THE SECRET OUTING CALLED SESSION.

We knew there must be some personal
and private reason why Governor Willard
does not call an extra session Of the Legisla-
ture No one doubts the absolute necessity
of such session, for the benefit Of the
benevolent Institutions and other interests,
and every paper in the State, Of every party,
has urged the necessity of such session,
except the Sentinel, which dares not avow a
sentiment in opposition to Bright, Willard
q Co.. We were at loss TO know why the
Governor remained so obstinate, until this
week, when q Democratic member Of the
House gave us his opinion. He says that,
according to his understanding, the prompt
payment of the interest on the State Bonds
is such condition in the contract Of sur
rendering one-half for the canal, that fail
ure TO pay, will work forfeiture of the
contract, and throw back upon us the canal
and take back the surrendered bonds. al"
he adds, "such should be the result as il
most certainly will be, no person or party
can defend Willard against the charge OF
having been bought by the Bond Holders"
There is in this suggestion the most plausi-
bic apology for the Governor that we have
seen. The Bond Holders can afford to give
100000 TO cause forfeiture Of the con-
tract

Very Thankfai for Very small Favors-Thc
Missouri Election.
The St Louis Leader, last week, announ-
ced the triumphant election of Stewart by
four hundred majority in large capitals,
adding
The Democratic party is victorious Mis-
sour, In this election, though nobody SEEM
ed TO feel il, has been the battle ground of
the Union--and the field is won-thank
Godl
This result is not different from our expec-
tation, from the time we learned that there
rised returns were giving Stewart increased
majorities. 1t is not difficult to revise the
returns where all the officers are Of the par
ty.
There is nothing in the result which Re-
pnblicans should regret The mere fact of
Rollins's election would not be half SO graf
flying as to know thatin the large vote which
he has received, the people of Missouri
have expressed a willingness to discuss 1.-THE
slavery question Rollins is not a Republi-
can, except that he is in favor of free speech
and a free press He is STAKEHOLDER, and
has never declared himselfin favor of eman
cipation. He considers it an open and de-
batable question, and is willing to have it
discussed Stewart is not stakeholder
he ismerely one of the poor white folks
who doesn't own a niger" yet who is ready
to obey those who do. He is one of the
most pitiable and contemplate class of crea-
lures. He is opposed to discussing the
question-opposed to emancipation now or
hereafter
With the Leader we thank God for the
result of this election We thank him that
so many have dared to vote for free speech
and free press, so soon after the blockad-
ing of the Missouri river and the destruc-
ton of presses, and we thank Him no less
for the chastizement he is administering to
that wicked State IN inflicting upon them
such a thing as Stewart for Governor They
have not yet sufficiently repented of their
sins, to be blessed with a MAN for Governor,
though there are hopeful signs of penitence.
God, in mercy, sometimes sends judgments
upon people in the person of such Govern
ors as Willard and Stewart.

stride in the right direction in divorcing the

Another such stride would have plunged
