20 feet in the bluff, whilst the distance

WILL 1T TAKE.

Many of the Northern Democratic papers,
as also respectable class of persons at the
South, since the recent elections, have come
out in favor of negro suffrage. This, it is
considered, is all that is necessary to ap-
pease the Radicals, insure representation,
and propel the South forward, upon course
ofprosperity hitherto uuapproacbed and un-
approachable. 1t is even intimated in our
late dispatches, that President johnson
lends willing ear to these proposals, and
quietly favors such basis of settlement
between the sections. We fail to see the
utility of such course Where are the
guarantees that our rights would be respect
ed-our delegates received in Congress, or
our prosperity advanced one whit by such
course?
The South may as we'll, nay with far more
reason, ask for guarantees for her future
treatment in the Union, than the North fol
our future behavior. There has been nc
faith broken on our part, no pledge forgot
ten, nor promises unfulflled.

invite their comrades, the loyal veterans of
the republic, with all other friends of the
great cause of Union and liberty, to meet
in national mass welcome and council,
to be held in this, the Federal capitol, on
Saturday, December the let, proximo.
We ask your presence to honor and as.
sure protection to the loyal majority in the
thirtY-ninth Congress in whom We recog-
nize faithful guardians of our assailed insti-
tutions and able supporters of the principles
involved.
Come in your might. By your presence,
show how sternly loyalty can rebuke trea'
son. Prove thereby that the threats and
insults of treacherous Executive against
the legislative branch of the Government
cannot intimidate free people. Here in
the Federal capital must our great struggle
culminate in wise and equitable legislation.
Here, then, should We assemble to encour-
age and strengthen CongresS-to whose
hands the Constitution wisely entrusts the
power-to such just action as will make
peace permanent and liberty universal.

THE LEGISLATURE.

The regular session of the Legislature
will begin Oh Monday, the 26th inst. There
will be heavy amount of work before the
members, and the following subjects may
be named as likely to receive especial at
tention.
The repeal of the Usury Laws of the
State.
The relief of debtors upon contracts
made previous to, and during the war,
and in connection with this, relief ne.
cessary to be extended to the Banks of
the State, from liabilities under their char
ters.
Amending the criminal Law Of the
State.
Modifying the organization of the Dis
trict Courts, and establishing upon less
expensive scale.
Ascertaiuiug and providing for supplying
the deficiency in the grain crop, based upon
the reports of members from each District.
The Amendment to the Constitution of
the United States, as proposed iu the last
Congress, and referred to the several States
-..;e.,.;on Tb;s lcftor or hiaof mi M
doubt soon be disposed Of.
In addition to these subjects, there are
various matters of internal Improvements
deeply affecting local interests, that are
likely to receive attention. Altogether the
work chalked out for this body in advance,
is unusually heavy, and if nothing else
comes up, will no doubt engage the time Of
both Houses, until the close of the session

restricted suffrage, coupled with property
qualifications and intelligence, and proba'

there is a vein ofrepugnance in the Southern
temperament that will never permit it to
yield to any such dictation. Crushed and
beaten in her physical strength, she bow.
ed to what she could not avert; ; but no force
should ever deprive her Of her moral great
ness, and the right to think and act for
herself.
There is strong gathering of adverse
elements to thrust this measure upon u.s.
Firmness, patience and unity, will be re-
quired to combat such delusion. All that
we possess of these noble qualities, will no
doubt soon be demanded of Us, in resisting
this new dogma.

AFFAIRS AT WASHINGTON.

The National lntelligencer sees cause fol
alarm in the call for an assemblage of the
volunteer-sodier organizations from the
Northern States, at Washington, on the Isl
of December. That paper believes that the
call is part of a scheme of Radical Con.
gressmen, to gather strong military force
in Washington, to aid them in any contest
that may arise between Congress and the
President. The htelhgencer says:
owe are panied and shocked to announce
from many sources of reliable information
that the above call looks to the establish
ment here en- permanence of an organized
force to be subject to the orders Of Con
gress."
While we still indulge the hope, that 8
causeess alarm has been excited, there il
much in this call that is difficult of any 9th
er explanation, than that it is intended fol
revolutionary purposes.
The quiet state of the Northern mind
since the recent elections, was construed a!
an indication, that satisfied with the tri
umphs at the ballot box, all revolutionary
threats would be discarded, and the govern
meut be permitted season of peace ane
rest. We hope these indications pointed
to the result named, and that the victorl
will be content with the spoils already OBJ
tanned.
The following is the card Of the commit
tee, issuing the call for the assemblage:
"Being profoundly impressed with th'
Importance of the struggle through which
the couDtry is passing, and of the necessit.
of preserving the results gained by its tri
umphs in the field, and more recently a

pointed by the Soldiers and Sailors of Wash

THE SOUTH.

