A Blunder In Mexico.
from the Tribune.
' We are known not to take any larjrc amount
Of stock cither In "the Monroe Doctrine" or la
lhatof "Manifest Destiny." We favor all the
inodcrn Improvements, but cannot realize that
there has been any decided advance in 'our
foreign policy since Ms general principles were
Enunciated in Washington's Farewell Address.
In short, we believe that, as a general rule, our
Government should mind its own business and
let that of other Governments alone. 8uch we
understand to be the essence of the Washington
doctrine, which we consider decidedly prefer,
able to that properly known as the Monroe.
As to the Empire of Maximilian, wo consider it
very great and costly blunder on the part of
Kapoleon III; but we do not think our Govern
ment should intprmeddle with it. If France can
afford to furnish the thirty to forty millions per
annum required to keep it on its legs, we see
not why this country should interfere. Mexico
need railroads, and all manner of industrial
machinery; she needs security for property; she
needs immunity from incessant revolutions,
forced loan?, guerrilla outrages, highway rob
bery, dense ignorance, degrading: superstition,
and nil that have conspired to make her what
John Randolph called her. "A blanketed nation
of thieves and harlots." And if Louis Napoleon
can constrain France (sorely against her will) to
pav tho heavy cost of the process which cannot
be less than one billion of francs wo cannot ad
vise that he be interrupted in so doing.
If our Government should intermeddle with
this matter, and succeed in driving out Maxi
milian, the civilized world would inevitably say
to us, "Yu have expelled a Government which
gave promise of peace, unity, authority, vigar,
security, industry: how do you propone to re
place it 7 If jou intend that 'Mexico fhall retro
grade to her endless cycles of pronunciamentos,
revoluttOn6, and military dictatorships, we pro
test. You have no right thus to inlure tho
comiaerce, the Industry of the civilized world.
If jou destroy the only Government that gave
hope of stability and progress, you are bound to
replace it by a better." And, as we do not want
Mexico are In no condition to spend thirty or
forty millions per annum upon it are utterly
opposed to swallowing more than our digestive
organs can dispose of we insist that our Gov
ernment shall let Mexico alone, and let France
spend all tho money there that her ruler can
constrain his reluctant legislature to vote.
When France vetoes this, her troops will be
.withdrawn ; and then the Empire must take its
.chance. It it shall meantime have proved a
general blessing, it will endure; if not, it will
speedily pass away, as it should.
Hence, we deeply regret the decree of Mnxlmi
' Han, published in our last, authorizing "the
Aamtln (InmnnnT of Clolnnlzfttinn." It in h.iRnrl
' on the identical blunder that cursed America
with negro slavery the same that misled Bob
'Roy into winning the beef required by his bare
legged lollowers by harrying the Scotch low
lands instead of buying it in the Glasgow mar
ket. There is a factitious, immediate conve
nience in all these mistakes; but their ultimate
retribution is tearful.
Mexico has to-day about seven millions of
people, whereof at least six millions must work
for a living or steal it. Eer urgent need to-day
ia such an organization of labor as shall proffer
work and fair recompense to every Mexican
shall muke it easy and honorable to live and
thrive by honest, useful work, difficult and dis
graceful to live otherwise. But this proposed
importation of Asiatic "Coolies" is a lone, a
latal stride in the wrong direction. It is syste
matic renunciation ot the hope that Mexicans
can be induced to work. It is a virtual con
demnation of the masses to die out, and bo re-
S laced by Asiatic paeans at least as vicous and
esraded, though not so indolent and ineffec
tive, as the lowest of the Aztecs. We trust Maxi
milian who seems to be enlightened and hu
manewill yet be induced to recall this latal
decree.
the
Connecticut Election A Hint
to
the Pennsylvania Democracy.
From the Herald.
