Congress iljself derives all the ruer it can ex

; The passage this bill by Congress is the
inauguration a revolution most fearful in its
consequences., itya nnnificatioil of th(J
fititution by men who have taken an oath to
Support and obey its oUigation5. It is' an ab
rogution of .all popular rights, of all civil lib-
My m tin or the States ; of the Union. It ef
tWctually wipes these States out of existence.-

; ernwent legislative, executive, and judicial
nd confers all their powers upon irresponsi
ve agents, who are set up as petty despots in
heCscvcral military diotricts into which the
.South is divided.
A The p&sagc of this bill is an attempt on the
iart of a temporary majority in Congress to
-exercise power whkh that, body does i:Ot pos
sess . It i3 an act of treason of the most fla
grant character. Its unconstitutionality is'so
glaringly patent," that it rannot be regarded or
trcated-'aa a law by any officer of the Govern
ment, who has taken an official oath to support
and obey the constitution, much les by one
who has sworn to protect defend, and preserve
-i t to the best of his ability.' Obedience to this
measure as a law, involves disobedience to the
constitution, arid all the Jaws. It is an act of
ch:u reLlten, as inexcusable and unjustilUiUe
as thatof Jefferson Davis and hi3 associates in
attempting to setup an independent Govern-
Wnt in the South.
The people of the country can regard this act
Congress in no other light than this. With
out reference to the individual, whoat present
occupies the Executive office, the fact must be
apparent ldfcvtry cai didj reader, that this ac
tion of Congress is an outrage upon the consti
tution, essentially 1-evolutibna.ry, subversive of
the fundamental principles of the Government'
und fatally dangerous to the liberticsjcf the
people.
Tt appears that the cohereiSt fcnd un
; answerable objections oflerod by the Chief
Executive against the adoption of ibis
bill by Congress,, were presented in terms
0 strongl decided and dignified" as to
command tRe profoundest attention and
reyspect from the members generally, and
i evidently impressed deeply those, who
j from party nc'cese&ty even, were forced to
pustaiu the bill, though aticart, oprosed
itot very many of its features, Uut with all;
the Executive romonstration to contrary,
tho effect in producing a counter action in
ihc Radical system, proved as ineffectual,
As did the experiment of the philosophers

After the reception of the message, it 1
is represented thtt a desperate effort was
, hiade by Messrs Koutwell, Butler and
Stephens "to excite the party" to the im

of the Southern States, one tiling i plain

: Mexico Llore Domain
The. Raleigh Seutind 8cc3 somewhat
inclined to credit the "rumor" to Uie" ef-,
feet, that a certain Mr. Abbott, (brother
to the historian), has suggested" to some
of the leading, nfcinbers of Congrcsa the
important; - project : of the . annexation, of
Mexico to the Unffed Statel, Which Mfi
Abbott fnsifcts meets ithe apprcTat of
Jaurez and the chief leaders of the re
publican party in Mexico. The proposi
tion, we understand was received by Mr.
Sumner and Gen : ' Banks with some de
gree of hesitancy; but with Messrs. How
ard, Chandler, Cole and others, met
with considerable favor,
The Sentinel suggests the propriety of
the .annexation scheme, on the plea, that
it is the "manifest destiny of Congress,"
to secure 'Republican forms of govcrn?-
ment to all the world, and the rest of man
kind," and very significantly asks, "how
would it do to add; Mexico to one of the
Military Bistricte?" '
It strikes us most thunderingly; and
we are very much disposed to endorse the
scheme, as altogether politic, in view of
the situation. This concretion of misce
genatcd Spaniards, Indians nd Negroes,
forming the complex Mexican character,
in the hands of the Radical Congress, to
deal with anon$ during the intervals for
more necessary supplemental legisla-i
tion upon the 'Internal" Southern ques-:
tion, might serve an admirable purpose,
m reducing the intense mordacious' pro
pensity of these Reformists, and in di
rccting the oppression and cruel cxac
tions, which they -are inclined to force
upon the Southern people, to the ' triply
confounded Mexican essentiality, and in
endeavoring to restore law and order to
this land"; of brigandage and1 revolution.
How Congress might receive into its
jeat radical! aorta the Jaurer Govern
ment, and bring from the "confusion
confounded " of blood, massacre and
savagism, a settled and permanent form
of Government, based upon the present
moral and intellectual qualifications for
citizenship wduld, in the present atti
tude o Mexican affairs, subserve won
derfully, perhaps in diverting the pre
scriptive, and Vindictive system of Radi
cal legislation, 'from the intelligent and
highly cultivated and honorable South
erner to tho more humane work of har
monizing, revolutionizing, radicalizing,
the heterogeneity of this race of brutal,
revengeful, haif-civilized mongrels. Pop
ular institutions haveing foiled in Mexi
co,' Congress would have to descend only
one step below Reconstruction try the
principles of self government, and erect
pon the shrine of anarchy and butche
ry, which have endured La Mexico for
more than half aocntury, the broad and
comprehensive theory "that all men
are bom fre a'ad equal" :and m the ab
sence of moral and intellectual qualifica
tions, have the right of "".animal qualifica
tions" to citizenship. This is a method
for Radical ascendeaey in Mexico, by f?r
more sure than all the
fillibusterinff'
movements that
for the pripose-.
might
be
inaugurated
Really the thought is overwhelming!
Hope springs ia our breast a thing of life,
as the prospect of future domain in Mex
ico brightens. Like a certain 4th of July
orator, we feel very much inclined to in
dulge in 'momentarv inspiration." And wp
w f i "
almost catch with our prophetic eye, the
gleam of the 4 'Star Spangle Banner" as it
streams from Cockburn Island to Yuca

