Ministry in England, had been accepted by
the Queen. On Friday evening, the Goth
June. Earl Russell in the House of Lords
and Mr.. Gladstone in the Commons stated
that they had that day had an interview
with her Majesty, and had pointed out to
her that resignation was, under the circum-
stances, inevitable. She had consequently
accepted their designations, and they hold
Office only until the appointment of their
successors. To afford time for the forma-
ton of q. new Administration both Houses
adjourned for two days. There was great
excitement outside the Houses of Parlia-
ment on the evening in question, and politl-
cal agitation was beginning to run high IN
different parts of England on the question
of Reform. 1t is believed that Tory Gov
ernment will be unable to carry on the Gov
ernment and that there must be eventually
a dissolution.
There had been a serious military revolt

The European War.

Three days later European news, than
that published on eur outside, has been re-
ceived. A great battle has been fought at
Custozza between the Italians and Austri-
ans in which the Italians under victor E
manuel were repulsed, with loss of TWO
thousand prisoners The Austrian loss in
prisoners was six hundred. At latest dates
the Italians had recrossed the Mincio, but
that they were undaunted and ready for the
fray The Austrian army greatly outnum-
berd the Italian corps that was repulsed.
The Austrians are invading Lousbardy,
while Gen. Garibaldi is invading Tyrol.
The Prussians are still successful. Their
main army is advancing into Bohemia, and
Hesse- Cassel is to be annexed to Prussia
The Hanoverian army is ready to capitulate,
and nearly all the Northern States of Ger
many have withdrawn from the Confedera-
ton. and accept the Prussian plan of Fed

Opinions of the Press.
,om the n. Y. World, Democratic


The Democratic Senators and Represen-
tatives who have signed the address IA
voring the Union Convention are OBJ
viously acting not in their character of
Congressman, not even in their charac-
ter of Democrats, but In the character of
of simple citizens. As citizens, they have
perfect right TO favor or participate
in any political movement they choose but
having been delegated with no authority for
that purpose, they neither represent (nor
bindl anybody but themselves.
The probable purpose of the Philadel-
phia Convention is to form new political
party. The political views expressed both In
the cali and the address are such as.no true
Union man can take exception TO and the
question whether a new party is the fittest
means, or desirable adjunct TO other means,
for giving them effect, is a fair topic of dis
cussion. Even if, after full discussion and
consideration, it should be decided in the
affirmative, that affirmative decision does
not dissolve the Democratic party The
Philadelpf Convention, most obviously.
will have commission to do anything Of
the kind. Whatever may be its success. it
is not called by the Democratic party, has
no authority to speak for the Democratic
party; it cannot in any way bind or restrain
oHo Iiee dctiou ol tue DemocTatlc party, eX-

cherished all the aims proposed by the lead
ers of the new movement; and up to the
present moment has been the chief hope of
the country. 1t is not supposabe case
that this honored organizations can be aban-
doned

From Mexico.

Late arrivals from Mexico announce that
the Liberals had captured Tampico and
Santiago-that Maximilian's troops have
lately met with number of severe defeats
that the desertions from the Imperial to
the Liberal army are frequent-that the
Mexicans are becoming more and more
nuited in the course of independenoe-and
that the idea of annexation to the United
States is widely fostered in the Liberal ranks.

ton was becoming mere precarious every

Democrats and the Constitution.

