CASE OF MISSOURI.
Tie news from Missouri is startling
That traitor lyed in the wool-Claib.
1.vkson-whom the people Of that State
rnlrckily placed in the Executive chair,
las taken upon himself the responsibility
Of iraugurating revolution against the
Federal government. His proclamation,
filed with multitude Of alsehoods SO
tro:s that they hardly need refutaion, we
11is.t entire, to give him the benefit Of such |
justification of his treason as he can make. |
We leave his innumerable lies concerning
The acts and Intentions OF the loyal men Of
lis State, to be dealt with by the people,
Wise patriotism and fidelity they call in
question, and hasten to point out the un-
tu:,!'1c hypothesis deadly political
lGtsy-upon which his assumed right Of
revolution is baEcd. The State Of Missou-
riis, according to the theory which he has
f1amcd and upon which he acts, the CO.
equal Of the Fcderal Government Her
Ityal'y is thing Of her own option. She
rey approve or condemn, assist or resist,
ihc Federal laws as she pleases, and none
can call her to an account for the exercise
Of her sovereignty. She owes no al
lcciance to the Union Her
connection with the other States end the
Central Power is temporary and dissolu.
lie at her pleasure with or without the
consent of the other contracting party.
Ekc is u member Of tho Union when she
clt,cses to be 80 considered, or sovereign
vlen in her opinion sovereignty becomes
lcr best. No obligations Of plighted faith
Exist TO restrain her from doing her pleas
rrc at her own time and in her own way.
Ils is the theory by which secession is
advocated and defended, and the failure
Ct GIN. Lyon and Col Blair to assent 10 it.
in ltclialr Of the Government, and, in obe-
Gitncc to it pledge themselves that no Fed
en! troops should be marched over the sa-
cred soil Of Missouri, is the cause set forth
lytl.e Governor himself for the mad and
i1ai.orous act upon which he has vcntured-
Tie theory is known as the States Rights
Doctrine, and is the fruitful mother Of the

6. That we believe the People of this State of all
parties sincerely attached to the Constitution
and the Union. and for the purpose of preserving
reConstructinr the Union, and for the sake of our
friends in the North and West who have in good
faith stood by and advocated our constitutional
rights, We approve of and do recommend the adop-
ton of the amendments to the Constitution propos-
ed by Senator Crittendcn.
7. That while we would go far the farthcst
to adjust, upon the principles of equality and right,
the unhappy differences which now exist between
the Northern and Southern portions Of this COME
deracy, we believe that an alnicable adjustment
OF those difficulties never be effected by re-
sort to coercion n2on any pretence whatsoever on
the part of the Federal Government against those
States which have or may hereafter seccdc
from the Union.
8. That while earnestly advocate the recon-
struction of our Union and desire delegates to
all efforts to that effect, that consider the
interests and honor of Maryland indssolubly con-
nected with Virginia, Kentucky and other border
States of the South and that should the course of
events unfortunately render such reconstruction
impossible, and should result in two separate con-
federacies, that then Maryland will share the fate
and future of her Southern sisters let that fate and
future be what it may.
All the foregoing resolutions were then unani-
mously adopted bysthe Convention.
The President then appointed the following
Committee Of Correspondence THOMAS A.
MILLAR, SAMUEL Cox, F. STONE and J. r.

On motions it was determined that the Port
Tobacco Times, National Intelligencer, Balti-
mnre Sun, and other papers in the State, be re-
quoted to publish these proceedings.

Then, if man, why not State? We ask
then, what will or can the General Government
do with them? We pause for an answer. In
the meantime we would suggest that when a
fire breaks out in the woods, it is generally con-
sidered simple madness to fight the fire, but all
wise men go off at a distance, encirce the wild
element, prevent its spread and suffer it to burn
itself out. This is just our view in regard to the
present troubles. Let the non seeding States
be rendered fire proof by simple act Of justice,
the repeating Of obnoxious laws in the erring
Northern States, and giving full guarantee to
the whole Union that all the States shall have
their proper rights respected. By this means
suffer the fire of secession to burn itself out and
when the smoke has subsidized and clear and
healthful atmosphere within the Union present.
ed to their view, shall see the seeding States
coming back, not as conquered provinces, not
as disobedient children, not as whpt ours, but
rs good and loyal citizens, ready to unite in
forming a stronger Union than ever.
One word to those of both North and South
who are busily engaged in stirring up strife
with an eye to dissolution or for any Other pur-
pose. Gentlemen, do you expect the people of
this mighty nation. after the storm is past land
we have strong hope that it will yet pass and
that soon,) do you expect the people Of. this
mighty nation to forget you? and if rernem-
bered, for that remembrance to be in kindness
for your deeds? If you do, let us inform you
that never in all the course of your short lives
were you more mistaken. The people WI; re-
member you, but it will be to point you OF to
their children as the men who, in 1860 and '61
tried hard to overthrow the government as men
who made every effort to precipitate the nation
into revolution, civil war and bloolshed As
men who would fain have destroyed 'theland
of the free and the home of the brave" from ia
natical and selfish motives. And having taught
their children a new lesson in patriotism, point
to your example as one which they must never
follow and to your person as one which they
would do well to shun. No personal injury
will you sustain but, oh, what a life! feared
by many, shuned by all, pitied by none. And
when it shall please the Omnipotent to call you
hence, no sigh will escape the bosom of theliv-
ing, no tear will wet your coffin lid. Ybur
work has nearly been completed, but may the
great overruling God avert the end you would
secure for us. Men of the North, men of the
South, if fanaticism or treason enters into your
hearts, repent of the evil already done and case
to sprerd it more.
