Concerning The question Of slavery in Missouri as
connected with the question Of Union or Dsunion,
cannot do better than quote resolution passed at
Union meeting held in this city days since II is
very much to the point:

The plain soxon Of this IL, that Slavery cannot
tain it,ef if left alone. The resolution was drawn By
the beet men in sis portion Of the State. Being inter

instruments the public sentiment Of the world is w!ei
