The Missouri Convention* This body, we observe, in a latt St. Loui* pa|>er, have determined the important question of slavery, by prohibiting the interference of the Legislature on this subject, 'further thau to stop the importation of slaves for sale . ? The following paragraph we have copied from the St, Louis Enquirer.? [JWillfdgevilU Reco'der. " The committee appointed to draft a constitution for the State of Mis nmu4, reported yesterday. The ar ticle- which will be first inquired af ter is to (lie following effect : ? Tl>e Legislature shall have no power to manumit slaves except on condition of paying their full value to their ownm ^ H shall have no power to prevent emigrants from bringing; their slaves into this State : it shall have power to prevent slaves from being brought to Missouri to be sold as Merchandize : person* who have been/ or may he brought into the United States in violation of the laws of Congress for the suppression of the foreign slave trade, shall be free on arriving in the State of Missouri ; their posterity likewise ; the right of }u>ry trial for offences hl>ove the gwle of petit larceufcy is secured to slaves; ^t is roa^e the duty of .the court to assign them counsel w hen they have it nor: if convicted, to be punished |n * the same manuer thilt white per sona womUI beior the like offences : homicide, and dismemberment of a slave to be pujjjsbed as if committed upon a w hite persons ; and it is made the duty of the Legislature to pn8^ Ittwp.for the protection of * slaves against injuries from their masters. ~The other parts of the constitution are, in general deemed liberal and $uljghten$d, and calculated to insure - an able goyernipeut to (be State of Missouri.
