V Contrail. '
Throughout the States of the South
which mude the attempt to secede
from the Union, on account of what
their people thought political griev?
ances, there is a marked change in
tue sentiment of the people in regard
to politics, and to the issues growing
out of political controversies. Now,
there is unity in all things; no politi?
cal campaigns, no exciting discus?
sions, no issues of political policy
discussed. Tho mis-governed State
of Tennessee forms the only excep?
tion to this healthful condition of
quiet;'and the cause of trouble there
is of the same nature as that which,
in Washington, is tending to keep
the Union still dissevered, if not to
produce a revolution throughout the^
North and West. The people of tho
South ate united in their support of |
the conservative policy of tho Presi- j
dent, and their highest and only po- j
litical aspiration is to he permitted, j
in accordance with that policy, to j
their rightful participation of which
these States form a constituent part,
and for thc support of which they
are cheerfully willing to bear their
share of the burden.
On the other hand, the radicals of
the North, East nndWest are moro
vehement, if possible, in their exhi?
bitions of malignity and enmity to?
wards the people of the South than
they were before or during the war.
Having accomplished this great end
the emancipation of the slaves
having overwhelmed the South in a
most fearful struggle, and the latter
having manfully accepted their de?
feat and its consequences, this de?
structive party still persist iu their
wicked warfare on all that is patriotic
and conservative throughout the |
whole country. Violent denuncia- j
tions of the Chief Magistrate, over- j
riding the Constitution of their coun?
try, maligning the South and her
people, plotting to keep power in
their own hands, find usurping the
functions of every other department
of the Government, constitute the
daily work of the men who were sent
to legislate for tho interests of the j
whole country. Ls it any wonder that
some of the Northern papers fear, as
the New York Times remarks, if this
state of things continues, that its
effect will be, if the people do not
rebuke and squelch it, there will be
another civil war; and the same paper
adds: "Those who sow the storm will
then reap the whirlwind. But it
were better for the welfare of the
country that the Sumner and Conk
liugs, the Philipses and the Greeleys,
with other blind guides, should be
checked before they plunge the coun?
try into another civil convulsion."
The people of the South, although
they have the deepest interest at
stake, must look on with folded arms
at this contest between the President
and the men in the national capitol,
between conservatism and radicalism.
While they uphold aud pray for tba
success of the President and the Con?
stitution, they aro powerless in a po?
litical point of view at present to
render the assistance they would
otherwise cheerfully give them. But
they do not despair of the final result.
and have confidence that the right
will ultimately triumph, and the bad
men now trampling upon it will ba
swept from their position by an in?
dignant and patriotic people.

A speciul despatch to ?th?.' Augusta
Chronicle and Sentinel of tho 12th,
states that the President has pre?
pared, and will shortly send to Con?
gress, his veto of the hill for tho u?l
ruissiou of Colorado. It will be
remembered that some time ago the
President transmitted to Congress
tim Constitution adopted hy the
people of that new colony, with a
statement that their action was not in
accordance "with the provisions of the
Act of the^pretceding Congress in re?
lation to*?t territory^ We presume
th:vt, on sonic similar ground, he pro?
poses to veto the bill admitting it to
the union of these States.
This bill has given the radicals
some trouble; mid they were evi?
dently in ii quandary about. By?
passing it they would have gained two
Senators, giving them two-thirds; but,
,on the other hand, the Constitution
prohibited negro suffrage. Tltis was
their predicament, and Sumner, Ste?
vens & Co. took the latter end of tho
horn and let negro suffrage slide.
We ure gratified to leam, and hope
the news will be confirmed, that the
President hus determined to veto
this last attempt to supersede., the
Constitution and the Laws.

j South Carolinian), in Washington
The Washington correspondent c
the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel
speaking of the arrival of Wm. H
i Trescot, Esq., in that city, writes:
It is difficult to over-estimate th
j benefits that have occurred to th
I Palmetto State from the exertions c
j that gentleman in Government circle
! here. Peing widely und favorabl
' known in Washington, where, und?
j Buchanan, he was assistant Secretar
j of State, and being, withal, ;i man <
i enlightened views and rare schola:
ship, he commands a personal indi
ence here that few South Caroliniai
could hope to exert in these times ?
prejudice and sectional rancor. H
tact, patience and perseverance ha\
obtained from the authorities hei
many a boon for the people he ropr
seuts, which they might have sougl
in vain through a"\ other medium.
I Would that all the Southerners i
I Washington were equally zealous i
i the service of our suffering sectioi
! There is another South Carolinii
I here, of equal note, who is known t
! affiliate with the radicals, as again
tho President, and who blushes iii
to raise his voice in support of the i
famous proposition of the ('ommitb
of Fifteen. It may be that he seek
by a cringing acquiescence in the vi
; policy of the Congressional majorit
to crawl, ns a representative of "lova
South Carolina, into a seat by tl
side of Thaddeus Stevens.
We cannot conceive who that otb
! ''South Carolinian, of equal note
now in Washington, can be. We ha
thought of all the prominent 'nu
j from this State who are likely to 1

