Motto won thk Dat.—“All, toe, will bear in
mind this sacred prineiple, that though the
will of the majority is, in all cases, to prevail,
that will, to be rightful, must be reasonable ;
that the minority possesses their equal rights,
which equal laws must protect, and to violate
which would be oppressive.*’—Thomas Jtjfer-
son.
Under the rule of the majority which
has seised on the Government of the United
States, such words of wisdom as are embraced
in this epitome of a Constitutional Republic
pass for absolutely nothing. We seriously doubt
if there bo one man of weight left in the
Black Republican ranks who would allow any
amount of injustice to a minority to interfere
with his schemes or policy. The first thing an
Abolition placeman determines in politics is,
what will it pay ? Then follows the count of
noses, then the bill appropriating the moans.
From this Constitutional incapacity, in the
large majority of Northern politicians, to see
how it is possible to abstain from doing good to
yourself when you have power in your hands,
has sprung the host of evil influences which
has overturned the late Government. This
bluuted moral perception, which sooner or 1st-
er comes to view Might as Right, will prevent
the Northern States from establishing a per
manent, safe and happy Government till the
crack of doom. The doctrine that the majori
ty must rule, aud ought to rule, will in a quar
ter of a century make an iron-handed despot
ism of the Northern Union.
Trouble Brewing.
The “Chronicle A Sentinel’' of the 27th,
nays it has recoived information that “ Presi
dent Davis will entirely ignoro the two regi
ments now recruiting in Georgia, by order of
the Governor, and all the Governor's appoint
ments, and that ho will not allow civilians, or
West Point Juniors to rank above West Point
senior*, citizens of the Confederate States, who
have heretofore seen service and who have re
signed their eotnmissions in the United States
Army.”
He Slept end Heated Well.
The last •*Court Bulletin” that has fallen
under our observation is the following! “ Do-
spite the exciting rumors iu eirtulation last

How strange that he should be able to sleep

The abject of this bill, says the Memphis
Appeal” of the ITlh ultimo, was to make aa
appropriation ef twelve hundred thousand
dollars to build seven now steam sloops of
war. They are to be constructed with very
light draught, and are designed to euter the
harbors and rivers of the South, where the
larger war vessels cannot penetrate. The bill
is a war measure, and designed expressly to
assault more efiiciently the harbors of the
South. Senator Green, of Missouri, in his
speech upon the bill, said :
“At a time when the credit of the govern
ment is ruined, and it could not pay private
claims of a few dollars, ft Is then proposed to
pay a large sum 6>r war. Senators <k>ald vote
a homestead bill to give hornet to scoundrels
and vagabonds of large cities, and could vote
one huudred and twenty million* of dollars to
build a railroad, and now they come up and
ask twelve hundred thousand dollars to build
steamers to coerce Statea—not in the language
of the eagle-eyed Senator from New York, but
of the bellicose Senator whoso voice is still for
war.”
With this avowed and recognized purpose,
openly proclaimed, Andrew Johnson or Tkr-
nzsskb voted with the Black Rmsucus
for the passage of the bill, and was the oxlt
SoirrEBRN Senator who so voted.
If it were possible to add to the infumy of
his name, this vote would accomplish the re-
•ult; but he has already reached the lowest
depths, and no act of hia can ever sink him
deeper. How marked the contrast between
his course and that of Senator Green, of Mis
souri. The latter commands the respect of all
parties, and gives to his State her due influence
the councils of the nation; while Andrew
Johnson not only disgraces the reputation of
State, but has entirely destroyed her influ
ence by truckling to the Black Republicans,
ho ply him with flattery, aud proclaim him
the modern Jackson. He has fallen in their
embraces. Would that they could transplant
him in some foreign foil, so that Tennessee
might never again be polluted by his foot
steps.

