5000, 900 expended at the Summit Tunnel
SO miles from Cumberland. This Tunnel is
the only heavy work upon the whole line
The Tunnel is $50 icct long aud is finished
within 25Oft. |, is estimated that So 500,0 900
will complete and equip the road. We would
rejoice much to see this road finished, but we
can have no hope Of such a desirable event
until our political troubles are over.

Good Signs In the North.

1t has been urged rs tine Of the reasons for
the secession OF the Southern States, that the
Northern Legislatures have passed what is
called personal liberty bills. the tendency of
which is to obstruct the enforcement Of the
fugitive slave law. aud that these laws are un-
constitutional. Whether these laws are oh
noxious to the Charges OF our Southern friends
or not, It is gratifying to find tina: the legis-
latures OF the free States are disposed to re-
move them from their statute books aud thus
do a~ay with this cause of com plant. Rhode
Island has already acted, and by decided
vote repealed her personal liberty bill, and it
is asserted that Massachusetts. New York and
Pennsy'vania are preparing 10 do likewise
The Law of Connecticut has been declared by
the C,.ii6ers Of her laws to he uuconstitu,ion-
al, aud therefore will he removed from her
statute book. The work then Of removing
this cause Of offence is rapidly progressing.
and indicates disposition upon the part Of
the free States to grant US our rights A very
marked change is also taking place among
the masses Of the people Of the North, that
ought to satisfy Us Of the South. that they do
