Bishop Hopkins "Amcrican Citizen"


The volume on the rights and duties of the
American Citizen, recently given to the
public by Bishop Hopkins of this place, and
especially the view presented in it Of the
character and relations Of Slavery, has at
tracted considerable attention in various
quarters. We have considered it wor-
thy of more than passing notice and have
gladly availed ourselves of the able pen of
our correspondent 81" lie has, In his
review, by no means exhausted the subject
there being many subordinate points in
the chapter which he refers to, which he
has omitted to notice. But with the destruc-
ton Of the main foundation of the author 8
argument, the whole edfce falls to the
ground, and the scattered fragments do not
need particular enumeration.
No one acquainted with Bishop Hopkins
can doubt the sincerity of his opinions, on
this uhject-strange as their enuncation
must sound to the greater portion
of his acquaintance in this State
SO much the more important is
it to have their unsoundness exposed. -
This is what our correspondent has done ;
and he has done it kindly as well ms thor
oughly Our readers will feel obliged to
him, as do we, for doing it.

Significant Silence.

tbs now SIX weeks, since the city of ST.
Louis took it's noble sisand in favor of Free
Principles, by the election of a mayor
pledged to emancipation. We have searched
with care tho columns of our Buchanan
contemporary iu this place since then, but
can find no Uienton of that event. We
found in orr search, fulsome praises of
Stephen D.. Douglas, as d" the embodiment
OF Democracy, prudence and energy, bear
ing on to victory the standard Of pure De-
mocracy." We found labored attempts to
,;ndlcate the equity of the bred Scott deci-
sion, by such statements as that " ou-
Fathers never intended equality, much less
American citizenship for the negro''-"they
created "A government for white men exclu-
sively, and ignored the whole negro race,
leaving him unmentioned save as subservent
to the white man" We found statements
that " slavery extension is as absolutely es-
sential to the peace and progress and civili-
zation Of the South, as atmospheric air to a
living man." and that all that is needed to
settle the slavery question is to " facilitate
the equal expansion of southern society -
which means the abandonment of the ter
rltories to slavery, OF such stuff as this,
copied or communicated, we found abun.
dance but no allusion of any kind to an
event OF peculiar and important bearing on
the great national issues of the day--an
election which has made more stir in this
country and excited more attention on both
sides the Atlantic, than any election in the
United States since the presidential,
The reelection Of Chsf Justice Wilton,
in Wisconsin, by a very great majority,
to)k place five or six weeks ago. 1t had
distinct party bearing for the pro-slavery
press Of that State had made a direct issue
on the election, because Judge Wilton had
pronounced the Fugitive Slave law uncon-
.titutioual We find no alusion near or re-
mote, to that event in the Sentinel. And
this is the Journal which undertakes to lee
ture us upon a false charge Of Withholding
important political intelligence
If anything was lacking to indicate fully
the position of the 50 called Democratic
press of the North upon the slavery ques
ton, it is fully supplied by the silent or
expressed dlsl4vor with which without ex-
ception so far as we are aware they
have regarded the emancipation movement
in Missouri. Once they prolessed to be the
champions Of universal freedom. 1t was
their mission to put down all arstocracy
and to uphold the rights of man. Once
their party passed, and they appauied, re-
solutions looking forward to the time when
freed IN should triumph over and eradicate
the evils Of slavery. Now their fear of Of
Tending their southern masters, who hold
that free society is a failure, is so great
tina. they hardly dare whisper the word .
