A Governmeht that Rests Upon. the Com
tAseht- OF the Goyerned. 81 q


A few months since the Gazette denounced
as IRRESPONSIBLE an article in the Enquirer,
which set o1tswith the proposition enunei-'
ated in the Declaration Of American Inde-
pendence, that governments derive their
JUS, power. from the consent of the govern
ed.a I'VE believe It called for our suppress
sion on thnt account. Our object in reViving
this reminiscence is to invite the Gazstts's
attention to the following extract from the
pen of the ,ablest Republican editor in the
United States, Horace Greeley, of the New
York Tribune. In late number Of that pa
per-which the Gazette follows as its file
leader-its says, in reply to Thurlow Weed:
Ifthe Cotton States shall become satisfied
that they can do better out of the Union
than in it, we insist on letting them go in
peace. - - -EaEs ti.-.f 80.
Il reiterated every word OF this, as I have
often reiterated it, with regard to the Pacif-
ic States and Territories. Let them present
themselves at Washington next winter
next year-apy time-saying: we have
deliberately arrived at the conclusion that we
can. do better In Confederacy of our own
than by remaining in the Union and my
response to them shall be, Hayward sisters,
depart in peacep For l am one Of those
old-fashioned persons who cherish princi-
pies despite their obvious Inconvenience;
and one of my principles is that so clearly
enunciated by Jefferson in our INN ortal
Declaration of independence: Governments
derive their just power from the consent of
the governed
We should like to know whsther the Ga
zeHe considers that reasonable language
and whether it thinks the Administration
ought to suppress the Tribune for uttering
it? Can it find any Democratic paper that
has come out more fat-footed for separation?
The Gazette can fnd the above extract in
the Tribune Of the 18th or 18th of March.

is this: AFTER the death ofCsesar, the con
spirators, who had secured his death, march

eating that the tyrant had lost his power

THE INFAMOUS INDEMEITY OR NO HABEAs
CoRPUs AoT.-The New York Express in
an article upon the late revolution at Wash
ington and the making Of the President a
dictator, says:
What aggravates this is, that the ha5eas
corpus, or Indemnity Act, as it Is called, was
juggled through the Senate this morning at
Eve A. M, Mr.. Poneroy in the chair, de-
claring it carried. when Democratic Senators
were speaking upon it. The outrage Is one
ofthose revolutionary acts which ever fol-
low such assumptions of power. The act,
therefore, is not even an act as history now
stands, at the hour we write this, for it is
declared Carried in the Senate, without
being carried. and, therefore, it has not even
the form Of law ..- .rcr.r s-..
Thus it is that law is declared carried
which has never passed. H. - sl &

What Does This Mean!-Thc Desig ms o
France.

The London correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Enquirer (Republican) of the 18th
inst, writes as follows: s-.
The French are just now building an i'm
mense feet of steam transports large, strong
and powerful, each one capable of carrying
a thousand men, with horses and artillery.
Forty of these are completed, and there are
to be enough to carry an army of $4,000,
with all its stores and material. Now, the
question is, what can be the destination of
this large, costly and powerful feet of trans
ports? They are not for continental warfare.
In Europe they can be of use in transporting
troops only to Italy or to England. They
mean invasion somewhere. By means Of
them force of fifty thousand m en- could be
landed any day in England or Ireland, and
in ten or twelve days in the United States
1t may be doubted if any country ever had
SO formidable amesns for aggressive warfare
This is a matter worth the attention of
the American Minister at the French Court.

HEAVY CONSERVATIVE GAINS ON THE
POPULAR VoTE.-The local town and coun-
ty elections are not usually of much impor-
lance, but those which have taken place
throughout this State within the last two
weeks are really so remarkable as to invite
special notice and comment: 1t seems that
from all parts of the State comes the one
story-the Democratic mayors, councilmen
and supervisors are, with here and there an
exception, ELECTED by Overwhelming ajori-
ties. Even Western New York, the hot
bed of extreme Republicanism in the EN-
pire State; seesns to have realized the error
of its ways, and il almost as sound on the
great issues of the day. as New York city it.
SELF From the evidence afforded by these
local Iections we feel justified inestimatipg
that, were a State or general election to be-
held to-day, the Democrats could easily
carry New York BY one hundred thousand

The-Revolutien complete.


The New Y ork Express reviews the do
ings of the late Congress, and most truth
fully says:
Congress has now enacted three acts, which
utterly subvert the whole form and frame of
this Government.
LIST. In the delegation to the President at
will to suspend the writ of habeas corpus in
States not in rebellion, nor invaded.
2. The Conscription Act, which puts under
man, and to put him under any command,
out of the State he lives in. 49, SEQ WIGS
Sd. The Bank and Loan Bill, which gives
him supreme command over millions and
millions of money.
These acts are revolutionary, and all ut
terly subvert the whole frame and form of
our Government. No man hasany political
rights or liberties under them, nor any Sc
curity for anything. The REPUBLIC
CEASES TO XIST, AND IN ITS STEAD
IS SUBSTITUTED A CENTRALIZED
.DESPOTISM, the head of which is in
Washington.
What aggravates this, is, that the habeas
corpus, or ndemnity Act, as tits called, was
iuggled through the Senate this morning, at
5 a. M, Mr.. Pomeroy in the Chair, declar-
ing it carried, when the Democratic mem
bers were speaking upon'it. The outrage is
one of those revolutionary acts, which ever
follow such assum ption of power. The act,
therefore, is not even an act, as history now
stands, at the hour we write this, for it is
declared "carried ;" in the Senate, without
being carried, and, therefore, it has not even
the form of law

Ere his star fades quite away,
Him who drunk with thy caresscss,
Madly flung world away
Should the base and plebian rabble
Dare assail my fame at Rome,
Where the noble spouse, Octavia.
Weeps within her widowed home;
Seek her, say the Gods have told me,
Affairs, augure, circling wings,
That her blood with mine commingleS,
Yet shall mount the throne of kings.
And for thee, star.eyed Egyptian!
Glorious Sorceress Of the Nile.

With the splendors of thy smile.

Let his brow the laurel twine;

Triumphing in love like thine

Hark the insulting foeman's cry;
