Figb, ■ prominent and pub- lispirited citizen of Montgomery, died in that efty on the niglit of the 23th fort. BTA dispatch Irom Washington «J» Gen. Grant is to have as his Christmas gift THE ANTI-SLAVERY CRUSADE. In a recent letter from Washington, ire find the following paragraph: A fcjr day. ago the House of Representa- tires pa-v ■! a resolution calling for an; in formation in the possession of the Executive Department with reference to a so-called de cree of Maximilian, the French agent in Mex ico, under date of September lam, establish ing slaver; or peonage in that republic.. It appears from the reply to this resolution that on the 10th of September, W. II. Corwin, Charge d'Affaires, sent a cop; of this decree to Secretary Seward, who requested the opin ion of Attorney general Speed uj>on that pa per. The latter gave an elaborate response, saying, among other things, that by the broad declaration in the first regulation, all men of color are free by the fact alone of having trod on Mexican territory. It it manifest that, in the subsequent regulations, a grinding and odions form of slavery is sought to be estab lished ; and he eonclndes as follows: I have no hesitation in saying that these regulations constitute a law which deprives working men of rights which We in this country regard, and which, in every well organized commu nity, lhould be regarded as inestimable, ina lienable and indestructible, and certainly fhalces them slaves. It is thus that the advice of our fathers is bring forgotten, and the old landmarks of lib erty are bring effaced. It waa once regarded aa a cardinal feature of American policy not to interfere with the domestic affairs of oth- ere, but to stay at borne and attend to our isine9s. It was thought to be the only truly wise and safe policy. Washington in- augurated it, and our best statesmen*avc re garded it as essential to the true glory and progress of the nation. How things have changed 1 The wisdom of the past has be come foolishness; conservatism and caution are old-fogyish and obsolete; new ideas and new theories must supplant the political and moral axioms of the more thoughtful days Of the Republic. Wc have become a fast, a pro gressive, and, we may justly add, an aggres sive people^ The success of one anti-slavery crusade, the glories of one victory, have in- toxicatcd the nation. The public mind is aroused, the military spirit in the ascendant, fanaticism rampant. We must have new fields for adventure, and deck our brows with fresh laurels, though they be wet with the tears and blood of millions, naman sufferings and human wrongs are as nothing, if we can but minister to the passion of the hour, hold aloft our blood-stained trophies, nnd celebrate our drunken orgies around a victorious flag. We an mad. What business is it of ours whether Mexico has slavery or not? What right has the Congress of the United States to inquire into the domestic policy of foreign -na tions and seek to regulate affairs in which it has no proper concern ? Are we to set ourselves up as legislators for the world ? Are other nations hereafter to do as- we aay, and not as they choose? Are we to dictate laws and institutions for mankind? Really one would think so when contempla ting the events and pretensions of these most extraordinary times. If so, let us show some genuine courage, if not magnanimity, in the commencement of the crusade. Let us begin with strong nations, those worthy of our steel, and not with those who are far weaker then ourselves. That will, at least, look brave. In stead of looking into tlie affairs of Mexico, Spain, and the South American republics with the view to accomodate them to our notions of what is best and right, let us ap point a committee to examine into the infer nal policy of France and England—to see whether they feed their paupers with full rations, require Jhe proper numlwr of hours’ labor front their operatives, or practice the right kind of religion. There would be some thing manly in that, if not sensible. If Washington, Clay, and Webster could rise from their graves and look down upon the presentAmcrican Congress, and the fearful tricks they are enacting before High Heaven, it woald be difficult to convince them that they had not been resurrected into the wrong coun- ■try. Those old Romans would find them selves’ “strangers in Rome!" The feelings, actions, sentiments would be strange, and doubly so coming from familiar faces. They would stand aghast at the present attitude of the North toward the South, and would be amazed at the that madness characterizes th c spirit of their countrymen. We can imagine the cloud-like brow of Webster as he would frown upon the mischievous intcrmcddlcrs in other people’s affairs, those irrepressible “architects of ruin” whom he reprobated so LATE9T BY TELECRAPH.

The receipts from the same ports during the month of November were nearly eleven millions. The Lamar Cottom Case.—The trial oi G. II.

We have since given more thought to the subject, and, with out any change of principles, can sec how the Southern representatives might go into Con gress after the passage of such a resolution, and without any’compromise of her rights or honor. This view may be taken of the ques tion : What the South desirai most at the pres- ent tune is, that -lie may tw heard, through c! oqucntlv j n days that are pa-oeil.

Those propositions arc simply an expression of views by the present dominant majority of Congress, and they cannot be legitimately said to express the opinions of anybody else. The So.tthcm members, who took no part in dSarusmag or passing them, cannot be re garded as in any wise responsible for them, any m re than they are* responsible for all the extraordinary measures that have passed that body during the late separation. Nor will they be bound by them, only so far as -uperior furce may compel respect and obe dience.

As regards the question more immediately under consideration, we have only to look to histcry for a warning against the-folly in which we are about to embark. Disregard of the rights of others, a spirit of intermeddling in what does not rightfully concern them, an aggressive temper snd a thirst for conquest, have, invariably, been followed by the decline and downfall of a people. May we learn this valuable lesson before it shall be too late to profit by its teachings. , Touching the establishment of slavery, or peonage, in Mexico by Maximilian, there is not a word of truth in the allegation. It is made for a purpose of their own, by a class of political tricksters whose chief study is to in vent fictions and misrepresent everything that relates to the Mexican empire and people. .

More Trouble for the Fenians A New York dispatch of the 23d inst, says: It is announced that a number of citizens in New York have got up a petition for pre sentation to the grand jury calling for tho indictment oi the Pre-ident. Senate and Cab inet of the embryo Irish republic. Among the reasons given for such indictment arc the following: Issuing bonds of a'republic that has no existence, arming, conspiring and banding together, for the purpose of inva ding and levying war on a peaceful and neighlKjring people, forming clans, factions and parties which are likely to endanger the lives and property of the people ot this mu nicipality. and spending the money thus ob tained in fashionable extravagance and high living, when many of the honest fellows who subscribed to it have to live on very low diet- adopted calling npr statement of the charges upon which.Jeff.

It was referred to the Judiciary Committee. The President’i late message on the condi tion of tlie Southern States was then taken up, and Mr. Stewart, of Nevada, made an ad dress in its support and condemnatory of Mr. Sumner's attack on it. Mr. Wilson, of Massachusetts, followed in a speech of con siderable* length, giving his. views on the condition of the Sooth and relative to its representation in Congress. He believed that great atrocities were being committed by the late rebels upon the freedmen of the South; but he had no issue to make on this or any other subject with the President, regarding whose honesty, ability and patriotism he ha«l no misgivings. He felt satisfied that the democratic party would continue to look in vain for a conflict of the republican party with the President. Dn tlie conclusion of Mr. Wilson’s remarks a abort executive ses sion was held, after which the Senate ad journed. In the house of representatives the speaker anaoaanad the appointments for the new committee on Mines and Mining, and named Messrs. Patterson, of New Hampshire; Gar- lb Id, of Ohio, mid Farnsworth, of Blinois, as Bcgi-uts of the Smithsonian Institute on the part of the House.
