FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBMt 10, 1805.
Governor's Mcssatro. .
This document has bcon received, but
too lato for publication in this number.
We shall endeavor to present it next
week.
Tho legislature.
" Tna Log'ulaturo met on tho 1st inst
No business of importance has, so far,
boon 'transacted. Tho Governor's Mcs-
, flago was sont in on tho 8d inst. There
is every prospoet of a harmonious ses
sion.
Sonator Hondorson.
Hon. Joun B. IIhkdbbsom addressd
the citizens Of St. Joseph on tho even
ing of tho 2d inat. Strango to say, the
two St. Joseph papers agroo in pro
nouncing it an ablo and well-timed of'
fort. From tho Horald's report wo goth
or that Mr. Henderson, in reviewing
tho new Constitution, said ho had onco
"fully intonded to urgo amendments, but
inco tho robols and thoir friends were
banding together to offect its immedi
ate and total overthrow, and wero ovon
; threatening vengeanco on every Radical
man who refused to join with thorn in
thoir crusade, ho had about como to the
conclusion that the wholo Constitution
might as well stand, and bo enforced for a
year or two, until thoBo who como tinder
its ban bring to tho altar fruits meet for
repentance. Until ho was satisfied that
thoy wore ready to .do this, ho should
urgo no amendments, certainly none
granting tho clectivo franchiso to tho
disloyal.
, Ho , considcrod tho test oath, as far
as ministers of the gospel wore concern
ed, unwise, but thought that
'no truly loyal preacher need havo any
scruples about taking it.' Upon negro
suffrago ' ho wus very plain, taking the
ground 'that whilo ho did not oxactlyfa-
tor indiscriminate or universal suffrago,
he would grant all tho rights and priv
ileges of citizenship to. those who by
education and virtue preved thomBolves
'worthy of them, and in any event ho
preferred tho voto of tho negro to that
of tho robel. Ho had grown abovo and
1 outlived whatover projudico against cpj-cver-a
man was not disqualiGod from
"exercising tho right of suffrago. by rea
son of crime or ignorance, ho would
grant tho privilege regardless of color.
' Mr. Hbndkrbom warmly endorsod
tho policy of tho Administration;
. His rdmarks wero well rocoived by
, tho loyal pooplo, Tho Herald thinks
itras tho imost argumentative, logioal
and convincing speech ever dolivcred on
any'fcubjoct in this city, and fully' vin
dicated the claim of his friends that ho
is tho statesman of Missouri, and ablo
to copo with the most eminent of the
land."

Tna inaugural of Gov. Humphries
or Mississippi, gives us a gliinpso of
tho sentiments of roconstructod south
erners. Slavery has not been ontiroly
uprooted from their minds. It seems
to havo become fbcod in their minds
an "essential of their esistenco. We'are

Endorsing Prosldont Jison.
The great "frco blow," ;ottcn up
ostensibly to endorse President Johnson
in his reconstruction policy, has adjourn
od. it was, at hrst, a matter or somo
Burpriso to loyal men, that a portion of
our pcoplo Bhould so suddenly grow en
thusiastic over tho administration of tho
government. This was tho first timo,
in four years, that a portion of these
pcoplo had thought of rallying, even
whon there was a call ; but when oth
ers 8 aw nothing to warrant an unusual
demonstration, nothing savo a now
mcasuro, dictated by a loyal adminis
tration, thoy aro suddenly clambering
up towards tho President. Thoy rally
when nobody calls. Tho scales eeom
to havo fallen from thoir visual organs
very 8uddenlyfr At first tho movomcnt
was a matter of surprise, but wo then
saw through a glass darkly ; now we
sco their works with tho nakod oyo
Wo can now rationally account for this
unnatural phenomena. Wo find them
in St. Louis deliberating upon an en-
tiroly different matter than tho policy
of tho administration. It was a very
noticeable fact that in selecting and
forwarding delegates, tho counties which
on tho Cth of Juno, votod largely "no,"
sent tho biggest delegations, and so,
upon their arrival in St, Louis, thore
was congregated a liberal representa
tion of tho anti-now Constitution party.
The "otjoct of tho mostin' " became
evident. War was declared against the
new Constitution. Tho better to facil
itate business, and to insure concert of
action, a now party was organized, and
a platform of principles laid down. To
sco how tho President was endorsod, it
is only necessary to road tho proceed
ings of tho body, and to study tho plat
form. It is a very good thing to en
dorso tho President. Thoro was a timo
whon some of theso people were a little
delinquent in this respect.

