adoption Of such an amendment be
submitted to the people of a Terri
tory or military district. They must
become States before they can per-
form any act toward changing o,

The bubble that they are in the
Union, but not in condition to send
Representatives, when as States
they are performing every obligation
imposed, including the payment Of
taxes, but out Of the Union as to
all the benefits to be derived from it
| is too shallow to deceive the readers
of the Republican even, and We
doubt whether, it is believed by its
editor, though advocated.
Will the Republican ans wer US,
whether the late Southern States,
now military districts, are State s?
And if they are out Of the Union,
tell US when, and how they got out:
If they are out Of the Union, no
proposition is palmer than that they
wen out Of themselves, unless Com
gress has assisted them to get out.
If they are in the Union still. then
when Congress receives all the men,
hers from all the States, as the Con-
stitution requires, may it assume to
submit and impose conditions and
Constitutional amendments, not
before. But as this would be
surrender of the entire power of
Mongrelism, by efecting what it
pretended to fight for, "a restoration
Of the Union; Mougrels of every
shade are driven to the position that
the Southern States are in the
Union to be taxed, and to have
'swarms of officers sent thither to
harrass them and eat out their sub
stance;' that they are in the Union
to adopt amendments to the Consti-
tuition affecting alike the interests
Of all the States: but out Of tie Tn

Crop Prospect.

Winter wheat appears to be look
