it is provided that "Missouri shall ever re-
main q member of the American Union"
The loyal men of the State do not mean to
leave any shallow pretexts for future seces-

Iosophers Of the South Carolina school, upon
their absurd dogma.
p Ono ALL RIGHr.-Some of the Demo
cratic papers are taking comfort from the fact
that the Republican State Convention of Ohio
did not in terms declare in favor of negro
suffrage. But if the principle was not put in
the platform it is in the candidate. General
Jacob d. Coz was educated at Oberlin Col
lege, where blacks and whites study together.
He was a member of the original Liberty par
ty, and an early leader in the anti-slavery
movement at the West. He is at this moment
an ardent lover of negro suffrage, North and
South. And be was nominated by acclama-
ton.
" 1t is said that Englishmeu like a fellow
who can chit hard" If this is so, they are
not likely to lose their love for the South For
in paluing Of upon them great many millions
Of Confederate bonds, the Southerners have
given them what "the fancy" call "stunner"
pA dozen lawyers have been reported as
retained to defend JEFF. Davis If he had had
few honest counsellors in 1861, he would not
have required so many lawyers now. They
might have saved him from treason; but it is
very doubtful whether these can save him from
the gallows.
p The London Court Journal writes: ." 1t
is remarkable, considering the American habit
of publishing everything, that Her Majesty's
letter to Mrs. Lincoln has not yet appeared,
and We do not hear that any answer has been
returned, although Mrs. Lincoln has replied to
the Empress Of the French
u Emma, Queen of the Sandwich Islands,
is now on travelling tour, and it is probable
that she may visit this country. Emma is only
twenty five, intelligent, lady like, and beauti
full, according to the Sandwich Islands stand
ard. Withal, she is rich, owning considerable
real estate, and having an annuity of six thou
sand dollars, a handsome sum Hawaii. Add
that she is widow, and the case becomes in
teresting.
70 A man named VIM. H. H. Knox recent
ly called at the Office of the Collector of In
ternal Revenue, at Concord, stated that he had
no fixed place of residence, and had not been
assessed on his income, and voluntarily paid
over $36 72 income tax. There are very many

T John Covode has reached Washington,
and laid before the President partial report
Of his observations in Louisiana. He gives it
as his opinion that true peace and Union will
not prevail there till the negroes are allowed
to vote. 1t is understood that he also advises
thst Gen. Banks be allowed to come home.
u The editor of the Black Republican,
published in New Orleans, and himself color
ed man, is of opinion that the destiny of the
negro on this continent is that Of the Indian,
and the race will ultimately become extinct,
unless they are permitted to live separately
frc m the whites. He advises emigration and
colonization.
G The armies of the United States, during
the last year of the war, were numerically
much larger than the popular estimate of them.
At the recent festivities of Yale College, in

or three thousand of round million of men,
