SECESSION IN MISSOURI

Proclamation of the Governor of Missouri
5O,OOO Volunteer Called for to Resist the
United states Troops.
ST. Louis, June l3. Governor jackson has is
sued proclamation rehearsing the grievances in
flcted by the Federal Government which he saws
are designed to reduce Missouri to the same cond-
ton as Maryland He accuses the Federal au-
thorites Of fostering the inauguration of revou.
ton and civil war for the overthrow of the State
government, and calls 50 900 State militia into ac-
tive service, for the protection Of the lives liberty
and property OF the citizens The proclamation
concludes thus:
lnissuing this proclaim aton, hold it to be my SOL
emn duty to remind you that Missouri is still ia the
United States; that the Executive Department of
the State government does not arrogate TO itself
the power to disturb that relation; that power has
been wisely vested in a cInventinn which will at
the proper time express your sovereign will; and
lhat In the meantime, it is your duty to obey all
the constitutional requirements of the federal gov
ernment; but it is equally my duty to advise you
that your first allegiance is due to your own
State, and that you are under no obli-
CATION to obey the unconstitutional edicts of
the military desp0tism which has intro
duced itself at Washington, nor to submit to the
infamous and degrading sway of its wicked minions
In this State. No brave aud true-hearted Mis-
sourlan will obey one or submit to the other.
Rise, then, and drive out the ignominious invaders
VINO have dared to desecrate the soil which YOUR
laoors have made fruitful, aud which is c0nse-
Grated by your homes.
