The organs of the Republican party, and ite tnost distinguished leaders are attempting to fthow that there is no existing issue between Ihem and the President, and .that there,is no prot,ai>iiity ol u conflict between tbe Legislature and Executive departments of the Government. Yet in the face of these dfclarations, we have the very significant action of tlie House of Representatives upon the resolution ?flferad by Mr. WiHiams of Pennsylvania, nnd ndopted by a vote of ?4 to 37. proposing that no troops shall be withdrawn from the South, until it> the opinion of Congress it can be safely done. The design in thus divesting the President of ono of bis highest constitutional functions as Commander-in-Chief of the Army, is clearly to control him in a policy which it in supposed will militate with the interests of the dominant party. So clear a usurpation upon the prerogatives of the Executive, could only be prompted bv a Wflll-rronniM ( nnviotinn the radical antagdniam which exists between the poh'cy of the President nod that of the Republican party. Between the policy of the President and that of the Radicals in and out of Congress, the points of difference have been distinctly defined and clearly announced. The President assuming that the Southern States are now cs ever, existing political bodies?that they arc now ns before constituent parta of the Union? would at ODCe restore them to their former rights, and to that especially -which Congress now refuses, a participation in the uationnl leg islation. The dominant party on the other hand, ignoring the existence of these Stales. I and denying that they are in the Union, would impose upon them as the terms of re-ndmiesion, conditions, whioh would render nugatory the Tights and immunities which the Union was J -J ? * * to Ht'cuie Accaruiai{ 10 mc programme of Mr. Greely. th<-y are to he deprived of the ordinary functions of legislation?tliex are cot to touch the National or Rebel debts, nor concur in legislation with Northern sympathizers ip 0};pndit:0n to tlie Republican par. ty. Above all they are to guaiantee civil and po,itic.?l equality to the black. T'i'S is iiow t!<e watchword of iho party. Congrers it. about making the District of Columbia a model for a fre* black community.

Those are all part* of the same scheme to perpetuate the power of the dominant faction, and to exclude the South fiom oil participation in the govern tnent of the country. It is di*ctly iu conflict with that euoune^dby the President, And which seeks an eArly restoration of the South to its former status iu the Union. "W^lat the tone and temper of Congress is viiuici) uiicuiicmuiury, me -rresiaoDC seema equally resolved in Ins purposes, and exhibits a composure and apparent confidence which augurs well Tor the success of his.policy. Armed With the Tett> power, and the support which he can command in the Senate, together with the patronage of hii bigli office, he can protect us at.present against unjust legislation, and in the final appeal to the publio opinion of the country may secure for us. just and equal rights ia the Union. Negro Sckkhaoe in thc District or ComjjiAdvices from Washington show that the Bill giving unrestricted suffrage to the negroes of the District of Columbia lias finally passed the House by a vote of llB to 50, and this too in the face of the rccent overwhelming popular rote of the Dietritt in opposition to the meat are.

The measure to us is oLjo.prac-, tical moment, but derire* ita significance to us from showing'the animus of the party. It is the first step_ in ? programme which is to end in depriving* the States of th?sir Constitutional right to'deterraina the qualification of voters and to force black suffrage upon the South.

