Letter Of Marqus Debate 10 sths House /
f1. Iotdo, w. ~.


In the House of Lords on The 10Th Of May,
the Earl Of Derby said that he understood that
her Majesty's government had cometo the con.
clusion that the Southern States Of America
were 70 be considered as belligerent power,
and had referred certain points to the consider
alton of the law officers of the Crown. The
Southern Confederacy had sent out letters of
marque for the purpose Of covering the sea
with privateers, but the Northern States had
declared an intention Of treating privateers as
pirates. He wished to call the attention of the
government to the position In which British
sailors might be placed. forif there was one
thing thai had attractions for Ithem, II was pri-
watering. IL was also desirable that the British
merchants should know in what position they
stood as neutrals, and also that some declara-
tion should be made with respect to British
subjects becoming privateers. He believed that
the latter was criminal offence, but the possi-
bility Of this country being involved In the dis
pute between the two sections Of the American
States was so serious that he sincerely concur
red In the prayer of the noble lord Lord ].
Rus.ell) that we might keep out of IL. He
hoped, thssefore that Il Donld be distinctly decdr.
ed that II any British subject entered upon pripa-
teein9, he must not look to HE government for re-
dress or protection, bus that his blood iDill be on
his ouR head. He hoped that the proclamation
would give most distinct and empnauc warn
ing to British sailors, and especially those in
her Majesty's service. f'4 r,aITr,4 :
Earl Granville said that he quite agreed In
the appreciation which the noble Earl, ahowed
Of the serious consequences of this country be-
coming involved in this unfortunate dispute
The noble Earl had correctly understood the
answer given In another place, that The 9ouern-
ment wOuld issue proclamation OF tcarning 70

ioarning Of The Proclamation should bs earJutls

The Earl of Derby said that he wished tc
know II 1t would be distinctly declared that any
British subject joining in privateeriug must no
look to bis government to save him from hi
own criminal acts. 's.t 20 I.
Earl Granville apprehended that this woult
follow naturally from the proclamation.
Lord Brougham severely denounced the prac
tice Of privateering, and expressed in few
brief but eloquent sentences bis sincere regre
that by mutual concessions the horrors oil
civil war were not likely to be averted In
America fc'4 .i.a lfi
Lord Colchester reminded their lordships thai
the right to send out prvateers was recognized
by International law, and it was only natura
that the weaker state should resort to this mean
Of annoying more powerful enemy.

sln. Houston All Right "A Patriotic Speech
"a Y from HIM. N


The charge that General Houston made se'
cssslon speech at Galveston is all false He
spoke there, however, In defiance Of threats,
and an eye witness says;
About an hour before the time appointed for
bis address he appeared, riding through the
principal streets Of the city. when ne nad
alighted from his carriage he stood for few
moments, fearlessy before the crowd, TO con-
verse with come friends, followed him, with
other gentlemen, Into an adjoining Office. There
we're present about twenty, mostly prominent
| Ssceseionists, but friends Of tho General. All
united in entreaing him not to persist In speak:
| ing when IL would inevitably be at the peril OF
his life. The brave man, however, had but one
answer: 81 have lived In vain, gentlemen, II
can not now speak what think. lfit has come
to that here, may as well die now as Of any
time"
A prominent Secessionist, whose name is con.
spicuous among the rebels OF Texas, Seneral
Nichols, during this conversation, put numerous
| questions 70 Houston touching his present posi-
ton, and relative to certain remarks he was re-
ported 70 have made He asked Houston II nc
ever had said that Jefferson Davis was per-
fdious traitor, and was aiming at dictatoria
powers Turning to him with look OF Win
ering contempt, the old General replied; ~ dc
say so, and in the presence Of God think 80
and will say what / think, though the thunder'
blast me here" As We started TO 60 up to tn!
. place where Houston had appointed to speak,
heard man In the crowd ask this same Gene
raj Nichols, "Well, what did you get out OF tn
: old man2" To which ne replied that call h
/. got from him was, that he was going to ga.
what he id pleased"
General Houston walked almost unattende'
) to the hall where he was to speak, his friend
, avoiding him from fear Of injury from the ex
cited crowd. On arriving there he was tol
= that It had been closed against him BY the own

crowd to an elevated balcony, commenced hi

luding briefly TO the events which had transpire

Bot what does an ordinance OF secession
amount TOT Before the Federal Constitution
IL amounts 10 nothing, and 10 utterly void. Inc
people Of State or portion OF them may
amuse themselves with declarations on paper
that they are out Of the Union; but such deola'
rations, are entitled to no more respect than
resolves by the inmates of our Lunauc Asylum
that thew are out of the State Of Ohio. 81
The United States Consultation does not pro
hIbIs any portion Of the people Of any State
vhe.ber assembled in a legislative or any othel
capacity, from letting of any surplus sxcitemen
they may be troubled with, BY resolving them
selves out Of the Union, or doing any othe
equally foolish and inconsistent thing. All thiI
may be legitimate amusement, and part and par
Gel Of that 'large liberty" which is guarantees
to all American citizens. Such acts may seen
to imply that the Federal Government has no
acted in good faith toward the complaining par
ties; but the Government does not prosecute 10
either written or verbal sander of itself. IL
acts are sabmitted to the final Judgment OF To-
whole American people, and from their decision
there is no appeal.
But however innocent and harmless an ordi
nance Of secession may be per se, and as revo
luton on paper merely, yet when citizens actin
under the delusive notion that 1t has the fore
and validity of paramount law, seize the publ
property of the United States and resist the exc
cution of the Federal laws, they become rebel
and traitors to the Government to which thei
primary allegiance is due, and must be deal
with accordingly. They have then violated tina
which is established and acknowledged by th'
sovereign people Of this country as the supreme
Law Of the land. They may attempt to justif!
their rebellion by gasconsding about vindicatip(
the right Of self-government; but they aim

It has been said that the loyal citizens of tn

Is, against the theory that a State has the rfgh
to eecede This, we take IL, Is, as to the mas
OF the people, a mistake. They care little wha
theories politicians or political philosophers ma

What Occasional" Thinks.


The Washington correspondent Of Forney's
Press, in his letter of May q says: +.
/ think It will appear that the British Gov.
eminent will take advantage Of every opportu.
nifty to throw obstacles in the way Of our Cow
ernment, in order to belp the Southern Dis
unIonists. Lord John Russell seems TO have
adopted cotton for bis rule Of action instead Of
conscience, and, TO please the commercial and
manufacturing interests of the British realm,
will, / fear, proceed to any lengths to compel o
dishonorahle settlement of our internal troubles,
or TO throw the prestige Of his position In favor
Of the Southern rebels. He, and those In whose
name be speaks, will undoubtedly be presently
advised, as have frequently predicted In this

On this point the Administration and the 10y.

find such an uprising on our shores as will be

CRoP AND FauIT PaoaPfors.-We. have made
inquiry Of farmers from different parts Of the
county, from which we learn that the prospect
is fair for good crop Of wheat, although not
large crop. The bottom lands and river and
creek bills win do well, but on the upland fats
the wheat is poor. We believe the usual
breadth Of land WILDE plsnted in corn, although
. good deal is yet Implanted, on account Of too
much rain. There has been too much vet
weather also for oats. The prospect for grass
is fret rate, the epring having been favorable
for it--as also for potatoes. Although In places
the fruit was injured, yet, take the county over,
the prospect IL txcellent fora bounteous yield.