but have failed to "spot" the ina

We have already noticed the case
of tho cotton seized ai New Orleans,
und the conflict of jurisdiction be?
tween Gen. Canby and Judge Darrell,
and the order in the case received
from President Johnson. We ex?
tract with pleasure the following re?
marks from the Judge's decision ad?
journing the Court:
"And now, as I nm unable to carry
ont the laws as I deem I should, 1
adjourn this Court until a time when
the army shall have been removed,
and I being able to imprison and
punish as I judge is deserving in the
! premises.
"The Autocrat of the Kussias, with
the lives and property of his sub?
jects at his command, the Sultan of
the Turkeys, with his oriental vassals,
much less a major-general of a Re?
public like this, has not power such
as has been sought to bc enforced in
this case by the military. No such
power was found even with the com?
manders of the Roman Legion.
"I therefore adjourn this Court
until next Saturday, when I will
decide all cases pending now, when 1
will adjourn this Court indefinitely,
until such time as I may have power
to enforce the laws I am placed here
to expound and execute."
These arc manly utterances from
the bench, and does honor to the
high and just estimation the Judge
entertains for the distinguished posi?
tion he occupies.

"SAVE ME FROM MY FRIENDS. " - -The

; a paper published in the interest of

lowing sensible advice:
"Colored people of the South, lis

tates of common sense. Beware of
? false teachers, who come to you in
! the clothing of sheep, but inwardly
j are ravenous wolves. These men have
j no desire to see you on amicable terms
! with your white neighbors. They
? come to widen the broach already ex
i isting, and to make capital out of the
; dissensions in our midst. The mo
j ment a good understanding exists be
I tween you and the whites, that mo
1 ment their 'occupatio!' is gone;' but
if these speculators ruin attain

I Cultivate peace with all men. and es
I pecially with those with whom youl
I lot is cast, rather than those who arc
j here to-day and to-morrow may bc
I 'far away on the billow.' "

German Emigration-Immnue Eio. |
dna to thc United State*.
; The Fmnkfort-on-the-Main corres
j pondent of tho Cincinnati Commercial
i gives the following interesting items
j touching the immense German emi
I gration, present and prospective, to
j this country :
The emigration during this year to
the United States defies all calcula?
tion, and surpasses ail expectation.
Thc reasons for this unprecentcd
exodus are quite obvious, and arc
partly of foreign, partly of domestic
origin.
The most efficient missionaries you
have sent over to this continent, are
your five-twenty bonds. Not only
the capitalists and bankers, no, every
bur-koepcr, every maid-servant, have
invested their surplus in your securi?
ties, and have mado money by this
I investment. And six per cent, inter?
est in gold! That is more than any
j European loan or seeurityr pays, and
: their is neither discount nor delay in
I obtaining the semi-annual instal
I mcnts. This modus operandi had the
' desired effect. People, getting daily
: move disgusted with the complicated
: ?nd turbulent affairs ut home, look
inspired with hope and faith over to
your country, standing forthin bold
relief, adorned with the fresh laurels
of victory, and exhibiting inexhausti
, ble resources of future wealth and
comfort.
But, besides tl icsi! inducements,
there is the excess of population,
which necessitates thc emigration
now-a-days as in 470 A. 1). it caused
the emigration of the various nations
from Asia into Europe.
Germany, which is not much larger
than Texas and a slice of Louisiana,
has 37,000,000 of inhabitants. Prus?
sia has in her Eastern provinces, 19,
643,954; in her Western provinces,
5,311,790; Bavaria, 4,813,076; Saxo?
ny, 2,343,995; Hanover, 1,748,329;
Wurteniburg, 1.'.'4:1.772: Haden. 1.
426,218; the Electorateof Hess,-. 710,
889; the little Saxon Duchies to?
gether. 1,103,530; Brunswick. 208,
5211; Oldenburg, 244,457; Nassau.
468,311; Luxemburg, 202,9:57; Frank
forton the Main. ?2,244; Grand
! Duchy of Hesse. 871,839.
In spite of the steadily increasing
emigration since 1S40, the population
has only decreased in the Duchy oi
Hesse by 0.27; while in all the othei
States of the Sollverein the popula
tion, after the census taken Decem
i ber, 1864, compared with the om
i previously taken, has increased I vt
3bj percent. And how thickly an
I they settled! Take, for instance. Ba
\ varia-slit; has 51,000 inhabitants
viz: 25:5 cities. 410 towns; 2:5.60;
villages, 26,897 farms, castles, mill
and isolated laud-houses-in average
2151 persons on every English squar
j mile.
I That a part of this crowded am
I crammed population must look fo
i other homes and shelters, is obvious
Put the political affairs of German;
I adtl large numbers to these hordes c
emigrants. The (lennans in Bc
I hernia have lately been most outrag?
j ously insulted and persecuted by th
native Czhecs. National hatred an
I jealousy rose to such a height tin
! large musses of troops have been d?
spatched into Bohemia, in order t
j restore security and tranquility.
I In the Eastern provinces of Polis
: Prussia, the Poles are getting di
j gusted with the system that den;
: tionalizes their homes, and the favo
I able news they are steadily receivin
from their pioneers in America ei
I courages them to follow suit. Ov<
rtOO from the District of Sch?ben a:
on their way to Minnesota. In We
I tern Prussia, too. in the single Di
! triet of Tushel. over 7J famili
j have petitioned tin- Government fi
their passports, .tint will sail y
during the coming summer. The
is not tlie least doubt that, if the w
crisis will not interfere, Germany w
furnish, during 1806. a quota of
le.ist 300.000 emigrants.
A CONVENTION OK STATES.- Tl
proposition advanced in the Rejnd)
ran on Monday last, for a permano
; settlement of the many difficult issn
j arising out of the heriditary conti
! versies of this country, which ha
1 become still more complicated by t
i late war. has h.-en carefully canvass
by many of tin' h ading mon of t
i nation, who have received it with i
sped some of them entertaining !
; it a hearty approval. We have
i[ doubt that it will continue to grow