In tho late Connecticut election the Repub
licans have had a narrow escape from a disas
trous defeat. They have been saved by their
caudidate for Governor, one of the most merito
rious Union volunteer soldiers, and by the popu-
liar odium which still attaches to the Demo
cratic party from its Rebel and Copperhead
jjeace affiliation- during the war. The Rebel
lion has beet suppressed, peace is restored, the
new issues of a reconstruction of. the Union on
the basis' of the abolition of slavery and the su-
premacy of the national Government are upon
us, but still the all-absorbing issue of the war
marks rue dividing line between tne two po'
lit ical parties ot the North.
. Th,at great body of the people devoted to the
war for Hie Union, alter all their sacrifices of
iilood.and treasure to save the liie ot the na
tionj cannot at once accept in confidence the
new prolessions of a party Identified with all
the obnoxious Northern peace movements and
Combinations and conspiracies of our sanguin-
ary"bectibnal struggle, though now among the
' thingg.of the past. It takes time lor tho public
luind throughout the country to accommodate
duett to the new condition of things. The em'
i Jittered party leenugs ot a bloody civil war
i do not always disappear with the generation
' living at the time of a treaty of peace. The old
. 'lodeial peace party ot lsl'i never recovered from
it opposition to that war, but gradually went
the way of diskolution, and for a generation
al ter it was burled it was a etisrrna upon any
irian to be proclaimed as a relic ot tne Hartford
Convention. The same popular odium attaches
to tne party ot tne I mcago Democratic conven
tion, which, with Grant investing Richmond,
and with Sherman at Atlanta, pronounced the
" war for the Union a failure. Against this ob
noxious record the Northern Democratic party
has still to contend, because the new Issues of
peace and reunion iia ye not yet obliterated tho
deeply marked dividing party lines of the war.
but tne Connecticut election suows tuat
reaction In the public mind lroni those old issues
of the past to the living questions of the day
has commenced. Lost year the Democratic
caudidate for Governor, a peace Copperhead,
. was defeated in Connecticut by a majority
against him of eleven thousand. This year the
Democratic candidate in- that State, with the
antecedents of a conservative Union war man,
. Including his support in Congress of the con
stitutional amendment abolishing slavery, and
stundiug without a reservation In support of
President Johnson's Union measures, comes
within a lew hundred votes of an election,
notwithstanding the odious Copperhead affilia
tions oi the Democratic party. We se in this re
sult the popularity of President Johnosn's policy
and the wisdom ol the Democracy in utterly
repudiating their Copperhead leaders and
heresies which, since iKtill, had resulted in no
thing but disasters to their party from Maine to
Culiltfrnio. ,
Here is a hint which ought not to be lost upon
the Democracy of Pennsylvania. They have set
. vp as their candidute for Governor in their next
. October ii4i)n a Mr. Heister Clymer against a
- lendinar union general, last from Sherman's
army. And who Is this Mr. Clymer t A politi
cian of Berks county, only distinguished in the
" late struggle oi life or death with tho Rebellion
as a Copperhead of the humanitarian school of
' VullandiKbam. This Is just as Forney, tne "dead
duck" ot Wafhincton, would have the battle
a. rliaped in Penusvlvauiit. It could not bo better

of the turn In the popular tide. By October

the Bay of Fundy, tf the Democrats meantime
will onl remove from the ohannel all the Cop-
ficrhead rubbish that blocks it up. In a word,
be old Democratic party ot the Chicago Con

for then its elements, rallying around the Ad
ministration, under a new namo, new princi
ples, and new leaders, may swepp the country,
North and South, in the great battle agalnat the
radicals for the Presidential succession.
Tne Piesldent's Victory.
From the Daily KeVB.
The President's Proclamation is partlculaily
significant when viewed in connection with the
revolutionary attitude of the Congressional
majority. These faction is ts maintain that the
States lately In rebellion arc still in insurrec
tion, and that this fact deprives these States of
the right of representation in Congress. By his
Proclamation, the President solemnly declares
that "the insurrection which heretofore existed
in the States of Georgia, South Carolina, Virgi
nia, North Caroliua, Tennessee, Louisiana, Ar
kansas, Mississippi, and Florida is at an end,
and is honceforth to be so regarded." We are of
those who believe that the solemn proclamation
of this fact by the President establishes its legal
existence, and that it cannot be henceforth
questioned by any except those who are intent
upon subverting the Government.
