tat no agreement exists whereby

There are several other minor
rquiregien-ts which the creditor
has to faulfill. Creditors are paid
in the following order: Court fees,
the UJnited States, the State clerks
and servants, to amountof $50 each.
Debts by law entitled to prefer

'fis last 'eVo message is -a "do
cument of great1.power'. Terse in
language, and breathing - a spirit
of-devotion to thie.principles of a
"violated Constitution," 'it is at
once a manly protest and an ex
haustive argument.
.Upon no pon is the position of
theEresident 'mroiimfpregnidile
in law and fact than where he ex
poses the utter fallacy of the as
sertion than these ten Common
wealth of the South are neither
States in themselves or have legal
Governments.
As States they have been recog
nized by the .Sapreme :Couirt who,
in this capaeity,;have acknow
ledged them~ botl'in the arrange
mnt of their circuits and in their
-audience at its judicial bar. As!
States they have been recognized
by th.e:I'legislative department of
the Governmernt, who have sub
mitted to them as States twice,
since the cessation of hostilities
amendments to the Constitution
for their ratification or rejection.
To their.participation as States,
the ameidinent abolishing slavery
owes its validity, and that relating
to 8uffrage its.rejection. -
- If they had 'no right as States
thus to act, then slavery still ex
ists, and never has been legally
terminated. As States, they have
repeatedly been recognized by the
Executive. In fact, it is now, of
-right, too late to dispute this po
sition. Until of very recent ori
gin, every department of'the Gov
rnment haF admntted the state
ship f these commonwealths. It
was res-erved ?or Mr. Stevens, to1
erase the past, and to announce a
new doctrine, - which; however
spurned at first, has:at last, .in en
tire antagonism to every prirtciple
heretofore acknowledged, ..been
adopted as the ruie for the -public
councils-.
Mr. Stevens says, -The true-po
sition- of the ".ate Confederate
States is that of a congl'ered'ferrito
ry- of the 'United States.' -* * I
deny that the cOnstitUtion is either
ntheoretically or actually in opera
tion in any of these States."
This he is 'frank enough, to
avow-is the real:peint in ssue.
'T,his-is no: new, question.. There
have been.civil wars before. - And
there will likely be civil- wrs
again.' This very. subject has
been met and decided. We" need
not go- eynd iis cuifiy 1

then 'boldly aVo*s, "if that istrue,
then all we have done. here is ra*k

and inissioni of Mr.; Stevens' hiIn-'
self.
But, #ays the law in all ages,
"no nation ever makes a conquest
ofisontertr. Mr.' Stevens
onyacting in subversion of the
law, but' out of their own mouths.
stand condemned~ of rank usurpa
tion.
Our views have been strengthi
ened by time and events. The
true mode and plain duty of peace
and general welfare was full ac
knowledgement of the stateship
of these Southern Common
walths, and their admission to
representation and to identifica
tion with and participation in its
affairs. It was to make them a
par of the Union and'-to extend
$.them the protection and bene
tts ofits Constitution and laws.
- But it has thus far been decreed
otherwise, and agaihst the earnest
and sincer-protest of South.
We -ca'n but hope with the Pres
ident"'that in the end the rod oi
despofilm will be broken, the
armed -'ule of power .be lifted
from 'the necks of.the pe'ople, and
the principles of a violated Consti
tution preserved."
The Louisville Courier says :
"Without a single exception, the
Jacobin demagogues who are en
gaged in making bullying and in
sulting speeches through the pros
trated and helpless South took
care to keep away from there
while the war war, going on. The
bull i a-rlc alwam a coward.'

Sensible Adlvice,
Geo. W. Kendall writes from
Texas to the New Orleans Pica
yune, and-gives us the following
sensibe views :
The lessons,- which adversity
teaches are hard, ye they must
be learned. And these .lessn
are always useful- I know' that it
comes hard for a young man to
walk behind a plow who once rode
behind a fast trotter; nor is it
agreeable to a young lady to make
and put on her dresses all by her
sef, who formerly had a couple of
servants to take these irksome
jobs off her hands. Yet I can see
no other re~medy, at least for those
who have simply been ruined by
the war, and the list is a long one.
That a large majority have ac
cepted the situation cheerfully, I
am glad to say is true-I snean
the situation to earn their.wn
living; all must do itm And there
are many who think, and 1 am
one of them, that in the long run
it will be all the. better for the
rising generation of the South
a generation which is to follow
one notoriously brought up in
ignorance of work and indoIence
