D3T Thoro is in the whole machinery
of a nation no more powerful agent than
its newspapers. Their potency is univer
sally felt and acknowledged, and when
properly conducted, with an aim to bene
fit the conntry and not the printer alone,
they become great moral agents, shedding
light into dark places and making bright
the saddest pictures of li'e. Never in the
history of this country have we been called
upon so loudly; by circumstance and situa
tion, for a united press. The dark cloud
of adversity has settled upon us, proving
the power of the sword a power to be
dreaded, feared, and we may say, hated;
and it .now remains for us to prove that
the pen is still mightier. How shall we
do this'( By uniting our efforts, support
ing every good measure, upholding im
provements of,such kind as will make us
a prosperous people; by assisting the
creat masses of llio country with advice
and encouragement, to adopt such a course
aa will soonost remove all traces of war and
give to our country vitality and spirit.
As tho dark and lowering clouds that
now spot our national horizon gather
around uS, the people turn to the press
for light. Shall they not have it'/ Shall
not the dark and damnable designs of
those opposed to justice, right and truth
bo exposed j their perfidy made plain and
they themselves be subjected to that wit
tering scorn and honest contempt to which
they are so justly entitled ? Tho press
can do this as the representative of the
people. We do not accept the opinions of
a nowspaper as the mere expressions(of one
man, but as the opinions of that groat
body by which a paper is supported. The
people think, tho paper speaks, and as it
speaks others are made to think, and so on
until tho press becomes the great head p!
party, tho spirit of power
Tho press throughout the South is act
ing nobly. They cry out and spare not
against all usurpation of power, openly and
forcibly condemn that which is wrong, and
thus often defeat it. Now is tho voice oi
all the newspapers of tho South, and
many in the North, raised against tho op
position to Andrew Johnson and his wise
policy. That they may be suocesful, wc
sincerely hope, in defeating Radioalisn
and bringing about such a desirable state
of affairs as wo think Mr. Jobnsonls bolicric
tends to produce. Wo extend the papers
of tho South, and especially those of oui
sister State Tennessee, our hand. Ti
them and the cause fin- which they fight
i. c., the restoration of tho South to eivi
rights and privileges, wo loud our arms
Wc arc in favor of Mr. Johnson so long a:
he is for us, and oppose all who oppose
him so far; because we thus represent, a;
we believe, tho views of the community
that support us, as well as the views of tin
thinking classes of the whole £!tatc.
THE CASE OF^JEFFEKSOai DAVIS.
Now that civil law is restored all ovei
the South, there is nothing wanting ti
perfect the restoration policy of Mr John
son hut an amnesty proclamation and tin
release of Jefferson Davis Simple jus
tiec roquiros that tho chief of the late Con
cH Antal Ha AtfliAi* tviorl fm*
son,” as it is called, or unconditionally re
leased; and as every day that passe;
makes more apparent the impossibility o
obtaining a conviction on such a charge
the only course that remains open to th
Government, consistent with its own dig
nity, is to release him. This should hav
been done long ago, but even at the olev
cuth hour it will bo hailed as abotm byth
South. To a people of lofty spirit am
quick sensibilities, there is somothiug in
tensely mortifying in tho idea that an
amelioration of their condition is to b
purchased by the suffering of their Icade
and representative. They know that Jet
ferson Davis would not have been mor
hardly dealt with than any other prom:
nent man in the civil or military service c
the Confederacy, had he not been regarc
ed as tho personification of Southern fee
ing and principle, the very embodiment t
the popular will and purpose. Therefor
it is that any indignity offered to him i
not only an outrage on their feelings, hr
an insult to their pride. Therefore it i
that they cling to lum, and just in propoi
tion to tho length of his punishment wi
be the increase of his influence. A gene
ous people never forget their martyrs.
The Radical party will never attempt t
try Jefferson Davis for treason for the
aim is not tho vindication of a principl
hut the conviction of an individual. Ft
our part, we would like to hear treason d
fined once for all. We would like to kno
if fidelity to the Constitution can mal
amends for treason to the Administratioi
or if loyalty to a party is a higher virti
than allegiance to 1'reedJhi.
