MAXIMILIAN L., EMPEROR OF
MEXICO.

Ferdinand Macmillan Joseph, Archduke Of
Austria, whom the Assembly Of Mexican
Notables has just elected Emperor of Mexico,
is the Oldest brother of the reigning Emperor
of Austria. He was born on the 9th Of July,
1892 and is consequently thirty-one years
old. He was married on the 9th of July,
1857, to Maria Charlotte, daughter Of the
King of Belgium, but has no issue from this
marriage. Archduke Macmillan is Vice.
Admiral, and chief commander Of the Austrian
Navy, and is reported to have a thorough
familiarity with everything belonging to the
naval service He has the reputation of being
the most liberal among all the Austrian
princes, and warm supporter Of the conStl'
tuition which his brother is now trying to
develop in Austria.
The candidature of Archduke Macmillan ios
the Mexican throne is not new, for he WA
the first choice both OF Gen. AlmOnte and o.
the French Government. He was SOUNDED
personally by Gen. Almonte and other proml.
nent men of the Monarchcal party; and al.
though no official announcement of bis in
tentioos was made, he may be presumed To
have made no objection to accepting the Of.
fcred throne; otherwise the Assembly of No!a.
bles would have hardly elected him by so largo
O majority. II was also rumOred at the be.
ginning Of the French invasion that negotia.
tons were pending between Austria and
France respecting the Mexican throne, France
asking Austria to consent to cesslon OF Ve-
Meta to the new Kingdom of Italy If the new
throne of Mexico were given to prince Of
the Austrian house. To this intmation Aus.
tia is understood TO have given Hat refusal.
In Madrid the candidature of Archduke Maxi.
milan was anything but popular, and tho
common feeling was that if purpose to con-
yelt Mexico INTO monarchy was entertained,
q Spanish Prince should have been selected for
the honor.
We consider it probable that Archduke Max.
imilian will not show himself altogether OPP
posed to complying with the invitation OF the
Mexicans. Blu. he, and the Emperor OF Aus
tria, will probably first endeayor to obtain from
the European Powers some kind OF guaranty
for the new dynasty. Of course, no European
Government will have the least hesitation IN
recognizing at once the new Mexican Empire.
All of them have fastened to congratulate Louis
Napoleon upon the capture OF Puebla, aud
again upon the capture of the City of Mexico
they will show equal haste to present their
congratuat atoms to the new Mexican Emperor.
whoever he may be.

afTordipg aid and comfort to the Rebels if the
above is really the settled law of the land ?
And ,cho says 1t is mott
In vain we ask this qusstion-thero is no
answer! Snarls and petty cayils are adyen-
tured, but no one steps forward to assert that
the law is not as above set forth by Chief
Justice fancy.
10 but you do not esteem Chief Justices
iniallibler'
Certainly not, and particularly this one.
But what is that to the purposel Unless some
one disputes that the above is the law. what
has the infallibility Of Chief Justices to do with
the matter
But the attempt to darken counsel by con-
founding Law with Politics can deude only
the simple. Courts of competent jurisdiction
determine the law; but they do not control pO-
tical opinions. The Supreme Court, for ex-
ample, decided that the John Adams Seditlon
Law WAS constitutional, and that decision made
it 80 to all Judicial intents and purposes. SO
with its decision affirming the constltutlonaiity
of United States Bank All were bound to
accept those decisions as settled law; but no
man was constrained to believe or to vote, IN
his capacity of citizen and elector, that either
the Bank or the Sedition Law was constitu-
tional. When the Supreme Court decided mat
the Cherokee Indians had rightiul jurisdiction
over their own territory, and that Georgia
could not legally GUST them although large
portion of that territory was within her geo
graphical boundaries, Gen. Jackson had per-
feet right as an individual to hold that judy
ment mistaken and TO vote accordingly ut the
next election but as Chief Magistrate of the
Union, charged with the execution of the laws,
be had no right to do otherwise than execute
the laws as authortatiyely aud conclusively ex-
pounded by the tribunal established BY the Con.
,titution. and he did very wrong in allowing
Georgia TO hang the Indian Tossetts and I'M
prison the missionaries Worcester, &c, in de-
iaDce of the judgment of that tribunal. This
distinction ought BY this time to be under
stood.
-" But you did not respect the bred Scott
decision"
No. nor did all the Court which pronounced
1t. We have said nothing of that decision
that is. of the very remarkable opinions in
which il was announced and sustained. more
inherently disrespectful aud disparaging than
the dissenting opinion Of Judge Curtis of
Boston, read from the bench OF that very
Court. There are things-so Judge fancy
iutima,ed-which white men are not bound TO
respect, and we class these majority opinions
among them. Judge Curtis is our eIemplar
in 50 doing. But neither be nor We ever
maintained that what the Court declared
therein TO DO tho law of the land is not to
be regarded and treated as such by all our
courts.

The True and only Democratic
Party.

We are heart and sole democratic

the democratic name is the party which
best embodies and carries out the popu-
lar inspiration. That party just now is
not the one which is in sympathy with
the wicked instruction formed to des-
troy our ins itutions land which on that
account ought to be called the party of
the dcstructives,) bnt the one which is
earnestly struggling, at the cost of so
much blood and treasure, 10 preserve
wha ever is good and valuable in those
institutions. The Union War party,
therefore, composed of the sincere men
OF every previous party, which does not
keep Its voters at home to divide the
pickings of Office, but sends them in a
stalwart phalanx to the field, to defend
the menaced life of the nation, IS the
true aud only democratic parry. Ii
alone expresses those great popular
truths which lie at the foundation of our
system; it alone, as it appears by the
late cleo ions, possesses the popular con-
fdence or the hearty good will of the
people and 1t alone promises for the
future to bear up that noble inheritance
freedom which we received from our
ancestors, and to apply in all it's justite
and beauty that magnificent theory of
equal human rights which has been he
