TnE reported declaration Of the
President, that he will studiously en-
force every law passed in spite Of his
veto, must cause the South to look
with more interest, to the Supreme
Court as the only remaining hope of
relief from the crushing oppression
OF despotic rule. The effect of the
military government for the South,
will be to enable the negroes and
their interiors, the southern loyalists,
to organize under military protection
new State governments, celebrating
all the old landmarks of popular lib
erty, and embodying every feature Of
New England despotism and moral
depravity. The governments thus
organized will, under the same mill
tary protection, be put in active ope'
ration, and the South be represented
by the basest wretches that mora
putrifaction ever brought to the sur;
face of revolution.
Such whitening curse ought t
be averted for the sake of liberty aut
humanity; and since one department
Of the government enacted the grea
iniquity, and another is pledged to en-
force it, the only hope is to bring thu
act, by injunction, or some other lie
Igal process, before the Supreme Cour
which can hardly fail to vindicat'
the Constitution and check the caree
Of despotism.

The Boston Post reports lecture
by Hon. James W. Wall, which is an
eloquent appeal to the people to rise
to the Importance of the occasion,
and put down the despotism Of Con-
gress, "peaceably if they can, forcibly
if they must" The appeal comes
too late. The fate of liberty aud
the government was sealed when
New England persuaded the people
of the North to cement, by force, a
Union formed by consent. The light
of secession was inherent in the ma
ture of the Union, and the attempt to
destroy that right necessarily crushed
the entire structure.

Our sales, last week, amounted TO AIS
hogsheads at the following range of prices:

Fair Leaf, 9@l2; Fine Leaf, l3@le;-
Cho.cs Selections, I7@2o; Fancy Manufac-

We had brisk animated market during
the whole week, with no tagging of prices
which were, upon the whole, highest toward
the last. t,S '1
The Louisville 4 Nashville r. r. relaxed
their embargo on shipments to this point
last week, and the result Is seen in our in
creased sales at once.
We note that the Louisville papers make
some boast of the Pickett wa ehouse, feeling
l29 hogshead in one day. Messrs. Poindex.
ter h Co. sold, last Wednesday, 100 hogs.
heads without feeling themselves pressed
though perhaps half of the lot was reported
by the owners, after the sale commenced.
The highest sale of the week, was neat
ly handled yellow wrapper, raised by Mr.. J
f. Hill of this county, and sold by Messrs
Hutchings & Grinter at $50 IS per LOO
pounds.
We noticed at the sales, this week, tn,
faces of many Of our Of Logan count,
friends, whom we had not seen since 1861
These gentlemen brought full consignment
to our sales, and were well pleased to fin,
Ptheir tobacco valued so much higher here
than they had been in Louisville-as the,
realized some two cents per pound more thai
they had anticipated, of course not hogs
head was taken in.
Every planter who has ever shipped +
this market is fully aware that it is essen
TALLY " Planters Market" and II is OWN
mainly to this fact, that it has been able u
recover, at a single bound, its former big
position In the tobacco trade.
Our warehouse-men do not, as in Loui;
vile, deduct 10 from the planter pounds afte
the final weighingto put in:o their own peck
cts nor do they keep two sets of account sals
books-one to settle with the planter, tn
other with the buyer. Nor do planters sc
here, as they can weekly in Louisville, ahog
head of warehouse 'pickings offered for sale
and unblushingly announced as " stealings.
GAINESVILLE, with her honesty and energ
has recovered her trade, and with her pre'
ent tody of warehouse men and buyers, sh
need never fear to lose it.
Our loose tobacco market. is at preser
rather dull, operators having retired frol
the field at present. Common crops may
quoted at 6@7c round, and fair to goods ten
ming crops at s@slc round, delivered
good stemming order, in large hands.
e Oui market opened this week with sale
t at the Tobacco Exchange, on Tuesday,
0 "a hogsheads. The breaks we're very poe
containing large proportion of very inferi
Tugs. The tone was firm, but without buo
ancy. We note decline of 3c on CONNIE
a Tugs, from last week. As this grade
u been selling for two weeks, higher in pr
e portion here, than in any other known OPP
f markets. the decline hardly yet affords fa
margin for shipment to the Sea- board.

THERE is now going the rounds Of

THERE is now going the rounds of
the papers, conversation between
the President and Col. Halpine, in
which the former is reported to have
said, substantially, that southern rep
resentation can do no harm, because
Congress, under its constitutional
right to judge of the election and
qualifications of its members, can ex-
clude rebels and thus force the South
to elect none but loyalists. We did
not expect SO loose an opinion from
man of the Presidents reputed tai
ents and craftsmanship. From the
birth Of the government to the cleo
ton Of Lincoln, the clause referred
10, bore no other practical interpre'
tation than that Congress has the
right to decide upon the legality Of
elections Of its ENTHUSIASTICALLY
age, residence and citizenship. II
the right be pressed beyond this ra
tional and legitimate point, it gives
to majority, in either House, ALSO
Lutte control over the political com
plexion of that body. What would
hsvesbeen thought if whig majority
in the Senate had excluded Andrew
Johson as a Senator from Tennessee
upon the ground that he was a dem
ocrat? There would have been one
outburst of indignation from Maine
to California. And yet, if the remark
imputed to the President was made
by him, he comedies to Congress thu
right to reject member elect because
his religion, or his politics is at wal
with the opinions Of the majority.
The right either exists to this un
limited extent, or it is restricted al
we have indicated. If the Presidcn
is right, MAJ GRITTY of Congress ha
ample power to fix the political char
acter of that body, for an indefinite
period and in spite of the popula
will. IF we are right, Congress j
clothed with a salutary authority t.
see that no member enter that body
who is disqualified by illegal election
returns, want Of citizenship, or tn
violation Of any other condition pre-
scribed by the Constitution and laws
We are always diffident about differ

case is so plain we have no misgiving
