EF The Missouri State Times says of
the arrival of the Legislature at Jefferson
City:
A number of members of tic General
Assembly have already arrived. and it is
believed that nearly all will be in at the
opening of the session. There seems to
be general agreement among all we have
seen that tho great work of the session ia
to devise some correct system of emanci-
patton. All feel that the days Of slavery
in Missouri are numbered, and though
there will be doubtless diversity of senti-
ment as to details, it is believed that all
friends of emancipation will be found
ready to unite upon such measures us the
majority shall decide upon as best.

the last in the retreat.
