THE NEW YORK PIIESS. BIHTORIAL OPINIONS OF TITB IiBADINd JOURNALS PPO CUBBBNT TOPIC& COMPILED EVERT DAT FOB IHB EVENING TKLKQRAPH. The New Partyv From the JV. Y. Citizen. Tbere was some dangor at least some per Bcms thought so that "an era of good fueling" Jnight be revived in the Democratic factions of Ihis oity. The lambj of the Union Democracy Vere to lie down on the same bed of mingled Iplljflowers and mignonette with the gorged Wolves of Tammany Hall; and there wan to be Sunshine over the scene, and peace in the lioarts of all, and ginger was to be hot in every mouth, and the beautiful traditions of the goldon age were all to be revived in the happy family of a reunited Democracy. Thanks to the action of the managing wire pullers of the recent State Convention at '.Albany, this disastrous dream is now dissi pated, as etfeatually as though it had never crossed even the weak minds of those who first conceived it. We of the popular party find that the fight against the corruptionists and Jobbers of the Tammany "King," must extend to the corruptionists and jobbers of the Democratic machinery throughout the State; and with one voice the independent delegates and representatives of the Democratic Union party have cast oil their allegiance to the Cagger-Tam many dynasty, and staked "their Jives, their fortunes, and their sacred honors" in a contest against that imbecile and domi neering tyranny. Against the Tammany "Rins" and the State Central "Ring" against "the deck and the devil" of fossiliferous party manage ment, in. this State and all other States of the Union we of the Union Democracy have hoisted the black Hag of perpetual revolt, and shall neither expect to give nor to receive any quarter through all the coming years. We shall elect men representing our own convictions wherever that is possible; and "Wherever such shall not bo possible in the immediate present, then our first, last, and only object shall be to secure the defeat of Whatever ticket shall be cursed with the Cagger-Tammany brand. In this contest we expect large and continually increasing assist ance from the independent and honest men of all parties; and in the near future we foresee that the little spark of insurrection here kindled must spread into one devouring flame over the whole Union a flame which shall leave nothing of our former dishonest and inadequate political machines except their ashes. As will be seen from the deeply interesting Albany letter, elsewhere published, as also from the protest against their exclusion signed by the Democratic Union delegates to the re cent State Convention held at Tweddle Hall, the independent conservative masses of our city are at length thoroughly aroused to the necessity of striking at the root of the pes tiferous political upas tree which has for only too many years overshadowed and blighted all their prospects for party reform and a re turn to constitutional principles. They have, once and forever, separated themselves from the imbecile and yet tyrannical clique in con trol of our Democratic State machinery; and they have pledged themselves never again to make any truce or compromise with the cor ruptionists and lobbyists who have brought disgrace upon our party in the city and defeat upon it in the State. We predict that the movement for establish ing a new party, hereby inaugurated, will spread throughout the whole country like lire over the prairies of the West. We must abjure and finally kick over all the non-representative, Copperhead, and self-perpetuating machinery which was engaged in securing General McClellan's defeat by placing him on the untenable Chicago platform; and we must Jiury under mountains of popular majorities the trioky and corrupt politicians who caused Horatio Seymour to be defeated two and a half years ago, because of his refusal to approve one of their most iniquitous schemes Sor private aggrandizement at the public cost. For such a new party as we propose, tne j future holds out unlimited promise of public , good and personal advancement. It is a j party in which all independent and honest j men will be received with welcoming hands, I irrespective of their past political convic- t tiona ; and it will be more especially the 1 party for all the young anl aspiring man- , iiood of our country, as contrasted with the old existing party organizations, in which prominence could only be achieved by long j years of unscrupulous servility to old dotards and drivellers who are as corrupt as un- j popular. We are in the fight, boys, and j must fight it out ! We shall have the ; best men in the country at our back, and prominence must be given only to men of un blemished record. We shall beat the Tam many nominees this month in every ena- ' torial district of our city for no such persons ' can be allowed to frame a State Constitution : under which we and our children shall be 1 compelled to live for the next twenty years; i and we shall beat the Cagger-Regency machine next November hitting it with" the hammer ' of so heavy an adverse