We publish in another column the earnest
protest of the people Of Augusta, assembled
in their Court House, on the 25th inst,
Court day, against the abominable concur
rent resolution "so-called," proposed as an
amendment to the Constitution. Thus has
spoken the people Of "old Augusta" and
right nobly do they speak. They will have
nothing to do with the, ratification of this
miserable subtcrfuge as an amendment to the
Constitution, involving as it would an entire
loss of their self respect, and, by their own
act. the sanctioning their own degradation and
dishonor
sc We commend these resolutions and pro-
ceedings to our confreres in the South, and
as the citizens Of ''old Augusta, in their
meeting on Thursday last, have done, call
upon our fellow citizens Of Virginia and other
Southern States to hold public meetings and
place the seal of their condemnation on this
ubiquitous radical scheme, and thus show the
people Of the North, many of whom are led
to suppose that we would accept anything to
secure representation, that, though having
suffered severely, and compelled to bear the
burdens of, without enjoying any rights or
privileges in the Union, we are not willing,
by our own acts and deeds, to consign onr-
selves and our posterity to everlasting in
fanny. *|

Though the radicals have made great ex-
ertions to have the Legislatures of the several
Northern States assembled to ratify the late
Constitutional amendment they have thus far
met with but little success. While they sought
70 prevent an expression Of opinion on the
part of the President by passing as they
chose to call it a concurrent resolution
and could, on account Of his silence, declare
that the President was not opposed to this
amendment, there was some hopes of its rat
iieation But the President is on the alert
and is not to be caught by such silly trick.
He finds suitable opportunity in the request
to his Secretary Of State to transmit this pro-
posed amendment to the Governors of the
Several States for ratification, and takes the
occasion to express his opinions in message
to Congress, which we publish elsewhere.
r. He thus spikes the last radical gun more
efectually than he could possibly have done
by veto, which would surely have been over
ridden by the radical majority and thus be
the occasion of another radical victory The
message is concise and well put, and can not
fail to have powerful effect 1t needs no COM
ment at our hands ana We therefore request
its attentive perusal
"A call has been made by the Executive
Committee of the National Union Club of
Washington for National Convention to be
held in Philadelphia, Tuesday, August 18th
next. to take into consideration the state of
the country and aid in its reconstruction on
the constitutional principles They propose
that the delegates shall be chosen by the
electors in each of the States and Territories
from those who favor President Johnson
policy. aud that each Con gressional District
in the States shall send two and each Terri
tory and the District of Columbia two. The
Democrats in Congress, it is said, favor this
convention and will cooperate with this
party for the accomplishment Of the early adj.

The diplomatic rupture between Austria

The diplomatic rupture between Austria
aud Prussia, by the last reports, is thought
to be complete. The Austrian Minister de-
manded his passports and was to leave Berlin
: on the 18th instant The Austrian Minister
of foreign affairs makes a solemn protest
against the proceedings in Holstein, and the
attempts to justify them-dcclines all re-
sponsibility for the observation-disclosures
Russia, by her position taken, with endanger-
ing the former settlement and says nothing
remains for Austria but to defend her honor
and guard her rights" The Emperor of Aus
tria, on the 14th inst, in o speech said 'he
had done everything else and now had to re-
sort to the sword" From this it would seem
that the war is inevitable.
The portentous intelligence is also an
nounced that Garibaldi had reached Como,
tho scene of his former brilliant exploits.
p. In the present condition of affairs in Eu-
rope the sentiments Of Napoleon are not with
out weight We therefore give them below
az expressed in letter on the 18th inst, to
NJ Drouyn de Lhuys. s s
"Had the Conference assembled my Gov
eminent would have declared that France
repudiated all idea of territorial aggrandize-
ment SO long as the European equilibrium
remained undisturbed. France could only
think of an extension of her frontiers in the
event of the map of Europe being altered to
the profit of great Power and of the bord-
ering Provinces expressing by a formal and
free vote their desire for annexation. In the
absence Of these circumstances, the French
Government prefers to any territorial acqul-
sition a good understanding with its neigh
bors, resulting from its respect for their in
dependence and their nationality. Cheers.
We should have desired for the German Con-
federation a position more worthy of its i'm
portance for Prussia, better geographical
boundaries for Austria, the maintenance of
her great position in Europe after the cession
Of Venetia to Italy in exchange for territorial
compensation.
ssThe Conference has failed Will France
be led to draw the sword ? The French Gov
eminent thinks not. Whatever may be the
result Of the war which may break out, no
question affecting us will be resolved without
the assent Of France.
France, therefore, will continue to OBJ
serve an attentive neutrality, confident in her
right and calm in her strength"

tive Court-houses, and pronounce similar
judgment Of condemnation on this mischivous
attempt to undermine the foundations of con-
stitutional liberty.
AS for ourselves, we could not sanction
any such amendment without personal dis
honor and the basest ingrattude and inius-
tice to those Of our fellow citizens who merit
the largest share of our esteem and confidence.
We prefer not to be represented at all in
the national councils rather than to be rep
resented only by those whose past history gives
no assurance that they would be true to their
trusts.
We are determined at all hazards, to main
tain our self respect unimpaired, and there
fore we must withhold our sanction from
measures which necessarily involves sacrifice
of high moral principle
We have been overwhelmed, but we have
not yet been degraded That can be inflicted
only with our own consent, and that consent
never will be given. Our rights may be raw
ished from US by violence but we will never
agree that Virginia shall be placed in the
position Of a political prostitute by giving
consent to her own degradation and dlshonor