The Charleston Mercury contains the fol
lowing despatch dated Washington, February
28:
The War Department to-day received de
spatches from Major Anderson, in which he
flatly contradicts the absurd report, started by
a Charleston paper, to the effect that he was
ill. lie deolares that he never \>mm in better
health, and professes to be ready for any
emergency that may arise. Speaking of the
battery on the sandhills of Cumming’s Point,
he says that the work is still rapidly progress
ing, but that when the occasion requires it, he
can, in a very few minutes, with his heavy
guns, sweep away the bomb proof battery on
the Point.

Correspondence of the •• Guardian*”
Montgomery, Ala., Marsh 1. 1861.
Tbs Constitution is still under consideration.
We have only been able to learn that import
ant amendments are urged by a#7eral mem
bers. The points of disagreement are upon the
time the President and Viee President shall
be elected, some contending for six and oth
ers for ten years, and all agreeing that the
President shall be ineligible for the second
term. Another pointof difference is, upon the
admission of States into the Southern Confed
eracy One party are for admitting oqly Slave
States, whilst others favor Mi oh a policy that
each of the Free States can be admitted into
the asm Union, and by that means effecting a
reconstruction of the Government. However,
we are of She opinion that the latter policy
will receive but l»tt!e favor at the hands of the
Confederate Congress. We do not think there
ia even a glimmering hope of reconstruction.
If such should ever be the case, it will have to
be exclusively upon the terms dictated by the
Southern people. And we doubt whether the
Cotton States would be willing to receive any
free State as a member of this Confederacy,
under any circumstanoes. For ourselves, we
doubt the wisdom of such a course, for almost
any reason. The North and South being a
different people in interests, descent, habits,
and tastes, we do not think that they can ever
live peaceably under the same Government.—
It is the desire of all, that the two sections may
•eparatsin peace—the 8outh intending to main
tain her rights, but iu all cases acting on the
defensive.
The Commissioners appointed to tho United
Etatca are instructed to demand of Mr. Lin-
colu, as soon as he takes the oath of office, the
surrender of Forts Sumter and Pickens, and
all other Federal property within the limits
of the seceding States; and should he refuse,
President Davis will immediately proceed to
take Forts Suinter and Pickens. And after the
capture of these forts, hostilities will cease,
unless Mr. Lincoln undertakes to blockade
Southern ports. If such should be his policy,
a more offensive, as well as defensive policy,
will be carried out by the seceding States to the
hearts content of the Black Republican party.
The weather is already bacoming disagreea
bly warm in Montgomery. The cost of living
here is enormous. Montgomery beiug oue of
the most wealthy and refined cities in the
South, and being principally a great Cotton
mart, the necessaries of lift are necessarily
brought from a considerable distunes aud sold
at very extravagant prices. At the principal
hotels hoard cannot be had for less than $2 10
to $3 00 per day, additional charges for inci
dentals and extras. The boarding bouses charge
from $30 to $40 per month, for board und
lodging.
The President has rented a neat house for
$5,000 per annum. Mr. Toombs has selected
a oomfortable and unpretending mansion, for
which he has been asked to pay $3,000.
We have been thus specific, to give your
readers merely an idea of what it costs to live
in the new Metropolis of the Southern Con
federacy. What Is to become of the poor
clerks aud other officials, we cannot say.—
Their salaries will hardly feed them, leaving
them without clothes or pocket inouey.
The people of Montgomery are not to blame
for this state of things. It is a city of great
wealth, and its people are high-toned, refiued,
chivalrous, magnanimous, aud have been long
accustomed to all the extravagances incident
to wealthy cities.
We notice many of the old Federal appoin
tees in the city, doubtleu desiring reappoint
ments. The Government, iu all its depart
ments, is proceeding with great discretion and
quietness; and such fs tho general harmony
of action, that every Southerner's heart should
pulsate in gratitude and contrition to Him
who will be to us a white cloud by day and a
pillar of fire by night, in this effort for inde
pendence and relief from bondage and oppres
sion. JUVENAL.
Letter from Mr. Madiuon.
Tho Philadelphia “ Evening Bulletin ” gives
the following letter from Mr. Madison to Mr.
Livingston, thou United States Minister to
Franco, concerning the marriage of Jerome
Bonaparte and Miss Patterson :
[private.]
Washington, October 28, 1803.
Lear Sir: Jerome Bonaparte, who came to
this country with a view to a more secure pass
age to Europe, has boon smitten, it seems, with
a young lady in Baltimore, and the result ia to
boa marriage, which will probably hare taken
place before this leases the port to which it is
sent. It is to be hoped that the connection
will bo more auspicious to the happiness of
the parties than the suddenness of it and other
considerations may be thought to promise.—
But considering the relation of one of the par
ties to a man who has so much influence on the
course of human affairs, and whose private
feelings inay mingle themselves to a certain
degree with his public sentiments, the event is
not without importance. In every view, it
enabled to give such explanations as
will aacord with truth and prevent erroneous
irepressions. I follow, therefore, my uwn sense
of propriety, as well as the wishes ot the friends
of the young lady, in informing you that her
parents have had no share in promoting this
distinction of their daughter, and that their
station in sooiety and their independence of
fortune place their acquiescence in it far above
any suspicion of indelicate considerations.—
Mr. Patterson, the father, is a man of the fair
est charaoter, of real respectability, of very
great wealth, perhaps near a million of dollars,
and has received aufllcientproofk of the esteem
and confidence of his fellow-citizens. By mar
riage he is connected with a very important
family in Maryland, to which you are not a
stranger—Mr. Patterson being the brother of
Mrs. braith, the wifeof Gen. 8mith, well known
in our public councils, and at present a Sena
tor of the United States, and herself also of a
very respectable fkmily.
With sentimenta of great esteem and regard,
I have the honor to be, doar sir, your most obe
dient and humble servant,
JAMES MADISON.

