The Missouri Legislature. St. Louis, Jan. 19. --The House concurred in the slight amendments made by the Senate yesterday to the Convention bill, and the bill was finally passed. The amendment reads as follows: "No act, ordinance or resolution shall be valid to change or dissolve the political relations of this State to the government of the United States or any other State, until a majority of the qualified voters of the State shall ratify the same." Mr. Russell, the Commissioner from Mississippi, made a strong secession speech before a joint convention of both Houses of the Legislature last night.
