Itseens that Spain is doing a little fill
clustering on the American system; while
the United States, which 50 long kept her
in fear by the same propensities, are falling
10 pieces. This is learning from her enc
mics TO good purpose. Dominica annexed,
Hsyti will soon follow; and this refuge
which the persecuted American negroes
were looking TO, and have sought in consid-
cradle numbers, will be reduced to the Cuban
system OF slavery, and another large market
opened for African slaves.
Our Government could have nothing to
say in the matter, even il we had an estab-
lished Government for it has always refused
to recognize the independence of these Afri-
can Governments, although our trade with
them is important. So, as far as we are
concerned, Dominica still belongs to Spain,
and Hayti TO France; and France, it is re
ported, countenances this filibustering of
Spain. England will, of course, have her
hands tied from interference, by her ALI
snce with France; that appearing, so far,
TO be the chief benefit of that alliance.

RICHMOND, Va, March 3O.-In the Con-
vention 10. day Mr.. Wise offered a series of
amendments as a substitute to the majority
report. They were referred and ordered to
be printed. 1t is not belived that they en-
brace the propositions of his minority report.
Some entertain the opinion that the Con
vention will adjournin about two weeks.
The agricultural portion of the Convention

Domestic h ela,ions n, New OrIeau.

The statement of Mr.. Robinson in Satur-
days Press in regard to the mixed marriages
at New Orleans, was that Roman Catholic
priests solemnized marriages between white
and colored persons, although they are con-
trary to the law. We did not notice this par
ticular feature till it was published but we
suppose the Roman Catholic clergy are not
alone in this; and if they are, it is to their
credit. We suppose that any clergyman
should marry parties whose marriage is an
accomplished fact, rather than they should
live in adultery, no matter what the law. Of
course he is not called to expose himself to
legal penalty for this, but when laws, especi-
ally those not found in reason nor morality,
have become practically null, it is about the
anne as if they were repealed. At least, in
the progress oflaw, much that was once law
has gone out in no other way.
An instance of this kind was given in the
recent Yelverton. Longworth case in Ireland.
Ar atrocious law there foIbids a Catholic
Clergymen from marrying a Protestant to a
Catholic. Teresa Longworth was a Catholic
and Yelverton a Protestant; but they were
living together and a Catholic Priest married
them. On the trial the jury got round the
law by finding that Yelverton was a Catholic
at the time. This shows that the law did
not prevent the Priest from doing an act
which would relieve an immoral connection,
and save a woman from danger of abandon
ment; and it shows also, that the law is prac-
tically obsolete.
AS to these mixed marriages in New Or
leans, we presume they are few compared
with the unlicensed relations of this kind,
and that when they occur they grow out of
the responsibilities and affection formed by
previous connection.
We have a law in this State against mixed
marriages, passed by the present Legislature,
similar to the Louisiana law, only the
Southern black laws usually specify blacks
and mulattoes only. 1t applies to all per-
Sons having a visible admixture of negro
blood-a wide opening for malicious scandal.
Yet when instances of these connections
occur, and the white man or woman is will.
ing to make legal r~eparation, the law would
operate only to maintain adultery, and
ought to be ~disregarded by any clergyman.

A ~ee.hnn G OverBment in Mexico.
The Mexican Liberal Government has laid
its liberal hand on the Church property, and
confscated it. The official journal states
that the evacuation of the converts Is being
carried out by the officers of the Govern
ment with firmness, and with a nice regard
for what is due TO religious ladies. For in
stance, these foTcible removals are made in
the night, to avoid agitation and popular
outbreak. OF course they are made without
notice, like some of the descents of our po-
lice. The scene of the descent Of a Govern
ment force upon these religious houses in
the night, carrying off gentle, timid, fright
ened religious women by force, can be inn
agined. 1t caused one popular outbreak, in
spite of the Darkness but it was suppressed
by armed force.
The official paper of the Government says
that thirteen converts have been stripped
and ready to be sold. Nine are still occu-
pied, and to these the women from the others
are carried without reference to the distinc.
ton of their orders.
We doubt ifthe most rigid Of our Protest
ant brethren would venture to suggest such
a method with converts in this country; yet
we observe they approve of il in Mexico. 1t
is singular that our philanthropy is larger,
and our religious liberation less, in proper
ton to distance. We will charitably sup
pose, however, that when our people talk Of
the coDfscatiOn Of Church property in Mex
leo, they have an impression Of some great
accumulation of useless wealth; and that
they do not think OF it as divided into the
various active, religious, educational and
benevolent operations which they Seein this
country.

Cnnnter IrrItnnt.

Mr. CIittendeu, in a letter published in
Sundays Enquirer, rays he provided in his
proposition for establishing slavery in all
territory hereafter acquired, 30 as to settle
the question and the agitation forever. He
must be a good, easy soul If be supposes that
would stop agitation. The flibustering
which would immediately begin, for annex
alton, would stop the slavery agitation about
as much as a moxas applied to the back Of
the neck would quiet the nervous system.
1t is interesting to observe that the Breck-
inridge platform, which before the election
Mr.. 0ritenden and the Northern Democracy
regarded as dangerous to the Union, should
now, when applied to all the territory where
slavery could possibly go, and extended To
all territory which we may hereafter ac-
quire, be just the thing to restore the Union.
This is not more singular, however, than
that Mr.. Crittenden should be prescribing a
remedy TO restore the Union, when the Con-
federstes persistently declare that the Union
itself was their only grievance, and to get
out Of il their only desire.
