Tam wed #atished with the result of our election—we may consi€ee it a tia—the 100,000 majority whieh, when wo were WFogethera Union war party elected Brouzh our Goved.or, bas been driven off by a few radical lead- ers, whee the rep ns in the two houses bave al- owed te rule aod pe pa ruin them, There is a very jlarze wuimber of old ime whigs, and of tose who in- bert their prepossessions and opinions, who went with tho spublicans ut thé late ole tion in all things except tho constitutional amendmout, because they feared to place power in the handset their old admirers, the democrats, whilo Chey bearuly disapproved the extreme ratieal policy of the repubiican party, This class of voters is very nearly num 1 in tho difference be- jf tween the atic «= vu for Governor and the vote ihe Constitutional amendment. On tne the resnit shown thas if anow election were to take pl once, it would be in the pywer of the conservatives to give a large una jority to evther side at pleasure. This may or may nod be the cave a yeurto come; either party when in power may, within that ume, ntterly destroy itself past the ility Of rescue. ‘Tae present teadency of th with the repabhean party, if ce lo What they know to be the reeall their proveriptive mandat of tho southera S ates t parcy will, in obadie will of the leave the in inguty, and desist from forcing on them negro su and quast-nesro, quasi-military ruc, This they will do it they read aright and profit by the le-soa which has just been tangas them. The two propositions, pamely, tuat of giving su io the blacks, and denying it to the whites as a punishment for past political | and military oilences, were for the tirst time sabinitied to the people aud their opinion asked upon them at tue late election of Odio, Ohio was si das the most decidedly radieal among the great S and the ques- tons wer put to her people, first of all, in the confident expeciauon that ¢ au(borty would be obtained tor fasteulng the Reconstroetion acts on the South, and ex- tending them over the border Stazes, under te aseump- tion that the government of no Siate can be repabtican that dves not admit negro saffrags and proscrioe men woo have deen rebels, Both these questions were in- volved and discussed im the Obio eiection, the republi- can orators iasisting that it won!d be inconsistent and 4 to enjorce pegro suffrage oo the South and pot aceopt It for ourselves, This was manifestly true; we could not, with any pretence of political Justice, place ie South under negro goveromer', by adiniiting all black and excluding 80 many white voters as would wive ibe negroes a majority everywhere, and at the vame time refuse to autfer 7.000 negroes to vote in Obio, with 500,000 white voters to control them. When the people of Ouio refused to accept negro sutfrago as @ part of their own avetom, they were guiity of Lo inconsistency and injustice—they had inflicted hei\her proscription wor negro suffrage on the South—so as it had been executed, it was tue act of their pub- lic vervants, and they, by this vote, refused it their sanction. This was the response of the forty thousand Majority who voted against the constitaiional amend- meat, Ch prove prosoription for past political or raittal co+, and they disapprove of the at- tempt to force negro snifraxe vpon ag nawilling people, T have ao doaby a large majority of tue republicans in the two houses ef Congress in their opinions and {ei- ings are conservative; that, as 8 mater of choice, they would prefer for themselves and their bors whe to o rurers, and woult soothe and heal the wounds of the Union than to aggravate and indame them. Fortunate. jy for them and ior the nation, the Ohio election bes shown, before it was too iate, tnat it mil consist with the will of the people to act in accordance with such feelings and couvietions 1 therefore most earnestly hope that tbe con- servative repudlicans of Congress will de- throne their despotic ieaders, keep out of those pens of political bondage called Congressional caucusea, and take controlgof the twojhouses; for they can do it read- ily, if exch and ali will but Keep themselves free to | Vote and act according to their couvictions, and thus represent each his district, 1astead of all representing a caucus, And they should at once rescind all measures Which operate as mere ioslt and annoyance to intelil- gent men of the south; give over the effort to establish begro government by tue disfrenchisement of the ; Tepeal thelr ordmances pacing the Southern es under mihtary government, and make the mili- there again subordinate to the civil power, and re- ww where the constitution places it, under the con- Executive the Ae and ten exeiuded States, not making party adhesion a test of either qualifeation or loyalty. They will thea bave the uid and counsel of the wisest and best men of those States, and reeonsiraction will be possible, an‘, io time, eifectual, bere will still be for a whe disturbance, riots, ¢ of violence, and perhaps local insurrections; forthe public mind, which tended | to setile down in peace after the clos> of the war and | under the President's pian of restoration, has been again greatly agitated; and. unhappily, the inea most inter- | ested in re-establishing order, the men of Intelligence, men of property, men who by thelr position in society bad influenco over ihe ignorant and unreasoning masses are placed under the ban of the Umion, and tvus rom dered powerless; and ail te lett in the bands of a dieor- derly mu!titade, except in so far as they are restrained by militery force.

Such seams tv have been the views and feelings which dic- {| tated the action of the President, and recant develop- nents give nav right to conclude that a majority of the Ration will approve them.

The mea- sure, a8 I view it, i8 unwise and outawful as to them, and unjust and degradiag to of the North who never repelied. Carry it into effect and it gives to the planu tion negro of the South a large excess of power in the government of the Union over that enjoyed by one of our Northern citizens, For example: the proscription of the whites gives to the negroes in Louisiaua, eifi- oieptiy, the power of the State in the locai and also in the general goverament, and the State is to bave power in the Union dae to its whole population, white and Diack. The consus of 1860 gives Louisiana an aggregate population of 703.090, composed of 357,000 whites and 351,000 blacks, Tne State, therefore, will be entitied, unger the reconstraction resvlutions, to seven Repreven- tives in Congress, of which 351,000 blacks will be the whole efficient constituency—tho white men who can read and write aud cipher as far as the rule of three baving no more to do with it than their mules and horses, So that fifty thousand manumitted siaves seod a member to Congress, and one bandred thousand citizens of Ohio do tne same thing, and no more. One manumiited planta- tion negro in Louisiana will, therefore, have poiltical power in the House of Reproveutatives equal to two cliizens of Obio, and the preponderance will be consider- ably greater, in the electoral college, for President. The turee hundred and filty-one (housand Louisiaoa negroes Will be entitied 10 two Sonators—two miltion three bun- dred thousand citiene of Obio aro entitied to two, Qne Louisiana negro will, therefore, bare political power in the Senate more than equal to six of ourcitizens.

