but feel myself called upon, by the brothery feel

warn my fellow citizens against all rash attempts
to capture the frigates or storm the forts of the
United States. assure them that no number Of
vessels they could man and arm in the harbor of

chance Of success, against single frigate or war

Of our militia, excellent and brave az they unqucs-

may have been their theatre.
As picture OF palmy prosperity to result from
our secession has been presented 10 our fellow

Anniversary Of the Prison ASS collation..

The Sixth Anniversary Of the Prison Associa'

evening. The audience in attendance was very
small. not reaching over the number of 200. At
the hour of organizing, in the absence Of the Pre-
sident and Vice President, DR.. JOHN D. Russ was
called to preside.
After PRAYER, the Annual Report of the Male
Branch was read 1t was lengthy document,
and great portion of it devoted to discussion
of the questions in dispute between the Assocla'
ton and the Inspectors of State Prisons AS near
as we could understand the matter, the ASsocla-
ton claims the right to visit the Prisons by its
Committees, at all times, and to examine con-
victs confined therein apart from the presence OF
the officers of the Prison. This right the Inspec-
tors denv and refuse to allow such visits. re-

now stands, it bids fair to be nice light Tor

? II should be remembered that this important
election will soon be upon us, and every yoteI
should be prepared TO, cast a judicious VOTE
This, we are glad to see; is to be no contest fol
the success of p~artizan schemes, but is to be de-
cide6 entirely upon the merits and qualifications
Of the aspirants. There are ten candidates ior
the Supreme Bench-many Of them possessing
eminent qualifications for the ONCE. Some are
Wings and ZONE are Democrats. But as 10 their
political persussions, we hear no enquiry. For
the election of our Circuit Judge, there will be
no contest. Judge Wells, the present incum.
bent, has given general satisfaction during the
time he has Sheen acting in that capacity, and will
be elected without opposition He,is a gentle
man Of sterling integrity. 2 sound lawyer, and
makes q most prompt and Efficient officer.
In regard TO the SupremsC Court, wiihou, any
desire to disparags the claim. Of others, we must
say, the legal requirements and sound judicial
mind Of Judge Napton, in addition 10 his homes
ty, industry and enlarged experience, peculiarly
6t him for the important trust, which for many
years he has filed with signal ability and honor.
Judge William Scott is.also q gentleman Of fine
sitainments, and makes an able and enlightened
Judge. He was very improperly removed two
years ago.. by the one man power, and he de-
serves TO be reinstated by the people, for whom
he had acted as IN honest and impartial officer.
The published opinion, Of NaptOn and ScOttscn-
title them to an elevated rank among the jurist
Of Che land. And to them perhaps, more Than
to any ohers, are we indebted for the character
and standing Of the judicial DEGREES of the State
Of Missonh. -
Hamilton R. Gamble, of St. Louis, is a law.
yer Of distinction, whose reputation and acquire
ments entitle him TO much consideration in the
coming election. These three men associated on
the Supreme Bench, Missouri might we'll be
proud Of her Judiciary.
Judge P. H. Mcbride, who Is well known 70
most Of our citizens, is also q candidate, and en-.
joys the reputation of having made an able and
efficient Judge: Many of hi. published opan-
ions, whilst acting as Judge Of the Supreme,
Court, exhibit deep research and q familiar ac-
quai6tance with the law.
There are others who are favorahly brown as
practitioners, snd who, if elected, would proba.I
