FRANCE AT HECHuOND.

That the visit to the Rebel capital Of NJ.
Mercier. Embassador Of Louis Napoleon to the
United States, should be seized upon by the
Secession leaders to impress their fslntlng
dupes with a notion that France is about 10
interpcse in their favor, is very natural.
Truth is not among the virtues they cultivate.
and if NJ. Mercier had visted Richmond OK
pressly to notify the Rebels that they must de-
sl.t from their hopeless struggle and appeal 70
the clemency of the Nation they hao
labored TO destroy, they would doubtless pre-
tend that his mission was one OF sympathy aud
encouragement But here is paragraph from
The Richmond Dispatch Of last Saturday which

mt,ed TO aunounce that negotiations" are Ia
progress is odd; aud Ls assertion that " any

- President OF the Coniederacy," proves rather
the desperation than the hopes of the Rebels.
and is hardly less gratuilous than his deduc-
ton that " this is a perfect acknowledgement
of our independence from the old United
Siotes."

1t is not at all singular that The Richmond
Examiner should, in the same breath. proclaim
our blockade of the Rebel coast "t the merest
"shum in the world" and declare that it de-
prves the Secessionists Of articles so indie
peu.able as arms and ammunition. The simple
fact that Cotton, whereof they have abundance
will ,ell for three or four times the price they
ask for it at neutral ports almost in sight Of
their coast, demoli.hss their refuge OF lies
Tue blockade is eficient--not much 80 as
our officers ought to make it, but far too ef-
icient to be dcfed with impuuity or TO be

AnSirer.--l. We do no. admit that the Peo-
pie OF either State or Territory have any
rigtt 10 sav that one innocent mans snews
aud earniDgs, with his wife and children, snail
be- the property of any other man. The differ
ence between States and Territories is this-a
Territory IL under the jurisdiction and control
Of Congress; while O State-we mean, OF
course, loyal State-is not subject, in its do
nestle legislation and policy, to any such con-
troll In other words: We hold Slavery 10 be
essentially a matter Of force and violence, not
of law and justcej but it is wrong which
the Nation can prevent in the National Terri
tories, not in the loyal States.
2. A Territory has usually very small pop.
ulatiOn, made up of adventurers from the ends
Of the earth, who are there to-day and gone
tomorrow, including many fugityes from older
and more law-abidlng communities; whilo its
churches. seminsrics, schools, newspapers, and
other instruments for the diffusion of inteli.

,. If our State should vote that ns should
be slaves. We should certainly endeavor to
eysds the operation of that vote. And, rs we
should 80 act, we could not blame my one else
for doing the very same. We understand by
rebellion forcible and bloody resistance to the
operation Of laws deemed unauthorized and un-
just; and this is a resort which We cannot ap-
