Missouri CONVENTION. March Gin the
Convention to-day various resolutions were
referred. One declaring cooperation with |
Georgia in secession one by Ex-Gov. Stew
art declaring that no overt act had been COM
mitted by the government justifying secession
or revolution and one by Judge Orr, declar-
ing that we have the best government in the
world, and that we intend to keep it.
A resolution to refer the Inaugural Adj
dress to a Committee of the Whole, was de-
bated and withdrawn
~ We learn that Mr.. Bell, of Tennessee,
and Mr.. Gilmer, of this State, were offered
seats in Mr.. Lincoln's Cabinet. Mr.. Bell re-
piled that under the circumstances he could
not accept unless the incoming President
would furnish him with a written programme
of his policy that if this should be done, and
he should be thereby assured that no move
ments would be made by the President and
OdOltlCb LIN W HIS SCCINOU, d1u he SQOQlQ
be also thus assured that he would be able to
act tremendously with the administration, he
would accept a place in the Cabinet. A spe-
cial programme was not furnished, but he was
referred to the Inaugural as eekodying the
views of the President. Mr.. GilInlr, we learn,
made the same reply but in both cases the
positions referred to were at first declined,
and the terms as above given were not re-
CURED until they were pressed a second time
to consent to occupy seats in the Cabinet
We give the above as rumor, but we have
no doubt it may be relied on as substantially
correct.-Rateigh Standard.
The FLIGHT OF Mr.. LINcoLN.-It is now
pretty generally ascertained that Mr.. Lin
coin did not arrive In Baltimore in the pas
senger train from Philadelphia, but that he
travelled either in the freight train or in the
freight car of Adams & Co.'s Express. This
accounts for the statements of the detective
police that no person corresponding with
the description of the President elect, came
on that train, on which were the Chief OF
the New York Police, Mr.. Kennedy, and
other exports. The probability is that he
came as freight in the package car, accom-.
panied by a single companion, disguised as
pedlar. Of course it is only a matter of taste
how a gentleman travels, but in view of Mr.
Lincoln's position before the country, it looks
very much like sacrificing his dignity tt
s~enseless timidity.
THE FoRTs NOT YET TO BE ATTACKED
Several of tue most prominent and leading
gentlemen of the South, directly after the de
livery of the Inaugural Address, telegraphee
the Governors of South Carolina and Florida
not to attack the Forts in possession of the
Federal troops, but to await definite instruc
tions from the President of the Southern
Confederacy.
This advice may be relied on as authen
tic, considering the position these gentlemen
occupy.