From the Ki Oxvillc (Tenn.) Free Press.
In the Circuit Court at Kingston, Ro
ane county, East Tennetsec, Judge llouk
held the court in place of Judge UaU,
A man was arreigued for trial charged
with a felonious assult. The prosecutor
had Ltsen a rebel, the defendant a Union
man. , The, Federal troops hadj cucamf -cd
on the prbsooutoVs premises- j Tlie
ofiicer in command had sold the wrn of
the prosecutor to the defendant foe the
vnUtc of the corn. They had agreed to
arbitraterthe waDter. They met for, the
purpose. Thedefendant, with a pistol,
made ao assult upon the prosecutor, such
as the grand jury deemed a felonious as
sault.
TVir fraiRfl inif n Fur trlnl : Tho
Attorney GcWoral waived the f donyj and
the defendant suojnited for amisdemean-9
or. l he examiaa&xon ot witnesses de-1
veloped the facts as above stated. His
Honor (?) Houk -gravely announced
that he wais half inclined to send -the
defendant to jail because lie had hot shot
the prosccutar ! lie said that he ouirht J
to shoot lm yet! He further said i that 3
tho rebels tried togain their iubojen6Vnce
in the field and had failed, and that .they
could not be allowed now to avail them
selves of the courts of the country to
prosecute Cnion1 men. lie further aid
that any Union man who ng!bt slay a
rebel under the oiroum stances of the case
before the court, should never be pun
ished while he luld the Court.
Coloneljhoruburg, the District Attor

that was itself a rebuke to the so called
Judge, said : j
"If the cou.-t pleases, I wish I to- say,

lcrs than fourteen millions of dollars, Uie
aggregate, ambunt expended prior to the
rebellion in the j administration of their

embraced in-the provisions of these acts.
This sum would, 'no doubt, be considera

The debts. of these States,1 thus legitimate,

will, it ia believed, . approximate1 a hun
dred millions of dollars, and they are
held not only by our own citizens, among
whom are residents of U10 portions of the
country which have ever remained .loyal
to the ilJuion; but by persons who are the

of the message in which the President
alludes to the assumption by the United
States of debts of the rebel States incurred

. JJr.- Hendricks said the President had
not expressed, any opinion on that subject.
He bad nicicly.; iiiade the suggeution
whether, if the Southern . States were U
he treated as conn'uerctl invioecs. the
United Stutes wouid ivut have to4J the
dehbeof tliese Statosi. This'doctnao Vad
been laid down by Governor Morton, of
Indiana, twoears ago in a speech endors
ing the PreudcnVs policy.
2r. Sumner, said! that as a Question
of la v, there was iibthiug ilearcr. tlian
Uiat the rebel Suttslwcrc responsible for
all' thVir. obligatitni. The States still
existed, andtbeu- jitst oblfgations iahered
in them, aude-juld not be evaded.

He did' nt believe the President was cor-
roe. in hi., nssuinptions. The Southern
States -slill existed as States., ad uot as
conquered provinces j!
3Ir. Fcsscnden regretted tltat ihc Pres

The object of tho war as avowed
by Congress-was not the conquest of these
States, but the suppression of tho'-rebellion.
In the event,. howcvcT. of tho en
