St. Louis, May 22.
In connection with the negotiations concluded yesterday between Gen. Harney and Gen. Price, a synopsis of which was telegraphed last night, Gen. Harney published this morning the following address:
To the People of Missouri: I take great pleasure in submitting to you the following paper signed by Gen. Price, commanding the forces of the State, and myself, on the part of the government of the United States. It will be seen that the united forces of both governments are pledged to the maintenance of the peace of the State, and the defence of the rights and property of all persons, without distinction of party. This pledge, which both parties are fully authorized and empowered to give, by the governments which they represent, will be by both most religiously and sacredly kept; and, if necessary to put down evil disposed persons, the military power of both governments will be called out to enforce the terms of the honorable and amicable agreement which has been made. I therefore call upon all persons in this State to observe good order, and respect the rights of their fellow citizens, and give them the assurance of protection and security in the most ample manner.
[Signed.]
WM. S. HARNEY,
Brigadier General Commanding
