The permanent Constitution.

We lay before the readers Of the PATRIOT,
tbis morning, an excellent article from Judge
WarTE, of SUmner, relative to the Permanent
Constitution of the Confederate States. We
hope its length will not deter any one from
reading 1t carefully. He points out. in a
clear aud forcible manner. the differences be-
tween it and the Constitution of the United
States, and shows the Improvements made
upon the latter. The Permanent Constitu-
ton Is simply the Constitution framed by the
sagee Of the revolutionary era, with such
amendments as experience has shown 10 be
necessary; and We trust that there will not
be vote recorded in the State against It.

IA request to see them. The Dutch
Captain of course "knowing that dis

captured Missourians, why he allow
