TExA, STATE CoNyESTIoN.-The President
has received Il dispatch from Governor Ham
ilton, dated at Austin, March i, saying that
the Convention of that State has been III ScS-
sion one month, but nothing has been ma
! tured that the struggle is on the ordinance
of secession, the qIic> lion being, shall the Ordl-
nance be declared nun and void from the be-
ginning, or shall it be repealed. The IniOn
men insist on the former and the rebels and
others demand the latter. Governor Hamll-
ton says something like the action of the Ala
bama Convention will be adopted; and there
will be no trouble in rejecting the war debt
incurred III carrying on the rebellion. The
freedmen Will be treated more satisfactorily
than has been done by most of the Southern
States.
THE PRESIDENTS POLIrY IN MISSOURI
telegram from the Missouri Union Central
Conservative Committee gives an encouraging
account from that State. From all the dis
tricts come evidences of the unqualified sup
port of the President and the policy of his
Administration. Out Of forty-One ncWSpa-
pers mentioned by the Committee, twenty
eight give their hearty support to Mr.. john
son.
Both of the above paragraphs are from the
New ork TjDseS and may be regarded as off
cial. The Texas Convention, by declaring that
their secession ordinance was null and void db
iuitio, will best sustain the President, whose
policy assumes that such was the case. Thad.
Stevens and his followers will be pleased to
learn that there Is party in Texas claiming
that his view is the correct one; that Texas
was out of the Union, and that the ordinance
must be repealed. The practical result being
the same in either case, we think the Conyen-
ton should go with the President.

B9 On our return from Harrisburg, the
other day, while glancing over the exchang-
es which had accumulated during our alb
senee, our hands fell upon the Brookville
Republican,, we glanced down over its col
umns, and said, ,involuntarily, "a new paper.
Does it desire an exchange?" Yet there
appeared to he something about it that was
familiar. twill be understood that we know
our exchanges from their appearance. Turn
ing over to the editorial column we learned
that an old friend of ours had only put on a
new suit, and we must confess that few
look better in their Sunday clothes. IF its
editor can always offer as bright an apology
for not attending the editorial convention
he had better never attend, however much
we might desire to meet him.
