How easy it would be.-How long would
it take General Sheridan to move fifty or sixty
thousand men rom the Rio Grande into one of
the central States of Mexico, say San Louis Po-
tesi on the line of the Santander river! About
twenty FIVE days, counting that the French might
make him move with ordinary caution. His posi-
ton there would give the world chance to know
the real sentiments of tRe Mexican people. If his
army was received with delight, as it might be,
and if the people should call it an army of liberia
tion we would know how true is that little French
fiction that Maximillian was the choice of the
country. His position there would also threaten
the City of Mexico, and cause concentration of
the whole foreign force. That force would hardly
be amouthful for the hero Of Cedar Greek and
the Five Forks. And the Emperor of France, if
he determined to reinforce it, could not do Sc IN
time to save the city, even if he would be able. in
view of the presence of some iron-clads, to land
another man on Mexican soil So easy wonld be
the game for us in Mexico. SO easy would it be to
vindicate our honor compromised in the Monroe
doctrine.--N. X. Herald. July 18th.

REORGANIZATION ON THE ORIGINAL STATE,
AND UNION BAsIs:-The proclamation of Gov.
Parsons, OF Alabama, is singularly bold and ex-
pnclt presentment of the status quo ante beilum as
basis OF reorganization. Having but just arrived
from washington when he issued this document,
we may reasonably infer that he embodied in it
only such views as he considered in full accord
with the opinions and policy of President John
son. Along with this inference, we are bound to
conclude rom the laa su, re of Gov Parsons that
the Prfzident i, if any thing. more eonfirmrd
aSan ever in his plan of restoring the States IN
volved in the late rebellion without any change
nom their internal situation antecedent to lie
war, except SO lar as the war may have practically
established change. In one particular only is
the situas on conse5ed to be altered, and pre-
existing right pronounced 10 be annulled: that
particular is slavery.
Gov. Parsons .lares that amid all the ruin,
suffering and death resulting from the attempt to
secede, .every political right which the State
possessed under the Federal Constitution is here
to-day, with the single exception relating to
slavery" And again ne says: From and after
this date, the civil and criminal laws of Alabama
| as they stood on the l1th day of January, 1861
except that portion which relates to slaves, are
hereby declared to be IA :ul force and operation ~
At the same lime, referring to the incidental as
sistance OF the military power in sustaining the
cause of law and order. he is careful to observe
"Hencetorward that power will act in aid of and
The Opelousas courier., 1865-08-05

hEuCtiofWaIu bhab power Will ACT In ald OF and
in subordination to the civil authority of the
State"
Governor Parsons evidently regards persistent
military supremacy as incompatible with civil
rehabilitation. With him the maxim of .'cedant
arna tege" IS some hiAg more than classical
scrap for holiday defamation. The reorganiza-
ton of civil government must be premature. a
very unnecessary fiction, an absurd and expen-
sive superauity, wherever the military power is
to rem&sn supreme IN control and in administra-
ton.
The proclamation of Gov. Parsons will be re-
ceived at the North as the la@ t, and perhaps as
tae mcst distinct form in which the issue hr- been
made between the Presidents policy and that of
the Radicals towards the seeding States. The
first policy rests on the theory that the war was
fought to preserve the Union, and not to destroy
S ates, or purposely to impair any original right
of the people of a tate. Holding the Union to
be ndissonble, it must also hold the States to be
indestructible The Radical theory is equally
regardless of the integrity Of the Union and the
existence OF State if one or the other stands in
the way of their impracticable dogmas and AFRO
giant preten:ions. Orleans Bee.