In this district, comprising thg elty, of the electors chosen on the 224 of septdtpber forty voted for Porfirio Diaz aud thirty-oto for Juargs, For President of the Supreme Cotrt Lerda de Tojada re- cotved & small majority, As regards the question of reform, but @ portion of tne fuspectors in the various precincts returned the vote; as far as reported it stood 456 for and 1,703 against. The electers did not feel themselves authorized to suppty the deficiency, and therefore no returns were made. In the Second district of the State, composing the village of Cadererts and its adjunets, the vote was unanimous for Juarez—the num- ber of eloctors forty-eight, For President of the Su- preme Court Lerdo de Tejada received forty votes, The reform vote stands—for, 2,723; against, 1,493. The Third district, which includes Linares, has not been beard from, but there is little doubt that the great majority of the electors have voted for Juarez and for the reforms proposed by him, In the fourth and last district the vote stands as foilows:—For Juarez, 61; for Poriirio Diaz, 3; for Presideat of the Supreme Court Lerdo do Tejada has 59 votes, The-reform vote stands aa foliows:—For, 163; against, 1,564. 1 havo been thus particular in specifying the votes of the various districts in the State ag they may be regarded as an evidence of the popular sentiment throughout the States of the Northern frontier. In this section of the country, where there are peither telegraphs nor railroads, this news necessarily travels very slowly, and nothing has as,yet been received from the other States There is no doubt, however, but that Juarez will recoive a large majorigy on the frontier, whatever may be the result elsewhere. The result on the reform vote somewhat asionisbes the enemies of Juarez, as they had confidently counted on its being almost unanimously defeated, and even his frieuds regarded it as @ fatal mistake. “The large vote in iia favor, therefore, baa excited considerable surprise, 1 think the explanatioa lies in the fact that in the rural districis the prestige of Juarez is sufficient to carry any- tbing with it, and the People, without stopping to con- sider the effect of it, wili sustain any measure he may propose; while in the iarge cities, whore the lotelli- gence of the country 1s centered, the reverse is the case, Be Unis as it may, tne friends of Juarez are well satisfied it That as will ~ | and have no doubt of his trumphant re-election.

It is ramored that a friend of his residing in Laredo, Texas, had learned of bis whereabouts and bad collected a body of men and crossed the river to his aassiance. Be tnis as it may, doubt that he iy now safe on the American tha: his enemies will hear from Guim sooner or later, as he 1s one of the most active and energotic of the reactionary party. A court martial has been couvened for the trial of Torvino and the pro- ceeding:.are dragging their ‘ailing to bear from the capital before any is made. The general impression is that be will be shot, I regret 0 announce the severe illness of Manuel E, zy the present Acting (ioveroor of the Staie, Fears are entertained for his recovery and much natural aoxi- ety is felt by the community, by whom he is greasy respected.

Tue accounts which have reached bere are doubtless exaggerated, but that a terrible calamity bas happened te beyond question. According to the official report from Cotone!

T asked him, first, if, in bis opinion, the action of the President in submitting amendmenis to the coustitation to the peopic contrary to the terms of tuat iustrument, in giving the right to vote and to hold oilice to the priests would be sustained. In response he ignored my ajlufion to the unconstitutionality of Lue Convocato- ber} nd stated ‘it would oe extremely hazardous to au- pate the result, ag it entirely depends ou the action of ‘the forthcoming Congress, which, under our institutions, ig the ouly competent power te decide questions of this character.

Without intending to comment on the remarks of the General, but rather to leave tho reader to draw his own conclusions, I will Say bere that Che auewer led me wo the conciusioa that be did not regard the submis- sion of the question of reform by Juarez as likeiy to have any effect whatever. I then aliudea to the impression generally rife that there are throughout the republic bad and ambitious men who cannot be controlied by the estadlighed gov- ernment, and thet pronunciamentos and consequent civil war will result hereaiter as heretotoré; to which be responded, ‘I ain strongly of tue couviction that tho military chiefs who actually wield ihe arms of the re- public, aod who are the same that in our uaequal con- Lest sustal tne rignts of the people, are all worthy men, and that they apdersiand the necessity of tor the prosperity of the country under republican tutions, and therefore I am weil assured that.in un son With tuc people, whoze good sense is not to be ques- tioned, they would suppress any attempt which might be made by any adventurous or ambitious man, who could be notmiag wore than syme abortion of the conquered party.

As the law now stands the courts have no’ power to enforce their judgments, as Congress by tne act of March 3, 1863, section 12, took away the power of the courts to issue executions upon its judgments when it should appear that the Collector acted under instrue~ tions of the Secretary of the Treasury in exacting the dunes; and provided that the Secretary of the Treasury suould pay the judgm-uts out of the proper appropria- tions trom the Treasury. But as Mr. McCulloch ntterly refuses to conform to the plain provisions of the law and sets at deflance the will of Congress and the de t-ion of the courts, noth! remains but for Congress prompity to pass an act whic! will restore to the judicial tribunals the power to en- force its decisions.
