A large enthusiastic meeting held at
the court house last night, which was par.
tioipated In by those opposed to the action
Of the State Convention in adopting the
present scheme Of emancipation, and in
declaring exemption Of slave property
from tax1tion, &c.
Mayor Filley presided. Speeches we're
made BY Charles ID. Drake, Henry T.
Blow, C. P. Johnston, B. Gaatz Brown,
and others.
Resolutions were adopted setting forth
that the action of the Convention in its
last session was arbitrary, tyrannical and
in opposition to the plainest principles Of
republican government, and proved the
body from which it emsnatsd to be un-
worthy of respect and confidence by q
free people. That although described in
its title ordinance for emancipation Of
slaves, ws can regard the Convention
enactments in no other light than Gov
ert attempt to strengthen permanently
slavery in Missouri, under cover Of their
disguise Of protested purpose to accom-
plish freedom.
That attempts to favor always the own
ers Of slaves by that body, large major
| ity of whom are Shareholders, at expense
of others. byrexempting slave property
from all tax and exhibition Of spirit SO
narrow and mercensry. and at the same
time SO as to equally merit our condem-
nation and contempt.
That We hold tho people Of Missouri rs
citizens Of State, occupying place in
q republican government, are entitled 10
the principle of popular sovereignty. and
right to choose their own rulers.
That in condemning the action of the
Convention as body we except from our
denunciation minority of true men, who
labored to secure to the people constitu-
tional rights, and speedy emancipation,
which in our Judgment will benefit the
condition of Missouri.