That these will question it there can be no
doubt. They will stop at no intaction of the
Constitution, at no wrong, at no outrage in the
prosecution of their purpose to obtain and keep
r ossession of the Government, by diseniranchis
Ing the white and enfranchising the blacks of
the Southern States. This purpose they can
only accomplish by passing ttieir infamous
measures over the' President's vetoes; aud this
they cannot do, if any one of1 the enumerated
Slates be accorded the right ot representation
in Congresd. The Stevens and Sumner faction
will, therciore, in all probability insist, as they
have heretotore done, that it is for the Congress,
and not the President, to determine when "the
Insurrection is at an end;" and treating his Pro
clamation as a nullity, will persist in excluding
the Southern Senators and Representatives from
the scats which they are legally entitled to
occupy. If they do this they must inevitably
provoke a collision with the President, and test
the sincerity of his declaration "that the insur
rection is at an end, and is henceforth to be so
regarded." We have no doubt that the Presi
dent means exactly what he says, and that he is
inflexibly determined that the Congress shall
recognize the fact that the States lately in in
surrection are "constituent States of the United
States, and as such must necessarily be, and by
the Constitution and laws of the United States
are, made equal, and placed on a like footing as
to political rights, immunities, dignity, and
power with the several States with whieh they
are united,"
If the Conpress, under the malign influence of
Stevens and Sumner, ahull refuse to do this, and
shall still exclude the representatives of those
States, it will become the duty, as wo believe it
is the purpose, of the President to treat their
acts as oi no legal euccu
They may assume to pass the Civil Rights bill.
or any other vile measure the Central Directory
may concoct, over his veto. They cannot com
pel him to execute it. 'i ney may dare to preter
articles of impeachment against him. lie can
laugh them to scorn; and, strong in the lust ice
ot his cause, and in the confidence ot tne people,
can defy their utmost malice, and will triumph
over an tneir muugnity.
The Proclamation and its Consequences.
From the Times .
It is difficult to conceive of any rational and
just ground upon which objection may be
urged to the decisive step just takcu by the
President. In formally declaring tne insur
rection at an end, and proclaiming the recon
struction of the Southern States, and their title
to the rights and Immunities belonging to in
tegral parts of the Union, he has simply exer
cised tho authority belonging to his office
under the Constitution. The question to be de
cided was one of fact and time, and the law
and the Constitution have made him the sole
responsible judge of both. His action in the
premises is equally iree irora tne opposite
errors of precipitancy and procrastination. He
has delayed it long enough to satisfy his own
uugment and tne judgment oi tne country, as
to the accuracy oi the representation upon
w hich his decision depends for its justification.
To have promulgated it much earlier, or in the
absence of ample evidence as to the complete
ness ot the wort achieved by tne war, and tne
sufficiency ot the terms acknowledged by the
rehabilitated States, would have been a blunder
pregnant with the gravest consequences. On
tne otner nana, naviug necomo satisneu tnat tnei
results aimed at in the prosecution of the war;
hud been accomplished, and that the reorganiza
tion of the Sthte Governments on a loyal" basis,
is complete, he could not have indefinitely de
terred the Proclamation without nullifying all
that he has said and done since his advent to
power, or without fomenting sectional discon
tent, and strengthening a policy which, un
checked, would have led to a disruption of the
L'nion. "...
I he proclamation
1 .1 I
ttine forth national peace
and unity, the equality ot all the State as mem-,
bcre oi the Union, the subordination of military
to civil authority, and the restoration of the
preat iMiHruntess of personal liberty, for a time
!-u.pended to meet ih exigencies of war, was
eesential and esiieutial now to perfect the
well considered policy to which the President
in irrevocably committed. It is evidence that,
come what may, he in resolved to gite effect to
the principles and conclusion by which his
official course has ben iruided. It is a fulfil
ment of Lie pledge that in nis path there shall
be no poiuk backwards that every step be
Hikes shall be a step forward that all he has
done shall be upheld, and all he has promised
fulfilled, despite the nialedict'ons of diuunionists
Korth or South.