We would like to know if there is ai:
tribunal iu thfc laud that lias the hard

hood to question tlie right of a people tt
govern themselves, and to choose the form
of government most consonant to theii
tastes and interests , if there is ariyAmur
ican so false and recreant as to throw s
slur upon the patriots of the Revolution
by publicly apostatizing from the political
creed t hey died to establish—that govern
ment rests upon the consent of the gov
erned. Jefferson Davis believed in tiii.
antiqnntod doctrine, and acted up to hit
belief “The head and front of his of
fending hath this extent, no more ” This
is his crime—will he be tried for it? No,
for not in all the United States outside of
Yankeelnnd could there he found a jury to
convict him. This the President knows
full well. Then why not accept the al
ternative, and sot him lrco. Let Mr.
Johnson do this, and he will have done
more toward conciliating the South than
by any singlo act of his Presidential ca
reer. Let him do this, and ho will be
more popular than any President since the
days of Washington. And, by the way,
the desire of popularity is no ignoble am
bition in a ruler, and Mr. Johnson may
strive for popularity without lessening his
character, or loworing the dignity of lii:

THE SENATE OVER THE PRESI
DENT’S VETO.
From tko Metropolitan Record.]
The Senate of the United States, or we
should say a portion of the United States
Senate hag passed the unconstitutional
measure falsely called “the Civil Rights
Dill” over the veto of the President, and
the Radicals arc everywhere jubilant. So
far as they have *thc power they have
manifested a determination to level every
defense raised by the Constitution about
the liberty of the people. Solemn com
pavtO, ^u*uvxj ncynoj uii
arc Set at naught, and the traitorous pur
poso is openly avowed to deprive nine or
ten millions of Americans of the rights ot
citizenship. The hope was entertained
that after the clear and able exposition of
the bill by tho President, it would ns in
the ease of the other infamous lladical
production now defunct, never be resusci
tated; but the Congressional traitors have,
it scorns, determined to court their fate,
and it may bo li ke that of the French Jac
obins, to whom they bear a remarkable re
semblance. It was at one time feared
that they would avoid a conflict with the
President, but all apprehensions on that
score have been set at rest, and the line of
demarkation is too distinctly marked, too
sharply drawn, to permit of a coalition
hereafter. In the mean time it is well tc
consider, now thafthc law has been passed,
how is it to be carried into operation.
1. The law must he sustained by the
State Courts before it can be carried intc
effect.
2. The President's proclamation resto
ring civil law throughout the country, and
re-establishing the Constitution as the su
premo law of the laud, renders this bil
nugatory and void, and it cannot now be
applied to the South any more than to the
North, East or West.
li. As tho President has in lus vote
message declared the law unconstitutional
he lnmsclf would bo acting iu violation o:
the Constitution were he to execute the
provisions of tho bill.
4. Congress being simply the Legisla
tive Department of the Government cun
not execute its own laws, and mast depone
exclusively upon tho Executive, sustained
by the Judiciary.
f>. It Was admitted by Senator Tnuli
bull that the bill authorized tho arrest o
a State judge who should pronounce ;
judgment in conflict with its provisions
and a ministerial officer who should cxe
i euto processes based upon sucli a judg
rneht. We have no idea that arrests made
under such circumstances would be tolora
ted by the judges of tho United States
Courts. And now that the writ of llabca;
! Corpus has been restored, suppose that ;
State judge should discharge from th<
custody of the officers and agents of tin
Preedmon’s Bureau persons believed In
• him to hayo been unlawfully attested am
i to bo illegally restrained of their liberty
where would be the remedy ?
G. Again, Suppose a Civil suit is insti
luted against- a negro by a . citizen of :
State which does not place a negro on ai
equal position with a white man in al
respects. The hill provides that the ne
i gro shall have “the right, to remove sue!