The official correspondence on the Mexican question recently presented to Congress, removes *11 Jaubt as to the position of the administration on this subject, The ultimatum proposed to the French Emperor, is rhe withdrawal of liia troops from Mexico as the iftdtopensible conditio^ to the maintenance of friendly relations between the UoitHd States and France. It appears that so Inug ago as the 17th July last, the French Minister Count MontholoDi who had culled at the State Department, in ra lation to the reception of a special agent and certain oTDlanatorv rianer# from thn Kmn?rnr Msxiraillian, Was distinctly notified, that noitlier tlie agent nor hio papers could be received as this Government was in friendly communication with the republic of Mexico. Again in reply to a confidential letter submitted to our Government through the Frcnch Minister, proposing to withdraw the French troopd on the condition of our recognising the Emperor Maximilian, Mr. Seward says: that 'ha regrets to be obliged to eny that J.he oondition which the Emperor (Napoleon) prcsentB ia one which seems to bo impracticable;' and ostein (December 1C) he writes substantially that, while the United States desires to cultivate sincere friendship! win. .Koh ~.;n ?1..~ gercd by licr persisting in the Miiximilinn monarchy, inasmuch ns we cannot recognize Maximilian, even if tho French trftops supporting him fire withdrawn." Our Government thus distinc ly insists upon the withdrawal of the French troops nnd nt the same time refuses to recegnizo the title of the Mexican Emperor. In thus insisting upon the enforcement of the Monroe doctrine, it would soeiu that the administration entertains no fears if n collision with France, and so far from making preparation for war is now disbanding its armies. The latest advices all point to the early withdrawal of the French troops from Mexico. The Emperor Napoleon is no doubt very desirous of extricating him.?elf from tho embarrasmenta of hit position, and is only awaiting seme cood pretext Tor doing to. It .is now insisted that ibo Frcnch occupation ot Mexico was only designed to be temporary. Sny? the Jfonileut : "When the French government presented it" self in that country its oljjeet -was solely and wholly to enforcc. us the United States themselves had previously dooe, a whole series of claims which bud been treated with ineoleni disregard. Circumstances which it whb not in the power of Napoleon III. to prevent obliged him to declare war iigainst the government which then held power in Mexico. That governienl fell ; another has succeeded it, sprung frt-m universal suffrage. France via* naturally obliged to defend against insurrectionary attacks the administration which alone could secure the reparation of her just grievance. The French Cabinet bis ebuwn b} nil lis acts, an by all its declarations, whai were the objects it puisurd. Ii has no anna at conquest, and it baa taken nothing, rcceptcd nothing; it desires to retain iiuiiimg ui uic vt-i. fucpi "i country oi'cu|u?i >V ii* troops. Its occupation as it is 11010 undtr stood in the Unit, d States, is purely a temporary one. and trill cease with the causes which created it."

