NEGROES AND CITIZENS.

Weprint this morning the opinion Of Al
torney General Bates on Citizenship, ~
which allusion was made, some days since.
in special telegram from Washington -
The opinion is given as reply to ques-
ton from the Secretary of the Treasury :
in reference to a vessel detained by u revci
rue cutter because she was commanded by a
coored man---as to whether colored men are
citizens. This question, the Attorney Gen
eral says, would have been more clearly stu,
ted had it been asked: Can colored men be
citizens Of the United States Giving II,
therefore, this broader basis, he proceeds to
consider this proposition as man legsl-
ly incapatated to be citizen Of the United
States by the sole fact that he is colorcd
and nota white man s'' II is, as he re-
marks at the outset a aquestion Of great I'M
portance," and it receives consequently al
his hands most elaborate and exhaustist
treatment. He brings to bear upon it tho
logical power and great legal knowledge for
which the Attorney General has been for so
many years distinguished at the bar and on
the Bench. ss@ J p .a.at''a
Who is citizen Mr.. Bates answers
with clcarness and accuracy and wealtli
of illustration tha. should make his essay 4
text book on this point. lie clears away all
doubts, sets aside all cavils, and brings the
reader inevitably to the incontrovertible
conclusion, that every person born in coun-,
try is, at the moment of birth, prima .taeie.
citizen Waving aside then with a judicial
impartiality all prejudice in regard to race or
color; examining in the light Of calm reasoli
and sound law, the decisions of State Courts;
setting aside the decision Of the Supreme
Court in the Dread Scott case, rs not touct-
ing the question here at issue, but simply
deciding the jurisdiction Of the lower Court,
the Attorney General thus states his conclu-
sion of the whole matter: ' ' .as-" y
give il as my opinion that the free man
of color, mentioned in your letter, II born in
the United States, is a citizen of the United
States, and, ifnot otherwise qualified, is COM
petent according to the acts Of Congress, to
be master of vessel in engaged in coastinE
trade 81 s.t s t5.H .| ..o,''.
Considered in all its bearings, this is one
of the most important, as well as one OF the
most able documents that has ever been
issued from the Office of the Attorney Qeffs
eral. So comprehensive, so clear and SO ra-
.ional is the doctrine it lays down, that It
must, now that it is set forth, be considered
as the established principle Of the Govern.
ment, and be ever afterwards accepted Of
the law Of the country

proceeds and ushcrs in that other great act
which is to come from the President on

soft brown hair is abundant, ard done up in
rich braids, displaying finely arched fore.
head, on which. phrenologically speaking. the
attributes of mirthfulness, imitation, casuali-
ty and comparison are prominent. She has
full, round, dimpled face, and her fine black
eyes fairly sparkle when she becomes inter-
ested in conversation. She moves about the
drawing room with the grace and dignity Of
queen, and yet she Is entirely devoid Of az
fcction. While she has sufficient self.reliance
to enable her to converse with ease and dig
nifty, she is modest and y-like in her de-
pertinent. Her voice is soft and sweet, and
she sings excellently well. This charming
little woman was born in Middleboro', Ply
mouth county Mass. Her parents are of ordi
nary size and stature. One of her brothers
is in the army, another in Utah, and two Of
her sisters are married. In few days she
will sail for England, where she will be in
troduced to her Majesty, Queen Victoria, and
other members of the royal household, after
which she will pay her respects to other
crowned heads in Europe. Mrs. Warren is
receiving IN her private parlor visits from
some of the more prominent families in this
city. She dresses with the most exquisite

MISSOURI AS A FREE STATE.
From the N. Y. Times.