t eauso lov trial to me unitcu state- juoun
, Who will enforce his assumed right
> Under the Constitution of the Unitci
. States, the jurisdiction of the State Court
> in such a ease would be Unquestionable
- and th.o State Courts would certainly no
j relinquish it. The Court Would disregart
I the provisions of this bill and proceed witl
- the ease, and there is no power to proven
it. The judgment might bo appealed, bu
3 the highest Court of this State would b
r the last resort. The same would tak
- place in ease of the eudictmcnt of a negr
c for an offence against a Siato, or a pi ok
- cation instituted by a State against one c
f its owu .officers lor refusing to execute on
- of its own laws. The jurisdiction of th
State Courts would be maintained by then
f and could not legally be interfered witl
c The days of arbitrary resistance to the ju
;; diciary of the country have passed. A
t any rate, the President will not resort t
s extraordinary means to enforce moasun
- which he has declared to be imcoustUi
II tional, unjust and impolitic,
■- All things considered, it is likely tin
the Radicals will have very luSle cau
o for rejoicing. It is said they will impeae
r Uie President. Lot them; but it is fyi
;, to presume that the legally constitute
-r executive will uot remain idlo, and tin
he will not permit our liberties to be l'u;
iv i ther imperiled by the conspirators who ar
o | now plotting their overthrow. Air. Join:
i, t son has been too tolerant; he has allowo
e ■ then to remain in office who are in diret
j antagonism with the policy of his admini
y ; tration, and to make use of their otFiei;
•-; position and influence in favor of his polit
" T ..
ieal opponents. He owes it not only to
himself, but to the people of wliose rights
he is now the champion, to make a clear
sweep of his enemies and thiers, And to
put good and trust-worthy men in thier
places. Let him do this, and there need
i be no fears of the future, but there is no
j time to lose.
METHODIST GENERAL CONFERENCE.
Proposal Ch'tvge of Name—Interesting
Committee Reports.
On Wednesday, a committee offered tho fol
lowing important report to the National Gen
eral Conference, now Bitting in New Orleans :
The Committee on Changes of Economy
beg leave to offer Report No. 1, as follows :
Tho subject of a cliango in the style and title
ofthe Methodist Episcopal Churcli Mouth, lias
been brought before tho committee by a me
morial from several preachers ofthe Kansas
Conference, and by a paper presented by Or.
A. L. P. Green, first, to tho Tennessee Confer
ence, and afterward presented to the Georgia,
Montgomery and Mobile Conferences, and by
them all referred to this body. Both memo
rials ask for a change in the name of our
church. The latter paper argues for it on the
ground “that there is no longer any constitu
tional or conventional difficulty in the way of
the M. E. Churcli Mouth, forming churches
wherever an opening may bo found in tiuy part
of the United States:” and that the word
“South” is not appropriate to a church, whose
field ia tho world.
Tho committee has given the memorial
careful consideration, and with very general
unanimity agree that tho prayer ofthe me
morialists should bo granted.
When the Chu-ch was divided it was ex
pected that because of the peaceful separation
•f th® original Methodist Episcopal Church,
one portion should represent Methodism in the
Northern States—the other part represent it
in the Southern (Staler.. In this view the Dis
cipline recites (part I., chap. II., sec. 2, pp.
Eland 15) that, our organization was estab
lished for the ’‘South and Southwest,” and in
another paragraph for the “slaveholding
States.’.’ The word “South” was appended
to the name of our Church to distinguish us
frbm tho other branch of Methodism as indi
cating what tho Rian of Separation provided
for, that we should be ihe Church of a section.
Slrt tlm WnvLhm’n ( Impcli wliiph tli'l lint
change its name, was just, as truly the Church
of a section. But (he Plan of Separation no
longer confines its to the “South and South
west.” Hence term “South,” that indicated
that wo were localized as being the Church of
a section, is no longer appropriate to our
Church.
Yet the word has not lost its geographical
significance, whenever applied to .‘.‘portion of
the States of this Union. What was the South
in 3 846 is the South yet; and a church in a
Northern State connected with our organiza
tion would not he happily designated by a
term which seems to identify it with the
Southern States alone, as it was designed that
the word “South” should do for our church,
when it twas organized.
Besides this, we are assured by brethren
who are in circumstances to know the facts,
that beyond our border a great and efficient
door is opening to ns, but that the word
“South” remains a source of embarrassment,
and a positivo hindrance to our progress.
Those who stretch forth their hands to us tell
us; that to unite us unless we will adopt a
name that indicates that we are holding
church relations to the nation, ra her tiian to
a part of it-— and that part outride the limits
—will place them in relations to olhers that
will greatly increase their difficulties. We
believe, fhattfor their sakes, we should, like
St. Pajil, “he made all things to all men,” that
wo may. by all means, save some, where no
principle fa involved in such a course of ac
tion. None, we believe, pretend that princi
ple forbids a change of name. Some prefer
the chase e. but oppose it now; thinking it
would be better to defer it for a few years.
