number Of republicans, in an under
tone were heard to xpress classification.
Fellow ri,izsns-The opposition charge
that this is an abolition war. Well | ad.
init it is on abolition ,car. It was not
such in the start; but the administration
has discovered that they could not subdue
the South else than by making it an aboli.
ton war, and they have done so; aud it
will be continued an abolition war so long
as there is one slave in the South 10 be
made free. Never, never can there be
peace made, nor is peace desirable, until
the last link of slavery is abolished. Loud

OF the throne by the AtchduEo
From the Memrr a. D.flymatlq. e. Ns /.
We are happy 70 be able TO announce
that His Imperial Higbuess the Archduko
Ferdinand MACMILLAN accepts, with tie
consent Of his august brother, the Empe-
ror Of Austria, the crown OF the new Mex
lean Empire.
The nrst overtures made TO the Court
Of Vienna touching the candidature of
the Archduke Macmillan to the throne
Of Mexico dated from the month of Oc-
lober, 1861. The Emperor Francis Jo-
seph then replied, that although appre-
ciating at its Just value the preference
accorded to bis dynasty, he lefthis broth
er sole arbiter to decide when the mo-
ment should come TO take a definite res
olulion. But, as il was important 10
know il, and TO what point, the Court of
Vienna would be willing to realize the
wishes Of the Mexican nation, HIS Apos-
tolic Majesty sent Count Rechberg i'm
mediately after the first confidential
overtures with the Court of the Tuileries,
to the chateau possessed by the Arch
duke Macmillan at Trieste, where His
Imperial II h ie5s habitually reside
The minister OF Foreign Affairs was
instructed TO represent TO the Prince the
high destiny to which the Mexican people
and the personal sympAt hies of Napoleon
Ill would call him on the successful
issue of the French expedition. As we
have said, Count Rechberg was author
lied to declare to bis Imperial Highness
That the Emperor Francis Joseph. Ms
Chief Of the Imperial family, LETT bin
tull and entire liberty 10 take the part
which suited him best
The Archduke Ferdinand Macmillan
was strongly moved TO find that at the
moment when he had built the retreat OF
Mlsamor, in order to remain henceforth
stranger TO politics, the Emperor of the
French should have indicated him to the
choice of the Mexican people to fulfil SO
great and elevated a mission as she paci-
hcatlon and regeneration Of the ancient
empire Of Mont,zuma. .r....r
But at the same time, the Archduke
made the acceptance of this mission, be-
set with 30 many difficulties, dependent
on certain conditions, which, to be wei
Understood and estimated, merit ulterIoI
explanation.
We shall at present conhne ourselves L
stating that the essential condition, VIZ
that the re- establishment of the mon
archy in Mexico, as well as the election
of the Prince as future Sovereign, shall
emanate from the spontaneous movemen
Of the country" has already been &C
complished.
Yes! We see il. .~
Now, Archduke Macmillan, just taxi
our advice and quit that nonsense. You'll
De hurt as sure as you attempt to pacifi
cate and regeneratc anything 80 far ava.
from your home as Mexico is. If 20
don't leave, we will send you anotho
