The following preamble and resolutions
were introduced simultaneously in the Sen
ate and House of Representatives yesterday,
Mr.. WADE presenting them in the Senate
and Mr.. ScuESCK in the House. They were
referred to the respective Committees on
Foreign Rotations and Affairs:
Whereas in u letter of instructions dated
July sd, 1862, directed to Gen. Forcy, com
manding the French forces in Mexico, the
Emperor of the French indicated his policy
concerning the affairs Of this continent by
declaring That 1t was his intention to
establish monarchy in Mexico, (which
would restore to the Latin race ON this side
of the Atlantic all its strength and prestige,
guarantee security to the French West India
colonies, and those Of Spain; and secure the
interests and establish the influence of France
in the centre Of America, and prevent the
people of the United States from taking pos
session of the Gulf of Mexico, from which
they would command the Antilles and South
America, and so become the only dispensers
of the products of the New World"
land whereas in pursuance of said policy
an attempt has been made to establish a
monarchy in Mexico, contrary to the wishe;
of the people, and to support Ma:umilian in
his usurpations by European soldieTy;
And whereas among other acts contrary to
the spirit of the age and humanity, the So
called Emperor of Mexico by a decree and
regulation dated September 5, 1865, practi'
cally re-establishes slavery in his dominions
and by decree dated October 3, 1865, ha'
violated the usages Of civilized warfare, by
denying to the Mexican Republican troops
the rights of bellgerents, and ordering theiI
execution wherever found, within twenty
four hours after capture
BE IL therefore rGsoiuea By the Senate G10
House of Representatives Of tie United State
ia Congress aSSsmbled-
/. That we contemplate the present condi'
tion of afTairs in the Republic OF Mexico
with the most profound solicitude.
2. That the attempt to subject one oil the
republican Governments of this continent BY
foreign Power, and to establish on its ruiz
a monarchy sustained solely by European
bayonets, is opposed to the declared policy
of the United States Government. offensive
to the people, and contrary to the spirit o.
our institutions.
8. That the President Of the United States
be requested to take such steps concerning
this grave matter as will indicate the reeog
nized policy and protect the honor and inter
est Of our Government.

Meeting In Aid OF the Freedman's Aid
Commission.

This great charity, seeking not only the
relief of the present necessities ofthe liberated
slaves, but the amelioration and elevation by
education of loyal but unfortunate people,
holds a public meeting at the Capitol to-
morrow evening. To the readers Of the RE.
PUBLICAN it is simply necessary to mention
the worthiness of the object and the fact that
it is to be addressed by one of the most elo.
quent, as well as patriotic, divines in this OF
any other country-HESRY WARD BEECHER,

sympathy for this sacred mission by large

tive than to state the facts to Congress In his
message, and leave the so.called Southern
representatives knocking at the doors Of the
two houses for admission to seats, to which
they have no legal or just claim.
The President Is his own best interpreter.
He turns the matter over to Congress where
1t belongs, without dictation or pronounced
policy. Nothing is more certain than that
this course meets with general appreciation.
In the late canvass Of Pennsylvania, New
York, New Jersey, and the West, the staple
of the stump was probationary programme
for tho South. II furnished the most strik.
ing periods and points in the powerful ora
tory Of LOGAN and KIIrArRIcK, and every
allusion to a refusal to share Government
with former traitors until the grace Of God
had purged them of their sins, elioited rap,
turous applause.
And Washington paper, old enough al
least to keep truth on its side, dares to say
that the verdict Of the people was for con
trary policy. By Divine decree, man is 9
free agent. lie can choose between vcracity
and falsehood. Some will choose the latter

A PROPOSITION has been laid before the
Governor Of Mississippi for shortening the
river between Cairo and New Orleans. The
protector claims that the distance can be re.
duced from 200 to 900 miles, The current
would be increased one fourth. A part Of
this scheme is to dam up Red river, so as to
throw its waters into the Atchafalaya and
Berwick's Bay, Not to damage the COM
merce of New Orleans an iron lock would be
placed in the dam, so as to let boats into and
out Of the Mississippi through Red river.
