There Is, of course, hot tho least doubt that
the CONVENTION which VII meet in January
will by an overwhelming majority declare in
favor Of immediate ond incorporated nboli'
ton OF Slavery. Nor can wo entertain tho
least doubt in view Of the Radical maiorities III
most Of the counties, that the measure VIII be
ratlfcd by the popular vote.
But Missouri will not long be satisfied with
this new abolition Of slavery. One OF the most
gifted and the most influential among the lead
ora OF the Radical party, Senator Grat1 Brown,
has boldly declared that the right OF suffrage
belongs 20 all persons without distinction OF
color, who have not forfeited il by criminal con-
duct, for instance, by participation in the Re-
belllCn. Graft Brown ia not, as some OF his
enemies have charged upon him, in favor Of
giving Immediately the right of suffrage TO every
freedman, for he expressly reserves Temporary
and transitory stages OF qualification But he
strongly urges the recognition Of the principle
that men should not be excluded from the right
of voting on account Of their color.
Missouri, as was to be expected, hsl been
profoundly ogitated By G.atg Browns mani
festo. Tho organs Of the Union party IN 81.
Louis are mostly opposed to any discussion OF
this subject By the approaching State Conyen'
ton. They urge against 1t that the Convention
has no mandate from the people to deal with
this question, and that any step taken toward
giving the right Of suffrage to tho negroes
might leopard the ratification by tho popular
vote Of tho new Constitution. II IL also re-
