MEXLO-O%- Maximilien Going Back to His Capital. Basaine Refuses to Let Him Leave Mexico Unless He Formally Abdicates. BEW ISSUES AND COMPLICATIONS. QUR HAVANA CORRESPONDENCE. Havana, Nov, 8, 1866. ‘There can be very jittle or no doubt that Maximilian's ftention, when he left the capital of Mexico, was to proceed to Vera Croz for the express purpose of “tvamosing’’ altogether, and abandon forever the un- Bappy country which has cost him so much trouble, ‘without fruit to any one. That he should have come to Wat determination, and above all fu his present afflictions, ‘Without ono friend to console him, can surprise no one. But Marshal Bazaine, it appears, sent @ despatch by @pecial messongor after him pointing out the impropri- ty, not of relinquishing a crown which he was not en- titled to, but of abandoning the country in a shabby manner and without making @ formal abdication. The marehal not only pointed out the expediency of doing @0, but the absolute necessity of Maximilian return. fag to the capital without one moment's delay, cise the Marchal could notjanswer for the consequences, Both to Maximilian and the people. Such is the infor. mation I have gleaned from the sonrce alluded to, and en which I feel full reliance (if anything from Mexioo eau be relied upon), not only because my informant was @lopely connected wich government matters in Mexico, ‘Dut also because the whole was related and explained to me with o rpirit of great impartiality and consideration for Maximilian’s misfortunes throughout thie Mexican juddie, From a similar source I hear it hinted that ne’s ambition was to be named Regent, during the ge | ot young. Yturbide, whom he would propose as. rightful successor of Maximilian. This and many.

His district, his State and bis national government follow tn turn; the Iast being the weakest, But, sir, these are the instinets, the In- born sentiments of the mind, and require education before the man can see that by defending the national government he defends all the others, This education ‘we have to give to Mexico, It ts the next great lesson we have to learn.’ We ey apply this reasoning to some portions of the United States and profit by it, n cee be ie Soya #ANTA AXNA, From the time of Yturbide to 1838 the cry of every revolutionary party was @ ‘“viva’’ for some champion who could lead it, At that date rose the party of liberty and reform, President Juarea was then a snb- Neutenant and the Yeas Minister of War a captain. After three years of war and successful effort for the eatabjishment of ig oe not men, the man who com- manded their armies, Santa Anna, betrayed the whole cayse to the church party, and for eight years after they were unable to make any great organized effort. The seed of r had, however, been planted; the eyes of the people had been directed in the channel of princi- ples, not men, and slowly ft began to bear its fruit’, The grand revolution of reform made headway, and from the first crude constitution of Mexico camo the constitu. tion of 1957, One more effort of the retrograde party— the clergy—and they were driven to the wall. In 1861 the erent revolution of reform was complete, In go far as elements exit in Mexico could be found to oppose it. The Freach invasion is here looked upon only ag 8 part of the preat pattie whic! ang is waging with retro- gronsion, It is deemed that the Freach invasion will resuli iv benefit to the country, The retrogrades, who, in 1861, had pent all their money in opposition to the Iberals here, it is now sald, lost all their honor also by the introduetion of French bayonets, JUAREZ WILL GO TO DURANGO, Tt ts expected that Durango will fail within two weeks.

To one formerly acquainted with the Virginian predi- lection for politics’ it appears quite strange that so little interest is now felt by the great masses of the People of Virginia in regard to the complexion of national affaira, A fecling of apathy seems to have pos- sensed all minds in this region, and 16 ts utterly im- possible to geta man of any calibre to argue political topics, If they be referred to at all it fs with a smile which seems to imply “to the dogs with your national relations and your politics.” There is only one wish with the poople generally, and that is that the radicals “run their own machine,’ as it is called, until “ditch her,’ and then they think the Northern poll vemgare 9 have time to look about upon the ruins they have lo be willing to acoept the talent avd 4 courage of the vithern mind to help them establish government upon an enduring basi. Ihave re cently heard it asked by an intelligent Vir- ginjan why it was thal the radicals had asked the Sonth to adopt the constitutional amendment if they could force her to accept harsher terms than are contemplated by thisamendment, Said he, ‘If the North can force upon us woreo terms than the ‘amendment ombodies, Ce sage they force the amend- pape ocitinn nas * Ifthey are willing to recocuize 9 rights of the Southern people uy ir acceptance of this solution of the country’s troubles, it would be the part of charity to bo as lenient with us as possible in view of the sufferings we have already gone through, If upon the rejection of this amendment by the Legis!a- tures of the Southern States the party proceed to the infliction of harsher terms than they now ojfer in this amendment, it must be apparent to every one North and South that in that policy, whatever it may be, thoy will be actuated by , and not by those principles of justice which patriots and statesmen will always con- in logislating for their people.”” There are thousands entertain re these views in Vir- ginis.

