TnR CASE OF nlssOuRl.
We have hsrstoiors noticed ths summary and
|uuultiag manner In which The Missouri Con-
vsutioa disposed Of The offer made BY Congress
10 pay for the emancipation Of siavse.
Ths Convention refused to allow any Discus
lIou upon H. and laid the whole thing on the
tsbls By . vote Of 50 10 Is.

rejection Of he oGSse Of Congress. Perhaps
tAey do, but they lsavs the rejection itself %
dscisive and complete - Il was before.
II sssns hat Governor Gamble, after this
rejsctioa, sent . message to the Convention,
10 substance, That the manner Of he
rejection was % discourteous, % to be likely to

Of the Prssidsnt and Congress anords an op.

unjust and injurious imputAtion."
Aftsr Governor CANDLES messsge was read
Hr. Hltobcock, of st. Louls, proposed pre-.
anbls rsoiang the resolution Of Congress, and
dosing With tho following resolutions:
. .Rssoioed, l. That, IN the opinion Of this Con.
venttou, the proposition contained 10 the said
joint resolution adopted BY Congress, and sp.
sxaitsd source a. from IL intrinsic Importance,
70 The deliberate and respectful consideration
of the people OF Missouri.
Rssospsd, .. That while = majority Of this
Coovsntion have. not felt authorized, at this
md delicate question Of private right and pub.
Ae policy presented BY the said resolution, Jet
this body desires cordially to recognise - we'll
ths generous spirit therein displayed BY the
0evsrnnent Of the United States. e the emit.
cent patriotism and ability which have distin.
guished the President Of the United States 10
kis efforts 70 subdus this unholy rebellion, and
70 restore psaos and order 10 this State"
Thess resolutions were referred to commit
sss Of I've. Of whom the majority, MesG,. Brock.
turidss. Orr, and Dooglas, reported In favor Of
their adoption. Ths minority, Nessrs. Doni-
phan sad Howell, expressed their non.conour-
renee, but proposed NO substitute. And after
disouniou, the resolutions were adopted 10 the
Convsntiou, by . vote Of 50 to 81.
rAs temper Of the Convention cannot have
bsso very good, when such resolutions as these
were carried ouly BY bare majority. They
merely acknowledge the generosity Of The Offer
q Ccugrss, and the consequent obligation Of
the State 10 give Il q deliberate and respectful
ooaaidsration," !" but they do not, by the rsmotsst
implication, encourage the hope that this con.
sidsrsaon" may result In an acceptance of the
oRer.
A contemporary. the New York Post, treats
these proceedings % reference Of the subject
10 he people. We do not zee II 10 that light,
and especially 10 connection with The fact that
rsisrsnce to the people was the precise thing
which tho Couveudon had already rejected BY
vote Of 50 to Is. The constitution Of Mis-.
'ouri, - 1t stands, prohibits the Legislature
from eusncipatiDg slsvss, even with com.
peoaation to owners. What had been pro-
posed 10 the Convention. and what had been
ispominiouly laid on the table, was merely q
proposition that the people should have 40
opportunity 10 vots on such an amendment Of
the Constitution - would make emancipation
possible. 1, Il idls to say that the Convention
bss nov, BY few empty oomplimsnts to the
Prsldent and 70 Congress, referred anything
70 the people. It 10 not 90. III, refusal Of the
Convention TO submit the question to the a-bi.
tsmsot Of popular vote, remains uureversed.
The truth is, and It Is 10 vain 10 Disguise II,
Tho offer Of Congress TO assist pecunlarily such
S<stss - would emancipats slaves before this
war closes, and with view to closing the war,
he's utterly failed TO produce any other result
ttAu sstisiying The country Of the persistent
folly and unreasonsblenes OF slaveholderr.
Throwing out Of the account Delaware, where
slavery has only nominal existence, It was
Missouri, Of all the Border State., which was
most likely 70 have accepted the off,r OF Con-
gres. With len proportion Of slaves to wbits
population, and surrounded on three sides by
free States, Missouri must be more ready to
yield to The current Of emancipation, than either
Maryland or Kentucky. But after thl. rebuff
IN Missouri, what prospect Of acceptance else
vhsre can reasonably be claimed for ~
