il»ertie*f nod property of the people at the
absolute will of a few hundred politicians.
And row, last ot all, With a Jew fta Secre
cy of State for Foreign affaire and a min-
jatar to Paris wbo ia under the direct In
fluence of the Roman Catholic chnroh, we
find these State* being drawn into a diplo
matic scheme which makes us the foe of
Protestant civilisation and the ally ot the
most infamous despotisms that curse and
enslave Europe. Are we prepared to fol
low our political leaders, even to the con
version of these States into free negro
colonies ? tho destruction of popular free
dom 7 the subversion, through standing
armies of civil liberty ? and the overthrow
of ibc controlling religious influence of the
Protestant faith?
Under the influence of-the diplomacy of
Mr. Benjamin and Mr. Slidell, what Po
tentate is first to recognise ns? Tux
Pops 1 What hand -is most ready to wel
come us? Tho band whoso sword guards
tbo'eacred entrance to St. Peters, at Rome.
Kapolecn, the “eldest son of the church,”
is the " first” friend of the Confederacy.
Mexico is to be our ally, but only through
tho influence and form of Catholic Impe
rialism, reared upon the ruins of popular-
liberty and religious freedom. We- have
long since learned, that appeals to jus
tice, to law, to right; have very little
influence at Richmond. But tho con-
tmleralion which we cannot hope to
nreuse by exposition, we may obtain by
admonition. That which, will not be ac
corded fi*om a just sense of moral responsi
bility, will no doubt be yielded to a proper
appreciation of the certain consequences
which will flow from this alliance with the
Papacy and the doBpotisms of the Old
World. As surely as “ cause” will produce
its “ effect,” so surely will this Mexican bu
siness add a new element, and an irresistible
dement of populsrenthusiasm to the North
ern cause. Tho Umted States Gfoverriment
once eolisted as the defender of Protestant
civilization and the Protestant faith on
this Continent, against the schemes of Pa
pal supremacy, will fight under a banner
that will change the entire face of the con
flict. That change will be moat disastrous
to the South. A people may surrender
property, civil institutions and even the
constitutional form of liberty, under the
influence of revolutionary excitementj hot
there is no instance iff human history,
where a people have been induced to aban
don their religious convictions or sympa
thies. We admonish our representatives
at Richmond, as they would not add an
irresistible element of religions enthusiasm
to the now desperate and waning cause of
tho Lincoln party, at the same time vio
lating the deep religious*convictions of our
own people, to oppose, by every means in
their power, this infamous alliance with
the Catholic despotisms of Europe.
ji&~Several editorials, and other original
mattor, prepared for this week’s pa per,have
been crowded out by the President’s mes
sage and important news.
President’s Message,
We publish this document this week,
and doubt not it will be read with interest
by every body. It has the merit of being
short, which, in this day ol long documents,
wo consider a great recommendation.
It will be seen that, in speaking of the
course pursued towards us by foreign Go
vernment*^ the President utters first-rate
State Rights sentiments. *He speaks of
tho Federal Government as a “ limited
agency ” of the States. Of oourso the same
idea will apply with greater force to the
Confederate Government. Some of the
very fierce admirers of his Excellency about
here will have to “take water,” as they
cannot abide tbe idea of State Rights.
Wa are very much rejoiced to see tbe
doctrine of State Rights becoming so popu
lar. Gov. Bro^wn, Vice President Stx-
piienh, and a majority of the Goorgia Le
gislature led off in March in favor of tbose
time honored principles. They wore most
violently denounced by “certain gentle
men who had failed to get office,” and
others, for a time. In a little while, how
ever, the State of Mississippi unanimously
passed resolutions affirming the same doc
trine. Next tbe opposing candidates for
Governor in North Carolioaare both claim
ing to be the champions ot the doctrines
set forth in the Georg** resolutions j And
last, but not least, the President of tbe
Southorn Confederacy comes out flat footed
in favor of tho sovereignty of the States,
and speaks of the central government as a
“ li mite d agency!” Verily, “ things works /”
We hope that this doctrine—now -be
coming so popular, and which, if faithfully
applied in the old Government, would have
prevented the sickening scenes of carnage
attending this cruel war-may be honestly
enforced by all who now profess it, and
not made it ihattqf ot convenience, to be
adhered to in theory and rejected in prac
tice. What tbe country needs is an honest,
practical application of it.

Mr. long’s Speech.
We publish this week the major part of
the speech of Mr. Long in the Federal
House of Representatives, the delivery of
■which caused so much excitement among
the Black Republicans. It will be seen
thht Mir. Vino;in common with many of
too ablest statesmen of the North, is bo

doCtflne of State sovereignty. —•

A fow months more, and the Abolition
despotism will be overthrown, and peace,
freedom and prosperity,restored to the

Bay—for we shall have two free and inde

grand American idea that “ all just go

A soldier writes to us complaining
ol what we said about'the “ foeaging” pro-
ponsitiesSome of bur soldiers acquire! in
East Tennessee and put in practice while
passing through this and contiguous ooun-
Ues—-scorns to think it unkind that wo
ehould say a word against men who are
fighting the battles of the country, &o.
Our readers will remember that we spoke
in terms of forbearance ot the soldiers and
officers, though great outrages had v been
perpetrated partly under the forms of mili
tary law and partly without any sort of
authority whatever.

that no man in Athens has ever charged a
soldier ten doHars for a meal. As it is a
grave charge, we fee-l it doe to ourself to
state, as one of the citizens of Athens, that
iio soldier has ever been charged anything

with regard to many others, and ought to
