The President, taking inspiration from
the outgiving Of the National Union Con.
vention, which has Just closed its sessions in
our city, has issued a proclamation declaring
the blockade Of certain Mexican ports illegal
and, therefore, null and void. While This
action may be the initial step TO reiterstion
Of the principle known as the Monroe Doc.
trine,"it may also lead us into war with
France and Austria, and it is consequently q
most important coup detat.
This principle was fully discussed among
the members Of the Convention, but was moi
publicly acted upon, probably because the
President had determined TO issue the docu
ment alluded to at once, and thus manifestly
declare the adherence Of our Government "a
the principle by practical means.
Ifwar should take place as result Of this
Executive action, II would be very popular
and II our troops are successful, nothing
could be more favorable to the interests oil
the new party. Asa national political meas
ure, II is consequently quite important.
In taking hold Of the decree blockading
the ports OF Matamoras and other cities on
the northern frontier Of Mexico for basis
of complaint, Mr.. johnson has shown al
least readiness to maintain the right Of 0
State to regulate its own system Of govern
ment without the interference OF any foreign
power, and in his proclamation he clearly
defines this position.
II Napoleon III does not deem Mexico Of
any more importance than his supposed-to.
be-coveted provinces du Bas Rim, he will
possibly retreat gracefully from his present
position, accept peace instead Of war, and
place Mr.. johnson and Mr.. Seward in stu
atoms quite as enviable as that held in &C
mastery manner by Count Otto Paul
Gustave Earnest Won Bismarck, in Europe
Perhaps it will take the fiercer phase, but
we suspect that this matter, bursting with
immediate importance to-day, may be very

TIT Springfield Republican, in an article
upon the issues to be presented to the people
in the approaching campaign says:
Another issue not authoritatively made up
but prominently put forward in ATTITUDES "a.
vorable to it, may be stated in this way
Congress did not dare to make the true issue
Just yet, but re-eleet the members and see
II they do not decree that no Southern State
shall return to the Union until it has given
suffrage to the negro. This may be called
the inferential or implied issue, to be used in
the fall elections in the districts where the
people favor equal suffrage. In districts op.
posed to equal suffrage the constitutional
amendment is exclusively the issue. All this
is ptiable but true.

TEXAS RKsTORED-sIGNIFICANT
PUBLIC ACTS.

Immediately upon the adjournment Of the
great National Union Convention, which
concluded Its important sittings on Thursday
last, and gave to the country an earnest
promise Of future peace and prosperity, THE
President, by proclamation, which appeared
oficiallv in the REPUBLICAN on Saturday,
served q polite notice upon MACMILLAN that
his presence as usurper upon the American
continent is no longer required. In other
words, that his attempt to hold that position
by illegal and dishonorable means "~iH be
disallo,ced." Close upon this proclamation
comes another, which appears elsewhere,
electrifying the American heart with the
glad news that Texas, having inaugursted a
loyal civil government, is restored to her
place in the Union, so that now the great
rebellion has ceased and TIE President Is
enabled to declare to the American people,
officially, for the first time, that 'the fnsur'
gecf,on is at an end, and peace, order, tran.
guilty, and cipI authority non erist IN and
throughout THE WHOLE OF THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA
This Is indeed glorious news. Almost at
the same moment that the representatives Of
thirty-six States Of this Union, in Conven-
ton assembled, solemnly declare that this
nation is a reality and must and shall be
preserved, the news flashes through the
cable, from the old to the new continent,
that the Emperor Of France chooses rather
the peace Of his nation and Of Europe than
any attempt al territorial extension and ag.
grandizement Consequent upon this, bust
ness hns started up in England, with an in.
creased demand and advance in the price Of
cotton, as well as reduction in the rate oil
interest, all of which cannot fail to give O
great stimulus TO the prosperity Of the
United States.
Austria, in her present feeble condition
cannot aid MAMMALIAN, and it il an official
fact that France don't want to do so. Co
operative with the settlement Of our owr
internal affairs, SO auspiciously inaugurate,
at Philadelphia, and responded to by thu
people from the St. Croix to the Rio Cyanide
and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, will b,
witnessed THE LIBERATION OF THE REPuBLIt
OF MEXICO. Let us all hope that no fals'
steps mGy be taken in the momentous cor
Germs Of the present crisis.
The President today proclaims peac
Throughout the whole of the United State
Of America" The Prussian Government re
fuses the demand of France for an extension
of her borders. NAPOLEON, instead of de
claring war, surrenders from his position
