THE Cincinnati Gazette is struck all in
a heap by the clear, dignifed moderate,
constitutional message of the President.
1t thinks he is more illiberal towards the
South than Congress, and on the question
of the qualifications of members, argues
that in fact that tn S matter belongs to the
States and not to Congress to determine.

THE ENGLISH AND SCOTCH TEXAN EMF
GRANTs.-The Liverpool Journal says:
Until within the last day or two such a
thing as an emigrant ship going to Texas
has rarely if ever been known in Liver
pool but such, however, is the fact, and in
few days there will sail from the Mersey
for Galveston a ship with three hundred
emigrants. About two hundred and forty
of this number will be Scotch agricultural
laborers, and the remainderwill come from
Devonshire. On the arrival of the vessel
at Galveston, the emigrants, after a delay
of few days, will be forwarded into the
interior of Texas, where they will be en-
ployed as agriculturists The ship in
which these emigrants sail takesout large
quantity of agricultural implements, made
purposely for the work they are intended
for. In few weeks another batch of Eng,
fish and Scotch laborers sail from the Mer-
sey for the same destination.

THE citizens of Jefferson county are not
disposed to be satisfied with the act which
transferred them from the Old Dominion
to West Virginia. The Charleston Spirit,
of Jefferson, advises the people of Jefferson
county to pay no taxes to the State of West
Virginia. The heaviest tax payers, it says,
should test the question at once in Judge
Jackson's United States) Court, whether
Jefferson and Berkely counties belong to
Virginia or West Virginia.

SAYS the Radical organ of this city:

1t is time that loyal journals should cease
talking of the importance Of an early rati-
ication of the constitutional amendment
by Johnson's Rebel State Governments.
There is no State Government in the South,
outside of this State to ratify the amend
ment.
A few months ago this same loyal
journal was inditing column articles
urging the Southern States to ratify the
amendment But it has received orders,

A NORTHERN paper says: Charles
Sumner, the apostle of negro freedom,
threatens that we will correct the TEN.
per Of the South, if we have to rule them
by laws as severe as England passed
against the irish Catholics Notwith-
standing the terrible and bloody laws
passed by England against the Catholics
of Ireland, during the reigns of Henry
VIII, Edward VI, and Elizabeth, even
to that of James l., not over sixty Irish
embraced the Protestant religion in all
that long time, so we are tod by the Able
Geoghegan, though Ireland contained
over two millions Of inhabitants. That
is an illustration of tina benefit of cruel
laws. None but madmen or fools ever
attempted to correct temper by cruelty.
And then, is it any of our business what
the temper of the South is? Under our
Constitution we cannot legislate to cor
rect temper. If we could, it would be q
blessed thing to pass an act to correct the
brutal temper of the Radicals in Con
gress The only bad temper shown any.