Mr. Editor:?I~hav# given some account of the firat chapter of the book under review. The aecoud presents "twenty leading 'eventa* thai may be expected to occur during the cloaing seven years and two and a half montha of the Christian Dispensation." The two and n half months, or seventy-five days, is a period often mentioned.by our ^uthor. It makes up the difference between the "time, times, and a half," or twelve hundred and sixty years and the thirteen husdred and thirty-fivo yeare, or. days, of Daniel xii: 7-12. Mr. Baxter has his year-days and literal* days. For example, every, day in the twelve hundred and sixty days (Rev. xii: G) stands for a year. Theso are year-days, and during this long period of twelve hundrod and sixty years ten prophesies of Daniel and Revelation hare been fulfilling. Corresponding to these year-days, there is to be twelve hundred and sixty literal-days, during the seventieth or last week of Diniels sev. enty weeks. The Events of this last, or seventieth week have not yet transpired, according to Baxter, uor will they bo fulfilled until the Jews are restored to Palestine a? a nation liach day of this seventieth week stands for at year, making seven y<-ars ; -and during the last half of these seven years, that is for twelve hundred and sixty literal days astounding events will occur. %&.' Mr. Baxter mentions twenty of these "Eventa" and if the Jirxt occurs, the rest are likely to follow, proving his views of Prophesy to bo correct. I shall Btnte as briefly as possible thcao twenty events? Evtnt I. The confirmation of a seven year# covenant between Napoleon and the Jews, (Daniel ix: 27. Event 11. Renewal of the Jewish sacrifices aud temple-worship at Jeiusalem nine months, or nine months and twenty-five days after the Covenant, (Daniel viii: 13, 14. Event III. The complete drying-up of the Turkish Empire, consisting partly of the separation of Syria from Turkey, within two or tluee years after the Covenant. Event IV. The successful invasion of Egypt by Napoleon within two or three years after the Covenant. Event V. Tho coming of Christ in the air, the resurrection of the- sleeping saints, and the Translation of the one hundred aud forty four thonsaud Wiso Virgins (or Mauchild Rev. xii: 5.) about two years and from four to six weeks alter the Covenant, (Rev. xiv: 1?5. I Then, iv: IC. 17.) Euent VI. An unprecedented revival of Religiou hd J of Missionary effort among the fool j ish virgin?, and tho unconverted that are left on ths eaith, will follow the Translation of the Wise Virgins, (Rev. xiv: 6.) Event VII. Commencement of astounding Physical Phenomena, such as hail, fire, ?tc-, (Rov. viii.) Event VIII. War in Ileaven, and expulsion of batiiD aud his legions from the air on to the earth. Event IX. Flight of many Saitils into the wilderness. most probably some remote region of the United States. (Rev. xii; C?14Event X. The full of Babylon, or transformation of Popery into wbaUmay be termed Napoleonism, (Rev. xiii ) Event XI. Acquirement hy Napoleon of Supreme Power ov i-r Grout Brituin and in a lees degree over Ameiica, (Rev, xiii nnil xvii.) Event XII. Division of the entire Territory of the old Roman Empire into ten Kingdom's, OftiU Britain, France, &>pnin Ac., under Napoleon's Lordship, (Rev. xvii: 1*2.) The foregoing events fall out during the first three and a half years, or half week of Daniels seventieth week. The remaining eight events k.. ,1.1.- j - -- > uiv w /pin uiinn^ * iic i?uuiiu inreo anil a half years of the seventieth week or twelve hundred and sixty literal days. This period is cnlled The Great Tribulation. To state the Events at length would occupy too much spsce. They nro briefly, "The assault upon Jemealem by Napoleon the Anti-christ, and the substitution of the worship of hi* image in the place of the Jewish sacrifices. The Prophesying of the two witnesses, Elijah and Enoch or Moses. The first, second and third woea; the conversion of millions; the darkeuing of tho Constellations and great Earthquake, and thecoiniugof Christ in the olonds of Heaven. The seven year's Covenant between Louis Napoleon and the Jews is to constitute the starting-point for these twenl) Events. It Is expected that this Covenant will be made be tween this and the sixteenth of next Ootober, then theseven yearn and two and a half months tvonlri frnm ft *> Bat il Napoleon should not make the Covenant at all, what then! Why Mr. Baxter and other writers who agree with him will be greatly mistaken if not disappointed, and mast look ont for some other Personal Anti-ehrist and universal, persecuting Monarch. Time wiil develop the course of Events, and after what has happened in our own land, for the last lew year#, we need not be surprised if Napoleon enters into Covenant with the Jews in a year or two. Mi*. Baxter savs, "The recent French expedition to Syria shows Napeleon's intention to obtain possession of Jerusalem ; and in taking this step he is only carrying out the place of the first Napoleon, who convened an assembly of the Jews at Paris, and meditated their restorut inn tr% P?1i>alin/?

It it generally understood that the lote resoluiioD.adopted in Congrett, recommending the continued occupation of th? late rebel 8tates by United mates troop*, emanated from the War Office, and that Secretary Stanton aides with the radicals in their policy of a long and rigid probation to the States concerned. as the price of their readmisoion to Congress. Gsn. Grant., on the other hand, as he has declared himself in his report ou the subject, submitted by th^ President to the Senate, believes that the excluded States should be restored to Con gress without further delay. True, he has bitten a letter, as it appears, recommending the continuance of federal troops in the States concerned, and tho exclusion of their local militia in the mnintenance of order for the time being; but General Grant'* idea is to (tip port tli* civil authorities of the Slates, and not to supersede and keep them down by the military arm of the government. ,In this matter General Grant's recommendation is in harmonj with President Johnson's policy. Their object is to assist the civil authorities of the excluded Southern States in their work of reconstruction, and to get them back into Congress at soon as possible, while the policy of the Secretary of War and the radicals in to Iceepthoss States out of Congress and out of our national political elections as long as possible. If the republican party is wise it will adhere to the policy of Julinion and Giant and abandon the suicidal programme of Stanton and Stevens. The Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel of tlie 1011 met., remarks: The position taken by Gen Tilson, the head of tho Freedmen's Bureau ic this State, "if negroes will not make contract! we will make contracts for thein," and what ii belter, compel them to work, has had a gone rflfect. Those freedinen inclined to be idle finding out that they have f?ot to work nn\ way, are luok'mg around for ?omething to do Wa hope after tlie time General Tilsnn hoi Darned for tliem to find places of craployineni has expired, that he will enforce his ordei strictly.