It might croate tho impression abroad
that there wero men and women of ed

Tho "local" of tho Weston Times
lately treated himself to tho luxury of a

Hannibal & St. Joseph R. R. He speaks
of it under tho head "Tho Horrible and

"Wo left St. Jo. on time, and by tho
way, that is tho only period when they
aro on timo, (when leaving tho first
station,) and got, within twelve miles of,
me norm misrouri ivuuroau- ijuuctiuu,
we camo across a train off the track,
and actually had to lav there until
new track, was laid around the 'ditched
train, which occupied six hours, when
we proceeded at a snail's paco and
reached tho junction about 8 hours be
hind timo. Of course the North Mis
souri morning train bad loft, and we
wero compelled to stand around tho do
pot and wait for the 4 o'clock, P. M.,
train."
Upon tho return ho camo by tho same
road. Any ono who has traveled over
tho road, is vividly reminded of his own
expcricDco, by reading this.
"After finally gotting aboard with
many misgivings as to whether we should
ever reach our destination alive, we
started, and had not gono 20. miles, in
about four hours, when itho train was
brought to a stand,, and wo werb inform

Biro to lcavo your family suddenly

Platform Adsptod by tho St. LouiB
Mass Convention.
Wo the people of Missouri in Con
vention assembled, to plodgo ourselves
to the support ot President Johnson in
his arduous .task of reorganising the
Southern States, and restoring the
Union, and also to aid in restoring the
principle of civil and religious liberty
and equality in tho Stato, which havo
been stricken down by the so called now
lionsuiuuon, resoive .
1 (. That we aro grateful to Almighty
God, that peace is restored to our coun
try, and that the result of the war has
been to leave-the Union of theso States
unbroken ; that the bravo mon who, un
dor tho leadership of our great Goncrals
J J .t i-l !
ana umirais wero insirumeniai in
achioving that result have an undying
placo in our affections and eetoom.
2. That the States in our system of
n l - . 1 i -
urovcrnmoni navo equal nguis,
and this equality is tho cornor stono of
tho Union : that no Stato can eithor
socodo or be expelled from tho Uniom
or bo degraded below tho others or be
doprived of any Federal right, power or
privilego, which is. exercised by any oth
er ; that among tho equal rights of the
States none is clearer or more vital,
than that of each ono to designate who
shall voto within its limits ; and that we
applaud President Johnson for having
recognized and actbd upon this impor
tant principal in instituting uib reorgan
ization measures.)
8. That as an obvions corollary from
these elementry truths, Senators and
Representatives elected in Congress who
I!.. J il. C 3 1
aro auiy aocreaiiea anuer tne.oroaa sea;
of their respective States; have an indis
putable right to seats in that body, and
to speak and vote therein, on taking
the constitutional oath ; that a rufusa
to admit thorn would bo a revolutionary
and dangerous proceeding and as much
a violation of tho bond of tho Union as
tho secession ordinances of tho States
lately in rebellion'. .
4. That peaco being now restored
wo regard with extromo dislike tho ox
ercises of judicial powcrd by military
commanders, or military commissioners
"and wb moBt respectfully entreat, tho
Presidont to curb tho arbitrary power o
tho'mHtary subordinates In" this respect
and to compel all exocutivo officers of
tho Government to rocognize the supre
macy of the iudicial tribunals, and the
privileges of .the'writ of habeas c

retrospective test oaths, in taxing chur

6. That the Registry Xaw nrovided
for in the so called now Constitution of
this State is subversive of the' liberties
or tno people, ana' we appeal to our
present General Assbmbly by every
principle of justice not to attempt to
torce bo great an outrage on this Utate.
7. That wo accent as final and irre-

If any one thinks the .new Constitu
tion has killed. the State of Missouri,
let him travel ovor tho country a little;,
and ho will soon be undecoived.
Tho other day we took a trip west on
tho'Hanibal St. Joseph Railroad,
and wo found tho cars crowded with peq-
Ele, large numbers of them looking for
omcs in Missouri. At every stopping
place almost, peopio 'were gotting off to
look through the country for land. And
not only this, but you seo on ovcry sido
large moving wagons, containing fam
ilios..and household furnituro, moving to
new homes, lately purchased in our
Stato. They regard .Missouri now tp
the land of promise.. One gontleman
said to us ; "The adoption, of the new
Constitution determined me to move to
Missouri, and thousands of others aro
coaling from my Stato." They regard
tho Constitution aa iigning the ,doath
waront of slavery, aha disloyalty, here.
Let those who would destroy the Consti
tution tako noto of these things and
govern themselves accordingly. Ma

Tho Blairs and tho Blades. '
The Blair family is, perhaps, tho
most odious ono in this Nation. Thoy
nro hated as much as tho RhotUT of South
Carolina. Montgomery is muking Dem
ocratic speeches in Now York. Ho
says, among other things, that the two
races cannot livo togothcr in this coun
try that tho emancipated slayos must bo
sent .'off nnd cqlohizod.s . Would it not
bo better to col'onizo the Blairs ? They
aro the most mischief-making men of
history and ono good negrb.is worth tho
wholo family. Would it not be profita
ble business for the'Government to send
off its working men and retain its .na
bobs ? Could the Blairs colonizo tho
negroes, they would then advocate the
banishmont of the Irish and Germans.
Tho truth is thoy don't beliovo thoro I is
anybody in the country worthy of itu
offices and benefits except members of
the Blair family. Keep the blacks and
colonizo the Blairs. Howard (Ind.)
