The Mexican Question.
The mystery, or rather the obscurity,
which surronnds the Mexican Questioii,has
had the effect of awakening much interest
oa the subject all over the country. That
some arrangement has been effected between
the United States and French Governments,
appears to be reduced to a certainty. What
the exact nature of that understanding may
be, is not quite so apparent. It seems,
however, that the French troops were to be
withdrawn, in detachments, commencing on
the l3t of November and ending within six
months, in accordance with the terms of an
agreement made some time in last June.
If the statements of the N. Y. Herald are
correct, we are to receive by this treaty the
territory of Lower California, 750 miles long
and from 30 to 120 miles wide, with an area of
200, 000 square miles, and a population of
mixed breed Indians, negroes and whites
of probably 18,000 ; and, on the other hand,
our Government is to secure the payment
of the indemnity claims, amounting to per
haps a hundred millions of dollars, which
were the cause of the original armed coali
tion of France, England and Spain. . Hu
mor has it also that the payment of Mexi
can bonds held by American citizens is to be
provided for. In addition, it is stated that
the United States was to recognize the em
pire of Maximillian after the departure of
the French troops, and this appears to have
been the understanding of the French Min
ister of btate. lhe recognition story is,
however, contradicted, and the fact that
Maximillian has announced his intention to
abdicate, the "throne" of Mexico, seems to
imply a complete abandonment of the pro
ject of establishing an "empire" on our bor
ders. Indeed, the latest reports are to the
effect that the decisive step of abdication
has already been taken, and that Maximilian
is now on his way to Eutope. ,
On the 23d instant, a special Cabinet
meeting was convened, for the purpose, it is
alleged, of considering our foreign relations.
The telegraphic dispatches, to the Associa
ted Press, in this connection, say :
It may be stated that it is known the
French Government has declared its purpwe
to disregard the arrangement ior the with-
drawal of the first detachment of the French
troops from Mexico, during this month as
agreed upon between Ir. Seward and
Drouyn D Lhuys. The French Emperor
has notified our Government that he cannot
effect the withdrawal of the troops until
next spring, when he proposes to embark
the entire force .at once. In view of the
failure of .Napoleon to comply ' with his
agreement to withdraw a portion of these
troops, and inasmuch as the notification of
this forfeiture of the agreement co:no3 at
this late day. our Government is not dispo
sed to put full confidence in the further
promises of the French Emperor. It is in
timated in official circles that iutructi'ns
have been sent to our Minister in France to
demand the immediate withdrawal ot the
French troops tromMexico.
A telegram from New Orleans.dated Nov.
24th says a steamer sailed with dispatches
from the Government, for delivery to Gen.
Sherman f nd Minister Campbell, atTanipi
co or Vera Cruz.
We give these rumors and dispatches
without, vouching for the accuracy of either.
If our readers can draw from them a satis
factory solution of the Mexican muddle, we
confess they are able to do more than we can.
Such is the unsettled condition of affairs
in Kentucky and Tennessee that the civil
authorities at many points are asking for
military protection to enable them to enforce
the laws. The officers of Courts are in ma
ny instances deterred from holding Courts
in consequence of the threats of desperadoes.
Railway trains have been thrown off the
track, and passengers as well as express
safes robbed. - Horse-stealing and burglar
ies are common. The citizens, in some of
the counties, have organized societies for
their protection, which partake somewhat
of the-character of the California Vigilance
Committees, inasmuch as they arrest and
hang the desperadoes. Upon the whole,
Kentucky is not the most pleasant -place to
Jive in at the present time.
It look? very much as if Horace Greeley
would be elected to the U. S. Senate from
New York. The IleralU Times, Post, Ad
vertUer, of that city, with at least three
fourths of the Republican press of the rural
districts and cities of the interior of the
State, strongly urge his claims.
Judge Alexander Walker, formerly editor
of the Cincinnati Enquirer, and now rcsid
in in New Orleans, has just obtained a
verdict for $25,000 in the latter city, as a
fee for saving 28,000 bales of cotton for a
Rebel widow.

' Pleased for Once.
' Every reader of the Clearfield Republican
which certainly is a great misnomer for an
organ of theg Latter-Day Democracy will
doubtless remember how troubled in spirit
the editor of that papr has been for sever
al years over the condition of National pol
itic, anl with what bitterness he denounced
man who entertained enlarged and liberal
views regarding the great questions that
have been and are yet agitating the public
mind. In his opinion, the war for the sup
pression of the Rebellion was "unconstitu
tional" the emancipation policy was arbi
trary and unjust the measures and means
pdopted to safe the Union were tyrannical
and revolutionary. President Lincoln with
reverence be his name spoken was a"clown"
Charles Sumner a "fanatic" Thaddeus
Stevens a "Union smasher" Horace Gree
ley, a 'hypocrite"' Henry Wilsou a "cow
ard" Joseph Holt a "knave" General
Butler a "beast" John W. Forney a "dog"
whilst the time was when Andrew John
son was a "sot," Seward a "demagogue,"
and Stanton a "tyrant" and "blood
hound." Even a patriotic woman, Miss
Anna Dickinson, was, defiantly we presume,
stigmatized as a "white wench," and the
Republican party, in the aggregate, as "nigger-worshippers,
' ' "miscegenationists," and
advocates of "negro equality."