John Forsyth on the Charleston Mercury.
Mr. Forsyth, editor of Ihe Mobile Register,
is pretty severe on tbe Charleston Mercury,
aud others disaffected with the Montgomery
Government. He says:
“ No tnan who has more than the merest
superficial knowledge of current politics, or
who does not deliberately intend to mislead,
will quote the Charleston Meroury as ths lea
der or even the organ of tbe prevailing senti
ment of South Carolina, much less ihe Cotton
States at large. Always discontented and
grumbling, arrogant in lone, Jlppanl in juiig-
ment, intoleraut of any opinion but its own,
intensely self sufficient aud supercilious, I
should, indeed, regret to be cjropelled to ac
cept it as the exponent or type of South Car
olina character. So far from the Mercury re
presenting the policy of its State, the South
Carolina deputation here has taken an aotive
and prominent part in the very action of the
Congress with which it finds fault. It may
be added that at no steps which this Congress
has taken, has tbe influence of South Caroli
na failed to the side of moderation, prudence
and wise statesmanship. In matters where
prejudices were supposed to be strongest, as
in question of a revenue tariff, she has gener
ously taken the lead. To her in a great mea
sure i9 due the general harmony and lbs cor
dial unanimity with whioh the Congress has
heretofore acted. The deputation has shown
no wish to have the temporary President ta
ken from their State, and cheerfully gave
their vote for Mr. Davis, a§ some of them
would have Mr. Stephens for (he first oa well
as the second position on the ticket.”

ning an engine through a village where wood-
eu buildings are so near to the treck as to be
exposed to fire from the sparks, is bound to a
higher degree of care than when running in
the open country.
When the expoiureof the buildings Is In
creased by reason of a wind blowing towards
them from the engine, which Is standing at
rest upon the track, the corporation is respon.
sible for the utmost vigilance and care.
Under such circumstances, and after ihe
law had been stated in effect as above, and in
struction to the jury that tha plaintiff could
not recover if the engine was in good order,
of proper construction and used with ordina
ry care, was properly refused. *
The owner of an unfinished building thus
exposed is bound to the use of such care as a
roan of ordinary prudence would employ an

bis right to redress for tbe wrongful megli
gence of another, because be might have es*

part.
Whether the leaving a door partly open,
through sparks from the engine flew—the door
being a pari of the bouse then in oourre of

builders—was culpable negligeaoo on the part
of the owner or his servants, is a question
