Very naturally nnder-the influence of‘the ad

in advance of Alassacliqsetts—and her vote
will be jeast in the affirmative. Alississipbi

To us this isimuch. more gratifying than if
the amendment; had been carried by a strictly
Northern vote; for it shows that the'South
cheerfully' aCquiescts in what is inevitable.
