LOUD Calls FOR A DICrAroR.-The

mo power in executive hands can be too
great, no discretion too absolute at such

Let lawyers talk when the world has time
to hear then. Now let the sword do its

mali, and had an opportunity afforded me OF
contrasting the two camps in different re
spects. We have decidedly the best grounds.
the finest looking as-o. and By all odds the
most elective conmissary department. l
never heard as much grumbhpg in my life,
as during The shor time l was at Camp
Harrison. The companies there are com
posed of one bundled men each; to these
companies are allosed forty loaves OF bread,
folty three poundsat meat. and beans. etc,
in proportion. In Camp Morton we have
seventy seven men 10 company. and have
been drawing for my company, from eighty
TO one hundred loayes Of bread, and ely hty
pounds OF meat, with beans, coffee. sugar
apples, ETC., in proportion. There are nc
by independent companies. Our troops are
all armed and will soon be equipped.
Governor Mortoa certainly deserves grea
credit Tor the tire,ss energy with which hs
has managed this whole business; the per
feet working OF the complicated machinery
connected with the army and camp are en-
tirely the result of his labors.

Thomas Jefferson says in letter TO Baron
Humboldt, Vol. VII. p. IS. Jefferson's
Works, The first principle of republican.
ISM Is that the lee myoris parts is the fun
damental law Of every society of individuals
OF equal rights; to consider the will of the
society enounced by the majority OF sin
gle vote, as sacred as il unanimous, is the
first o! all lessons in importance. yet the
last which Is thoroughly learned. This law

OF force. which ends necessarily in military
despotism. This has been tue history of
the French Revolution, aud wish the un-
Outstanding of our Southern brethren may
be sufficiently enlarged and firm to see that
their late depends on its sacred observance ="
Is not this the great question which is now
under the awful arbitrament of the sw ord?
Is il not whether this fundamental principle
OF republicanism, AS announced by its great
apostle, shall stand 10 this country? This
law set aside and disregarded. there remains
no other but that of force This law has
been violated by the South, and now they
have to try force, and the Government is
compelled to meet the issue. The principle
will be established and maintained. there
can be no earthly doubt.

Baltimore, that General Scott had resigned
ard that Lincoln was dead drunk every day.
that General Beauregard was dead and that
John C. Breckenridge had enlisted to serve

ally important and authentic information
from Europe is contained in the mail matter
by the Europa, which lett Liverpool on the
4th. The London Post, the well known
organ of Lord Palmerston, the Premier, of
May the Sd, has leader, in which il is de-
clared that IF the privilege of issuing let
tiers Of narque were one conceded TO the in
surgents (oi the Souh) the whole of the
commerce between Europe and America
would be placed in position of imminent
peril and danger.
"There can be no doubt that the Presi-
dent, in strict Interpretation of public law.
has tight both to declare blockade of the
Southern ports and 10 treat Southern priva-
teers, when captured, as pirates.
"In contemplation of public law they are
simply rebels: and. as against them. the
policy which Mr.. Lincoln has announced is
no, only valid in itself. but is which
foreign nations are bound to admit and re

THE tutatuatiop3of tie Southern people
is one Of the political paradoxes Of tbe
age. The wild insanity that runs riot 10
their tropical veins, though it threatens
their destruction and that of all around
them yet hides from their view or makes
them reckless of, the terrible end. Warm,
ardent passionate, they have listened to
their press and orators denouncing in terms
of f-unmeasnred bitterness thespeoble of the
North, and painting, on the other band,
the most glowing picture of the great ;
ness aud unstinted prosperity ofa souths
ern Republic, till their hearts have taken
fire and bnru With a fierce, lurid fame
that must, if 1Ot quenched, eonsune aot
only their own civil liberties, but the peace
