ST. LOUIS, April 27.
The Republican states that Gov. Jackson has unreservedly declared his policy to be peace, and that he convened the Legislature only for the purpose of more perfectly organizing the militia, and putting the State of Missouri in a proper attitude of defense. That he told Price, President of the Missouri State Convention, he thought that body ought not to be called together for the purpose of passing a secession ordinance,--that he is in favor of retaining the present status, leaving it to circumstances as they may arise, to determine the best course for Missouri to pursue.
