ST. LOUIS, Mo, May 14.-General Harney
publishes, this morning, an address to the
people Of Missouri, in which he calls atten-
tion to the military bill recently passed by
the Legislature, which he regards as an indi-
rect Secession ordinance, manifestly uncon-
stitutioDal, and ought not to be upheld by the
good citizens of Missouri.
He says whatever may be the termination
OF the present condition of things, in respect
to the cotton States, Missouri must share the
destiny of the Union. ..
All her material interests point to this re-
suit, and SO important is this regarded to the
great interests of the country that venture
the opinion that the whole power of the
United States Government, if necessary, will
be exerted to maintain Missouri in the
Union. ..-
Speaking of Camp Jackson, he says the
names of Davis and Beauregard marked its
main avenues, that body Of men organized
in the interests of the Secessionists, had been
received there openly, bearing the dress and
badge distinguishing the army of the So
called Southern Confederacy, and leaves the
people to draw their own inferences of the
character and ultimate purpose Of the en-
campment.
He states, however, there were many good
and loyal men in the camp who were in no
manner responsible for its reasonable char
acter.
In conclusion he says: "Dlsclaiming all
desire or intention to interfere with the pre-
negatives of the State of Missouri, or with
the functions of the Executive, yet regard
| it my plain path of duty to express to the
people, in respectful but decided language,
| that within the field and scope of my CON,
mand, the supreme law of the land must and
| shall be maintained, and no subterfuges
| whatever, whether in forms Of legislative
acts or otherwise, can be permitted to harras
OF oppress the good, law-abiding people Of
| Missouri.
81 shall exert my authority to protect their
! persons and property from violations of every
| kind, and | shall deem it my duty to sup
press all unlawful combinations of men,
whether formed under a military organiza-
ton or otherwise
