s arbitrary and irrevocable prohibition of free colored immigration was in palpable violation of that clause of the Federal Constitution which guarantees to the citizens of each State the rights of citizens in every State. Her admission was at first voted down in the House by 93 Nays to 79 Yeas; but, finally, a fresh Compromise, concocted by a select Joint Committee, whereof Mr. Clay Colonel William H. Russell, of Missouri, a distant relative and life-long friend of Mr. Clay, in a letter (1862) to Hon. James S. Rollins, M. C., from his State, says that Mr. Scott, the Delegate from Missouri at the time of her admission, told him that Mr. Clay, at the close of the struggle, said to him: Now, go home, and prepare your State for gradual Emancipation. was chairman, was adopted. By this Compromise, Missouri was required to pledge herself that no act should be passed by her Legislature, by which any of the citizens of either of the States should be excluded from the enjoyment of the pr

cy. On the evening before and the morning of the day of election, nearly a thousand Missourians arrived at Lawrence, in wagons and on horseback, well armed with rifles, pistols, and bowie-knives, and two pieces of cannon loaded with musket balls. They had tents, music, and flags, and encamped in a ravine near the town. They held a meeting the night before the election at the tent of Claiborne F. Jackson. Democratic Governor of Missouri, elected in 1860; died a Rebel refugee in Arkansas, 1862. Finding that they had more men than were needed to carry the Lawrence district, they dispatched companies of one to two hundred each to two other districts. Meeting one of the judges of election before the poll opened, they questioned him as to his intended course, and, learning that he should insist on the oath of residence, they first attempted to bribe and then threatened to hang him. In consequence of this threat, he failed to appear at the poll, and a Missourian was appointed in his st

s: Gov. Burton called for an organization of the Militia of Delaware, not in obedience to the requisition of the President, nor in support of the integrity and authority of the Union, but to be wielded by himself, as circumstances should eventually dictate. And, in consistency with this, neither the Governor nor tile great body of his political adherents rendered any aid or encouragement whatever to the Government down to the close of his official life, which happily terminated with the year 1862. Gov. Hicks, of Maryland, made at first no direct, but several indirect, responses to the President's call. He issued, on the 18th, a Proclamation, assuring the people of Maryland of his desire to preserve the honor and integrity of the State, and to maintain within her limits, that peace so earnestly desired by all good citizens. lie exhorted them to abstain from all heated controversy upon the subject, and pledged them that all powers vested in the Governor will be strenuously exerted

mation of the new State. All this must be as plain to Letcher as to Lincoln. Those who hold that Letcher and his fellow-conspirators had a legal right to precipitate their State into treason, so as to bind her loyal, Union-loving citizens to follow and sustain them therein, will echo his lamentations; but those who stand by their country and her Government take a different view of the matter. A Union soldier who, having been taken prisoner by the Rebels and paroled, was, in the Summer of 1862, in camp on Governor's Island, New-York, was asked by a regular army officer--What is your regiment? He answered: The 6th Virginia. Virginia? rejoined the Westpointer; then you ought to be fighting on the other side. Of course, this patriot will naturally be found among those who consider the division of Virginia a usurpation and an outrage. All direct communication between Western Virginia and Washington was, and remained, interrupted for some weeks after the primary Night of Apri