The prompt organization Of the Missouri
Legislature by the election of unconditional
to all offices, settles the
question absolutely as to the early abolition
Of slavery in the State The mode will be
rapid, not slow; for it is to be observed that
there is no party, and no public men or
in Missouri, that now oppose
Governor Gamble, who may
be a fair representative of the extreme con.
servative element declares in his message
that he has long been convinced that the
State of Missouri would be benefited by the
substitution Of free for slave labor. But he
suggests q gradual emancipation, on the
plan Of declaring free all children of slave
parents born after year far in the future.
This slow death of slavery does not suit
the earnest Emancpationists Of the State -
and in the organization of the Legislature the
Nj, derates, who incline to Governor CANDLES
views, were beaten by majorltes so decided
as to leave no room for doubt how the legis.
lation will SO. Governor Gamble may veto
a radical emancipation measure, but veto
under the Missouri State Constitution is of
little consequence. A bare majority in the
two assemblies is sufficient to override it.
Not until Missouri is free State will she
enter upon her true career Of greatness. 1t
owes now public debt of $4,000, 900,
which is now selling at fifty cents on the
dollar and dear at that. Emancipation will
bring the bonds Of the State to par at an
early day, and make $27, 900, 900 for the
States creditors, now good as lost. If Mis-
souri, shall at the same time get $20,oOO,-
600 from the National Government for her
slaves, emancipation, will be as profitable to
her as her creditors. What Wall street
thinks of emancipation may be inferred from
the fact that Missouri State stocks advanced
from ten to fourteen per cent Yesterday.

THE PROMISE OF THE MORNING.

The Washington Chronicle welcomed the
opening Of the New Year with its glad It'd
ings of freedom, with the following beautiful
and noble sentiments go RI -. &.
"We stand to-day in the broadening twi-
light of great events. There is q solemn
hush of expectation in the air, and the hearts
of true men are stirred with u vague fore
warning o! good to come. In the morning
skies the forerunning shadows that herald
the day are flushed with tinge of light. be-
fore unseen. We hope that in its roseate
folds turks the welcome promise Of purer
day, and not the angry redncss of tumult
and slaughter. Asin the morning twilight
we know that the day is surely coming, but
cannot foretell whether its hours shall be
serene or stormy, so as we approach the sol
eran threshold Of a new political dispensa-
ton, we cannot tell whether the great Dis
poser of national dcstinics will let us pluck
peace from amid the Towering blooms of &C.
complished justice, or whether we are to suf-
fer, under further publication, the penalty of
violated law and tardy retribution. Con-
scious at last of right, we are sure of ultimate
victory, but OF what lies before us in the i'm.
mediate future, God is only cognzant
a most encouraging symptom is, the des-
peration and madness which all the foul crea-
lures which hate the day exhibit, as the
light grows less uncertain. Like the ghosts
which must vanish with the sunrise, they
shudder at the first grey beams that mottle
the east Before the coming revelations the
false lights which have been misleading the
people, begin to pale their Intellectual fires.
The evil spirits rage sorely, for the time is
short.
If the blade of enfranchised justice when
but half unsheathed causes such consterna.
ton among the hosts of rebellion, how can
they stand the fierce light of its naked bril-,
liancy unveiled in the face of day"

How often, Lord with mystic hand,
Thou dost the grace of earth renew
Re-clothe and re-adoin the land.
Re-paint the sky with matches hue.
In every summers glad return,
New pomp of clouds the heavens unroll,
New splendors in the planets burn,
New organ-tones entrance the soul.
Thus, taught by thy example, Lord.
Our hands have graced these walls again;
These courts our hearts, with one accord,
Present anew with joyous strain.
Though faint reflection of thy skill,
As shown In summers green and bloom,
May these adornings prove our will
TO rise toward thee from sin and gloom.
And As the years shall fly apace,
And we shall meet thee in this fame,
may our souls, renewed in grace,
From week to week thy blessing gain.

resorted to without any benefit. Her physicians
pronounced her recovery very doubtful, IL not i'm
possible. At this time. hearing of your SYRUP, and
II being highly recommended, she concluded, as
last resort to give il trial, which she did with the
most beneicias results. Shortly after she COM
menced taking it. her health began TO improve. and
the of q few bottles completely cured her. And
although she has been twice confined since. she has
been perfectly free from the trouble above named.
