THURSDAY DECEMBER 21, 18C3 TO MEMUKR8 UP COAGUESS Senators and Representatives can hae the Daily National Republican dellrereilreg ularly and promptly at their residence?, tn wrajper$, by ordering It through the Secre tary of the Senate, tho Clerk of the Uouie of Representatives, or at tho office of tho Re i-udlicak, No. 511 Ninth street, near Perm sylvania avenue UEPUESENTATIVKS FROM THE RRUKL STATKS. Tt Is probable that there are persons in the United State who suppose that the rebel States, when admitted to the privileges of representation In Congress, will support tho Union party and sustain the Administration of President JortMsox Nothing is mure im probable. The people of tho rebel States are naturally hostile to tho party and men that hare boon chiefly Instrnmental in sup pressing the rebellion Dy old associations, as well as by their hopes of the future, the people of the South will join the remnant of the Democratic party of tho North. Eene ciallyis this likely to happen if the Union party of the loyal States should be dlrided and weakened, or its chances of success in IbC8 rendered hopeless or even doubtful. On tho other hand, should the Ideas of tho Union men of the free States bo so far accepted and followed as to preserve the integrity of the Union party, then Its success Is already made certain, and consequently tbo peo ple of the rebel States will be lod to ally themselves to tho dominant party This surely Is the tendency of human na ture Hence we see clearly what a vise policy dictates Congress and the President should, and undoubtedly will, act In all mat ters relating to the rebel States in such a way as to satisfy tho masses of Union men of tho country This policy renders political sucoess certain. While this Is not the highest consideration, It should not be overlooked, and we cannot doubt that the President and Congress will bo guided, as far as practicable, by a policy at once wise and just, regardless of Imprudent and rash suggestions frcm an; source. THE FRENCH IN MEXICO. We are happy to be able to announce that the following dispatch, sent from this city to tue flew York Evening rot on the 10th Inst , Is based, upon more substantial truth than much that has been published of late ou the subject of Mexico, as Indicated In last evening's Republican It says . Those who are predicting that there is likely to occur a breach between the Govern ments or ranee and tne U nited btates on the subject of Mezloo) are evidently not aware that Mr. Johnson is acting in the matter with a frankness and decision that will most probably avert nnpleasant consequences It Is reported here, In diplomatic circles, that while the President was preparing his message the Trench Mlnlstor became aware of certain expressions of Mr Johnson in re gard to the French occupation of Mexico, coupled with demands upon France which might place tho Emperor in an embarrassing position It Is further said by those who tell this, that upon hearing these things the French Minister visited Mr. Seward, and informally, but positively, declared that the Emperor did not wish for war with the United States, and that he would very much regret sueh lan guage or action on the part of the United btates as would bring on a dead lock, and make it impossible for him to recede without humiliation At the same tlmo M de Montholon as sured Mr 6eward, so say these persons, that ho was authorised to promise that the French troops would be withdrawn from Mexico "In a little while' and tbat Napoleon only asked for little patience In the United States Government. It Is further said that the French Minister was able to satisfy the President upon this one point, and to show authority fur enga ging definitely that Napoleon would with draw his forces "In a little while " And It Is reported that Gen. Logan is so well satis fled that then will be no difficulty, but that Juarei and the Mexican republicans will soon be peaceful reinstated in Mexioo, that he declines the mission as loss Interesting to im than loine other work he baa In hand. teMttUMOriftfartk. TUB OFFICIAI AfflfOTJMOjtMKKT OF THE ADOPTION OF THE CON- 8TITUT10NAS AMENDMENT OPINIONS OF THE , LEADING PUfiSi; , L ' Below wo give extracts from some of the leading journals of the country1 on the sub ject of the official announcement of the adop tion of the amendment of the Constitution by the requisite number of States. The New York Tribune says Whatever differences exist between ear nest patriots as to the formality of this act, this much Is certain slavery la constltu tionallv dead Whether or not the Sonth had the right to help us to this end, It still remains that slavery is dead If we might have accented less than a deluge to sweep It away, it is wen ior an mat it is swept away rwenty seven states navo ratinca the con stitutional amendment. The unanimity which will follow the first moral confirma tion of the law will pile Ossa upon Pelion We are eortain, then, that slavery tn the land Ii dead tn tho law and letter beyond hope of resurrection, and that tt has boen burled by tho official sextons of twenty seven States. The New York Ttmts says "This certificate of the ratification of the constitutional amendment by tho necessary number of States Is tho first official recogni tion by tho Government of the constitutional equality of tho late Insurrectionary States with the other States. It therefore ts doubly momentous It makes an end forever of slavery, and at the same time vttalixcs the essential principle of restoration It Is im possible for the government which has rec ognized