MORNING LEADER
mORN,NG. JUNE /, 1854.


A Convention TINT needs no Divine Aid.
Nothing shocked sensitive and religious
minds in the Convention Of the Missouri
Radicals yesterday SO much as their
acIiOn ia regard to an amendment
to the resolution that the REBEL.
ion must be put down. A gentleman sug-
gested the words, "With Gods assistance"
This was voted down with bOisterous de-
mOnstrstiOns. The reason for it was the
fact that most Of the Missouri delegation,
who constituted one half the Convention,
are Infdels and Atheists, who, Of course,
could not recognize the hand Of God in
the work Of suppressing the rebellion. The
Incident was sad comment upon the char
scter Of the Convention, and must strike
all religious minds as profsne to degree
never witnessed in public Convention be-
fore. Nothing is truer than that Gods
Providence is manifested in this war.

Paris Correspondence Of the L liverpool Courier
An incident, which in these parts is held
to be Of considerable gravity, has ot.been
fully described in the London newspapers,
and has consequently not excited the At

Senate some time back, the crack Drained
Marquis de Boissy, in one Of those eccen-
trio speeches for which he is 50 famous,
hesped, as usual, much abuse en- England,
and said same very offensive things Of the
Prince Of Wsles per- onslly, for having
visited Gsribsldi. In the next sitting OF
the Senate, he complained that all he had
said about the Prince had not been TerOFt-
Cd in the Moniteur, though that journal is
supposed to give verbatim accounts Of all
speeches. The President Of the Senate re
marked that some Of the language used by
de Boissy was 80 gross that he had conse.
quently taken on himself to order the re-
porters Of the Moaiteur not to reproduce
it. De Boissy complained sngrily Of this,