majority, that anti- I quarians who may desire to pick up some of j its fragments will have to engage in the busi ness with powerful microscopes. Let whatever may happen hap we have at last found that, to beat the Tammany "Ring," we have previously or simultaneously to beat the Cagger-Regency "Ring;" and to this busi ness we apply ourselves as joyously as bride grooms to the bridal. The independent and conservative representatives of this city have been excluded from the State Con tention of their party, for no other rea on than that of having been weak enough VHt November to support John T. Hotlman r Governor a nominee in whose selection y had never been consulted. This error s a generous one, but must never be Seated; for the little gang we are opposed a this city and State, know not how to lv6ciate any such generous treatment, ""duty, therefore, now is, to beat their B0uuaUon8 at whatever cost and in any .uiar we miiy flU(j essential; to let every aspiricr man ih mnil wnr that affiliation with Ve Cagger-Tanimany clique is certain and i'Hgraeful death in politics; and to elect our WliUa local ticket fnr iha fVvn.ititritinri.nl Conation this month, and our whole State, local, ud county ticket next November, in deliano of Mr. 1'eter Cagger, and all the other 1 eers,f whatever family, from the Mattery 1 Tb World's Fair. From the yibune. The Gnat Exposition has been , open since the first o the month; but and we nowTeceive the first account of its success which reach tia in the wa) of correspondence. The splendid tory is told at last; and for the first time we appreciate the real nature and extent of the relation of industrial treasures whicli the THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, world has continued to hoap up in Parle. We see that this World's Fair, if not all that the world can do, is at least worthy of Bome of its brightest faculties and highest powers. It gives us cosmical greeting. None of the arts and industries are unrepresented in it; none of the nationalties are quite ab sent from its participation; and the powers of the earth have for once oome together in harmony. There is no voxed diplomatic question to decide at this Congress of Crafts. The nations have apparently given their best and kept their worst. Dumb things are allowed to represent them more potently than a gryjd many talkative ambassadors. American invention lias gone forth as our Minister Plenipotentiary, and we bolieve it has no quarrel with any foreign and kindred power. To this- extent the worM holds together in harmony, and if the empire at this time is not peace, the world's industries certainly are. We see it in its grand charac ter of workmen pledging the f utu re that much as has been achieved by the skilled mind and arm of the inventor and mechanio, muoh more will be done, and that speedily. The rough hand of the world is thus full of those hard-worn jewels of labor which purchase peace in spite of the passions of peoples. We esteem the opening of the World's Fair as an event of high interest to mankind. It is the latest and the best of the international exhibitions, the widest in its scope, the most ample in its accommodation. To-day the finest capital in the world has been meta morphosed into one general spectacle by the magic of the Exposition. Visitors flock from all quarters of tint globe to what Frenchmen have been pleased to call the Paradise of oities. France is fortunate as well as the world in thus having charge of its festivities. We have but to fancy a building 180,000 feet square, situated in a park of three times is size, the park itself containing hundreds of pleasure-houses, and we have a rude sketch of the preparation Paris and France have made to feast the nations and exhibit their trea sures, liismark and Napoleon confront oach other with menaces, and France and Prussia catch the first symptoms of warlike spring fever from their angry countenances. The prophets predict war; but, in spite of every portent, we discern the consolation that the world is pleased to exhibit itself in Paris. War might have happened even now if indus trial civilization did not plant itself in the bac kground and pull at the skirts of princes and armies. The great Exhibition, at least, means peace. The South aucl the Reconstruction Uw Can the United Mates be Sued 1 J 'rorn the Timet. Even in the very narrow limitations to which it has necessarily been subjected, the discus sion before the Supreme Court on the applica tion for an injunction against the President, to restrain him from enforcing the Reconstruc tion bill, involved questions of the utmost importance and interest. The application was made in behalf of the State of Mississippi for leave to file a bill for this purpose against the President and General Ord. The' Attorney General opposed the motion on the ground that the Court ought not to entertain such a proceeding against the President. Judge Sharkey, who presented the application, had made up his mind so clearly on this question, that when he heard the point made he