The Bogus Constitution Dissecfed
and Exposed.
DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES.

CENT? EMEN AT former meeting of the
l;sOciation, a resolution was passed request
ng Judge Johnston and myself to address
you on the topics of the election, soon TO De
held to ratify or reject the Constitution pro-
posed by the late Radical Convention.
By the Constitution of the Democratic
party adopted throughout the State, we are
hquired to support the Constitution OF the
Uulted States and of the State of Mississippi,
and all laws passed in pursuance thereof.
1t has ever been the province OF the Dem
ouatiC party to defend the constitutional
rights, aud especially the reserved rights OF
The people. The Bill of Rights of the State
Constitutions reserve certain inallenaDle
privileges, which are excepted out oil the
general powers of government. These are
smphaticllly the peoples rights, ana tne
Democratic party had its origin In the dec
lence of these rights in the early history OF
Ae United States, and maintains that posi-
tlon to-day. Hence it is that while many
UtheF parties have arisen and fallen' Tue
Dtmocratic party has always maintained lts
VIganizatlon, and will continue to do SO uIl-
" the constitutional forms of government
snail have succumbed to despotic power.
lle recent attempt of the Radical parry
" Y Congress to impeach and remove tIe
resident was an effort, by two-IniIuo I
majority, to overthrow the Executive De-
paftment of the Government and lnstail
.uespotsm of numbers over the the constltu-
nohal - form of government. Although Fres-
d Sent johnson was elected to ONCE oy 1no
nauieas, in opposition to- the Democratic Z
Sil uidate, the Democratic party sustaihe9 !
n sLn IN opposition to the Radical party anu
toi uo result Is that the Constitution is nain
"rTed T1 and anarchy prevented.

Americans In Mexico.

Frem the Galveston CIVILIAN, 0th.I
Our discouraged Southern friends con-
tinue to make bad worse by emigrating to
Mexico. So long as they are few, poor
and obscure, they will be tolerated, but
they have fearful ordeal to pass through
before they will be secure in that coun-
try. The present generation will have
passed away in the meantime. The idea
that peopls from the United States will
yet conqder and rule the land OF the
Aztecs is neither new nor fanciful; but
nine-tenths of the natives abhor it never
theless, and hate "the per6dious Yam
kees," as they call the people of the
United States, with bitter hatred. Ac-
counts from the City Of Mexico say that
the distrust of the United States which
prevails in Mexico seems TO be deep
seated. The fear is openly expressed
that the energetic Yankees will obtain
control of the lines of internal improve
ments now projected, and that the ma.
tiyes will be thrust into the backgrou nd.
Americans have been in the City of Mex
leo for more than three months endeav-
oring to induce the Congress to authorize
the construction of an important rail-
road, but the committee to whom the
proposition was submitted have refused
10 report. Notwithstanding the obvious
advantages Of railroad connection with
The United States to the trade, industry
and Intellectual development of Mexico,
the people appose all these arguments
with a feeling Of more than Chinese and
Japanese Jealousy. They have an IN
stinctive knowledge that they will vither
and die under the full glare OF modern
eiviliration and the energies Il develops
and requires in those Who embrace IL

Movements Of General Breckinridgs.

An Alexandria, Egypt, letter of Feb
rusry 9Th, to the Boston Post, contains
the following paragraph:
This is the season Of the influx Of
Americans into Egypt, and the number
is even greater than in any previous
year. Of the seventy-fve dahabiyehs
or private sailing-boats, which have as
cended the Nile, no less than fifty fly the
American flag and contain American
parties. Last week four crowded steam
boats left Cairo for the lower cataract,
simultaneously. Mr.. Consul-General
Hale, our representative in Egypt,
has just returned from trip
on the Nile, for which a steamboat
was placed at his disposal by the Vice
roy. At my hotel no less person than
John G. Breckenridge is now sojourning.
He has been paying brief visit to Cairo,
and returns in day or two to France,
whence he will soon leave for Canada,
with his children, now at school in Yer
sailles. He looks much thinner and
somewhat older than when be sat in the
United States Senate. He declared to
an American at the dinner table yester-
day, in my hearing, that he was tired Of
his prolonged absence from the country.

