We notice, from cur country exchanges, that
a rumor is prevalent Ia some parts Of West
Tennessee, that clause in the Constitution OF
the Confederate States requires a property
qualification az an essential preliminary to
either voting or holding Office under the new
Government. It is useless to say that this Is
an errensOus idea, and no doubt a base fabri-
cation concocted BY q few uuprlnelplsd sdhe-
rents Of the LINCOLN Government, whose anti
southern proelivities lead them to adopt any
means in order to defeat the triumph Of the
southern ticket in the coming election. Noin-
novs'ion has been made by the Confederate
Government upon the cid Federal Constitution
except such as are universally acknowledged
throughout the country SIS eminently wise and
iudicious. Even the northern press have aP-
plauded al Of then, save in solitary instances
where they favored the Institution Of slavery.

LETTERS OF mARQUE REcoS-
NEEED II ENGLAND
The Geographic dispatches recently received
from the North, have not represented the posi-
zion Of Lord JoHE RUSSELL 50 accurately ss
We might have desired. aThs latest papers
from England give US a more complete and ex-
tended report Of bis remarks before s6e Brit
ISL Parliament, relating to the right OF the
Confederate States to issue letters Of marque
in their contest at arms with the Washington
Government. Lord JsHs RUSSELL is reported
10 have said: CAS- to the letters Of narquei
there was a precedent in the case OF Greece
whea it separated from Turkey. The right Of
that country to issue letters Of narqus was al
iswsd, and the law officers Of the erown' "he
had been consulted, had declared that such q
right -0uld belong to the Southern Co~nfederaey."
No more paIpabls acknowledgment OF the
right is wanted than this announcement. II
puts to naught the savage, inhuman and bar
barous threats Of TIE LrNooIE authorities "a
look upon and punish al priyatsersmen, who
may be captured, as pirates. II settles The
principle Of international law, concerning
which the abolition press have been SO terribly
exercised, in favor Of the South, and is, we be-
Hsvs, but the prelude to a much more vital anc
important recognition.

NEW YoRK, May 7, 1851.
DEAR SIR: We have received yours OF the
25th April, and carefully noted contents. We
are fully aware Of the fearful stats Of affairs
that exist In our country. II is indeed la
mentable, beyond alllanguage to portray-but
what can we do? Both sections have been
buried into that terrible slternatiye-eivil
,ear-bv the miserable and wicked demagogues
Who. for a time, seem TO have gained control
/ o. tie public mind. The North Is - thor
I oughIy aroused as the South. There Is Eow no
division Of sentiment as to sustaining the Gov
eminent and unfolding the stars and stripes.
We ali forget past issues. You cannot possibly
conceive the thorough unanimitY that exists
at the North, and to what a pitch OF eB.husi-
asm tae war; feeling has come. / verify be-
liese that the Government could have IN
der control, and thoroughly equipped, In sixty
DAYS, half a million Of men, and five
hundred millions OF dollars, If needed.
Such is the war sririt and love Of the stars and
stripes, here at TIE North. But no one dares
intimate nov that the peculiar institute en- Of
the South'shsl.b be interfered with-the wild IA
naeical abolitionist feeling is all ignored and
forgotten. II is now feeling a sincere love
for the glorious Union, fraught with so many
and such rich blessing to us and to the
world. We feel as deeply as you can,
for this sad and fearful state OF things
but It is now Of no use to attempt
to stay TIE course Of things-the day has gone
By we fear for a peaceful settlement OF the
difficulty. The wicked men, North and South,
who have for long years plotted, labored,
preached and prayed for this state Of things,
have raised a whirlwind which they cannot
now control-it must 60 on for aught we can
see.
Be. do not misunderstsnd rs. We regret
as deeply az you can this position OF things,
and would DO anything, all We could, to stay
the progress Of wGr and death, We would

how It is to be done. We must wal patiently
