Correspondence on Mexican Affairs.
The President communicated to the
House of Representatives on the 23d
INST, the correspondence Of the State
Department concerning the evacuation
Of Mexico by the French military force.
It is very voluminous, too much so for
our space. The conclusion reached is
thus stated by the New York Tribune.
"Franee at length yields without obtain
ing what she has all the tine insisted on as
a condition OF the eyacuion Of Mexico.
No promise has been held out TO her that
the Government Of Macmillan wilt be ae-
kuowledged. Only the assurance, Oft before
given, Is repeated, that the chief principle
If the policy Of the United States is nom
Intervention, and that this principle viii be
adhered to IN the future relations Of the
United States with Mexico.
The correspondence contains some inter-
esting dispatches concerning the intended
enlistment Of Austrians for the army Of
Macmillan. Mr.. Motley is informed that
be csnno. make his protest against any act
Of this kind on the part Of Austrian Gov
eminent too emphatic. He is Instructed 10
represent to Austria that such an act would
be enc Of hostility toward the Mexican Re
public, and that the United States in such a
case could not engage 10 remain neutral
observer"
We trust that this is the beginning
of the end of the French occupation
and Intervention in Mexico

people through disregard and contempt OF
organic law, and the terrible retribution
which awaits al those who seek to secure
their own supremacy BY unchecked, aroi-
trary, and de5potie legislation. So
But there is etanOther and insuperable
objection to this measure becoming law.
The entire machinery Of the polls, and the
persons who may or may not present them
selves to vote, are under the control, unlim-
tied control, Of the Governor for the time
being, and his own special appOintees, the
commissioners. No election can be held IN
any county in the State until the Governor
and the commissioner in and for said county
shall determine under the provisions Of this
bill 10 order an election. When the cleo
tion is fnslly ordered, every man in the
county is declared to be a traitor and dis
qualified 10 exercise The elective franchise
until be shall prove by two competent wit
pe,ses and his own affidavit that he has
been guilty Of none Of the disqualiiying
acts before mentioned, few Of which
constitute an overt act Of treason. Does
he vote then? No, the commissioner may
summon conflicting testimony, and then
to conclude this farce, he may determine by
his own Use dizit who shall and who shsll
net vote? Was there ever, in our
whole eountry's history, SO complete
and inexorsble q means of despotism
proposed by sane men, much less adop-
ted by Legislature pretending to rep
resent the people Of State p "But, Oh,
some may exclaim, Gin the hands Of wise,
honest and patriotic Governor, this viii not
be used to Cypress the people, but to pre-
serve the purity Of the POLLS" Has not that
I very argument been ever u5ed 10 excuse
/ consolidated power, and can It not be
! lruthfully said Of the most unlimited mon
srehyOf our own or former times2 Virtue
in Chief Magistrate, without any laws
would protect the rights Of all, but consli-
buttons were made in order to guard against
the well known weakness Of man, "wheu
clothed with brief authority" and their
violation was ever Considered as 5 just cause
for remonstrance and resistance.
Let the advocates of this measure trem-
bic at the cold blooded scheme, in which
they are led, or into which they have been
led, to deliver the people Of Tennessee,
bound hand and foot, to the tender mereies
of an oppressor. Did we not feel confident
that the Supreme Court will prove our de-
liverance from hasty and unconstitutional
measures, we might look in vain for the
means of defeating the objects Of such leg
islation. The duty Of the people of Tennes-
see, who are the true sourca Of all power in
that State, is concisely but suthoritative'y
set forth in the following extract from the
Constitution Of the State Of Tennessee:
tAHr. /. g SIC. %. That the citizens
have the right, in peaceful manner, 20 as
semble together to instruct their repr sent
atiyes, and to apply to those invested with
the powers of government fr redress OF
grievances or other purposes, by address or
