ST Louis. July l0-A large and enthusiastic
meeting was held nj the court house last night
which participated in by those opposed To the
action of the State Convention in adopting the

the exemption of slave property from taxation,
and in denying the people the privilege of voting
upon the ordinance of emancipation
Mayor Filley presided Speeches were made
bv Chss ID Drake. Henry 7 Blair J T. John
son. b Gratz Brown and others.
Resolutions were adopted setting forth that
the action of the convention in its last session is
arbitrary, tyrannical and in opposition to the
Dlalnest principles oil republican government and
prove the body from which il eminated to be un.
worthy of the respect and confidence of free
people: that although described in the title as ar
ordinance for the emancipation of slaves, We can
regard the conventions enactment in no other
light than AS a covert attempt TO strengthen and
perpetuate slavery in Missouri; that the attic npt
to favor owners of slaves by eXemptiDg slave
property from all taxes exhibits spirit so mar
row and mercenary, and At the same time so un-
fair, as to equally merit our condemnation and
contempt: that We hold that the people of Mis-
>omi, as citizens of State occupying place in
a republican government, entitled TO the prn-
eiples of popular sovereignty and the right To
choose aud select their own public servants;
that in condemniug the acton of the conven
ton a. body. We except from our denunciation
4 minority OF true men. who l,bored TO secure Ia
the people constitutional rights and the benefits
of speedy emancipation; that IN our judgment the
condition of Missouri demands that relief which
would be afforded by eman ,ipation, not years
hence, but now. and therefore declare our
selves in favor Of the plan of emancipation which
will be most speedy in its operation; that we re-
cognize the authority of the Legislature TO call a
convention fresh from The people. as the apprO
pirate means OF obtaining redress from the impo
>ilions practi~ed by the old convention, and
which have been entailed upon by the insttu
ton of slavery We therefore call upon the
Legislature for the election of members of new
convention ~ as early day practicable, and
hereby instruct the Senators and Representatives
from this county to give their votes and influence
TO that measure: that a committee of seven be
| appointed by the President OF the meeting to
make the necessary arrangements OF the time,
place. &c. tor holding State Convention TO
carry out the views of the meeting.
