MIssoURL-The message of the retiring
governor OF Missouri, Stewart, and his sue
cessor, jackson, are thus briefly reported by
the telegraph
Cor. Stewart reviews the progress of the
abolition and Republican parties, and says
that Missouri, with scarcely a disunionist IN
her borders, is determined to demand and
maintain her rights at every hazard. She
came into the Union on compromise, and is
willing to abide by lasting compromise as
surfing to her all the just rights which may
be agreed upon IN solemn convention OF all
the parties interested. The Governor dep
recates the action of South Carolina, and
says that the people Of Missouri would have
felt more sympathy had the movement origi-
mated with those who, like themselves, have
suffered severe losses and constant annoyance
from the interference and depredations of
outsiders. Missouri will hold TO the Union
as long as it is worth an effort to preserve 1t.
Gov. jackson, in his inaugural, says that
the destiny of the slaveholding States IS lden-
teal, and that Missouri VII best consult her
own interests by standing by her sister slave
holding States. He advises the holding OF
State Convention, the organization OF the
militia, and the legalizing the suspension OF
specie payment by the Banks

DONATION AT DANBY.-A donation party
for the benefit of the Rev. M. A. Wicker, OF
the NJ E. Church, was held at Lords Hall,
Dandy, on the evening of Jan. 9th, 1861.
The party was largely attended without re-
gard to sect or creed. After an evening
pleasantly spent in social intercourse, the
party separated, leaving a very substantial
evidence of their appreciation of their deserv-
edly popular preacher.
