-Adoertiser, of this morning, publishes
the preamble and resolutions adopted
by the Montgomery Council of the
Union Loyal League, denouncing the
new Constitution, and calling on the
colored leaguers to aid in defeating
it, declaring that the delegates to the
Convention went far beyond the pur-
view of their duties and instructions,
and framed q Constitution disfran.
chising and prescribing q portion of
the most intelligent and law-abiding
citizens of Alabama, and character
lied in every feature by fiendish
motive Of revenge and hatred, and
resolved, first, that in the opinion of
this Council, the said Constitution is
an Infamous fraud upon the rights of
the people of this State, and will, if
ratified, inevitably result in the de-
barrment of the white race, and the
destruction of the black. That we

cans, and as members of the Mont

embodies principles dangerous to

government. That we denounce as

TELEGRAPH EXTENSION.

The completion of the Cuba cable, now
successfully working, is the initial step
toward connecting, by telegraph COM
munication, every portion of the great
continents whose extremities penetrate
the Arctic and Antarctic oceans. We
have became so accustomed to wonders
in this day that the announcement of a
work of science and art, binding the
Tropics, the Poles and the antipodes in
a dependent system, whose slightest
local sensation flashes nerve-like through
the whole, is received as much as a mat
ter of course as the information that a
railway is whirling trains across the
Alpine walls the engineers of the first
Napoleon pronounced almost impracti-
cable barriers to the legions of France.
The Cuba telegraph company has char
ter from the Spanish government for a
forty years exclusive monopoly. The
United States grants them a monopoly
for twenty years, and pays $4,000 per
annum as subsidy for the government
use of the line. Venezuela has already
contracted for the laying of cable
across the Caribbean sea to connect at
Cuba, and the Argentine Confederation
has in course of fconstruction, et-work
of lines extending from Patagonia to the
Isthmus. The failure of Russia TO assist
in establishing the Behring's Straits line
has caused a suspension of labor on the
American portion, that the purchase of
Walrussia will probably cause to be re-
sumed at an early day. Another Allan
tic cable is also being constructed, and
another season will witness a submarine
competition for international patronage.
OF all the achievements in this marve-
lous age none have been of more practi-
cal utility than the tanned lightning. or

AWAY DOWN IN MAINE.

The returns from Maine will create
another jubilation among the Democ-
racy. The Union party have only 6,032
majority out of a 100000 vote. The
Union majority has fallen off 9,653 votes
in year Great will be the rejoicing.
Will they stop to think that with a
heavy majority in their favor parties
always grow apathetic? VIII they re-
member that 10000 votes was not
brought out and that it is fair to presume
that the great proportion of them are
Union? We like to see these results
when no vital issue is at stake and they
are needed, as they are now. to awaken
the people to the momentous Importance
of the next campaign Every Senator
and Representative in Congress from
Maine, seven in all, is Union. OF her
thirty-one State Senators, every one is
Union, and but thirty-one Democrats to
13S Uuionists in the House, giving a
Union majority of 156 votes on joint
ballot. AS matter of courtesy we can
generously give them, as the dispatches
state, :" a slight gain in representation
1t is not best to be too exclusive.

THE REVOLT In SPAIN.

The Spanish insurgents have been
successful, and revolution may yet
overturn that most ancient and aristo-
cratic government, from one of whose
ports sailed out to the west nearly four
centuries ago the discoverer of America.
Spain. isolated by its peninsular position
and walled in by the Pyrenees, has pre-
served from innovation, while even Tur-
key, Russia and Italy were yielding, its
laws, customs, superstitions and despot-
ism, without infraction or reform. While
all else were changing and becoming
modernized, Spain has been plodding
along in the olden way. as it did before
the advent of the Iron Duke. But now
Liberalism is striking blow at Tyran-
ny with promise of success, and the
mountains of Arragon echo the shouts
afrevolt. Genl Prim is at the head OF
5000 insurgents and in possession OF
Saragossa, the principal city on the
Ebro. This is his second attempt with
in a few years, his former attempt to

crushed out and he seeking safety in
exile. Should the Prim party be sue.
cessful in stirring up a revolution, Buch-
anan may yet live to see Cuba added to
our possessions at less than thirty mill
lions, for the Queens exchequer is in a
sad condition, and Uncle Sam has long
been in love with the Queen of the An
titles, for whose possession he would GO
down after few more millions than he
did for Walrussia. Prim visited this
country during the rebellion, and has a
warm admiration for our institutions
and the American people cannot but
sympathize with him in the attempt to
carry back to Palos the fruits of that
expedition which sailed out four hun
dred years ago, by the grace of Span
ish Queen as Tar ahead OF her day as the
present one is behind this.

by portion of the press seems to have
had no foundation worthy of that impla-
cable enmkty and unyielding opposition
which characterized the campaign, end
ing in the defeat of both the Union
candidates. The head and front of this
offending, aided and abetted by lesser
influences, was the Sacramento Union,
heretofore the staunch answering
organ of the party with a circulation of
$4,000 copies, and the controlling journal
of the coast. 1t is beyond question
that its course was the result of merely
selfish considerations, wholly inexcusa-
BILE, and that have cost it its position
as it cost the party its defeat. Its circula
ton is immensely decreased, and it's loss
ofinhuence in the Union party is not COM
pensated for by any confidence placed in
ii by the Democracy, or the satisfaction
of having adhered to a principle para
mount to the issues of the campaign.
The result at this crisis is mortifying
We could have wished different tidings
from the West, but out of this nettle
danger will spring the flower of safety,
and we are assured that when another
campaign shall give Californians an op-
portunity to vote again, they will re-
deem their State with such glorious
victory for the Union party as has never
before crowned their efforts.

CHAsE,s FORTUNE.

Some newspaper itemizer, a victimi-
zer for the time being, recently stated
that Chief Justice Chase was worth a
fabulous sum of money; we forget the
exact amount, but it was large. There
is not a so-called Democratic paper in
the country that did not reproduce and
comment upon it to show how Radicals
attened at the public crib. We be-
iieyed it falsehood from the first, and
the following extract from private let
ter, written by Mr.. Chase to a gentle
man in Philadelphia, shows not only
that, but that the Chief Justice has not