the voice of South Carolina to be equally potent with that of Massachusetts, and that of Georgia to have the same effect as that of New York, In the amendment of the organic law of the Union, to deny them equal functions In tho Union." Of the twenty-seven ratifying States no less than ten were elaveholding at the begin ning of the rebellion, namely. Maryland, Missouri, Virginia, north Carolina, bouth Carolina, Georgia, Atabuma, Louisiana, Ar kansas, and Tennessee All of these, save tho two first, were part of the Confederacy' which made traitorous war upon the nation Tho old Roman triumphal procession began with the lictors and closed with the captives, chained to the chariots. In our triumphal procession, the conquered march with the lictors, and share with them htfa$cts and the axes The moral sublimity Is Immensely upon the side of the American Republic. The New York Herald says : " The proclamation Issued on Monday by the State Department placed the final seal on the tomb of African slavery t this country The rebellion, inaugurated to protect that institution, administered the ery blow which caused Its death. Thus Providence, mot tag in mysterious ways, has brought about by war that which without It would have taken generations, and perhaps centuries, to ac complish." The New York World says. The proclamation of Secretary Seward, published yesterday, making the official dec laration required by law that the Constitu tional amendment has been ratified by the requisite three fourths of the States, takes out of politics, and consigns to history, an Institution incongruous to our political sys tem, Inconsistent with justice, and repug nant to the humane sentiments fostered by Christian civilization. The suddenness of the transition makes it of doubtful advantage to the present generation of adult negroes, but the thin itself is so consonant to the dictates of sound morality, that we are com pelled to accept it as one of the most Im portant reforms ever accomplished by volun tary human agency. It opens the door for tho full development of the capacities of the negro race, if that race possesses tho ele ments of enduring strength. Tho New York Jmleyendenl says A strange, grateful, and animated emotion beaU in our veins at the thought of the Uni ted btates Government declaring with its official lips that American slavery is no more forever. No moro shackles in the republic' No more buying and selling of human beings at auction No more enforced separations of lamiues' io more ordaining or ignorance by law' No mure flourishing of the slave driver's lash' No more hunting of men and women by hounds' AH this ancient tale of horrors blotted out at last by the stroke of a i ecretary's pen' The Springfield (Mass ) Union say La us Dxo The United States is now, and will ever be, to ondless generations, a free and independent nation Freedom Is na tional, for slavery Is dead No more to bo revhod, no more to breed dissensions, no moie to Incite war, no moro to clutch at the heart of the people, and steal tho life blood oi tne lairest and noblest of the land American slavery has been constitution ally abolished not fur a day, but for all time Glory to God in the blithest, and on earth peace, good will to men Mil.

Tho New York Tribune, alluding to Sena- tor Slider's undignified and unsenatorlai whitewash" speech, in denunciation of President Jonisioi a message to the Senate on the 19th lntant, says "We find in the text of this messaco no adequate reason for Mr Sumner s uenuncia tlonof It If the President bad demanded of Congress that it act on his Judgment rather man us own, men ne would nae acted un warrantably, but. as he has slmnlv iflvenhfs own view of the existing situation, with his reasons for suggesting a particular course, he deserves neither denunciation nor obloquy ' Hewlldercdt Tho railroad bill which passed the House on Tuesday appears to have thrown the spe cial correspondents Into a state of special be wilderment Their dispatches are luminous with sage remarks upon the railroad system of the country, and voluminous In denuncia tions of moneyed monopolies A good many of them appear, to think that things have baen so arranged now that passengers are to be carried In a balloon over New Jersey, or possibly translatod hence to New York AH of them agreo that it Is a terrible blow at all tho roads in that recently annexed domain The Boston IWj dispatch, which is com paratively mildly blundering, fixes It this way 'Congress accomplished legislation to-day of great lnlerent lathe House, nndsr the opera tions of the prevluu questiun, a bill was rushed through regulating commerce between the sev eral States It Is tii tended especially to refer to New Jrey and Maryland, and prohibit the lay ing of a ptr tnpita tax on passeugers fr iia oue 8ut who may bo travelling In another " Now here is the bill Bo it tmulwl , Ac , That every railroad com pany In the United States wboxe road in operated by steam, Its successors and assigns bo, and are hereby, authorized to carry upin and over Its roadi connections, boats, bridges, nnd ferrleM all passengers, troops, fcuverument supplier, malls, freight, and property on their way from one Stato to another Stato, aud to leceive coin pensatlou therefor And the objoct of the bill Is to enable the Illinois Central and some other roads, which received large grants of lands, in oonsidera tion of which they were to render the Gov ernment servtco without other compensation, to collect pay for such service hereafter in very hard cash or as hard a may be the fashion of the period.