Your committee have serions doubts as to the propri- ty of discussing the proposed amendments to the const! tation of the United States. They are presented to us without the authority of the constitution, and it has oo- curred to us, that as the dignity and rights of Georgia might be compromised by a consideration of the merits of the proposed amendments, that the pgeee course would be to lay them upon the table or indefinitely poet- pone their consideration without one word of di We #ball depart frum this course only #o far asto give the reasons which, to our minds, forbid discussion upon the merits of the proposed amendments, ‘The argument resolves itself into a few «imple propo- sitions: —First, if\deorgla is not a State composing a part of the federal government kuown as the government of the United Statea, amendments to the constitution of the United States are not properly before thie body; seoond, if Georgia is a State, comporing a part of the federal government known as the government of tho ‘United States, then these amendments are not propored accord’ pg to the requirements of the federal coust!- tution, and aro propored in scch a manner as forbids this House from acting or é!scuasing the merits of the amendments, In discusaing these propositions we will evdeavor to establish, firat, that Georgia is a State of the United States, coequal with ail the other States of the Federal Union, and, therefore, entitled to ail the rights and priv- Heyes of any and every other “tate under the federal constitution; second, that these amendments have not been proposed in either of the methods required by tho fifth article of the constitution. We do not propose to dirouss whether any political organization, except a State of the Union, can constitu- tionally consider amendments to the constitution, be. cause by the dtth article proposed amendments become a part of the constitution of the United States when rati- fled by the Legislatures of three-fourths of the several States, or by conventions in three-tourths of the States, ‘a8 the one or the other mode of ratification may be pro- posed by the Congress. With thia citation we shall dis mise what seems to us to be a self-evident proporition. It might with propriety be said that tho affirmative of the aecoud proposition: ‘1 ja one of the United States?” might rest upog, that the constitational amendments ha been sabmnitted to the Logix lature of Georgia for ratification or rejection, but in view of the fact that the redical party, now dom!- nant at the North recognizes the’ status of the seceding States as States whenever such re- cognition is necoseary to & surrender of rights, and denies the proposition whenever the recognition ie essential to their maintenance, it may not be ont of place to recur to the history of the federal government, in order to define the relation of Georgia to the several States of the American Vion. Neighboring States cer. tainly have no inherent right to contro! the political con- dition of each oth This beng the case, thirteen States, formeriy colonies of Great Britain, formed a po- lieal alliance and established a government called the United States of America. Georgia was one of the origi. nal thirteen, Certain politica! powers were delegated to the general government, and certain other served to the States respectively. The del powers were expressed in a written instrument con- stitntion of the United States, aud Fi the of the 4 government to im any ‘way upon tl6 interest of the several States composing the Union is derived from inatrai ex tor bi ae lear state when the was one of the original States was created, Georgia then, being one Staten, haa never ceased to oceupy tl sister States unless by the constitution, or by implication, she bas reserved to 4 the pomp phere rane fi other Feorgle have the ght to secede?” Gaorsin wufpowed ea ot it creation that she lad to ean I a .

What was thet cause?