at once informed the Attorney-! ieneral that he did not think the objection "amounted to any thing at all: for we expect," said he, "to show that the President of the United States is just as amenable to the process of this Court as any other man in the United States." We suspect that before the Attorney -General had j finished his argument, some ideas had pene trated Sharkey's mind on this point which I had not entered it before. j The gist of the Attorney-General's argument j was, that if the Supreme Court could enter- j tain such a proceeding against the President, it must have the power to enforce its decree ! by imprisoning him if he did not obey it, j which would amount to deposing him; whereas, impeachment is the only mode pro- i vided by the Constitution for the removal of the Executive; and, moreover, that the pro- I ceeding was really one against the United , States, which could' not be sued except by its j own consent. 1 Mr. J. Walker, in answer; undertook to show both that the United States could be sued by a State before the Supreme Court, and that this suit against the President was not a suit ! against the United States. If the Attorney General had presented a rejoinder, we should, doubtless, have had both of these positions most thoroughly overthrown. For to us the answer is obvious, especially to the first. Mr. Walker's argument appears to amount to this: "By the Constitution the judicial power of the United States is declared to extend to eoiitnoversies to which the United States shall be a party, besides other cases. Of these ; cases the Supreme Court is declared to have : original jurisdiction in cases 'in which a State shall be a party.' Therefore the United States j may le, by virtue of this clause of the Consti ! tution, a party to a suit defendant or plaintiff 1 either or, in other words, the United States , may be sued. It granted its consent that it should be sued when it adopted that clause of the Constitution; and when a State is a party, j the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction to 1 entertain the suit." j The dillk-ulty, as it seems to us, with this argument is that it proves too much. If that ause of the Constitution is to be taken as giving the consent oi the Government to be sued, it must be taken to be a General consent, without any limitation whatever. It cannot be held to have been giving consent of the Government to be sued in any suit which should be commenced in favor of one man rather than another, or of a corporation or a State rather '(than of an individual, for the language is2 simply "controversies to which the United States shall be a party." If this clause gives authority for the State of 'Mississippi to bring the United States before the Federal Courts, it gives authority to any citizen to do the same tiling in any con troversy which he has with the Government. Hut if anything is well settled in the law, it is that the Government cannot be sued before the Federal Courts, unless it has given its con sent to suit the otherwise than by the adoption of this clause of the Constitution. The ques tion has been repeatedly before the Courts, and we venture to say that this is the first time that any one has thought of drawing any argument for the opposite claim from that clause ot the Constitution. We do not appre hend that the argument which has been now drawn will be felt to have had any force. 1 1.1 J Ol 41ot 1,-.A 1 n1.m.u..,uM clause only confines to the Federal Courts jurisdiction over contro versies to which the United States shall be a party, without having any reference at all to how they shall bocome a party, if they are to bring a suit, it must be brought la the Federal Courts; or If they oousent to be sued it shall be in the Federal Courts; but certainly there is not to be found in those words my consent given in advance, that they may be sued whenever any one else thinks proper. Uitherto the Government alone has determined for itself how and where and whon it would be sued. We apprehend it will continue to be the only one to determine the question. ' The objection which the Attorney-General raised to the bill in the case of the application from Mississippi did not apply to the one from Georgia, which was directed against Seoretary Stanton, General Grant, and General Pope, and not against the President. Subordinate officers of the Government may be brought Iwfore the Courts, and on this account the application from Georgia was granted and the one from Mississippi refused. The further discussion of the points involved In the Georgia application, and the decision of the Court with regard to them, will be looked for with a degree of interest not wholly unmixed with anxiety. For while, practically speaking, the final issue as between the Southern States and Congress cannot be essentially changed by the dicta of counsel or judges, the immediate effect of the mere appearance of judicial inter position adverse to the law may operate disas trously. Apart from these proceedings, the South is evidently preparing