for it is not likely that they will present them
selves TO fill his place. The question then comes
up, what shall be done in this remarkable con,in-
eency2 How shall the wheels Of constitution
al government be put in motion again!
Luckily, the question is Of easy solution.
The State Convention-the very body which
was devised by the Secessionlsts to precipitate
Missouri into the Southern ConfedeFacyIhas
vel an existence, absolute and uncomfortable
Adjourning to day nan ed, ityet authorized and
appointed a comniite to call the convention TO-
gether at such time and place as they may mink
the public eXigencies may require, and IT'S per-
fectly competent for that committee to ACT now or
at any time. The committee IS composed OF the
President STEALING PRICE; First Congressional
District. THos. G. SGAGTT; Second District, J.
T. WATSON; Third District, J. T. TINDALL;
Fourth District, RosERr WILSON; Fifth District,
J. PRoc. KKoTT; Sixth District, Jos. w. Nc
CLUr C; Seventh District, JAS. r. MCCORMACK.
In the ''exisency" Of fhe times, we take It for
granted that these gentlemen will act promptly,
as becomes GOOD citizens and true Union men,
They Here.put there for that purpose. We want
them so 10 act that the Convention canat any ear
" day, take upon themselves to appoint Provls-
ional Government, by which we meal Temporal
ry Governor for the State of Missouri. We want
no appointment emanating from.a military power,
national or S,ate;no appointment for longer term
than is absolutely necessary to restore 10 the
people the rsght 10 select aperson 10 rule over
Them; no appointm ent that will not be acceptable
10 a majority of the people of the State. As we
have sand il is competent for the Commute 10 call
together the Convention, and for that Lody 10 ap-
point a provisional Governor, and then they can
proceed to alter or amend the Constitution IN such
partic ulsrs-and only such-as may be deemed
essential to put the Government IN motion again
This il occurs 10 US, may be confined TO the OH;
ces OF Governor and Lieutenant Governor, and
the General Assembly, with whom rest the Ex-
eeutive and Legislative duties OF the Government.
There is an absolute fitness and propriefy IN Va
eating the seats of the present members OF the
Legislstur for, 1t will he recoilected that they
adjourned to meet in September, and, instead Oh
aiding the Governor, whoever he may be, in CIV
ing peace and prosperity 70 the STATE, they would
with their ..Goiden Circle' not ons still psra-
mount, do everything possible 10 thwart him. 10
give confidence at home and abroad; 10 secure tbs
enactment OF such laws as will put the financial
affairs of the State on an improved and permanent
footing; to restore the School Fund and other
funds to their legitimate use; to repeal the add-
tionaI tax imposed on the people at the last ses-
sion; 10 puta stopto the issue of warrants; due
bills given by military officers on behalf os the
State, and in short to ascertain tm actual expon-
SEES incurred by the administration on this account
above all, TO repeal the famous military bill; The
passage CT which las been the cause Of all oul
troubles; il is indispensable that ew legislature
should be elected. r..
| We submit these views 10 the people Of Ms.
souri,. They could be greatly elaborated, but thi:
each citizen must do for himself II Missouri i:
to be saved from bloodshed and ruin, it must be
BY an effort of the people; an effort which shall
put down forever the miserable politicians who
have pbta ined power by hanging on 10 party
This Office the people have il now in their powe
TO perform, and we hope il will be done with a
hearty good will Republican, 18th.