The change itself is not opposed because it is
wrong, ilonee, St. Basil’s rule applies here.
Ought we not, however, at once to eliminate a
term which makes us seem a sectional church,
hedged in by real or .implied geographical
limitations, if by doing so wo can carry the
Gospel to mul 5 tides whom we could not oth
erwise reach?
. Your committee a-e ally aware that' i many
faithful and zealous members of the church,
there:is a natural repugnanoe to any change
of name. Mariir Lave suiforod grievously for
their adherence to our communion, and the
title lifts been ilie occasion of their suffering.
They had bpen found faithful at ilie risk of the
: loss of all things. The name is now a hallow
ed name to them. We deeply sympathize
with these noble b eihren, and would go as
i faP toward concilia ting theih as is possible,
and yet reunion true 10 ilie int wests of Christ's
Kingdom in ail sections and for all lime. Wo
1 bog them to study our position before they
i judge us hastily. Let. 1 horn reflect, that, if they
are aggrieved by a change—olhers, perhaps
thousands, will bo kept f. om our communion
If we change not. If (ho Gospel is due to
thorn, is it no also duo to those olhors? Would
our beloved brethren tie our hands so that wo
cannot carry to those at king it the bread oi
: life? We think too well of them to suppose
that they will feel aggrieved with this Con
j ference for making a change now, which they
1 would prefer postponed because wo keep jn
■ view for the whole country, and for years to
l come, me iiii-eresi.s oi luut cnurcu iui wmcu
they have suffered so njuch.
: We are fully persuaded that if their rgpre
, sentatives here will tell them how this Confer
ence honors them for their sacrifices and, loves
* them for their constancy, and yet witliali has
, felt compelled, for the sake of the Work Which
l the Master has committed to it, to do what
[ they would not have preferred, those bvothren
can convince them that this hotly is actuated
1 by the purest motives—that is the advance
t ment of the kingdom of Christ.
t If any suppose that the Conference has beer:
2 impelled to a hasty act by circumstances that
have recently grown up around us, they ntftj
' be met by the lact-that as early as 1804, and
3 again in 1808, the subject oi a change ot
- name was brought before the General Confer
f once. There is new lying upon the table, un
c tier the rule, a resolution offered toward th<
dose of the session of 1808, (Journal p. 014,'
proposing to change the title to that of “Tlu
> Methodist Church.” In the press of business
i- it was not reached, lladit been, it is highly
- probable that, the Conference would have (Tout
j-1 then wlmt it is proposed to do now : and this
| Committee believes that the resolution should
1 j bo called up and acted upon at this session ol
s j this Conference. Wo ott'ev, therefore, the fol
1- lowing resolution for adoption :
RyolvtJ, By the General Conference of the
t Methodist Episcopal Church South, in Confer
■ enoeassembled; that we change the style and

The <>ucen of England in Love.
j London Cor. Cincinirrifi Commercial.]
I had nearly written royal scandal, for to
1 tell the plain truth, the talk that now - lloat.s
through private society in London is little
j less lam pained to say that this, gossip in
j volvos no less a personage than Queen Victoria.
| It has for a long time been on people’s tongues,
j but it lias at last appeared in the newspapers.
| It is said that the Queen haft taken a prodigious
liking to a very good looking but '‘ignoble’
Scotchman named Brown, who was formcly a
. kind ofout-door body servant to Prince Albert,
and indeed bears a strong resemblance to the
Prince. She so doats on him that sho con
stantly keeps him near her, at all ncr palaces,
: and in all her journeys to and from them. She
consults her pet on all subjects, and takes his
advice so absolutely that the rest of the royal
household have become very jealous of him.
The latest story is that she is going to Knight
j him. Marry him she cannot, for the law of
the realm forbids her to marry one of her own
subjects. It is very disagreeable, nay, it is
worse than disagreeable, to mention these
things of one who, as wife and mother and
Queen, lias so high a place in the reverence of
the world,
I have refrained from speaking of these
stories while they were merely talked of in
private, but now they have become so noto
rious, anil arc so postively mentioned in
English papers, that I can no longer regard
them as empty tales.
