Latest Opinion of the Lndi Tlnes.
We nro anoi-polon p pe, and make
no secret of our conclhsions, but there
is nothing in those conclusions to which
any citizen of the Unioi need object.
We haye been aurprised at the abrupt
extinction of the war, but not more so
than the Amoricans themselves. What
ever may have been our speculations or
sympathies, we rejoice that the work
of carnage is at an end. We cordially
reciprocate the expressions of amity,
Which reach us from America, and shall
not be disbelieved in our professions of
desire for permanent peace. For the
rot, we can only wait. We can see
nothing of the future, nor will we pre.
tend to believe that the revolution is
over. On the colitrary, we see that it
1s but half finished, and that America
will certainly never again bethe A meri
ca of the past. Bnt it may well he
something better. The'blot of slavery,
at any rate, is effaced from its soil and
one snhject of contention is removed.
The position, too, of each State of the
Union in relation to. thi whole is now
defined and established, if not improv.

The New oilstitution of-Mssourt.
The new constitrdion of the State of
Missoiri, which, it is believed, has just
been accepted by a. majority of the legal
and loyal-voters, was opposed by many,
radicals as -well as by the pro-slavery
men, conservitives and secession syin
pathiaers. The followig synopsis of its
leading features shows tie secret of the
fierceness of the hostility of those par
ties:

ever.

.before the law.,
It prohibits: legislation interfering

duty.
It. previde4 for an effidient registration
of votes, thereby securing the exclusion
of illegal votes.
It removes the rule requiting treason
to be proved by at least two witnesses,
and leaves it to be proOed as any other
