You will do me an especial favor to

Missouri should act in concert with Ken

to go out, and should go together, If pos
sible. My judgment is that North Car

be out in a few days. and when they go,
Missouri should follow. Let US ther

That she ought to go out at the proper
time, / have no doubt.
She ought to have gone out last winter
when she could have seized the public
arms and public property and defended
herself. This she has failed to do and
must now wait awhile.
Paschall is a base submissionist anC
desires to remain with Union, even Al
every other slave State should 90 Out. Thi;
he proved in indorsing all who voted a.

The people of Missouri, l must think

the people are twenty to one against hin

aid and support. You should denounct
his course and expose his baseness.
To brighten our people into the mos
slavish position, he parades before them
from day to day. our defenceless attitude
and meanlW makes it out a thousand
times wor%e than it really is. Missouri
can put i6to the field to-day twenty thou

you can, l would be very glad to see you
here on Tuesday evening. l hope you
will fully comprehed my whole policy and
without undertaking 20 shadow it forth in
detail. l only ask that you will defend
me from the false position in which Pas
call and Price seem disposed to place me.
Call on every country paper to defend
me and assure them that / am fighting
under the true flag. Who does not know
that every sympathy Of my heart is with

not the patience or the time to talk of
such matters now. Let US first preserve
our liberties. and attend to business af-
fairs afterwards. Let all our energies
and all our means be applied to our de-
Tense and safety.
Yours truly, G. F. JACKSON.
Governor Of Missouri.
