Rebellion Threatened.

A writer in the Murfreesboro Monitor
(rebeD is in favor of holding convention
to overthrow thepresent State Government.
He says
If those in authority will not permit the
people to vote-not permit them to choose
their rulers nor law makers-but persist in
keeping them from the ballot-box, so that
they cannot change their rulers in the
manner prescribed in the constitution, why
then the people may Gf those in authority
will not get out of their house, pull it down
over their heads--'change alter, reform or
abolish their government (house) at plea

made by them and for their own benefit
they have the right to govern it and
control it-possess and hold It.

Oar Purchase from Russia.

The treaty which was communicated to the Sen.
ate on Saturday by the President and which pro.
vides for the purchase of the Russian American
possessions for S7,00o0oO in gold Is one which. i
prospectively Of great advantage to the United
States. We feel none Of that enthusiasm which Is
Initiating some of our contemporaries because of the
immense size OF the territory thus secured The
size has in the present really very little to do
with the value, for while the props.ty is Eve times
as large as the State of New York Ats only availa-
bic portion could be easily placed with the State Of
Connecticut- The reason why we fell confident that
the Senate viii rstfy the treaty is that we cut of
an immense portion of British America from the
Pacific Ocean, and make the acquisition of that por-
ton still held by Great Britain certain at some fu
ture day. The difficulty which occurred in 1852 in
regard to the possession Of Oregon is still fresh in
the popular mind, and We think that we are really
gaining what was lost TO Us by treaty for with
America to the north and Anerica TO the south,
what IS TO hinder Us gaining that territory when
want to- The abandonment Of the cry Of dfty-
four forty fight will thus reflect no diseredit on
the most enthusiastic advocates Of American dig
nifty and by shutting out from the all the Brit
ish possessions do them an injury and thus ben
EFT ourselves. We think that Sir Frederick Bruce
had good cause to telegraph Lord Derby for instruc-
tons, the decision materially affects The value Of
that part Of our continent which belongs 70 Grea