Abyssiaian immortality.

II Is a melancholy but indisputsble

ality Of the neiphborhood are but too we'll
founded the ladies address the unsus'
pectiug stranger with an eifrontery which
would astonish the habitues Of Portland
and Waterloo places, and husbands put
their wives up TO auction in even more
cold-blooded manner than was formerly
attributed to John Bull by his Gallo
neighbors. The natives, Of both sexes
accost one in language and with ges-
lures which the most limited knowledge
of Amharic, or whatever their vernac-
ular may be, enables one to interpret
as infinitely gross and improper, and
there is o simple innocence about their
audacious advances which is positively
refreshing. The chronicles of the Hay
market would scarcely furnish more racy
anecdotes than / could retail from the
experience of the last two days, we're
such "reminiscences admissible in your
columns. The young women are far
more comely than one could have ex-
pected; but the absence Of soap and
water, aud the prevalence of oil and
butter, with which they lubricate their
tresses and bedaub their persons, render
their charms "cdpiare to the General. ="

Southern murders-who oommi. Them

From tho New York Herald 4,
Whenever any Radical frebraud, Loyal
Lacquer, or negro is killed or hurt IN the
South, the Radical press and orators of
the North make terrible noise about It.
They ring the changes and howl day after
day about rebel outrages, rebel hatred,
and rebel murders, but we never hear
anything from them concerning the muir
dered Southern whites and black out
RACES. The Radical papers are full OF
sensation accounts and denunciations
of the murder OF Ashburn, in Georgia,
but they say nothing about the
white one armed ex-Confederate soldier
who was shot dead on his horse recently
near Selma, Alabama, or Of the
other four white men who have been
murdered in the same vicinity since
the war and no one arrested for
these murders. No, we hear nothing
from these Radicals Of the numerous
other murders Of the conquered South
ern whites and outrages on them in other
localities Of the South, because there is
every reason to believe this is the work
Of the black loyal leaguers. At a public
procession and meeting Of negroes at
Macon, Georgia, on March 30, the loyal
blacks carried a banner on which the
figure of negro, cut in pasteboard,
hung dangling from gallows, and to
which was attached, on piece of white
paper, the following inscription: Every
man that don't vote a Radical ticket
this is the way we want to do him
hang him by the neck" These
Radical loyal league negroes boldly pro-
claimed, too, that the negroes who
failed to register should receive thirty
nine lashes; if he failed to vote at the
election, two hundred lashes, and, if he
voted the Democratic ticket, he should be
hanged. Need we be surprised, then,
that white Southerners are murdered in
every part of the South and that the mur.
derers are not arrested7 The Northern
friends Of the black barbarians pretend
not to know anything about their MUIR
derous doings. 1t is clear that the South
under radical rule is fast tending to an
archy and to worse condition than St.
Domingo was ever in.

Tho Chemistry Of Candies.

