The Occupation OF MatamOras Un.

States Government.

To the U. s. and European Associated Press
WARRINGTON, November 2s.-rhe occupation of
Matamoras by the United states troops If true, was
without any authority or approval from either
General Sheridan or the Government.
Last nighta despatch was received by General
Grant from General Sheridan stating that the latter
had been informed that GenersI sedgwick contem.
plated such movement, and that orders had been
Immediately forwarded by telegraph to arrest IT, as
an unauthorized and unwarranted proceeding.
General Sheridan stated that If the movemen
was made before the telegraphic order reached the
offeeI II command, he should instantly relieve the
latter from duty.
1t is believed that General Sedgwick was induced
to take this course BY the opportunities Of parties
in Matamoras who had compromised themselves BY

eloquence ofSwEEEEY, MEANY, and HAssoN

can be none who sympathize more sincerely
with any effort to free Ireland than we do,
but until some feasible plan is prepared, we
must Tor conscience sake oppose chimeras.
The effort was led by, we believe, honest and

The Catss.PaW Policy.

SOME of the Southern journals, disgusted
with the fanaticism of such extremists as
the New York D1ily NeauS, in calling for the
forcible disruption of Congress, complain that
these desperate and abandoned politicians are
merely trying to make cats pau of the
South. Happy characterization If the
South had only learned this long ago, how
much suffering and loss she might have
avoided! The Rebellion would hardly have
been ventured on at all, had it not been for
the constant urging thereto and egging on OF
the South by this same class OF reckless poll
ticians. They constantly magnifled the fan
cied grievances of the South, declared that
she could not safely nor consistently remain
in the Union, totally falsitled the real senti-
ments of the North, and thus paved the way
for civil war. So long as they could keep the
southern people excited and exasperated,
they counted upon their votes TO keep the
Democratic party in power. Accordingly,
they became more ultra pro-slavery in their
avowed sentiments than the Shareholders
themselves. Deliberately and persistently
talsfying the aims and objects of the Repub-
lican party, they succeeded in keeping the
south in perpetual ferment, and in pushing
her on towards the final catastrophe.
Now that the Rebellion is over and the
South comes out eft pretty much used up in
every respect, these gamesters are at their
old work again. Instead of allowing the
Southern people to quietly settle down and
accept the revolution that has occurred, they
have commenced to harp away again on the
old strain. The South is in danger; she is
denied her just rights; she is oppressed; she
ought not to submit. Hungary and Poland
are held up as glass before her. The real
object sought is to once more get the political
po,cer OF the South into the control of the
Democratic party.
The South will yet learn that her true
friends are the Republicans, simply because
they propose 10 remove all the causes OF es
arrangement and division, and secure the
future unity and peace OF the country, by
harmonizing all its institutions and founding
them upon the one universal principle of equa
and. exact Justice to all. When this is done
there wihl.6s NJ Vecasion of quarrelling, 70 !,
there will be nothing to quarrel about. If the
South would at once adopt this line OF policy,
the healthtul pulses of new life would in
stantly begin to stir in her veins. Confidence
in her future would spring up; emigration
would flow in upon her; capital and industry
would restore her waste places and awaken
her slumbering resources.
The Democratic policy, on the other hand,
will make her the constant cats paw ofamb-
tious and designing men. She will nurture
within her bosom the seeds OF future discord,
and can never be assured of permanent peace.
Her material interests will continue to be
sacrificed to the theories OF fanatics and
schemers, and her future history will be but
the counterpart Of her past.
