In the Convention, Yesterday, Nc. Henderson,
chairman Of the committee to which was refer
red the communication OF the commissioner from
Georgia, presented long report, declaring
against secession, aud exhorting Georgia aud
other seccedng States to desist from The revolu-
tOnary measures commenced by them, and unite
their voice with ours in restoring peace and
cementinG the Union. In other regards the &c
port does not materially differ from that OF the
committee on federal relations.
Mr.. Birch presented minority report, deny
ing the legal right of secession, but recognizing
the right If revolution. While deploEing the
sectional disregard of duty, We will not despair
OF justice till our complaints shall have been spe
officially and uuavailingly Submitted to the nor
thern people. That property in slaves is Il con-
stitutional right, and if the Federal government
mpairs that right toe slayeholIing States should
be found uniting in is deiense and In such
events as may legitimately follow, Missouri shall

by the use OF force on the part OF the Federal
Governments against the people of the seeded

sions of devotion to the idea of reunion, il de-
clares for National Convention, in the hope that
its deliberations may result in measures which
will secure that object. The same Voice consis-
tentiy pronounced that there is at present no
adequate cause for retiring from the Unioc, and
refuses at this time to pledge Missouri to seces