The Baltimore Transcript, fearless
advocate of human rights-in a recent is
sue, indulges in touching eulogy upon the
South as it once was. The following para
graphs are so full of the pathos of history
that we cannot refrain from placing them
before our readers. After dwelling upon
tho wealth, intellect, and military grandeur
of the South, the writer says:
If the spectacle of great soul, strug.
Cling heroically with the waves of adversely,
is pleasing to the gods, the spectacle of a
great people, transfxed with the arrows of
misfortune, and bleeding at every pore, yet
uttering no exclamation of anguish or an.
ger, and neither losing faith in Heaven nor
in its own uprightuess, is truly sublime !;
such an exhibition, grand and affecting to
all minds which can appreciate true moral
greatness, the South now presents. If the
prosecutions of their enemies we're not
completely blinded BY party passions, they
would feel more reverence for the South
in its misfortunes thar when, at the summit
of its prosperity, it guided and controlled
the destinies of the great nation. With
communities, as with individuals, it is only
the fires of adversely that reveal the true
character, and prove whether it is made of
gold or dross. To such an ordeal has the
South been subjected, and We assert that
the result has demonstrated that it is an
essentially great people, and will be re-
membered and admired in history as much
for the serene fortitude and noble dignity
with which it has sustained the direst ca
lamities, as for its brilliant craftsmanship
in the period of its power and influence,
and for that magnificent valor in battle
which has extorted the admiring acclama.
tions of the world.
All this glory of the South is past, and
how does the land sit desolate that was once
so radiant with benedcent power! Stripped
of s4,OOO,OOO,OOO of property, bereaved of

the purpose of the South. The people there
will, for the time, abandon politics, and
leave the consequences to themselves, and
the country with their radical prosecutors.
The whole country, and, as a matter of
course, the South with it, will suffer from
this coercion, for there will be no stability
in trade, no substantial order in Govern
ment, until the Union is restored.-N T.

THE CHARLESTON MERCURY.
The Southern people will long remember
this veteran newspaper, which under the
successful management of STEWART, CIAPP,
HEART, TABER and RHETT became part
and parcel of almost every household, and
a truthful exponent of Southern thought
and feeling. 1t will also be remembered
that the fixtures of the Mercury Office while
being removed from Charleston just pre-.
vious to its surrender, fell into the hands
of the enemy, and were destroyed. Since
then its ashes have been silent until Mon
day last, when its publication was resumed
under the care of Col. R. B. Rhett, it's late

sheet will add a new lustre to the press of
the State, and, we trust, prove remumerative

MEXICO.

The "bloodless triumph" of the Monroe
Doctrine in Mexico, is just beginning to be
understood, and the "triumphant" seems to
have turned out rather doubtful one for
this country. France some years ago as
sumed proteotorate over Mexico, in order
to secure the payment of the debt due to
the former, and which, under the State Of
anarchy then prevailing, it was impossible
to secure in any other way. French troops
were sent to support an empire then under
the reign of MACMILLAN, and the plan
seemed to be working satisfactorily until
the close of the war in this country, gave
the American Government an opportunity
to interfere. This Interference has resulted
in the overthrow of MACMILLAN, and the
withdrawal of the French troops, but not
upon the terms We had been led to suppose.
1t now turns out that the United States
has been allowed to assume the Protectorate
abandoned by France, By assuming the
payment Of the latter's claims upon Mezi.
co. NAPOLEON has secured the entire
object of bis interference by this assumption
of French claims, and the triumph of this
country in sending his legions away, is an
empty one, to say the least of it.
General SHERMAN has been sent to
Mexico with an army corps, to reinState the
Juarez Government there, and to secure
certain provinces ceded to this country, as
an indemnifcation for the payment of the
French claims. LOUIS D. CAMPBELL, also
goes as Plenipotentiary, with extraordinary
powers and the two will no doubt make
the best possible use of the bad bargain,
into which this Government has been entrap-
ped, by the shrewd policy of the man at
the Tuilleries.

THE BALTIMORE POLICE.

The Baltimore police difficulty has result.
ed in the triumph of Governor Swami, and
his jurisdiction to try and dismiss the cor.
rupt Commissioners under the law, fully
Vindioated. An exchange says:
"Judge Bartol has rendered decision
in the Baltimore Police Commissioners ha.
Jeas corpus case, in which he sustains the
action of Governor Swami in removing the
old Commissioners and appointing new
ones The two Commissioners were there.
upon discharged from custody and were
loudly applauded by the crowd on entering
their Office. During the day they made a
formal demand for the surrender of the po.
lice stations, and issued orders directing the
police of the city not to obey any orders
emanating from the old Board since two O.
clock Tuesday afternoon. They then mott
fed Mayor Chapman to attend meeting of
the Board, but be did not do so, and no
answer had been received from the old CON-
missoners in regard to the surrender of the
property. The new Commissioners do not
propose to make any removals in the force,
except for the usual causes.
