A VoICE FROM MIssoURI.-We now see whittier
we are drifting. Anarchy, lawlessness, violence,
revolution, are before u.s. and not far Off. We
must get back as speedily as possible to the sup
port Of the constitution. We must worship it
stand by it. We must agree to sustain the law,
whatever it may be, until it can be changed
der the forms of the Constitution. We must put
down all attempts al violence no matter where
they may be made, and execute the law with even
more than ordinary rigor And in this connection
we have a word to say to the people OF Missouri.
Radicalism is rampant in this State. Radicalsm
threatens the overthrow cf the acknowledged
Government Radcalism avows its intentions to
use force to carry out this object. Radcalism has
burnt the Judges of courts in efigy. and
threatened them with violence if they dared TO
hold courts in counties where the grand jury
might find bills against them for murder and 9th
er crimes, and some of them have already been
arrested for treason against the state. Radicalism,
in this state has declared its contempt of all law,
and that revolution is its object. Ratlicasm must
be nut down now and forever, or the Government
will he subverted To this end, the People every
where should unite in sustaining the state Gov
ernment in every effort for the preservation Of the
public peace. The courts should be sustained in
the dispcnsaton of justice, matter where it
may strike. Herein is our ion.-.NiSsoaui
