It a not necessary to exhort at length
the Conservatives of Tennessee at this
time. The object is to let them know
that the State ia not to be rescued with
out hu effort, and that it behooves them
if they would relieve it from misrule and
regain their rights aa free citizens, to be
active, wgtlant and brave. They must
form an organization as perfect as that of
their opponents. They must do neigh

Tlie effect of this'decision is to annul the

is concerned, but also in its relation to
Shelby county and the city of Chatbi

gratulation that the judiciary, both of tbe

this crisis of a nation's fate, are demon
Pirating the wisdom of our forefathers in
making them n check upon the Legisla
tivo departments, and proving thotnselres
equal to the "heightb of litis great argu

and tbo sweeping innovations of Radi
cHhani, one bulwark alone remains an
impartial and enlightened judiciary. May
it not fail us !
THE TEST OATH DECISION
The Supreme Court of tlio United
Status has done another noble work for
the ?ountry. It has drawn black linos
around tlie statute requiring test oaths in
certain eases, and written on its face,
expunged by order of ''ice, the people of
the United Statet." Tho telegraphic
abstract of Juatico Field's decision, deliv
ered for himself and Justices Nelson
Clifford, Grier and Wayne, the majority
of the Court, is so imperfect that its pre
cise import iB not given, but it is suffi
cientlv clear tc iuBtifv the confident e
-
lief that Under it, the wholo systoin
of
teatoatliB cxclusivo of political priulcges
is destined to fall ; and it is to be fer
vontly hoped to rise no more in a land
whose chicfest boast is civil and religious
freedom. Wo await with sireat interest
the opinion in full, and shall rejoico to
learn that the principlo upon which tlio
Court pronounces tho Missouri act and
the Congressional law in regard to nttor
noys constitutional, is made to apply
to every spesioa of tho abomina
tion. The statement bv the court
of tho broad effect of tho Prcsiden
tial pardon in reinstating offenders to the
full rights of citizenship ; and the dental
to Congress or any other subordinate
legislative body the power to restrict or
limit ite operation by disqualifying acts.
would seem to imply ttmt tho judicial
axe has struck at the root of this gigantic
ovil. Its remarks also upon tho ex post
facto and attainting features of these civil
disabilities lends countcnanco to the con
struetion. In a day or two, however, we
will be able to learn tho oxact effect of
this decision, and in the meantime, rest
assured, tliat though it may bo restricted
to the two forms iuimo.iiatelv bofore the
court, a great step has been mado to

franchises of the constitution

THE STATUS Or ALABAMA.
The Montgomery (Ala ) Advertiser, of
the 12th inst, contains the followiag :
"On the 7th inrtant. the Supreme Court
of the United States affirmed the judgment
of the Supreme Court of Alabama, with
costs, in the case of L. Witberspoon and
others, plaintiffs in error, versus Benjamin
S. Duncan aud others. Justice D3vts de
livering the opinion of the court.
We are not intormeu ol tne nature oi
this case, or when an appeal was taken
from the decision of the Supreme Court of
Alabama, whether before or after the war,
but to recognise such a tribunal as the hu
nreme Court of Alabama is virtually to re-
cogaize tbe State of Alabama, for if Ala
bama is not a State there can be no such
tribunal as the Supreme Court of the State.
While we are repudiated by the legislative,
we are confident of official recognition by
the other co-ordinate departments of the
government, the executive and judicial."
The Radicals in Congress who are pre
paring Jo territorialize tne noutiieru

stumbling block in the way of carrying
out their favorite measure

the best informed authorities at thc Impe
rial court, we have the following:
French troops are descending En Maaeeo
to Vera 0rnz. Gen. Castelitau will leave
the City of Mexico sometime in February.
General Castelriau and the French minis
ter went to the Emperor's at Pueblo, and
obtained a promise from him to abdicate in
twenty days. It appears that tlie answer
of. the Liberal chiefs to the invitation sent
them for co-operation leaves no hope that
a Congress can lie held, and the Emperor
uiHft abdicate. ' In the meantime hi em
pire ia governed by bis confessor, Pere
Fnscher.
Marquez aud Miramoit are seizing men
nnd horses wherever thev can lav their

The Liberals are all around the City of
Mexico. All Americans are desirous of
getting away, and are taking oiit theirpa
ports. The Liberals must get the city be
fore long.
The piesent is the lat effort of the reac
tionists. It is feared that it will be a des
perate one. There is no doubt but the
French will leave sooner than is expected,
and that Max must soon follow.
The newlv appointed Generals have been
conscripting by force at Puebla and other
towns. Mauada has issued a call to the
young men of the Citv of Mexico, appeal
ing to their patriotism to join the ranks of
tlie Liberals and obey no longer the orders
of foreign despots.
Imperial General Lazoda pronounced at
the head ol his troops against the htnpire,
and states in his proclamation that he will
observe armed neutrality is his distriet.
The document is signed by Gen. Carfei
Rivas, Cols. Rosales and Naver, four Lieu
tenant Colonels, and a large number of
other officers. All are eager to serve,
without remuneration, until the end of the
cruol war.
The stages on the road from Orizaba to

New Orleans, Jan. 14. The steamer
Cassandria arrived at this port this morn
iug from Vera Cruz direct, and brings tho
following highly important intelligence
from the City of Mexico to .tlte 8th inst.:
The last detachment of French troops
from the interior, under (Jen. Castlenaii,
was expected daily at the capital, when all
tho forces would commence their move
ment towards Vera Cruz.
Marshal Bazine is expected to leave the
capital about the 20th inst.
All thc abandoned cities were being oc
cupied bylfthe Liberals. Guadalajara,
Guanaxsto, San Luis and Colima were in
their hands
General Miramon left the capital to oc
cupy these places, but it was generally be
lieved that he would not succeed. The
great difficulty with the Imperialists was
tho want of arms and money.
Mejia has abandoned tho cause.
The Emperor, blinded by advisow, had
resolved to continue tho struggle, and lind
reached the capital, taking up his abode at
Haiccnda la Teja. It was believed by
many that the Emperor would Iuavo tho
country as soon as tho French troops de
part. The French troops will be at Vera Cruz
by the 1st of February. On tbe 1st of
March all the expeditionary corps wotild
be embarked for France.

