ST. LOUIS, June I3.-The Missouri Demo-
cratic State Convention passed a resolution
instructing their delegates to Baltimore to
vote as a unit against the nomination Of
Presidential candidates Round after
round Of applause-l
In the Missouri convention, the action of
the Kansas, Iowa and Indiana Democratic
conventions we're received with tumultuOus
applause.
The committee on resolutions reported a
long preamble, setting forth that by the
patriotism and sense of justice of the Lib
.eral Republicans and by the Democrats,
Missouri has been redeemed from the tyr
amy and oppression of a Radical minority;
stating that the Liberals stand ready to do
the same thing for the country at large:
that they have already placed ticket in
the field to the support of which the liberal
Republicans and Democrats are already
committed, and that it would not only be
unwise, but trifiing with the dearest inter-
ests of the people, should the Democracy
place another ticket in the field, and thus
Insure the election of Grant, the continued
oppression and plumber Of the people, and
the destruction of liberty and constitutional
government throughout the country.