DSmQCIasS aIU Tie O0USLlEutluAs
The opponents of the Union party never
tire of changing US with violating the Con-
stitution in not admitting, at once, and
without guarantees. the late Rebel eommu-
mites to power in the Union as States.
But it is well to bear in mind, that our
Democratic census are quite ignorant of the
true scope and bearing of the Constitution.
This was shown very satisfactorily at the
commencement of Rebellion These men
then maintained, quite as vehemently as
they do now, that the Constitution was be-
ing violated by the Union party. They
maintained that we had no right, under the
Constitution TO coerce State and hence,
that We could do nothing but sit still with
folded arms and see the Government over
thrown This was the Democratic idea Of
the Constituticn-an idea that made our
| Union rope of sand and our Government
but the sport of an hour Had we adopt
ed this Democratic Interpretation OF the
Constitution, our country would have been
disrupted and lost. Republican govern
ment would have been overthrown on this
continent, and great slave empire erected
upon its ruins.
1t is manifest that the Democratic
leaders failed utterly to comprehend the
spirit of that noble instrument, the Consti-
tuition. The spirit of the Constitution is
that of human Gberty-of political freedom
of equal rights. 1t is impossible for a
sham Democrat to understand such an in
strument. His idea is that of a totally DIFF
terent order of things. He fails to under
stand the simplest elements of the Constitu-
ton. He goes TO its Interpretation with
blind eyes and beclouded judgment To
his view, the Constitution ought to be an
instrument of aristocracy and inequality.
He expects to find slavery fortified in all its
provisions What can such man $ inter
pretation be worth?
Throughout the war, all our national ef-
forts were unconstitutional in the opinion
of these men. The suspension of the writ
of habeas corpus was unconstitutional; the
suppression of Rebelnewspapers was uncon-
stitutional the aarest of Rebel spies was un-
constitutional; the freeing of the slaves was
unconstitutional; the enlistment of black
soldierswas unconstitutional the draft was
unconstitutional; the greenbacks were un-
constitutional in short, everything the
nation did to save itself from destruction was
unconstitutional OF course. these men now
think it is unconstitutional to keep Rebels
out of Congress.
But the question arises, What are their
opinions Of the Constitution worth? They
do not understand the instrument, as we
have clearly seen throughout the whole war
They do not comprehend its spirit. They
do not see the scope of its various parts
Had we followed their vagaries we should
have ruined the country. Secession and trea-
son would have triumphed. The black
banner OF slave confederacy would have
supplanted our glorious Stars and Stripes,
and our brilliant and once promising nation
al history would have gone out in the night
of revolution. From such interpretations
of the Constitution, Good Lord, deliver
US !"

"A Good OneDinr" "

Berks county is proverbial for its unadul-
terated Democracy. A strict adherence to
the tenets Of that party is not bad stock
in trade generally, and, it would seem, is to
be regarded as an important element to sue
cess in business. 4 late number of the
Reading Gazette, for example, contains an
advertisement In which it is announced that
the citizens of kutzrown stand in need of
a doctor, and that to one of Democratic
political sentiments good opening is offer
ed - The most eminent and worthy disci-
pie of Esculapius, we presume, ''need not
apply" if his political sentiments are
not of the stripe indicated. Nothing short
of Democrat will answer their purpose.
Democratic salts will alone move their bow
els-Democratic ipecac only will cause them
to oheave-Democratic sudorifcs will be re-
quired TO sweat 'em-and Democratic seda-
tives to calm their nerves and insure them
sound slumbers We hope some Demo
cratic physician will at once come to the
relief of the suffering Kutztowners, well
supplied with the proper political senti-
ments, pills, emetics, and such other med
icdmenta as they undoubtedly REQUIRE.

The FOURTH IN PHILADELPHIA The
celebration of the National Anniversary in
Philadelphia, was attended with the most
impressive ceremonies, and witnessed by
many thousands of people from all parts of
the State. The occasion was the transfer of
the flags of the Pennsylvania regiments
from the military to the State authorities.
Among the prominent personages present
We note Gen. Hancock, Gen Meade and
staff, Gen. Geary, Gov. Curtin and staff,
and Others both military and civic Gen.
Geary was cheered wherever he made his
appearance, as also was Gov Curtin. Up
on the whole this was the most grand and
interesting display ever witnessed in the
State, and will long be remembered by all
who participated therein.

had been appointed rs fraternal mes
sengers from the General Conference in

communication from Rev. ii. N. McTycire,
Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South, transmitting a copy of the proceed
ings of the General Conference of that
church held in New Orleans, which was
referred to committee of five. The APP
pointmcnt was deferred to await consulta-

ter announces the appointment of COM
mission, consisting of Bishops Pierce and

DR.. Lee, of Virginia; Rev. J. L. Evans, OF
| Georgia; n. Head, of Virginia, and ). Re-
gister, of Maryland, to meet and confer with
similar commission, should one be ap-
pointed by this General Conference, upon
the terms of union of the churches, if il

ducing lay representation into that church
