Mr. Hall, on taking tie official oath, remarked es
r follows:
i Gentlemen Of the Convention, appreciate highly
. the homer conferred upon me- by my election TO tht
6 office Of LieuteH Governor OF the State. Wien
reflect upon tie embarrassments and difficulties whct
IL surround that poSon, cannot but regret that yon
choice has not fallen upon another individual con
;, cur with the gentleman who has been elected GOV
ernor aud who has Just addressed you, In deprecl,
the state Of things which exist in the Stale OF His
& souri,. We the midst Of civii war aud Can
II only say that will mite my energies with him to do
ali that we can mitigate s horrors and shorten its
Duration Gentlemen, 10 il scarcely necessary for me 10
say that my opinion TO the causes Of domestic
difficulties has been sufficiently exempied by my
, acts and words since have been u member OF this
? body 1t scarcely be necessary for me to say
that IN my opinion our difficulties have been pro-
duced almost solely If not entirely, by effort upon
the part of certain of officers and citizens 70 dig
solve our connection with the National Government
a believe gentleman that to Missouri Union is peace
and Disunion il war. l believe that to-day Missouri
could be as peaceful Illinois, ii her citizens wond
have recognized their obligations to the Constitution
aud laws OF their country and free 10 cay that
know of no reason why trey should not 30 act What
ever might be said by citizens of other States GER
taiuly NissOurians have right 10 complain Of the
general course Of the Government Of tho United
States believe il TO be fact that there is no law Of
general character upon your statutes that has been
received tho votes and support Of the representatives
of the people Of this State. Whatever we have asked
from the Government of the United States has been
given 10 us most cheerfully. We asked a LIBERAL land
policy, ard got it; we ssked grants for rail-
roads, and got them; asked for fugitive slave
law and il given TO u.s. asked that our pecli-
liar views in reference the finances of tho country
| ahonh be regarded, and that granted. In
short, feel nay safely say, that, II the people Of this
State had the whole control Of the FEDERAL Govern
mcnt, If there bad been bat one State la the Uuion
the very policy which has been adopted by tie General
Government, would have been adopted as be0t calcu-
lted advance the interests Of the State /. Is true
Gentlemen, that, owing to divisions among us private
aud sometimes public rights have been VIOLATED;
! but / believe 4 cannot DO mistaken az 20 the
| real oaIse of the troubles which now upon u.s.
believe there ia need and there never bias been anv
need, Of civil la this state. believe We rhouli
have had IL the views OF this Convention aa ex-
pressed in March last had been carried out; and be.
eye If will return 70 these views, civil war will
within borders. Ii shall therefore, gentle
meD, be my dnty, my pride rs well a. my pleasure to
do al thaI for both tho and prevalence Of
those views ia this State while have the honor TO
