Missouri State Convention Convened

JEFFERSON CITY, April 28. – The Governor to-day issued his proclamation convening the State Convention on the first Monday in June, at this place. The Principal cause given is that the State ought to be restored so as to give Missouri two additional representatives in Congress, to which she is entitled under the late ratio of representation.

It is thought a full attendance of the members well be had.
