Missouri We have again some glorious intelligence from Missouri. We hope it is true. If the intrepid McCulloch has gotten a start he will now be apt to sweep the Western part of the State, while General Polk advances upon Cairo and St. Louis. We look for a brilliant campaign in Missouri. A Convention is assembled in Jefferson City which, in a cowardly and slavish spirit, is endeavoring to bow the States at the footstool of Lincoln after the gross outrages, the ruthless tyranny which he has put upon the people of Missouri. There are, we believe, seventy-one members in this body — only about one-half of its full number. Those absent are under the influence of the reign of terror. Were they to appear in the Capital, now in the hands of the Federalists as it is, they would more than probably be arrested and put in prison for treason.
