AN ANS WEIR FROM NEW YORK

~~' Nf@'o w 1Sft FIlO4u NE w YORK,
reports from New York are to the effect
that movement is on foot there to organize
Mexican expedition, and upsetting Juar-
ez, unfurl the American flag on the walls
'of the Montezuma
This is, no doubt, a response to onr recen,
arguments and suggestions concerning what
we should do to restore peace to our neigh
Dor country, but we hasten to call attention
to the fact that our proposition did not at
all contemplate an illegal Walker, Lopez
nllibustering expedition. We want the
Government to proceed in the matter, care
fully, dignfiedly, but resolutely. And tha,

statements Of the Mexican situation as are
made by that calm, thoughtful journal, the
Boston advertiser -
| Ii Macmillan had succeeded in estab.
fishing his throne, Mexico might have had q
stable Government, which il seems homeless
to expect from her native rulers.
The history OF Mexico since she gained
her independence is a police -record OF riots
called revolutions, in which the reyeref
names OF Liberty, Independence and Equal,
| ity are used to mask the selfshness, amb
tons and cruelties of her public men. Mex
leo has been vast Donneybrook Fair
which has been held for half century. ant
mas been wonderfully prolific of bloodshed
and robberies.
In peace, a sluggard in war, a bush
whacker In victory, a bloodthirsty and re
morseless executioner; with superstition fol
rengious creed and anarchy for socia
systematic Mexicans have done nothing
yet which history cares to record among hei
cherished and memorable passages.
No republic that will endure can be es.
tablished in Mexico until these social condi-
tions are entirely changed. The church pro-
perty must be confiscated for the national
use, and homestead law plant the peasant.
ry on the soil, and thereby enable the gov.
eminent to establish common schools, be-
fore the first elements of stability can be
given to popular government in Mexico y
There is no power to restore order in
Juarez, there was not enough in Macmillan.

THE HISTORY OF THE WA,

1HE ALSIORY OF THE WAR.
Col. W.W.H. Davis, of Doylestown, Pa, COM
nlandant of the 104ih Pennsylvania Regiment
during the war, has written its history, giving q
very full record of Its campaigns. The regiment
was recruited almost entirely in Bucks county, in
the early autumn of 1861, and saw its most
dangerous service during the Chicahominy cam
paign of 1862 when it suffered severely at Fair
Oaks. During the following winter it was sent
South and remained until its term of service ex-
pired taking part in the severe operations before
Charleston, whick resulted in the capture of a
portion of the harbor defenses.
Col. Davis has welded the pen of faithful
historian, in writing this record of his regiment.
Its career is traced, step by step, with careful
accuracy, and the details given must furnish a
valuable addition to the historical collections re-
erring to the great Rebellion 1t is carefully kept
clear OF the utterance Of any partizan views, and
though we sometimes detect points where the au.
thor doubtless felt strongly inclined to dip his
pen in the gall bottle, he has in most instances
studiously reffained.
The history of the 104th has been Handsomely
gotten up by Rogers of Philadelphia, and in press
work and binding makes fine appearance. It
has several Illustrations, most of them being DOR
traits

CONGRESS- AND SUE ERAGE

"
In our desire to throw upon the discussion
Of the Constitutional clause respecting the
Republican Form, all the light possible. we
reprint from a recent private letter from a
leading journalist of New York, the follow
ing extracts. 1t will be seen that on the es-
sential points he practically agrees with the
positions taken in our recent article:-
For myself have never-since could
reflect upon the subject-doubted that the
clause in question gives Congress absolute
power TO set the republican model for the
whole United States, but have also never
seen how the highest construction could be
put upon it in practice, in the face of the
history Of the formation of the Union and
Constitution, and the unbroken acauiescence
ofthe people in the republican pretensions of
hiteen slave States down to 1861 and even to
the middle of the war. l am now, like YOUR
sell, in favor of interpreting that law in the
interest OF impartial suffrage, but my agita-
ton would take the shape of an amendment
TO- OF supplementary definition of the clause
i'll the Constitution itself, and should feel
sure that If women were excluded there
would have to be still another amendment.
A. to whether the Slave States have re-
lrograded or not, am still of the opinion
mat they have advanced in spite of them
serves. The very withdrawal of the right Of
suffrage from the free blacks in Tennessee
North Carolina, and elsewhere, shows that
theirs was barren right, which was lost be-
cause they were living under government
hased not on the popular will but on the
convenience and interest and supreme control
o. class which might and often did reduce
them to slavery. But these fifteen oliear.
chies, miscalled republics, and in effect direc.
ing the republican form of government by
which the U. s, is distinguished among ma.
lions, have persisted; in all but three the
Black man votes and will vote forever. These
three are still subject in a measure to the o,i.
garchlcal regime which was the beouest o.
slavery, but they are nearer republic thar
ever because the lowest class is nearer-irre
vocably nearer-to its rights, and we mus
measure advance by the welfare not of tn,
higher nor of an intermediate class. but of tina
lowest. Besides, it is pertinent to obsery
That these states had formerly no element q
deliverancc in themselves, but were con
stantly growing more oligarchic (they coul
not grow less republican,, while now III
whole tendency is towards a genuine reput
lcanism."

