The Constitutional Convention of
the State of Missouri quite summarily
disposed of q proposition which came
before it in the shape of a resolution
declaring that neither State nor the
Federal Government has the constitu-
tional right to dissolve the Union. II
was voted down by q vote Of As to o.
This State passed under Democratic
rule by very large majority during
the inception of the Liberal fiasco.--
The Constitutional Convention refer
red to has in it only s. mere sprinkling
OF Republicans. The voting down of
this simple. plain proposition, so vital
to the endorsement OF the unity of
these States. only makes manifest the
fact, that the Democratic party OF that
State do not at heart accept the indis.
soluble character of the republic, and
that they are unwilling to put them
selves upon the record as declaring
that State cannot rightfully secede.
We venture to say without fear of
successful contradiction that there is
not to-day Legislature in any ono of
the old slave States where the Demo
cratic party bear sway that would
pass such resolution as the above
There arc Democratic Legislatures in
these States which would perhaps
gloss over and cunningly avoid the
real issue with some halfway resolu-
ton bearing upon the point, such as q
present acceptance Of the result of the
war upon this issue, but none of them
but what would leave way of re-
treat as we must believe for future use
in regard to its constitutionality.
Were it true that majority of the
Democratic members of the Missouri
Constitutional Convention were them
selves favorable to the adoption of the
resolution referred to, we do not
believe they would dare to pass favor
ably upon it, because it would not be
sustained by their constituents, 20
completely does the right of secession
yet maintain sway over that people.

"The Agricultural Department has

estimated that returns from Other

A LIFE WE'LL INSURED. - Ex-
President Johnson's death will be
regretted by none more deeply
than by the insurance companies.
He was a believer in life insurance,
and illustrated his faith by his acts
to an extent that is rare indeed,
even nowadays. The aggregate
of the policies on life is no less
than $350,0O0. His happy heirs
can well afford to say no more
about that little pile Of $4,000
which the ex-President lost by the
bankruptcy Of Jay Cookies bank.
