other business, hes jo1g been known as one Of
| the clearest thinkers md ubest writers in the
/ South West. Since bis withdrawal from jour
nolism be has seldom solicited the attention Of
his fcllow-citizeus, being apparently engrossed
| in his vocation; but the just influence he so
honoTably won by years of useful and fearless
effort has never been forfeited and has not died
out; and be now appears as an advocate OF
Emancipation in Missouri as measure of i'm
perative necessity. In a forcble letter OF the
18th inst to The 81. Joseph NeD Era. be shows
that Missouri must now choose between termi-
mating Slavery aud repudiating her Public
Debt. That Debt VIII amount, on the Ist Of
July next, to Twenty Seven Millions of Dol
lars, drawing an annual interest of Il ,G2O, 600.
/ to which add S630C00 as the necessary cost
Of maintaining tie State Government, and the
aggregate is an annual charge of $2,2J00C0,
which the State, IN her exhausted, devastated con-
tion, and subject also to the heavy taxes neces-
/ sary TO maltan the Federal Government and
deiray the interest on ts Debt, is utterly una
/ bic to pay, and 90 must remain for many years
TO come, unless deluge Of Immigration can

ed. desola;e 6eds; SBd that can never be un-
less Slavery ia either destroyed outright OF 90

stlne discussion Is yisibly ut an end. The uu-
finished Railroads, which owe the State large
part of her debt cannO. be completed, and
can never pay 1.-THE of their interest unless
surrounded by more compact, energetic,
thrifty population than il compatible with SIsy
cry. Should Missouri determine TO cling 70
Slavery, she thereby determines never to pay
principal or interest of her Public Debt.

forbds it unless on the basis Of full com

tended aud calculated to make the process

difficulty fairly and frankly. All that is nece'-
sary IN the premises is n general unceIsianu-

Whi,os--who are TO the shareholders as twenty

interests, aud 30 longer be the dupts the tools,
the couSeueHces, oi the slaveholding aris-
tocraey. Just let the nog-slsyeaoldefs, or q
majority oil them, firmly resolve that they viii
take the political power OF the State into their
own hands aud wleid 1t fof their own benefit,
and Slavery will vanish Ike the dew. 1t lives
on u monopoly OF political power-is shrivels
and disappears whenever that power is asserted
by the Boa-slayeho,ding majority. The conse-
quenoes Of the Rebellion have already reduced
the sleves OF Missouri from Gne hundred thou
sand 10 not more tbln fifty thousand: aud
these will speedily dwindle u thirty, twenty,
ten thousand, and TO none, If o majority OF
the people resolve to rid themselves OF tho iu-
tolerable nuisance. Says Dir. Brown:
