Prof BOtta, writing to the Turin 0pin'

out permanency and credit; and what
claim to permanency can the seeded
states have; what credit can they COM
mand, when the very principle Of their or
ganiEation involves their destruction p
Fortunately, the United States were found
ed by men who were somewhat wiser than
Davis, Teombs, and the other leaders Of the
South; the confederation was established
on the broad and permanent bases Of the
unity Of the people, the nation, and the
constitution. But as it appears that the
Southern States do not admit this theory
on national organization, and as they act
in conformity with their dissOlying tenden-
cies, the federal authority has nothing to
do but to try and infuse into the brains Of
the rebels the truth Of that principle, by
means Of powder and lead. 1t Is dire
necessity-oaused, however, entirely by
the action Of the Southern States.

The rebels South, and some Of the British
and Canadian interests, deny the right Of
the United States to blockade Southern

acknowledged our right to blockade the
Southern ports, and commanded the people
to respect it--olaiming at the same time, as
g reservation, that British ships have a
right to enter blOokSded ports at pleasure.

On Friday evening last Superintendent

the photographs Of jeff Davis and ex-Sec-

that he may have them removed. They
have high respect for the ability display
