Democrat,
A Monarchy for the South.
A Southern planter writes the following
letter to a Tennessee paper:
My Dear Sin—I am somewhat acquainted with the secrets of Secessionists, and
deem it important to the people of the
whole United States Government to acquaint them in due time of the ulterior design of the secession movement, The question is not, vor never bas been, the protec‘tion of the institution of slaves with South
Carolina, but a desire for a change of Government, and to avoid the effects of Northern policy upon the products of the South,
as it has been represented to me by one of
the secret agents that bas been traveling all
over the country for the last six months,
incog., for the purpose of bearing up the
masses in the border States to the cause of
But, to come at once to their policy:
First, it is to adopt the Constitution of the
States, under a Provisional Government,
for ove year, and, in’ the meantime, to get
. the Border States to unite with them ; and, .
. when that is accomplished, then, at the end
/of one year, to call a Convention of the seceding States and to. frame a Government
upon a monarchial basis—and the Ministers of the Southern Confederacy are instructed especially to so represent to the
foreign Courts. Republican form of Government isto be abolished, and the last
vestige of Democracy to be destroyed uader this new order of things.
But the Secessionists are to withhold this
intention from the people until the new .
Government can be organized in such a)
. way as to give it strength to secare its ob. PRICES OF LIKENESSES! .
jects, If any ehall doubt this disclosure, if
it were possible to compel by any means,
the leaders of Secession to make oath as to
the trath of every word above remitted, the
people would find every word true.
I did not promise secresy of this discloeure, although it was doubtless implied.
Bat I deemit important to the whole coun
try that it should be in due time exposed

A CENTENNIAL.-It is a remarkable fact,
which has not been hitherto noticed, that this is
the centennial anniversary of the commencement of the resistance of the Colonies to EngIn the summer of 1761, the opposition
to the infamous ‘‘ Writs of Assistance,” in Bos_ton was commenced by James Otis, at that time
. the leading lawyer of Massachusetts. John
Adams was then a young man, just commencing the study ofthe law. Is his reminiscence
of the famous speech of Otis, before the royal
authorities, he wrote, “Then and there the revolution commenced.” Three years later, (1764)
Samuel Adams wrote the first “rebellious”
State paper, (the instructions to the Representatives of Boston,) denying the authority of
Parliament to tax the Colonies; and a year
later, Patrick Henry came out with his celebrated ‘Virginia Resolutions,” which Wirt
says, ‘set the ballin motion.” But it was in
1761 that the first open-mouthed protest was
made against Parliamentary encroachments on
the rights of the Colonies. It is somewhat singular that in exactly a century after the commencement of the Revolution, which pro. claimed liberty to the people and to the world,
' the hands of traitors should be stretched out to
destroy the goodly temple which the great and
the virtuous reared for their posterity. It is
fortunate that there remains patriotism enough .
in the land to crush out treason, and preserve
the blessings of liberty for future generations.
Tue Guarmas Rattroap.—The Star of
the West, published at Ures, the Capital of
Sonora, Mexico, says in its issue of March
29th:
A bill bas passed the Congress of Sonora
to construct a railroad from Guaymas to
Il Paso, in the name of the Mexican and
Awerican Company of New York—the pias .
of road to be submitted to the Goverument
of Sonora before going into operation, The
implements used in the construction to be
free from taxation for the period of twentyfive years. The privilege of establishing a
telegraphic line along the route bas also
been granted—Government despatches to
be free. Plans, etc., to be snbmitted to the
. Government withia eighteen monthe.

by all the means wh ch the laws of ne
and usages of civilized warfare place at

Now, therefore, I, Jeffereon Davis President of the Confederated States of America,
. do issue this, my proclamation, inviting all
. those who may desire by service in private

Government in resisting so wanton and

the condition that the owners, officers,

such commissioned vessel, shall observe the

instructions given them for regulation of
of their conduct, that shall satisfy all damages done contrary to the tenor thereof by

may be adopted for a common defense, and
, by which, under Divine Providence, we
may hope for a for a speedy, just and honorable peace,
