Slavery Emancipation in Missouri.

various newspapers. Emancipation is the
new feature Of negro agitation, and was
brought about as follows, 81
The so.caled National Democratic party
in the Legislature, held caucus and nomi-
mated ticket for Bank Officers-printed
the names of their nominees, and laid the
printed lists on The desks Of members. A
mong those nominated for the st. Louis Di-
rectory, was Mr.. PALM, who during the
late Presidential canvass wrote letter to
the German population Of New York, in
which he expressed himself in favor Of the
emancipation Of slaves, and particularly in
Missouri; said his position was well known,
and he was willing to make sacrifices TO ac-
complish SO desirable result. Pending
this election, that letter was read, and some
members who acted with the Nationals bolt
nd the nomination Of Mr.. PALM, declaring
they were not willing to endorse that gentle
mans views, by electing him to position Of
honor and influence. Oothers, who opposed
the Nationals, supported Mr.. Palm, because
of those views. The Nationals, however,
stood by their man elected him and their
organ, the Catholic Leader, Of st. Louis, de-
Tended Mr.. PALM, and the party declaring
that "d!fsrencs Of opinion on the slavery
question waS ALLOWABLE in the Democratic
party" and that the democratic, ,cas moi a
pro-slauery party"
Subsequently, Mr.. barnes, Of Scott, offer
ed resolution against emancipation, and
the Nationals rejected it. SBut at still later
period, the party presented resolutions en-
bodying the same sentiments of Mr.. barnes
rejected resolutions, and they were adopted,
almost unanimously-Mr. BRowN, of st.
Louis, being the only member who spoke on
the resolutions, and against them.
This is briefly the history of the intro
duction of the subject of slavery emancipa-
ton into Missouri.
The Nationals brought the question for
ward, endorsed and elected an emancipation
ist--initiated the agitation, and now call on
ali good men to join their ranks, and help
crush principle fatal to the slavery in
terests oflhe Statewide at the same time
their organ declares theirs is not pro-
slavery party, and emancipation and abOli-
ton sentiments are allowable.
There was, and is no emancipation party
in Missouri, but after the Nationals shall
have egiated the subject for few years,
there will be such party, and their leaders
will be the first to mount it. Witness their
course on the Kansas question. They claim
ed TO be the peculiar and special friends Of
Kansas, and without their efforts, in which
all parties were urged TO aid, Kansas would
be lost TO the South. Urgent calls came from
, Kansas, for aid; they cane frequently, were
strong and were responded TO, the generou:
southern people thinking they were aiding
, to establish slavery in that Territory. Now
we find there is no pro-slavery party il
the territory. Atchison, and his followers
have resolved themselves into the Nationa
Democratic party, and tell their betrayed
and 1eeced southern friends, Sin doing SO
, we FORGET slarcry and anti-siausry," ant
: all, even Lanes rebels and Browns out
; laws, are invited TO join the new organiza
r ton of the National Democratic party O
Kansas Territory!
= The Catholic Leader declares difference
of opinion is allowable in the party in Mis-
souri,, and the National party OF Kansas ech
the same sentiments. Palm, who is willin,
, 10 make sacrifices to abolish slavery in Mis-
souri,, is good National Democrat. Lane
!. who made sacrifices, and risked his neck
T TO keep slavery out of Kansas, is also goo
National Democrat!
