government of rebels and revolutionists
who seek TO overthrow the Constitution
and Government, to destroy the Union
and dismember and wrench from us q
| large section of our country. They have
inaugurated a separate and independent
government within the territory of the
United States, and they are striving by
force of arms to establish and maintain
their independence and to conquer sew
eral States now adhering TO the Union.
And so far as the Government of the I'M
tied States is concerned, SO far ss it
affects the interests or the power of our
Government or the welfare of the people
of the loyal States, this dismemberment
of the Union by force of arms, might as
well be accomplished by q foreign, as by a
domestic foe. Indeed, it might be bet
ter if such national humiliation and
calamity as the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of our
country is to be visited upon us that it
should be accomplished by foreign enc
my rather than by domestic foe of the
character of the traitors of the Confcd-
eracy.
At all events it is clear that in this
State of things, with war of such proper
tions on our hands, involving such i'm
mense evils in the present, and such
dreadful consequences in the future, we
must look to the war powers and not to
the peace powers or policies Of the Con-
stitution for authority to conduct it.
What those powers and policies are We
shall suggest in a subsequent article.

A little more than year ago the coun-
try was astounded by the Inauguration
Of an armed rebellion against the authori-
ty Of the Government involving in its
progress more than one third of the States
OF the Union and seriously disturbing
several other States. II was natural that |
an armed rebellion of such immense pro-
portions, so unlocked for and 30 unprece-
denied in the history of the country, and
never anticipated by the trainers of the
Constitution, should in its astounding in
huence on the public mind elici; diverse
theories as to the constitutional power aud
governmental policy for its suppression.
The late Administration took the posi-
tion that the Government had no authori-
ty to "cocrcs' seeding States, and many
OF the Democratic leaders denounced the
idea of coercion" as unconstitutional
And the present Administration on it's first
accession to power, trammeled by this
wide spread opposition to coercion and
Understanding the extent and Importance
OF the rebellion adopted measures at the
start only, to quel limited and temper
airy insurrection. The progress of events,
however, developed state ofaffairs wide
" different from any ordinary insurrec-
ton known to our history, or contemplate
ed by the provisions of the Constitution.
The insurrection was not confined to
one State, but extended over large sec
ton of the country; it was not partial
and temporary uprising of faction of
the people against the policy of the laws
or the authority of the Executive, but an
organized, systematic and warlike effort,
on the part of many States organized in
to hostile Federal government, at revo-
luton and independence. This reyolu-
tionary government raised armies, seized
the property and Forts Of our Government.
invaded States adhering to the Govern
ment and acknowledging the authority of
the United States, menaced our Capital,
defeated our armies in pitched battles.
commissioned privateers to prey upon our
commerce, and sent ambassadors to seek
aid and alliance with foreign govern
ments.
Under this aspect of affairs, it was no
longer competent for our Government to
treat the rebellion as an ordinary insur-
rection aud to deal with the rebels as
simply traitors. The attitude ofEuropean
governments constrained our Govern
ment to concede TO the rebel Confederacy
the right of war on the Ocean, and the
magnitude and power of the rebellion
eventually required US to concede them
the rights of enemies at war with the Un-
tied States, in the Treatment and exc hange
OF prisoners, and in everything which
tended TO relieve them from the disabili-
ties and punishment due to traitors.
1t Is therefore conceded now on al
hands, practically and theoretically, BY
the Government which is raising immense
armies and leyyiDg heavy taxes. and by
the people who are fighting the battles,
shedding their blood and contributing
their means to carry it on that we are
engaged in war with hostile power. -
We are wsging war against 40 organized

Neither do We attach more importance
to it than many others when We say that

Fort Donelson brought to the Confeder.
ates, have been more than retrieved by
them at the battle of Pittsburgh and the
retreat from Corinth
Let us see now what viii be the result
of the drama fast being enacted before

Take these two brutal acts in connection
with Buffers prostitute order and his i'm
prisonment, with ball and chain, of politi-
cal prisoners at New Orleans, and it will
be the part of wisdom for Northern papers
to shut up about Southern brutality.
We clip the above from many similar
items in the editorial columns Of the Du-
buque Herald. Mahony's indignation
against Gen. Butler is only equalled BY
that expressed by the Lords in the Par
lament of Great Britain, as reported il
the telegraphic dispatches in anothe
column, and the hopeful view of the recen
operations of their armies can only b.
equalled by that of the London Times

Beginning OF Mexican Troubl .

There Is little doubt but that American
affairs are to be complicated by foreign
Intervention in the affairs of Mexico,
even if there is no danger of interference
with this country, of which some imagine
the invasion of Mexico to be cloak and
and an opening. Some men, DULLES by
nature and habits, can not witness quar-
rel without being counted in; they
must have hand in the quarrel, to show
their consequence in regard to other peo-
pies affairs, if not to derive some per-
sonal benefit. And we have ncighbors
across the Atlantic, on the most cordial
terms of amity with this Government 10
time of peace, who may, doubtless do,
desire to find the occasion at this time of
division and strife. to throw the weight
OF their influence, and perchancc their
arms, upon one side Of the controversy,
to manifest their power and secure terri
tory, and control commerce for their own
selfish ends. BY a long course of oppres-
sion at home, and by keeping up powerful
armies and navies, their national treasures
become bankrupt, their people are rest
less under their oppressive burdens, and
their armies and navies are "spoiling" for
service, Foreign conquests and spolia-
ton is the remedy for the evil, and those
magnanimous powers stand with their
Argus eyes turned to the four corners Of
the earth. and wherever they see national
quarrels, they study their opportunities,
they raise questions Of grave national i'm
portance, as for instance. 1.-THE preservs-
ton of the equilibrium OF power" and
they whet their teeth, that under some
specious plea they may satisfy their "a
pacious NAV.
That this is the case as between France
and Mexico, We have no doubt, but
whether France looks beyond. is positively
known only TO the crafty head Of Ma
poleon. Our only safety is in being pre-
pared for any emergency, and we can fully
appreciate the Importance Of pushing the
war to speedy conclusion, Is set forth in
the following extract from the New York
Tribune:

A terrible repulse to the French arms
will probably be made ostsnsibly reason
| for pushing the contest With vigor-
though We do not think any such illip
was necessary, as the destructive decree
had already gone forth. What tremendous
excitement would be produced here by
such an invasion on our frontiers if We
we're at peace, may be we'll imagined
though. Of course, if we had been so, the
invasion would not have taken place.
