I should deem myself fully warranted
in this course, on the principle Of inter-
national law, that persons within the
territorial limits of a. de tacto Govern
meut or power, which Ia strong enough
to maintain itself for q reasonable period
are justified in yielding respect and
obedience to its authority.
Moreover, I should have nothing to
fear but the Government. ofthe United
States, for in this section that Govern
meut brings Danger to none but it's
friends.
Let Congress make an appropriation
of OBJ million dollars to enable the au.
thorities of this State to protect all
American citizens in her borders in the
free and safe enjoyment Of all their YES
ted rights, by organizing and equipping
competent forcefor that purpose, and
1 will stake my life upon it that Gov.
Scott, despite his alleged conservatism,
will do his whole duty in the premises.
The forcc could be composed Of men
who served bravely in the Union army,
and would be drawn from the North
aud West, as we'll as from this State.
Without the means to organize and
put such a force in motion, he must re-
main powerless, for he is confronted by
many of the organized soldiery whose
martial prowess held all the power of
the United States at bay for nearly
four years.
With such o force, thoroughly mo
bilized, he. will cut such a swath thro'
this up country that, in comparison
with it, the dark line that marks Sher'
mans march to the sea, will seem to
the disloyal men who would be made
to feel the long delayed retributive jus"
| tice of their country, as path streWn
with roses"

No AMNEsTY.-The following terse
and puugent article from the flashing
ton Patriot, contains much home truth.
1t is a scattering rebuke to the revolu-
tionists in Congress, and the fanatical
constituency who uphold them.
Notwithstanding the decided vote of
the House in favor of amnesty, with
certain Limitations, the Radical majority
of the Senate decided in caucus yester-
day not to allow. the Bill to be con
sidered. Twenty men, not represent
ing one.third of the Chamber, were
powerful enough to bind the will Of q
vast majority against this. measure Of
common justice and reason. Every
candid Radical press in the country,
every member of that party claiming
the least degree of craftsmanship, and
every wise counsellor have urgently
recommended this concession. After
six years of prescription and persecution,
during which time all the best men Of
South have been excluded frotn Office,
and been dsbarrcd any participation
in the management of their own affairs,
the Senate now brands them anew and
continues. tho work of exclusion. e
How is it possible, after putting the
former slaves over the masters, and
elevating ignorance, vice and corrup,
tion to the highest dignities, to expec.
abject submission on the part of the
superior race when it has thus been
purposely degraded ? 1t would seem
as if tho party in power was exha ast-
ing a perverscingenuity to stir up the
bad passions ola people whom they
seek not only to subtugate, but to dis
honor. Congress has substantially pass.
ed the most atrocious Bill that ever
disgraced the American statute book.
1t strikes down all the cherished
rights of the citizens and all the safe-
guards of liberty which the Constitu-
tion has hitherto scrupulously shielded.
And not satisfied with this statute
which bristlcs all over with pains and
penalties, the work Of a revolutionary
cabal, there is superaddedto the torture
the refusal Of that poor amnesty which
all just men have demanded for years,
not as q measure Of generosity, but as
ono of practical wisdom, far more in-
portant to the Government than to the
parties who might receive the tardy
and reluctant boon.

Countless seeds OF good and Iii,
Scattered on the level lowland,
Cast upon the windy hill:
Seeds that sink in rich brown furrows,

Seeds that rest upon the surface
OF the dry, unyiel,ting plain.
Seeds that iall amid the stiffness
OF the lonely mountain glen;
Seeds cast out in crowded places,
Troddcu under foot of men,
Seeds by idle hearts forgotten.
Flung at random on the air;
Seeds by faithful souls remembered,
Sown Ia tears, aud love and PRAYER.
Seeds that lie unchanged, unquickened,
Lileless on the teeming mould;
Seeds that 1--we and grow and flourish

BY a whisper SOW we lcssings,
By breath We scatter strife:
In our words, and looks and actions
Lie the seeds of death aud life.
Thou who knowest all our weakness,
