Feast Of be1mmacuIate Conception.

Some0f our readers, we are told, may
have misunderstood the announcement in
reference to this feast, which was inserted
in our last issue as taken from the Balti-
more Mirror.
That announcements official for the arch
diocese of Baltimore only. The feast be-
comes Of obligation throughout the United
States, as it is proclaimed to the faithful
by their diocesan authorities, and not other
wise. Hence, what is official in Baltimore
is not official in New Orleans. In fact, mo-
tives of prudence may, for . considerable
time, prevent the,promulgation, Of this feast
rs of obligation in the dioceses Of the South
1t will, therefore, be celebrated as
heretofore, on the Sunday next ensuing
after its occurrence. For oil Catholics,
however, who can afford the time, the i'm
portance of manifesting some special devo-
ton on Tuesday next, the feast day proper,
must be apparent. 1t is the patronal feast
of the whole United States, and of this do
cese locally. ~
Though the poverty of our people,>end
the general distress may for a while prevent
the day from being promulgated among us
as q holiday of obligation, these reasons do
not apply to all individuals, and many,
doubtless, will be present at the various
churches of the city on the approaching &C.
castor.
1t is to be hoped that the day is not far
distant when the Feast of the Immaculate
Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary will
be celebrated with great magnifcence and
devotion throughout the length and breadth
of land which she has taken under her
special favor, but which as yet, for the most
! part knows her not.

of the public tranquility. II disfranchised
white citizens to enable 1t to elect
radical legislature; it then pretends to enfran-
chise them and devolves the choice of Presi-
dental electors upon the legislature. Such
action is bundle of confessions. 1t confesses,
in the first place, that the radicals cannot
carry the State for Grant by popular vote,
even with large number of the whites dis
franchised. 1t confesses that Acknowledgement
was mere party man@uvre, not founded on
any sound reasons of public policy; for the
reasons assigned are much stronger now (by
the showing of the radicals themselves) than
at the time the Acknowledgement was adopted.
The sudden danger is concession that the
assigned reasons were hypocritical pretexts. 1t
is also a confession that the Republican leaders
have serious misgivings as to their ability to
carry the Northern States, and that they need
to let down, or rather to smooth over and dis
guise the proscriptive insolence and intolerance
which they have hitherto practised. 1t is but
a few days since the Tribune tried to shift the
issue from the Reconstruction acts to the new
Constitutional Amendment. There is now
a further advance in the same direction-a
confession that one Of the leading features OF
the amendment itself is wrong and impolitio.
What rendered that Amendment particularly
odious and caused its unhesitating rejection by
the South, when it was first presented, was its
disfranchisement of the Southern leaders.
To abandon it now, is to confess that it
ought never to have been adopted. The Re-
publican party pretends to take the back
track, because it has been overtaken by alarm
and terror at the rapidly growing strength OF
the Democratic candidates. 1t Is death-bed
repentance-as sincere as repentance in full
view of the grave commonly is, but of kind
that would be itself as suddenly repented OF,
if the terrified sinners should regain their
hopes of life. ...

The Senate the Government.

from the boston E'0St ..- ... D
The glaring iniquity of the method chosen
by the radicals in Congress for recruiting the
Senate, is exposed in the letter of Governor
Seymour in the most impressive manner. 1t
is because he does these very things with SO
much truth and temperance combined, that
the Greeley school of radicals hate him with
such perfect hatred. Jefferson was denounced
high and low in his time, and 1t was because
he had cool, philosephic, and mastery way
of putting things that excited hatred because
he could not be successfully answered, And
of all the passages in Governor Seymour's
felicitous letter OF acceptance, none seems to
stir radical hostility quite SO visibly as that
containing his calm and patriotic appeal to the
reasonable men OF the Republican party, to
abandon the mad leaders whom they have
vainly sought to restrain. -f.
The Tribune makes the bullying boast that
even If the people do elect Democratic
House OF Representatives and Democratic
Executive they will be helpless, and could not
''carry out their wishes" except by inaugura-
ting revolution. That is to say, the Senate is
TO be the Government No more distribution
OF powers. No more balancing OF one branch
OF Government against the other. Because
radicalism shall have been driven to its last
hope and hole, therefore one branch Of Con-
gress, not radical shall no longer 'carry out
the wishes of its constituents" and an inte-

less, ''the servant of the Senate" unless both
shall unite in initiating revolution This, too,
from the same Tribune that shouts from year
to year for larger popular rights, and profesees
to be sensitively jealous of the encroachments
OF all forms of power.
1t becomes us, then, to look carefully into
the character and composition OF the Senate
which the radical leaders thus propose to set
up as the Government. In the first place, it is
no strict representative of the people, and
never was. 1t stands only for the integral
States which together make up the Union.
1t is the symbol of State rights and State in
tegrity. And IL is such body that is to be
set up as the essence and authority OF our re-
publican SYSTEM by men whose habitit is
almost daily to scott at the idea Of the States
having any individual rights, and to denounce
those who consistently maintain the doctrine
as secessionists and advocates OF disunion.
Like all hypocrites, these radical leaders are
driven by stress of circumstances to take
refuge in the very doctrine, improperly ap-
pied, which they have been 30 voluble and
Voclierous in condemning. ..1H. g..

to us as the new source of authority, was not

The Indictment Against the Republican
Party.
From the ". p. Times.

From the N. p. Times
The charges of corruption and misgovern-
ment made by Democrats against the conduct
of the Republican party may be summed up
nnder these counts: (l) that the Republican
marty caused the war for the purpose of des-
.potio domination; (2) that this party wasted
the peoples money by an unnecessary in
crease of the war debt; and (3) that its plan
OF reconstruction was adopted to perpetuate
Its own power. I" O. 81.
,noIn answer to the first charge, it is sufficient
9t0 reply that before its accession to power the
Republican party incurred no responsibility
dor the conduct of national affairs. The attack
upon Fort Sumter was in its preliminary
stages of preparation before Lincoln's inaugu-
ration. Soon after his accession to power the
yGttack was precipitated simply because he
t%0uid not recognize the Confederate Govern
l2neht.S At his inauguration President Lin
teolnb had plainly shown that war, if it must
9eonle, would be forced upon the nation by the
rPopth; they must become the aggressors,
otherwise there would be no conflict. The
people knew then, and they still remember,
what party was really responsible for the
civil war. They knew then, and remem-
'ber, how this war was threatened by the De-
mocratic party as the inevitable consequence
of its removal from power. 1t is not forgotten
whence came the threat of war, or whence
the first hostile blow. The Republicans
sident and Congress upon the defensive.
They could not without treason, surrender the
Government to insurgents The party was
successful in spite of the armed opposition of
the South and the no less rebsllious Opposi-
tion OF those Northern Democrats who sympa-
thized with the South. Here, at least, there
was no partisanship, no Corruption, Nor
do we find that partisanship entered into
President Linooln's administration in ths
conduct of either military or state affairs.
He selected both in his Cabinet, and among
his subordinate officers in the civil servica q
large number OF those who had opposed his
election. To this course he was moved not
less by his own choice than by expedienev
His was not partisan administration. Aud
it was new thing in our political history.
For a whole generation-indeed, ever since
Andrew Jackson's term-there had been a
general subsidation of subordinate officers
for the perpetuation of the power of the
Democratic party. The iallure OF that party