Tbe issuing of the proclamation at this mo
ment is especially imoortant, in view of the
briet pnuse in the Congressional struggle, aad
the anxiety with which the country watches
lor its renewal in the Senate. The iTesictent
has now cleared the pound as thoroughly as
pofsible. The manifold pleas for exceptional
legislation, predicated upon the continuance
ot a state oi war, ana its anegea rousunniou
nlity under the war-making power, will be
henceforth inadmissible. There will be no
tenable pretense for talking ot or oailng witn
the South as still in Rebellion ; for thv Presi
dent. In the exercise of an incontestable
authority, has declared the Rebellion ended.
There can be no excuse for dictating terms to
Southern States as conquered provinces, or
imposing conditions upon their people as
subjugated Rebels, at tne niorcy of the con
queror; for tne iiixocnuve oi me nation nus
proclaimed that the richts of States in tho
South nre as valid as those of States in the
North; that the civil authority of Ceorijia in
as perfect in its sphere as that ot Massachubetts,
ana that the Southern people are, as a whole,
loyally intent upon doing their duty as citizen
nt the United State. There can no longer be
a decent pretext tor excluding Southern Repre
sentatives from Congress, or lor enacting laws
applying peculiarly to the Southern States, and
piiforeina rjrowions which their authors dare
not attempt to enlorce in their own States. To
this extent, therefore, the proceeding ot the
President cannot tall .to exercise A potent intluv

either accept the fact promulgated by the Prod-
dent, with all its' logical consequences, or as
sume an attitude of rpsistanoe to the authority
lawlully vested in him. In one case, their
tactics must undergo a change, which can
hardly be for the worse. In the other, they
will seal their condemnation before IhecDuntry,
and convict themselves of a desire to usurp a
power withheld from them by the Constitution.
Coming at such a time, and calculated to
exercise such an influence, U were iilo to as
sume that the Proclamation will please those
whose averments it controverts, or bo accept
able to those whose policy it eiiectually
thwarts. We shall be agreeably surprised if it
be not made the occasion of a trech outpouring
of wrath upon the President. The elaborate
recital ot lacts with which the burden of the
document is prelaced. was probably prepared
in anticipation of this contingency. Whatever
bis motive, the President has unquestionably
added strength to his position by the array of
proclamations issued by his predecessor, and
resolutions adopted by Congress during the
progress of the war. Unless thus loriitied,
bis interpretation of the obiect of the war
would have been open to controversy. Upon
this poiut. now. there can be no cavil. Presi
dent Johnson produces and accepts the dicta of
President Lincoln, which, again, wero in entiro
harmony with the solemn declarations of Con
gress, supported and in at least one instance
originated by the very members who now find it
convenient to occupy diametrically opposite
ground. They who now say that the war had
other objects than the maintenance ol the Union,
whenever tbey assail the Proclamation will find
themselves conironted with their own avowals,
and theavowalB ot tho then President, put for
ward with their sanction. Tho Irttiune pro
nounces this testimony superfluous. No doubt
our coutemporary and 'not a few others would
prefer to have forgotten what so palpably con
victs tbem of inconsistency, not to say Insin
cerity. But llie country will think differently.
And President Johnson, in thus appealing to trie
record in support of bis own view, does much to
counteract the malignity of those who may be
expected to be its assailants.

freest country, England or
man of intelligence answers
without hesitation, "England." England may,
indeed, become a freer and better Government
than she now is, by the extension of tne suffrage
proposed in the new reform bill; but she has
long been tho freest country In Europe, and,
excepting tho United States, the freest in the
world. The amount ot lreedom enioyeft ln any
nation bears no necessary relation to the num
ber of its voters. France needs no reform bill,
in the sense in which that pbrase is understood
in hue land: France, in oilier words, is not
capable ot receiving any extension of the elec
tive lranchise. In France, suffrage is already
universal. In England, the elective franchise
attnehes to a propeity qualification; the new
reform bill merely Droposes to reduce, not
abolibb, the qualilication. In France, every
mule inhabitant ot twenty-one years or upwards
has the sull'inge by reason of his birth in the
country: while in England, eren under the new
reform bill, not one grown man in ne will have
the rieht to vote. It must, therefore, be ad
mitted that freedom is not necessarily in pro
portion to the number of voters.
