From the Baltimore Gazottel
WAsHISGToN, April II, 1859 The
set recently paesed by Congress enabling
V,rginjs. Mississippi aud Texas 10 "rs-

the President may prescribe and finally
consent to, is the most gisringly lnc0n-
sisteut and iDcOngruCus o. ali tha specl-
maas Of their species Of legislation, "a
ita face IL ACKNOWLEDGES, in so many
words. that sll these commodities are at
this moment States OF this Union. The

sdop,ion of the Fifteenth Amendmsut 5
condition precedent 10 their represents
ton 10 Congress, pOtentiy gives Up the
Uhole question il respect 10 their true
ststus. It seems to be supposed, TOO,
that the Legislstur OF these States

ConstltutiOns lsO- -called) are 70 be soied

in mind. also, that the elections OF these
I,epislstures, as well ss those putting
tbroughn the Constitutions, are 10 be
under the conduct and supervision Ofthe

There is cauee for rejoicing that the
editorial bstteries heretofore exclusively
/ directed agsinst the imaginary Ku Klux
/ KIaps Of the South are to be hereafter
| leveled also at the bsrbsriIies" in
Cuba. The Radical oTgan OF this (Sun
dsyl morning is Tedoient with brutal
| ouiTsgesn in that unfortunate island.
In reading some parts of this Radical
sheet, one can scarcely avoid being de-
luded into the belief that he hss verita-
bic secession journal, printed about the
year Of '62" before his eyes. Win a
! slight change here and there, the " bar
hRrities - on land and "Outrsges on the
high seas /" might well apply TO another
STATE Of things aud st quite another
euoeh Of time See the heading, in
HACK letter. Of the C7lYORlcle's TRADE:
"BIu;al Execution OF PatriOts-Se-
ditious Cries from the Spectators-A

Bat in the columns Of such loyal "
sheet it Is a little surprising to see such
extraordinary newborn "sympsthy y
( with sscessionists Rad 'insurFeetionists," "
es is eVinced in The whole OF its curren1
leading articles. II further says this
morning, noticing the Brutal outrsges
in Cuba":
"The Spanish volunteers, who now
| appear to have bid defiance to Gen
Dulce, are committing all sorts OF savage
| cruelties on msn sud helpless women
aud children whoss protectors are sas

Nv substituting "Arkansas'' for "Span-
isb . and "ClaytOn for Dulce," thi:
paragraph might very well now suit the
:. ,lnmns OF the Mobile Register itself
Sncb Language, I am induced to believe
