THE TRUE REPUBLICAN TYcKET--
THE LOSS OF MISSOURI--THE GAIN OF
TENNESSEE.

L
The returns winch begin to reach us from the
remote and 9wly settling counties on our distant
and extensive frontiers, confirms the misgivings
which our correspondence shortly previous TO the
election had awakened respecting the vote Of Mis-.
souri, Immense observation-disclosures upOn thou
sands of emigrants have poured into the hickapoo,
the Sprinp River, the Au Glaze, the Current and
the Platte country--and these acceSsions have
gone almost in body for the administration and
its men-who as falsely claim to be the frclaStre
friends Of pre-emptors and pioneers, as to be the
exclusive democracy. More than this--the class ofs
emirrants 10 whom we alIude brought the seeds OF
political error along with them Having carried the
poke stalk" in Tennessee, in honor OF the present
Governor of that State, they have very naturally
iolned in the derision which is affected for the
symbol "cabn" o: the Whlgs--and have sworn an
he9al of the cider press long as there is
still worm and cornield in the country.
The Wings of the Union will hence be enabled
to apDreciatc the reason why, with immense gains
in the interior and old settled sections of the State,
their brethren in Missouri continue to be borne
down BY the incubus of LoCo-fUcosm. From the
causes alluded to, the counties Of Platte and Bu-
cEunan (both of which were organised at the last
session. have given ajority of more thOn 400

| The county of Polk, we understand has thrown
about GO0-Pulaski G00-Newton between 6 and

sides. Let 1t, therefore, be recorded TO the eternal
honor of the Wings Of Missouri-thut wih every
odds against them, they have MORE THAN HELD
THEIR owN-thut they have run their adversaries
to the girh if not beaten them for the Lcgisa
ture-that General Harrison is stronger amongst
Us than his friends--und that, whether beaten or
otherwise, erc5y voter in Missouri. who is opposed
to the corrupt and ruinous measures Of the admin
stration will record his against it in Novem-
Der. In that, and in the proceedings embodied in
an article from the "TimeS," may be read the spirit
ard the feeling of the Wings Of MIssOuri--and if
shall result that Van Buren, carries the four votes
of this State at the expense Of fifteen in Tennes-
ee--why, we shall have TO bear it until we cant

from the causes alluded to, the popular majority