to comply, in good faith, with the requirements of the Recon struction law, under the impression that there is no escape from the obligations it imposes Hence the hope founded upon decisions in cases more or less aualogous that the Geor gia case will not be permitted to proceed be yond the point which tests the jurisdiction of the Court in the premises. The admis sion of tho right of Georgia to file the bill in no manner anticipates tho decision yet to be rendered. The Crisis lu Mexico What Is to Follow! From the Hcruld. All our recent intelligence relating to the affairs of Mexico warrants the conclusion that we are approaching the close ot another act f the dreary and protracted drama. The fates are evidently with tho Republican party; the star of empire has gone down, and clouds pregnant with peril have gathered darkly around the head of poor Maximilian. Any moment may put us in possession of the fact that the Emperor Emperor now only in name is a helpless prisoner in the hands of his enemies. Since the time when the first Napoleon (to compare small things with great) yielded himself up a prisoner into the hands of his mortal enemies, the world has not wit nessed a spectacle so humiliating to royalty. We have little doubt that the intervention of Mr. Seward will be effectual in saving the life of Maximilian, lie has but little chance, now that the voice of tho great republic has been raised in his tavor, to share the late which the ! laws of nations and of war have sanctioned in such cases. The life of Maximilian will doubt- i less be spared; but it may bo found that Mr. Seward has asked too much in asking Juarez to extend equal mercy to all tho Imperial troops that may become prisoners of war. Come what may of Maximilian and his men, it may safely be concluded that the Mexican empire has lost all the little vitality which it ever had, and we are warranted to speculate with freedom on the probaHlities of thefuture. Max safely shipped for Miramar, after, per haps, having paid a Hying visit to his friends in the United States, and with a brighter future opening up before him in the land which gave him birth, what is to become of Mexico ' Is the experience of the last forty years of revolution to go on repeating itself ? Is one of the finest countries in the world to continue to be the hotbed of party strife ? We confess that unless aid come from without we can see for it no other future. The departure of Maximilian will give but a new aspect to the struggle, and factions will contend for supremacy as before, though it may be under new names and for avowedly different pur poses. The history of Mexico siiiee Spanish domination ceased has, on the one hand, amply illustrated the absurdity of the State rights doctrines to which all parties have so tenaciously clung, and on tho other revealed the utter hopelessness of the salvation of the republic, if it is to depend on forces from within. All the different parties in Mexico have in turn fought their way to power, tx ercised their brief authority, and left the country to their successors weaker and more wretched than they found it. The causes which have led to to this state of things in the past still exist, and the moment the bugbear of Imperialism is gone they will tell with ten fold more force than ever. As in the past, so in th efuture, unless some strong arm inter vene, Mexico must continue to be the prey of contending factions, and peace or progress there can be none. What, then, is to be done ? We confess we see no cure but one. Mexico's only hope is to shelter herself under the eagle of the republic of the United States. This is her inevitable doom. Sooner or later she must merge her fate in ours. The time may not be near which shall witness the event; circumstances may hinder it; but it must come to pass; and it will not be for the interest of Mexico if it be long delayed. We do not give expression to these sentiments for the purpose of intimi dating Mexico. Far from it. As we have again and again said, the people of the United States have lis desire to acquire territory by the force of conquest, or to hold it on the principle that j might is right. Hut if it should happen, as indeed it has happened before, that the Mexi can people express a desire to be incorporated with the people of the United States, and seek to come with their rich but undeveloped lands under the benign influence of the Star Spangled Banner, it will not be for the interests of Mexico, for the interests of the United States, or for the interests of humanity at large, if our Gov ernment refuse to accept such an offer. It is not without authority we say it, that with the Church party, the property holders generally, and all who are sick of anarchy and misrule, and interested in the real preservation, the true prosperity of Mexico, such a step would be by no means unpopular, and that in cer tain quarters some such move is already medi tated. If the offer should be made, we know of no reason why it should not be accepted. The objections that our