The production of sugar.plums on a
manufacturing scale has caused swifter
methods of fabrication. The small
items, such as rings, scissors, shoes and
hats, are cast in starch molds, and the
delicate sweets containing some essence,
such as pineapple and pear, are made in
the same manner. 1t puzzles older
heads than those of the, children to
know how this drop of delicious liGuid
gets into the center of the sweet. Like
many other puzzling matters, it 10 asily
explained. The favoring essence is
mixed with the liquid sugar, and, when
poured into the mold the latter crvstsl.
izes Immediately over the former. These
essences, so nice to the taste, are the
most remarkable examples of the
power of chemistry to transform veiy
repugnant materials into delicacies.
Fusel- oil is the base of the pear
essence, and pineapple essence is OF
tained by diluting ether with alec
hol The chemist IN his laboratory, with
great cunning, manufactures scores of
these essences, which are supposed to be
the veritable product Of delicate fruits.
Some of the pretty forms that are made
to take the fancy of the little ones, are
simply punched out of fat films of sugar
rolled; some are cast, as we have before
mentioned; some are pressed into shape,
when soft, between engraved rollers.
The drops and sweets that are quite clear,
are boiled so long, that all the water
has evaporated out Of them. Such
sweets must be Immediately bottled up,
or preserved from the air, otherwise
they absorb water and become semi
liquid. Barley sugar is an example in
point. If it is not Theoretically sealed
down in tins, it deliquesces, and loses all
its crispness. 1t is as we'll to know that
this is the purest of all sweets-being abb
soutely clarified sugar, and therefore the
most wholesome for children. On the
other hand, peppermint drops are the
most open to sophistication. They should
be made of crushed white sugar, mixed
into paste with gum. But the temptation
to adultsrate is too great for the dishonest
trader to resist; consequently, in order
to supply the cheap market, one-half
plaster paris 10 mixed with inferior su-
gar. Que csH quite understand the
sickness that overtakes children after
sucking these comfts; the wonder is
that such mass of plaster does not in
terfere more signally with their diges-
ton. Jujubes, those flexible lozenges
which stick so in the teeth, contain
large portion Of gum. They are poured
into tins to cool, stoved for several hours,
sliced into sheets, and then cut by scis.
sors into the we'll known diamond shapes.

The Best Drained CITY in Europe.

There is no portion of the immense
public works of Paris, which have now
been going on for so many years, so ad-
mirable and so useful as that which is
least seen. / mean the system of sub
terrsnesn sewerage, now fast approach
ing completion. From being perhaps
one of the worst, Paris is now by far the
best drained Of any European capital.
An excursion through the sewers was,
IS you are no doubt aware, one of the
favorite smussments Of visitors to the
Exhibition last year; and the pleasant
ness Of this underground trip, and the
total absence of all that was offensive,
was q subject Of admiration and wonder
to all who had courage to undertake it..
The finishing stroke to the system is
now about to be put BY the sinking of
two enormous metallic tubes, of more
than a yard each in diameter, across the
Seine, just above the Pont de rAlma.
These will connect the drainage of the
left bank Of the river with that Of the
right, and the whole will then be carried
bT the immense main sewer Of seven
miles in length, running between Paris
and Asnieres down 10 the point where
the Seine leaves the latter place, without
any where flowing into the stream within
the precincts Of the city. As to what
takes place below Asnieres, and how the
country and inhabitants beyond will be
affected by the polluted stream-depO-
nsnt saith nothing. / have heard, in
deed, that the fishes beyond that point
die, ssd Tia: the villagers are poisoned.

THE GOVERNMENT CHEAPER THAN BU-
CHANAN s.
1t therefore appears that the expenses
OF the government under the direction of
Republican Congress, hampered by a
hostile Executive, have been at the rate
OF SO, SOC, 900 less per annum than the
expenses under the last year of demo-
cratic rule.
We claim that they might fairly have
exceeded any honest expenditure in 1860
Tor we have five Or six millions more pop
ulatioE and a vast extent of new territory
to guard and control.
II it shall be alleged that we have in
ciafcd all the expenses of the War and
Navy Departments for fifteen months
after April, 1865, as war expenses, and
that there would have been a moderate
expenditure under any circumstances, we
will admit it; but the expenses of the
Indian war, estimated at $50 UOo, 900 TO
10, 900, 900. and the amount expended
on river and harbor improvements $40,
90. O00) for which we have made no
allowance, but have included as ordinary
expenses would fully offset this claim.
1t would therefore appear that when
partisans charge the Republican Con-
gress with extravaganza they charge the
last democratic administration with far
greater.
WHERE BUCHANAN's MONEY WENT
But we are fully prepared to admit
their charge of excessive expenditure
against both administrations. The ex-
penditure made under James Buchanan,
of ST., S4I, 600 In gold amounting to a
present currency equivalent of $lO7, ST.
400, was largely used to arm aud equip
the rebel states in order that they might
wage war against the government,
The extrayagant expenditure OF the last
three years has been made in consequence
of the appointment to and maintenance
in Office of corrupt officials by Andrew |
johnson.
We will now close this branch Of our |
subject, but let us first recapitulate our
figures.