The powers of legislation aro defined tn the eighth section, and no power ia given to Congrens to legislate a State out of the Union ; and while by the third aection of the fourth article the Congress tay admit a now State formed ont of the terrilory of the United States or foreign territory, there is no clause of that instrument which Congress or Any other power can trausform a Btate into a territory. Thou as Georgia was ove of the original thirteen States which formed the Union, and could noltner withdraw from it uor be legisiated out of tt, her federal relations being only suspended during the rebellion, she must neceaaarily continue to be ons of the United Btater, and Ss such hor yolations to the federal rpment and to her sister States ts defined by tho constitation of the United States, and this relation cannot be changed, nor the terms of the constitution altered in any way except io © of the modes provided in that tnstrament by the States thomselvea. 2 Are these amend. ments conatitationally — proj ? By the ffth article of the constitution the United States two nodes are prescribed for proposing amondmenta—one by appitcation of the res of two-thirds of the States to the Gor the other by a vote of two. thirds of the Congress, Lf proposed they become amend. ments when ratitied by the Lagislataras of three-fourths of the several States or by conventions of three-fourths of the States, as the one or the other mode of ratifcation may be direoted by Congresa, . Have these amendments heen proposed by two-thirds of the Congress of the United States? Georgia, In con. Jonction with her sister States, by the firat nection, frat article of the constitntion, declared that all legislative powers herem granted shal! bo vested in a Congress of the United States, whieh shail congist of a Senate and Honse of Represontat! The sccond section presoribea the mode of re-sleetin, members of Congress, and declares that Georgia shalt have at least three members of the Honse of Repre sentatives and two Senators, and that her representation shall be Increased from time to time on a certain basis therein named, upon which basis of representation sho ia now entitled to seven members ta the repreecatative branch. By the Ofth article it {9 provided that she abal! never be deprived of her equal suffrage in the Senate without her consent. Thus, by the constitution of the United States, in virtue of which instrument alone has avy uther State or government any right to interferp with her external or internal political relations, the Sénatory and Ropresontatives of Goorgia form an integral part of tho Congress of the United States, The eame reasoning applies to the other ten. States whose practical refations to the federal government wero for atime interripted; thoy were, like Goorgia, either original states by whom the government was created, or States since admitted upon terms of equality under rules prozonted by the original thirteen. aring the war Congreas conid be constitutionally con Feued without the representation from thers States, be cause they were voluntarily absent and the States fatied to elect representatives, [twas for this reason that the amendiqonta abolishing alavery were coustitutionally proposed, and in ratifying thein Georgia yielded no po- itieaigprincipie, a n wal sacrifice was demanded of her, aud sho aid it as a peace offoring on tho altar of our ‘comme country. Biles the reorganization of the State government Meor- gin has elected Sovatora and Representatives. 80 Las every othor Stal i ly refused ission to not on the ground the aa!ifications of ners elected did not conform to fourth paragraph, sec section, first article of the con on, but because their right of representation w a portion of the Stato rgbte than forcibly exci gisiative power grauted ngross 1 dodned, and this po ieion Ls powers granted expressly or by implication. y at the Capitol of Represent. atives from a port of the States, to the oxcitalon of the Representatives of another portion, cannot be a con sence Congress when the a of each ‘hole, » Georgia for ratification itution which authorizes U the Congress to proj amendments, We ‘ored to establish that Georgia had a right In he Congress, to act upon the pendinents be proj ’ ate had the same right. ar HA constitutional privilege baa been abitrarily dented, and therefore the second should be promptly declined. " Had these amendments been gubu to & constitutional Congress thoy never would have been proposed to Stator, Two-thirds of the whole Congress never would have proposed to ele Plates voluntarily to reduce their potitien! power in the Union and at the same timo disfranchioe the Inrger portion of the intelio-t, Integrity and patriotism of eleven coeqoal States, Had they been const 'tationally proposed, eveo then the Logisiature of Goorgia, acting for itself, never would, as it never will, ratify an ameudinent by which the State will be shorn of political power and « portion of her best citizens branded with dishonor. If we have heen snceeurful in establishing onr pre- mises the conclusion necessarily follows that Georgiacan only act npon th a qeet on as & State, one of the mem- ders of the United States government; that ax such State these amendments are uot properly before ber, not har- ing been proposed by a constitutional Congress; and to act upon them when proposed in any other way would be to portic|pate in setting aside Lhe constitution and to establish ag a precedent that the mandates of the coust!- tation are subordinate to the will of the federal Lagisia- ture. The evi ie directed at Georgia to-day-—to morrow in some other shape, when a now rerty gets into power, it may be directed with equa! force against States now free from its Infinence. Tp recominending that (hese amendmerts be rejected for the reasons stated your committee are animated by no captions spirit. If material racrifices were demanted to promote harmony Georgia would in the future, an in the past, stand ready to make the offering, but, in the opinion uf your committe, the State should not yield her coustitutional rig! thereby end) Beery other excluded ry mont guecess, can only wait thetr origtual relations to each other, We recommend the adoption of the following resolu- tion — vives L a waren of the Unite PERSONAL WNTELLIGERCE.
