On this question need investigation. They have
now, for the ETst time 10 the history Of our fiste
dared TO avow their wicked designs In the capi
tol itself, and In presence Of the Senators ane
Representatives Of the entire State. Like Kan

beloved STATE has prospered for nearly eentu

s'The emancipation question, thanks to tn
efforts oil the Leader, seems about to becom
the topic OF discussion in Missouri. The Leade
will have 1t so, aud most of the papers here OK

The abolition Of Slavery has been suddenly n,adt
In such wise 10 plainly frishteD its opponents
and that il has already, in its very beginning
gained many unexpected friends and supporter.

plainly that the Benton Democracy have moi

to beat a retreat, but that they resolved t

II not indeed on the emancipation platform Il
self. II is certain that st. Louis and probabi
few other counties are rife for its agitation
and that any movement on the part OF the bon
derers in Western Missouri to interfere again i
the affairs OF Kansas, will certainly be the sil
nal for the agitation Of the question in Missouri