In this peculiarly amiable frame of mind,
the editor of the Republican has continue 1,
until the present time. Everything that
failed to square itself with his ideas of ''De
mocracy," was wrong everybody that re
fused to entertain political sentiments akin
to hi? own, was in error. But, at last, we
are happy to announce, George has been
pleased. His heart, it seems, has been
gladdened by the course of one man, whose
partizan pulse did not, heretofore, beat re
sponsive to his own. ' In his last issue, in a
leading editorial, he makes it known that
"Gerrit Smith, the noted New York aboli
"litionist, has open!y declared against ne
"gro suffrage !" This, to George, is "glad
tidings of great joy." It is a "rare occur
rence," requiring special and prominent
mention in his columns and the opportuni
ty is promptly embraced. Wc think it was
really kind in a "noted Abolitionist" like
Gerrit, to "swing around the circle" in
that way, in order to do something agree
able to his former opponents. It has
opened np a fountain of good feeling in
George's heart that thus far had remained
stagnant and unused. It ha3 enabled him,
for once, to speak approvingly of a political
heretic one, too, who "went crazy during
the trial of old John Brown." And Gerrit,
it appears, is not making any halt way bu
siness about it. He is going the "whole
figure;" for, according to the Republican,
"he alleges that Thad. Stevens' constitu
tional amendment is the greatest outrage
"ever attempted upon the American peo
"ple." This declaration is no doubt par
ticularly agreeable to our neighbor, and it is
quite, probable that the vigorous denuncia
tion of "the great commoner,'." by Gerrit,
had no little to do with producing the exu
berance of delight displayed by George.
But this is not alL There is , still another
item of grafulation. "Smith'scourse," we
are further informed by the editor of the
Republican, "if fully developed and practi
"eally carried out, must end in Democracy,
"which," according to George's notion,
"will be quite an improvement on his former
"life." There may, possibly, be a differ
ence of opinion on this point. There are
those who are skeptical about the good ten
dencies of a party that, like the Copper
head, sympathized with the Rebels in their
efforts to destroy the Union, and who now
elect to Congress a notorious prize fighter
and black-leg the representative of the
rum-shops of New York and of those that
delighted in burning negro orphan assylunis
and school-houses in that "lively" city not
many months cgone. Still, as the discussion
of a matter of this kind might tend to mar
the pleasing anticipations that are flitting
through the mind of the editor of the Re
publican in consequence of the accession of.
"Gerrit Smith, the noted Abolitionist," to.
the ranks of the Latter-Day Democracy, we
will refrain from it, and will wish our neigh
bor joy in the companionship of this new
found friend rnd champion. We are the
more inclined to do this because one "James
"II. Reagan, of Texas, a red hot secession
"ist and Postmaster General under the Con
federate Government of Jefferson Davis,"
we have the same authority for saying, ha3
so far forgotten his duty as to "declare hini
"self in favor of negro suffrage, and is now
"engaged in advocating that abominable
"heresy irTexas. " We think Jeemes ought
to be ashamed of turning himself "into an
' :instrumen t to carry ou t , " wh at G eorge calls
"the deviltries of Sumner Stevens & Co."
It is really too bad, and would scarcely be
tolerated for a moment by the Democracy,
were it not more than counterbalanced by the
opportune, invaluable, and overshadowing
acquisition of Gerrit Smith.
Let us, however, for a moment, consider
this matter a little more seriously. Hereto
fore the Republican has condemned, in un
measured terms, perhaps every act and dec
laration of '-the noted abolitionist, Gerrit
Smith." Now it notices, in a commenda
tory manner, one of this same man's vaga
ries, because, forsooth, it happens to accord
with its own views, but which is at variance
with the inevitable course of events, as ac
knowledged by prominent organs of its own
party. Judge Reagan, of Texas, and other
discriminating men of the South, believing
that there can be no restoration without a
reasonable concession to the dominant loyal
sentiment of the country, and regarding the
defeat of the Constitutional amendment as
almost certain, are urging their peoplo to
extend impartial suffrage to tnc coiorea a an
as the only means of again bringing their
States into full relation with the General
Government. It is for doing this that the
editor of the Republican denounces J udge
Reagan, "for getting that the managers of the
Democratic party have been contending that
the question of suffrage was one that each
State should determine for itelf,thereby im
pliedly holding that, if the people of Texas,
or any other Southern State,saw fit to grant
the elective franchise to the blacks, "the bal
ance of mankind" had no reason for com
plaint. Therefore it appears but reasonable
that the editor of the Republican, if he de
sired to be at all consistent or had the least
regard for the teachings and traditions of
his party, would commend Southern men
for moving in the direction of justice and
liberal, enlightened public sentiment, and
would reserve his censure for such as inter
posed obstacles to prevent them doing that
which would tend to both better their own
condition and to elevate a hitherto oppres
sed race in the scale of manhood and intel
ligence.
