settled" in their own judgment and purpose,
in such manner as to entitle them TO the SYM
pathy and support of loyal, liberty-lovlng citi-
gems everywhere. At their State Election last
Fall, when the great central Free States faltered
and fell away from the support Of the National
cause. Missouri astonished Us all by giving a
clear majority for the Government and the war
on the platform of Immediate Emancipation.
She elected Radical Legislature and gave a
Radical majority in her vote for Congress.
When Republican States like New-York, Ohio
and Pennsylvania, at least seemed each to " turn
IFS back on ITSELF" Missouri, Slave State, an
moderately and uniailngly Democratic State,
pronounced for the Administration, the War,
and the Proclamation of Freedom. II does ap-
pear 70 Us that this noble and important deci-
sion, so cheering at O crisis Of disaster and de-
preston, entities her Radicals to quite other
treatment from all friends Of the National cause
than that they are receiving from The Times.
". But THE Times proceeds:
What We complain OF in the Radicals OF Missouri Is
that they are content to fight the battle on their own
soil and on ito merits. They have made n vehement
aud menaong attempt 10 GEORGE The President ana oy
eminent Il the United States to take sides van uem'
as party in this controversy and. by way 0f aidins
this endeayor they have sought 10 array public senti
men IN this city and elsewhere In their behalf on the
plea that all in Missouri who oppose immediate .i'hci

nouneed by them enemy II the Go'erlneht-aS an
ally Of The Rebel Coaieder,cy.
The Times is indeed mistaken. The Radicals
IF Missouri won their splendid and most mo-
meutous triumph last Fall without seeking or
receiving any outside help And now they
only ask that the knife Of their deadly ana
traitorous enemies shall not be pressed To
their threats by the potent arm Of the Federal
Government. Only give them just such a
Commanding-General as Maryland now has
and they will ask no further odds from any
quarter. Their Governor and BIS advisers are
their relentless enemies; but they can ABIDE
that Al the patronage of the state Gov
ernrnent Is welded for their de'truciion-they
ask no sympathy on that account. But when
the heavy arm of the Government Is upllited
70 strike down its friends in the interest ol
il. implacable foes, they feel that tins Is drop
! too much.
That " all who onpose Immediate fmancipa-
ton arc disloyal," is not their po-'uoh' AAe'
DO no. dream that Attorney General Bates noT
Gov. Gamble, nor any Of the Dlairs, is a, heart
foe of the Union or a conscious ally OF Jeh
Dayis-far from it. Bat this they do hold
that. though every opponent Of Immediate
Emancipation is not disloyal, every open or Sc
crct traitor is a deadly foe Of Immediate Eman

.hc wa,chword In Missouri Of " Conserya

are at heart bitterly hostile 10 any Emancipa

Emancipationist, however gradual, if they Only
dare. With them, Graiualism Il a mere dodge

profiably return 20 their norma! condition OF
Pro.Slayery intolerance and fanatioism. Crush
ont the Radicals, and Gradual Emancipation
would be shclyed aud denounced within week
by the great mass Of it, present advocates. The
few wel-meanng but mistaken Unionisls whom
circumstances have misled into hostility to the
Radical. will have al they can do :, save their
own lives, If their present allies shall ever regan
the unqucstioned sway they enjoyed but a few
years ago.
V. Il ia quite possible that the Radicals Of
Missouri have said and done things which il
were wiser To have forborue. Bat II must be
considered that they have every reason to be
terribly in earnest-that they have seen their
compatrots and neghbors shot and stabbed for
no oliense but deToton 10 the Union, and they
know that such will be their own fate also il
Slavery shall survive the War, and the present
gradual Einancipationists be once more at Liberty
to act ss they feel We exhort the Radicals to all
possible iorbearance, but their perils are great,
and 50 ore their proyoeatious. Jadge them cam
didy, and with fair allowance for their peculiar
perpexties and dangers. In al this broad
land. there are none whose sacrifices and sui-
fcrings have been greater, or who have done
less 10 deserve their misfortunes.
