IFr0m the warrington Republioan.l

Gen. Ashley's territorial bill was tabled,
as readers Of congressional viii recoIlect, By
a majority Of ten. The 6fty Eve votes
against tabling it were all thrown by Repub
lieans.
II Gen. Ashley's bill had been introduced
a month earlier, it would have met with
less favor. A month hence, the main prih-
ciplsS of the bill viii perhaps command gen
eral favor. The change that Is going on in
that respect results from the new views
which are being forced by events of the
deep seated and apparently implBcable char
acter OF the rebellion. As we penetrate Sc.
cessna, we hnd less Unionism and more hostil-
ity than was expected, and men are beginning
TO doubt If it ie quite cafe to establish the
rule, as fixed and constitutional one, that
States which have left the Union, and made
war upon it, can claim to come back into It
at any time, as matter of right and with
cut terms. It is seen that such an eXslta-
ton of State sovereignty as this may enure
to the benefit in some instances, OF unre-
pentslt traitors, and to the ruin of loyal
minOrities. The truth is, there is no con
stitutiOnal rule for our government in a case
like the present. which was not and could
moi have been anticipated by the trainers Of
our political system. We have only to do
what is expedient to be done, In the strange
predicsment of circumstances in which We
fad ourselves etf
Let US take, for example, the instance Of
Texas, which wss admitted into the Union
as a matter Of bargain, with all the terms
set down in a proposition made by rs and
scceded to by her. She has now violated
that bargain at all points, and it is most e4-
traordinary il she can hold rs TO Ct, and If
we cannot insist upon such changes as may
secure our safety against, new outbreaks Of
treachery il the same quarter. Il We can find
such security in the differences of character
in the population of the different sections Of
that Stste, and five think it best to avail our.
selves Of it by lin some form detaehing
Western from Eastern Texas the county
will be slow to believe in any fanciful con-
stitutional principles which can DO control,
In an extra-constitutional emergency, as to
disable the nation from taking precautions
for its existence and safety.

Resurrecrion.

1t seems that a subscription paper Of
some kind is being passed around stWash-
Eton for the signatures Of those who are
willing to give something, II only their

parted this life, We should conclude that,
