THE DISUNION CONSPIRACY IN MISSOURI.
A MILITARY DICTATOR TO BE APPOINTED.

Eros The Mi.soyri Dsnocret Of Jan. I.
The drama which was introduced at the capital by
Gov. Jacksons reasonable, incendiary Message as
prologue Ia unfolding Itsef with startling rapitiiy
1be General Assembly ia hardly organized when u u
called upon 10 enact revolutionary measures. War
proiects are already the order Of the day. Bs for
meiamorJhoting the Governor into Military Die
tator: for ar,ning the State; calling Secession Con
yei,ion, have been flung down like gauntets Oh the
table Of the Senate. The Disunioniss seem 10 have
adopted Dsnton's motto" Audaeity, Audacity, Au-
dscity!" The first step, il APPEAR, ia to rob all tho
local authorities of the powers which they have ever
exercited and centraze those powers in the oyernor
Ma, ORE Sheriff. judge, &c. to be deprived OF all
rover 10 preserve the peace. An Autocrs solouIning
occasionally in Jefferson City, and reading amid the
cartc shades OF Saline county, ~ TO be substituted Tor
The various municipal magistrates and local
tors Of the peace. The solitary throne OF the depot Is
10 he erected ON the ruins OF sefgoyernment.
The citizens Of st. Louis, and We suppose OF every
other city in the State are TO be subjected to the will
Of a dictator who has ayowed bis designs Of plunging
the suffering people who have elected him Governor
to establsb military dictatorhp--is also bill 70
authorize not and disorder IL IL bill TO give the
blue coeksde gentry unmeasured license TO commit all
manner Of outrage with IMMUNITY. II bill 70 sup
piers every loyal demons rationevery Union meetings
aud lie ntents beng thus tyranncal and vicious was
appropriately introduced by Of the fraudueniy-
elected Senator from this county-Johnson by mans.
It's companion bll in relation TO the Secession Con-
vention introduced by that other pillar Of the
State from st. Louis-Churchill. The army bill and
its aathor Monroe Parsons who ia known 10 fune by
biz project Of educating the youth of Missour from tho
proceeds Of kidnapping, complete the unholy circle.
This IL the programme thrust upon the General Ar
enbly tho rst week of the session. and il Is saying
but little 10 declare that it il the most nefarous aud
foolish which the people OF Missouri and their repre-
sena,iyes have been ever called to act upon Every
part OF converges TO the center OF disuDon One OF
s earliest efforts will be the rupture Of that ancient
comfy subsisDg between Missouri and the adjacent
Free States. Nothing ID more probable than that the
Governors and Legislatures Of Illinois and iowa VIII
PROMPTLY respond TO the hostile attitude which Mia
souri threatens to assume Kansas win do the same
thing; and thus before the Winter ia over and gone,
We shall experience, we fear, new and exceedingly
unpleasant state Of affairs. We shall zee the people OF
Missouri and Of he neighboring Free States watching
each others movements with rifles in their hands bat
Nth no stronger for quarrel on either side thsn
the mutual suspicious engendered by the Pernieious
counses of Gov. jackson.
The schemes initiated in the Legislature must entail
bankruptcy and ruin the city and State unless tleso
defgns are frustrated. Their success carries with II
the reputation of the State debt in the first place,
circumstance which perhaps recommends them IN GER
tain quarters. II is manifest that II the resource OF
The State 10 be dried up and its revenues devoueo
by military srmaments and chronic panic, the pawn 'n
OF interest on twenty-five millions OF bonds 10 out OF
the question Unless the General Assembly IMPOSE
new tax Immediately, the July interest cannot oe
raid and how can a tax for that or any other ie ga
object be imposed if the powshares are TO be beaten
into swords, and a war policy established The sum
of $50 900 which Parsons bill purposes to appropn
ate, will effect little or nothing.
The plan IA 10 authorize the newycreased Dictator
10 make such contracts he shall deem necessary and
We hazard little In asserting that the cost OF these con-
tracts will be counted in millions instead Oh thousands
The Convention s,f will cost the State round sum
When it Is remembered that the single item OF pu6ne
printing Last year abetracted hundred thousand oo
lars out OF the treasury there is hardly possibility OF
measuring the scale OF expenditure this year some
nay be shallow enough TO suppose that the repndation
which Icons up in the dis ince will give relief but
such qross faacy can only deceive that class from
which tho inmates OF the penitentiy are annually ne
cruked. Property would be actually vslue.es in the
State in tho event OF is people being loaded down
with the in:sipy Of repDdiation.