COMING 70 THE POINT.

In the House of Representatives. at Wash
ington, on Friday 1900.
On motion Of Mr., Washburne, Ind, the
Judiciary Committee was instructed to in-
quire whether, under the Constitution, Con-
gress has the power to prescribe tho qualifi-
cations of voters in the several States, and,
If deemed expedient, to report bill prescfi-
bling the same. pei ~
In reference to this portion of the pro-
ceedings, special Washington telegram,
says -
The House to-day without enough dissen-
ting votes to call the yeas and nays, ordered
the Judiciary Committee to examine into
the authority of Congress to prevent the
abridgment of suffrage in the States, and to
report bill If deemed expedient. 1t is un-
derstood that the committee stands five to
four upon this question, and that they will
report bill next fall, which will, no doubt,
mass no -H'it

General nutIer's sesoIution.

General Butler made quite an unexpected
sensation In the House, on Monday, by NOV
ing for committee of Ave to examine into
the assassination conspiracy, and to enable
it to grant amnesty to any Of the conspira-
tors who will develop the whole plot Mr..
Wilson, Chairman of the Judiciary Commit
tee, stating that it was necessary to follow
up what they had been doing in his commit
tee, as there was yet much mystery around
the whole affair, carried the Republican
members for it, except Mr.. Bingham, who
voted with the Democrats steadily, land who,
though he did not tilt with Mr.. Butler, kept
moving around and prompting others to aid
and endeavor to defeat the bill. 1t is not
known that Mr.. Butler has any particular
line Of testimony which he can at once call
up, but the supposition of those of his
friends who know most of his movements,
is that he merely intends to probe the whole
thing thoroughly. Under this resolution, he
could release Surratt if he would the whole
tale unfold, and enable government to con-
vict those who are still at large.

WYOMING. July 9Th. 1867

WYOMING, July 9th, 1867.
Messrs. Editors This is certainly one
of the most thriving little towns in central
Delaware. 1t has sprung up as if by magic
within the last three years. 1t Is settled al
most exclusively by emigrants from the
Northern States, who, to use fguratiye ex-
preston, are making -" the wilderness to
blossom as the rose"
The buildings are Of superior order,
many of which would grace the most fash
ionable street in your beautiful and thriving
city.
Located on the Delaware Railroad, its
facilities for doing vast amount of business
are superior to many other towns of larger
growth upon the same road.
1t is only three-quarters of a mile from
Camden and will no doubt in few years
excel that ancient town not only in trade
and manufactures but in population. The
rapid growth of Wyoming is in great meas
ure attributed to the never-tiring persever-
ance and enterprise of Rev. Mr.. Davis and
Hon. C.P. RamsdelL The former although a
minister of the gospel is never ceasing in his
efforts to develop the Industry and business
of the place. The latter is a real estate agent.
and is doing much towards settling the coun-
try with hardy pioneers from the North, and
finding comfortable homes for emigrants in
this, the garden spot of Central Delaware.
The dry goods and grocery store of John
I. Jakes is second to none in Delaware, in
the variety of its merchandise. Every thing
asked for can be found at the store from d
pin to a moving machine. The Wyoming
Hotel is model of its kind, first-class
house,a first-class table, gcntlemanly land
lord, and, altogether, just the place where a
stranger is made to feel himself at home. /
am told that the bar is first-class too, bat be-
ing Temperance man cannot vouch for the
truth OF that, but do know that Temper
ance men are not compelled to drink the IL
quors If they do not want them.
MIR. Wentz is good fellow. May his
shadow never grow less
Time and space will not allow me to
speak at length of the different other enter
pifcco or n ~
new Good Templars Hall, the musical taste
of the inhabitants, for in nearly every fami-
ly you will find melodcon or piano. Here
is where the ''Leary boys" live, so celebrated
for concerts and musical attachments.
There is a splendid opening here for
foundry and machine shop, an agricultural
implement mandatory and tin and stove
store. But my letter is too long already, so
no more. RAMBLER
