The civil Wnr which convulses Missouri,
bids fair to .exsripate Slavery from that State,
however the institution may be affected in the
other States BY the struggle. Slavery VAS i'm
pcsed on Missouri in defiance ofthe will Of
the people Of the Union, by the &c Missouri
Compromise" There is no excuse for the
existence Of African Slavery in Missouri. No
pretense can be set up that s1aYes only can
endure the climate. No cotton, rice Or sugar
ie produced. Tt is q Western State, and be-
longs Eot to the South. Ia well class Illinois
and Ohio with the south and say that they
need slaves to cultivate their soil If the
Missouri Compromise fastened the curse Of
Slavery on the State, the Shareholders rebel
lion will lead to its banishment from her
borders.
A correspondent Of the St. Louis Republican,
writing to that paper from Jefferson, speaks
as follows Of the effect Of the war on slavery
In Missouri:
The chance for light grows smaller By de-
secession soldiers rolls off to the South But
their second hegira from Missouri will be diff
ferent from the first. Thst Ia coming to pas
which predicted months ago IS a necessary
consequence Of secession and military oec1-
patioD. Secession slsveholders by ths thous-
pany and follow Price's army, and if the way
rtWaine open, there will be such slave exodus
from Missouri this fall as was never heard Of.