sorted to as the only method of p
sible peace and attainable adjustim
of our trouliles.

Our Hope for th?- Future.
We are still in the midst of revolu?
tion. The wager of buttle has been
determined, and the -weaker have
yielded to the stronger party in the
terms upon which it was declared the
war was being waged, but the work
of revolution has not stopped. The
dominant party in Congress, and
their co-adjutors in thc legislative
bodies of the States, have avowed
their purpose to revolutionize tho
form of Government established by
the fathers, and to which the Amer?
ican people have been educated and
are attached. If their efforts succeed,
it will be the end of free institutions
with ns, and the beginning of a cen?
tralized despotism or a state of an?
archy, of which we can have but a
faint conception at preseut.
We would fain believe that this is
not the work of the people, but of
usurpers; and that with a little more
time for the subsidence of passion
and the re. urn of the sober second
thought, they will dethrone these
enemies to free institutions and re?
assert the cardinal doctrines upon
which American liberty was esta?
blished, and as embodied in their or?
ganic law. Others, we know, are less
hopeful and see no relief from thc
manacles that are daily being forged
to enslaves them. To such we desire
to suggest that this is but the work
of the legislative branch of the Go?
vernment. The people of the North
have not yet been clearly tested upon
the questions as now presented. Wc
have much reason to hope that, not?
withstanding the sad degeneracy ol
public morals, they will not be sc
blinded to their own interests as tc
uphold the usurpations of tyrannj
and consent to a policy which, in thc
end. must ruin them as well as thc
unfortunate people of the South.
But we have even a stronger hopi
than this. In this, ns in the mothei
country, the Judiciary was designed,
and has generally proven the bulwarl
of our liberties. Thc- history of al
free Governments have demonstrated
that in times of great commotion
nothing was more dangerous thai
the excesses of majorities, and thu
their only protection against theil
own follies was in ?1 well organized
Judiciary; which, freed from the in
fluences of the political arena, am
educated to a sense of the dignity
and responsibility <>f their high office
would guard the great cardinal right:
upon which society is organized am
political im titutions are based. Wi
still have this last resort, both in tin
States and in the Federal Govern
nient upon which we may build :
hope for the preservation of liberty
We cannot but believe that the Ame
rican people will yet yield respect ti
this great umpire; and, notwithstand
ing tho changes it has undergone am
the efforts that have been made t
corrupt it. we have faith that the Ju
diciary of the country will prove
what it was intended to be, ?i barrie
against flus encroachments of factio
ami the excesses of majorities. Li
gislatiou may be unwise and delete
rious to tin; public good, but it i
never dangerous so long as it i
within the limits of the Constitutioi
When it goes beyond this it is th
province of thc Supreme J udioiary t
determine. If true to their office
then, the most obnoxious iegislatio
of the country. State and Fedora
will fail of its object. Let us m
yield to the falso notion that legisli
five bodies are omnipotent, and th;
all their unconstitutional proceee
ings will bo held as the law. Wha
ever our distrust of individuals mn
be, the Judiciary of the country In
not yet proven itself faithless to tl
high trust committed to its charo
and we firmly believe will not, ;