The Treatment of the Eepublicaas.
No political party in the hi.-awry of the
republic, says the 2orth 'American, has
ever encountered so much malignity at tne
hands of opponents, has ever been treated
with such uniform aisrespect and reproach,
has ever been so fiercely assailed, as that
bearing the name of llepublicau. The" first
Senators it had in Congress were formally
refused a place on any of the committees,
because they were considered as "outside
of any healthy political organization." Of
these men one was the present secretary 01
State, William H. beward; another the
present Chief J ustice of the feunreme tourt.
Salmon P. Chase; another the present Min
ister to fcpam, John 1'. Hale ; and the pre-
teutious and contemptuous statesmen
who did this were Messrs. Jefferson Davis,
Hunter and Mason, of Virginia, and the
rest of the rebel crew.
When there seemed a prospect that tre
mont. the candidate of this party, would be
elected President, the southern Democrats
made preparations to secede. hen at
length the candidate of the party, Abraham
Lincoln, -really was elected President, the
southern Democrats did cause the rebellion
they had so contemplated. When wo had
crushed this rebellion, and the submission
of the . south was inevitable, a Democrat
murdered the Republican President, in or
der that a man who had been a southern
pro -slavery Democrat might take his place.
When a Republican Congress exercises its
constitutional rights, and legislates accord"
ing to its own principles, the Democratic
party demands that it shall be expelled from
the Capital at the point of the bayonet, and
the whole Democratic pack yelp at it as a
Rump Congress. '
So it is through the wliole history of the
party, from the hour of its birth. It has
met with nothing but contumely, oppres
sion, arbitrary usurpation, assassination,
slander, and every other weapon that could
be used by envenomed hate. During all
this time we have counselled moderation
towards our opponents and opposed extreme
measures. But we have grown weary of
this persecution, and think that there has
now arrived a period when we should put a
stop to it, as we know that we have the
means of doing. Our enemies invariably
show us no quarter when they have the
power. In the entire south, even to this
day, our party is not allowed to organize, to
run a ticket, or to advocate its views. We
hold nothing but what our main strength
keeps tenaciously in our grasp.
If we are to have no quarter shown us, if
the enemy will still continue to tight under
the black flag, we can do nothing else than
accept the policy, and act upon it ourselves
We must now insist upon the uttermost
fraction of all we can rightfully claim. We
owe to our opponents not the slightest con
sideration, lhey have not treated us with
the most ordinary decency, and though it
is not in the nature ot our people to retali
ate their rudeness and offensive language.
we must put the pressure of the laws upon
them, and wield the actual power we pos
sess to its fullest extent. As the rebels in
the late civil war did not act with houor,
chivalry or courtesy according to the rales
of war, so the Democratic party, in the
same spirit, would, under any circumstan
ces, rather act meanly and dishonorably to
wards the Republicans that evince either
respect or courtesy.
It is cjear that the enemy we have to deal
with does not acknowledge the force of any
rules whatever. We must fight fire with
fire. AH we iiave we have fought for des
perately, and we must be ready to use what
ever opportunity offers to make good what
we have gained: This is not a matter of
choice It is sheer necessity. We cannot
possibly go on as we have done heretofore.
Our rights, must be respected, and there
seenis to be no other way of compelling
this than by making the enemy feel the
power we have.
'Dcke" Gwix. Several letters written
from Mexico by Dr.' William Gwin, to his
mother, which were intercepted by our Gov
ernment, have been published. Gwin re
veals that he was in the confidence both of
Maximilian and the French Emperor, that
his son had control of a rich gold mine, ar.d
was asking the concession of all the rail
roads in Sivoloa. Gwin was in absolute
ecstacy over the gl ttering fortune just with
in his grasp, but cruel Mr. Seward wrote to
our Minister in Paris, and the whole scheme
was exploded Poor Gwin.
The Detroit Advertiser says: . It is con
fidently believed that while in Congress
John Morrissey will turn up a "trump."
ne will also act as "Faro" to President
Johnson's Moses. 5 In case he should prate
about the Constitution, as President John
son says, he will be an easy man to "spot."
Those Congressmen who call upon Mr.
Morrissey will have no need to take their
"cards" as he will have plenty of thai article.

one side of the road to the other, invited
some of his neighbors to assist him. In ta
