Mr. Noel (of Mo ,) argued that the
present organiz -d Pemocratic party did
not reu ler ur.ipalifit J support to the war,
but was continually throwiog obstacles in
tbe way of its prosecution, lie undertook
to say that it was delusion to think that
'k' war lu'(;ut DaTe prevented by
the adoptiou of tbe Crittenden compro
mise. It was true that some of the load
ers of the lt'.'bellion had voted for that com
promise ; but the history of subsequent
events ahows, that, if ten or more votes
had been necsary, they could have been
procured. lie would go further, and say
that there was nothing in the Crittenden
Compromise that would have prevented
the U 'bcllion. The en- mies of the Ad
ministration held out the idea that the
war was not f r the restoration of peace,
but f ir the abolition of Slavery. But
this was untrue, although such might be
the rrsnV. They assert that the Adminis-
trati.m tramples on the Constitution, and
' '
all the privilege ualer that instrument
are to be swept by the board, and that
the Union is to be contended for without
tbe Constitution, lie bad witnessed some
of these so-called violations of the Consti
tution. When the war broke out, the

As some
incorrect statements have gone forth id
regard to this opinion, we give the chief
, r . . , ,
poiuts. Tbe Constitution doc not difioc
the word "citixen," so the Attorney (Jen -
. , .-.:. h atnrv anil tlm law
from tbe days of Rome down, for its mean
ing. His conclusion is that all free per
sius, without distinction of race or color,
if native boro, arccitizeus. A distinction
' 's n"-'a between the inherent rights of
citizens, aud the political privileges of c r
: tain classes. All cina .ua have a r;glit to
protection, but only certain clas.es en
j y the privileges uf voting and holding
tllice. iiitberio, not only the public, but
jurists, have ofteu confounded the two.
A child or a imin is a citiz.n. though
. not always privileged to vote or hold of
fice. The paper concludes as follows :
"And now, upon the whole matter, I give
it as my opinion that the free man of
color meutiooed in your letter, if boro in
the United States, and if otherwise i
qualified, is competent, according to tbe 1
ict" of CoaS"; " b master of a vessel