territory is already too large, and that a mixture of races is in compatible with the interests of the republic, are no longer of any weight. Tho progress of science has destroyed the one, and recent events have taken all force from the other. Steamboats, railroads, and telegraphs have done much to make distance of little account; and with the near nrosnect of vast improve ment in telegraphy and the various means of transit, the difficulty ot making the central authority felt in remote and widely scattered provinces is not to be thought of. Now, too, that we are about to admit the Esquimaux and other mysterious people from mo unknown regions of the North within the pale of the Union, we dare not object to the alert and high-spirited Mexicans. The fact is that, as in the case of ancient Rome, the equality of the races has been settled for us, and in spite of us, by the mere force of events. Nor need the Mexicans fear that in the event of such an incorporation taking place, their peculiar privileges would be trampled upon aud their national rights disregarded. Incor poration would not lu any sense imply extinc tion. Local interests then, as now, would be under the control of local authorities. Impe rial matters only would come under the con trol of the central Government at Washing ton. We conclude as we began. Annexation is what is wanted. The interests of Mexico, the interests of the United States, and the .11 n i cause ot unman progress an equally aemana. it. bet Mexico once be thrown open to Ame rican enterprise, and we hesitate not to pre dict that in ten years from that date the popu lation of New York alone, not to speak of other centres of industry, will scarcely bo less than 3,000,000. The Strlkce KIilt-Ilour Lower Prices. From the World. We have published no more important news during the last ten days than our reports of tho strikes of large bodies of mechanics and laboring men in this and other cities, and of the meetings and organizations which have been and are taking place to extend and pro long these strikes. Their influence upon the prices of the necessaries of life, upon the wages of labor, upon the activity of trade, and upeu business enterprises of every sort, is likely to be serious aud widespread. Prices were already excessively high, lireadstuffs have about doubled in price siuce the war began; a barrel of State wheat Hour, which was worth $4-!50 then, is worth over Jill now. lleef has doubled, and pork has pone up fifty per cent, in the same period. Putter has doubled. Rice has doubled; and so on through the catalogue of edibles. What we wear has advanced like wise in an equal or greater degree, be it covering for the head, the body, or the feet, and be the material leather, cotton, linen, or wool. Tho housing of our bodies from the inclemencies of the weather has increased in expensiveness in an equal ratio with the materials for their warmth or their repair. "jildirig materials, and the tools used in their preparation, have doubled in value during the same period. Iron, infinite in the numlter and variety of its uses, has almost exactly doubled, baths and lime have more than doubled. Lumber in every shape has experienced an immense advance; and so on through the list. The success of the strikes will continue and advance the present high prices for all these necessaries of life. Before the strikes began trade was already dull. Many a firm, prudent and wellesta blished, found a balance against them at the end of their last year's business, aud every such firm throughout the country has entered upon the present year's business with exces sive caution, small orders, few risks, and short-time sales. This temper in our mercan tile classes is ot itselt almost sufficient to pro duce the partial paralysis which we are now experiencing. But the causes which bred such a prudent temper in them the lluctua tions of the currency, the high prices and the uncertainty as to their continuance have seemed to establish this partial paralysis as the habitual condition ot the trading class, which is exceedingly large and among the most enterprising in the community. The success of the strikes will make recovery from this paralysis more difficult. Business enterprises of every description the investing of capital in anything new, whether the building of a new house in Fif tieth street, or the establishing ot a new steamship line, or the digging of a new gold mine in Montana have languished for the same and similar reasons. New York, for ex ample, is over-crowded. But small provision has been made during the last seven years, or is making now, for the accommodation of this surplus population. Successful strikes will tend to paralyze what enterprise still survives. It is in these circumstances that the me chanics of New York, the miners of Penusyl-' vania and New Jersey, the iron-moulders of Pittsburg, the operatives of New England, are organizing strikes. It is in such a condition of our commercial and business activity, and in such an era of high prices, that petitions