parent, Adam, and be sound asleep in the Garden
of Eden. The doctrine of General Jackson on this
subject and advanced when a similar rebellion was
threatining the government, is so clear anG forci
BILE that it may do us all good to reflect upon it.
In his message to Congress he says: u p.
"That State, or any other greatportion of the
people suffering under long and intolerable oppres
sons, and having tried all Constitutional remedies
without the hope of redress may havea natural right
when their happiness can be no otherwise secured,
and when they can do without great injury to 9TH
ers, to absolve themselves from their obligations to
the government and appeal to the last resort. The
existence of this right, however, mast depend up
on the causes which may justify its exercise. 1t
is the ultima ratio, which presupposes that the
proper appeals to all other means Of redress have
been made in good faith, and which can never be
rightfully rcsorted to unless it be unavoidable.
the right of the State but of the individual,
and OF all the individuals in the State. Il is the
right Of mankind generally to secure by all the
means in their power the blessings of liberty and
happiness but when for these purposes any body of
men have voluntarily associated themselves under
particular form Of government, no portion of
them can dissolve the association without acknowl.
edging the correlative right in the remainder to
decide whether that dissolution can be permitted
consistent with the general happiness. In this
view it is the right dependant upon the power to
enIorceit. Ouch f1Sht though II may be ADMIT
ted to exist, and cannot be wholly surrendered is
necessarily subjected to limitations in all free gov
ernments, and in compacts of all kinds freely and
voluntarily entered into, and in which the welfare
of the individual becomes identified with those of
the community OF which he isa member. In COM
pacts between individuals however deeply they
may effect their relations these principles are ac-
knowledged to create a sacred obligation, and in
compacts of civil governments involving the liber-
ty and happiness Of millions OF mankind, the obli-
CATION cannot be less"
For the utterance of these sentiments thirty
years ago to the people of South Carolina Jackson
W, was called usurper and black hearted traitor.
Truly the seeds of this rebellion have been long
time terminating!

The Campaign in Missouri.

81. Louis, Dec. 27.-The following is Il re-
sumo of the recent military operations in Mis-
souri,, obtained from \ reliable source. Within
the last two weeks the Federal army has cap
tured $500 rebels, including about 10 com
missioned officers, 1900 horses and mules
l,l0O stand OF arms, two tons OF powder, l0t
wagons, an immense amount of cUmmsSsSy
stores, camp equipage; the large foundry Al
Lexington, used by the rebels for Gas ing can
non, shot and shell, burned.
Most of the rebel craft on tho Missouri river
including he ferry boats, have been either de
stroyed or captured, and pretty clean sweai !
has been made of the whole country betwstt
the Missouri and Usage rivers. Gen. Price hi..
been out off from all supplies and recruits from
North Missouri, and is in full retreat for Ar
lAnsas with his whole army, having passec

results has not exceeded 100 in killed ant

lion in North Missouri, and simultaneously
burn all the railroad bridges, stations, anc
rolling stock, On the 20th of this month, il
accordance with the plan promulgated from
the rebel.camp, have been foiled to Il grea'
extent In their plans by the activity Of oul
forces, which are kept In constant motion, not
withdrawing the severity Of the weather. The
damage done TO the North Missouri and HanDi
bal and St. Joseph railroads have been much
exaggerated. r-l
Ten bridge burners have already been shot
and fifty others are In close confinement, to be
summarily dealt with under General Halleck's

Gen. Rosecranz spoke briefly and modestly

this contest. ---.. ..
Mr.. Ely was grateful for the compliment, and
happy TO be free again. HIS reference to his
imprisonment WAS brief-a confinement that
has somewhat worn upon him.
Gen. Coombs was in fine humor. He was
ssvere upon the traitors. While referring to
Aaron Burr, being understood to mean Breck
inridge, he thought 1t made no difference,
twas all the same, not worth correcting. He