Public !iUierlH: --Speeches.
HakkSburu, Pa., Jan. 15. This after
noon a public gathering was held at one of
the balls in this city, at which speeches
were made by Attorney General Brewster,
Senators Lowry and Langdon, and Gen.
Cameron. In the course of bis remarks,
Mr. Cameron said, 1 thank God that in
spite of the slanders my enemies have
heaped on me for twenty years, my fHrow
citizetM, who have i-eeu my life from ilay to
day, have always stood by my side and
helped ine to repel them. This last strug
gle of my political life has ended in victo
ry. I declare this as in answer to my
children ami friends. I now propose to
put these slanders behind me and forget
the liars who concocted them, and the fact
that good men in some cses, by repetition
of them, were induced to believe and re
peat them.
Mr Cameron continued, six vears ago I
thought slavery was the strength of the re
bellion, and ought to be d At roved with
out delay. I wished also to arm all the
black men who would volunteer. Of course
I thought that a black man in American
uniform would clothe him with all the
rights of an American citizen. I am always
glad to see a black soldier, and reflect that
even Pennsylvania denies him the ballet,
the only weapon by which he can protect
himself. I hope to live to see the word
white stricken from our own constitution
and tho spirit of caste upon color utterly
destroyed. The South, however, is more
controlled by social influences than by po
litical principles; if yon are wise and firm
you may educate the rising generation
in loyalty, but there is no method of state
manship which will make this generation
of the South loyal to the Union and Hag.
The pioson of 30 years can but lie eradicated
by the subserviency of the President or by
statutes of Congress. Let us look truth iu
the face. The Southern territory is des
troyed. The loyal men of to-day must
guard the children ngainst another treason
rebellion. The constitutional amendment
granting impartial euffrage.will do this, but
universal amnesty will help to undo it.
Andrew Johnson I said long ago was a
traitor to his party, an enemy of his coun
try, and a lul man. He has done many
bad things, hut nothing worse than offering
the offices of the country to those few un
principled men who agreed to desert and
betray the great Republican organization
for his jwtronage. He joined the Demo
cratic party long ago ; he had a right to
givp them office.', but he had no right to
dUposeTof them at auction to weak-kneed
Republicans.
The pauper Inbor of Europe -is again
competing with our own labor, and our
manufactures languish for want of protec
tion against it. Pennsylvania needs no
assurance of my devotion to her interests in
this regard, which aro the interests of the
whole country. I will continue to lalmr,
in season or out of season, to protect our
manufactures from ruin and their workmen
from lieing thrown out of employment, or
their wages reduced to a starvation point:
for I liold that the true welfare of any na
tion depends on the welfare of its laboring
classes.

He recomends tho energetic prosecution

Penitentiary. He says the report on freo
schools shov.s a gratifying progress in the
work of education, and urges a most liberal
legislation in support of the schools, and a
provision for the agricultural college en
dowed by Congress. He advises the Le
gislatures to provide for thc speedy geologi
cal survey of the State, and to enennrage
immigrants to the Slate.
Tiimassafe concludes, with an able ar
gument in favor of ratifying thc amend
ment to the constitution of the United
States. He says it was the absolute duty
of Congress to take control of the rebellious
States after the war wa3 over ; and, under
the circumstances, the terms of restoration
proposed are not vindictive or unkind,
much less unjust. Greater magnanimity
was never shown under kindred circumstances.
A resolution ratifying the constitutional
ameaament passed thebenatc to-dav bv

Washi.nston, Jan. 16. A minsaer of
letitiois were presented, including one from
the citizens of Bellefootain, Ohio, asking
Congress to prohibit any person ad
dicted to intoxicating liquor from hold
ing office under the United States govern
ment. Mr. FeMtenden fioai the CommiMee uu
Finance, reported a bill authorizing the
Secretary of Treasury, to delegate to one
of his assistants the 'authority to sign all
warrants for the payment of monev into
the public treasury, and for the disburse
atent of tlie same', when certified by the
proper accounting officer.
The credentials of Senator Campbell, of
South Carolina, were presented awl ta
bled. Mr. Howard called up his resolution of
inquiry into Mexican affairs, offered on
the Sth inst. He alluded in bis remarks
to the unjustifiable usurpation ou the part
of Napoleon, the pretext of which was a
debt of Mexico to French subjects. No
body could credit that this was the only
cause. Its object looked far beyond, and an
entire subversion of the Mexican govern
ment, and tlie establishment of an Imperial
power of France, under a sort of protecto
rate. Our government has not made any very
strenuous efforts to procure the withdrawal of
French troops, and the war has been jirose
culed by the French with bitterness and
has greatly involved our relations with the
legitimate powers of that republic. Our
interests and those of mankind require its
termination as speedily as practicable, ami
he desired information on the subject.

ment, that the committee lie instructed to

Mr. Sumner hoped that it would be
adopted. The President bad proclaimed
his intention to knock men out of office,
and it was the duty of Congress to pro
tect men thus threatened.
Mr. Cragin and Fessenden opposed the
amendment.