are going to all the State Legislatures for eight-hour laws, which demagogues tell our working-men (and they believe) will give them ten hours' wages for eight hours' work. What these demands of labor at bottom signify, who can doubt ? They signify that the national debt and its attendant taxes begin at last to grind the faces of the poor, as well as to empty the pockets of the well-to-do. Four years of war, hundreds of thousands of men slaughtered, millions, billions of treasure spent like gunpowder which is blown into the air and seen no more can these things be and no one suffer save those who are killed and those who mourn ? These strikes are the workingman's cry of distress. Once the United States was the working-man's harvest-field. Here ho had high wages, plenty of work, and all the means of living cheap. He could educate his children easily, feed them and clothe them well, and lay up against a rainy day out of the surplus of his earnings. Now he can barely support himself and his family, and the most pinching economy will hardly provide against sickness or for the feeding of a new mouth. As for the luxuries in which he once could indulge the excursion, the new dress, the hospitality they are as impossible to him as a house ou Fifth avenue. These strikes, we repeat, are the workingman's cry of distress; they are his dumb protest, so to speak, against that sectional party calling itself to-day, with sublime effrontery, a "Union" party, which assisted and spurred the hot-heads of the South to bring on the war; against the same men who prolonged it and squandered double its needful cost; against the same men and the same party the "Union" paity, forsooth who for two years of peace have defeated all tho victories oi war, and who now insult the North with the prostration of all its industries, and the South with the humiliation of a submission to military despotism, as the "necessary" con ditions of reconstruction. That is what these labor strikes signify; and he must have a heart of stone who can hear without infinite pain and sympathy this cry of distress wrung from the men Avho have no language but this, and no remedy but this, for the wrongs and the distress they endure. But the gunpowder blown into air and the blood that makes green the Virginia hill -sides must all be paid for, to the uttermost farthing. Evil would cease to be that which it is, if it did not entail its inheritance of suffering. War would be no such calamity as it is, were the sorrow all ended when the peace-bells r'ni". No class can now hope to escape the burdens of war. They are a load which will not Stay shifted any more than the weight of the atmosphere win. wr and it comes in by the windows; along road ending at a pinhole is as short as the shortest, to this universal pressure. And so it is with the pressure of a gigantic national debt. v " 4. .. ., tl,ui wvmt. unci nnt Should Hie siriKei-H cju.jr w.. f l.ilni. f.iurer xhlOS Will be UD the Wittes mUu.,.v-- r Bunched, fewer houses will be bmMewer houses painted, less iron cast, less work of Ivery sort wiUle done at the higher price; consumption thus curtailed markets i will be depressed irresistibly, capitalists ind s posed to invest in new enterprises, and the .rice of labor will thus be reduced, by this APRIL 17, 1867. nnforood combination of every other in terest, to a level with the ability and the willingness of those who employ labor to pay lor it. i The eight-hour law agitation and the strikes for higher waes for ten hours' labor are one and the same thing, and in the present condi tion of things will be equally fruitless of any good result. Business which is done at a loss v.ow, cannot bear higher wages ana larger losses. The striking mechanics will yet learn for experience will be their cruel teaoher that, even if they succeed in their strikes, they fail in their purpose. Prices must go down in order to mitigate their own sufferings in tho least, to give life or prosperity to pro duction or enterprise of any sort, or to ren der possible competition with the enterprise of other countries; ana notning wouia so soon compel a fall in prices as lower wages for work, r.very dollar thus yieiuea wouia come back to them with usury, for the purchasing power of the lower wages would, after a fall of prices, much more than equal tne purchasing power of the wages which they demand, in the absence of that fall of prices which their strikes hinder. How much is added to the unavoidable suf fering which elicits this cry of distress from the workingmen of the country, in the shape of avoidable siylering causca iy an irredeem able paper currency, an oppressive protective tariff, and an inequitable distribution of the internal taxation, it is not eay to measure. But these are the problems which are nrst to be solved when the people choose to put thoir affairs in the hands of those who are anxious and capable to solve them. Meanwhile, let not the workingmen of the country inflame their own wounds by postponing their only present remedy a fall of prices.