If the choice were given to a well-informed
man whether he would prefer in the United
States a centralized despotism, like the Govern
ment of France, with negro suffrage, or the free
institutions of England with her restricted
suffrage, he would decide for the free institu
tions. The actual question, in this country, lies
between wider extremes. We have already uni
versal white suffrage, as they have in France;
and our actual Constitution is much freer than
that of England. But it is proposed, by the
radicals, to acquire universal negro suffrage by
a centralized despotism outrivulliug that of
Napoleon. For the French Government admits
representatives into the legislative body from
all ports of the Empire, while halt of tha terri
torial area ot , the United States is not repre
sented in Congress.
Tbe Government of England is free, because
the country is governed by lis public opinion.
The Government of France is not free, because
public opinion does not, in that country, con
trol governmental measures. The radical policy
is producing a similar political condition nere.
Nobody entertains any doubt that a majority of
the whole people included In the whole coun
try, approve the reconstruction policy of the
President. But the Government is so organized,
by a disregard of the Constitution, that this
aggregate public opinion does not find expres
sion in Congress. In England, under similar
circumstances, the Executive would dissolve
tbe Parliament, and appeal to the people in
a new election. In this country we must
await the stated period of elections, which
would be no evil If all the present Repre
sentatives were admitted to their lawful seats.
It tbe members of Parliament from the coun
ties had excluded the members from the towns,
a Dissolution would be no remedy, unless the
towns were to be admitted after the new elec
tion. It a rump Parliament should pass laws
giving the counties the control of the organiza
tion of the next Parliament, there could be no
appeal to the country, but only to the repre
sented part of it. But the exclnsion of the
towns would be a revolution a virtual over
throw of the British Constitution. There is not
a statesman or publicist in Europe but would so
pronounce it. The exclusion, in this country,
of eleven States from Congress, is equally revo
lutionary. The Constitution declares that each
Slate shall have two Senators, and that no
Slate shall, without Its consent, be deprived of
its equal representation in the Senate. It also
declares that each State shall be represented in
thu lower branch ol Congress in proportion to
its population, as ascertained by the next pre
ceding ceusus. These provisions are virtually
abrogated by the radical representatives from
the Northern Ststes. The consequence is, that
Cougiess, instead of expressing the will of a
majority of the people ot the United States,
represents an acknowledged minority. The
radicals dare not admit the whole country to
the representation which the Constitution gives
it, knowing that they would thereby lose their
poer. 1
It is plain, therefore, that for the sake of out
stripping France in the matter of universal suf
frage, the radicals are also outstripping her In
despotism, bven under tne despotism ot iOiiis
Napoleon every part of France is represented;
but universal eutlrage is far enough " lrom pro
ducing liberty. T
The radicals are constantly clamoring that
universal sulirago is necessary to complete
emancipation. But are there slaves in England?
It is the boast of that country that slavery has
not existed there lor severaf uundrea years.
Perlect lreedom is therefore consistent with
a denial of suffrage to considerable classes of
the population. The iree institutions of Eng
land are a better protection to its inhabitants
than universal suflrage is to the inhabitant! of
France. The present movement In England for
extending the suffrage by lowering the property
qualification has an Instructive side for this
country in the demonstration it calls to mind,
that personal freedom may be fully enjoyed by
classes wno have no excess to tbe polling-booths.
It puts to shame the argument of the revolu
tionary radicals, that the negroes cannot be free
without the elective franchise. If this pretense
weie well foundd, four-tilths of the people ot
England would be slaves, even alter the passage
ol the new reform bill.
